Depolymerase

Each fruit has specific quantities and ratio of pectin, hemicelluloses and cellulose. These polysaccharides are important concerning enzymes activities required to produce juices and concentrates. Moreover, even if molecular weight and methylation degree of the pectin are specific for each fruit, during the fruit maturation, endogenous pectinases depolymerases and esterase are changing the pectin characteristics This broad variability of raw material makes difficult the standardisation of fruits processing.

Synthesis of PHAs in plants can not only be used directly in biotechnology for the creation of novel crop plants, but can also be a utilized as a unique novel tool in the basic studies of plant biochemistry. PHA synthesized in plants acts as a terminal carbon sink, since plants do not have enzymes, such as PHA depolymerases [68], required for degradation of the polymer. The quantity and composition of PHA can thus be used to monitor the quantity and quality of the carbon flux to different pathways. [Pg.222]

Polyesters, such as microbially produced poly[(P)-3-hydroxybutyric acid] [poly(3HB)], other poly[(P)-hydroxyalkanoic acids] [poly(HA)] and related biosynthetic or chemosynthetic polyesters are a class of polymers that have potential applications as thermoplastic elastomers. In contrast to poly(ethylene) and similar polymers with saturated, non-functionalized carbon backbones, poly(HA) can be biodegraded to water, methane, and/or carbon dioxide. This review provides an overview of the microbiology, biochemistry and molecular biology of poly(HA) biodegradation. In particular, the properties of extracellular and intracellular poly(HA) hydrolyzing enzymes [poly(HA) depolymerases] are described. [Pg.289]

A relatively small molecular weight (<70 kDa) with most depolymerases consisting of only one polypeptide. [Pg.293]

Most poly(HA) depolymerases are inhibited by reducing agents, e.g., dithio-erythritol (DTT), which indicates the presence of essential disulfide bonds, and by serine hydrolase inhibitors such as diisopropyl-fluoryl phosphate (DFP) or acylsulfonyl derivates. The latter compounds covalently bind to the active site serine of serine hydrolases and irreversibly inhibit enzyme activity [48]. [Pg.293]
