Disclosed are a recombinant thermostable enzyme, which converts maltose into trehalose and is stable up to a temperature of about 80.degree. C. even when incubated at pH 7.0 for 60 min, a preparation of the enzyme, a DNA encoding the enzyme, a recombinant DNA containing the DNA, a transformant, and an enzymatic conversion method of maltose by using the enzyme.
摘要:
A thermostable trehalose phosphorylase which is obtainable from microorganisms of the genus Thermoanaerobium and which hydrolyzes trehalose in the presence of an inorganic phosphoric acid to form D-glucose and .beta.-D-glucose-1-phosphoric acid. The trehalose phosphorylase can be also prepared by recombinant DNA technology. When the enzyme is allowed to contact with .beta.-D-glucose-1-phosphoric acid as a saccharide donor in the presence of other saccharides, glucosyl-transferred saccharides including glucosyl-D-galactoside, which are conventionally known but scarcely obtainable, can be produced on an industrial-scale and in a relatively-low cost.
摘要:
A DNA encoding an enzyme, which forms non-reducing saccharides having trehalose structure as an end unit from amylaceous saccharides having a degree of glucose polymerization of 3 or higher, enables an industrial-scale production of a recombinant enzyme with such enzyme activity. Non-reducing saccharides obtainable by the recombinant enzyme can be used in a variety of food products, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals and feeds because of their substantial non-reducibility, mild and high-quality sweetness, adequate viscosity, and moisture-retaining ability.
摘要:
A recombinant enzyme, having a molecular weight of about 57,000-67,000 daltons on SDS-PAGE and a pI of about 4.1-5.1 on isoelectrophoresis, which converts maltose into trehalose and vice versa. Depending on the enzymatic conditions, the enzyme forms about 70 w/w % of trehalose when acts on maltose, while about 20 w/w % of maltose when acts on trehalose. The culture of a transformant, prepared by introducing into a host a recombinant DNA containing a DNA coding for the enzyme and a self-replicable vector, facilitates the industrial-scale production of trehalose.
