An agar-degrading bacterium was isolated from red seaweed (Gelidium amansii) on a natural seawater agar plate, and identified as Saccharophagus sp. AG21. The ${\beta}$-agarase gene from Saccharophagus sp. AG21 (agy1) was screened by long and accurate (LA)-PCR. The predicted sequence has a 1,908 bp open reading frame encoding 636 amino acids (aa), and includes a glycosyl hydrolase family 16 (GH16) ${\beta}$-agarase module and two carbohydrate binding modules of family 6 (CBM6). The deduced aa sequence showed 93.7% and 84.9% similarity to ${\beta}$-agarase of Saccharophagus degradans and Microbulbifer agarilyticus, respectively. The mature agy1 was cloned and overexpressed as a His-tagged recombinant ${\beta}$-agarase (rAgy1) in Escherichia coli, and had a predicted molecular mass of 69 kDa and an isoelectric point of 4.5. rAgy1 showed optimum activity at $55^{\circ}C$ and pH 7.6, and had a specific activity of 85 U/mg. The rAgy1 activity was enhanced by $FeSO_4$ (40%), KCl (34%), and NaCl (34%), compared with the control. The newly identified rAgy1 is a ${\beta}$-agarase, which acts to degrade agarose to neoagarotetraose (NA4) and neoagarohexaose (NA6) and may be useful for applications in the cosmetics, food, bioethanol, and reagent industries.

The agarase gene gaa16a was identified from a draft genome sequence of Gilvimarinus agarilyticus JEA5, an agar-utilizing marine bacterium. Recently, three agarase-producing bacteria, G. chinensis, G. polysaccharolyticus, and G. agarilyticus, in the genus Gilvimarinus were reported. However, there have been no reports of the molecular characteristics and biochemical properties of these agarases. In this study, we analyzed the molecular characteristics and biochemical properties of agarases in Gilvimarinus. Gaa16A comprised a 1,323-bp open reading frame encoding 441 amino acids. The predicted molecular mass and isoelectric point were 49 kDa and 4.9, respectively. The amino acid sequence of Gaa16A showed features typical of glycosyl hydrolase family 16 (GH16) ${\beta}$-agarases, including a GH16 domain, carbohydrate-binding region (RICIN domain), and signal peptide. Recombinant Gaa16A (excluding the signal peptide and carbohydrate-binding region, rGaa16A) was expressed as a fused protein with maltose-binding protein at its N-terminus in Escherichia coli. rGaa16A had maximum activity at $55^{\circ}C$ and pH 7.0 and 103 U/mg of specific activity in the presence of 2.5 mM $CaCl_2$. The enzyme hydrolyzed agarose to yield neoagarotetraose as the main product. This enzyme may be useful for industrial production of functional neoagaro-oligosaccharides.

The SCO0284 gene of Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2) is predicted to encode an α-galactosidase (680 amino acids) belonging to glycoside hydrolase family 27. In this study, the SCO0284 coding region was cloned and overexpressed in Streptomyces lividans TK24. The mature form of SCO0284 (641 amino acids, 68 kDa) was purified from culture broth by gel filtration chromatography, with 83.3-fold purification and a yield of 11.2%. Purified SCO0284 showed strong activity against p-nitrophenyl-α-D-galactopyranoside, melibiose, raffinose, and stachyose, and no activity toward lactose, agar (galactan), and neoagarooligosaccharides, indicating that it is an α-galactosidase. Optimal enzyme activity was observed at 40℃ and pH 7.0. The addition of metal ions or EDTA did not affect the enzyme activity, indicating that no metal cofactor is required. The kinetic parameters V_max and K_m for p-nitrophenyl-α-D-galactopyranoside were 1.6 mg/ml (0.0053 M) and 71.4 U/mg, respectively. Thin-layer chromatography and mass spectrometry analysis of the hydrolyzed products of melibiose, raffinose, and stachyose showed perfect matches with the masses of the sodium adducts of the hydrolyzed products, galactose (M+Na, 203), melibiose (M+Na, 365), and raffinose (M+Na, 527), respectively, indicating that it specifically cleaves the α-1,6-glycosidic bond of the substrate, releasing the terminal D-galactose.

