When grown in a mineral medium with yeast cell walls or yeast glucan as the sole carbon source, Bacillus circulans WL-12 produces wall-lytic enzymes in addition to non-lytic beta-(1 leads to 3) and beta-(1 leads to 6)-glucananases. The lytic enzymes were isolated from the culture liquid by adsorption on insoluble yeast glucan in batch operation. After digestion of the glucan, the mixture of enzymes was chromatographed on hydroxylapatite on which the lytic activity could be resolved into one lytic beta-(1 leads to 6)glucanase and two lytic beta-(1 leads to 3)-glucanase was further purified by chromatography over diethylamino-ehtyl-agarose and carboxymethyl cellulose. Its specific activity on pustulan was 6.2 units per mg of protein. The enzyme moved as a single protein with a molecular weight of 54000 during sodium dodecylsulphate electrophoresis in slab gels. Hydrolysis of pustulan went thorugh a series of oligosaccharides, leading to a mixture of gentiotriose, gentiobiose and glucose. The enzyme also produced small amounts of gentiobiose from laminarin and pachyman and on this basis its lytic activity on yeast cell walls,was attribut beta-(1 leads to 3)-linked oligosaccharides were not detected. The lytic beta-(1 leads to 6)-glucanase has an optimum pH of 6.0. Pustulan hydrolysis followed Michaelis-Menten kinetics. A Km of 0.29 mg pustulan per ml and a V of 9.1 micro-equivalents of glucose released/min per mg of enzyme were calculated. The enzyme has no metal ion requirement. The lytic beta-(1 leads to 6)-glucanase differs in essence from the non-lytic beta-(1 leads to 6)-glucanase of the same organism by its positive action on yeast cell walls and yeast glucan and its much lower specific activity on soluble pustulan. 相似文献

Motile actinomycetes capable of degrading walls of viable yeast cells were isolated from soil and identified as Oerskovia xanthineolytica. A lytic assay based on susceptibility of enzyme-treated cells to osmotic shock was developed, and 10 of 15 strains of O. xanthineolytica, Oerskovia turbata, and nonmotile Oerskovia- like organisms from other collections were found to possess yeast lytic activities. All lytic strains produced laminaranase and alpha-mannanase, but the amounts, determined by reducing group assays, were not proportional to the observed lytic activities. The Oerskovia isolates demonstrated chemotactic, predatory activity against various yeast strains and killed yeasts in mixed cultures. Of 15 carbon sources tested for production of lytic enzyme, purified yeast cell walls elicited the highest activity. Glucose repressed enzyme production and caused cells to remain in the microfilamentous and motile rod stages of the Oerskovia cell cycle. Crude lytic activity was optimal at pH 5.6 to 7.0 and inactivated by heating for 6 min at 50 degrees C. Partial purification by isoelectric focusing showed that all lytic activity was associated with four beta-(1-->3)-glucanases. The absence of protein disulfide reductase, N-acetyl-beta-d-hexosaminidase, and phosphomannanase in crude preparations indicated that the principal enzyme responsible for yeast wall lysis was a beta-(1-->3)-glucanase that produced relatively little reducing sugar from yeast glucan. 相似文献

1. When Cytophaga johnsonii was grown in the presence of suitable inducers the culture fluid was capable of lysing thiol-treated yeast cell walls in vitro. 2. Autoclaved or alkali-extracted cells, isolated cell walls and glucan preparations made from them were effective inducers, but living yeast cells or cells killed by minimal heat treatment were not. 3. Chromatographic fractionation of lytic culture fluids showed the presence of two types of endo-beta-(1-->3)-glucanase and several beta-(1-->6)-glucanases; the latter may be induced separately by growing the myxo-bacterium in the presence of lutean. 4. Extensive solubilization of yeast cell walls was obtained only with preparations of one of these glucanases, an endo-beta-(1-->3)-glucanase producing as end products mainly oligosaccharides having five or more residues. Lysis by the other endo-beta-(1-->3)-glucanase was incomplete. 5. The beta-(1-->6)-glucanases produced a uniform thinning of the cell walls, and mannan-peptide was found in the solution. 6. These results, and the actions of the enzyme preparations on a variety of wall-derived preparations made from baker's yeast, are discussed in the light of present conceptions of yeast cell-wall structure. 相似文献

