Chitosanase H was purified from the culture filtrate of Aspergillus fumigants ATCC13073. The purified enzyme had a molecular mass of 23.5 kDa. The N-terminal amino acid sequence of chitosanase II was identical to those of other Aspergillus chitosanases belonging to glycoside hydrolase family 75. The optimum pH and temperature were pH 6.0 and 40 degrees C. Chitosanase II hydrolyzed 70% deacetylated chitosan faster than fully deacetylated chitosan. Analysis of the degradation products generated from partially N-acetylated chitosan showed that chitosanase II split GlcN-GlcN and GlcNAc-GlcN bonds but not GlcNAc-GlcNAc or GlcN-GlcNAc, suggesting that it is a subclass I chitosanase. It degraded (GlcN)(6) to produce (GlcN)(3) as main product and small amounts of (GlcN)(2) and (GlcN)(4). Reaction rate analyses of mono-N-acetylated chitohexaose suggested that the (+3) site of chitosanase H recognizes the GlcNAc residue rather than the GlcN residue of its substrate.
