Recently it has been reported that Talaromyces emersonii CBS 814.70 is capable of growth on lactose containing media. During growth on such media large amounts of β-glucosidase are secreted into the medium. In addition, low levels of endoglucanase activity have been detected. In order to enhance endoglucanase production, u.v. irradiation and a modified selection procedure yielded a number of mutants. One of these, UV7, was capable of increased cellulase production during growth on cellulose, lactose and glucose containing media. Comparative studies between the wild-type organism and the mutant have shown that the former apparently produces constitutive levels of both endoglucanase and β-glucosidase. The form of β-glucosidase that appears to be constitutive is that form previously named BG-I. 相似文献

Commercially available lactase (beta-D-galactoside galactohydrolase, EC 3.2.1.23) enzymes produced from Kluyveromyces fragilis and Kluyveromyces lactis were accessed as catalysts for use in the production of beta-galactopyranosides of various alcohols using lactose as galactosyl donor. The yield of galactoside was enhanced by using the highest practical concentrations of both lactose and alcohol acceptor. The concentrations and thus yield, were limited by the solubility of the substrates. The increase in galactoside yield with increasing lactose concentration appeared to be specific to the lactose substrate and not due to water activity alterations, because addition of maltose to a fixed concentration of lactose had no effect. During the course of the reaction, the yield of galactoside peaked after around 70% to 80% of the lactose was consumed, due to hydrolysis of the product by the enzyme. A wide variety of compounds with primary or secondary hydroxyl groups could act as acceptors, the essential requirement being at least some water solubility. Addition of organic cosolvents had little effect on galactoside yield except when it increased the water solubility of sparingly soluble alcohols. Some galactosides were synthesized on a gram scale to determine practical product recoveries and improve purification methods for large-scale synthesis. Initial purification by hydrophobic chromatography (for galactosides of hydrophobic alcohols) or strong anion-exchange chromatography (for galactosides of hydrophilic alcohols) separated galactosides, galactobiosides, and higher oligomers from reducing sugars. A facile separation of the galactoside and galactobioside could then be effected by flash chromatography on silica gel. (c) 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 相似文献

The aguA gene encoding α-glucuronidase was isolated from the thermophilic fungus Talaromyces emersonii by degenerate PCR. AguA has no introns and consists of an open reading frame of 2511 bp, encoding a putative protein of 837 amino acids. The N-terminus of the protein contains a putative signal peptide of 17 amino acids yielding a mature protein of 820 amino acids with a predicted molecular mass of 91.6 kDa. Twenty putative N-glycosylation sites and four O-glycosylation were identified. The T. emersonii α-glucuronidase falls into glycosyl hydrolase family 67, showing approximately 63% identity to similar enzymes from other fungi. Analysis of the aguA promoter revealed several possible regulatory motifs including two XlnR and a CreA binding site. Enzyme activity was optimal at 50 °C and pH 5. Enzyme production was investigated on a range of carbon sources and showed induction on beechwood, oat spelt and birchwood xylan, and repression by glucose or glucuronic acid. 相似文献

This paper reports regulation of cellulase production in two thermophilic fungi, Melanocarpus sp. MTCC 3922 and Scytalidium thermophilum MTCC 4520. The expression of endoglucanase (EG), avicel adsorbable endoglucanase (AAEG) and β-glucosidase in both fungi was inducible. Of the different carbon sources tested, rice straw induced maximal levels of cellulase in both fungi. While, the addition of fructose (1%, w/v) to the carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) medium resulted in two-fold increase in endoglucanase production in Melanocarpus sp., however, the addition of ethanol (1%, v/v) resulted in eight-fold-increased expression of endoglucanase in S. thermophilum. The expression profiles of different components of cellulase complex were shown to be co-regulated in S. thermophilum but independently regulated in Melanocarpus sp. 相似文献

