          Abstract

          The purpose of this work was to characterize the enzyme penicillin G acylase (PGA) produced by Bacillus megaterium. Purification of the enzyme by ultra/diafiltration did not allow the detection of the PGA band by SDS-PAGE electrophoresis due to the high content of remaining proteins. However, using the DNA of the microorganism, it was possible to replicate the genes of the two B. megaterium PGA reported in literature, showing that the enzyme consisted of two sub-units, having 245 and 537 amino acids each and an average molecular mass of 26950 and 59070 Da, respectively. The parameters studied were: 1) the influence of temperature in the 25-60(0)C range, 2) pH in the 5-10 range and 3) substrate concentration, this was tested to obtain results on the Penicillin G hydrolysis reaction rate, using the initial velocities approach. The maximum hydrolysis rate was obtained at 37ºC and pH 8.0. The Michaelis-Menten model fitted well, resulting in estimated Km and Vmax parameters values of 1.83 mM and 0.165*10-3 mmol/min/UI, respectively.

          O objetivo deste trabalho foi caracterizar a enzima penicilina G acilase (PGA) produzida por Bacillus megaterium, uma importante enzima industrial que catalisa a hidrólise de penicilina G, para produção de antibióticos semi-sintéticos. Purificação da enzima por ultra/diafiltração não permitiu detectar a banda de PGA por eletroforese SDS-PAGE devido ao elevado conteúdo de outras proteínas remanescentes. Contudo, utilizando DNA do microrganismo que vem sendo estudado, foi possível amplificar os genes das duas sub-unidades de PGA previstas na literatura, mostrando que a enzima em estudo é também constituída de duas sub-unidades, 245 e 537 aminoácidos cada, com massas moleculares médias de 26950 e 59070 Da, respectivamente. Foram estudadas as influências da temperatura 25-60(0)C, pH 5-10, e concentração do substrato na velocidade da reação de hidrólise da penicilina G. A temperatura e pH ótimos foram de 37(0)C e 8,0, respectivamente. O modelo de Michaelis-Menten representou bem a cinética da reação, com valores de parâmetros estimados de 1,83 mM para Km e Vmáx= 0,165*10-3 mmol/min/UI.
