Abstract:
Chondroitin 6-sulfate depolymerizing activity was examined in the culture supernatant of Streptococcus intermedius ATCC 27335. 2-Acetamido-2-deoxy-3-O-(beta-D-gluco-4-enepyranosyluronic acid)-6-O-sulfo-D-galactose was split from the substrate. The enzyme(s) was not active upon chondroitin 4-sulfate or dermatan sulfate, which indicated that the enzyme responsible for the depolymerization is chondroitinase C.
