Abstract
An inulin fructotransferase (DFA I-producing) [EC 2.4.1.200] from Arthrobacter pascens a62-1 was purified and the properties of the enzyme were investigated. The enzyme was purified from culture supernatant of the microorganism 58.5 fold with a yield of 8.32% using Super Q Toyopearl chromatography and butyl Toyopearl chromatography. It showed maximum activity at pH 5.5 and 45 °C and was stable up to 75 °C. This heat stability was highest in the inulin fructotransferases (DFA I-producing) reported until now. The molecular mass of the enzyme was estimated to be 37,000 by SDS-PAGE and 60,000 by gel filtration, and was considered to be a dimer. The N-terminal amino acid sequence (20 amino acid residues) was determined as Ala-Asn-Thr-Val-Tyr-Asp-Val-Thr-Thr-Trp-Ser-Gly-Ala-Thr-Ile-Ser-Pro-Tyr-Val-Asp.
