A fragment of the starch-binding domain (SBDF) of Aspergillus niger glucoamylase was prepared using recombinant DNA techniques, and its thermal unfolding was investigated by high-sensitivity differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Thermal unfolding of SBDF was found to be reversible at pH 7 as expected from a DSC study of the whole enzyme molecule [Tanaka A. et al., J. Biochem., 117, 1024-1028 (1995)] but not reversible at acidic region. Numerical analysis of the DSC curves showed that the denaturation was two-state, and some of the SBDF molecules were oligomeric (average degree of oligomerization was 1.2) at pH 7. It was suggested that the denaturation temperature of SBDF was lower than that of the starch-binding domain in the whole enzyme molecule by about 4.5 degrees (decrease in the Gibbs energy change was 5.3 kJ mol-1) indicating a possibility that the starch-binding domain is stabilized by glycosylation of the domain itself, or by the highly glycosylated linker region.
