A crude inulinase preparation, from Aspergillus, was fractioned in a sequence of operations, including ion exchange chromatography on CM-Sepharose and high-performance gel permeation chromatography. Two highly purified inulin-degrading enzymes were thus obtained and some of their characteristics were established. The first enzyme had an endo-type activity, a Mr of 53,000, and Km = 570 mm (in terms of glycosidic bonds). The second was of the exo-type, and has a Mr of 81,000 and Km = 60 mm (in terms of inulin chains). The two enzymes are highly activated (up to 20-fold) by Fe3+ and partially inhibited by Mn2+ and Mg2+. Both enzymes also exhibit invertase activity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
