Glycoside hydrolases form hyperthermophilic archaea are interesting model systems for the study of catalysis at high temperatures
and, at the moment, their detailed enzymological characterization is the only approach to define their role in vivo. Family
29 of glycoside hydrolases classification groups α-l-fucosidases involved in a variety of biological events in Bacteria and Eukarya. In Archaea the first α-l-fucosidase was identified in Sulfolobus solfataricus as interrupted gene expressed by programmed −1 frameshifting. In this review, we describe the identification of the catalytic
residues of the archaeal enzyme, by means of the chemical rescue strategy. The intrinsic stability of the hyperthermophilic
enzyme allowed the use of this method, which resulted of general applicability for β and α glycoside hydrolases. In addition,
the presence in the active site of the archaeal enzyme of a triad of catalytic residues is a rather uncommon feature among
the glycoside hydrolases and suggested that in family 29 slightly different catalytic machineries coexist. 相似文献

In this study, the production of extracellular thermostable α-amylase by newly isolated thermophilic Alicyclobacillus acidocaldarius was detected on LB agar plates containing 1.0% soluble potato starch and incubated at 60°C. This extracellular α-amylase
was purified to homogeneity by ammonium sulphate precipitation followed by Sephadex and ion-exchange chromatography. The α-amylase
was purified to 8.138 fold homogeneity with a final recovery of 58% and a specific activity of 3,239 U/mg proteins. The purified
α-amylase appeared as a single protein band on SDS-PAGE with a molecular mass of 94.5 kDa. Non-denaturing PAGE analysis showed
one major band associated with enzyme activity, indicating the absence of isoenzymes. A TLC analysis showed maltose as major
end product of the enzyme. The optimum assay temperature and pH for enzyme activity were 60°C and 6.0 respectively; however,
the enzyme activity was stable over a wide range of pH and temperatures. The α-amylase retained its activity in the presence
of the denaturing agents — SDS, Triton X-100, Tween-20, Tween-80, and was significantly inhibited by EDTA and urea. Calcium
ions increased the enzyme activity, while Hg2+, Zn2+, and Co2+ had inhibitory effects. The K
m and V
max values were found to be 2.9 mg/mL and 7936 U/mL respectively. 相似文献

Thermomonospora fusca produced a relatively high level of alpha-L-arabinofuranosidase when growing on oat spelt xylan as the main carbon and energy source. The enzyme exhibited maximum relative activity (0.136 U/g protein) at pH 9.0 with 54 and 55% activity remaining at pH of 4.5 and 11.0, respectively. The apparent Km value for the crude alpha-L-arabinofuranosidase preparation was 180 mumol/L 4-nitrophenyl alpha-L-arabinofuranoside; the upsilon lim value was the release of 40 mumol/L 4-nitrophenol per min. Enzyme activity was eluted as a single peak (HPLC gel filtration chromatography) corresponding to molar mass of approximately 92 kDa. Native electrophoresis of crude cell lysate confirmed the presence of a single active intracellular alpha-L-arabinofuranosidase component. SDS-PAGE of this enzyme, developed as zymogram, did not demonstrate any activity; denaturing gel was stained and a protein band of relative molar mass of 46 kDa was revealed. Isoelectric focusing of a purified alpha-L-arabinofuranosidase yielded a single protein band for the corresponding activity zone with pI 7.9. The enzyme was purified approximately 21-fold the mean overall yield was about 16%. 相似文献

