Abstract

The Bacillus stearothermophilus arfI gene encoding a-arabinofuranosidase was isolated from the genomic library, cloned into pBR322, and subsequently transferred into the Escherichia coli HB101. The recombinant E. coli was selected from approximately 10,000 transformants screened by making use of its ability to produce a yellow pigment around the colony on the selective medium supplemented with p-nitrophenyl-$\alpha$-L-arabinofuranoside (pNPAf), a chromogenic substrate. The functional clone was found to harbor a recombinant plasmid, pKMG11 with an insertion of about 5 kb derived from the B. stearothermophilus chromosomal DNA. Identity of the arfI gene on the insert DNA was confirmed by a zymogram with 4-methylumbelliferyl-$\alpha$-L-arabinofuranoside as the enzyme substrate. The $\alpha$-arabinofuranosidase from the recombinant E. coli strain showed very high substrate specificity; the enzyme displayed high activity only with pNPAf among many other p- or $o$-nitrophenyl derivatives of several sugars, and acted only on arabinoxylan among various natural arabinose containing polysaccharides tested.
