Abstract

Amylosucrase (AS), a glucosyltransferase of the glycoside hydrolase 13 family, does not require a nucleotide-activated sugar as a glucosyl-donor. A gene (drpas) of Deinococcus radiopugnans encoding a putative AS was identified and cloned for characterization. The amino acid sequence revealed that drpas exhibited 76 and 74% identities with AS genes from D. geothermalis and D. radiodurans, respectively. Recombinant DRpAS exhibited AS activities. The ratios of hydrolysis, polymerization, and isomerization reactions were 5.8:82.7:11.5 at 40°C. The DRpAS was highly thermostable and produced more polymerization products than AS from D. radiodurans although the optimum growth temperature of both strains is 30°C.
