Abstract

A putative cyclomaltodextrinase (BHCD) gene was found from the genome of Bacillus halodurans C-125, which encodes 578 amino acids with a predicted molecular mass of 67,279 Da. It shares 42-59% of amino acid sequence identity with common cyclomaltodextrinase (CDase)-family enzymes. The corresponding gene was cloned by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and the dimeric enzyme with C-terminal 6-histidines was successfully overproduced and purified from recombinant Escherichia coli. BHCD showed the highest activity against ${\beta}-CD$ at pH 7.0 and $50^{\circ}C$. Due to its versatile hydrolysis and transglycosylation activities, BHCD has been confirmed as a member of CDases. However, BHCD can be distinguished from other typical CDases on the basis of its novel multisubstrate specificity. While typical CDases have over 10 times higher activity on ${\beta}-CD$ than starch or pullulan, the CD-hydrolyzing activity of BHCD is only 2.3 times higher than pullulan. In particular, it showed significantly higher activity ratio of maltotriose to acarbose than other common CDase-family enzymes.
