Abstract
Polyethylene glycol (PEG) dehydrogenase in crude extracts of a PEG 20,000-utilizing mixed culture was purified 24 times by precipitation with ammonium sulfate, solubilization with laurylbetaine, and chromatography with diethylamino-ethyl-cellulose, hydroxylapatite, and Sephadex G-200. The purified enzyme was confirmed to be homogeneous by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The molecular weight of the enzyme, which appeared to consist of four identical subunits, was 2.4 X 10(5). The enzyme was stable below 35 degrees C and in the pH range of 7.5 to 9.0. The optimum pH and temperature of the activity were around 8.0 and 60 degrees C, respectively. The enzyme did not require any metal ions for activity and oxidized various kinds of PEGs, among which PEG 6,000 was the most active substrate. The apparent Km values for tetraethylene glycol and PEG 6,000 were about 10.0 and 3.0 mM, respectively.
