右旋糖酐酶的底物吸附

用35％乙醇保护,底物占旋糖酐能对右旋糖酐酶有效地吸附。采用0．2mol／L pH8．0的KzHPO4-KH2PO4缓冲液(内含30％乙醇)进行解吸,总同收率在80％以上。粗酶液经此过程提纯了9倍。低温对吸附有利。 在酶稳定范围内,pH对吸附影响不大。酶浓度过高,吸附效率下降。对稀酶液可连续多次吸附以达到浓缩目的。1．5％(W／V)的右旋糖酐使可得到满意的吸附效果,对五种不同来原的右旋糖酐酶吸附率都很高,但不同来源的底物适用情况差别很大。

淡紫拟青霉右旋糖酐酶的形成条件

比较了各种碳水化合物对淡紫拟青霉(Paecilomyces lilacinus)右旋糖酐酶形成的影响,右旋糖酐是最好的碳源,也是最佳诱导物。不同分子量(17．2—1000kD)的右旋糖酐对酶形成的诱导作用不同,酶的产生随右旋糖酐分子量的增大而增加。用分子量为1000kD的右旋糖酐作碳源时比用17.2kD的右旋糖酐作碳源时的产酶量高40％以上。用右旋糖酐和其它糖的混合物作碳源时,酶的形成受到不同程度的抑制。右旋糖酐酶形成的其它适宜条件：氮源为牛肉蛋白胨,培养基初始pH6．0—7.0.种龄为48小时,在250ml三角瓶中装50ml培养基,于28℃在200r／min摇床上培养6天。

Immobilization of dextranase on bentonite

Dextranase (1,6-α-d-glucan 6-glucanohydrolase, EC 3.2.1.11) from Penicillium aculeatum culture has been immobilized on a bentonite support. The matrix-bound enzyme could be stored as acetone-dried powder or as a suspension in acetate buffer, pH 5.6, for about three weeks at 4°C without any loss of activity. There was no change in the specific activity of the enzyme on immobilization and the enzyme yield was 0.1–0.6 mg/g bentonite matrix. In the presence of sucrose, thermal stability of the immobilized enzyme was high and the bound enzyme could be used for about six cycles.     

Studies on dextranase from Penicillium aculeatum

A strain of Penicillium aculeatum has been found to synthesize large quantities of dextranase (1,6-α-d-glucan 6-glucanohydrolase, EC 3.2.1.11) in culture filtrate. Some of the conditions governing the enzyme production have been standardized. The enzyme in crude state was found to be highly stable, its activity being maximum at 50 to 60°C and at pH 5 to 6. About 90% of the substrate dextran was converted to isomaltose in a 4 h period at 40°C. The enzyme when purified by salt and solvent fractionation gave 1500 units per mg protein and retained its activity over a long period when stored at 4°C.     

Molecular characterization of dextranase from Streptococcus rattus

The complete nucleotide sequence of the dextranase gene of Streptococcus rattus ATCC19645 was determined. An open reading frame of the dextranase gene was 2,760 bp long and encoded a dextranase protein consisting of 920 amino acids with a molecular weight of 100,163 Da and an isoelectric point of 4.67. The S. rattus dextranase purified from recombinant Escherichia coli cells showed dextran-hydrolyzing activity with optimal pH (5.0) and temperature (40 C) similar to those of dextranases from Streptococcus mutans and Streptococcus sobrinus. The deduced amino acid sequence of the S. rattus dextranase revealed that the dextranase molecule consists of two variable regions and a conserved region. The variable regions contained an N-terminal signal peptide and a C-terminal cell wall sorting signal; the conserved region contained two functional domains, catalytic and dextran-binding sites. This structural feature of the S. rattus dextranase is quite similar to that of other cariogenic species such as S. mutans, S. sobrinus, and Streptococcus downei.     

Purification and characterization of Paecilomyces lilacinus dextranase

Two dextranase isoenzymes [endo-(1,6)-α-d-glucan-6-glucanohydrolase, EC 3.2.1.11] have been isolated from a crude enzyme powder prepared from the culture supernatant of Paecilomyces lilacinus. Purification was achieved by means of a two-stage ion-exchange chromatography on DEAE-cellulose. Dextranase I was recovered with a 35.3-fold increase in specific activity and a yield of 16%; dextranase II was purified 19-fold with a yield of 4%. The characteristics of the isoenzymes were very similar; both exhibited maximum hydrolytic activity at pH 4.5 and 55°C. Activation energies for thermal inactivation were 402 and 330 kJ mol^?1 for dextranase I and II, respectively. The dextranases were not inhibited by EDTA or N-ethylmaleimide.

Nucleotide sequence and molecular characterization of a dextranase gene from Streptococcus downei

DNA fragments encoding the Streptococcus downei dextranase were amplified by PCR and inverse PCR based on a comparison of the dextranase gene (dex) sequences from S. sobrinus, S. mutans, and S. salivarius, and the complete nucleotide sequence of the S. downei dex was determined. An open reading frame (ORF) of dex was 3,891 bp long. It encoded a dextranase protein (Dex) consisting of 1,297 amino acids with a molecular mass of 139,743 Da and an isoelectric point of 4.49. The deduced amino acid sequence of S. downei Dex had homology to those of S. sobrinus, S. mutans and S. salivanus Dex in the conserved region (made of about 540 amino acid residues). DNA hybridization analysis showed that a dex DNA probe of S. downei hybridized to the chromosomal DNA of S. sobrinus as well as that of S. downei, but did not to other species of mutans streptococci. The C terminus of the S. downei Dex had a membrane-anchor region which has been reported as a common structure of C termini of both the S. mutans and S. sobrinus Dex. The recombinant plasmid which harbored the dex ORF of S. downei produced a recombinant Dex enzyme in Escherichia coli cells. The analysis of the recombinant enzyme on SDS-PAGE containing blue dextran showed multiple active forms as well as dextranases of S. mutans, S. sobrinus and S. salivarius.     

