Abstract

Bacillus amyloliquefaciens K-42, which produces strongly a fibrinolytic enzyme, Was isolated from Ganjang, a traditional Korean soy sauce. The fibrinolytic enzyme was purified to homogeneity by ammonium sulfate fractionation, ion-exchange chromatography on DEAE-Sephadex A-50, gel chromatography on Sephadex G-100, and gel chromatography on Sephadex G-75 of the culture filtrate of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens K42. The purified enzyme showed the specific activity of 59.4 units per milligram, which was increased by 17.1 fold over the culture broth. And the molecular weight of purified fibrinolytic enzyme was confirmed to be about 45,000 Dalton by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The enzyme activity was relatively stable at pH 4.0-10.0 and the optimum pH was 8.0. The activity of the purified enzyme was increased by $Mg^{2+}$ , Cu$^{2+}$ but the enzyme was totally inhibited by $Ba^{2+}$ $Hg^{2+}$ In addition, the enzyme activity was potently inhibited by EDTA, EGTA and CDTA. It was concluded that the purified enzyme was a metalloprotease. And Km value was 2.03 mg/ml to fibrin.

본 연구는 우리나라의 전통발효식품인 재래간장에서도 혈전용해효소 생산 미생물이 존재할 가능성이 있다고 판단하여, 지역의 재래간장으로부터 혈전용해효소 생산능이 우수한 균주 K42를 최종 선발하였다. 선발된 균주는 B. amyloliquefaciens로 동정되었으며, l2% NaCl 함유된 배지에서도 균생육이 양호하였으며 10% NaCl 농도까지 효소생산이 유지되는 내염성 세균임을 알 수 있었다. 혈전용해효소의 정제는 40% ammonium sulfate로 분별 염석 후 DEAE-Sephadex A-50, Sephadex G-100, Sephadex G-75를 이용하여 단일단백의 효소로 정제하였다. 효소의 활성도는 배양여액에 비해 17.1배 증가하였고, 회수율은 1.1%로 나타났다. Disc-electrophoresis와 SDS-PAGE를 실시하여 분자량 45,000 Dalton의 단일 단백질로 확인하였다. 혈전용해효소의 특성조사에 있어서는 최적 pH는 8.0의 약알칼리성을 나타내었고 안정성에 있어서는 pH 4.0에서 pH 10.0 범위에서 80% 이상의 잔존활성을 나타내었으며, 최적반응 온도는 $50^{\circ}C$로 조사되었고 열 안정성에 있어서는 3$0^{\circ}C$의 온도에서 50분간 열처리시 80%이상 잔존 활성을 보였다. 금속이온of B. amyloliquefaciens K42가 생산하는 fibrinolytic enzyme의 활성에 미치는 영향을 검토한 결과 $Mg^{2+}$ $Cu^{ 2+}$에 대해서는 효소 활성이 증가하는 양상을 보였다. 또한 B. amyioliquefaciens K42가 생산하는 fibrinolytic enzyme은 metallo enzyme의 활성저해제인 EDTA등에 대해서는 15%이하로 효소 활성이 감소되었는데 이러한 효소 활성 저해로 보아 metallo enzyme이거나 활성에 금속이온이 필요한 것으로 추정된다. 그리고 기질인 fibrin과의 친화성을 알아보기 위해 Km값을 측정하였는데 Km값은 2.03 mg/ml 나타났다.
