α-Glucosidase III, which was different in substrate specificity from honeybee α-glucosidases I and II, was purified as an electrophoretically homogeneous protein from honeybees, by salting-out chromatography, DEAE-cellulose, DEAE-Sepharose CL-6B, Bio-Gel P-150, and CM-Toyopearl 650M column chromatographies. The enzyme preparation was confirmed to be a monomeric protein and a glycoprotein containing about 7.4% of carbohydrate. The molecular weight was estimated to approximately 68,000, and the optimum pH was 5.5. The substrate specificity of α-glucosidase III was kinetically investigated. The enzyme did not show unusual kinetics, such as the allosteric behaviors observed in α-glucosidases I and II, which are monomeric proteins. The enzyme was characterized by the ability to rapidly hydrolyze sucrose, phenyl α-glucoside, maltose, and maltotriose, and by extremely high Km for substrates, compared with those of α-glucosidases I and II. Especially, maltotriose was hydrolyzed over 3 times as rapidly as maltose. However, maltooligosaccharides of four or more in the degree of polymerization were slowly degraded. The relative rates of the k0 values for maltose, sucrose, p-nitrophenyl α-glucoside and maltotriose were estimated to be 100, 527, 281 and 364, and the Km values for these substrates, 11, 30, 13, and 10 mM, respectively. The subsite affinities (Ai’s) in the active site were tentatively evaluated from the rate parameters for maltooligosaccharides. In this enzyme, it was peculiar that the Ai value at subsite 3 was larger than that of subsite 1.  相似文献

The substrate specificity of honeybee alpha-glucosidase I, a monomeric enzyme was kinetically investigated. Unusual kinetic features were observed in the cleavage reactions of sucrose, maltose, p-nitrophenyl alpha-glucoside, phenyl alpha-glucoside, turanose, and maltodextrin (DP = 13). At relatively high substrate concentrations, the velocities of liberation of fructose from sucrose, glucose from maltose, p-nitrophenol from p-nitrophenyl alpha-glucoside, and phenol from phenyl alpha-glucoside were accelerated, and so the Lineweaver-Burk plots were convex, indicating negative kinetic cooperativity: the Hill coefficients were calculated to be 0.50, 0.64, 0.50, and 0.67 for sucrose, maltose, p-nitrophenyl alpha-glucoside, and phenyl alpha-glucoside, respectively. For the degradation of turanose and maltodextrin, the enzyme showed a sigmoidal curve in v versus s plots and thus catalyzed the reaction with positive kinetic cooperativity. The Lineweaver-Burk plots were concave and the Hill coefficients were 1.2 and 1.5 for turanose and maltodextrin, respectively. These unique properties cannot be interpreted by the reaction mechanism that Huber and Thompson proposed: (1973) Biochemistry 12, 4011-4020. The rate parameters for the hydrolysis of sucrose, maltose, p-nitrophenyl alpha-glucoside and phenyl alpha-glucoside were estimated by extrapolating the linear part of the Lineweaver-Burk plots at low substrate concentrations.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)  相似文献

A maltooligosaccharide-metabolizing enzyme from Thermoactinomyces vulgaris R-47 (TGA) homologous to glucoamylases does not degrade starch efficiently unlike most glucoamylases such as fungal glucoamylases (Uotsu-Tomita et al., Appl. Microbiol. Biotechnol., 56, 465-473 (2001)). In this study, we purified and characterized TGA, and determined the subsite affinities of the enzyme. The optimal pH and temperature of the enzyme are 6.8 and 60 degrees C, respectively. Activity assays with 0.4% substrate showed that TGA was most active against maltotriose, but did not prefer soluble starch. Kinetic analysis using maltooligosaccharides ranging from maltose to maltoheptaose revealed that TGA has high catalytic efficiency for maltotriose and maltose. Based on the kinetics, subsite affinities were determined. The A1+A2 value of this enzyme was highly positive whereas A4-A6 values were negative and little affinity was detected at subsites 3 and 7. Thus, the subsite structure of TGA is different from that of any other GA. The results indicate that TGA is a metabolizing enzyme specific for small maltooligosaccharides.  相似文献