Application of chimeric glucanase comprising mutanase and dextranase for prevention of dental biofilm formation

Water‐insoluble glucan (WIG) produced by mutans streptococci, an important cariogenic pathogen, plays an important role in the formation of dental biofilm and adhesion of biofilm to tooth surfaces. Glucanohydrolases, such as mutanase (α‐1,3‐glucanase) and dextranase (α‐1,6‐glucanase), are able to hydrolyze WIG. The purposes of this study were to construct bi‐functional chimeric glucanase, composed of mutanase and dextranase, and to examine the effects of this chimeric glucanase on the formation and decomposition of biofilm. The mutanase gene from Paenibacillus humicus NA1123 and the dextranase gene from Streptococcus mutans ATCC 25175 were cloned and ligated into a pE‐SUMOstar Amp plasmid vector. The resultant his‐tagged fusion chimeric glucanase was expressed in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3) and partially purified. The effects of chimeric glucanase on the formation and decomposition of biofilm formed on a glass surface by Streptococcus sobrinus 6715 glucosyltransferases were then examined. This biofilm was fractionated into firmly adherent, loosely adherent, and non‐adherent WIG fractions. Amounts of WIG in each fraction were determined by a phenol‐sulfuric acid method, and reducing sugars were quantified by the Somogyi–Nelson method. Chimeric glucanase reduced the formation of the total amount of WIG in a dose‐dependent manner, and significant reductions of WIG in the adherent fraction were observed. Moreover, the chimeric glucanase was able to decompose biofilm, being 4.1 times more effective at glucan inhibition of biofilm formation than a mixture of dextranase and mutanase. These results suggest that the chimeric glucanase is useful for prevention of dental biofilm formation.     

Identification and characterization of a dextranase gene of Streptococcus criceti

The dextranase gene, dex, was identified in Streptococcus criceti strain E49 by degenerate PCR and sequenced completely by the gene-walking method. A sequence of 3,960 nucleotides was determined. The dex gene encodes a 1,200-amino acid protein, which has a calculated molecular mass of 128,129.91 and pI of 4.15 and is predicted to be a cell-surface protein. The deduced amino acid sequence of dex showed homology to S. downei dextranase (63.9% identity). Phylogenetic analysis revealed the similarity of the deduced amino acid sequence of dextranases in S. criceti, S. sobrinus, and S. downei. A recombinant form of the protein with six histidine residues tagged in the C-terminus was partially purified and showed dextranase activity on blue-dextran sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (BD-SDSPAGE) followed by renaturation. We also detected dextranase activity in S. criceti cell extracts and culture supernatant by renatured BD-SDS-PAGE, whereas no dextranase activity of the cells was observed on blue-dextran brain heart infusion (BD-BHI) agar plates. Furthermore, PCR-based mutations of dextranase indicated that a deletion mutant of the C-terminal region could hydrolyze blue dextrans and that the D453E mutation, W793L mutation, and double mutations (W793L and deletion of the C-terminal region) resulted in a loss of dextranase activity. These findings suggest that Asp-453 and Trp-793 residues of S. criceti dextranase are critical to the enzyme's activity.     

Engineered dextranase from Streptococcus mutans enhances the production of longer isomaltooligosaccharides

Herein, we investigated enzymatic properties and reaction specificities of Streptococcus mutans dextranase, which hydrolyzes α-(1→6)-glucosidic linkages in dextran to produce isomaltooligosaccharides. Reaction specificities of wild-type dextranase and its mutant derivatives were examined using dextran and a series of enzymatically prepared p-nitrophenyl α-isomaltooligosaccharides. In experiments with 4-mg·mL^?1 dextran, isomaltooligosaccharides with degrees of polymerization (DP) of 3 and 4 were present at the beginning of the reaction, and glucose and isomaltose were produced by the end of the reaction. Increased concentrations of the substrate dextran (40 mg·mL^?1) yielded isomaltooligosaccharides with higher DP, and the mutations T558H, W279A/T563N, and W279F/T563N at the ?3 and ?4 subsites affected hydrolytic activities of the enzyme, likely reflecting decreases in substrate affinity at the ?4 subsite. In particular, T558H increased the proportion of isomaltooligosaccharide with DP of 5 in hydrolysates following reactions with 4-mg·mL^?1 dextran.Abbreviations CI: cycloisomaltooligosaccharide; CITase: CI glucanotransferase; CITase-Bc: CITase from Bacillus circulans T-3040; DP: degree of polymerization of glucose unit; GH: glycoside hydrolase family; GTF: glucansucrase; HPAEC-PAD: high performance anion-exchange chromatography-pulsed amperometric detection; IG: isomaltooligosaccharide; IGn: IG with DP of n (n, 2?5); PNP: p-nitrophenol; PNP-Glc: p-nitrophenyl α-glucoside; PNP-IG: p-nitrophenyl isomaltooligosaccharide; PNP-IGn: PNP-IG with DP of n (n, 2?6); SmDex: dextranase from Streptococcus mutans; SmDexTM: S. mutans ATCC25175 SmDex bearing Gln100?Ile732