The thermophilic fungus Scytalidium thermophilum produced large amounts of periplasmic -D-xylosidase activity when grown on xylan as carbon source. The presence of glucose in the fresh culture medium drastically reduced the level of -D-xylosidase activity, while cycloheximide prevented induction of the enzyme by xylan. The mycelial -xylosidase induced by xylan was purified using a procedure that included heating at 50°C, ammonium sulfate fractioning (30–75%), and chromatography on Sephadex G-100 and DEAE-Sephadex A-50. The purified -D-xylosidase is a monomer with an estimated molecular mass of 45 kDa (SDS-PAGE) or 38 kDa (gel filtration). The enzyme is a neutral protein (pI 7.1), with a carbohydrate content of 12% and optima of temperature and pH of 60°C and 5.0, respectively. -D-Xylosidase activity is strongly stimulated and protected against heat inactivation by calcium ions. In the absence of substrate, the enzyme is stable for 1 h at 60°C and has half-lives of 11 and 30 min at 65°C in the absence or presence of calcium, respectively. The purified -D-xylosidase hydrolyzed p-nitrophenol--D-xylopyranoside and p-nitrophenol--D-glucopyranoside, exhibiting apparent Km and Vmax values of 1.3 mM, 88 mol min–1 protein–1 and 0.5 mM, 20 mol min–1 protein–1, respectively. The purified enzyme hydrolyzed xylobiose, xylotriose, and xylotetraose, and is therefore a true -D-xylosidase. Enzyme activity was completely insensitive to xylose, which inhibits most -xylosidases, at concentrations up to 200 mM. Its thermal stability and high xylose tolerance qualify this enzyme for industrial applications. The high tolerance of S. thermophilum -xylosidase to xylose inhibition is a positive characteristic that distinguishes this enzyme from all others described in the literature. 相似文献

Penicillium ulaiense is a post-harvest pathogenic fungus that attacks citrus fruits. The objective of this work was to study this microorganism
as an α-l-rhamnosidase producer and to characterize it from P. ulaiense. The enzyme under study is used for different applications in food and beverage industries. α-l-Rhamnosidase was produced in a stirred-batch reactor using rhamnose as the main carbon source. The kinetic parameters for
the growth of the fungi and for the enzyme production were calculated from the experimental values. A method for partial purification,
including (NH4)2SO4 precipitation, incubation at pH 12 and DEAE-sepharose chromatography yielded an enzyme with very low β-glucosidase activity.
The pH and temperature optima were 5.0 and 60°C, respectively. The Michaelis–Menten constants for the hydrolysis of p-nitrophenyl-α-l-rhamnoside were V
max = 26 ± 4 IU ml−1 and K
m
= 11 ± 2 mM. The enzyme showed good thermostability up to 60°C and good operational stability in white wine. Co2+ affected positively the activity; EDTA, Mn2+, Mg2+, dithiotreitol and Cu2+ reduced the activity by different amounts, and Hg2+ completely inhibited the enzyme. The enzyme showed more activity on p-nitrophenyl-α-l-rhamnoside than on naringin. According to these results, this enzyme has potential for use in the food and pharmacy industries
since P. ulaiense does not produce mycotoxins. 相似文献

A glycosyl hydrolase family 54 (GH54) α-l-arabinofuranosidase gene (abfA) of Aureobasidium pullulans was amplified by polymerase chain reaction from genomic DNA and a 498-amino-acid open reading frame deduced from the DNA
sequence. Modeling of the highly conserved A. pullulans AbfA protein sequence on the crystal structure of Aspergillus kawachii AkabfB showed that the catalytic amino acid arrangement and overall structure were highly similar including the N-terminal
catalytic and C-terminal arabinose binding domains. The abfA gene was expressed in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and the heterologous enzyme was purified. The protein was monomeric, migrating at 49 kDa on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide
gel electrophoresis and eluting at 36 kDa upon gel filtration. AbfA showed maximal activity at 55°C and between pH 3.5 and
pH 4. The enzyme had a K
m value for p-nitrophenyl-α-l-arabinofuranoside of 3.7 mM and a V
max of 34.8 μmol min−1 mg protein−1. Arabinose acted as a noncompetitive inhibitor with a K
i of 38.4 mM. The enzyme released arabinose from maize fiber, oat spelt arabinoxylan, and wheat arabinoxylan, but not from
larch wood arabinogalactan or α-1,5-debranched arabinan. AbfA displayed low activity against α-1,5-l-arabino-oligosaccharides. The enzyme acted synergistically with endo-β-1,4-xylanase in the breakdown of wheat arabinoxylan. Binding of AbfA to xylan from several sources confirmed the presence
of a functional carbohydrate-binding module.

