A novel fungal strain Aspergillus sp. L117 that produced acid-stable and thermostable phytase was isolated on basis of the clearing zone on PSM plate and the ability of Na-phytate hydrolysis. The phytase of isolate showed a 3-fold higher activity than that of A. ficuun NRRL3135. The Aspergillus sp. L117 produced maximal level of phytase at initial pH of 5.0 and $30^{\circ}C$. The optimal pH and temperature for phytase activity were 5.5 and $50^{\circ}C$, respectively. The phytase showed totally stable activity after 20 min of exposure between 30 and $90^{\circ}C$, and even at $100^{\circ}C$. The highest level of residual phytase activity was obtained at pH 5.5, and still retained the stability at the broadest pH ranges (2.0 to 7.0) of all the aforementioned phytases. Storage stability of phytase was preserved over 96% of initial activities for 60 days at 4, -20, and $-70^{\circ}C$ and to retain even 70% of the initial activity at room temperature.

Phytase(myo-inositol hexakisphosphate phosphohydro-lase;EC 3.1.3.8)는 흰주 소장 점막으로 부터 분리${\cdot}$정제 하였다. 이 정제된 효소를 Sephacryl S-200 gel filtration방법으로 측정한 분자량으니 160kDa이고, 순도 및 이 효소의 서브유니트를 SDS-polycrylamide gel전기영동법(SDS-PAGE)으로 조사한 결과 서브유니트 구조는 분자량이 10kDa와 90kDa으로 구성된 hetrodimer(이종이량체)임을 알 수 있었다. 그리고 $ MgCl_{2}$ 존재 하에서는 효소 활성이 증가하나 $ZnCl_{2}$, $MnCl_{2}$, 및 EDTA존재 하에서는 효소 활성이 저해되었다. 기질 트이성과 pH범위에서 기질인 phytic acid(inositol-hexakispho-sphate)에 대해 높은 친화력을 보였다. Phytic acid에 대한 Km값은 pH 7.4에서 0.31mM이다. 따라서 흰쥐의 소장 점막 phytase는 주로 inositol의 대사계에서 중요한 역할을 하는 것으로 생각된다.

Phytase는 phytic acid (myo-inositol 1,2,3,4,5,6 hexakis dihydrogen phosphate)를 분해하여 phosphate와 phosphate inositol를 만드는 효소이다. Phytic acid는 가축의 사료로 사용하고 있는 곡물의 경우 인함량의 50∼70％를 차지하지만, 물고기, 닭, 돼지와 같은 단위동물은 생체 내에 phytic acid를 분해하는 phytase가 존재하지 않기 때문에 식물성 인의 이용률이 극히 낮아서 성장에 필요한 인을 무기물 형태로 외부에서 따로 충분히 공급해줘야만 한다. (중략)

Individual and combined supplementation of phosphorus-adequate, wheat-based broiler diets with exogenous phytase and xylanase was evaluated in three experiments. The effects of the enzyme combination in lysine-eficient diets containing wheat and sorghum were more pronounced than those of the individual feed enzymes. The inclusion of phytase plus xylanase improved (p<0.05) weight gains (7.3%) and feed efficiency (7.0%) of broilers (7-28 days post-hatch) and apparent metabolisable energy (AME) by 0.76 MJ/kg DM. Phytase plus xylanase increased (p<0.05) the overall, apparent ileal digestibility of amino acids by 4.5% (0.781 to 0.816); this was greater than the responses to either phytase (3.6%; 0.781 to 0.809) or xylanase (0.7%; 0.781 to 0.784). Absolute increases in amino acid digestibility with the combination exceeded the sum of the individual increases generated by phytase and xylanase for alanine, aspartic acid, glutamic acid, glycine, histidine, isoleucine, phenylalanine, threonine, tyrosine and valine. These synergistic responses may have resulted from phytase and xylanase having complementary modes of action for enhancing amino acid digestibilities and/or facilitating substrate access. The two remaining experiments were almost identical except wheat used in Experiment 2 had a higher phytate concentration and a lower estimated AME content than wheat used in Experiment 3. Individually, phytase and xylanase were generally more effective in Experiment 2, which probably reflects the higher dietary substrate levels present. Phytase plus xylanase increased (p<0.05) gains (15.4%) and feed efficiency (7.0%) of broiler chicks from 4-24 days post-hatch in Experiment 2; whereas, in Experiment 3, the combination increased (p<0.05) growth to a lesser extent (5.6%) and had no effect on feed efficiency. This difference in performance responses appeared to be 'rotein driven'as the combination increased (p<0.05) nitrogen retention in Experiment 2 but not in Experiment 3; whereas phytase plus xylanase significantly increased AME in both experiments. In Experiments 2 and 3 the combined inclusion levels of phytase and xylanase were lower that the individual additions, which demonstrates the benefits of simultaneously including phytase and xylanase in wheat-based poultry diets.

