A simple and sensitive method for detection of pullulanase and isoamylase activities in polyacrylamide gels 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Rubén D. González 《Biotechnology Techniques》1994,8(9):659-662
Summary Pullulanase and isoamylase activities in PAGE bands have been detected and distinguished by using a two-step, replica-gel revealing assay. The de-branching activity is first revealed as a bluish-purple band by incubating an amylopectin-agar replica gel and then exposing this to iodine vapour. In the second step, pullulanase can be distinguished from isoamylase by a similar procedure using pullulan-agar replica gel and revealing hydrolysis by flooding the plate with ethanol; pullulanase activity shows a colorless band. The procedure exclude other amylases activities. The sensitivity is such that 0.0015 unit of pullulanase and 0.0004 unit of isoamylase activities can be detected easily. 相似文献

Thermostable pullulanase was purified to homogeneity on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel from the culture supernatant of Bacillus stearothermophilus TRS128. However, multiformity of the pullulanase was suggested by activity staining on a pullulan-reactive red plate. The thermostability of the enzyme was tested. In the presence of Ca2+, the optimum temperature of the pullulanase was 75°C, and nearly 100% of the enzyme activity was retained even after treatment at 68°C for 60 min. Since the thermostable pullulanase gene (pulT) has been cloned, the nucleotide sequence was determined. Although the DNA sequence revealed only one large open reading frame, two possible pairs of SD sequence and initiation codon were found in the frame. To analyze the regulatory region, several mutations (deletion, insertion and substitution of nucleotides) were introduced in the flanking region of pulT, using site-directed mutagenesis. A putative promoter, SD sequence and initiation codon were inferred. The pulT gene was composed of 1974 bases and 658 amino acid residues (molecular weight 75,375). The deduced amino acid sequence of the thermostable pullulanase exhibited a fairly low homology with that of the thermolabile pullulanase from Klebsiella aerogenes. However, four consensus sequences containing catalytic and/or substrate binding sites for amylolytic enzymes were also found in the thermostable pullulanase and the thermolabile enzyme. 相似文献

Starch debranching enzyme was purified from mung bean ( Vigna radiata ) cotyledons to investigate its properties and developmental pattern during and following germination. A debranching enzyme was purified up to the step where only a doublet of polypeptides with molecular masses of 99 and 101 kDa, respectively, was detected by SDS-PAGE. The enzyme is thought to be a single chain monomer, as the molecular mass of the enzyme determined by gel filtration was 72 kDa. Monoclonal antibodies raised against the purified preparation recognized the doublet, indicating that the two polypeptides have immunological homology to each other. The enzyme preparation showed a high activity with pullulan as a substrate, low activity with soluble starch and amylopectin, and no activity with glycogen. These substrate specificities indicate that the debranching enzyme from mung bean cotyledons is of the pullulanase type. Immunoblotting profiles revealed that the enzyme is present in dry seeds and decreases gradually after imbibition, suggesting the possibility that the pullulanase plays a role in developing mung bean cotyledons. 相似文献

We have cloned a pullulanase gene from Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron. The pullulanase expressed from this clone in Escherichia coli was cell associated and soluble and had a molecular mass of 72 kilodaltons by gel filtration. Maxicell analysis of proteins coded by the cloned insert showed that a 71.6- to 73.2-kilodalton doublet was associated with pullulanase activity. Thus, the pullulanase is probably a monomer. The cloned pullulanase produced maltotriose as an end product of pullulan digestion. In B. thetaiotaomicron the pullulanase activity was cell associated. Approximately 80% of the activity was soluble, and 16 to 18% was membrane associated. The molecular mass of the soluble pullulanase was 77 kilodaltons by gel filtration. To determine whether the cloned pullulanase gene was essential for pullulan utilization, we used directed insertional mutagenesis to inactivate the B. thetaiotaomicron pullulanase gene. The pullulanase specific activity of the mutant was approximately 45% of that of wild-type B. thetaiotaomicron. However, the pullulanase-negative insertional mutant 95-1 was still able to grow on pullulan at a rate similar to that of wild-type B. thetaiotaomicron. Thus, there must be a second pullulanase in B. thetaiotaomicron. 相似文献