A hyperthermostable glycoside hydrolase family 51 (GH51) α-l-arabinofuranosidase from Thermotoga petrophila RKU-1 (TpAraF) was cloned, overexpressed, purified and characterized. The recombinant enzyme had optimum activity at pH 6.0
and 70°C with linear α-1,5-linked arabinoheptaose as substrate. The substrate cleavage pattern monitored by capillary zone
electrophoresis showed that TpAraF is a classical exo-acting enzyme producing arabinose as its end-product. Far-UV circular
dichroism analysis displayed a typical spectrum of α/β barrel proteins analogously observed for other GH51 α-l-arabinofuranosidases. Moreover, TpAraF was crystallized in two crystalline forms, which can be used to determine its crystallographic
structure. 相似文献

A recombinant putative glycoside hydrolase from Caldicellulosiruptor saccharolyticus was purified with a specific activity of 12 U mg−1 by heat treatment and His-Trap affinity chromatography, and identified as a single 56 kDa band upon SDS-PAGE. The native
enzyme is a dimer with a molecular mass of 112 kDa as determined by gel filtration. The enzyme exhibited its highest activity
when debranched arabinan (1,5-α-l-arabinan) was used as the substrate, demonstrating that the enzyme was an endo-1,5-α-l-arabinanase. The K
m, k
cat, and k
cat/K
m values were 18 mg ml−1, 50 s−1, and a 2.8 mg ml−1 s−1, respectively. Maximum enzyme activity was at pH 6.5 and 75°C. The half-lives of the enzyme at 65, 70 and 75°C were 2440,
254 and 93 h, respectively, indicating that it is the most thermostable of the known endo-1,5-α-l-arabinanases. 相似文献

A lectin present in seeds of Clitoria ternatea agglutinated trypsin-treated human B erythrocytes. The sugar specificity assay indicated that lectin belongs to Gal/Gal NAc-specific
group. Hence the lectin, designated C. ternatea agglutinin (CTA), was purified by the combination of acetic acid precipitation, salt fractionation and affinity chromatography.
HPLC gel filtration, SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and mass spectrometry indicated that the native lectin is composed
of two identical subunits of molecular weight 34.7 kDa associated by non covalent bonds. The N-terminal sequence of CTA shared
homology with Glycine max and Pisum sativum. Complete sequence was also found to be homologous to S-64 protein of Glycine max, suggesting that CTA probably exhibits both hemagglutination and probably sugar uptake activity. The carbohydrate binding
specificity of the lectin was investigated by quantitative turbidity measurements, and percent inhibition assays. Based on
these assays, we conclude that CTA binds β-d-galactosides, and also may has an extended specificity towards non-reducing terminal Neu5Acα2,6Gal. 相似文献

A gene (arf) encoding an α-l-arabinofuranosidase (ARF) that hydrolyzes arabinose substituted on xylan was isolated from Penicillium sp. The gene was predicted to encode 339 amino acid residues showing 71–75% homology to GH family 54. E. coli expressed ARF showed optimal activity at 50°C and pH 5–6 on wheat arabinoxylan. The hydrolysis activities on oat spelt xylan
by ARF and xylanase were 1.67-fold higher than that of xylanase alone. The synergistic effects of ARF and commercial enzymes
(xylanase and cellulase) on popping-pretreated rice straw were 1.15–1.51-fold higher amounts of sugars released in the [ARF + xylanase + cellulase]
mixture than in the mixtures [ARF + xylanase], [ARF + cellulase], and [xylanase + cellulase]. Moreover, the liberation of
arabinose by ARF was enhanced 2.1–2.9-fold in a reaction with xylanase and cellulase as compared with [xylanase + cellulase]
and ARF alone. 相似文献

l-β-Haloalanines are physiologically active unnatural amino acids and they are useful intermediates for the synthesis of natural
and unnatural amino acids, S-linked glycopeptides, and lanthionines. In general l-β-haloalanines were prepared predominantly from l-serine via functional group transformation. Here we reported an alternative approach for the preparation of l-β-haloalanines via halogenation of protected l-cysteine esters which was obtained from l-cysteine or l-cystine, respectively. The mercapto group of protected l-cysteine esters was efficiently transformed to halo groups by triphenylphosphine/N-halosuccinimides. It has been proved to be a versatile desulfurization strategy via this functional group transformation. 相似文献