Three forms of alpha-glucosidase, I, II, and III, have been purified from the whole body extract of adult flies of Drosophila melanogaster in yields of 2.1, 5.3, and 6.7%, respectively. The purification procedures involved ammonium sulfate fractionation, Con A-Sepharose 4B affinity chromatography, DEAE-Sepharose CL-6B ion exchange chromatography, Sephacryl S-200 gel filtration, and preparative gel electrophoresis. Each purified enzyme showed a single band on polyacrylamide gel on both protein and enzyme activity staining. The molecular weights of alpha-glucosidases I, II, and III were estimated to be 200,000, 56,000, and 76,000, respectively, by gel filtration. SDS gels indicated that alpha-glucosidases II and III were each composed of a single polypeptide chain, whereas alpha-glucosidase I was composed of two identical subunits. Both alpha-glucosidases II and III hydrolyzed sucrose and p-nitrophenyl-alpha-D-glucoside (PNPG), but alpha-glucosidase I hydrolyzed PNPG to a much lesser extent than sucrose. For sucrose the pH optima of alpha-glucosidases I, II, and III were pH 6.0, 5.0, and 6.0 and the Km values were 13.1, 8.9, and 10 mM, respectively. For PNPG the pH optima of alpha-glucosidases II and III were pH 5.5 and 6.5 and the Km values were 0.77 and 0.21 mM, respectively.  相似文献

The goal of this study was to develop a maltose-producing enzyme using protein engineering and to clarify the relation between the substrate specificity and the structure of the substrate-binding site of dimeric maltogenic amylase isolated from Thermus (ThMA). Ala290 at the interface of ThMA dimer in the vicinity of the substrate-binding site was substituted with isoleucine, which may cause a structural change due to its bulky side chain. TLC analysis of the action pattern of the mutant ThMA-A290I, using maltooligosaccharides as substrates, revealed that ThMA-A290I used maltotetraose to produce mostly maltose, while wild-type ThMA produced glucose as well as maltose. The wild-type enzyme eventually hydrolyzed the maltose produced from maltotetraose into glucose, but the mutant enzyme did not. For both enzymes, the cleavage frequency of the glycosidic bond of maltooligosaccharides was the highest at the second bond from the reducing end. The mutant ThMA had a much higher Km value for maltose than the wild-type ThMA. The kinetic parameter, kcat/Km) of ThMA-A290I for maltose was 48 times less than that of wild-type ThMA, suggesting that the subsite affinity and hydrolysis mode of ThMA were modulated by the residue located at the interface of ThMA dimer near the active site. The conformational rearrangement in the catalytic interface probably led to the change in the substrate binding affinity of the mutant ThMA. Our results provide basic information for the enzymatic preparation of high-maltose syrup.  相似文献

Transglucosylation activities of spinach α-glucosidase I and IV, which have different substrate specificity for hydrolyzing activity, were investigated. In a maltose mixture, α-glucosidase I, which has high activity toward not only maltooligosaccharides but also soluble starch and can hydrolyze isomaltose, produced maltotriose, isomaltose, and panose, and α-glucosidase IV, which has high activity toward maltooligosaccharides but faint activity toward soluble starch and isomaltose, produced maltotriose, kojibiose, and 2,4-di-α-D-glucosyl-glucose. Transglucosylation to sucrose by α-glucosidase I and IV resulted in the production of theanderose and erlose, respectively, showing that spinach α-glucosidase I and IV are useful to synthesize the α-1,6-glucosylated and α-1,2- and 1,4-glucosylated products, respectively.  相似文献

