Biochemical properties of a native β-1,4-mannanase from Aspergillus aculeatus QH1 and partial characterization of its N-glycosylation.

ABSTRACT: N-glycosylation plays critical roles in protein secretion, sorting, stability, activity modulation, and interactions to other molecules in the eukaryotic organisms. Fungal β-1,4-mannanases have been widely used in the agri-food industry and contribute to the pathogenesis on plants. However, the information on N-glycosylation of a specific fungal carbohydrate-active enzyme (CAZyme) is currently limited. Herein, a cDNA was cloned from Aspergillus aculeatus QH1, displaying a full length of 1302 bp with an open reading frame of 1134 bp encoding for a GH5 subfamily 7 β-1, 4-mannanase, namely AacMan5_7A. The enzyme was purified and exhibited an optimal activity at pH 4.6 and 60 °C, hydrolyzing glucomannan and galactomannan, but not yeast mannan. AacMan5_7A is an N-glycosylated protein dec
