(EC 3.2.1.51) exo-α-Fucosidase

CAZy Family: GH29

PROPERTIES

1.ELECTROPHORETIC PURITY

-Single band on SDS-gel electrophoresis (MW ~52kDa)

Fig.1 Electrophoresis analysis of EmFuc29A. 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, EmFuc29A purified from Ni sepharose fastflow column.

2.SPECIFIC ACTIVITY

0.10 U/mg protein (on pNP-α-fuc) at pH 7.0 and 37°C

One Unit of pNP-α-fuc activity is defined as the amount of enzyme required to release 1 μmol of p-nitrophenyl per hour from pNP-α-fuc (5 mM) in sodium phosphate buffer (20 mM) pH 7.0.

3.RELATIVE RATES OF HYDROLYSIS OF SUBSTRATES

Table 1. Relative activity of BfFuc29B on different substrates^a.

^aReactions were performed with 5 mM substrate, pH 7.0, at 37°C for 30 min.

^bAbsorption caused by released p-nitrophenol was measured at 405 nm. The relative activity on pNPαFuc was taken as 100%.

^cThe data are reported as means±standard errors from the mean for three independent experiments.
