Abstract

One of the endoglucanases, F-I-III, was purified from the culture filtrate of T. sp. C-4 through procedures including chromatography on Sephacryl S-200, DEAE-Sepharose A-50, and Chromatofocusing on Mono-P (FPLC). The molecular weight of the enzyme was determined to be about 56,000 Da by SDS-PAGE, and pI of 4.9 by analytical isoelectric focusing. F-I-III showed the highest enzyme activity at $55^{\circ}C$, and the pH optimum of the enzyme was 5.0. There was no loss of activity when the enzyme was incubated at $50^{\circ}C$ for 24 hours. The specific activity of the enzyme F-I-III toward the CMC was 315.4 U/mg. The Km value for $PNPG_2$ of F-I-III was 2.69 mM. N-terminal sequence of F-I-III was analyzed to be QPGTSTPEVHPKKLTTYK. It showed $95\%$ of homology to that of EGI from T. reesei. The presence of some metal ions (1 mM) had only a little effect on CMCase activity. The treatment of the reducing agents resulted in the increase of endoglucanase activity.

국내에서 분리된 우수섬유소분해 균주인 Trichodema sp. C-4가 생성하는 endoglucanase 중하나를 $(NH_4)_2SO_4$ 침전, Sephacryl S-200 gel filtration, DEAE-Sepharose A-50 ion exchange, Mono-P chromatofocusing (EPLC)의 단계로 정제하고 이를 F-I-III라 명명하였다. 분리된 효소 F-I-III는 분자량 56,000Da, 둥전점 4.9로 측정된 단일 단백질이었다. F-I-III는 $55^{\circ}C$에서 가장 높은 활성을 보였으며, pH 5.0이 반응 최적 조건이었다. $50^{\circ}C$에서 24시간 동안 안정하였으며, pH 4-7의 범위에서 안정하였다. CMC에 대한 비활성은 315.4U/mg 이었으며, PNPG2에 대한 Km 값은 2.69 mM이었다. 이 효소는 같은 균주에서 분리한 다른 endoglucanase와 exoglucanase를 섞었을 때 결정형 섬유소인 Avicel분해에 대한 상승효과를 보였다. $Mg^{2+},\;CO^{2+},\;Fe^{2+},\;Ca^{2+},\;CS^+,\;Li^+$ 등의 이온은 1 mM의 농도에서 효소의 활성에 큰 영향을 미치지 않았고, 1 mM의 환원제 (cystein, EDIA, \beta-mercaptoethanol, dithiothreitol(DTT), L-ascorbic acid)들은 효소의 활성을 증가시켰다. E-I-III의 N-말단 서열을 분석하여 QPGTSTPEVHPKKLTTYK의 서열을 얻었다. 이는 Trichodema reesei의 endoglucanase인 EGI과 $95\%$의 유사도를나타내었다. 분리된 효소 F-I-III는 높은 비활성을 가지고 있어서 활용가치가 높을 것으로 사료되었다.
