    Abstract:
    Four phospholipases D (PLDs) in the culture supernatants from Streptomyces strains were purified to conduct a comparative study of their thermostabilities. Among the four purified PLDs, the enzyme from Streptomyces halstedii K1 lost its activity at 45 degrees C. PLD from Streptomyces septatus TH-2 was stable at the same temperature. We determined the nucleotide sequence encoding the PLD gene from S. halstedii K1 (K1PLD). The deduced amino acid sequence showed high homology to that of the PLD gene from S. septatus TH-2 (TH-2PLD). By comparison of the optimum temperature and the thermostability among recombinant PLDs, K1PLD, TH-2PLD and T/KPLD that possessed the N-terminus of TH-2PLD and the C-terminus of K1PLD, T/KPLD showed the properties midway between those of K1PLD and TH-2PLD. It was suggested that the 176 amino acids at C-terminus of Streptomyces PLD were important for its thermostability.
