Abstract
B. pseudomycoides로 부터 alanine racemase로 추정되는 유전자를 분리한 다음 6xHistidine 이 결합된 pET-21 운반체를 이용하여 E. coli BL21(DE3)에서 발현시키고 생화학 특성을 조사하였다. 재조합된 alanine racemase는 affinity chromatography를 이용하여 분리하였으며 SDS-PAGE 분석에서 약 46 kDa의 단일밴드를 나타내었다. 분리된 효소는 여러 아미노산 중에서 L-alanine에 대하여 가장 높은 활성도를 보이고 D-alanine에 대하여 두번째로 높은 활성도를 보였다. 따라서 분리된 효소는 alanine racemase로 판단되었다. 분리된 효소는 D-cysteine에 하여 상당히 저해가 되었다. 효소의 최적 활성도는 pH 9.0 근처에서 관찰되었고 산성의 조건보다는 알칼리의 조건에서 보다 안정하였다. 보효소인 PLP 0.3mM의 첨가에 의해 효소의 활성도는 약 70% 가량 증대되었다. A gene encoding a putative alanine racemase in B. pseudomycoides was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli BL21(DE3) using a pET-21 vector harbouring 6xHistidine tag. Affinity purification of the recombinant alanine racemase with a nickel resin resulted in one band by SDS-PAGE analysis. The purified enzyme showed a molecular weight of 46 kDa. The enzyme was the most active toward L-alanine and secondly D-alanine, implying that the enzyme is an alanine racemase. D-cysteine significantly inhibited the enzyme activity and also L-cysteine to a lesser extent. The enzyme was considerably activated by addition of pyridoxal-5'-phosphate (PLP), showing that 73% increase in activity was observed at 0.3 mM, compared to control. The enzyme was the most active at pH 9.0 and more stable at alkaline pHs than acidic pHs.
