Abstract

A gene coding for endo-$\beta$-1,3-1,4-glucanase of Bacillus circulans was subcloned into Escherichia coli Ml5 using pQE30 as an expression vector. Endo-$\beta$-1,3-1,4-glucanase produced by the recombinant expression plas-mid pLQ43 was intactly purified to a single protein through a nickel-nitrilotriacetic acid (Ni-NTA) metal-affinity chromatography method. The molecular mass of the purified enzyme was estimated to be 28 kDa by SDS-PAGE. The optimum pH and temperature of the enzyme activity were pH 6.8 and $60^{\circ}C$, respectively. This enzyme was fairly stable in the pH ranging 5.5~7.5 and at the temperatures lower than $55^{\circ}C$. The enzyme appeared to be sensitive to most of the metal ions, especially to $Hg^{2＋$, and also to methanol, ethanol, isopropanol or 1-butanol at a concentration of 10%(v/v).

Bacillus circulans의 endo-$\beta$-1,3-1,4-glucanase유전자를 발현 vector pQE30에 삽입시키고 E. coli Ml5에서 발현시켜 효소를 생산.정제하였다. 생산된 endo-$\beta$-1,3-1,4-glucanase는 nickel-nitrilotriacetic acid (Ni-NTA) metal-affinity chromatography 과정을 거쳐 단일 단백질로 정제되었다. 정제된 효소의 분자량은 SDS-PAGE 전기영동법으로는 28 kDa이었다. 효소 최적 활성 pH와 온도는 각각 pH 6.8과 $60^{\circ}C$였다. 이 효소는 pH 5.5～7.5와$55^{\circ}C$ 이하의 온도에서 안정하였다. 또한 본 효소는 여러 가지 금속 이온에 의해 대부분의 활성이 억제되었고, 특히 $Hg^{2+}$에서는 강하게 효소 활성이 저해됨을 보였다. 유기 용매에 대한 활성은 10%의 methanol이나 ethanol, isopropanol, 1-butanol 에 대하여 모두 낮은 활성을 나타내었다.
