α-L-rhamnosidase from Aspergillus clavato-nanicus MTCC-9611 active at alkaline pH

α-L-rhamnosidase from Aspergillus clavato-nanicus MTCC-9611 active at alkaline pH An a-L-rhamnosidase secreting fungal strain has been isolated and identified as Aspergillus clavato-nanicus MTCC-9611. The enzyme was purified to homogeneity from the culture filtrate of the fungus using concentration by ultrafiltration membrane and ion-exchange chromatography on CM-cellulose. The native PAGE analysis confirmed the homogeneity of the purified enzyme. The SDS-PAGE analysis of the purified enzyme revealed a single protein band corresponding to the molecular weight 82 kDa. The α-L-rhamnosidase activity of Aspergillus clavato-nanicus MTCC-9611 had optimum at pH 10.0 and 50°C. The K m values of the enzyme were 0.65 mM and 0.95 mM using p-nitrophenyl α-L-rhamnopyranoside and naringin as a substrates respectively. The enzyme transforms naringin to prunin at pH 10.0 and further hydrolysis of prunin to naringenin does not occur under these reaction conditions that makes α-L-rhamnosidase activity of Aspergillus clavato-nanicus MTCC-9611 promising enzyme to get prunin for pharmaceutical purposes. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Applied Biochemistry and Microbiology Springer Journals

Abstract

An a-L-rhamnosidase secreting fungal strain has been isolated and identified as Aspergillus clavato-nanicus MTCC-9611. The enzyme was purified to homogeneity from the culture filtrate of the fungus using concentration by ultrafiltration membrane and ion-exchange chromatography on CM-cellulose. The native PAGE analysis confirmed the homogeneity of the purified enzyme. The SDS-PAGE analysis of the purified enzyme revealed a single protein band corresponding to the molecular weight 82 kDa. The α-L-rhamnosidase activity of Aspergillus clavato-nanicus MTCC-9611 had optimum at pH 10.0 and 50°C. The K m values of the enzyme were 0.65 mM and 0.95 mM using p-nitrophenyl α-L-rhamnopyranoside and naringin as a substrates respectively. The enzyme transforms naringin to prunin at pH 10.0 and further hydrolysis of prunin to naringenin does not occur under these reaction conditions that makes α-L-rhamnosidase activity of Aspergillus clavato-nanicus MTCC-9611 promising enzyme to get prunin for pharmaceutical purposes.
