چکیده

We purified an acid trehalase (EC 3.2.1.28, alpha,alpha'-trehalose glucohydrolase) from an acidophilic bacterium, Acidobacterium capsulatum. The enzyme was homogeneous based on polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, and was composed of a single polypeptide chain with a molecular mass of 57 kDa. Maximum trehalase activity was observed at pH 2.5. The acid trehalase exhibited an apparent K(m) of 1.0 mM for trehalose at 30 degrees C and pH 3.0. The trehalase was located in the periplasmic space. The activity of the enzyme was activated by 1.0 mM MnCl2 or CoCl2, and inhibited by 1.0 mM PbCl2, HgCl2, NiCl2, p-chloromercuribenzoate, N-ethylmaleimide, monoiodoacetate, or EDTA. The enzyme showed high specificity for trehalose. It was found that an equimolar mixture of alpha-D-glucose and beta-D-glucose was formed on hydrolysis of trehalose by the trehalase.

Identification and characterization of the gene encoding the Acidobacterium capsulatum major sigma factor.

Acidobacterium capsulatum is an acid-tolerant, encapsulated, Gram-negative member of the ubiquitous, but poorly understood Acidobacteria phylum. Little is known about the genetics and regulatory mechanisms of A. capsulatum. To begin to address this gap, we identified the gene encoding the A. capsulatum major sigma factor, rpoD, which encodes a 597-amino acid protein with a predicted sequence hi...

Physiological implications of trehalase from Phaseolus vulgaris root nodules: partial purification and characterization.

The purification and characterization of trehalase from common bean nodules as well as the role of this enzyme on growth, nodulation nitrogen fixation by examining the effects of the trehalase inhibitor validamycin A, was studied. Validamycin A did not affect plant and nodule mass, neither root trehalase and nitrogenase activity; however this treatment applied at the time of sowing increased no...

Purification and Characterization of a Novel Thermostable and Acid Stable α-Amylase from Bacillus Sp. Iranian S1

This study reports the purification and biochemical characterization of thermostable and acidic-pH-stable α-amylase from Bacillus sp. Iranian S1 isolated from the desert soil (Gandom-e-Beryan in Lut desert, Iran). Amylase production was found to be growth associated. Maximum enzyme production was in exponential phase with activity 2.93 U ml-1 at 50°C and pH 5. The enzyme was purified by isoprop...

Purification and characterization of an acidic, thermophilic phytase from a newly isolated Geobacillus stearothermophilus strain DM12

Microbial phytases were applied mainly to animal and human foodstuffs in order to improvemineral bioavailability and food processing. In addition, phytases have potentialbiotechnological application in various other fields, such as environmental protection,aquaculture and agriculture. Bacillus sp. DM12, an isolate from a hot spring, produces phytase,which catalyzes the hydrolysis of phytic acid...

Discovery of a novel (R)-selective bacterial hydroxynitrile lyase from Acidobacterium capsulatum

Hydroxynitrile lyases (HNLs) are powerful carbon-carbon bond forming enzymes. The reverse of their natural reaction - the stereoselective addition of hydrogen cyanide (HCN) to carbonyls - yields chiral cyanohydrins, versatile building blocks for the pharmaceutical and chemical industry. Recently, bacterial HNLs have been discovered, which represent a completely new type: HNLs with a cupin fold....