Endo-β-(1 → 3)- and endo-β-(1 → 6)-glucanases are produced in high concentration in the culture fluid of Bacillus circulans WL-12 when grown in a mineral medium with bakers' yeast cell walls as the sole carbon source. Much lower enzyme levels were found when laminarin, pustulan, or mannitol was the substrate. The two enzyme activities were well separated during Sephadex G-100 chromatography. The endo-β-(1 → 3)-glucanase was further purified by diethylaminoethyl-cellulose and hydroxyapatite chromatography, whereas the endo-β-(1 → 6)-glucanase could be purified further by diethylamino-ethyl-cellulose and carboxymethyl cellulose chromatography. The endo-β-(1 → 3)-glucanase was specific for the β-(1 → 3)-glucosidic bond, but it did not hydrolyze laminaribiose; laminaritriose was split very slowly. β-(1 → 4)-Bonds in oat glucan in which the glucosyl moiety is substituted in the 3-position were also cleaved. The kinetics of laminarin hydrolysis (optimum pH 5.0) were complex but appeared to follow Michaelis-Menten theory, especially at the lower substrate concentrations. Glucono-δ-lactone was a noncompetitive inhibitor and Hg2+ inhibited strongly. The enzyme has no metal ion requirements or essential sulfhydryl groups. The purified β-(1 → 6)-glucanase has an optimum pH of 5.5, and its properties were studied in less detail. In contrast to the crude culture fluid, the two purified β-glucanases have only a very limited hydrolytic action on cell wall of either bakers' yeast or of Schizosaccharomyces pombe. Although our previous work had assumed that the two glucanases studied here are responsible for cell wall lysis, it now appears that the culture fluid contains in addition a specific lytic enzyme which is eliminated during the extensive purification process. 相似文献

Enzymes of the yeast lytic system produced by Arthrobacter GJM-1 bacterium and their role in the lysis of yeast cell walls. 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8
Yeast lytic system produced by Arthrobacter GJM-1 bacterium during growth on baker's yeast cell walls contains a complete set of enzymes which can hydrolyze all structural components of cell walls of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Chromatographic fractionation of the lytic system showed the presence of two types of endo-beta-1,3-glucanase. Rapid lysis of isolated cell walls of yeast was induced only by endo-beta-1,3-glucanase exhibiting high affinity to insoluble beta-1,3-glucans and releasing laminaripentaose as the main product of hydrolysis of beta-1,3-glucans. This enzyme was able to lyse intact cells of S. cerevisiae only in the presence of an additional factor present in the Arthrobacter GJM-1 lytic system, which was identified as an alkaline protease. This enzyme possesses the lowest molecular weight among other identified enzyme components present in the lytic system. Its role in the solubilization of yeast cell walls from the outer surface by endo-beta-1,3-glucanase could be substituted by preincubation of cells with Pronase or by allowing the glucanase to act on cells in the presence of thiol reagents. The mechanism of lysis of intact cells and isolated cell walls by the enzymes of Arthrobacter GJM-1 is discussed in the light of the present conception of yeast cell wall structure. 相似文献

Summary Increased yields of -1,3-glucanase were produced byBasidiomycete sp. QM 806 when the organism was cultivated in soy flour-glucose media buffered at pH3.0. Enzyme digests of laminarin and yeast glucan contained mainly glucose and low levels of laminaribiose and gentiobiose. 相似文献

