A novel multifunctional isoamylase, MIsA from Myxococcus sp. strain V11, was expressed in Escherichia coli BL21(DE3). Sequence alignment revealed that MIsA is a typical isoamylase that belongs to glycoside hydrolase family 13 (GH 13). MIsA can hydrolyze the α-1,6-branches of amylopectin and pullulan, as well as the α-1,4-glucosidic bond in amylose. Additionally, MIsA demonstrates 4-α-D-glucan transferase activity, enabling the transfer of α-1,4-glucan oligosaccharides between molecules, particularly with linear maltooligosaccharides. The Km, Kcat, and Vmax values of the MIsA for amylopectin were 1.22 mM, 40.42 µmol·min–1·mg–1, and 4046.31 mM·min–1. The yields of amylopectin and amylose hydrolyzed into oligosaccharides were 10.16% and 11.70%, respectively. The hydrolysis efficiencies were 55%, 35%, and 30% for amylopectin, soluble starch, and amylose, respectively. In the composite enzyme hydrolysis of amylose, the yield of maltotetraose increased by 1.81-fold and 2.73-fold compared with that of MIsA and MTHase (MCK8499120) alone, respectively.
