Enzymatic Properties of Cytidine Deaminase from Aspergillus fumigatus IFO 5840

Aspergillus fumigatus IFO 5840이 생산하는 Cytidine Deaminase의 효소학적 성질

Cytidine deaminase (EC 3.5.4.5) from Aspergillus fumigatus IFO 5840, which was the first cytidine deaminase to be found in a mold, was fractionated with ammonium sulfate (35-60%). When the enzyme solution in 0.25M of Tris-HCI buffer (pH 7.2) was preincubated at $37^{\circ}C$ for 25min, the enzyme activity was reached to maximum state. The optimum pH and temperature for the enzyme activity were found to be 6.8 to 7.2 and near $37^{\circ}C$, respectively. The enzyme was stable in a pH 7.2 to 9.0, and was generally stable at 4$0^{\circ}C$, but after treating at 6$0^{\circ}C$ for 20min at the optimal pH, 17% of the enzyme activity was inactivated, and disappeared completely by treating at 1$0^{\circ}C$ for 25min. Activation energy (Ea) of fungal cytidine deaminase was calculated as 14.190 Kcal /mol by the Arrhenius plot, and temperate coeffient ($Q_{10}$ ) of the enzyme was calculated as 2.163.

황산암모늄 분획 (35-60%) 효소액을 사용하여 Aspergillus fumigatus IFO 5840의 cytidine deaminase에 대한 효소학적 성질을 조사하였다. 효소반응의 전처리시간은 25분이었으며 본 효소의 최적pH와 최적온도는 각각 6.8-7.2와 $37^{\circ}C$부근이었다. PH에 대한 안정성은 pH7.2에서 9.0의 범위에서 안정하였으며 온도의 안정성은 4$0^{\circ}C$에서 10분 열처리시 대체로 안정하였으나 6$0^{\circ}C$에서 20분간 처리시는 77%의 효소실활을 나타내었고 7$0^{\circ}C$에서 25분간 처리하였을때 완전히 실활되었다. 본 효소의 활성화 에너지 값(Ea)은 14.190kca1/mo1이었고 온도계수 ($Q_{10}$ )는 2.163이었다.
