Abstract

The inulin fructotransferse (depolymerizing) (IFTase, EC 2.4.1.93) gene of Arthrobacter sp. A-6 was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis. The IFTase gene consisted of an ORF of 1.311 nucleotides encoding a polypeptide of 436 amino acids containing a signal peptide of 31 amino acids in the N-terminus. The molecular mass of the IFTase based on the nucleotide sequence was calculated to be 46.116 Da. The recombinant E. coli $DH5{\alpha}$ cells expressing the Arthrobacter sp. A-6 IFTase gene produced most of the IFTase intracelularly. In contrast, the recombinant B. subtilis DB 104 carrying the IFTas gene on a B. subtilis-E. Coli expression vector secreted the IFTase into the culture fluid efficiently.
