D. geothermalis의 dgeo_0475 유전자로부터 만들어지는 효소를 정제하여 그 특성을 확인하였다. DGMA는 분자량이 약 68 kDa 크기의 효소로서 ${\beta}$-CD, soluble starch 및 pullulan을 가수분해하는 CD 분해 효소임을 확인하였다. 효소의 최적 온도는 $40^{\circ}C$ 최적 pH 는 6.0이며 대부분의 기질들을 glucose와 maltose로 가수분해 하였고 pullulan 및 soluble starch로부터 미량의 panose를 생성하였다. ${\beta}$-CD를 가장 잘 가수분해하나 기질간 상대적 활성차이는 다른 CD 분해효소에 비하여 크지 않았다.

Amylases catalyze the hydrolysis of starch material and play central roles in carbohydrate metabolism. The structure and a size exclusion column chromatography proved that the enzyme is a dimer in solution. The N -terminal segment of the enzyme folds into a distinct domain and comprises the enzyme active site together with the central (${\alpha}$/ ${\beta}$)$\sub$8/ barrel of the adjacent subunit.(omitted)

Cyclomaltodextrinases (CDases), maitogenic amylases, and neopullulanases share highly conserved primary structures and similar characteristics, and are thus classified into the same family. BLAST search has showed that a variety of bacterial strains harbor putative CDase family genes with several well-conserved motif amino acid sequences. In this study, four degenerate polymerase chain reaction (PCR) primer sets were designed for the detection of CDase genes, on the basis of their highly conserved amino acid blocks (WYQIFP, DGWRLD, LGSHDT, and KCMVW). The PCR detection conditions were optimized and the detection specificity of each for the primer sets was tested against the genomic DNAs isolated from 23 different Bacillus-associated species. Consequently, all tested primer sets evidenced successful amplification of specific PCR products in length, which share 55-98% amino acid sequence identity with known and putative CDases. The primers developed herein, therefore, can be applied for the easy and efficient detection and isolation of CDase family genes for the modification of functional food carbohydrates.

Genome organization near cyclomaltodextrinases (CDases) was analyzed and compared for four different hyperthermophilic archaea: Thermococcus, Pyrococcus, Staphylothermus, and Thermofilum. A gene (CL1_0884) encoding a putative CDase from Thermococcus sp. CL1 (tccd) was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli. TcCD was confirmed to be highly thermostable, with optimal activity at $85^{\circ}C$. The melting temperature of TcCD was determined to be $93^{\circ}C$ by both differential scanning calorimetry and differential scanning fluorimetry. A size-exclusion chromatography experiment showed that TcCD exists as a monomer. TcCD preferentially hydrolyzed ${\alpha}$-cyclodextrin (${\alpha}$-CD), and at the initial stage catalyzed a ring-opening reaction by cleaving one ${\alpha}$-1,4-glycosidic linkage of the CD ring to produce the corresponding single maltooligosaccharide. Furthermore, TcCD could hydrolyze branched CDs (G1-${\alpha}$-CD, G1-${\beta}$-CD, and G2-${\beta}$-CD) to yield significant amounts (45%, 40%, and 46%) of isomaltooligosaccharides (panose and $6^2$-${\alpha}$-maltosylmaltose) in addition to glucose and maltose. This enzyme is one of the most thermostable maltogenic amylases reported, and might be of potential value in the production of isomaltooligosaccharides in the food industry.
