The characteristics of protein-glutaminase from an isolated Chryseobacterium cucumeris strain and its deamidation application.

ABSTRACT: Protein-glutaminase (PG), a deamidation enzyme commercially derived from Chryseobacterium proteolyticum, is used to improve the solubility and other functional properties of food proteins. In this study, a new PG-producing strain, Chryseobacterium cucumeris ZYF120413-7, was isolated from soil, and it had a high PG yield and a short culture time. It gave the maximum PG activity with 0.557 U/ml on Cbz-Gln-Gly after 12 h of culture, indicating that it was more suitable for PG production. The enzyme activity recovery and purification fold were 32.95% and 161.95-fold, respectively, with a specific activity of 27.37 U/mg. The PG was a pre-pro-protein with a 16 amino acids putative signal peptide, a pro-PG of 118 amino acids, and a mature PG of 185 amino acids. The amino acid sequen
