Title Characterization of Bacillus halodurans alpha-galactosidase Mel4A encoded by the mel4A gene (BH2228).
Journal Biosci Biotechnol Biochem
Abstract A family-4 alpha-galactosidase Mel4A of Bacillus halodurans was expressed in Escherichia coli and characterized. Recombinant enzyme rMel4A depended on NAD+, some divalent cations such as Mn2+, and reducing reagents such as dithiothreitol. rMel4A was active on small saccharides such as raffinose but not on highly polymerized galactomannan. Immunological analysis indicated that raffinose induced the production of Mel4A in B. halodurans.