Three kinds of alpha-glucosidases, I, II, and III, were purified from European honeybees, Apis mellifera L. In addition, an alpha-glucosidase was also purified from honey. Some properties, including the substrate specificity of honey alpha-glucosidase, were almost the same as those of alpha-glucosidase III. Specific antisera against the alpha-glucosidases were prepared to examine the localization of alpha-glucosidases in the organs of honeybees. It was immunologically confirmed for the first time that alpha-glucosidase I was present in ventriculus, and alpha-glucosidase II, in ventriculus and haemolymph. alpha-Glucosidase III, which became apparent to be honey alpha-glucosidase, was present in the hypopharyngeal gland, from which the enzyme may be secreted into nectar gathered by honeybees. Honey may be finally made up through the process whereby sucrose in nectar, in which glucose and fructose also are naturally contained, is hydrolyzed by secreted alpha-glucosidase III.  相似文献

The action pattern and mechanism of the Taka-amylase A-catalyzed reaction were studied quantitatively and kinetically by product analysis, using a series of maltooligosaccharides from maltotriose (G3) to maltoheptaose (G7) labeled at the reducing end with 14C-glucose. A marked concentration dependency of the product distribution from the end-labeled oligosaccharides was found, Especially with G3 and G4 as substrates. The relative cleavage frequency at the first glycosidic bond counting from the nonreducing end of the substrate increases with increasing substrate concentration. Further product analyses with unlabeled and end-labeled G3 as substrates yielded the following findings: 1) Maltose is produced in much greater yield than glucose from unlabeled G3 at high concentration (73 mM). 2) Maltooligosaccharides higher than the starting substrate were found in the hydrolysate of labeled G3. 3) Nonreducing end-labeled maltose (G-G), which is a specific product of condensation, was found to amount to only about 4% of the total labeled maltose. Based on these findings, it was concluded that transglycosylation plays a significant role in the reaction at high concentrations of G3, although the contribution of condensation cannot be ignored. A new method for evaluating subsite affinities is proposed; it is based on the combination of the kinetic parameter (ko/Km) and the bond-cleavage distribution at a sufficiently low substrate concentration, where transglycosylation and condensation can be ignored. This method was applied to evaluate the subsite affinities of Taka-amylase A. Based on a reaction scheme which involves hydrolysis, transglycosylation and condensation, the time courses of the formation of various products were simulated, using the Runge-Kutta-Gill method. Good agreement with the experimental results was obtained.  相似文献

Bacillus stearothermophilus alpha-1,4-glucosidase (BS) is highly specific for alpha-1,4-glucosidic bonds of maltose, maltooligosaccharides and alpha-glucans. Bacillus thermoglucosdasius oligo-1,6-glucosidase (BT) can specifically hydrolyse alpha-1,6 bonds of isomaltose, isomaltooligosaccharides and alpha-limit dextrin. The two enzymes have high homology in primary structure and belong to glycoside hydrolase family 13, which contain four conservative regions (I, II, III and IV). The two enzymes are suggested to be very close in structure, even though there are strict differences in their substrate specificities. Molecular determinants of substrate recognition in these two enzymes were analysed by site-directed mutagenesis. Twenty BT-based mutants and three BS-based mutants were constructed and characterized. Double substitutions in BT of Val200 -->Ala in region II and Pro258 -->Asn in region III caused an appearance of maltase activity compared with BS, and a large reduction of isomaltase activity. The values of k(0)/K(m) (s(-1). mM(-1)) of the BT-mutant for maltose and isomaltose were 69.0 and 15.4, respectively. We conclude that the Val/Ala200 and Pro/Asn258 residues in the alpha-glucosidases may be largely responsible for substrate recognition, although the regions I and IV also exert a slight influence. Additionally, BT V200A and V200A/P258N possessed high hydrolase activity towards sucrose.  相似文献

