A cold-active alpha-amylase was purified from culture supernatants of the antarctic psychrophile Alteromonas haloplanctis A23 grown at 4 degrees C. In order to contribute to the understanding of the molecular basis of cold adaptations, crystallographic studies of this cold-adapted enzyme have been initiated because a three-dimensional structure of a mesophilic counterpart, pig pancreatic alpha-amylase, already exists. alpha-Amylase from A. haloplanctis, which shares 53% sequence identity with pig pancreatic alpha-amylase, has been crystallized and data to 1.85 A have been collected. The space group is found to be C222(1) with a = 71.40 A, b = 138.88 A, and c = 115.66 A. Until now, a three-dimensional structure of a psychrophilic enzyme is lacking.
从在4℃下培养的南极嗜冷菌嗜盐栖热袍菌A23的培养上清液中纯化出一种冷活性α-淀粉酶。为了有助于理解冷适应的分子基础,已经开始对这种冷适应酶进行晶体学研究,因为已经存在嗜温对应物猪胰α-淀粉酶的三维结构。与猪胰α-淀粉酶具有53%序列同一性的嗜盐栖热袍菌α-淀粉酶已经结晶,并收集到了分辨率为1.85 Å的数据。发现空间群为C222(1),a = 71.40 Å,b = 138.88 Å,c = 115.66 Å。到目前为止,还缺乏嗜冷酶的三维结构。
