Figures 2,3, and 4 show SDS page gels for the native CelA enzyme, the recombinant form of the enzyme, and a gel comparing the activity and protein of both. Figure 2 shows the native CelA molecular mass corresponds to the expected value. This information is important for future comparisons to recombinant types. Figure 3 shows the recombinant CelA molecular mass and activity after boiling with proteinase K. The control (lane 2) showed activity bands at higher molecular weights than the native enzyme. After boiling, activity began to disappear and a protein band of 26 kDa appeared in lanes 3, 4, and 5. Figure 4 shows an SDS gel with CMC for both enzymes. The native activity band appeared in a corresponding position to the smallest activity band of the recombinant enzyme. The same activity bands were seen regardless of heating with protease.

Figure 6 shows changes in viscosity from the DDA 73% chitosan. This clearly indicates that hydrolysis occurred inside the polymers, proving that Chi is an endoacting chitinase on chitopolysaccharides.

Table 2 shows the activity of the native and recombinant enzymes and their ability to utilize substrates in the mannosylglycerate biosynthetic pathway. The native enzyme was obtained by electroelution and had a specific activity of 70mmol/min/mg of protein. The substrates used to determine the specificity of Mgs were GDP mannose, ADP mannose, UDP mannose,mannose 1-phosphate, and mannose 6-phosphate as sugar donors,and D-glycerate,L-glycerate, and D-3-P-glycerate as sugar acceptors. GDP glucose, UDP glucose, and ADP glucose were tested as

sugar donors, and glycerol 3-phosphate, glucose 6-phosphate,glucose 1-phosphate, and glucose as sugar acceptors in an effort to also identify the ability of Mgs to catalyze the synthesis of other glycosylconjugates. Mgs was specific for GDP mannose and D-glycerate and had an absolute stereospecificity for D-glycerate. UDP mannose and GDP mannose were the only sugar nucleotides used by the enzyme. UDP mannose was used very little, less than 3% of that of GDP mannose. NaCl and KCl (50-500 mM concentrations) had no effect on enzyme activity. However, Mg2+ was required for optimal activity shown by the 2.5-fold lower activity in absence of the cation.

Figures 5 and 6 confirm the hydrolase function of the LamR enzyme, which is expressed by the lamR gene. Both figures show digests separated by TLC. In figure 5, the intermediate appearance of oligosaccharides detected after a short incubation time prove that the hydrolysis of 1,3-1,4-beta-glucan and laminarin follows the endo type action pattern.

In figure 6, LamR displayed a weak and significant activity against cellobiosyl-glucose G1-4G1-3Gr, which suggests that LamR is able to cut specific beta linkages only in low-molecular-mass carbohydrates.

Figure 9 shows the absorbance spectra of the iodine-glucan complex of the a-glucan formed de novo by the purified branching enzyme and phosphorylase a (ratio of 1:1). The combination of the actions of phosphorylase a and GlgB yielded a branched product with a spectrum similar to glycogen. The initial Xmax was 490nm, but as the reaction proceeded decreased to 430nm, indicating a highly branched product.

Figure 5 RrgA is involved in pilus-mediated colonization of the upper respiratory tract in mice. The mice were infected with T4 phage with rrgA and rrgB/rrgC deletions respectively. Seven days after infection, Mice infected with T4 rrgA deletion phage had significantly less bacteria in the nasopharynx than mice infected with T4 rrgB/rrgC deletion phage. This demonstrates that rrgA is important for pilli assembly and strong cell wall adhesion.
