Abstract
D-Xylose isomerase produced by Lactococcus sp. JK-8, isolated from kimchi, was purified 17-fold of homogeneity, and its physicochemical properties were determined. Although the N-terminal amino acid sequence of D-xylose isomerase was analysed to Ala-Tyr-Phe-Asn-Asp-Ile-Ala-Pro-Ile-Lys, it was not similar to that of Lactobacillus enzyme. The molecular weight of the purified enzyme was estimated to be 180 kDa by gel filtration, 45 kDa by SDS-PAGE and the enzyme was homotetramer. The optimum pH of the enzyme was around 7 and stable between pH 6 and 8. The optimum reaction temperature was 7$0^{\circ}C$ and stable up to 7$0^{\circ}C$ in the presence of 1 mM $Mn^{2+}$. Like other D-xylose isomerases, this enzyme required divalent cation, such as $Mg^{2+}$, $Co^{2+}$, or $Mn^{2+}$ for the activity and thermostability. $Mn^{2+}$was the best activator. Substrate specificity studies showed that this enzyme was highly active on D-xylose. The enzyme had an isoelectric point of 4.8, and fm values for D-xylose was 5.9 mM.
