摘要: 【目的】研究大蒜(Allium sativum L.)中蔗糖﹕蔗糖1-果糖基转移酶(1-SST)的酶学特征,为大蒜保鲜、加工和品质改良提供依据。【方法】采用饱和度10%、20%、30%、40%、50%、60%、70%、80%、90%和100%的硫酸铵分级沉淀1-SST,以确定其所在的硫酸铵部位。分别取1-SST活力最高的硫酸铵部分与底物蔗糖反应,研究其在不同的温度、pH、离子强度、底物质量浓度等条件下合成高果聚糖的能力,即采用高效液相色谱-蒸发光散射(HPLC-ELSD),测定1-SST反应前后的1-蔗果三糖的含量,进而计算出1-SST活力大小并总结出其在不同的温度、pH、离子强度、底物质量浓度等条件下合成高果聚糖反应的规律;采用的色谱柱为Prevail Carbohydrate ES柱(250 mm×4.6 mm,5 μm),色谱柱柱温箱温度为40℃,流动相最大限压20 MP,流动相为乙腈和水,其流速为1.0 mL·min-1,ELSD撞击器关闭状态,漂移管温度90℃,载气流量2.5 L·min-1(空气)。其梯度洗脱方式为:0 min,75%乙腈﹕25%水;15 min,65%乙腈﹕35%水;30 min,50%乙腈﹕50%水;35 min,75%乙腈﹕25%水;40 min,75%乙腈﹕25%水。【结果】在上述测定条件下,果糖、葡萄糖、蔗糖、1-蔗果三糖、蔗果四糖、蔗果五糖6种糖完全分离,出峰时间仅为20 min,测定方法可靠、灵敏度高,满足了测定1-SST活性的要求。以50%(w/w)蔗糖为底物时,仅产生1-蔗果三糖,无其它高果聚糖的产生,证实了在所试条件下,大蒜中1-SST反应具有专一性。大蒜1-SST主要存在于30%—40%硫酸铵饱和度部分,其中0—30%,40%—70%有轻微活力,未发现70%—100%硫酸铵组分有1-SST的活力。取30%—40%的硫酸铵饱和度部分作为样品研究1-SST酶学特征发现其最适反应温度为35℃,当温度到达40℃以上时,酶的活力下降的很快,说明1-SST具有热不稳定性,因此在研究大蒜1-SST时,要尽量避免高温,以免影响后续研究;其最适反应pH为5.0,与大麦(Hordeum vulgare)、菊苣(Cichorium intybus L.)、菊芋(Helianthus tuberosus Colombia )、黑麦草(Lolium rigidum)、龙舌兰(Agave americana L.)的1-SST最适pH大致相同,显示不同植物1-SST活力中心部位的结构可能基本一致;在蔗糖浓度为100—600 mg·mL-1内,酶活力随着底物质量浓度的增加而提高,而当底物浓度超过500 mg·mL-1时,酶活力增加的幅度减少而趋于平缓,这完全符合米氏方程(Michaelis-menten)的酶动力学性质;对于Na+、Cl-来说,离子强度越低,1-SST活力越强,1-SST在35℃下的米氏常数Km为104 mmol·L-1。【结论】大蒜1-SST随温度、pH、离子强度、底物质量浓度等变化,不仅影响大蒜贮藏过程中的果聚糖代谢,也影响大蒜加工产品,尤其是大蒜提取物中糖的种类和含量。

Abstract: 【Objective】 Enzymologic characteristics of sucrose: sucrose 1-fructosyltransferase (1-SST) in garlic (Allium sativum L.) was investigated to provide a basis for the preservation, processing and further quality improvements of fresh garlic.【Method】1-SST was fractional precipitated by ammonium sulfate with different saturations of 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90% and 100%, successively, in order to determine the fraction of the ammonium sulfate which 1-SST is in. 1-SST catalyses in fructan biosynthesis. After that, the 1-SST was further researched on the catalytic activity under different temperatures, pH, ionic strength and substrate concentrations. Here sucrose was used as substrate. The 1-SST enzymatic activity was revealed through production of 1-kestose which was analyzed by high performance liquid chromatography-evaporation light-scattering detection (HPLC-ELSD). Chromatographic separation of 1-kestose was achieved by the Prevail Carbohydrate ES column (250 mm×4.6 mm, 5 μm) at a flow rate of 1 mL·min-1 under 20 MP . The mobile phase consisted of a combination of B water and A acetonitrile. The gradient elution was applied as followings: 75% A : 25% B at 0 min, 65% A : 35% B at 15 min, 50% A : 50% B at 30 min, 75% A : 25% B at 35 min, 75% A : 25% B at 40 min. The column temperature was held at 40℃. ELSD impactor was off and drift tube temperature was kept at 90℃. The air was used as carrier gas for ELSD detection with a flow rate of 2.5 L·min-1.【Result】Fructose, glucose, sucrose, 1-kestose, nystose, 1F-fructofuranosylnystose were separated in 20 min. Thus the HPLC-ELSD method was proved a reliable and highly sensitive method for determining the 1-kestose. As early described, 1-kestose was produced when sucrose incubated with 1-SST and used to represent the enzymatic activity of 1-SST. Only 1-kestose was produced with 50% (w/w) sucrose solution as substrate. This phenomenon indicated that the 1-SST preserved very high substrate specificity under the above experiment conditions. Garlic 1-SST mainly existed in the fraction precipitated with 30%-40% ammonium sulfate solution while exhibited very weak enzymatic activity in the fractions precipitated with 0-30%, 40%-70% ammonium sulfate solution and no 1-SST was detected in the fraction precipitated with 70%-100% ammonium sulfate. Garlic 1-SST from the fraction precipitated with 30%-40% ammonium sulfate solution was further investigated. The optimal temperature was 35℃. The enzymatic activity was decreased dramatically when the temperature reached 40℃ which indicated this enzyme is heat labile. Therefore, high temperature should be avoided for studying the garlic 1-SST. Its optimum pH value was 5, which was similar to the 1-SST from Hordeum vulgare, Cichorium intybus L., Helianthus tuberosus Colombia and Lolium rigidum, Agave americana L. This result shows that the conformation of 1-SST activity site from different plants could be similar. The enzymatic activity of 1-SST was dependent on the sucrose concentration in the range of 100-600 mg·mL-1 which was increased with the substrate concentration below 500 mg·mL-1. However, the enzyme was saturated at the high concentration of substrate (over 500 mg·mL-1). This result fits into the Michaelis-Menten Equation. For Na+, Cl- ion, 1-SST enzymatic activity was reversed with the ion strength. Michaelis constant of 1-SST was 104 mmol·L-1 at 35℃.【Conclusion】 In this study, The effect of different temperatures, pH, ionic strength and substrate concentration on the 1-SST enzymatic activity was investigated. This mechanism will help to understand the change of fructan, species and content of saccharides during processing and storage.
