Three extracellular alkaline beta-mannanases from an alkalophilic Bacillus N16-5 were purified to electrophoretic homogeneity by (NH4)2SO4 precipitation, DEAE-Sephadex A-25 chromatography, hydroxyapatite chromatography and preparative electrophoresis. Molecular weights and pI values of the beta-mannanases (M-1, M-2 and M-3) were 51000, 38000 and 34700 by SDS-PAGE and 4.3, 2.5 and 2.5 by PAGEIEF, respectively. The optimum pH for enzyme catalysis were 9.0 for M-1 and 10.0 for M-2 and M-3, respectively. All of three enzymes were the most active at 70 degrees C. The activities of three enzymes were strongly inhibited by Ag1+, Hg2+ and Mn2+. Michaelis constants (Km) of the enzyme M-1, M-2 and M-3 for mannase from konjak were 2.9, 1.7 and 12.5 mg/ml, maximum velocities (Vmax) for the saccharide were 27500, 47500 and 15700 mumol.min-1.mg-1, respectively. Konjak was hydrolyzed by the enzyme M-1, and major components in digests were mono-, di-, tri- and tetra-saccharides.

High yields of extracellular alpha-galactosidase from fungal cultures were obtained by inducing enzyme production with guar gum (a galactomannan obtained from the seeds of Cyamopsis tetragonobola) as the sole carbon source. An alpha-galactosidase was isolated from the culture medium of Penicillium ochrochloron culture and purified 867-fold by CM-cellulose and Sephacryl S-200 column chromatography to apparent homogeneity. Gel-filtration data revealed an M(r) of 57,500, which was in close agreement with SDS/PAGE M(r) estimation, for a single band, of 60,200. The alpha-galactosidase activity is strictly dependent upon the pH and temperature of the incubation medium, being maximal at pH 4.5 and 55 degrees C respectively. This enzyme from P. ochrochloron was isolated and purified, devoid of beta-mannanase activity, which cleaves the main beta-mannan backbone of galactomannans and greatly diminishes its gel-promoting capacity. The properties of purified guar-gum-induced alpha-galactosidase activity in P. ochrochloron culture were evaluated in order to ascribe a possible application for alpha-galactosidase in the controlled generation of an improved guar-gum-based gel promoter.

The gene coding for a beta-mannanase was cloned homologously from Streptomyces lividans and its DNA sequence was determined. The fully secreted enzyme was isolated and purified from culture filtrates of the hyperproducing clone S. lividans IAF36 grown in mineral salt media containing galactomannan as the main carbon source. It had a molecular mass of 36 kDa and a specific activity of 876 i.u./mg of protein. Under the assay conditions used, the optimal enzyme activity was obtained at 58 degrees C and a pH of 6.8. The pI was 3.5. The kinetic constants of this mannanase determined with galactomannan as substrate were a Vmax. of 205 i.u./mg of enzyme and a Km of 0.77 mg/ml. Data from SDS/PAGE and Western blotting show that the cloned enzyme was identical to that of the wild-type strain.

We found that a psychrophilic bacterium, Flavobacterium sp., characterized in this study, has a beta-mannanase (EC 3.2.1.78) activity in the culture medium. The mannanase activity was the highest in the culture medium, containing 1.0% (w/v) guar gum (as a carbon source), 0.3% (NH4)2SO4 (as a nitrogen source), and 0.06% (w/v) yeast extract, of five-days cultivation at 4 degrees C. No mannanase activity was found in the medium containing a monosaccharide or a disaccharide as a carbon source, although the psychrophile could use them. The enzyme activity was found only when the bacterium was cultured in the medium containing a polysaccharide. The enzyme preparation showed a single activity band on a washed gel of SDS-PAGE. The optimal temperature for the enzyme activity was 35 degrees C. When the reaction was done at 10 degrees C, the enzyme showed 25% of the optimal activity. The beta-mannanase preparation efficiently hydrolyzed guar gum, locust bean gum, and glucomannan as well as beta-mannan.

