Pseudomonas sp. AC-711이 생산하는 알칼리성 Cellulase의 부분정제 및 효소적 성질

Partial purification and Properties of Alkaline Cellulase from Pseudomonas sp. AC-711

토양으로부터 분리한 호알칼리성 세균 Pseudomonas sp. AC-711 균주의 배양여액으로 부터 황산암모늄 침전, DEAE-Sephadex A50 이온교환 크로마토그래피 및 Sephadex G-150 겔 여과의 과정을 거쳐 비활성이 9.4배 향상된 정제효소를 얻었다. 정제효소를 전기이동법으로 확인한 결과 미량의 타효소 성분이 혼재되어 있는 부분정제 효소임을 확인하였으며, 주성분의 분자량은 46,000이었다. 정제효소의 CMC에 대한 Km값은 $15.4mg\;mL^{-1}$ 이었으며, Vmax 값은 $4.17{\mu}moles\;mL^{-1}\;min^{-1}$이었다. 정제 효소의 열 및 안정성의 범위는 $60^{\circ}C$ 이하, pH 4.0~11.0 이었으며 작용최적 온도는 $60^{\circ}C$, 최적 pH는 8.0이었다. 정제효소의 CMCase 활성도는 0.05%의 ${\alpha}$-Olefin sulfonate, Linear alkylbenzene sulfonate, Sodium doecylsulfate, hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide 및 Tween 80등의 계면활성제에 영향을 받지 않았으며, $Ca^{2+}$, $Cu^{2+}$, $Co^{2+}$등에 의하여 부활되는 반면에 $Hg^{2+}$ and $Zn^{2+}$등은 효소활성을 저해하였다. 또한 정제효소는 결정형 섬유소보다 CMC에 대한 활성이 높았고, 낮은 수준의 xylan및 pNPG에 대한 분해력을 가지고 있으며, pectin과 inulin에는 작용하지 못하였다.

The cellulase components were partially purified from the culture filtrate of the alkalophilic bacterium Pseudomonas sp. AC-711 and its enzymatic properties were characterized. The specific activity of the purified major enzyme component was 3.5 units/mg protein as carboxymethyl cellulase and the yield was 23% of the total activity of the culture broth. The molecular weight of the component was 46,000 and the Km and Vmax on CMC were determined as $15.4mg\;mL^{-1}$ and $4.17{\mu}moles\;mL^{-1}\;min^{-1}$, respectively. The enzyme was stable at the temperatures below $60^{\circ}C$ and at the pH range of 4.0~11.0, and the optimal temperature and pH were $60^{\circ}C$ and pH 8.0, respectively. The enzyme activity was not significantly affected by the common surfactants (concentration: 0.05%) such as ${\alpha}$-olefin sulfonate, linear alkylbenzene sulfonate, sodium dodecyl sulfonate, hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide and Tween 80. The enzyme was activated by the metal ions such as $Ca^{2+}$, $Cu^{2+}$, $Co^{2+}$, whereas inhibited by $Hg^{2+}$ and $Zn^{2+}$. The enzyme exhibited relatively high activity toward amorphous CMC as compared with crystalline substrates such as filter paper and avicel.
