Alpha-Amylase (EC 3.2.1.1) was purified from the muscle and intestine of the parasitic helminth of pigs Ascaris suum. The enzymes from the two sources differed in their properties. Isoelectric focusing revealed one form of a-amylase from muscles with pl of 5.0, and two forms of amylase from intestine with pI of 4.7 and 4.5. SDS/PAGE suggested a molecular mass of 83 kDa and 73 kDa for isoenzymes of a-amylases from intestine and 59 kDa for the muscle enzyme. Alpha-Amylase from intestine showed maximum activity at pH 7.4, and the enzyme from muscle at pH 8.2. The muscle enzyme was more thermostabile than the intestinal alpha-amylase. Both the muscle and intestine amylase lost half of its activity after 15 min at 70 degrees C and 50 degrees C, respectively. The Km values were: for muscle amylase 0.22 microg/ml glycogen and 3.33 microg/ml starch, and for intestine amylase 1.77 microg/ml glycogen and 0.48 microg/ml starch. Both amylases were activated by Ca2+ and inhibited by EDTA, iodoacetic acid, p-chloromercuribenzoate and the inhibitor of a-amylase from wheat. No significant differences were found between the properties of a-amylases from parasites and from their hosts.

Telefax: 362 - 3388 DOI: https://doi.org/10.33017/RevECIPeru2013.0007/ Resumen Las alfa amilasas son las enzimas más estudiadas e importantes en el campo biotecnológico e industrial; ya que han reemplazado por completo la hidrólisis química del almidón. Estas enzimas son imprescindibles en la elaboración de productos alimenticios, combustibles, medicamentos y detergentes con la finalidad de optimizar procesos y conservar el medio ambiente. La α-amilasa puede ser purificada de diferentes organismos como plantas, animales, hongos y bacterias; actualmente un gran número de α-amilasas bacterianas en especial del género Bacillus están disponibles comercialmente y son las más utilizadas en las industrias. Sin embargo, la producción de éstas no satisfacen los requerimientos industriales en el mundo; ya que, la demanda de esta enzima se ha incrementado en los últimos dos años y el empleo de α-amilasas bacterianas ha provocado alergias afectando al 15% de la población a nivel mundial. . En este estudio, como fuente de α-amilasa se emplearon semillas de Chenopodium quinoa (quinua) var hualhuas blanca durante el proceso de germinación; esta enzima fue parcialmente purificada por precipitación con sulfato de amonio obteniendo una actividad específica final de 35.60U/mg y un grado de purificación de 5 veces. La purificación fue confirmada por SDS-PAGE, encontrando un peso molecular de 44kDa. La actividad enzimática se evaluó mediante el método de Miller mostrando máxima actividad a pH 7 y a temperatura de 37ºC. La linealización de Lineweaver-Burk nos dio un Km de 16mg/mL y Vmax de 100µM de maltosa/min. Por lo tanto, esta caracterización reúne los pre-requisitos necesarios para la aplicación en la industria.

Abstract The alpha amylases are the enzymes most studied and important in biotechnology and industry; because they have completely replaced the starch’s chemical hydrolysis. These enzymes are essential in the food production, medicines and detergents in order to optimize processes and conserve the environment. The α-amylase can be isolated from different organisms such as plants, animals, fungi and bacteria, now a large number of bacterial α-amylases especially from genus Bacillus are commercially available and they are the most used in industry. However, the production of these do not meet industry requirements in the world, because the demand for this enzyme has increased in the last two years and the use of bacterial α-amilase has caused allergies affecting the 15% of the global population. In this study, as a source of α-amylase used the seeds from Chenopodium quinoa (quinoa). Var. white hualhuas during the germination process, this enzyme was partially purified by ammonium sulfate precipitation to obtain a final specific activity of 35.60U/mg, and a grade of purification of 5 times. The purification was confirmed by SDS-PAGE, where the molecular weight was 44kDa. The enzyme activity was evaluated by Miller method showing maximum activity at pH 7 and 37ºC. The Lineweaver-Burk linearization shows a Km of 16mg/mL and Vmax of 100μM the maltose / min. Therefore, these characterizations meet the prerequisites need for industry.

Limit Dextrinase

Limit dextrinase is one of three main amylases in malted barley, which plays a significant role during the mashing stage of brewing. Due to very low content and similar properties compared to other amylases in malted barley, limit dextrinase is hard to separate effectively. Our work had been directed towards the extraction and purification of limit dextrinase from malted barley. Final products were obtained through fraction precipitation with ammonium sulfate and column chromatography, and purified limit dextrinase acquired a high purity of 31.23 times as much as that of crude extracts. The previous results were also confirmed by sodiumdodecyl sulphate poly-acrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) revealing a single band of protein (~97KDa). Effect of temperature, pH value, and metal ion on hydrolysis characterization of limit dextrinase was investigated. The results indicated that the maximum activity of purified samples changed significantly compared with that of crude extracts. The activity of purified limit dextrinase could be activated by lower concentration of Mg2+、Ca2+、Mn2+ and inhibited by the action of Zn2+、Fe2+. But this influence was not so obvious for K+.