The effect of carbon sources on the level of beta-1,3-glucanases in the culture filtrates of Trichoderma harzianum (Tc) was investigated. Enzyme activity was detected in all carbon sources, but highest levels were found when laminarin and purified cell walls were used. Three isoforms of beta-1,3-glucanase were produced during growth of the fungus on purified cell walls. Two isoforms were produced on chitin, chitosan, N-acetylglucosamine and laminarin, while only one was detected when the fungus was grown on cellulose and glucose. A 36-kDa beta-1,3-glucanase (GLU36) was secreted from T. harzianum (Tc) grown on all carbon sources tested as demonstrated by Western blot analysis. We found that a significant increase in the level of GLU36 in the culture filtrate follows glucose exhaustion, suggesting that this enzyme is controlled by carbon catabolite repression. 相似文献

Simple method for the isolation of astaxanthin from the basidiomycetous yeast Phaffia rhodozyma. 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

A method is described for the quantitative and, possibly, large-scale extraction of astaxanthin from the yeast Phaffia rhodozyma. The method utilizes extracellular enzymes produced by the bacterium Bacillus circulans WL-12, which partially digests the yeast cell wall and renders the carotenoid pigments extractable by acetone or ethanol. Complete recovery of astaxanthin from heat-killed P. rhodozyma cells was obtained after growing B. circulans WL-12 on these yeast cells for 26 h and then extracting the yeast-bacterium mixture with acetone. A bacteria-free lytic system, which gave quantitative extraction of astaxanthin from P. rhodozyma, was obtained by concentrating the culture broth from the growth of B. circulans WL-12 on P. rhodozyma cells. Hydrolytic enzyme activities detected in this concentrate included beta-(1 leads to 3)-glucanase, beta-(1 leads to 6)-glucanase, alpha-(1 leads to 3)-glucanase, xylanase, and chitinase. The lytic system was found to work most efficiently at pH 6.5 and with low concentrations of yeast. 相似文献

The biocontrol agent Trichoderma harzianum IMI206040 secretes beta-1,3-glucanases in the presence of different glucose polymers and fungal cell walls. The level of beta-1,3-glucanase activity secreted was found to be proportional to the amount of glucan present in the inducer. The fungus produces at least seven extracellular beta-1,3-glucanases upon induction with laminarin, a soluble beta-1,3-glucan. The molecular weights of five of these enzymes fall in the range from 60,000 to 80,000, and their pIs are 5.0 to 6.8. In addition, a 35-kDa protein with a pI of 5.5 and a 39-kDa protein are also secreted. Glucose appears to inhibit the formation of all of the inducible beta-1,3-glucanases detected. A 77-kDa glucanase was partially purified from the laminarin culture filtrate. This enzyme is glycosylated and belongs to the exo-beta-1,3-glucanase group. The properties of this complex group of enzymes suggest that the enzymes might play different roles in host cell wall lysis during mycoparasitism. 相似文献

Purification,Crystallization, and Properties of an Endo β-1,3-Glucanase from Rhizopus chinensis R-69
An endo β-l,3-glucanase was purified in crystalline form from a culture filtrate of Rhizopus chinensis R-69. Molecular weight of the enzyme was determined to be 23,000 by molecular sieve chromatography and the mode of action of the enzyme was suggested to be a less random type of β-1,3-glucanase. Km and Vmax of the enzyme for laminarin are 3.4 g/liter and 1541. U., respectively. The enzyme does not decompose the cell walls of living yeast; it decomposes, however, the preparation of yeast glucan. 相似文献

Trichoderma asperellum produces at least two extracellular beta-1,3-glucanases upon induction with cell walls from Rhizoctonia solani. A beta-1,3-glucanase was purified by gel filtration and ion exchange chromatography. A typical procedure provided 35.7-fold purification with 9.5% yield. The molecular mass of the purified exo-beta-1,3-glucanases was 83.1 kDa as estimated using a 12% (w/v) SDS-electrophoresis slab gel. The enzyme was only active toward glucans containing beta-1,3-linkages and hydrolyzed laminarin in an exo-like fashion to form glucose. The K(m) and V(max) values for exo-beta-1,3-glucanase, using laminarin as substrate, were 0.087 mg ml(-1) and 0.246 U min(-1), respectively. The pH optimum for the enzyme was pH 5.1 and maximum activity was obtained at 55 degrees C. Hg(2+) strongly inhibited the purified enzyme. 相似文献

