Bacillus megaterium이 생산하는 ${\gamma}-cyclodextrinase$의 정제와 특성에 관한 연구

Purification and Properties of ${\gamma}-Cyclodextrinase$ from Bacillus megaterium(KFCC 11855)

Bacillus megaterium이 생산하는 ${\gamma}-cyclodextrinase({\gamma}-CDase)$ 염석, DEAE-trisacryl, Ultrogel AcA 24 및 Ultrogel HA column chromatography 등의 방법으로 부분정제한 결과 specific activity는 120.4 units/mg protein으로 조효소액에 비하여 125.4배 정제되었다. 부분정제한 ${\gamma}-CDase$는 SDS-ployacrylamide gel 전기영동에 의해 2개의 band로 나타났으며 band I과 band II의 분자량은 각각 64,000과 50,000이었다. ${\gamma}-CDase$의 최적 pH는 6.0, 최적 온도는 $60^{\circ}C$이었고, $45^{\circ}C$ 이하의 온도와 pH $6.0{\sim}9.0$에서 안정하였으며, ${\gamma}-CD$에 대한 Km값은 0.903 mM이었다. $Mg^{2+}$와 $Mn^{2+}$ 이온에 의해 활성이 증가한 반면, $Hg^{2+}$와 $Cu^{2+}$에 의해서는 활성이 현저하게 감소되었다. ${\gamma}-CDase$는 ${\alpha}-CD$와 ${\beta}-CD$에는 거의 활성이 없었고, ${\gamma}-CD$에는 매우 높은 활성이 나타내었으며, 이의 분해 생성물은 주로 glucose와 maltose이었다.

The experiment was carried out to purify and to investigate the properties of the cyclodextrinase produced from Bacillus megaterium KFCC 11855. The enzyme was partially purified with $(NH_4)_2SO_4$ and chromatography on DEAE-trisacryl, Ultrogel AcA 34, DEAE-trisacryl and Ultrogel HA. The optimum temperature and pH of the purified enzyme were $60^{\circ}C$ and 6.0, respectively. The enzyme was stable at the temperature of $45^{\circ}C$ below and at the pH range of $6.0{\sim}9.0$, respectively. The Km value for ${\gamma}-cyclodextrin$ was 0.903 mM. The enzyme activity was increased by $Mg^{2+}$ and $Mn^{2+}$, but decreased by $Hg^{2+}$ and $Cu^{2+}$. The enzyme degraded ${\gamma}-cyclodextrin$ but not ${\alpha}-cyclodextrin$. The degree of ${\beta}-CD$ degradation by the enzyme was very low. The decomposed products of ${\gamma}-cyclodextrin$ by the enzyme were mainly glucose, maltose and a little amount of maltotriose.
