General description
We are committed to bringing you Greener Alternative Products, which adhere to one or more of The 12 Principles of Greener Chemistry. This product has been used as enzyme for alternative energy. For more information see the Enzymes for Alternative Energy Research.
Application
Pectolyase P5936 (Pel1) is a natural mixed pectolyase produced by the fungus Aspergillus japonicus used to digest components (endopolygalacturonate and pectin) of plant cell walls. Treatment of cell walls with pectolyase can be used to destablilize the cell walls for organelle isolation or to modify the elasticity of the cell walls.
Pectolyase from Aspergillus japonicas has been used to digest the siliques and also in immunofluorescence experiments.
Used in plant protoplast preparation to digest cell wall prior to organelle isolation.
Other Notes
One unit will liberate 1.0 μmole of galacturonic acid from polygalacturonic acid per min at pH 5.5 at 25 °C.
Reported to contain two types of pectinase, endopolygalacturonase (EC3.2.1.15), endopectin lyase (EC4.2.2.10) and a maceration stimulating factor.

Mature plant cell walls lose their ability to expand and become unresponsive to expansin. This phenomenon is believed to be due to cross-linking of hemicellulose, pectin, or phenolic groups in the wall. By screening various hydrolytic enzymes, we found that

Antisense-mediated down-regulation of the fruit-specific polygalacturonase (PG) gene FaPG1 in strawberries (Fragaria×ananassa Duch.) has been previously demonstrated to reduce fruit softening and to extend post-harvest shelf life, despite the low PG activity detected in this fruit. The improved fruit traits
