6-Aminohexanoic-acid-oligomer hydrolase of Flavobacterium sp. KI72 was purified to homogeneity by column chromatography 3 times, and by preparative polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis twice. The purified enzyme had the following characteristics. The MW was estimated to be 84,000 by Sephadex G-200 molecular sieve chromatography. The enzyme consisted of 2 homologous subunits of 42,000, judged from sodium dodecyl sulfate/polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The optimum pH for activity was between 8 and 9, the optimum temperature was 40.degree. C for a 1 h reaction. The Km constants and turnover numbers for the 6-aminohexanoic acid dimer and trimer were 5.9 mM and 2.4 s-1, and 6.2 mM and 2.0 s-1, respectively. The enzyme was inhibited by 0.37 mM DFP [diisopropylfluoro-phosphate] and by 0.013 mM p-chloromercuribenzoate. The enzyme was active on 6-aminohexanoic acid oligomers from dimer to hexamer and icosamer but not on hectamer, and the activity decreased with the increase of the polymerization number of the oligomer. The oligomers were hydrolyzed so as to remove the 6-aminohexanoic acid residue successively from the amino terminus. The enzyme could not hydrolyze other linear amides, cyclic amides, dipeptides, tripeptides or casein. 6-Aminohexanoic-acid-oligomer hydrolase was classified as a new member of the linear amidases (EC 3.5.1.-).