Extracellular enzymes with glucanase activities are an important component of actinomycete-fungus antagonism. Streptomyces sp. EF-14 has been previously identified as one of the most potent antagonists of Phytophthora spp. A beta-1,6-glucanase (EC 3.2.1.75; glucan endo-1,6-beta-glucosidase) was purified by four chromatographic steps from the culture supernatant of strain EF-14 grown on a medium with lyophilized cells of Candida utilis as main nutrient source. The glucanase level in this medium followed a characteristic pattern in which the rise of beta-1,6-glucanase activity always preceded that of beta-1,3-glucanase. The molecular mass of the enzyme was estimated to be 65 kDa and the pI approximately 5.5. It hydrolyzed pustulan by an endo-mechanism generating gentiobiose and glucose as final products. Laminarin was not hydrolyzed indicating that the enzyme does not recognize beta-1,6-links flanked by beta-1,3-links. No significant clearing of yeast cell walls in liquid suspensions or in agar plates was observed indicating that this beta-1,6-glucanase is a non-lytic enzyme. This is the first beta-1,6-glucanase characterized from an actinomycete. 相似文献

Fungal cell wall degrading chitinases and glucanases attained significance in agriculture, medicine, and environment management. The present study was conducted to describe the optimum conditions required for the production of beta-1,4-N-acetyl glucosaminidase (NAGase) and beta-1,3-glucanase by a biocontrol strain of Bacillus subtilis AF 1. B. subtilis AF 1 was grown in minimal medium with colloidal chitin (3.0%) and yeast extract (0.3% YE ) and incubated at pH 7.0 and 30 degrees C on constant shaker at 180 rpm for 6 days produced highest amounts of NAGase. Presence of 0.5 mM of phenyl methyl sulfonyl fluoride (PMSF) and 0.04% of Tween 20 further improved the enzyme production. B. subtilis AF 1 grown in minimal medium with laminarin (1%) and yeast extract (0.3%) for 3 days produced maximum amount of beta-1,3-glucanase. These conditions can be further scaled-up for large-scale production of NAGase and beta-1,3-glucanase by B. subtilis AF 1. 相似文献

Verticillium biguttatum, a mycoparasite of the ubiquitous soil-borne plant pathogen Rhizoctonia solani, excreted chitinase and beta-1,3-glucanase into liquid medium when grown on laminarin and chitin, respectively. Neither chitinase nor beta-1,3-glucanase was produced by the mycoparasite when grown on cell walls of two isolates of R. solani representing anastomosis groups (AG)-3 and AG-8. Extracellular protease was induced by growth on cell walls of the pathogen, whereas beta-1,3-glucanase and chitinase were produced bound to the cell wall of V. biguttatum. This is the first report of chitinase, beta-1,3-glucanase and protease production by V. biguttatum. These enzymes may play a previously unforeseen role in dissolving and penetrating the cell walls of R. solani. 相似文献

Characterization of an extracellular enzyme system produced by Micromonospora chalcea with lytic activity on yeast cells 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Growth of Micromonospora chalcea on a defined medium containing laminarin as the sole carbon source induced the production of an extracellular enzyme system capable of lysing cells of various yeast species. Production of the lytic enzyme system was repressed by glucose. Incubation of sensitive cells with the active component enzymes of the lytic system produced protoplasts in high yield. Analysis of the enzyme composition indicated that beta(1-->3) glucanase and protease were the most prominent hydrolytic activities present in the culture fluids. The system also displayed weak chitinase and beta(1-->6) glucanase activities whilst devoid of mannanase activity. Our observations suggest that the glucan supporting the cell wall framework of susceptible yeast cells is not directly accessible to the purified endo-beta(1-->3) glucanase and that external proteinaceous components prevent breakdown of this polymer in whole cells. We propose that protease acts in synergy with beta(1-->3) glucanase and that the primary action of the former on surface components allows subsequent solubilization of inner glucan leading to lysis. 相似文献

