Characterisation of maltase from enteropathogenicEscherichia coli

Abstract: Enteropathogenic strains of faecal Escherichia coli produced significantly (P < 0.01) more maltase than the non‐pathogenic strains of the organism. The enzyme was induced by maltose but repressed by glucose and fructose. The maltase was partially purified by ammonium sulphate precipitation, followed by dialysis and gel permeation chromatography. The partially purified maltase had an Mr of 144500 and an apparent Km of approx. 7.6 mM for maltose. The enzyme was stimulated by Ca2+, inhibited by Cu2+, Hg2+, Uo2+, … Show more

“…Previously, Mn 2+ was reported to stimulate the activity of α-glucosidase from Thermotoga maritima [21], Ca 2+ was required for the catalytic efficiency of the enzyme from E. coli [22], and Mucor racemosus α-glucosidase was able to be stimulated by Al 3+ , Ca 2+ , Mg 2+ and Na + [23]. In this study, the effect of metal ions on the activity of GSJ was analyzed by preincubating the enzyme with 1 mM metal ions at 65 °C for 1 h. As shown in Figure 5, Mg 2+ and K + did not affect the enzyme activity of GSJ, Cu 2+ , Zn 2+ and Ni 2+ strongly inhibited the enzyme activity by 12.3%–38.6%, while Fe 2+ almost completely inhibited the enzyme activity.…”

“…[25] If pH optimum for the enzyme from Escherichia coli was 6.9, [25] similar optimal pH, 6.5, was obtained for another Escherichia coli maltase. [26] Nevertheless, the maltase from the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae had pH optimum had pH optimum between 7.0 and 7.5, [17] but for enzyme of Saccharomyces carlsbergensis the pH optimum was found to be between pH 6.7 and 6.8. [27] The purified maltase of Bacillus subtilis was relatively stable at pH values of 5.5 to 6.6, [25] and pH stability range of partially purified enzyme from Bacillus brevis was from 5.0 to 7.0.…”

“…Maltose was transported to the E. coli cell via the maltodextrin/maltose transport proteins encoded by its maltose operon (mal) (Boos and Shuman, 1998). Then, maltase or α-glucosidase could catalyze the hydrolysis of maltose to two molecules of glucose, which were further metabolized by the central metabolic pathway (Olusanya and Olutiola, 1986). Several studies have demonstrated that the expression of genes in metabolic pathways in bacteria can be regulated by different carbon sources (Yao et al, 2011;Beisel and Afroz, 2016).…”