Pullulanase (EC 3.2.1.41) in non-germinating seeds was compared with that in germinating seeds. Moreover, pullulanase from the endosperm of rice (Oryza sativa L., cv. Hinohikari) seeds was isolated and its properties investigated. The pI value of pullulanase from seeds after 8 days of germination was almost equal to that from non-germinating seeds, which shows that these two enzymes are the same protein. Therefore, the same pullulanase may play roles in both starch synthesis during ripening and starch degradation during germination in rice seeds. The enzyme was isolated by a procedure that included ammonium sulfate fractionation, DEAE-cellulofine column chromatography, preparative isoelectric focusing, and preparative disc gel electrophoresis. The enzyme was homogeneous by SDS/PAGE. The molecular weight of the enzyme was estimated to be 100 000 based on its mobility on SDS/PAGE and 105 000 based on gel filtration with TSKgel super SW 3000, which showed that it was composed of a single unit. The isoelectric point of the enzyme was 4.7. The enzyme was strongly inhibited by beta-cyclodextrin. The enzyme was not activated by thiol reagents such as dithiothreitol, 2-mercaptoethanol or glutathione. The enzyme most preferably hydrolyzed pullulan and liberated only maltotriose. The pullulan hydrolysis was strongly inhibited by the substrate at a concentration higher than 0.1%. The degree of inhibition increased with an increase in the concentration of pullulan. However, the enzyme hydrolyzed amylopectin, soluble starch and beta-limit dextrin more rapidly as their concentrations increased. The enzyme exhibited alpha-glucosyltransfer activity and produced an alpha-1,6-linked compound of two maltotriose molecules from pullulan. 相似文献

The expressed gene (pul) for a thermostable pullulanase from Clostridium thermohydrosulfuricum was cloned into Escherichia coli. The enzyme was purified from cell extracts of E. coli by thermoinactivation, ammonium sulphate precipitation and gel exclusion. The purified enzyme was characterized as monomer with both pullulanase and glucoamylase activities. The general physico-chemical and catalytic properties of this enzyme were obtained. In particular, pullulanase and glucoamylase activities were stable and optimally active at 65 degrees C. The pH optimum for activity was 5.8. The amino acid composition and amino acid sequence of N-terminal end were estimated. 相似文献

Intracellular pullulanase was entirely extracted with sodium dodecylsulfate from the cells and was purified by means of ammonium sulfate fractionation and DEAE-cellulose and Sephadex chromatography. Crystalline pullulanase was precipitated with saturated ammonium sulfate solution. Intracellular pullulanase was purified over 150 fold in 17% yield to a final specific activity of 7000 per mg protein from the enzyme solution obtained by SDS-extraction. On ultracentrifugation analysis, the enzyme showed a symmetrical peak. The sedimentation coefficient, s20, w was 6.29 S. Polyacrylamide disc electrophoresis gave a main band and a sub-band, and both showed activity. Molecular weight of intracellular pullulanase was estimated to be (8±1) × 10,000 from gel filtration with Sephadex G-200 and to be (9±1) × 10,000 from sedimentation equilibrium. These values were higher than that (6~7 × 10,000) of extracellular pullulanase. Both enzymes differed slightly in thermal- and pH-stabilities. 相似文献