The localization of the derepressible beta-1,3-glucanases of Penicillium italicum and the cell wall autolysis under conditions of beta-1,3-glucanase derepression (24 h in a low-glucose medium) were studied. About 15% of the total activity was secreted into the culture medium during the 24-h period and consisted of similar amounts of each of the three beta-1,3-glucanases (I, II, III) produced by this species. Treatment of derepressed mycelia with periplasmic enzyme-inactivating agents resulted in a loss of 45% of the mycelium-bound beta-1,3-glucanase. Analysis of periplasmic enzymes solubilized by 2 M NaCl or by autolysis of isolated cell walls revealed that only beta-1,3-glucanases II and III were bound to the cell wall. These two enzymes were capable of releasing in vitro reducing sugars from cell walls, whereas beta-1,3-glucanase I was not. In addition, the autolytic activity of cell walls isolated from derepressed mycelium was greater than that of cell walls isolated from repressed mycelium. The incubation of the fungus in the low-glucose medium also resulted in the in vivo mobilization of 34% of the cell wall beta-1,3-glucan, and this mobilization was fully prevented by cycloheximide, which also blocked derepression of beta-1,3-glucanases. Derepression of beta-1,3-glucanase seems to be coupled to the mobilization of cell wall glucan. 相似文献

The filamentous fungus Penicillium italicum, grown in a defined liquid medium, produced beta-1,3-glucanase, which remained essentially bound to the cells, and beta-1,6-glucanase, an essentially extracellular enzyme. When glucose was depleted from the medium, when a limited concentration of glucose (0.2%) was maintained, or when the carbon source was galactose (3%) or lactose (3%), a significant increase in the specific activity of beta-1,3-glucanase, in cell extracts, took place. This was paralleled by a very slow rate of growth, and under glucose limitation, the appearance of beta-1,3-glucanase in the medium was also observed. On the other hand, when an excess of glucose, fructose, or sucrose was present, the specific activity remained constant and active growth was promoted. Laminarin, cellobiose, gentiobiose, and isolated Penicillium italicum walls were not capable of significantly inducing beta-1,3-glucanase synthesis to a level beyond that attained by glucose limitation. A similar behavior was observed for beta-1,6-glucanase. beta-1,3-Glucanase and beta-1,6-glucanase are therefore constitutive enzymes subjected to catabolite repression. The results are discussed in the context of the possible functions that have been suggested for glucanases and related enzymes. 相似文献

The role of the lytic enzyme beta-(1,3)-glucanase in cell wall synthesis and its distribution in the mycelium of the fungus Sclerotium rolfsii were studied. Enzyme activity was determined after enzyme extraction with Triton X-100 from a cell wall preparation. Specific zones of immunofluorescence appeared in the hyphal tips, clamp connections, new septa, and lateral branching when a specific antiserum was used with the indirect method of the fluorescent antibody staining. Enzymatic activity in the cell wall preparation was inactivated by diethylpyrocarbonate. However, 69% of the total enzymatic activity was present in a latent form which was not affected by the ester. This result suggests that most of the beta-(1,3)-glucanase was present along the hyphal cell walls in a "masked" form. An active enzyme appeared only in those regions which showed immunofluorescence. The activity of glucan synthetase, an enzyme essential for wall formation, was higher in the branching funus grown on L-threonine-supplemented synthetic medium than in the synthetic medium-grown fungus. 相似文献
