Abstract
|
|
|
Enzymatic properties and substrate specificity of recombinant ¥â-glycosidases from a hyperthermophilic archaeon, Sulfolobus shibatae (rSSG), were analyzed. rSSG showed its optimum temperature and pH at 95oC and pH 5.0, respectively. Thermal inactivation of rSSG showed that its half-life of enzymatic activity at 75oC was 15 h whereas it drastically decreased to 3.9 min at 95oC. The addition of 10 mM of MnCl2 enhanced the hydrolysis activity of rSSG up to 23% whereas most metal ions did not show any considerable effect. Dithiothreitol (DTT) and 2-mercaptoethanol exhibited significant influence on the increase of the hydrolysis activity of rSSG. rSSG apparently preferred laminaribiose (¥â1¡æ3Glc), followed by sophorose (¥â1¡æ2Glc), gentiobiose (¥â1¡æ6Glc), and cellobiose (¥â1¡æ4Glc). Various intermolecular transfer products were formed by rSSG in the lactose reaction, indicating that rSSG prefers lactose as a good acceptor as well as a donor. The strong intermolecular transglycosylation activity of rSSG can be applied in making functional oligosaccharides.
