Abstrakt: α-Marmosidase was isolated from the culture liquid of Oerskovia sp. The purified enzyme had a molecular mass of 480 kDa and comprises four identical subunits. The enzyme cleaves bonds in side chains of yeast mannan (Km = 0.08 mM, kcat = 1.02 μmol min-1 · mg-1) and reveals a low activity towards p-nitrophenyl α-D-mannopyranoside. The a-mannosidase is a Ca2+-dependent enzyme and is inhibited by EDTA. The enzyme possess no endo-mannosidase activity releasing only mannose in the reaction with the inversion of anomeric configuration and could be classified as exo-α-mannanase. The enzyme revealed a high deglycosylating activity towards the short mannose-rich O-linked carbohydrate chains of glycoproteins. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