A set of filamentous fungi (42 strains) was screened for alpha-N-acetylgalactosaminidase activity, and a series of inducers and different cultivation conditions were tested. Enzyme production by the best producer Aspergillus niger CCIM K2 was optimized and scaled up. alpha-N-Acetylgalactosaminidase was purified to apparent homogeneity by cation exchange chromatography, gel filtration, and chromatofocusing, and basic biochemical data of the enzyme were determined: The native molecular weight was estimated by gel filtration to be approximately 440 kDa, the molecular weight of the subunit was determined to be 76 kDa and the pI = 4.8. The K (M) was 0.73 mmol/l for o-nitrophenyl 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-alpha-D-galactopyranoside (o-NP-alpha-GalNAc), and optimum enzyme activity was achieved at pH 1.8 and 55 degrees C. This alpha-N-acetylgalactosaminidase is a retaining-type glycosidase, and it was N-deglycosylated without any loss of activity. 相似文献

This study presents data on the production, purification, and properties of a thermostable β-xylanase produced by an Aspergillus awamori 2B.361 U2/1 submerged culture using wheat bran as carbon source. Fractionation of the culture filtrate by membrane ultrafiltration
followed by Sephacryl S-200 and Q-Sepharose chromatography allowed for the isolation of a homogeneous xylanase (PXII-1), which
was 32.87 kDa according to MS analysis. The enzyme-specific activity towards soluble oat spelt xylan, which was found to be
490 IU/mg under optimum reaction conditions (50°C and pH 5.0–5.5), was 17-fold higher than that measured in the culture supernatant.
Xylan reaction products were identified as xylobiose, xylotriose, and xylotetraose. K
m values (mg ml−1) for soluble oat spelt and birchwood xylan were 11.8 and 9.45, respectively. Although PXII-1 showed 85% activity retention
upon incubation at 50°C and pH 5.0 for 20 days, incubation at pH 7.0 resulted in 50% activity loss within 3 days. PXII-1 stability
at pH 7.0 was improved in the presence of 20 mM cysteine, which allowed for 85% activity retention for 25 days. This study
on the production in high yields of a remarkably thermostable xylanase is of significance due to the central role that this
class of biocatalyst shares, along with cellulases, for the much needed enzymatic hydrolysis of biomass. Furthermore, stable
xylanases are important for the manufacture of paper, animal feed, and xylooligosaccharides. 相似文献

Rhamnosidases are enzymes that catalyze the hydrolysis of terminal nonreducing L-rhamnose for the bioconversion of natural or synthetic rhamnosides. They are of great significance in the current biotechnological
area, with applications in food and pharmaceutical industrial processes. In this study we isolated and characterized a novel
alkaline rhamnosidase from Acrostalagmus luteo albus, an alkali-tolerant soil fungus from Argentina. We also present an efficient, simple, and inexpensive method for purifying
the A. luteo albus rhamnosidase and describe the characteristics of the purified enzyme. In the presence of rhamnose as the sole carbon source,
this fungus produces a rhamnosidase with a molecular weight of 109 kDa and a pI value of 4.6, as determined by SDS–PAGE and
analytical isoelectric focusing, respectively. This enzyme was purified to homogeneity by chromatographic and electrophoretic
techniques. Using p-nitrofenil-α-L-rhamnopiranoside as substrate, the enzyme activity showed pH and temperature optima of 8.0 and 55°C, respectively. The enzyme
exhibited Michaelis–Menten kinetics, with K
M and V
max values of 3.38 mmol l−1 and 68.5 mmol l−1 min−1, respectively. Neither divalent cations such as Ca2+, Mg2+, Mn2+, and Co2+ nor reducing agents such as β-mercaptoethanol and dithiothreitol showed any effect on enzyme activity, whereas this activity
was completely inhibited by Zn2+ at a concentration of 0.2 mM. This enzyme showed the capacity to hydrolyze some natural rhamnoglucosides such as hesperidin,
naringin and quercitrin under alkaline conditions. Based on these results, and mainly due to the high activity of the A. luteo albus rhamnosidase under alkaline conditions, this enzyme should be considered a potential new biocatalyst for industrial applications. 相似文献

