The extracellular invertase (β-D-fructofuranoside fructohydrolase, EC 3.2.1.26) was isolated and characterized from the hypocotyls of mung bean (Phaseolus radiatus L.). The enzyme was purified to apparent homogeneity by ammonium sulfate fractionation and sequential chromatography over diethylaminoethyl (DEAE)-cellulose anion exchange, Concanavalin (Con) A-Sepharose 4B affinity and Sephadex G-200. The overall purification was about 77-fold with a recovery of about 11%. The finally purified enzyme exhibited a specific activity of about 113 μ㏖ of glucose produced ㎎^-1 protein min^-1 at pH 5.0 and appeared to be a single protein by nondenaturing polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)-PAGE. The enzyme had the native molecular mass of 134 kD and subunit molecular weight of 67 kD as estimated by Sephadex G-200 chromatography and SDS-PAGE, respectively, suggesting that the enzyme was composed of homodimeric proteins. On the other hand, the enzyme appeared to be a glycoprotein containing mannosyl residues on the basis of its ability to interact specifically with the immobilized Con A and the separability of invertase-Con A complex by methyl-α-D-mannopyranoside. The enzyme had a K_m for sucrose of 3.4 mM and its pH optimum of 4.0. The enzyme showed highest enzyme activity with sucrose as substrate. Raffinose and cellobiose were hydrolyzed at a low rate, maltose and lactose were not cleaved by the enzyme. These results indicate the extracellular invertase is a β-fructofuranosidase.
