Pectate lyase from alkalitolerant Bacillus sp. YA-14 is an endo-type pectate lyase which acts randomly at the $\alpha$-1, 4-galacturonan linkage, and requires calcium or strontium ions for its activity. The enzyme is active on low methyl esterified pectin, but the activity toward a high methyl esterified substrate is reduced. The apparent Km's of the enzyme toward sodium polygalacturonic acid, polygalacturonic acid, and various pectins such as apple pectin, citrus pectin, and genu pectin are 0.826 mg/ml, 0.685 mg/ml, and 1.14 mg/ml, respectively. The enzyme activity is inhibited by SDS, urea, and sodium azide, but not by various reducing reagents, such as $\beta$-mercaptoethanol, Na-thiosulfate, Na-sulfate, cystein, and L-ascorbic acid. The enzyme is inactivated by N-bromosuccinimide, $I_2, H_2O_2$. PMSF, and iodoacetate. Judging from the results of their inhibition types, we speculate that tryptophan and serine residues are directly involved in enzyme activity, while tyrosine and methionine residues are indirectly involved in its activity.

알칼리내성 Bacillus sp. Ya-14 유래의 pectate lyase 유전자를 함유한 재조합균주로부터 affinity method, CM-cellose column chromatography와 gel filtration을 통해 효소를 정제하였으며 정제효소의 수율은 10.2, 정제도는 258배였다. 효소의 최적활성 pH는 10.0이었고 pH4.0-10.0까지의 범위에서 안정성이 있었으며, 최적활성온도는 $60^{\circ}C$이고 $50^{\circ}C$까지 열안정성이 있으며, SDS-PASGE에 의해 추정된 분자량은 43KDa 이었다. 아미노산 조정 분석 결과 polar, basic 아미노산의 함량이 높고 특히 Ser, Gly, Tyr의 함량이 높았으며, 정제효소의 N-terminal은 Ala-Asp-Leu-Gly-His-Gln-Thr의 아미노산 서열이었다.