Extremely thermophilic anaerobic fermentative bacteria growing at temperatures between 50 and 80(deg)C (optimum, 65 to 70(deg)C) were isolated from mud samples collected at Abano Terme spa (Italy). The cells were gram-negative motile rods, about 1.8 (mu)m in length and 0.6 (mu)m in width, occurring singly and in pairs. Cells commonly formed spheroids at one end similar to Fervidobacterium islandicum and Fervidobacterium nodosum. The new isolate differs from F. nodosum by the 7% higher G+C content of its DNA (40.6 mol%) but is similar to Fervidobacterium pennavorans and F. islandicum in its G+C content and phenotypic properties. The phylogenetic dendrogram indicates that strain Ven5 belongs to the order Thermotogales and shows the highest 16S ribosomal DNA sequence similarity to F. pennavorans, F. islandicum, and F. nodosum, with similarities of 99.0, 98.6, and 96.0%, respectively. During growth on starch the strain produced a thermostable pullulanase of type I which preferentially hydrolyzed (alpha)-1,6 glucosidic linkages. The enzyme was purified 65-fold by anion-exchange, gel permeation, and hydrophobic chromatography. The native pullulanase has a molecular mass of 240,000 Da and is composed of three subunits, each with a molecular mass of 77,600 Da as determined by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Optimal conditions for the activity and stability of the purified pullulanase were pH 6.0 and 85(deg)C. At pH 6.0, the half-life of the enzyme was over 2 h at 80(deg)C and 5 min at 90(deg)C. This is the first report on the presence of pullulanase type I in an anaerobic bacterium. 相似文献

Klebsiella pullulanase is a lipoprotein synthesized as a precursor with a signal peptide, which is processed by lipoprotein signal peptidase. To clarify the role of lipid modification of pullulanase, we purified lipid-modified wild-type and the unmodified (mutant) pullulanases and compared their properties. The Km and Vmax values of both pullulanases for pullulan were the same. The optimal pH and temperature, the stabilities over pH and temperature ranges, the specificity of substrates, and the patterns of inhibition of the lipid-modified and unmodified pullulanases were also the same. However, we found that the wild-type pullulanase formed trimers whereas the unmodified enzyme did not, and that the migrations of the two enzymes on sodium dodecyl sulphate/electrophoresis were different when the samples were applied on the gel without heating. The results presented in this paper and in previous work show that the correct processing and translocation of pullulanase in K. aerogenes require modification of lipid. However, the enzymatic properties and physical stabilities of pullulanase were not affected by the lipid modification. 相似文献

A thermophilic Bacillus sp. strain AN-7, isolated from a soil in India, produced an extracellular pullulanase upon growth on starch–peptone medium. The enzyme was purified to homogeneity by ammonium sulfate precipitation, anion exchange and gel filtration chromatography. The optimum temperature and pH for activity was 90 °C and 6.0. With half-life time longer than one day at 80 °C the enzyme proves to be thermostable in the pH range 4.5–7.0. The pullulanase from Bacillus strain lost activity rapidly when incubated at temperature higher than 105 °C or at pH lower than 4.5. Pullulanase was completely inhibited by the Hg2+ ions. Ca2+, dithiothreitol, and Mn2+ stimulated the pullulanase activity. Kinetic experiments at 80 °C and pH 6.0 gave Vmax and Km values of 154 U mg−1 and 1.3 mg ml−1. The products of pullulan were maltotriose and maltose. This proved that the purified pullulanase (pullulan-6-glucanohydrolase, EC 3.2.1.41) from Bacillus sp. AN-7 is classified under pullulanase type I. To our knowledge, this Bacillus pullulanase is the most highly thermostable type I pullulanase known to date. 相似文献

Extracellular pullulanase was purified and crystallized from the culture fluid of Aerobacter aerogenes. Pullulanase was purified by means of ammonium sulfate fraction, DEAE-cellulose column chromatography and Sephadex column chromatography. Crystalline pullulanase was formed when saturated ammonium sulfate solution was added to the purified enzyme solution. The crystalline enzyme appeared as colorless fine rods. On ultracentrifugation analysis, the enzyme showed a single sharp and symmetrical Schlieren peak. The sedimentation coefficient, s20,w was 4.39S. Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis at pH 8.4 gave a main band with two sub-bands and the molecular weight of the main enzyme was estimated to be 66,000 from Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and to be 58,000 from sedimentation equilibrium. The optimum pH and temperature for the enzyme action were pH 6.5 and 50°C, respectively. 相似文献

