AA의 2번 위치의 수산기에 부위특이적 활성을 갖는 Paenibacillus sp. JB-13 유래 CGTase의 AA-2G 생산최적조건을 검토하였다. AA-2G 생산에 효율적인 당공여체를 조사하기 위해 다양한 포도당 중합체를 당공여체로 사용하여 AA-2G 생산성을 검토한 결과 dextrin이 가장 높은 AA-2G 생산성을 나타내었으며, 대체적으로 중합도가 높은 당을 효율적으로 이용하였다. 최적 당공여체인 dextrin을 사용하여 AA-2G 생산최적조건을 검토한 결과 반응 혼합액을 2,500 units/ml의 CGTase, 기질농도, 15%, 기질농도비(AA-g/dextrin-g) 3:2으로 조성하여, $37^{\circ}C$ , pH 6.5에서 44시간 반응 시킨 후, 1,500 units/ml의 glucoamylase를 $55^{\circ}C$에서 15시간 반응시켰을 때 AA-2G의 생산이 최대를 나타내었다.

A bacterium producing Cyclodextrin Glucanotransferase (CGTase) and Cyclodextrinase (CDase) was isolated from soil, and named as Bacillus stearothermophilus KJ16. The growth of the isolated strain occurred in two steps, and syntheses of CGTase and CDase were dependedt on the growth cycle of the cell. CGTase was constitutively synthesized during the 1st growing phase, while CDase was synthesized inducibly during the 2nd growing phase. When the midium pH was controlled at 7.0 the maximum enzyme activities of CGTase and CDase were increased by 12-fold (1300 mU/ml) and 2-fold (225 mU/ml), respectively, compared with the pH-uncontrolled batch culture. The CGTase of the isolate converted soluble starch to CDs with the ratio of $\alpha$-CD:$\beta$-CD:$\gamma$-CD=42:46:12 at $55^{\circ}C$.The optimal pH and temperature of CGTase were 6.0 and $60^{\circ}C$, respectively and the optimal pH and temperature of CDase were 6.0 and $55^{\circ}C$. The molecular weights of the purified CGTase and CDase were estimated to be 65, 000 and 68, 000 dalton, respectively. Among several substrates, $\gamma$-CD was most rapidly hydrolyzed by the purified CDase.

This research was undertaken to restore the biological activity of cyclodextrin glucanotransferase (CGTase) of Bacillus macerans origin expressed as inclusion bodies in recombinant Escherichia coli. The optimum concentration of urea used as a denaturant was 8 M. The supplementation of 0.5 M urea into a dialysis buffer increased the refolding efficiency by preventing any protein aggregation. The influence of the protein concentration, temperature, and pH were also investigated. The protein concentration was found to be the most important factor in the refolding efficiency. The optimum temperature was 15-$25^{\circ}C$ and the optimum pH was 6.0. The maximum specific activity of the CGTase refolded under the optimum conditions was 92.2 U/mg, corresponding to 72% of the native CGTase. A comparison of the secondary structure between the native and the refolded CGTase showed that the relative ratio of the $\alpha$-helix content in the native to the refolded CGTase was 1:0.82.

A novel suspension-phase enzyme reaction system for the intermolecular transglycosylation of L-ascorbic acid into 2-O-${\alpha}$-D-glucopyranosyl L-ascorbic acid supplementing extrusion starch as the glycosyl donor was developed using cyclodextrin glucanotransferase from Thermoanaerobacter sp. A high conversion yield compared to the conventional soluble-phase enzyme reaction system using cyclodextrins and soluble starch was achieved. The optimal reaction conditions were 2,000 units of cycIodextrin glucanotransferase, 20 g/l of L-ascorbic acid, and 50 g/l of extrusion starch at $50^{\circ}C$ for 24 h. The new suspension-phase enzyme reaction system also exhibited several distinct advantages other than a high conversion yield, including a lower accumulation of oligosaccharides and easily separable residual extrusion starch by centrifugation or filtration in the reaction mixture, which will facilitate the purification of 2-O-${\alpha}$-D-glucopyranosyl L-ascorbic acid. The new suspension-phase enzyme reaction system seems to be potentially applicable as the industrial process for the production of thermally and oxidatively stable 2-O-${\alpha}$-D-glucopyranosyl L-ascorbic acid.

A gene encoding a putative glycogen-debranching enzyme in Sulfolobus shibatae(abbreviated as SSGDE) was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli. The recombinant enzyme was purified to homogeneity by heat treatment and Ni-NTA affinity chromatography. The recombinant SSGDE was extremely thermostable, with an optimal temperature at $85^{\circ}C$. The enzyme had an optimum pH of 5.5 and was highly stable from pH 4.5 to 6.5. The substrate specificity of SSGDE suggested that it possesses characteristics of both amylo-1,6-glucosidase and $\alpha$-1,4-glucanotransferase. SSGDE clearly hydrolyzed pullulan to maltotriose, and $6-O-\alpha-maltosyl-\beta-cyclodextrin(G2-\beta-CD)$ to maltose and $\beta$-cyclodextrin. At the same time, SSGDE transferred maltooligosyl residues to the maltooligosaccharides employed, and maltosyl residues to $G2-\beta-CD$. The enzyme preferentially hydrolyzed amylopectin, followed in a decreasing order by glycogen, pullulan, and amylose. Therefore, the present results suggest that the glycogen-debranching enzyme from S. shibatae may have industrial application for the efficient debranching and modification of starch to dextrins at a high temperature.

