An alpha-galactosidase that inactivates the group specificity of B erythrocytes (group III) of human blood and does not affect A erythrocytes (group II) was isolated from the marine bacterium Pseudoalteromonas sp. KMM 701. The enzyme preparation did not contain lectin, hemolytic, sialidase, endoglycanase, or glycosidase activities. The enzyme is stable at 20 degreesC for 24 h, has pH optimum for catalysis within the range of 6.7-7.7, and is stable to high concentrations of NaCl. It is 4-fold more efficient than the alpha-galactosidase from green coffee beans. At pH 7.0 the Km for p-nitrophenyl-alpha-D-galactopyranoside is 0.29 mM. The molecular weight of the enzyme determined by gel-filtration is 195 +/- 5 kD. The alpha-galactosidase is denatured by urea and guanidine hydrochloride. Its activity does not depend on the presence of metal ions. It contains a sulfhydryl group essential for its catalytic activity.

D006088 Gram-Negative Aerobic Bacteria A large group of aerobic bacteria which show up as pink (negative) when treated by the gram-staining method. This is because the cell walls of gram-negative bacteria are low in peptidoglycan and thus have low affinity for violet stain and high affinity for the pink dye safranine.

D000017 ABO Blood-Group System The major human blood type system which depends on the presence or absence of two antigens A and B. Type O occurs when neither A nor B is present and AB when both are present. A and B are genetic factors that determine the presence of enzymes for the synthesis of certain glycoproteins mainly in the red cell membrane.
