- Abstract
Fucoidan oligosaccharides possesses diverse physicochemical and biological activities. Specific glycoside hydrolases are valuable tools for degrading polysaccharides to produce oligosaccharides. In this study, BcFucA, a novel fucosidase belonging to GH95 family from Bacillus cereus 2-8, was cloned into pET21a vector, expressed in E. coli BL21 (DE3) and characterized. The protein consists of 1136 amino acid residues encoded by 3411 bases and has a molecular weight of 125.35 kDa. The optimal temperature and pH of this enzyme are 50 °C and pH 4.0. In addition, this study showed that the unknown function domain (encoding Lys261-Thr681) defined as a linker is quite important for its activity. The obtained novel enzyme BcFucA will contribute to the effective degradation of fucoidan and future industrial applications., (Copyright © 2021 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.)
