栓菌420(Trametes sp.420)漆酶基因lacD以两种方式在巴斯德毕赤酵母(Pichiapastoris)进行异源表达,产生两种重组漆酶:rLacDx(具有天然N-末端)和rLacDe(N-末端带有8个额外的氨基酸残基)。摇瓶发酵18d,rLacDx和rLacDe的产量分别为1.21×10^5u/L、7、38×10^4u/L[以2,2'-连氮-3-乙苯-二噻唑-6磺酸(ABTS)为底物]。在高密度发酵条件下,rLacDx的产量增加到2.39×10^5u/L,同时其生产周期降至7.5d。两种重组酶对愈创木酚底物的氧化特性相似,且在50℃和pH3~10的范围内均稳定。然而,rLacDx对底物ABTS的比活力(1761u/mg)高于rLacDe(1122u/mg),其表观Km值(427μmol/L)低于rLacDe(604μmol/L)。
A laccase gene (lacD) from the basidiomycete Trametes sp. 420 was heterologously expressed in Pichia pastoris in two ways, resulting in two recombinant enzymes of rLacDx with native N-terminus and rLacDe with eight additional amino acid residues at N-terminus. The yields of rLacDx and rLacDe in shaken-flask cultures after an 18-day growth were 1.21 × 10^5u/L and 7.38 × 10^4 u/L, respectively, as determined with 2,2'-azinobis(3-ethylbenzothia-zoline- 6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) as substrate. The yield of rLacDx was further increased to 2.39 × 10^5u/L under high-density fermentation while the production process was decreased to 7.5 days. In addition, rLacDx and rLacDe exhibited similar enzymatic characters in oxidizing substrate guaiacol, and were stable at 50℃ and at a pH range from 3 to 10. However, the specific activity of rLacDx (1,761u/mg) for ABTS was higher than that of rLaeDe (1,122u/mg), and the apparent Km value of rLaeDx (427 μM) was less than that of rLaeDe (604 μM).
