Abstract
A beta-mannanase (EC 3.2.1.78) from Vibrio sp. strain MA-138 was purified by ammonium sulfate precipitation and several chromatographic procedures including gel filtration, adsorption, and ion-exchange chromatographies. The final ion-exchange chromatography Mono Q yielded one major active fraction and three minor active fractions. The major active fraction was purified to homogeneity on the basis of native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE). This purified enzyme was identified as a glycoprotein by periodic acid-Schiff staining and a monomeric protein with a molecular mass of 49 kDa by sodium dodecyl sulfate-PAGE. The pI of the enzyme was 3.8. The purified enzyme exhibited maximal activity at pH 6.5 and 40 degrees C and hydrolyzed at random the internal beta-1,4-mannosidic linkages in beta-mannan to give various sizes of oligosaccharides. The first 20 N-terminal amino acid sequence of the purified enzyme showed high homology with the N-terminal region of beta-mannanase from Streptomyces lividans 66.