The present study explores the efficiency of Talaromyces thermophilus β-xylosidase, in the production of xylose and xylooligosaccharides. The β-xylosidase was immobilized by different methods namely ionic binding, entrapment and covalent coupling and using various carriers. Chitosan, pre-treated with glutaraldehyde, was selected as the best support material for β-xylosidase immobilization; it gave the highest immobilization and activity yields (94%, 87%, respectively) of initial activity, and also provided the highest stability, retaining 94% of its initial activity even after being recycled 25 times. Shifts in the optimal temperature and pH were observed for the immobilized β-xylosidase when compared to the free enzyme. The maximal activity obtained for the immobilized enzyme was achieved at pH 8.0 and 53 °C, whereas that for the free enzyme was obtained at pH 7.0 and 50 °C. The immobilized enzyme was more thermostable than the free β-xylosidase. We observed an increase of the Km values of the free enzyme from 2.37 to 3.42 mM at the immobilized state. Native and immobilized β-xylosidase were found to be stimulated by Ca 2+, Mn 2+ and Co 2+ and to be inhibited by Zn 2+, Cu 2+, Hg 2+, Fe 2+, EDTA and SDS. Immobilized enzyme was found to catalyze the reverse hydrolysis reaction, forming xylooligosaccharides in the presence of a high concentration of xylose. In order to examine the synergistic action of xylanase and β-xylosidase of T. thermophilus, these two enzymes were co-immobilized on chitosan. A continuous hydrolysis of 3% Oat spelt xylan at 50 °C was performed and better hydrolysis yields and higher amount of xylose was obtained. 相似文献

The use of charged peptides fused to enzymes for immobilization onto ion-exchange membranes was explored for the enzyme x-galactosidase. The additional charged peptides, containing 1, 5, 11, and 16 aspartates, fused to x-galactosidase, for the most part did not interfere with the kinetic behavior for lactose hydrolysis. There was a 2-fold decline in V(m) for the 16-aspartate fusion, but the others were quite similar to the wild type enzyme (BGWT). BGWT and the fusions all retained approximately 50% of their activities when adsorbed onto ion-exchange membranes. In contrast to BGWT, the enhanced binding strength of the 11 aspartate fusion provided the ability to hydrolyze whey permeate at 0.3 M ionic strength without enzyme leakage, and to immobilize the enzyme directly from diluted cell extract with 83% purity.

A protocol is described for simultaneous histochemical detection of LacZ and Gus activity in plant tissues after microprojectile bombardment. The suitability of two different Gus substrates (Salmon-glcA, Magenta-β-
-glcA) is compared. This detection system is used to assay the number of cells expressing either or both reporter gene. This technique is used as a qualitative assay to demonstrate the tissue specificity of a Hrgp promoter in maize embryos, and to measure ABA responsiveness of a Lea promoter in Arabidopsis. The promoter to be studied is linked to the gus reporter gene and the lacZ reporter gene linked to the CaMV 35S promoter is used as a constitutive internal control. The use of an internal control drastically reduces the data variation inherent to microprojectile bombardment. 相似文献

A mathematic model for describing the Michaelis-Menten-type reaction kinetics with product competitive inhibition and side-reaction is proposed. A multiresponse nonlinear simulation program was employed to determine the coefficients of a four-parameter rate expression. The rate expression was compared with the conventional Michaelis-Menten reaction rate models with and without product inhibition. Experimental data were obtained using beta-galactosidase of Kluyveromyces lactis immobilized on cotton fabric in a batch system at a temperature of 37 degrees C and at various initial concentrations of dissolved lactose ranging from 3-12.5% (w/v). The reaction is followed by concentration changes with time in the tank. Samples were obtained after the outlet stream of the packed bed reactor is mixed in a well-stirred tank. High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was applied to monitor the concentrations of all the sugars (reactants as well as products). The four-parameter rate model is featured with a term to describe the formation of trisaccharides, a side-reaction of the enzymatic hydrolysis. The proposed model simulates the process of lactose hydrolysis and the formation of glucose and galactose, giving better accuracy compared with the previous models. 相似文献

The microplasmodia of Physarum polycephalum express three types of β-glucosidases: secretory enzyme, a soluble cytoplasmic enzyme and a membrane-bound enzyme. We are interested in the physiological role of three enzymes. We report the sequence of cDNA for membrane β-glucosidase 1, which consists of 3825 nucleotides that includes an open reading frame encoding 1248 amino acids. The molecular weight of membrane β-glucosidase 1 was calculated to be 131,843 based on the predicted amino acid composition. Glycosyl hydrolase family 3 N-terminal and C-terminal domains were found within the N-terminal half of the membrane β-glucosidase 1 sequence and were highly homologous with the primary structures of fungal β-glucosidases. Notably, the C-terminal half of membrane β-glucosidase 1 contains two calx-β motifs, which are known to be Ca 2+ binding domains in the Drosophila Na +/Ca 2+ exchanger; an RGD sequence, which is known to be a cell attachment sequence; and a transmembrane region. In this way, Physarum membrane β-glucosidase 1 differs from all previously identified family 3 β-glucosidases. In addition to cDNA for membrane β-glucosidase 1, two other distinctly different mRNAs were also isolated. Two sequences were largely identical to cDNA for membrane β-glucosidase 1, but included a long insert sequence having a stop codon, leading to truncation of their products, which could account for other β-glucosidase forms occurred in Physarum poycephalum. Thus, the membrane β-glucosidase is a new type family 3 enzyme fused with the Calx-β domain. We propose that Calx-β domain may modulate the β-glucosidase activity in response to changes in the Ca2+ concentration. 相似文献