We have previously found that some mammalian tissue homogenates can catalyze a unique transglucosylation from maltose to L-ascorbic acid (AA), resulting in a chemically stable AA derivative, L-ascorbic acid alpha-glucoside (AAG). In the present study, the enzyme responsible for this transglucosylation was isolated from rat intestinal membrane. The formation of AAG was determined by HPLC with an ODS column. The specific activity of AAG-forming enzyme was increased in parallel with that of alpha-glucosidase (maltose hydrolase) during the purification, and two neutral alpha-glucosidases, termed alpha-glucosidases I and II, were purified to apparent homogeneity. Their enzymological properties showed that they corresponded to maltase [EC 3.2.1.20] and sucrase-isomaltase complex [EC 3.2.1.48/10], respectively. Both enzymes could form AAG by splitting only maltose among the disaccharides examined, although alpha-glucosidase I possessed a considerably higher activity than the other enzyme. Both AAG formation and maltose hydrolysis were dependent on incubation temperature with the maximal activity at 60 degrees C, but there was an apparent difference between their pH optima. AAG thus formed could also be hydrolyzed by the purified enzymes. From these results, it is concluded that membrane-bound neutral alpha-glucosidases from rat intestine have site-specific transglucosylase activity to form nonreducing AAG which is distinct from L-ascorbic acid-6-O-alpha-D-glucoside.  相似文献

Hydrolysis of small substrates (maltose, maltotriose and o-nitrophenylmaltoside) catalysed by porcine pancreatic alpha-amylase was studied from a kinetic viewpoint over a wide range of substrate concentrations. Non-linear double-reciprocal plots are obtained at high maltose, maltotriose and o-nitrophenylmaltoside concentrations indicating typical substrate inhibition. These results are consistent with the successive binding of two molecules of substrate per enzyme molecule with dissociation constants Ks1 and Ks2. The Hill plot, log [v/(V-v)] versus log [S], is clearly biphasic and allows the dissociation constants of the ES1 and ES2 complexes to be calculated. Maltose and maltotriose are inhibitors of the amylase-catalysed amylose and o-nitrophenylmaltoside hydrolysis. The inhibition is of the competitive type. The (apparent) inhibition constant Kiapp varies with the inhibitor concentration. These results are also consistent with the successive binding of at least two molecules of maltose or maltotriose per amylase molecule with the dissociation constants Ki1 and Ki2. These inhibition studies show that small substrates and large polymeric ones are hydrolysed at the same catalytic site(s). The values of the dissociation constants Ks1 and Ki1 of the maltose-amylase complexes are identical. According to the five-subsite energy profile previously determined, at low concentration, maltose (as substrate and as inhibitor) binds to the same two sites (4,5) or (3,4), maltotriose (as substrate and as inhibitor) and o-nitrophenyl-maltoside (as substrate) bind to the same three subsites (3,4,5). The dissociation constants Ks2 and Ki2 determined at high substrate and inhibitor concentration are consistent with the binding of the second ligand molecule at a single subsite. The binding mode of the second molecule of maltose (substrate) and o-nitrophenylmaltoside remains uncertain, very likely because of the inaccuracy due to simplifications in the calculations of the subsite binding energies. No binding site(s) outside the catalytic one has been taken into account in this model.  相似文献

The amino acid composition of two forms of alpha-glucosidase from the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae-II was established and the values of Km, V, kcat and kcat/Km for maltose, maltotriose and p-nitrophenyl-alpha-D-glucopyranoside (PNPG) were determined. PNPG possessed a much higher affinity for the enzyme as compared to sucrose, maltose and maltotriose. The value of V decreased in the following order: PNPG greater than sucrose greater than maltose greater than greater than maltotriose. No differences between the kinetic parameters of individual forms of alpha-glucosidase were observed. Glucose, fructose and methyl-alpha-glucoside act as competitive inhibitors. The two forms of alpha-glucosidase under study have an identical pH optimum and thermal stability.  相似文献