토양으로부터 phytate 분해능이 뛰어난 phytate를 생산하는 균주를 분리 동정한 결과 Escherichia coli로 동정되었고, E. coli WC7으로 명명하였다. 이 균주가 생산하는 phytase를 ammonium sulfate 침전, Phenyl-Sepharose, DEAE-Sepharose, CM-Sepharose, Resoure S, Mono S 컬럼 크로마토그래피를 이용한 분리정제를 수행하여 정제도 1,250 배, 수율 30%로 정제하였고 640 Unit/mg의 비활성을 얻었다. 또한 정제된 phytase는 SDS-PAGE에서 분자량 45kDa인 단일 subunit로 이루어진 단일효소임을 확인하였다. E. coli WC7 phytase의 최적 pH는 5.0, 최적 온도는 $60^{\circ}C$였으며, pH 2.0-12까지 안정하였다. 열안정성에서는 $60^{\circ}C$이상에서 급격한 활성의 감소를 보여 초기 활성의 20% 활성만을 나타내었다. Phytase의 N-말단 아미노산 서열은 Ser-Glu-Pro-Clu-Leu-Lys-Leu-Glu-Ser-Val-Val이었으며 이는 E. coli 유래의 pH 2.5 acid phosphatase와 아주 큰 유사성을 보였다. S. coli WC7 phytase의 유전자를 확보하기 위해 E. coli acid phosphatase의 DNA sequence를 바탕으로 한 primer들을 이용하여 PCR 클로닝을 수행하였으며 증폭된 PCR fragment를 pUC19 벡터에 클로닝 하고 DNA 염기서열을 결정하였다. 그 결과 1.2 kbp의 WC7 phytase 유전자의 ORF를 확인하였으며 432개의 아미노산으로 이루어진 분자량 44,716 Da의 단백질을 확인 할 수 있었다. 대부분의 acid phosphatase 효소들의 active site라고 추정되는 active site motif인 RHGXRXP가 N-terminal 쪽에 존재하고 있었다. pUEP를 이용하여 E. coli XL1-Blue에서 phytase를 발현시켰을 때 효소의 생산량이 17.5 U/ml로서 원균주의 23배 활성을 가졌으며,효소의 비활성 및 pH 안정성 측면에서 높은 산업적 이용가능성을 볼 때 사료첨가제 효소로의 개발을 기대할 수 있을 것이라 판단된다.

An extracellular acid phytase from Pseudomonas fragi Y9451 was purified to homogeneity from the culture supernatant by salting-out, DEAE-Sepharose column chromatography, CM-Sepharose column chromatography, and Sephacryl S-300 gel filtration. The molecular weight of the purified enzyme was estimated to be 74 kDa on gel filtration and 54 kDa and 25 kDa on SDS-PAGE, suggesting that the native enzyme was a heterodimeric protein. The purified enzyme was most active at pH 4.5 and $70^{\circ}C$ and fairly stable from pH 4.0- 6.0. It was specific for phytate and exhibited a $K_{m}$ value of 27 mM (sodium phytate, pH 4.5, $50^{\circ}C$). The phytase activity was strongly inhibited (at maximum by 87%) by $Fe^{3+},\;Cu^{2+},\;Fe^{2+}$, and $Zn^{2+}$ at 5 mM concentration, and greatly inhibited by $Ca^{2+}$ at 10 mM concentration. However, EDTA notably stimulated the phytase activity at 10 mM concentration. With optimum pH and stability, Pseudomonas fragi phytase could be a potential candidate for animal feed applications.

Phytases are enzymes that can hydrolyze phytate and its salts into inositol and phosphoric acid, and have been utilized to increase the availability of nutrients in animal feed and mitigate environmental pollution. However, the enzymes' low thermostability has limited their application during the feed palletization process. In this study, a combination of B-value calculation and protein surface engineering was applied to rationally evolve the heat stability of Escherichia coli phytase. After systematic alignment and mining for homologs of the original phytase from the histidine acid phosphatase family, the two models 1DKL and 1DKQ were chosen and used to identify the B-values and spatial distribution of key amino acid residues. Consequently, thirteen potential amino acid mutation sites were obtained and categorized into six domains to construct mutant libraries. After five rounds of iterative mutation screening, the thermophilic phytase mutant P56214 was finally yielded. Compared with the wild-type, the residual enzyme activity of the mutant increased from 20% to 75% after incubation at $90^{\circ}C$ for 5 min. Compared with traditional methods, the rational engineering approach used in this study reduces the screening workload and provides a reference for future applications of phytases as green catalysts.

The soft rot bacterium Pectobacterium wasabiae is an economically important pathogen of many crops. A new phytase gene, appA, was cloned from P. wasabiae by degenerate PCR and TAIL-PCR. The open reading frame of appA consisted of 1,302 bp encoding 433 amino acid residues, including 27 residues of a putative signal peptide. The mature protein had a molecular mass of 45 kDa and a theoretical pI of 5.5. The amino acid sequence contained the conserved active site residues RHGXRXP and HDTN of typical histidine acid phosphatases, and showed the highest identity of 48.5% to PhyM from Pseudomonas syringae. The gene fragment encoding the mature phytase was expressed in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3), and the purified recombinant phytase had a specific activity of 1,072$\pm$47 U/mg for phytate substrate. The optimum pH and temperature for the purified phytase were pH 5.0 and 50$^{\circ}C$, respectively. The $K_m$ value was 0.17 mM, with a $V_{max}$ of 1,714 $\mu$mol/min/mg. This is the first report of the identification and isolation of phytase from Pectobacterium.
