菊粉酶基因的异源表达、分离纯化及酶学性质

Heterologous expression, purification and characterization of exo-inulinase from Kluyveromyces marxianus YX01

摘要:

为进一步提高菊粉酶在生物技术领域的应用，研究了来源于马克斯克鲁维酵母Kluyveromyces marxianus YX01的菊粉酶性质。通过在毕赤酵母GS115宿主细胞中异源表达该菊粉酶基因 (inu)，获得了一种外切型菊粉酶，经聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳 (SDS-PAGE) 验证其分子量为86.0 kDa。进一步在该菊粉酶上增加6个His标签，采用聚乙二醇 (PEG) 20 000透析浓缩和Ni-NTA Agarose静态亲和吸附作用的方法，完成菊粉酶的分离纯化，纯化倍数和酶回收率分别为3.6和33.1%。比较发现粗酶液与纯酶的酶学性质相似，且菊粉酶的最适反应温度为60 ℃，最适pH值为4.62，并测得该酶的Km和Vmax值，以菊粉为底物时，Km和Vmax值分别为80.53 g/L和4.49 g/(L·min)；以蔗糖底物时，Km和Vmax值分别为183.10 g/L和20.20 g/(L·min)。金属离子Mn2+、Ca2+、Cu2+、Zn2+和Fe2+对酶活力具有不同程度的抑制作用，其中Cu2+、Zn2+和Fe2+的抑制作用最为显著。这些研究为进一步提高菊粉酶在工业化的应用奠定了基础。

Abstract:

To improve the inulinase application in biotechnology, the characteristic of inulinase from Kluyveromyces marxianus YX01 was investigated. The inu gene of K. marxianus YX01 was transformed into Pichiapastoris GS115 host cells with molecular biology techniques. Then we achieved the heterologous expression of exo-inulinase whose molecular mass was about 86.0 kDa by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS–PAGE). Furthermore, six His-tag was added to the inulinase and a two-step method was applied in the purification of inulinase, including concentration via dialysis by polyethylene glycol 20 000 and metal Ni-NTA Agarose affinity adsorption. The purification factor of purified protein was 3.6 and the recovery rate of enzyme activity was 33.1%. We characterized the purified inulinase. The optimum temperature was 60 ℃ and pH was 4.62. When inulin and sucrose were used as substrates, the Km and Vmax values were 80.53 g/L vs 4.49 g/(L·min) and 183.10 g/L vs 20.20 g/(L·min), respectively. In addition, metal ions including Mn2+, Ca2+, Cu2+, Zn2+ and Fe2+ exhibited different degrees of inhibition on the enzyme activity, and Cu2+, Zn2+ and Fe2+ exhibited the most significant inhibition. Our findings might lay a good foundation for industrial application of inulinase.
