Characterization of a GHF45 cellulase, AkEG21, from the common sea hare Aplysia kurodai
The common sea hare Aplysia kurodai is known to be a good source for the enzymes degrading seaweed polysaccharides. Recently four cellulases, i.e., 95, 66, 45, and 21 kDa enzymes, were isolated from A. kurodai (Tsuji et al., 2013). The former three cellulases were regarded as glycosyl-hydrolase-family 9 (GHF9) enzymes, while the 21 kDa cellulase was suggested to be a GHF45 enzyme. The 21 kDa ce...
متن کاملA galactose-binding lectin isolated from Aplysia kurodai (sea hare) eggs inhibits streptolysin-induced hemolysis.
A specific galactose-binding lectin was shown to inhibit the hemolytic effect of streptolysin O (SLO), an exotoxin produced by Streptococcus pyogenes. Commercially available lectins that recognize N-acetyllactosamine (ECA), T-antigen (PNA), and Tn-antigen (ABA) agglutinated rabbit erythrocytes, but had no effect on SLO-induced hemolysis. In contrast, SLO-induced hemolysis was inhibited by AKL, ...
متن کاملA laminaribiose-hydrolyzing enzyme, AkLab, from the common sea hare Aplysia kurodai and its transglycosylation activity.
Endo-β-1,3-glucanases (laminarinase, EC 3.2.1.6) from marine molluscs specifically degrades laminarin from brown algae producing laminaribiose and glucose, but hardly degrades laminaribiose. For the complete depolymerization of laminarin, other enzymes that can hydrolyze laminaribiose appear to be necessary. In the present study, we successfully isolated a laminaribiose-hydrolyzing enzyme from ...
متن کاملStructure of β-1,4-mannanase from the common sea hare Aplysia kurodai at 1.05 Å resolution.
β-1,4-Mannanase (EC 3.2.1.78) catalyzes the hydrolysis of β-1,4-glycosidic bonds within mannan, a major constituent group of the hemicelluloses. Bivalves and gastropods possess β-1,4-mannanase and may degrade mannan in seaweed and/or phytoplankton to obtain carbon and energy using the secreted enzymes in their digestive systems. In the present study, the crystal structure of AkMan, a gastropod ...
متن کاملNew Cytotoxic and Antibacterial Compounds Isolated from the Sea Hare, Aplysia kurodai
The extract of the sea hare, Aplysia kurodai, showed cytotoxicity against HeLa cells and antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus. Bioassay-guided purification afforded four active compounds, which were identified to be laurinterol, laurinterol acetate, debromolaurinterol, and debromolaurinterol acetate by spectroscopic analysis. Although the acetates were derived from laurinterol a...
