The $\alpha$-L-arabinofuranosidase (Arfase) gene of Bacillus stearothermophilus No. 236 was cloned and sequenced. The ORF of the gene, designated arfA, encoded a 507 -residue polypeptide with calculated molecular mass of 57 kDa. The Arfase produced by a recombinant Escherichia coli strain containing the arfA gene was purified to apparent homogeneity and characterized. The molecular mass of the Arfase determined by SDS-PAGE was 60 kDa. However, according to gel filtration, it was estimated to be approximately 190 kDa. These results indicated that the functional form of the Arfase is trimeric. The optimal pH and temperature for the enzyme activity were pH 6.5 and $55^{\circ}C$, respectively. The half-life of the enzyme at $60^{\circ}C$ was about 6 h. Kinetic experiments at $45^{\circ}C$ with pNPM (p-nitrophenyl $\alpha$-L-arabinofuranoside) as a substrate gave the $K_m and V_{max}$ values of 1.19 mM and 26.1 U/ mg, respectively. When the enzyme was combined with Bacillus stearothermophilus No. 236 endoxylanase and $\beta$-xylosidase, it hydrolyzed arabinoxylan into L-arabinose and xylose more efficiently than Arfase alone. This synergistic effect suggested that the complete hydrolysis of xylan with large amounts of arabinose side chains required Arfase as well as endoxylanase and $\beta$-xylosidase.

Agarase genes of non-marine agarolytic bacterium Cellvibrio sp. were cloned into Escherichia coli and one of the genes obtained using HindIII was sequenced. From nucleotide and putative amino acid sequences (713 aa, molecular mass; 78,771 Da) of the gene, designated as agarase AgaA, the gene was found to have closest homology to the Saccharophagus degradans (formerly, Microbulbifer degradans) 2-40 aga86 gene, belonging to glycoside hydrolase family 86 (GH86). The putative protein appears to be a non-secreted protein because of the absence of a signal sequence. The recombinant protein was purified with anion exchange and gel filtration columns after ammonium sulfate precipitation and the molecular mass (79 kDa) determined by SDS-PAGE and subsequent enzymography agreed with the estimated value, suggesting that the enzyme is monomeric. The optimal pH and temperature for enzymatic hydrolysis of agarose were 6.5 and $42.5^{\circ}C$, and the enzyme was stable under $40^{\circ}C$. LC-MS and NMR analyses revealed production of a neoagarobiose and a neoagarotetraose with a small amount of a neoagarohexaose during hydrolysis of agarose, indicating that the enzyme is a ${\beta}$-agarase.

In the present study, we investigated to the antioxidant and angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory activities of the northern shrimp (Pandalus borealis) by-products (PBB) hydrolysates prepared by enzymatic hydrolysis. The antioxidant and ACE inhibitory activities of five enzymatic hydrolysates (alcalase, protamex, flavourzyme, papain, and trypsin) of PBB were evaluated by the 2, 2'-azino-bis [3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid] ($ABTS^+$) radical scavenging and superoxide dismutase (SOD)-like activities, reducing power and Li's method for ACE inhibitory activity. Of these PBB hydrolysates, the protamex hydrolysate exhibited the most potent ACE inhibitory activity with $IC_{50}$ value of $0.08{\pm}0.00mg/mL$. The PBB protamex hydrolysate was fractionated by two ultrafiltration membranes with 3 and 10 kDa (below 3 kDa, between 3 and 10 kDa, and above 10 kDa). These three fractions were evaluated for the total amino acids composition, antioxidant, and ACE inhibitory activities. Among these fractions, the < 3 kDa and 3-10 kDa fractions showed more potent $ABTS^+$ radical scavenging activity than that of > 10 kDa fraction, while the > 10 kDa fraction exhibited the significant reducing power than others. In addition, 3-10 kDa and > 10 kDa fractions showed the significant ACE inhibitory activity. These results suggested that the high molecular weight enzymatic hydrolysate derived from PBB could be used for control oxidative stress and prevent hypertension.

