Abstract

[ ${\alpha}$ ]Galactosidase was purified from a culture filtrate of Mortierella sp. by CM-sephadex C-50, and subsequent Sephadex G-100 column chromatography. The final preparation thus obtained showed a single band on SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The molecular weight was determined to be 56 kDa. $Gal^3Man^4$ ($6^3$-mono-O-${\alpha}$-D-galactopyranosyl-4-O-${\beta}$-D-mannotetraose), $Gal^{2,3}Man_5$ ($6^{2,3}$-di-O-${\alpha}$-D-galactopyranosyl-4-O-${\beta}$-D-mannopentaose), $Gal_2Man_3$ ($6^2$-mono-O-${\alpha}$-D-galactopyranosyl-4-O-${\beta}$-D-mannotriose), $Gal^2Man_6$ ($6^2$-mono-O-${\alpha}$-D-galactopyranosyl-4-O-${\beta}$-D-mannohexaose) and $Gal^2Man_5$ ($6^2$-mono-O-${\alpha}$-D-galactopyranosyl-4-O-${\beta}$-D-mannopentaose), prepared from 3 types of microbial ${\beta}$-mannnanase, were used as substrates. $Gal^3Man_4$ and $Gal^2Man_3$ had a stubbed ${\alpha}$-galactosyl residue on the $2^{nd}$ and $3^{rd}$ mannose from the reducing end of mannotetraose and mannotriose, thus ${\alpha}$-galactosidase showed a preference for stubbed ${\alpha}$-galactosyl residue. ${\alpha}$-Galactosidase hydrolyzed $Gal^3Man_4$ more rapidly than $Gal^2Man_3$. However, ${\alpha}$-galactosidase hardly acted on $Gal^{2,3}Man_5$, $Gal^2Man_6$ or $Gal^2Man_5$. The enzyme hydrolyzed melibiose to galactose and glucose, raffinose to galactose and sucrose, and also stachyose to galactose and raffinose.

Mortierella sp. 유래 효소 정제는 CM-sephadex C-50 column chromatography와 Sephadex G-100 column에 의해 수행하여 SDS-전기영동에서 단일밴드를 확인하였고 분자량은 57kDa로 결정되었다. melibiose, raffinose 및 stachyose의 세 종류의 기질에 대한 특이성에서는 Mortierella sp. 유래 정제 ${\alpha}$-galactosidase는 세 종류 기질의 비환원말단에 위치하고 있는 galactose를 모두 유리하는 특이성이 있음을 확인하였다. Bacillus sp. 유래의 $Gal^3Man_4$에 대해서 반응초기 3시간부터 가수분해가 진행되어 반응말기에서는 galactose, mannotetraose 그리고 분해되지 않고 일부 남아있는 $Gal^3Man_4$의 spot이 출현된 반면, 중합도 7의 $Gal^{2,3}Man_5$에 대해서는 반응초기부터 말기까지 전혀 특이성이 없음을 시사하였다. Trichoderma harzianum 유래의 $Gal^2Man_3$에 대해서는 반응초기 3시간부터 가수분해가 진행되어 일부 galactose와 mannotriose spot이 출현되고 있는 반면, 중합도 7의 $Gal^2Man_6$에 대해서는 Bacillus sp. 유래의 중합도 7의 $Gal^{2,3}Man_5$와 동일하게 galactose를 절단하는 능력이 없는 특이성을 보이고 있다. Xylogone sphaerospora 유래의 $Gal^2Man_3$는 Trichoderma harzianum 유래의 중합도 4와 동일한 구조로서 가수분해 시간 경과에 따른 반응말기에서 역시 galactose, mannotriose 및 잔존하는 $Gal^2Man_3$ spot이 출현하고 있는 반면 중합도 6인 $Gal^2Man_5$에 대해서는 mannopentaose의 환원말단부터 2번 mannose에 결합하고 있는 galactose에 대해서는 역시 특이성을 나타내지 않아 반응 초기부터 말기까지 가수분해 pattern에 대한 변화를 보이지 않고 있다.