Cyclodextrin glucanotransferase (CGTase) from Bacillus stearothermophilus synthesized vanillin and ethyl vanillin monoglucoside, with a series of its maltooligoglucosides by transglycosylation with dextrin as a donor, and vanillin or ethyl vanillin as an acceptor. The monoglucoside formed from reaction mixture of vanillin or ethyl vanillin by the successive actions of CGTase and Rhizopus glucoamylase was isolated by extraction with n-butanol saturated with water and silica gel column chromatography. The structure of the isolated monoglucoside was identified as vanillin- $\alpha$ -D-glucoside and ethyl vanillin- $\alpha$ -D-glucoside, respectively, by FAB-MS, UV, IR, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR spectra and products by hydrolysis with acid, $\alpha$ - and $\beta$ -glucosidases.

A material with the same high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) retention profile as authentic ascorbic acid 2-Ο-$\alpha$-glucoside (AA-2G) was detected in kimchi. This material was identified as AA-2G by testing its susceptibility to $\alpha$-glucosidase hydrolysis, the HPLC profile, and through the elementary analysis. Among several strains of bacteria isolated from fermented kimchi, four strains could produce cydodextrin glucanotransferase (CGTase) which catalyzes the transglucosylation reaction of ascorbic acid. By using starch as the glycosyl donor, AA-2G was produced as the major product through this reaction.

호알카리성 Bacillus firmus var. alkalophilus가 생산하는 cyclodextrin glucanotransferase(CGTase)를 호화시킨 팽윤감자전분을 이용한 흡착 및 탈착, 한외여과, DEAE-cellulose 이온교환 크로마토그래피, 그리고 Sephacryl HR-100을 이용한 gel filtration 등의 분리정제 과정을 통하여 정제하였다. 정제된 CGTase의 분자량은 약 77,000 Da이었으며, 등전점은 6.2～6.3이었다. 최적 효소반응 온도 및 pH는 각각 5$0^{\circ}C$ 와 6.0 였고, 열 및 pH 안정성은 5$0^{\circ}C$까지와 pH 6.0~9.5 사이였다, 정제된 CGTase는 $Ca^{2+}$ 에 의하여 열 안정성이 크게 상당히 향상되었으며 최적 효소반응 온도와 열 안정성도 55~6$0^{\circ}C$와 6$0^{\circ}C$로 증가하였다. CGTase의 기질 특이성을 검토한 결과 여러 종류의 전분들로부터 $\beta$-CD를 주로 생성하였으며, ${\gamma}$-CD도 소량 생성하였으나 $\alpha$-CD는 거의 생성되지 않았다. Sweet potato starch, corn starch, 그리고 amylopectin을 기질로 할 때 높은 CD전환율을 보였으며 $\beta$-CD와 ${\gamma}$-CB의 생성비가 5.8~8.4:1로서 $\beta$-CD를 고 수율로 생산하는 전형적인 $\beta$-type의 CGTase였다. 또한 본 효소의 최적 CD 생산조건은 기질농도 5.0%(w/v) corn starch, 효소첨가량 25 unit/g of starch로서 반응 8시간 후의 전체 CD량도 약 25 g/l로서 전환율은 50%였고, 이 때 $\beta$-CD농도는 21 g/l로서 전체 CD 중 84% 였다.

We first confirmed the involvement of MalQ (4-${\alpha}$-glucanotransferase) in Escherichia coli glycogen breakdown by both in vitro and in vivo assays. In vivo tests of the knock-out mutant, ${\Delta}malQ$, showed that glycogen slowly decreased after the stationary phase compared to the wild-type strain, indicating the involvement of MalQ in glycogen degradation. In vitro assays incubated glycogen-mimic substrate, branched cyclodextrin (maltotetraosyl-${\beta}$-CD: G4-${\beta}$-CD) and glycogen phosphorylase (GlgP)-limit dextrin with a set of variable combinations of E. coli enzymes, including GlgX (debranching enzyme), MalP (maltodextrin phosphorylase), GlgP and MalQ. In the absence of GlgP, the reaction of MalP, GlgX and MalQ on substrates produced glucose-1-P (glc-1-P) 3-fold faster than without MalQ. The results revealed that MalQ led to disproportionate G4 released from GlgP-limit dextrin to another acceptor, G4, which is phosphorylated by MalP. In contrast, in the absence of MalP, the reaction of GlgX, GlgP and MalQ resulted in a 1.6-fold increased production of glc-1-P than without MalQ. The result indicated that the G4-branch chains of GlgP-limit dextrin are released by GlgX hydrolysis, and then MalQ transfers the resultant G4 either to another branch chain or another G4 that can immediately be phosphorylated into glc-1-P by GlgP. Thus, we propose a model of two possible MalQ-involved pathways in glycogen degradation. The operon structure of MalP-defecting enterobacteria strongly supports the involvement of MalQ and GlgP as alternative pathways in glycogen degradation.
