CAZy Family: GH92

PROPERTIES

1.ELECTROPHORETIC PURITY

-Single band on SDS-gel electrophoresis (MW ~87 kDa)

Figure 1. Electrophoresis analysis of BtMan92J. 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, BtMan92J. purified from Ni sepharose fastflow column.

2.SPECIFIC ACTIVITY

0.59U/mg protein (on pNP-α-Man) at pH 7.0 and 37°C.

One Unit of pNP-α-Man activity is defined as the amount of enzyme required to release 1 umol of p-nitrophenyl per minute from  pNP-α-Man (5 mM) in PBS buffer (20 mM) pH 7.0.

3.RELATIVE RATES OF HYDROLYSIS OF SUBSTRATES

Table 1. Relative activity of BtMan92J. on different substrates^a.

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

^bAbsorption caused by released p-nitrophenol was measured at 405 nm.

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

Table2. Catalytic activity ofBtMan92J.

^aMannose release indicated the enzyme was active against the substrate (+), while no release of the sugar is indicative of no activity (–). The score for each protein is based on the HPlC signal for mannose after 16 h incubations with 1 µM of enzyme: HPlC signals > 500 nanocoulomb (nc), +++; 200–500 nc, ++; <200 nc, +;cNA: no activity was detected.

4.PHYSICOCHEMICAL PROPERTIES

pH Optima: suggested use 7.0

Temperature Optima: suggested use 37°C

5.STORAGE CONDITIONS

The enzyme should be stored at -20°C. For assay, this enzyme should be diluted in phosphate buffer (20 mM) pH7.0. Swirl to mix the enzyme immediately prior to use.
