真核生物来源漆酶的异源表达研究进展

漆酶属于多铜氧化酶家族中的一种,广泛存在于昆虫、植物、真菌和细菌中。由于其作用的底物范围较广,因此在纺织、制浆、食品以及木质素的降解等方面有广阔的应用前景。但是自然界中的漆酶存在表达量和酶活低、高温易失活等问题,限制了它的应用。对漆酶进行大量高效的异源表达,是解决这一问题的有效途径。近年来,越来越多不同来源的漆酶基因被克隆,并在不同宿主中异源表达。但这些大多局限于实验室研究,还未达到工业化生产的水平。笔者对真核生物来源漆酶的异源表达研究进展进行综述,重点介绍了真核生物来源的漆酶在不同表达系统中的异源表达情况以及在酵母细胞中表达漆酶时提高表达量和酶活性能的方法,以期为研究者们提供参考。

黏细菌漆酶序列筛选及其重组酶酶学性质

漆酶是一种应用广泛的绿色环保的多酚氧化酶。漆酶过去被认为广泛存在于植物、昆虫和真菌中,而近年来,越来越多的细菌中也发现了漆酶的存在。黏细菌是一类重要的资源菌,但与一般细菌相比,较难分离和纯化。文中利用生物信息学的方法,综合应用Blast和隐马尔可夫模型方法对黏细菌蛋白质组数据库进行搜索,并根据多铜氧化酶的保守铜离子结合位点进行进一步筛选,获得30个候选黏细菌漆酶序列。挑选其中9个,在大肠杆菌中进行重组表达。利用2,6-甲氧基苯酚(DMP)等常用漆酶底物检测重组酶的催化氧化活性,其中7个重组蛋白具有漆酶催化活性。选择1个对2,6-甲氧基苯酚(DMP)具有较高氧化活性的重组酶(命名为rSC-2),通过Ni-NTA亲和层析柱纯化rSC-2,测试其酶学性质。纯化的rSC-2蛋白分子量约57 kDa,在最适反应条件下,rSC-2催化DMP反应的比酶活为0.27 U/mg。催化DMP反应的最适温度为60℃,最适pH为7.0。rSC-2在pH 7.0-8.0有较高酶活,在60℃孵育1 h保留50%以上剩余酶活。低浓度的Ca~(2+)对酶活有一定的促进作用,而较高浓度的Fe~(3+)、Co~(2+)、Ba~(2+)对酶活的抑制作用较明显。这是首次对黏细菌漆酶序列进行系统性的生物信息学分析,并实现纤维堆囊菌Sorangium cellulosum序列来源的漆酶活性蛋白在大肠杆菌细胞中重组表达。

Determination of laccase activity in mixed solvents: comparison between two chromogens in a spectrophotometric assay

Spectrophotometric determination of laccase activity with ABTS acting as chromogen yields exceedingly low values whenever conducted in a water-organic mixed solvent. Nevertheless, there is firm evidence that laccase is able to oxidize substrates such as phenols and amines quantitatively in these mixed solvents. We show that the apparently small rate of ABTS oxidation by laccase in a mixed solvent, such as buffered water-dioxane 1:1, is not amenable to the denaturation of laccase but rather to the decreased stability of ABTS(.+). We propose HAA as a more reliable chromogen for the determination of laccase activity in mixed solvents.     

Screening mutant libraries of fungal laccases in the presence of organic solvents

Reliable screening methods are being demanded by biocatalysts' engineers, especially when some features such as activity or stability are targets to improve under non-natural conditions (i.e., in the presence of organic solvents). The current work describes a protocol for the design of a fungal laccase-expressed in Saccharomyces cerevisiae-highly active in organic cosolvents. A high-throughput screening assay based on ABTS (2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulfonic acid)) oxidation was validated. The stability of the ABTS radical cation was not significantly altered in the presence of acetonitrile, ethanol, or DMSO. With a coefficient of variance below 10% and a sensitivity limit of 15 pg laccase/microL, the assay was reproducible and sensitive. The expression system of Myceliophthora thermophila laccase variant T2 in S. cerevisiae was highly dependent on the presence of Cu2+. Copper concentration was limited up to 10 microM CuSO4 where expression levels (approximately 14-18 mg/L) were acceptable without compromising the reliability of the assay. A mutant library was created by error-prone PCR with 1.1 to 3.5 mutations per kb. After only 1 generation of directed evolution, mutant 6C9 displayed about 3.5-fold higher activities than parent type in the presence of 20% acetonitrile or 30% ethanol. The method provided here should be generally useful to improve the activity of other redox enzymes in mixtures of water/cosolvents.     

Comparative study of substrates of fungal laccase

Coriolus versicolor, Pycnoporus cinnabarinus and Pycnoporus coccineus were grown under conditions to produce extracellular laccase. Prior to estimating enzyme activity, culture fluids were pretreated with catalase to destroy hydrogen peroxide and hence minimize peroxidase activity which might interfere with laccase determinations. Similar trends in enzyme assay were shown when colour reagents contained either syringaldazine or 3-dimethylaminobenzoic acid plus 3-methyl-2-benzothiazolone hydrasone as laccase substrates. Use of 2,2'-azino-bis-(3-ethylbenzothiazoline)-6-sulphonate (ABTS) as laccase substrate showed a different trend which was attributed to peroxidatic activity of the catalase using hydrogen peroxide generated by fungal oxidases. Peroxidatic activity was not observed with the other substrates.     

