Glycosyl hydrolase family 26에 속하는 Bacillus subtilis WL-7 mannanase를 코드하는 유전자를 대장균에서 과잉 발현하였다. 아미노 말단의 signal peptide를 포함하거나 포함하지 않은 mannanase 유전자를 각각 pET24a(＋)에 도입하여 재조합 플라스미드 pETMAN과 pENS7를 제조하였다. 이들 플라스미드를 함유하는 Escherichia coli BL21(DE3)에서 mannanase를 발현시킨 결과 signal peptide가 제거된 mannanase유전자의 발현량이 매우 높았다. 그러나 배양온도 $37^{\circ}C$에서 pENS7를 함유한 재조합 대장균에서 과잉 발현된 mannanase는 대부분이 불활성 형태로 존재하였으며, 배양온도를 $31^{\circ}C$이하로 하였을 때 수용화 형태의 효소량이 증가하면서 효소활성이 높아졌다. IPTG에 의해 발현된 재조합 대장균의 균체파쇄 상등액 중에 존재하는 mannanase 활성은 배양온도 $25^{\circ}C$～28$^{\circ}C$에서 가장 높았으며, 전체 단백질량을 기준으로 볼 때는 배양온도 $31^{\circ}C$에서 비활성이 가장 높은 것으로 확인되었다.

산성 배지에서 성장하며 mannanase를 생산하는 균으로 분리된 Bacillus sp. YB-1401과 B. amyloliquefaciens YB-1402로부터 mannanase 유전자를 각각 클로닝하고 그 염기서열을 분석한 결과 2개 유전자는 동일하게 360 아미노산으로 구성된 단백질을 코드하며 1,080 뉴클레오티드로 구성되어 있다. 아미노산 잔기 배열의 유사성을 분석한 결과 이들 mannanases는 서로 4개의 잔기가 다르며 glycosyl hydrolase family 26에 속하는 mannanase와 상동성이 높았다. 재조합 대장균이 생산하는 YB-1402 유래의 His-tagged mannanase (HtMAN1402)가 YB-1401 유래의 His-tagged mannanase (HtMAN1401)에 비해 열안정성과 산성 pH에서 안정성이 높았다. 특히 HtMAN1402는 pH 3.0에서 4시간 방치 후에도 약 50% 이상의 잔존활성을 보여 사료첨가용 효소로 사용되기에 적합한 특성을 보였다. 또한 이들 효소는 $Ca^{2+}$ 이온에 의해 열안정성이 증가하는 것으로 확인되었다.

Paenibacillus woosongensis의 유전체 부분 염기서열로부터 mannanase를 코드하는 것으로 유추되는 open reading frame을 중합효소연쇄반응으로 증폭하여 대장균에 클로닝하고 염기서열을 결정하였다. Mannanase 유전자는 man26AT로 명명하였으며 1,053 아미노산으로 구성된 단백질을 코드하는 3,159 뉴클레오티드로 이루어졌다. 아미노산 잔기배열을 분석한 결과 Man26AT는 glycosyl hydrolase family 26의 mannanase와 상동성이 높은 활성영역, 탄수화물 결합영역 CBM27과 CBM11로 구성되어 있었다. Man26AT의 아미노산 배열은 P. ihumii의 유추된 mannanase와 상동성이 81%이고 다른 Paenibacillus 속 균주의 여러 mannanases와 57% 이하의 상동성을 보였다. man26AT 유전자를 함유한 재조합 대장균의 균체 파쇄상등액은 $55^{\circ}C$와 pH 5.5에서 최대의 mannanase 활성을 보였고, $50^{\circ}C$에서 1시간 열처리한 후에 80% 이상의 잔존활성을 보였다. Man26AT는 locust bean gum (LBG) galactomannan과 konjac glucomannan에 대한 분해활성이 유사하였으며, carboxymethylcellulose, xylan과 para-nitrophenyl-${\beta}$-mannopyranoside는 분해하지 못하였다. Man26AT에 의해 mannotriose, mannotetraose, mannopentaose와 mannohexaose 등의 만노올리고당이나 LBG로부터 공통의 최종 가수분해 산물로 mannose, mannobiose와 mannotriose가 생성되었다. 또한 mannotriose 보다 큰 만노올리고당이 LBG와 guar gum의 분해산물로 각각 생성되었다. 그러나 Man26AT는 mannobiose를 분해하지는 못하였다. 활성염색을 통해 Man26AT는 균체 내에서 3개 이상의 크기가 다른 활성 단백질로 분해된 것이 확인되었다.