Paenibacillus woosongensis의 유전체 부분 염기서열로부터 mannanase를 코드하는 것으로 유추되는 open reading frame을 중합효소연쇄반응으로 증폭하여 대장균에 클로닝하고 염기서열을 결정하였다. Mannanase 유전자는 man26AT로 명명하였으며 1,053 아미노산으로 구성된 단백질을 코드하는 3,159 뉴클레오티드로 이루어졌다. 아미노산 잔기배열을 분석한 결과 Man26AT는 glycosyl hydrolase family 26의 mannanase와 상동성이 높은 활성영역, 탄수화물 결합영역 CBM27과 CBM11로 구성되어 있었다. Man26AT의 아미노산 배열은 P. ihumii의 유추된 mannanase와 상동성이 81%이고 다른 Paenibacillus 속 균주의 여러 mannanases와 57% 이하의 상동성을 보였다. man26AT 유전자를 함유한 재조합 대장균의 균체 파쇄상등액은 $55^{\circ}C$와 pH 5.5에서 최대의 mannanase 활성을 보였고, $50^{\circ}C$에서 1시간 열처리한 후에 80% 이상의 잔존활성을 보였다. Man26AT는 locust bean gum (LBG) galactomannan과 konjac glucomannan에 대한 분해활성이 유사하였으며, carboxymethylcellulose, xylan과 para-nitrophenyl-${\beta}$-mannopyranoside는 분해하지 못하였다. Man26AT에 의해 mannotriose, mannotetraose, mannopentaose와 mannohexaose 등의 만노올리고당이나 LBG로부터 공통의 최종 가수분해 산물로 mannose, mannobiose와 mannotriose가 생성되었다. 또한 mannotriose 보다 큰 만노올리고당이 LBG와 guar gum의 분해산물로 각각 생성되었다. 그러나 Man26AT는 mannobiose를 분해하지는 못하였다. 활성염색을 통해 Man26AT는 균체 내에서 3개 이상의 크기가 다른 활성 단백질로 분해된 것이 확인되었다.

여러 종류의 mannanase를 생산하는 Cellulosimicrobium sp. YB-43으로부터 mannanase B를 암호하는 manB 유전자와 효소의 특성이 보고된 바 있다. Mannanase C (ManC)로 명명한 효소의 유전자가 manB 유전자의 하류에 위치한 것으로 예상되어 이를 중합효소 연쇄반응으로 클로닝하여 manC 유전자의 염기서열을 결정하였다. ManC는 448 아미노산 잔기로 구성된 것으로 확인되었으며 glycosyl hydrolase family 5에 속하는 mannanase와 상동성이 높은 활성영역과 탄수화물 결합영역(CBM2)이 존재하였다. ManC의 활성영역은 Streptomyces sp. SirexAA-E (55.8%; 4FK9_A) 및 S. thermoluteus (57.6%; BAM62868)의 mannanase와 아미노산 배열의 상동성이 55% 이상으로 가장 높았다. Signal peptide 영역이 제거되고 카르복실 말단에 hexahistidine이 연결되도록 제조한 His-tagged ManC (HtManC)의 유전자를 재조합 대장균에서 발현하여 균체 파쇄액으로부터 HtManC를 정제하였다. HtManC은 $65^{\circ}C$와 pH 7.5에서 최대 활성을 보였으며 pH 7.5~10범위에서 활성에 큰 변화가 없었다. HtManC는 locust bean gum (LBG)과 konjac에 대한 분해 활성이 guar gum과 ivory nut mannan (ivory nut)에 비해 높았다. 최적 반응조건에서 LBG를 기질로 하여 반응 동력학적 계수를 측정한 결과 Vmax와 Km이 68 U/mg과 0.45 mg/ml로 나타났다. HtManC에 의한 만노올리고당(MOS)과 mannan의 분해산물을 TLC로 관찰한 결과 mannobiose 보다 중합도가 큰MOS로부터 mannobiose와 mannotriose가 주된 분해산물로 생성되었다. 또한 LBG, konjac과 ivory nut의 분해산물로 mannobiose와 소량이 mannose가 공통적으로 관찰되었다.