Use of laccase as a novel, versatile reporter system in filamentous fungi

Laccases are copper-containing enzymes which oxidize phenolic substrates and transfer the electrons to oxygen. Many filamentous fungi contain several laccase-encoding genes, but their biological roles are mostly not well understood. The main interest in laccases in biotechnology is their potential to be used to detoxify phenolic substances. We report here on a novel application of laccases as a reporter system in fungi. We purified a laccase enzyme from the ligno-cellulolytic ascomycete Stachybotrys chartarum. It oxidized the artificial substrate 2,2'-azino-di-(3-ethylbenzthiazolinsulfonate) (ABTS). The corresponding gene was isolated and expressed in Aspergillus nidulans, Aspergillus niger, and Trichoderma reesei. Heterologously expressed laccase activity was monitored in colorimetric enzyme assays and on agar plates with ABTS as a substrate. The use of laccase as a reporter was shown in a genetic screen for the isolation of improved T. reesei cellulase production strains. In addition to the laccase from S. charatarum, we tested the application of three laccases from A. nidulans (LccB, LccC, and LccD) as reporters. Whereas LccC oxidized ABTS (Km = 0.3 mM), LccD did not react with ABTS but with DMA/ADBP (3,5-dimethylaniline/4-amino-2,6-dibromophenol). LccB reacted with DMA/ADBP and showed weak activity with ABTS. The different catalytic properties of LccC and LccD allow simultaneous use of these two laccases as reporters in one fungal strain.     

黄连抗氧化活性研究

Biobleaching of wheat straw-rich soda pulp with alkalophilic laccase from gamma-proteobacterium JB: optimization of process parameters using response surface methodology

An alkalophilic laccase from gamma-proteobacterium JB was applied to wheat straw-rich soda pulp to check its bleaching potential by using response surface methodology based on central composite design. The design was employed by selecting laccase units, ABTS (2,2'-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid)) concentration and pH as model factors. The results of second order factorial design experiments showed that all three independent variables had significant effect on brightness and kappa number of laccase-treated pulp. Optimum conditions for biobleaching of pulp with laccase preparation (specific activity, 65 nkat mg(-1) protein) were 20 nkat g(-1) of pulp, 2mM ABTS and pH 8.0 which enhanced brightness by 5.89% and reduced kappa number by 21.1% within 4h of incubation at 55 degrees C, without further alkaline extraction of pulp. Tear index (8%) and burst index (18%) also improved for laccase-treated pulp as compared to control raw pulp. Treatment of chemically (CEH1H2) bleached pulp with laccase showed significant effect on release of chromophores, hydrophobic and reducing compounds. Laccase-prebleaching of raw pulp reduced the use of hypochlorite by 10% to achieve brightness of resultant hand sheets similar to the fully chemically bleached pulp.     

漆酶高产菌株的诱变选育及其产酶条件

Laccase activity tests and laccase inhibitors

Sulfhydryl organic compounds described as laccase inhibitors: dithiothreitol, thioglycolic acid, cysteine, diethyldithiocarbamic acid, and sodium azide were tested for their activity toward laccase of Trametes versicolor in different test systems utilising 2, 2'-azino-bis-(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) (ABTS) and 2, 6-dimethoxyphenol as enzyme substrates. Only sodium azide acted as a true laccase inhibitor and showed no significant interference with the enzyme tests. All other substances did not significantly inhibit the laccase activity and the previously reported inhibitory effects result from the reductions of the reaction products such as ABTS radical cation and diquinone or subsequent non-enzymatic interactions during substrate oxidation. The latter apparently forms a complex with unreacted ABTS displaying varied spectral characteristics and resulting in an underestimation of enzyme activity.

Extracellular laccase activity and transcript levels of putative laccase genes during removal of the xenoestrogen technical nonylphenol by the aquatic hyphomycete Clavariopsis aquatica

We investigated the influence of potential laccase inducers with environmental relevance on extracellular laccase activity and removal of the xenoestrogen technical nonylphenol (tNP) by the aquatic hyphomycete Clavariopsis aquatica. Concomitantly, we identified two putative laccase gene fragments (Icc1 and Icc2) and have followed their expression during removal of tNP under different conditions. Our results indicate a significant effect of copper on extracellular laccase activity in supernatants of fungal cultures. Laccase activity was highest in the presence of copper when added together with vanillic acid, followed by copper when used alone. Only slight laccase activities were recorded in the presence of only vanillic acid, whereas in the absence of either compound laccase activities were negligible. Laccase activity was well correlated with the removal efficiency of tNP, indicating the involvement of laccase in tNP bioconversion. Overall, Icc2 was less expressed than Icc1. The expression of Icc1 and Icc2 correlated only partially with the measured laccase activity, suggesting the existence of cell-associated laccase fractions not detectable in fungal culture supernatants and/or the existence of additional laccase genes.
