Penicillium sp. CB-20이 생성하는 Polygalacturonase의 생산 및 정제

Production and Purification of Polygalacturonase from Penicillium sp. CB-20

Penicillium sp. CB-20의 polygalacturonase 생성을 위한 최적조건은 탄소원으로 펙틴을 사용하여 16 시간 배양시 최대 활성을 나타내었으며, Sephadex G-25, G-75 및 G-150을 사용한 gel filtration과 DEAE-cellulose, DEAE-Sephadex A-50에 의 한 ion exchange chromatography를 통하여 이 효소를 약 30배 가량 정제할 수 있었고, 수율은 2.31%였다. 정제효소는 polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis에 의하여 단일 밴드로 확인 되었으며, 분자량은 SDS PAGE에 의하여 21,000 정도로 측정되었다. 효소의 결정구조는 마름모꼴을 형성하고 있었으며 아미노산 조성은 17종류로써 glutamic acid, glycine, hlstidine의 함량이 비교적 많았다.

Penicillium sp. CB-20 was selected for its strong polygalacturonase activity among various strains of molds found in soil. It was found that the production of polygalacturonase reached to maximum when on the wheat bran medium containing pectin as carbon source, the strain was cultured for 60 hours at 3$0^{\circ}C$. The enzyme was purified to 29.21 food by ammonium sulfate treatment, Sephadex G-25, G-15, G-150 gel filtration, DEAE-cellulose and DEAE-Sephadex A-50 ion-exchange chromatography. Yield of the enzyme purification was 2.31 %. When the purified enzyme was applied to sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, the molecular weight was estimated 21, 000. The amino acid composition indicated relatively high contents of gultamic acid, glycine and histidine.