An alkaline beta-mannanase was purified to homogeneity from a culture broth of alkaliphilic Bacillus sp. N16-5. The enzyme had optimum activity at pH 9.5 and 70 degrees C. It was composed of a single polypeptide chain with a molecular weight of 55 kDa deduced from SDS-PAGE, and its isoelectric point was around pH 4.3. The enzyme efficiently hydrolyzed galactomannan and glucomannan, producing a series of oligosaccharides and monosaccharides. The beta-mannanase gene (manA) contained an open reading frame (ORF) of 1,479 bp, encoding a 32-amino acids signal peptide, and a mature protein of 461 amino acids, with a calculated molecular mass of 50,743 Da. Strain N16-5 ManA, deduced from the manA ORF, exhibited relatively high amino acid similarity to the members of the glycosyl hydrolase family 5. The eight conserved active-site amino acids in family 5 glycosyl hydrolase were found in the deduced amino acid sequence of strain N16-5 ManA.

beta-mannanase (EC 3.2.1.78) from Bacillus subtilis SA-22 was purified successively by ammonium sulfate precipitation, hydroxyapatite chromatography, Sephadex G-75 gel filtration and DEAE-52 anion-exchange chromatography. Through these steps, the enzyme was concentrated 30.75-fold with a recovery rate of 23.43%, with a specific activity of 34780.56 u/mg. Molecular weight of the enzyme was determined to be 38 kD by SDS-PAGE and 34 kD by gel filtration. The results revealed that the optimal pH value for the enzyme was 6.5 and the optimal temperature was 70 degrees C. The enzyme is stable between pH 5 to 10. The enzyme remained most of its activity after a treatment of 4 h at 50 degrees C, but lost 25% of activity at 60 degrees C for 4 h, lost 50% of activity at 70 degrees C for 3 h. The enzyme activity was strongly inhibited by Hg2+. The Michaelis constants (Km) were measured as 11.30 mg/mL for locust bean gum and 4.76 mg/mL for konjac powder, while Vmax for these two polysaccharides were 188.68 (micromol x mL(-1) x min(-1)) and 114.94 (micromol x mL(-1) x min(-1)), respectively.

A novel alkaline mannanase Man26A has been found in the culture of an alkaliphilic Bacillus sp. strain JAMB-750 and the optimal pH for the mannanase activity of the enzyme was around pH 10 (J Biol Macromol 4: 67-74, 2004). This optimal pH is the highest among those of the mannanases reported to date. The gene man26A coding the enzyme was cloned from the genomic DNA of strain JAMB-750 and sequenced. It encodes a protein of 997 amino acids including a signal peptide. The N-terminal half (Glu27-Val486) of the enzyme exhibited moderate similarities to other mannanases belonging to glycoside hydrolase family 26, such as the enzymes from Cellvibrio japonicus (37% identity), Cellulomonas fimi (33% identity), and Bacillus sp. strain AM-001 (28% identity). The C-terminal half was found to contain four domains. The first, second, third, and fourth domains exhibited similarities to the carbohydrate-binding module, the mannan-binding module, the Homo sapiens collagen type IX alpha I chain, and the membrane anchor region of Gram-positive surface proteins, respectively. Its recombinant mannanase was produced extracellularly using Bacillus subtilis as the host. The optimal pH for the mannanase activity of the recombinant enzyme was around pH 10. The enzyme was very resistant to surfactants, for example, SDS up to 2.0% (w/v).

