Abstract
|
|
|
An acidic protein, RCG-2, containing chitinase and ¥â-1,3-glucanase activity conccurrently was purified from rice leaves by chromatofocusing and gel slicing. The purified enzyme gave a single band on polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and its molecular weight was appeared to be 29.7 kd using SDS-PAGE. This enzyme also had lysozyme activity. The optimal temperature for both enzyme activities was 40¡É, optimal pH were 4.0 for chitinase activity and 7.0 for ¥â-1,3-glucanase activity. K_M and V_(max) values for chitinase were 7.86 mM and 0.025 ¥ìM/min., and those for ¥â-1,3-glucanase were 5.95 mM and 0.16 ¥ìM/min. respectively. TLC analysis of the enzyme hydrolysates of chitooligosaccharides indicated that this enzyme acts as endochitinase.
