Product of inulo-oligosaccharides from inulin by endo-inulinase activiting enzyme and Its deletion mutant protein from CFTase

We have previously reported recombinant deletion mutant was constructed from cycloinulo-oligosaccharide fructanotransferase(CFTase) gene of Xanthmonas oryzae MGL21. Purification of the mutant protein from E. coli and reation condition for the production of inulo-oligosaccharide(ISO) were studied. The molecular mass of the CFTase deletion mutant protein was estimated to be 90kDa by SDS- Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Optimum reaction pH and temperature were pH6.5 and $40^{\circ}C$, respectively. Under optimal reaction conditions, endo-inulinase activating enzyme was rapidly produced ISO from inulin. Components were DP(degree of polymerization) 3and 4 with trace amount of smaller oligosaccharides.

Xanthmonas oryzae MGL21유래의 CFTase의 repeat영역을 deletion 시킨 ${\triangle}N{\triangle}C$ deletion mutant는 protein 정제결과 약 90kDa 이있으며 pH6.5, $45^{\circ}C$에서 최적 효소 반응을 하였다. 또한 Inulin과 반응시켰을 때 CFTase는 main product가 CF인데 비해 ${\triangle}N{\triangle}C$ deletion mutant는 main product가 fructooligosaccharide였다. 이러한 결과로부터 CFTase의 N말단 repeat영역과 C말단 repeat영역을 제거하였을 경우 endoinulinase와 활성이 유사하며, 유전자 크기 및 아미노산 서열도 유사함을 알 수 있었다.
