An enzyme, l-ribose isomerase (l-RI), mostly catalyzes the isomerization of l-ribose and l-ribulose. These so-called rare sugars are essential for the treatment of cancer and other viral diseases. In the present study, l-ribose isomerase produced from a bacterium, Mycetocola miduiensis (Mm-LRIse), by using l-ribose as a carbon source. The recombinant l-ribose isomerase gene was cloned and overexpressed from M. miduiensis and purified with an exclusive band of 32 kDa by nickel-affinity chromatography. This gene possessed 267 amino acids protein having an estimated molecular weight of 29,568.17 Da. The native molecular weight of Mm-LRIse estimated by HPLC was 134.84 kDa. The recombinant l-ribose isomerase was highly active in sodium phosphate (50 mM) buffer at 40 °C and pH 7.5, showing the specific activity up to 47.40 U mg. Mm-LRIse showed no significant enhancement in activity with metallic ions except Mn and Co. The values of Km, K, K/Km and V of Mm-LRIse against l-ribose substrate were 42.48 mM, 9259.26 min, 217.43 min mM, and 277.78 U mg respectively. At equilibrium, the l-ribulose transformation rate was nearly 32 % (6.34 g L) using 20 g L of l-ribose. The results revealed that the Mm-LRIse enzyme has a potential for L-ribulose production from l-ribose.
一种酶,L-核糖异构酶(l-RI),主要催化 L-核糖和 L-核酮糖的异构化。这些所谓的稀有糖对于治疗癌症和其他病毒性疾病至关重要。在本研究中,使用 L-核糖作为碳源,从细菌 Mycetocola miduiensis(Mm-LRIse)中生产 L-核糖异构酶。通过镍亲和层析,从 M. miduiensis 中克隆和过表达重组 L-核糖异构酶基因,并纯化出 32 kDa 的特有条带。该基因具有 267 个氨基酸的蛋白质,估计分子量为 29568.17 Da。通过 HPLC 估算的 Mm-LRIse 的天然分子量为 134.84 kDa。重组 L-核糖异构酶在 40°C 和 pH 7.5 的磷酸钠(50 mM)缓冲液中具有很高的活性,表现出高达 47.40 U mg 的比活性。除 Mn 和 Co 外,Mm-LRIse 的活性没有明显增强金属离子。Mm-LRIse 对 L-核糖底物的 Km、K、K/Km 和 V 值分别为 42.48 mM、9259.26 min、217.43 min mM 和 277.78 U mg。在平衡时,使用 20 g L 的 L-核糖,L-核酮糖的转化率接近 32%(6.34 g L)。结果表明,Mm-LRIse 酶具有从 L-核糖生产 L-核酮糖的潜力。