The immobilization of pullulanase from Klebsiella pneumoniae by grafting was investigated. Pullulanase was linked after activation of alginate via a covalent bond between the amine groups of the enzyme and the carboxylic acid groups of alginate. The immobilization yield was 60%. The activity of free pullulanase and immobilized pullulanase was followed by the quantification of reducing ends by colorimetric assay and the determination of the molar masses of the hydrolyzed pullulan by SEC/MALS/DRI. Compared to free pullulanase, the kinetics is largely slowed. The evolution of the weight average molar mass of pullulan leading to high production of shorter oligosaccharides during hydrolysis is not the same as that obtained with free enzyme. Immobilized pullulanase retained 75% and 30% of its initial activity after 24 h and 14 days of incubation at 60°C, respectively while free pullulanase lost its activity after 5 h of hydrolysis at the same temperature. The kinetic parameters of immobilized pullulanase were also investigated by isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC). The affinity of immobilized enzyme to its substrate was reduced compared to the free pullulanase due to steric hindrance and chemical links. © 2015 American Institute of Chemical Engineers Biotechnol.

Molecular cloning and biochemical characterization of a heat-stable type I pullulanase from Thermotoga neapolitana 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

The gene encoding a type I pullulanase from the hyperthermophilic anaerobic bacterium Thermotoga neapolitana (pulA) was cloned in Escherichia coli and sequenced. The pulA gene from T. neapolitana showed 91.5% pairwise amino acid identity with pulA from Thermotoga maritima and contained the four regions conserved in all amylolytic enzymes. pulA encodes a protein of 843 amino acids with a 19-residue signal peptide. The pulA gene was subcloned and overexpressed in E. coli under the control of the T7 promoter. The purified recombinant enzyme (rPulA) produced a 93-kDa protein with pullulanase activity. rPulA was optimally active at pH 5-7 and 80°C and had a half-life of 88 min at 80°C. rPulA hydrolyzed pullulan, producing maltotriose, and hydrolytic activities were also detected with amylopectin, starch, and glycogen, but not with amylose. This substrate specificity is typical of a type I pullulanase. Thin layer chromatography of the reaction products in the reaction with pullulan and aesculin showed that the enzyme had transglycosylation activity. Analysis of the transfer product using NMR and isoamylase treatment revealed it to be α-maltotriosyl-(1,6)-aesculin, suggesting that the enzyme transferred the maltotriosyl residue of pullulan to aesculin by forming α-1,6-glucosidic linkages. Our findings suggest that the pullulanase from T. neapolitana is the first thermostable type I pullulanase which has α-1,6-transferring activity. 相似文献

1. A pullulanase has been separated from cell extracts of Streptococcus mitis. The enzyme was freed from transglucosylase by fractionation with ammonium sulphate. 2. Pullulanase was produced in the absence of inducers, and addition of glucose or maltose to the broth did not increase the yield of enzyme. 3. The pullulanase acted rapidly on alpha-(1-->6)-bonds in substrates having the structure alpha-maltodextrinyl-(1-->6)-maltodextrin, but had no action on isomaltose, 6-alpha-glucosylmaltodextrins or 6-alpha-maltodextrinylglucoses. 4. 6-alpha-Maltotriosylmaltodextrins were hydrolysed over 10 times faster than 6-alpha-maltosylmaltodextrins. 5. The branch linkages of amylopectin phosphorylase limit dextrin, glycogen phosphorylase limit dextrin and glycogen beta-amylase limit dextrin were hydrolysed. The action of pullulanase on amylopectin and glycogen was accompanied by a rise in the iodine stain of 50% and 30% respectively. 6. A reversal of pullulanase action occurred on incubation with high concentrations of maltotriose. Condensation of maltosyl units to form a branched tetrasaccharide occurred less readily. 7. S. mitis pullulanase was rapidly inactivated at temperatures higher than 40 degrees , and the enzyme did not recover activity on storage at room temperature. 相似文献

Summary Amyloglucosidase and pullulanase were co-immobilized using a hydrophilic polyurethane foam (Hypol® 2002). The combined amyloglucosidase and pullulanase activity of the immobilized enzyme was 32.2% ± 1.7% relative to the non-immobilized enzyme. The co-immobilized enzymes were capable of using a variety of glycogen and starch substrates. Co-immobilization of amyloglucosidase and pullulanase increased the glucose yield 1.6-fold over immobilized amyloglucosidase alone. No decrease in activity was observed after 4 months storage for the co-immobilized enzymes. The results suggest that co-immobilization of amyloglucosidase and pullulanase in polyurethane foams is a potentially useful approach for commercial starch hydrolysis.

