运用定向进化-易错PCR的方法,提高了华根霉Rhizopus chinensis CCTCC M201021脂肪酶的活力。经过两轮易错PCR和pNPP顶层琼脂法筛选,从第一轮和第二轮突变库中分别筛选获得最佳突变株1-11和2-28,脂肪酶酶活与野生菌株相比分别提高2倍和4倍。基因比对结果表明,突变脂肪酶2-28有4个氨基酸发生了突变:A129S、K161R、A230T、K322R。蛋白质分子空间结构模拟显示,突变A129S、K161R、A230T位于脂肪酶分子表面。突变A230T增强了α-螺旋盖结构的稳定性。突变K322R处在loop上,靠近脂肪酶底物结合区域,与邻近的Asp(带负电)形成盐桥。静电引力将该loop向底物进入酶活性中心的通道口反方向牵引,使底物分子更易进入酶活性中心。酶学性质研究表明,突变株2-28脂肪酶的Km值比出发菌株下降了10%,Kcat值提高为原来的2.75倍。
Directed evolution strategy (error-prone PCR) was conducted to improve the activity of lipase from Rhizopus chinensis CCTCC M201021.Through two rounds of ep-PCR and pNPP top agar screening,two optimum mutant strains 1-11 and 2-28 were obtained with 2 and 4 fold of enzyme activity higher than that of parent strain,respectively.DNA sequencing of mutant lipase 2-28 revealed four amino acid substitutions:A129S,K161R,A230T,K322R.According to the simulated protein structure of Rhizopus chinensis lipase,A129S,K161...
