疏棉状嗜热丝孢菌脂肪酶基因的克隆及其在毕赤酵母中的高效表达

疏棉状嗜热丝孢菌Thermomyces lanuginosus可产生具有重要工业生产价值的脂肪酶。根据已报道的相应序列设计特异引物,综合运用PCR、RT-PCR技术克隆到脂肪酶基因的全长DNA和cDNA序列。其中DNA序列长1071bp,包含876bp的开放阅读框以及3段内含子;cDNA序列长885bp。结构基因编码蛋白包含292个氨基酸,前17个氨基酸构成信号肽。序列提交GenBank,登录号分别为EU022703和EU370914。将脂肪酶基因cDNA序列的开放阅读框克隆到酵母分泌型表达载体pPIC9K中,转化毕赤酵母GS115得到重组子且实现了分泌表达。将重组子诱导产酶,在培养温度30℃、甲醇添加量1%的情况下,小规模发酵量达0.93mg/mL,其分泌表达的最高酶活为7.2U/mL。重组酶最适反应温度和pH分别是60℃和8.0。表达蛋白在60℃保温1h后仍有完全酶活,具有较高的热稳定性。

Cloning of a gene encoding lipase from Thermomyces lanuginosus and effective expression of the gene in Pichia pastoris

Thermomyces lanuginosus produces an extracellular lipase that is important for industrial applications. Based on published DNA sequence, we cloned the full length genomic DNA and cDNA of the lipase using PCR and RT-PCR methods. DNA sequencing revealed that the genomic DNA of the T. lanuginosus lipase gene has an open reading frame of 876bp encoding a protein lipase precursor of 292 amino acid residues, and three introns. And the cDNA of lipase gene we cloned is identical to the registered lipase gene of The...
