A new cold-active β-galactosidase from Arthrobacter sp. S3* - gene cloning, overexpression, purification and properties
PublikacjaA psychrotrophic bacterium producing a cold-active β-galactosidase was isolated from Spitsbergen soil and classified as Arthrobacter sp. S3*. The gene encoding β-galactosidase was isolated from the genomic DNA library, sequenced, cloned, expressed in Escherichia coli, purified by ion exchange chromatography and characterized. The Arthrobaster sp. S3* β-galactosidase is a homotrimeric enzyme composed of 74,4 kDa subunits. It is...

A novel cold-active beta-D-galactosidase from the Paracoccus sp. 32d - gene cloning, purification and characterization
PublikacjaBeta-D-galactosidase (EC 3.2.1.23) catalyze the hydrolysis of terminal non-reducing beta-D-galactose residues in beta-D-galactosides. Cold-active beta-D-galactosidases have recently become a focus of attention of researchers and dairy product manufactures owing to theirs ability to: (I) eliminate of lactose from refrigerated milk for people afflicted with lactose intolerance, (II) convert lactose to glucose and galactose which...

Cloning, expression, and purification of a recombinant cold-adapted β-galactosidase from antarctic bacterium Pseudoalteromonas sp. 22b
PublikacjaAntarktyczny szczep, gram-ujemnych bakterii Pseudoalteromonas sp. 22b, wyizolowanych z przewodu pokarmowego kryla z gatunku Thyssanoessa macrura, jest producentem wewnątrzkomórkowej zimnolubnej beta-galaktozydazy. Białko to jest homotetramerem, w którym każda z jednostek monomeru zbudowana jest z 1028 reszt aminokwasowych. Gen kodujący ten enzym został sklonowany i eksprymowany w komórkach E. coli. Następnie z zastosowaniem procedury...
