摘要：

The potato pathogen Gibberella pulicaris (Fusarium sambucinum) is able to metabolize the potato saponin alpha-chaconine by first removing the 1,2-bound L-rhamnose. The catalyzing enzyme, alpha-chaconinase, is inducible by the substrate and alpha-solanine and alpha-tomatine. The protein with a molecular mass of about 95 kDa was purified by fractionated ammonium sulfate precipitation followed by concanavalin A-Sepharose chromatography and chromatofocusing. The enzyme is active over a wide pH and temperature range and is highly substrate specific for alpha-chaconine with a K-m value of 0.97 mM and V-max of 37.13 nkat. alpha-Solanine and alpha-tomatine are not converted by the enzyme.
