RESUMO
A pectin lyase (PNL; EC 4.2.2.10) was isolated from culture filtrates of Pseudomonas fluorescens W51 and purified to apparent homogeneity. The enzyme catalyzed a random eliminative cleavage of pectin but not sodium polypectate, and it macerated plant tissue. The Mr of the PNL on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels was 32,000 +/- 1,000, and the isoelectric point was 9.4 as determined by isoelectric focusing. The enzyme was constitutively produced, since the highest yields were obtained when glycerol was used as a sole carbon source, and addition of pectin to the medium did not increase its production. Antibodies against purified PNL reacted in Western blots (immunoblots) with a pectate lyase (PLb) produced by Erwinia chrysanthemi EC16. The PNL appeared to be the only factor secreted into the culture medium by P. fluorescens W51 which macerated plant tissue and is probably involved in the soft rot disease caused by the bacterium.
