Recombinant expression and characterization of an acid-, alkali- and salt-tolerant [beta]-1,3-1,4-glucanase from Paenibacillus sp. S09
A new [beta]-1,3-1,4-glucanase gene (PlicA) was cloned from Paenibacillus sp. S09. The ORF contained 717 bp coding for a 238 amino acid protein. PlicA, expressed in Escherichia coli and purified by Ni^sup 2+^-affinity chromatography, had optimum activity at 55 °C and pH 6.2. The specific activity to...

Zusammenfassung: | A new [beta]-1,3-1,4-glucanase gene (PlicA) was cloned from Paenibacillus sp. S09. The ORF contained 717 bp coding for a 238 amino acid protein. PlicA, expressed in Escherichia coli and purified by Ni^sup 2+^-affinity chromatography, had optimum activity at 55 °C and pH 6.2. The specific activity toward barley [beta]-glucan reached 7,055 U/mg. K ^sub m^ and V ^sub max^ values with barley [beta]-glucan were 3.7 mg/ml and 3.3 × 10^sup 3^ [mu]mol/min mg, respectively. The enzyme exhibited acid- and alkali-tolerance with more than 80 % activity remaining after incubation for 4 h at pH 3.5-12. PlicA was salt-tolerant (>90 % activity retained in 4 M NaCl at 25 °C for 24 h) and salt-activated: activity rising 1.5-fold in 0.5 M NaCl. The thermostability was improved by NaCl and CaCl^sub 2^. This is the first report of an acid-, alkali- and salt-tolerant bacterial [beta]-1,3-1,4-glucanase with high catalytic efficiency.[PUBLICATION ABSTRACT] |
