Fig 1. Electrophoresis analysis of BhRgl11A. M, molecular weight marker (PageRuler Prestained Protein Ladder, Thermo Scientific); lane 1, culture lysate before IPTG induction; lane 2, culture lysate after IPTG induction; lane 3, BhRgl11A purified from Ni sepharose fast flow column.

2. SPECIFIC ACTIVITY

4.9 U/mg protein (on RG-I-AT from Adenophora tetraphylla(Thunb.)Fisch.) at pH7.0 and 30°C.

One unit of RGL activity was defined as the amount of enzyme required to generate 1 mmol of 4,5-unsaturated galacturonic acid in 1 min.

Figure 3. Effect of temperature and pH on the activity and stability of recombinant BhRgl11A. (A) Optimum pH. Assays were carried out at 55°C for 10 min in buffers ranging in pH from 2.0 to 11.0. The activity at optimum pH was defifined as 100%. (B) pH stability. Assays were carried out after the incubation of the enzyme in buffers ranging from pH 2.0-11.0 at 4°C. (C) Optimum temperature. Activity was measured between 20°C and 80°C at pH 8.0 for 10 min. The activity at optimum temperature was defifined as 100%. (D) Thermostability. Assays were carried out in 50 mM phosphate buffer (pH 7.0) at 55°C for 10 min after the incubation of the enzyme at 40-60°C. The activity without heat treatment was defifined as 100%.

5. STORAGE CONDITIONS

The enzyme should be stored at -20°C. For assay, this enzyme should be diluted in phosphate buffer (50 mM) pH 8.0. Swirl to mix the enzyme immediately prior to use.
