pubmed:abstractText |
alpha-Amylase from alkaliphilic Bacillus KSM-1378 (LAMY) is a novel semi-alkaline enzyme which has a high specific activity, a value 5-fold higher than that of a Bacillus licheniformis enzyme at alkaline pH. Thermostability of this enzyme could be improved by deletion of the Arg181-Gly182 residue by means of site-directed mutagenesis. The wild-type and engineered LAMYs were very similar with respect to specific activity, pH-activity curve, temperature-activity curve, susceptibility to inhibitors, and pattern of hydrolysis products from soluble starch and maltooligosaccharides. However, the engineered enzyme also acquired increased pH stability and resistance to sodium dodecyl sulfate and especially chelating reagents, such as ethylenediaminetetraacetate and ethyleneglycol-bis (beta-aminoethylether)tetraacetate. This is the first report that thermostability of alpha-amylase is improved by enhanced calcium binding to the enzyme molecule.
