将来自腾冲菌的脂肪酶(LipA)基因(lipA)克隆到大肠杆菌表达载体pET28a(含T7启动子)和pTrc99A (含Trc启动子)中,转入大肠杆菌表达,发现Trc启动子更适合LipA的表达。通过热处理和DEAE-Sepharose阴离子柱纯化过程,重组LipA得到纯化,比酶活达到1.9U/mg,重组LipA分子量为42kDa。重组LipA在80℃、pH 4.5时酶活最高,经85℃保温2h,酶活保持60%以上;在pH值4.0~6.0之间,LipA具有较好的稳定性;Cu^2+和Zn^2+对酶活力分别有38.9%和69.2%的抑制作用,Mn^2+、Co^2+和Tween-20对该酶有较大的激活作用;以p-nitrophenyl-laurate (p-NP-C12)为底物时,该酶的Km值为1.5mmol/L,kcat为34.5s-1。
The lipase from Thermoanaerobacter tengcongensis (LipA) is a kind of ester-bond hydrolysis enzyme catalyst of triacylglycerol. The LipA genes (lipA) were cloned into pET28a (T7 promoter) and pTrc99A (Trc promoter),yielding pET28a-lipA and pTrc99A-lipA,and transformed into the Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3) and Top10 , respectively. The strain harboring pTrc99A-lipA produced more recombinant LipA than the strain harboring pET28a-lipA. The recombinant LipA was purified to homogeneity from E. coli by a simple two-step procedure involving heat treatment and DEAE-Sephacel. The purified recombinant LipA reached 1.9U/mg. The recombinant LipA had a molecular mass of 42kDa on SDS-PAGE. The maximum activity was at pH 4.5 and 80℃. The purified enzyme was stable from pH 4.0—6.0,and retained approx. 60%of its activity after 2h at 85℃. The LipA activity were decreased 38.9%and 69.2%by Cu^2+and Zn^2+(5mmol/L),respectively. Mn^2+,Co^2+and Tween-20 had positive effect on the activity of LipA. The recombinant LipA had a Km of 1.5 mmol/L and kcat of 34.5s-1 for p-nitrophenyl-laurate.
