Purificação e estudos bioquímicos de exo-poligalacturonase (pectinase) produzida pelo fungo termofílico Rhizomucor pusillus, em cultivo submerso e aplicação na extração de sucos de frutas e hidrólise enzimática do bagaço de cana-de-açúcar

Abstract

As pectinases são um grupo de enzimas capazes de degradar polissacarídeos pécticos (pectinas). Estas enzimas são utilizadas na indústria de produção de sucos de frutas, vinhos, têxtil, papel, chá, óleos e etc. O presente trabalho teve por objetivo produzir, purificar e caracterizar a pectinase exo-poligacturonase (exo-PG - EC 3.2.1.67) do fun-go termofílico Rhizomucor pusillus. A enzima foi produzida por cultivo submerso e puri-ficada por salting-out e cromatografia. Este método se revelou como o mais adequado empregando 95 % de sulfato de amônio, sendo que com esta técnica foi possível obter a enzima quase livre de contaminantes e com um rendimento de aproximadamente 74 %. Um passo subsequente de cromatografia de interação hidrofóbica é capaz de re-mover os contaminantes remanescentes. A enzima pura possui massa molecular ao redor de 43,5-47 kDa, pH ótimo de 4,0, temperatura ótima de 61 °C, é estável a uma faixa de pH que varia de 3,5 a 6,5, possui estabilidade térmica de 30 até 60 °C e é ati-vada na presença de Ca+2. O ponto isoelétrico da exo-PG é 6,2 e estudos termodinâ-micos mostraram se tratar de uma enzima termofílica, destacando seu tempo de meia-vida t1/2 de 2.310 min., a 50 °C. O perfil da hidrólise foi analisado por eletroforese capi-lar e os estudos indicam que a enzima em estudo apresenta um padrão de hidrólise sequencial (exo). A identificação dos aminoácidos por espectrometria de massa do tipo MALDI-TOF e a comparação com bancos de dados revelou a maior identidade dos fragmentos sequenciados da exo-PG de R. pusillus com a enzima correspondente de Aspergillus fumigatus. Os testes de aplicação das enzimas do extrato bruto mostraram um aumento da extração de suco e um auxílio no processo de hidrólise, sendo que este não foi observado com a enzima pura

Pectinases are a group of enzymes capable of degrading pectic polysaccharides (pec-tin). These enzymes are used in the industry for production of fruit juices, wines, tex-tiles, paper, tea, oils, etc. This study aimed to produce, purify and characterize an exo-poligacturonase (exo-PG - EC 3.2.1.67) from the thermophilic fungus Rhizomucor pu-sillus. The enzyme was produced by submerged cultivation and purified by chromatog-raphy and salting out. This has proved to be the most appropriate using 95 % ammoni-um sulfate, and with this technique it was possible to obtain the enzyme almost free of contaminants and with a yield of approximately 74 %. A subsequent step of hydropho-bic interaction chromatography is able to remove the remaining contaminants. The pure enzyme has molecular mass around 43.5-47 kDa, optimum pH of 4.0, optimum tem-perature of 61 °C, is stable at a pH range between 3.5 and 6.5, presents thermal stability from 30 to 60 °C and is activated in the presence Ca2+. The isoelectric point of the exo-PG is 6.2 and thermodynamic studies have shown that it is a thermophilic enzyme, highlighting its half-life t1/2 of 2,310 minutes at 50 °C. The profile of hydrolysis was ana-lyzed by capillary electrophoresis and studies indicate that the enzyme in this study has a pattern of sequential hydrolysis (exo). The identification of amino acids by mass spec-trometry MALDI-TOF and a comparison with data banks showed the highest identity of the sequenced fragments of exo-PG from R. pusillus with the corresponding enzyme from Aspergillus fumigatus. The application tests of the enzymes of the crude extract showed increased extra juice extraction and a higher yield in the hydrolysis process, but this was not observed with the pure enzyme
