Abstract

Two inducible polygalacturonases (PG-1 and PG-2) from culture filtrates of were purified to homogeneity by CM-cellulose chromatography and isoelectric focusing in a narrow pH range (pH 6 to 8). They were both hydrolytic enzymes classifiable as endopolygalacturonases [poly(1,4---galacturonide) glycanohydrolase; EC 3.2.1.15]. PG-1 and PG-2, focusing at pH 6·41 and 6·57 respectively, each consisted of a single polypeptide chain having an apparent molecular weight of 32000 as determined by gel filtration on Sephadex G-100; they were both glycoproteins and had carbohydrate contents of 0·033 and 0·062 mg sugar (mg protein) respectively. When the isoenzymes were incubated with different plant tissues, they were not absorbed by any of them.