A gene encoding the mannanase of Bacillus subtilis WL-3, which had been isolated from Korean soybean paste, was cloned into Escherichia coli and the nucleotide sequence of a 2.7-kb DNA fragment containing the mannanase gene was subsequently determined. The mannanase gene, designated manA, consisted of 1,080 nucleotides encoding a polypeptide of 360 amino acid residues. The deduced amino acid sequence was highly homologous to those of mannanases belonging to glycosyl hydrolase family 26. The manA gene was strongly expressed in B. subtilis 168 by cloning the gene downstream of a strong B. subtilis promoter of plasmid $pJ27{\Delta}88U$. In flask cultures, the production of mannanase by recombinant B. subtilis 168 reached maximum levels of 300 units/ml and 450 units/ml in LB medium and LB medium containing 0.3% locust bean gum, respectively. Based on the zymogram ofthe mannanase, it was found that the mannanase produced by recombinant B. subtilis could be maintained stably without proteolytic degradation during the culture time.

A mannanase gene (man26B) was obtained from a sea bacterium, Paenibacillus sp. BME-14, through the constructed genomic library and inverse PCR. The gene of man26B had an open reading frame of 1,428 bp that encoded a peptide of 475- amino acid residues with a calculated molecular mass of 53 kDa. Man26B possessed two domains, a carbohydrate binding module (CBM) belonging to family 6 and a family 26 catalytic domain (CD) of glycosyl hydrolases, which showed the highest homology to Cel44C of P. polymyxa (60% identity). The optimum pH and temperature for enzymatic activity of Man26B were 4.5 and $60^{\circ}C$, respectively. The activity of Man26B was not affected by $Mg^{2+}$ and $Co^{2+}$, but was inhibited by $Hg^{2+},\;Ca^{2+},\;Cu^{2+},\;Mn^{2+},\;K^+,\;Na^+$, and $\beta$-mercaptoethanol, and slightly enhanced by $Pb^{2+}$ and $Zn^{2+}$. EDTA did not affect the activity of Man26B, which indicates that it does not require divalent ions to function. Man26B showed a high specific activity for LBG and konjac glucomannan, with $K_m,\;V_{max}$, and $k_{cat}$ values of 3.80 mg/ml, 91.70 ${\mu}mol$/min/mg protein, and 77.08/s, respectively, being observed when LBG was the substrate. Furthermore, deletion of the CBM6 domain increased the enzyme stability while enabling it to retain 80% and 60% of its initial activity after treatment at $80^{\circ}C$ and $90^{\circ}C$ for 30 min, respectively. This finding will be useful in industrial applications of Man26B, because of the harsh circumstances associated with such processes.

The SCO0284 gene of Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2) is predicted to encode an α-galactosidase (680 amino acids) belonging to glycoside hydrolase family 27. In this study, the SCO0284 coding region was cloned and overexpressed in Streptomyces lividans TK24. The mature form of SCO0284 (641 amino acids, 68 kDa) was purified from culture broth by gel filtration chromatography, with 83.3-fold purification and a yield of 11.2%. Purified SCO0284 showed strong activity against p-nitrophenyl-α-D-galactopyranoside, melibiose, raffinose, and stachyose, and no activity toward lactose, agar (galactan), and neoagarooligosaccharides, indicating that it is an α-galactosidase. Optimal enzyme activity was observed at 40℃ and pH 7.0. The addition of metal ions or EDTA did not affect the enzyme activity, indicating that no metal cofactor is required. The kinetic parameters V_max and K_m for p-nitrophenyl-α-D-galactopyranoside were 1.6 mg/ml (0.0053 M) and 71.4 U/mg, respectively. Thin-layer chromatography and mass spectrometry analysis of the hydrolyzed products of melibiose, raffinose, and stachyose showed perfect matches with the masses of the sodium adducts of the hydrolyzed products, galactose (M+Na, 203), melibiose (M+Na, 365), and raffinose (M+Na, 527), respectively, indicating that it specifically cleaves the α-1,6-glycosidic bond of the substrate, releasing the terminal D-galactose.