An extracellular pectinase (PECI) was purified to apparent homogeneity from liquid state cultures of the thermophilic fungus Acrophialophora nainiana by ultrafiltration and a combination of gel filtration and ion-exchange chromatographic procedures. The molecular masses of PECI were 35,500 and 30,749 Da, as determined by SDS-PAGE and mass spectrometry, respectively. It was more active at 60 degrees C and pH 8.0 and showed high stability at 50 degrees C with half-life of 7 days. However at 60 and 70 degrees C, PECI was much less stable with half lives of approximately 20 and 3 min, respectively. The thermostability of purified PECI was also investigated by fluorescence and circular dichroism spectroscopy. Fluorescence revealed that the unfolding transition region was observed between 45 and 70 degrees C. A major decrease in the stability was found at 70 degrees C. Circular dichroism measurements at pH between 5.0 and 9.0 showed a transition temperature (T(m)) range of 50-55 degrees . The thermodynamic analysis of these results showed that EPGI is thermal stable protein exhibiting maximum stability (DeltaG(25)) of 22.65 and 19.19 kcal/mol at pH 8.0 and 9.0, respectively. The apparent K(m) value on pectin from citrus fruits was 4.22 mgml(-1). PECI exhibited no detectable activity of pectin methylesterase, endo-polygalacturonase, mannanase, xylanase and cellulase. However, it showed exo-polygalacturonase and pectin lyase activities. The presence of carbohydrate was detected in the pure PECI. It was activated by l-tryptophan, DEPC, DTT, DTNB, DTP, l-cystein and beta-mercaptoethanol and inhibited by NBS, Fe(2+), Cu(2+), Zn(2+), Mn(2+), Al(3+) and Ca(2+). The enzyme showed homology with a pectin lyases from Xanthomonas campestris and Bacillus licheniformis.

A facultatively anaerobic bacterium, Paenibacillus curdlanolyticus B-6, isolated from an anaerobic digester produces an extracellular xylanolytic-cellulolytic enzyme system containing xylanase, beta-xylosidase, arabinofuranosidase, acetyl esterase, mannanase, carboxymethyl cellulase (CMCase), avicelase, cellobiohydrolase, beta-glucosidase, amylase, and chitinase when grown on xylan under aerobic conditions. During growth on xylan, the bacterial cells were found to adhere to xylan from the early exponential growth phase to the late stationary growth phase. Scanning electron microscopic analysis revealed the adhesion of cells to xylan. The crude enzyme preparation was found to be capable of binding to insoluble xylan and Avicel. The xylanolytic-cellulolytic enzyme system efficiently hydrolyzed insoluble xylan, Avicel, and corn hulls to soluble sugars that were exclusively xylose and glucose. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) of a crude enzyme preparation exhibited at least 17 proteins, and zymograms revealed multiple xylanases and cellulases containing 12 xylanases and 9 CMCases. The cellulose-binding proteins, which are mainly in a multienzyme complex, were isolated from the crude enzyme preparation by affinity purification on cellulose. This showed nine proteins by SDS-PAGE and eight xylanases and six CMCases on zymograms. Sephacryl S-300 gel filtration showed that the cellulose-binding proteins consisted of two multienzyme complexes with molecular masses of 1,450 and 400 kDa. The results indicated that the xylanolytic-cellulolytic enzyme system of this bacterium exists as multienzyme complexes.

An endo-beta-1,4-mannanase was isolated from digestive fluid of Pacific abalone, Haliotis discus hannai, by successive chromatographies on TOYPEARL CM-650M, hydroxyapatite, and TOYOPEARL HW50F. The abalone mannanase, named HdMan in the present paper, showed a molecular mass of approximately 39,000 Da on SDS-PAGE, and exhibited high hydrolyic activity on both galactomannan from locust bean gum and glucomannan from konjac at an optimal pH and temperature of 7.5 and 45 degrees C, respectively. HdMan could degrade either beta-1,4-mannan or beta-1,4-mannooligosaccharides to mannotriose and mannobiose similarly to beta-1,4-mannanases from Pomacea, Littorina, and Mytilus. In addition, HdMan could disperse the fronds of a red alga Porphyra yezoensis into cell masses consisting of 10-20 cells that are available for cell engineering of this alga. cDNAs encoding HdMan were amplified by polymerase chain reaction from an abalone-hepatopancreas cDNA library. From the nucleotide sequences of the cDNAs, the sequence of 1232 bp in total was determined and the amino-acid sequence of 377 residues was deduced from the translational region of 1134 bp locating at nucleotide positions 15-1148. The N-terminal region of 17 residues except for the initiation Met, was regarded as the signal peptide of HdMan because it was absent in the HdMan protein and showed high similarity to the consensus sequence for signal peptides of eukaryote secretory proteins. Accordingly, mature HdMan was considered to consist of 359 residues with the calculated molecular mass of 39,627.2 Da. HdMan is classified into glycoside hydrolase family 5 (GHF5) on the basis of sequence homology to GHF5 enzymes.
