Abstract/OtherAbstract:
The Clostridium stercorarium F-9 pel9A gene encodes a pectate lyase Pel9A consisting of 1,240 amino acids with a molecular weight of 135,171. The mature form of Pel9A is a modular enzyme composed of two family-9 catalytic modules of polysaccharide lyases, CM9-1 and CM9-2, in order from the N terminus. Pel9A showed an overall sequence similarity to the hypothetical pectate lyase PelX of Bacillus halodurans (sequence identity 53%), and CM9-2 showed moderate sequence similarities to some pectate lyases of family 9. Sequence identity between CM9-1 and CM9-2 was 21.3%. The full-length Pel9A lacking the N-terminal signal peptide was expressed, purified, and characterized. The enzyme required Ca(2+) ion for its enzyme activity and showed high activity toward polygalacturonic acid but lower activity toward pectin, indicating that Pel9A is a pectate lyase. Immunological analysis using an antiserum raised against the purified enzyme indicated that Pel9A is constitutively synthesized by C. stercorarium F-9.
