Partial characterization ofPseudomonas fluorescens subsp.cellulosa endoglucanase activity produced inEscherichia coli
Tóm tắt
The recombinant plasmid, pPFC4, which carriesPseudomonas fluorescens subsp.cellulosa chromosomal DNA was previously isolated on the basis of its ability to direct the expression of endoglucanase inEscherichia coli. In the present study, some physical and chemical properties of this activity were characterized. The major portion (78.4%) of the endoglucanase activity is found in the periplasmic space ofE. coli. This plasmid-encoded endoglucanase has a pH optimum of approximately 6.0 and a temperature optimum of approximately 50°C. With carboxymethylcellulose-zymograms, after polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, periplasmic extracts fromE. coli carrying pPFC4 show six distinct bands with endoglucanase activity. The molecular mass of the major endoglucanase band is approximately 29 kDa while the remaining bands with endoglucanase activity range from 48 to 100 kDa. Although the basis of this heterogeneity is not known, the DNA insert of pPFC4 that encodes endoglucanase activity is not large enough to contain six separate genes; hence, the observed array of endoglucanases may result from post-translational modification of one or two primary gene products.