Paenibacillus woosongensis의 유전체 부분 염기서열로부터 유추된 xylanase 유전자를 PCR 증폭하여 클로닝하고 염기서열을 결정하였다. 클로닝된 xylanase 유전자는 xyn11B로 명명되었으며, 356 아미노산으로 구성된 단백질을 코드하는 1,071 뉴클레오티드로 이루어졌다. Xyn11B의 아미노산 배열을 분석한 결과 glycosyl hydrolase family 11에 속하는 xylanase와 상동성이 높은 활성영역과 탄수화물 결합영역을 포함하고 있는 다영역 효소로 확인되었다. SignalP4.1 server로부터 아미노 말단의 26개 잔기가 signal peptide로 예측되었다. DEAE-Sepharose와 Phenyl-Separose 컬럼 크로마토그래피 과정을 통해 xyn11B 유전자를 함유한 재조합 대장균의 균체 파쇄상등액으로부터 Xyn11B를 부분 정제하였다. 부분 정제된 Xyn11B의 반응특성을 조사한 결과 pH 6.5와 $50^{\circ}C$에서 최대 반응활성을 보였고 birchwood xylan이나 oat spelt xylan보다 arabinoxylan에 대한 활성이 높았으며 셀룰로스, 만난과 para-nitrophenyl-${\beta}$-xylopyranoside에 대해서는 분해활성이 없었다. Xyn11B의 활성은 $Ca^{2+}$과 $Mg^{2+}$에 의해서는 약간 증가한 반면에 $Cu^{2+}$, $Ni^{2+}$, $Fe^{3+}$, $Mn^{2+}$에 의해서는 크게 저해되었고 SDS에 의해서 완전히 저해되었다.

A gene coding for an endoglucanase (EglA), of the glycosyl hydrolase family 12 and derived from Aspergillus niger VTCC-F021, was cloned and sequenced. The cDNA sequence, 717 bp, and its putative endoglucanase, a 238 aa protein with a predicted molecular mass of 26 kDa and a pI of 4.35, exhibited 98.3-98.7% and 98.3-98.6% identities, respectively, with cDNA sequences and their corresponding endoglucanases from Aspergillus niger strains from the GenBank. The cDNA was overexpressed in Pichia pastoris GS115 under the control of an AOX1 promoter with a level of 1.59 U/ml culture supernatant, after 72 h of growth in a YP medium induced with 1% (v/v) of methanol. The molecular mass of the purified EglA, determined by SDS-PAGE, was 33 kDa, with a specific activity of 100.16 and 19.91 U/mg toward 1% (w/v) of ${\beta}$-glucan and CMC, respectively. Optimal enzymatic activity was noted at a temperature of $55^{\circ}C$ and a pH of 5. The recombinant EglA (rEglA) was stable over a temperature range of $30-37^{\circ}C$ and at pH range of 3.5-4.5. Metal ions, detergents, and solvents tested indicated a slightly inhibitory effect on rEglA activity. Kinetic constants ($K_m$, $V_{max}$, $k_{cat}$, and $k_{cat}/K_m$) determined for rEglA with ${\beta}$-glucan as a substrate were 4.04 mg/ml, 102.04 U/mg, 2,040.82 $min^{-1}$, and 505.05, whereas they were 10.17 mg/ml, 28.99 U/mg, 571.71 $min^{-1}$, and 57.01 with CMC as a substrate, respectively. The results thus indicate that the rEglA obtained in this study is highly specific toward ${\beta}$-glucan. The biochemical properties of rEglA make it highly valuable for downstream biotechnological applications, including potential use as a feed enzyme.

The eglS gene in Bacillus amyloliquefaciens encodes an endo-β-1,4-glucanase that belongs to glycosyl hydrolase family 5. In this study, a disruption mutant of gene eglS was constructed to examine its role in bacterial adaptation in plants. The mutant TB2_k, eglS gene inactivated bacterial strain, was remarkably impaired in extracellular cellulase activity. When inoculated on Brassica campestris, the TB2_k population was reduced by more than 60% compared with the wild-type strain in the root, stem, and leaf tissues. Overexpression of eglS in the wild-type strain increased the bacteria population in the plant tissues. Further studies revealed that the transcription level of eglS was correlated with bacterial population. These data demonstrate that endo-β-1,4-glucanase of B. amyloliquefaciens is required for its optimal endophytic colonization.
