Abstract

An extracellular chitinase was purified from the culture fluid of Streptomyces sp. 115-5, and its inhibition mechanism by end product was studied. The activity of chitinase was suppressed by the reducing sugar as the reaction proceeded, and the activity was inhibited by the addition of D-glucose. Besides D-glucose, the rate of chitin hydrolysis was inhibited by D-glucuronic acid, D-sorbitol and D-xylose in the reaction system of the enzyme. it was found that the hydroxyl groups at the C-2, C-3 and C-4 position of D-glucose molecule play an important role in the inhibition of the chitinase activity. D-glucose was found to inhibit the enzyme activity by mixed type of competitive and non-competitive mode.

진균류의 세포벽제거 및 이에 따른 protoplast생성 등에 많이 이용되어지고 있는 chitinase를 Streptomyces sp. 115-5 균주로부터 생산하여 순수 정제한 다음, 이 chitinase의 작용을 저해하는 포도당의 저해양상을 조사하였다. 포도당 외에 D-glucuronic acid, D-sorbitol및 D-xylose등도 chitinase의 활성을 저해하였다. 그런고로, 포도당 분자에 의한chitinase의 활성 저해 효과에는 위의 분자들의 공통부분인 2번, 3번 및 4번 탄소의 hydroxyl group들의 구조위치가 중요한 영향을 가진다는 것을 알 수 있다. 그리고 포도당에 의한 chitinase의 저해양상은 competitive inhibition 과 non-competitive inhibition 과의 혼합 저해형으로 나타났다.