An endo-(1 → 6)-β-glucanase has been isolated from the culture filtrates of the filamentous fungus Acremonium persicinum and purified by (NH4)2SO4 precipitation followed by anion-exchange and gel-filtration chromatography. SDS/PAGE of the purified enzyme gave a single band with an apparent molecular mass of 42.7 kDa. The enzyme is a non-glycosylated, monomeric protein with a pI of 4.9 and pH optimum of 5.0. It hydrolysed (1 → 6)-β-glucans (pustulan and lutean), initially yielding a series of (1 → 6)-β-linked oligoglucosides, consistent with endo-hydrolytic action. Final hydrolysis products from these substrates were gentiobiose and gentiotriose, with all products released as β-anomers, indicating that the enzyme acts with retention of configuration. The purified enzyme also hydrolysed Eisenia bicyclis laminarin, liberating glucose, gentiobiose, and a range of larger oligoglucosides, through the apparent hydrolysis of (1 → 6)-β- and some (1 → 3)-β-linkages in this substrate. Km values for pustulan, lutean and laminarin were 1.28, 1.38, and 1.67 mg/ml respectively. The enzyme was inhibited by N-acetylimidazole, N-bromosuccinimide, dicyclohexylcarbodi-imide, Woodward's Regent K, 2-hydroxy-5-nitrobenzyl bromide, KMnO4 and some metal ions, whereas D-glucono-1,5-lactone and EDTA had no effect.

Summary Sepiapterin deaminase has been purified approximately 6,000-told from the larval integument of the lemon mutant of the silkworm by several column chromatographic procedures. Sepiapterin and isosepiapterin were active substrates among various pteridines tested. The molecular mass of this enzyme was estimated to be 74 kDa by SDS-PAGE and 70 kDa by gel filtration, suggesting that the native form of the enzyme is monomeric protein . All silkworm strains, to the best of our knowledge, had an activity of the enzyme and the enzyme was widely distributed in the larval tissues. Sepiapterin deaminase may have an important function on the silkworm.

Humicola grisea var. thermoidea mycelium grown on maltose as the main source of carbon produced at least two amylases. The major amylolytic component was purified to homogeneity and classified as a glucoamylase. The apparent molecular mass of the purified enzyme was estimated to be 63 000 Da by SDS-PAGE and 65 000 Da by Bio-Gel P-100 filtration. The purified enzyme was a glycoprotein with 1.8% carbohydrate content and pH and temperature optima of 5.0 and 55 °C, respectively. The purified glucoamylase was thermostable at 60 °C with a half-life of 16 min at 65 °C. In the presence of starch the purified enzyme retained 75% of its thermostability at 65 °C, while the addition of maltose failed to protect the activity. The purified enzyme hydrolyzed branched substrates more efficiently than linear substrates. Starch and amylopectin were the best substrates utilized and amylose was hydrolyzed faster than maltopentaose, maltotetraose, and maltotriose. Kinetic experiments suggested that maltose and starch were hydrolyzed at the same catalytic site.Key words: glucoamylase, amylase, Humicola grisea.

Thermo-alkaline stable lipase producing B. coagulans was isolated and identified by 16S rRNA sequencing. The lipase production was optimized using different growth parameters. The enzyme was purified and characterized in terms of pH, temperature, solvents, heavy metal ions and inhibitors. Compatibility with commercially available detergents was also studied. The isolate showed maximum lipase production at 37 ⁰C; pH of 9 within 48 h. Addition of magnesium chloride increased lipase production. Sephadex G-100 chromatography was used to purify lipase. The enzyme showed maximum activity at pH 8 of 30 ⁰C. Lipase form B. coagulans was active at a wide range of temperature between 30-70 ⁰C. It was stable in most of the solvents at a concentration 5 and 10%, except dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and methanol. Iodoacetic acid (IAA) and p-chloromercuribenzoic acid (pCMB) had an inhibitory effect on lipase. The lipase was compatible with commercially available detergents that increased the brightness and whiteness of the tested cotton fabrics. Lipase from B. coagulans with alkaline stability at a wide range of temperature has potential application in the detergent industry.

ABSTRACT Glucanotransferases that can synthesize cyclo-{→6)-α-d-Glcp-(1→6)-α-d-Glcp-(1→6)-α-d-Glcp-(1→6)-α-d-Glcp-(1→} (CI4) from dextran were purified to homogeneity from the culture supernatant of Agreia sp. D1110 and Microbacterium trichothecenolyticum D2006. The molecular mass of both enzymes was estimated to be 86 kDa by SDS-PAGE. The glucanotransferase, named CI4-forming enzyme, from Agreia sp. exhibited the highest activity at pH 6.0 and 40 °C. The enzyme was stable on the pH range of 4.6-9.9 and up to 40 °C. On the other hand, the enzyme from M. trichothecenolyticum exhibited the highest activity at pH 5.7 and 40 °C. The enzyme was stable on the pH range of 5.0-6.9 and up to 35 °C. Both enzymes catalyzed 4 reactions, namely, intramolecular α-1,6-transglycosylation (cyclization), intermolecular α-1,6-transglycosylation, hydrolysis of CI4, and coupling reaction. Furthermore, the CI4-forming enzyme produced CI4 from α-1,6-linked glucan synthesized from starch by 6-α-glucosyltransferase. These findings will enable the production of CI4 from starch.
