A chitinase was purified from the culture filtrate of Streptomyces thermoviolaceus OPC-520. The enzyme showed a high optimum temperature (70 to 80 degrees C), a high optimum pH level (8.0 to 10.0), and heat stability. This enzyme showed high sequence homology with chitinases from Serratia marcescens QMB1466 and Bacillus circulans WL-12.

D002688 Chitinases Glycoside hydrolases that break down glycosidic bonds in CHITIN. They are important for insect and worm morphogenesis and plant defense against pathogens. Human chitinases may play a role in the etiology of allergies and asthma. Chitinase,Endochitinase
D000595 Amino Acid Sequence The order of amino acids as they occur in a polypeptide chain. This is referred to as the primary structure of proteins. It is of fundamental importance in determining PROTEIN CONFORMATION.

D012706 Serratia marcescens A species of gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria found in soil, water, food, and clinical specimens. It is a prominent opportunistic pathogen for hospitalized patients.
D013302 Streptomyces A genus of bacteria that form a nonfragmented aerial mycelium. Many species have been identified with some being pathogenic. This genus is responsible for producing a majority of the ANTI-BACTERIAL AGENTS of practical value.