In this paper we report identification, cloning and characterization of a novel thermostable pullulanase type I. Pullulanase AmyA1 was detected in a sample of extracellular proteins of thermophilic enrichment culture, growing on starch. The zone of enzymatic activity in zymogram was aligned with the corresponding band on the equivalent gel without substrate. The band was excised from SDS/polyacrylamide gel and subjected to liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC/MS) analysis. LC/MS-based analysis identified thermostable pullulanases, homologues to type I pullulanases of Geobacillus thermodenitrificans NG80-2 and Geobacillus sp. G11MC16. Nucleotide sequences of these two pullulanases were used for design of primers for PCR with DNA from enrichment culture, leaded to 2181 bp PCR product, coding a 726 amino acids protein, named pullulanase AmyA1. Molecular weight of AmyA1 was calculated to be 81.7 kDa. AmyA1 was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli. Recombinant pullulanase was purified by two chromatographic separation steps. Pullulanase AmyA1 was active against pullulan, glycogen and soluble starch. It was active in the temperature range of 4–95°C, optimum temperature was determined to be 60°C. The highest activity of the recombinant pullulanase was observed at pH 6. Divalent cations Mg2+ and Mn2+ as well as dithiothreitol, Brij 35 and Brij 58 had a stimulating effect on the enzymatic activity. Pullulanase AmyA1 was stable during incubation in the presence of 4 M urea. After removal of the His-tag, addition of Ca2+ stimulated activity of the enzyme suggesting the native pullulanase activity to be dependent on Ca2+. Thermostability of AmyA1 was not enhanced by the addition of Ca2+. 相似文献

The extracellular enzymatic activity of a mixed culture of anaerobic marine bacteria enriched on pullulan [alpha(1,6)-linked maltotriose units] was directly assessed with a combination of gel permeation chromatography (GPC) and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR). Hydrolysis products of pullulan were separated by GPC into three fractions with molecular weights of > or = 10,000, approximately 5,000, and < or = 1,200. NMR spectra of these fractions demonstrated that pullulan was rapidly and specifically hydrolyzed at alpha(1,6) linkages by pullulanase enzymes, most likely type II pullulanase. Although isolated pullulanase enzymes have been shown to hydrolyze pullulan completely to maltotriose (S. H. Brown, H. R. Costantino, and R. M. Kelly, Appl. Environ. Microbiol. 56:1985-1991, 1990; M. Klingeberg, H. Hippe, and G. Antranikian, FEMS Microbiol. Lett. 69:145-152, 1990; R. Koch, P. Zablowski, A. Spreinat, and G. Antranikian, FEMS Microbiol. Lett. 71:21-26, 1990), the smallest carbohydrate detected in the bacterial cultures consisted of two maltotriose units linked through one alpha(1,6) linkage. Either the final hydrolysis step was closely linked to substrate uptake, or specialized porins similar to maltoporin might permit direct transport of large oligosaccharides into the bacterial cell. This is the first report of pullulanase activity among mesophilic marine bacteria. The combination of GPC and NMR could easily be used to assess other types of extracellular enzyme activity in bacterial cultures. 相似文献

Starch degrading enzymes, viz., β-amylase, glucoamylase, and pullulanase, were purified using magnetite-alginate beads. In
each case, the enzyme activity was eluted by using 1.0 M maltose. β-Amylase (sweet potato), glucoamylase (Aspergillus niger), and pullulanase (Bacillus acidopullulyticus) from their crude preparations were purified 37-, 31-, and 49-fold with 86, 87, and 95% activity recovery, respectively.
Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis analysis showed single band in each case. 相似文献
