TAILIEUCHUNG - Báo cáo Y học: The b-1,4-endogalactanase A gene from Aspergillus niger is specifically induced on arabinose and galacturonic acid and plays an important role in the degradation of pectic hairy regions

TheAspergillus nigerb-1,4-endogalactanase encoding gene (galA) was cloned and characterized. The expression ofgalA in A. nigerwas only detected in the presence of sugar beet pectin,D-galacturonic acid andL-arabinose, suggesting that galAis coregulatedwithboth thepectinolyticgenes aswell as the arabinanolytic genes. The corresponding enzyme, endogalactanase A (GALA), contains both active site resi-dues identified previously for thePseudomonas fluorescens b-1,4-endogalactanase. | Eur. J.

The expression of galA in A. niger was only detected in the presence of sugar beet pectin D-galacturonic acid and L-arabinose suggesting that galA is coregulated with both the pectinolytic genes as well as the arabinanolytic genes. The corresponding enzyme endogalactanase A GALA contains both active site residues identified previously for the Pseudomonas fluorescens b-1 4-endogalactanase. The galA gene was overexpressed to facilitate purification of GALA. The enzyme has a molecular mass of kDa and a pH optimum between 4 and . Incubations of arabinogalactans of potato onion and soy with GALA resulted initially in the release of D-galactotriose and D-galactotetra-ose whereas prolonged incubation resulted in D-galactose and D-galactobiose predominantly. MALDI-TOF analysis revealed the release of L-arabinose substituted D-galacto-oligosaccharides from soy arabinogalactan. This is the first report of the ability of a b-1 4-endogalactanase to release substituted D-galacto-oligosaccharides. GALA was not active towards D-galacto-oligosaccharides that were substituted with D-glucose at the reducing end.

Endogalactanases are involved in the degradation of plant cell wall polysaccharides in particular pectin. Two types of arabinogalactan side chains are
