Abstract

A 1.3-kb of chitosanase gene (choA) encoding 45-kDa polypeptide was cloned, expressed, and characterized from a newly isolated Bacillus cereus H-1. The chitosanase protein (ChoA) of B. cereus H-l was purified to homogeneity by ammonium sulfate precipitation and CM-sephadex column chromatography. Optimum pH was around 7, and stable pH range in the incubation at 50 C was 4-11. Optimum temperature was around 50 C, and enzyme activity was relatively stable below 45 C. ChoA showed the activities toward carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) in addition to soluble or glycol chitosan. Based on MALDI-TOF MS analysis of purified ChoA, the entire amino acid sequence of ChoA was interpreted by database searching of previously known Bacillus chitosanases. A 1.6 kb of PCR product of corresponding chitosanase gene was obtained and its DNA sequence was determined. The deduced amino acid of choA revealed that ChoA have a 98% homology with those of Bacillus sp. No.7-M strain and Bacillus sp. KCTC0377BP. The recombinant ChoA protein was expressed in E. coli DH5$\alpha$. Deduced amino acid comparison of choA with other chitosanases suggested that it belongs to family 8 microbial endo-chitosanase with chitosanase-cellulase activity.

새롭게 분리된 Bacillus cereus H-1으로부터 크기가 45-kDa인 chitosanase를 정제하여 특성을 파악하였고 1.3-kb의 chitosanase 유전자(choA)를 대장균에 클로닝하여 발현시켰다. H-1의 chitosanase 단백질(ChoA)은 ammonium sulfate 침전과 CM-sephadex칼럼 크로마토그래피에 의해 정제하였다. 최적 pH는 약 7이었고 pH 안정성은 $50^{\circ}C$에서 4-11로 나타났다. 최적 온도는 약 5$0^{\circ}C$였으며 효소 활성은 $45^{\circ}C$ 아래에서 비교적 안정하였다. H-1 chitosanase는 soluble 또는 glycol chitosan뿐만아니라 carboxymethyl cellulose(CMC)에 대한 활성도 나타내었다. 정제된 ChoA의 MALDI-TOF MS분석에 기초하여 이미 알려진 다른 Bacillus chitosanases와의 데이터베이스 검색을 통해 전체 아미노산 서열을 밝혀내었다. Chitosanase gene에 해당하는 1.6 kb의 PCR 산물을 얻었으며 그의 DNA 서열을 결정하였다. choA의 추정 아미노산은 Bacillus sp. No 7-M과 Bacillus sp. KCTC0377BP의 아미노산과 98%의 유사성을 나타내었다. 재조합 ChoA단백질은 E. coli DH5$\alpha$에서 원 균주와 동일한 크기로 발현되었다. N말단의 추정아미노산서열을 다른 chitosanas리 서열과 비교해 볼때 ChoA는 chitosanase-cellulase 활성을 갖는 family 8에 속하는 미생물 endo-chitosanaseT. 추정되었다.