The production of galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS) from lactose by A. oryzae beta-galactosidase immobilized on cotton cloth was studied. The total amounts and types of GOS produced were mainly affected by the initial lactose concentration in the reaction media. In general, more and larger GOS can be produced with higher initial lactose concentrations. A maximum GOS production of 27% (w/w) of initial lactose was achieved at 50% lactose conversion with 500 g/L of initial lactose concentration. Tri-saccharides were the major types of GOS formed, accounting for more than 70% of the total GOS produced in the reactions. Temperature and pH affected the reaction rate, but did not result in any changes in GOS formation. The presence of galactose and glucose at the concentrations encountered near maximum GOS greatly inhibited the reactions and reduced GOS yield by as much as 15%. The cotton cloth as the support matrix for enzyme immobilization did not affect the GOS formation characteristics of the enzyme, suggesting no diffusion limitation in the enzyme carrier. The thermal stability of the enzyme increased approximately 25-fold upon immobilization on cotton cloth. The half-life for the immobilized enzyme on cotton cloth was more than 1 year at 40 degrees C and 48 days at 50 degrees C. Stable, continuous operation in a plugflow reactor was demonstrated for 2 weeks without any apparent problem. A maximum GOS production of 21 and 26% (w/w) of total sugars was attained with a feed solution containing 200 and 400 g/L of lactose, respectively, at pH 4.5 and 40 degrees C. The corresponding reactor productivities were 80 and 106 g/L/h, respectively, which are at least several-fold higher than those previously reported. 相似文献

The effect of the growth of temperature, pH, carbon source, nitrogen supplementation and inoculum size were examined in shake-flask-scale studies to determine the optimum conditions for β-glucosidases production by Sporotrichum (Chrysosporium) thermophile. Wheat bran and sugar-beet pulp were selected as the best carbon sources and (NH 4) 2SO 4, NH 4Cl and KNO 3 as the best nitrogen supplementation. Ten liter fermentations were carried out to study the kinetics of product formation. It was found that S. thermophile is able to produce high thermostable extracellular cellobiase and aryl-β-glucosidase. Very high aryl-β-glucosidase (PNPG) activities in the range from 30 to 40 U ml −1 and cellobiase activities of 2,45 U ml −1 in the 3-day batch fermentations were obtained. The Km for aryl-β-glucosidase and its thermal properties were also estimated. 相似文献

Numerous cell types, including fibroblasts, vascular smooth muscle cells, chondroblasts, monocytes, neutrophils, and several tumor cells express the 67-kD galactolectin, homologous to the alternatively spliced variant of β-galactosidase. The 67-kD protein resides on the cell surfaces and is capable of interacting with elastin, laminin and collagen type IV. This peripheral membrane protein binds its matrix ligands but only in the absence of galactosugars, whereas binding of galactosugar-containing moieties to its lectin site changes its molecular folding which causes discharge of the ligand and release of the receptor from the cell surface. This review will address the functional significance of the single receptor that interacts with multiple matrix proteins and can be shed from cell surfaces by galactosugars. I will emphasize the role of the 67-kD protein in divergent cellular processes, such as cell-matrix attachment, matrix assembly, cellular chemotaxis, and active migration through the vascular walls. 相似文献

The kinetics of β-fructofuranosidase (Ffase) production by Aspergillus niger in submerged (SmF) and solid-state fermentation (SSF) systems was investigated. The maximum productivity of Ffase (81.8 U/l per h) was obtained in SSF for 72 h while it was 18.3 U/l per h in SmF for 120 h. The productivity of extra cellular Ffase produced in SSF was 5-fold higher than in SmF. Optimization of fermentation medium for Ffase production was carried out using De Meo's fractional factorial design with seven components such as (NH 4) 2SO 4, KH 2PO 4, FeSO 4, MgSO 4 · 7H 2O, sucrose, urea and yeast extract. The media designed for SmF after two steps of optimization supported the growth of A. niger and higher productivity of Ffase (58.3 U/l per h) than with the medium before optimization. The optimized medium of SmF when used in SSF, did not improve the Ffase productivity and therefore medium for SSF was optimized independent of SmF. After two optimization steps, the media was defined for SSF which supported the growth and high level of Ffase productivity (149.1 U/l per h) in SSF compared to the medium before optimization (81.8 U/l per h) and optimized medium for SmF (58.3 U/l per h). Our results suggested that the optimized media for SmF and SSF for the production of Ffase have to be different. 相似文献

