Abstract

D-Xylose isomerase produced by Lactococcus sp. JK-8, isolated from kimchi, was purified 17-fold of homogeneity, and its physicochemical properties were determined. Although the N-terminal amino acid sequence of D-xylose isomerase was analysed to Ala-Tyr-Phe-Asn-Asp-Ile-Ala-Pro-Ile-Lys, it was not similar to that of Lactobacillus enzyme. The molecular weight of the purified enzyme was estimated to be 180 kDa by gel filtration, 45 kDa by SDS-PAGE and the enzyme was homotetramer. The optimum pH of the enzyme was around 7 and stable between pH 6 and 8. The optimum reaction temperature was 7$0^{\circ}C$ and stable up to 7$0^{\circ}C$ in the presence of 1 mM $Mn^{2+}$. Like other D-xylose isomerases, this enzyme required divalent cation, such as $Mg^{2+}$, $Co^{2+}$, or $Mn^{2+}$ for the activity and thermostability. $Mn^{2+}$was the best activator. Substrate specificity studies showed that this enzyme was highly active on D-xylose. The enzyme had an isoelectric point of 4.8, and fm values for D-xylose was 5.9 mM.

김치에서 분리된 Lactococcus sp. JK-8 균주에 의해 생산되는 D-xylose isomerase를 17배 정제하여 물리 화학적인 특성을 조사하였다 D-Xylose isomerase의 N 말단 아미노산 서열을 결정한 결과 Ala-Tyr-Phe-Asn-Asp-Ile-Ala-Pro-Ile-Lys로 확인되었고 이것은 Lactococcus 속의 D-xylose isomerase와는 유사하지 않았다. 정제된 효소의 분자량은 gel filtration의 경우 180 kDa, subunit의 분자량은 SDS-PAGE에서 45 kDa으로 측정되었고 이 효소는 4개의 subunit으로 구성된 homotetramer였다. 최적 반응 pH는 pH 7부근이었고 pH 6∼8 사이에서 안정하였다. 최적 반응온도는 7$0^{\circ}C$였고 1 mM $Mn^{2+}$의 존재 하에서는 7$0^{\circ}C$ 이상에서도 안정하였다. 이 효소도 다른 D-xylose isomerase처럼 활성과 열 안정성을 위해서 $Mg^{2+}$, $Co^{2+}$또는 $Mn^{2+}$와 같은 2가의 양이온을 필요로 하였으며, 이중 $Mn^{2+}$가 효소 활성에 가장 효과적이었다. 기질 특이성에 관한 연구에서는 D-xylose를 사용했을 때 높은 활성을 가짐을 알 수 있었다. 이 효소의 pI 값은 4.8이었고, D-xylose에 대한 Km 값은 5.9 mM이었다.
