  • Title: Leuconostoc citreum SK24.002 glucansucrase: Biochemical characterisation and de novo synthesis of α-glucan.
    Author: Song L, Miao M, Jiang B, Xu T, Cui SW, Zhang T.
    Journal: Int J Biol Macromol; 2016 Oct; 91():123-31. PubMed ID: 27164499.
    Abstract:
    The cell-associated glucansucrase from Leuconostoc citreum SK24.002 was isolated, purified, characterized and used for de novo synthesis of α-glucan and acceptor-products. The final specific glucansucrase activity was 1.4U/mg protein with 13.2-fold purification. The obtained glucansucrase had a molecular weight of 186kDa,Tm of 61.7 °C and △H of 176.7kJ/mol. The enzyme showed maximum activity at pH 5.0-6.0 and 45°C. The enzyme activity was enhanced by Ca(2+), Mn(2+) or Co(2+) ions, whereas the activity decreased as the methanol, ethanol, n-butanol, DMSO or isopropanol concentration increased. The chemical inhibitors including BD, DTNB, EDC or NBS also significantly inhibited enzyme activity. Km, Vmax and kcat of glucansucrase were 10.9mM, 3.6U/mg and 306.6 1/s, respectively. For de novo synthesis from sucrose, α-glucan polymer with molecular weight of 1.5×10(7)g/mol and maltose acceptor products (trisaccharide, tetrasaccharide and pentasaccharide) were obtained by glucansucrase via glucosyltransfer reactions, respectively.
