The acetyl xylan esterase cloned homologously from Streptomyces lividans [Shareck, Biely, Morosoli and Kluepfel (1995) Gene 153, 105-109] was purified from culture filtrate of the overproducing strain S. lividans IAF43. The secreted enzyme had a molecular mass of 34 kDa and a pI of 9.0. Under the assay conditions with chemically acetylated birchwood xylan the kinetic constants of the enzyme were: specific activity, 715 units/mg, Km 7.94 mg/ml and Vmax 1977 units/mg. Optimal enzyme activity was obtained at 70 degrees C and pH 7.5. Hydrolysis assays with different acetylated substrates showed that the enzyme is specific for deacetylating the O-acetyl group of polysaccharides and is devoid of N-deacetylation activity. Sequential hydrolysis shows that its action is essential for the complete degradation of acetylated xylan by the xylanases of S. lividans.
从淡紫链霉菌中同源克隆的乙酰木聚糖酯酶[Shareck、Biely、Morosoli和Kluepfel(1995年),《基因》第153卷,第105 - 109页]是从高产菌株淡紫链霉菌IAF43的培养滤液中纯化得到的。分泌的酶分子量为34 kDa,等电点为9.0。在以化学乙酰化桦木木聚糖为底物的测定条件下,该酶的动力学常数为:比活性715单位/毫克,Km为7.94毫克/毫升,Vmax为1977单位/毫克。在70℃和pH 7.5条件下可获得最佳酶活性。用不同乙酰化底物进行的水解试验表明,该酶对多糖的O - 乙酰基脱乙酰作用具有特异性,且没有N - 脱乙酰活性。连续水解表明,其作用对于淡紫链霉菌木聚糖酶完全降解乙酰化木聚糖至关重要。