Flax seed mucilage (FM) contains a mixture of highly doubly substituted arabinoxylan as well as rhamnogalacturonan I with
unusual side group substitutions. Treatment of FM with a GH11 Bacillus subtilis XynA endo 1,4-β-xylanase (BsX) gave limited formation of reducing ends but when BsX and FM were incubated together on different
wheat arabinoxylan substrates and birchwood xylan, significant amounts of xylose were released. Moreover, arabinose was released
from both water-extractable and water-unextractable wheat arabinoxylan. Since no xylose or arabinose was released by BsX addition
alone on these substrates, nor without FM or BsX addition, the results indicate the presence of endogenous β-d-xylosidase and α-l-arabinofuranosidase activities in FM. FM also exhibited activity on both p-nitrophenyl α-l-arabinofuranoside (pNPA) and p-nitrophenyl β-d-xylopyranoside (pNPX). Based on K
M
values, the FM enzyme activities had a higher affinity for pNPX (K

A laccase was purified from Trametes hirsuta. This laccase was classified as a “white” or “yellow” laccase. pH 2.4 was optimal for the oxidation of ABTS and pH 2.5 for
DMP. DMP oxidation was optimal at 85°C. The half-life of this laccase was 70 min at 75°C, and 5 h at 65°C. Non-phenolic dyes,
such as Methyl Red, were oxidized by purified laccase without mediators. The enzyme was not inhibited by Cu2+, Mn2+, or EDTA. These are atypical laccase characteristics that make it a good candidate for theoretical and applied research. 相似文献

Metallo-β-lactamase from Bacillus anthracis (Bla2) catalyzes the hydrolysis of β-lactam antibiotics which are commonly prescribed to combat bacterial infections. Bla2
contributes to the antibiotic resistance of this bacterium. An understanding of it is necessary to design potential inhibitors
that can be introduced with current antibiotics for effective eradication of anthrax infections. We have purified Bla2 using
Ni2+-affinity chromatography with over 140-fold increase in activity with a yield of 3.5%. The final specific activity was 19,000 units/mg.

A bacterial strain, MAK-2, was isolated as a producer of α-l-rhamnosidase from a soil sample of Dehradoon, India. The strain was identified based on morphology, physiological tests and
16S rDNA analysis. The phylogenetic analysis based on the 16S rDNA sequence, identified the isolate as Staphylococcus xylosus, a non-pathogenic member of CNS (coagulase-negative staphylococci) family. The strain was capable of producing α-l-rhamnosidase by hydrolysing flavonoids thus confirming potential application in the citrus-processing industry. 相似文献

β-N-Methylamino-l-alanine (BMAA), a non-proteinogenic amino acid, has been detected in a range of cyanobacteria, including terrestrial, aquatic,
free living and endosymbiotic species. The widespread occurrence of cyanobacteria in the environment raises concerns regarding
the ecological and toxicological impact of BMAA, and consequently, studies have focussed extensively on the toxicity and environmental
impact of BMAA, while no research has addressed the ecophysiological or metabolic role of the compound in cyanobacteria. In
this study, both the uptake of exogenous BMAA by and the effect of exogenous BMAA on the growth of Synechocystis PCC6803 were investigated. BMAA was rapidly taken up by the non-diazotrophic cyanobacterium Synechocystis PCC6803 in a concentration dependent manner. The presence of exogenous BMAA resulted in a substantial and concentration-dependent
decrease in cell growth and the substantial loss of photosynthetic pigmentation. Similar effects were seen in the presence
of the non-proteinogenic amino acid, 2,4-diaminobutyric acid but to a lesser degree than that of BMAA. The effects were reversed
when light was decreased from 16 to 10 μmol m−2 s−1. Control cultures grown in the presence of l-arginine, l-asparagine, l-glutamate and glycine showed normal or slightly increased growth with no change in pigmentation. The decrease in growth rate
coupled to bleaching indicates that BMAA may induce chlorosis in the presence of adequate photosynthetic radiation suggesting
a connection between BMAA and the induction of conditions, such as nitrogen or sulphur depletion, that result in growth arrest
and the induction of chlorosis. 相似文献