Objective: Fibronectin 3 (FN3) and immunoglobulin like modules (Ig) are usually collocated beside modular cellulase catalytic domains. However, very few researches have investigated the role of these modules. In a previous study, we have sequenced and analyzed bacterial metagenomic DNA in Vietnamese goats' rumen and found that cellulase-producing bacteria and cellulase families were dominant. In this study, the properties of modular cellulases and the role of a FN3 in unique endoglucanase belonging to glycosyl hydorlase (GH) family 5 were determined. Methods: Based on Pfam analysis, the cellulases sequences containing FN3, Ig modules were extracted from 297 complete open reading frames (ORFs). The alkaline, thermostability, tertiary structure of deduced enzymes were predicted by AcalPred, TBI software, Phyre2 and Swiss models. Then, whole and truncated forms of a selected gene were expressed in Escherichia coli and purified by His-tag affinity column for assessment of FN3 ability to enhance enzyme activity, solubility and conformation. Results: From 297 complete ORFs coding for cellulases, 148 sequences containing FN3, Ig were identified. Mostly FN3 appeared in 90.9% beta-glucosidases belonging to glycosyl hydrolase family 3 (GH3) and situated downstream of catalytic domains. The Ig was found upstream of 100% endoglucanase GH9. Rarely FN3 was seen to be situated downstream of X domain and upstream of catalytic domain endoglucanase GH5. Whole enzyme (called XFN3GH5 based on modular structure) and truncate forms FN3, XFN3, FN3GH5, GH5 were cloned in pET22b (+) and pET22SUMO to be expressed in single and fusion forms with a small ubiquitin-related modifier partner (S). The FN3, SFN3 increased GH5 solubility in FN3GH5, SFN3GH5. The SFN3 partly served for GH5 conformation in SFN3GH5, increased modules interaction and enzyme-soluble substrate affinity to enhance SXFN3GH5, SFN3GH5 activities in mixtures. Both SFN3 and SXFN3 did not anchor enzyme on filter paper but exfoliate and separate cellulose chains on filter paper for enzyme hydrolysis. Conclusion: Based on these findings, the presence of FN3 module in certain cellulases was confirmed and it assisted for enzyme conformation and activity in both soluble and insoluble substrate.

A novel $\alpha$-amylase ($\alpha$-1,4-$\alpha$-D-glucan glucanohydrolase, E.C. 3.2.1.1), ScAmy43, was found in the culture medium of the phytopathogenic fungus Sclerotinia sclerotiorum grown on oats flour. Purified to homogeneity, ScAmy43 appeared as a 43 kDa monomeric enzyme, as estimated by SDS-PAGE and Superdex 75 gel filtration. The MALDI peptide mass fingerprint of ScAmy43 tryptic digest as well as internal sequence analyses indicate that the enzyme has an original primary structure when compared with other fungal a-amylases. However, the sequence of the 12 N-terminal residues is homologous with those of Aspergillus awamori and Aspergillus kawachii amylases, suggesting that the new enzyme belongs to the same GH13 glycosyl hydrolase family. Assayed with soluble starch as substrate, this enzyme displayed optimal activity at pH 4 and $55^{\circ}C$ with an apparent $K_m$ value of 1.66 mg/ml and $V_{max}$ of 0.1${\mu}mol$glucose $min^{-1}$ $ml^{-1}$. ScAmy43 activity was strongly inhibited by $Cu^{2+}$, $Mn^{2+}$, and $Ba^{2+}$, moderately by $Fe^{2+}$, and was only weakly affected by $Ca^{2+}$ addition. However, since EDTA and EGTA did not inhibit ScAmy43 activity, this enzyme is probably not a metalloprotein. DTT and $\beta$-mercaptoethanol strongly increased the enzyme activity. Starting with soluble starch as substrate, the end products were mainly maltotriose, suggesting for this enzyme an endo action.