The substrate specificity of honeybee α-glucosidase II, a monomeric protein, was investigated in detail. The enzyme hydrolyzed phenyl α-glucoside and p-nitrophenyl α-glucoside more rapidly than maltooligosaccharides. Unusual kinetics were observed in hydrolysis of sucrose, turanose, kojibiose, and soluble starch. The s versus v plots showed sigmoidal curves, and so the Lineweaver-Burk plots became concave, indicating positive kinetic cooperativity. The Hill coefficients for sucrose, turanose, kojibiose, and soluble starch were calculated to be 1.46, 1.34, 1.15, and 1.28, respectively. The Km values for these substrates were calculated as the concentration at one half of the maximum velocity. The ratios of the maximum velocities for maltose, malto-triose, -tetraose, -pentaose, -hexaose, -heptaose, maltodextrin ( = 13), kojibiose, nigerose, isomaltose, sucrose, turanose, phenyl α-glucoside, p-nitrophenyl α-glucoside, phenyl α-maltoside, and soluble starch were estimated to be 100:163:159:156:149:144:113:96.9:92.2: 31.8:81.5:68.8:268:341:127:17.0, and the Km values for these substrates, 5.4, 4.0, 6.3, 11, 31, 50, 50, 7.6, 20, 5.6, 6.7, 7.7, 1.6, 1.8, 2.0, and 9.4 mM, respectively. The enzyme was also active on α-glucose-1-phosphate. Its maximum activity was 79.9% of that to maltose and the Km was 50 mM. The substrate specificity of this enzyme was different from that of honeybee α-glucosidase I. The two enzymes were found to be immunologically distinct proteins. Based on the rate parameters for maltooligosaccharides, the subsite affinities (Ai’s) in the active site of the enzyme were evaluated. Subsites 1, 2, and 3 having the positive Ai value (A1, A2, and A3: 0.672, 4.61, and 0.483kcal/mol, respectively) were considered to be effective for binding of substrate to the active site.  相似文献

Fermentation of alpha-glucosides (maltose, maltotriose) by Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells is a critical phase in the processes of brewing and breadmaking. Utilization of alpha-glucosides requires the active transport of the sugar across the cell membrane and, subsequently, its hydrolysis by cytoplasmic glucosidases. Although transport activities are usually assayed using radiolabeled substrates, we have developed a simple, cheap and reliable colorimetric assay for the determination of alpha-glucoside uptake using p-nitrophenyl-alpha-D-glucopyranoside (pNPalphaG) as substrate. Our results show that pNPalphaG is actively transported by S. cerevisiae cells by a H+-symport mechanism, which depends on the electrochemical proton gradient across the plasma membrane. pNPalphaG uptake is mediated by the AGT1 alpha-glucoside permease, which has a high affinity (Km=3 mM) for this chromogenic substrate. This simple colorimetric uptake assay can be used to analyze the expression and regulation of the AGT1 permease in S. cerevisiae cells.  相似文献

A cell-bound cyclodextrin-degrading enzyme with a relative molecular mass (Mr) of around 62 000 and an isoelectric point (pI) near 8.0 was isolated and purified to 94% homogeneity from Flavobacterium sp. The enzyme hydrolysed maltooligosaccharides and cyclodextrins to glucose, maltose, and maltotriose. Less glucose, but larger amounts of the line of maltooligosaccharides from maltose to (in case of cyclodextrins) the linearized substrates were found in short-term digests. Digestion of maltotriose yielded glucose, maltose, and some maltotetraose to maltohexaose, i.e. the enzyme catalysed both hydrolysis and transglycosylation. Starch was a poorer substrate, and was hydrolysed to mainly glucose and maltose, presumably by a kind of exo-attack. Pullulan was slightly digested, the products being glucose, panose/isopanose, and larger saccharides containing -1,6-glucosidic bonds. Since maltohexaose to maltooctaose were hydrolysed at higher rates than the cyclodextrins of corresponding lengths, the enzyme of Flavobacterium sp. was proposed to be classified as a decycling maltodextrinase.

