Abstract

In this study, Cordyceps militaris was grown in a liquid medium containing colloidal chitin. A chitinase was purified from the supernatant or cultured medium by ammonium sulfate fractionation, DEAE-Sephadex A-25 and Sephadex G-50 column chromatography. Optimum temperature and pH of this enzyme were $35^{\circ}C$ and 5.5, respectively. The molecular weight of the chitinase was estimated to be 48.5 kDa by SDS-PAGE and its Km value was 0.57 mM. The activity of this enzyme was inhibited by $Cu^{2+},\;Mn^{2+},\;Hg^{2+},\;Zn^{2+},\;CO_{3}^{2-},\;SO_4^{2-},\;CN^-,\;ion,\;and\;OCN^-$ maleic anhydride, acetic anhydride or N-bromo succinimide, especially strongly inhibited by sodium cyanate for 84.0 percentage. But its activity wag slightly stimulated by $Mg^{2+}\;and\;K^+$ ion, respectively. The products formed during hydrolysis of the hexa-N-acetylchitohexaose with this enzyme were N,N'-diacetylchitobiose and N,N',N'-triacetylchitotriose. These results imply that this purified enzyme may be an endo-chitinase.

C. militaris 균사를 콜로이달 키틴이 첨가된 액체 배지에서 배양한 후 황산암모늄 분별침전, 이온 교환 및 겔 여과 크로마토그래피를 이용하여 배양액 중의 chitianse를 분리 정제하였다. 이 효소의 최적 pH와 온도는 각각 5.5와 $35^{\circ}C$이었으며 겉보기 분자량은 48.5 kDa이었고, 그 Km 값은 0.57 mM이었다. 이 효소는 $Cu^{2+},\;Mn^{2+},\;Hg^{2+},\;Zn^{2+},\;CO_{3}^{2-},\;SO_4^{2-},\;CN^-$ 및 OCN^-$ 이온에 의하여 활성이 억제되었으나, $Mg^{2+}$ 및 $K^+$ 이온에 의하여 활성이 약간 증가되었다. 또한 효소 단백질의 아미노산 잔기와 선택적으로 반응하는 무수말레인산, 무수아세트산 및 N-bromo succinimide에 의하여 84.0% 활성이 억제되어 카르복실기를 가진 아미노산 잔기가 이 효소의 활성 부위에 중요한 역할을 함을 알았다. NAG6에 의한 기질 분해 특이성 실험을 통하여 이 효소는 endo-형태의 chitinase임을 알았다.