The biochemical conversion of cellulosic biomass to ethanol, a promising alternative fuel, can be carried out efficiently and economically using the simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) process. The SSF integrates the enzymatic hydrolysis of cellulose to glucose, catalyzed by the synergistic action of cellulase and beta-glucosidase, with the fermentative synthesis of ethanol. Because the enzymatic step determines the ethanol. Because the enzymatic step determines the availability of glucose to the ethanologenic fermentation, the kinetic of cellulose hydrolysis by cellulase and beta-glucosidase and the susceptibility of the two enzymes to inhibition by hydrolysis and fermentation products are of significant importance to the SSF performance and were investigated under realistic SSF conditions. A previously developed SSF mathematical model was used to conceptualize the depolymerization of cellulose. The model was regressed to the collected data to determine the values of the enzyme parameters and was found to satisfactorily predict the kinetics of cellulose hydrolysis. Cellobiose and glucose were identified as the strongest inhibitors of cellulase and beta-glucosidase, respectively. Experimental and modeling results are presented in light of the impact of enzymatic hydrolysis on fuel ethanol production. (c) 1993 Wiley & Sons, Inc. 相似文献

Human β-defensin-2 (hBD2) is a short cationic peptide with a broad antimicrobial spectrum. The coding sequence of hBD2 was cloned into pET-32a (+) to construct a fusion expression plasmid, pET32–hBD2, which was transformed into E. coli BL21 (DE3) for expression. The cultivation parameters of the expression vector harboring strain were optimized to produce the fusion protein in soluble form efficiently and to avoid the formation of insoluble inclusion bodies. The optimal conditions were determined as following: cultivation at 28 °C in MBL medium, induction at middle stage of exponential growth with 0.8 mM IPTG, and post-induction expression for 8 h. Under the above conditions, a high percentage of the target fusion protein (≥92.3%) was expressed in soluble form and the volumetric productivity of soluble fusion protein reached 1.3 g/l. The culture process was successfully scaled up in a 10 l bench-top fermentor. 相似文献

Heating of Aspergillus β-xylosidase at 85°C ± 1°C and pH 5.5–6.0 (optimum for activity), causes irreversible, covalent thermoinactivation of the enzyme, involving oxidation of the thiol groups that are required for catalysis. Exogenous addition of cysteine, DTT, GSH and mercaptoethanol stabilizes the enzyme by extending its half-life. A similar effect is also exhibited by bivalent cations like Mg 2+, Mn 2+, Co 2+, Ca 2+and Zn 2+ while, on the other hand Cu 2+ accelerates thermoinactivation. Chemical modification of crude β-xylosidase with cross-linking agents like glutaraldehyde or covalent immobilization to a nonspecific protein like gelatin and BSA also enhances enzyme thermostability. These results suggest that addition of thiols and bivalent metal ions to a crude β-xylosidase preparation or immobilization/chemical modification enhances its thermal stability, thus preventing loss of catalytic activity at elevated temperatures. 相似文献

Media optimisation was attempted for β-glucuronidase production from a newly and locally isolated (Oxfordshire, UK) fungal strain of Ganoderma applanatum. Both fungal growth and β-glucuronidase activity were found to be greatly affected by varying the carbon or the nitrogen source with gum arabic and yeast extracts being the best carbon and nitrogen sources, respectively. Their concentrations were optimised at 8 g L −1 for the former and 2 g L −1 for the latter. Work then proceeded to enhance the yield of β-glucuronidase in a controlled environment. Control, batch and fed-batch cultivations were performed in 2-L bioreactors using the optimised medium supplemented with cellobiuronic acid as inducer. Time profiles of biomass dry weight, carbohydrate consumption and β-glucuronidase production were obtained and the results showed that production of β-glucuronidase was noticeably increased by the addition of cellobiuronic acid in both batch and fed-batch fermentations. Although the addition did not produce a variation in the pattern of growth seen between control, and induced fermenters, higher levels of the enzyme were attained when adopting a fed-batch process with 1.09 U mL−1 of culture, corresponding to a 5-fold enhancement in β-glucuronidase production rate compared with batch fermentation. 相似文献