In this study, we characterized cyclodextrin glucanotransferase (CGTase) from Bacillus stearothermophilus in L-ascorbic acid-2-O-alpha-D-glucoside (AA-2G) formation and compared its enzymological properties with those of rat intestinal and rice seed alpha-glucosidases which had the ability to form AA-2G. CGTase formed AA-2G efficiently using alpha-cyclodextrin (alpha-CD) as a substrate and ascorbic acid (AA) as an acceptor. Several AA-2-oligoglucosides were also formed in this reaction mixture, and they could be converted to AA-2G by the additional treatment of glucoamylase. The optimum temperature for AA-2G formation was 70 degrees C and its optimum pH was around 5.0. CGTase also utilized beta- and gamma-CDs, maltooligosaccharides, dextrin, amylose, glycogen and starch as substrates, but not any disaccharides except maltose. CGTase showed the same acceptor specificity as two alpha-glucosidases, whereas its hydrolyzing activity towards AA-2G was very low compared with those of alpha-glucosidases. Cleavage profiles of AA-2-oligoglucosides by CGTase present a possible mechanism for AA-2G formation that CGTase transfers a glucose-hexamer to an acceptor at the first step and then a glucose is stepwisely removed from the non-reducing end of the product through glucoamylase-like action of this enzyme. These results indicate that CGTase is able to synthesize AA-2G more efficiently than rat and rice alpha-glucosidases and utilization of this enzyme makes the mass production of AA-2G possible.  相似文献

Glycoside hydrolase family 31 α-glucosidases (31AGs) show various specificities for maltooligosaccharides according to chain length. Aspergillus niger α-glucosidase (ANG) is specific for short-chain substrates with the highest kcat/Km for maltotriose, while sugar beet α-glucosidase (SBG) prefers long-chain substrates and soluble starch. Multiple sequence alignment of 31AGs indicated a high degree of diversity at the long loop (N-loop), which forms one wall of the active pocket. Mutations of Phe236 in the N-loop of SBG (F236A/S) decreased kcat/Km values for substrates longer than maltose. Providing a phenylalanine residue at a similar position in ANG (T228F) altered the kcat/Km values for maltooligosaccharides compared with wild-type ANG, i.e., the mutant enzyme showed the highest kcat/Km value for maltotetraose. Subsite affinity analysis indicated that modification of subsite affinities at + 2 and + 3 caused alterations of substrate specificity in the mutant enzymes. These results indicated that the aromatic residue in the N-loop contributes to determining the chain-length specificity of 31AGs.  相似文献

A fungus producing an alpha-glucosidase that synthesizes alpha-1,3- and alpha-1,2-linked glucooligosaccharides by transglucosylation was isolated and identified as Paecilomyces lilacinus. The cell-bound enzyme responsible for the synthesis was extracted by suspension of mycelia with 0.1 M phosphate buffer (pH 8.0), and the extract was purified. The molecular weight and the isoelectric point were estimated to be 54,000 and 9.1, respectively. The enzyme was most active at pH 5.0 and 65 degres C. The enzyme hydrolyzed maltose, nigerose, and kojibiose. The enzyme also hydrolyzed soluble starch and amylose with the rate toward maltose. p-Nitro-phenyl alpha-glucoside and isomaltose were not good substrates. The enzyme had high transglucosylation activity to synthesize oligosaccharides containing alpha-1,3- and alpha-1,2-linkages. At an early stage of the reaction, considerable maltotriose, 4-O-alpha-nigerosyl-D-glucose, and 4-O-alpha-kojibiosyl-D-glucose were synthesized. Afterwards, nigerose and kojibiose were accumulated gradually with glucose as an acceptor.  相似文献

A newly isolated bacterium, identified as Bacillus subtilis 65, was found to produce raw-starch-digesting alpha-amylase. The electrophoretically homogeneous preparation of enzyme (molecular weight, 68,000) digested and solubilized raw corn starch to glucose and maltose with small amounts of maltooligosaccharides ranging from maltotriose to maltoheptaose. This enzyme was different from other amylases and could digest raw potato starch almost as fast as it could corn starch, but it showed no adsorbability onto any kind of raw starch at any pH. The mixed preparation with Endomycopsis glucoamylase synergistically digested raw potato starch to glucose at 30 degrees C. The raw-potato-starch-digesting alpha-amylase showed strong digestibility to small substrates, which hydrolyzed maltotriose to maltose and glucose, and hydrolyzed p-nitrophenyl maltoside to p-nitrophenol and maltose, which is different from the capability of bacterial liquefying alpha-amylase.  相似文献
