A pectin lyase (PNL; EC 4.2.2.10) gene of Erwinia carotovora Er was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli. The analysis of the nucleotide sequence of the 0.6 kb StuI-EcoRI fragment, which was hybridized with the mixed oligonucleotide probe for PNL gene, revealed the presence of an open reading frame (0RF) and correlated exactly with the known N-terminal 18 amino acid sequence of PNL. When a plasmid pTN2159, which has a BamHI-EcoRI fragment containing this ORF, was introduced into E. coli JM109, PNL was not expressed. When a tac-promoter was inserted in front of the ORF, PNL was efficiently expressed in E. coli. Synthesis of PNL by E. coli was also confirmed by immunoblot analysis.

A gene (pel1) encoding pectin lyase (Pel1) was isolated from a shoyu koji mold, Aspergillus oryzae KBN616, and characterized. The structural gene comprised 1,196 bp with a single intron. The ORF encoded 381 amino acids with a signal peptide of 20 amino acids. The deduced amino acid sequence showed high similarity to those of Aspergillus niger pectin lyases and Glomerella cingulata PnlA. The pel1 gene was successfully overexpressed under the promoter of the A. oryzae TEF1 gene. The molecular mass of the recombinant pectin lyase substantially coincided with that calculated based on nucleotide sequence.

A second pectin lyase gene, designated pel2, was isolated from a shoyu koji mold Aspergillus oryzae KBN616 and characterized. The structural gene comprised 1306 bp with three introns. The ORF encoded 375 amino acids with a signal peptide of 19 amino acids. The deduced amino acid sequence showed high similarity to those of A. oryzae Pel1, Aspergillus niger pectin lyases and Glomerella cingulata Pn1A. The pel2 gene was overexpressed under the control of the promoter of the A. oryzae TEF1 gene for purification and enzymatic characterization of its gene product. The gene product exhibited two molecular masses of 48 and 44 kDa due to different degrees of glycosylation. Both proteins had the same pH optimum of 6.0 and temperature optimum of 50 degrees C.
