CAZy Family: GH42

PROPERTIES

1.ELECTROPHORETIC PURITY

-Single band on SDS-gel electrophoresis (MW ~55kDa)

Figure 1. Electrophoresis analysis of LpGal42A. 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, LpGal42A purified from Ni sepharose fastflow column.

2.SPECIFIC ACTIVITY

0.46 U/mg protein (on pNP-β-gal) at pH 7.0 and 37°C.

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

3.RELATIVE RATES OF HYDROLYSIS OF SUBSTRATES

Table 1. Relative activity of LpGal42A on different substrates^a.

^aReactions were performed with 5mM substrate, pH 7.0, at 37°C for 10 min.

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

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

Figure 2.HPAEC was used to detect the hydrolysis of LpGal42A on galactise and galactan.

The activity at optimum temperature was defifined as 100%. (b)Thermostability. Assays were carried out in 50 mM phosphate buffer (pH6.0) at 35°C-55°C for 12 h. 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 (20 mM) pH 7.0. Swirl to mix the enzyme immediately prior to use.