Xylan를 기질로 직접 alcohol 발효를 목적으로 각종 토양을 균원시료로 하여 xyla를 분해, 자화하는 효모를 분리하여 동정하고 몇 가지 중요한 성질을 조사하였다. Xylanase를 생산하는 XB-33 효모는 Cryptococcus ater 유연균으로 동정되었다. XB-33 균주의 xylanase 생성은 xylan에 의해 induction되고 xylose나 glucose에 의해서는 repression되었다. 또한 xylan 농도는 1% 수준에서 가장 높았으며, 배양일수 6일째 그 황성이 최고치를 나타내었다. XB-33 균주가 생성 분비하는 xylanase를 DEAE-Sephadex A50으로 colum chromatography 하여 부분 정제한 후 이의 생화학적 특성을 검토한 결과 xylanase의 최적작용 pH는 5.0, 최적 온도는 5$0^{\circ}C$였으며 pH 5.0~7.0에서와 온도 6$0^{\circ}C$ 이하에서 의 효소활성은 비교적 안정하였고 xylan에 대한 xylanase의 작용양상을 조사하기 위해 TLC한 결과 최종산물로서 xylose가 확인되었다. 그리고 xylanase의 xylan에 대한 Km치는 20(mg/ml)이었다.

Thermotoga neapolitana $\beta$-glucosidase (BglA) was subjected to site-directed mutagenesis in an effort to increase its ability to synthesize arbutin derivatives by transglycosylation. The transglycosylation reaction of the wild-type enzyme displays major ${\beta}(1,6)$ and minor ${\beta}(1,3)$ or ${\beta}(1,4)$ regioselectivity. The three mutants, N291T, F412S, and N291T/F412S, increased the ratio of transglycosylation/hydrolysis compared with the wild-type enzyme when pNPG and arbutin were used as a substrate and an acceptor, respectively. N291T and N219T/F412S had transglycosylation/hydrolysis ratios about 3- and 8-fold higher, respectively, than that of the wild-type enzyme. This is due to the decreased hydrolytic activity of the mutant rather than increased transglycosylation activity. Interestingly, N291T showed altered regioselectivity, as well as increased transglycosylation products. TLC analysis of the transglycosylation products indicated that N291T retained its ${\beta}(1,3)$ regioselectivity, but lost its ${\beta}(1,4)$ and ${\beta}(1,6)$ regioselectivity. The altered regioselectivity of N291T using two other acceptors, esculin and salicin, was also confirmed by TLC. The major transglycosylation products of the wild type and N291T mutant were clearly different. This result suggests that Asn-291 is highly involved in the catalytic mechanism by controlling the transglycosylation reaction.

This study was carried out to know the possibility of simultaneous utilization of laccase from white-rot fungus with cellulase on enzymatic hydrolysis of cellulosic substrate from autohydrolyzed oak wood. Laccases from 3 white-rot fungi, Pleurotus ostreatus. Ganoderma lucidum, and Phanerochaete chrysosporium, were isolated, purified and measured their activities. The highest activity was shown in Pleurotus ostreatus and the lowest in Phanerochaete chrysosporium. Laccase from Pleurotus ostreatus has optimum pH of 5.94, Km value of 3.209 mM and appeared to be stable at relatively wide pH range, 4.7-8.72. Temperature stability showed that 60% activity was preserved after 40 minutes at $50^{\circ}C$. Laccase from Ganoderma lucidum reached to the maximum activity during 15-20 day incubation. This enzyme has optimum pH of 6.45, Km value of 6.71 mM and pH range of 5.0-9.0 for stabilization. 95% activity was preserved at $30^{\circ}C$ and 58% activity at $50^{\circ}C$. Concerned to the enzymatic hydrolysis of cellulosic substrate with both enzymes, cellulase and laccase, simultaneously, mixed culture filtrates and mycellium extracts were shown higher hydrolysis rates than those of Trichoderma viride. There were no significant differences in the extent of hydrolysis among various mixed culture filtrates and mycellium extracts.
