In vivo functional expression of a screened P. aeruginosa chaperone-dependent lipase in E.coli

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: Microbial lipases particularly Pseudomonas lipases are widely used for biotechnological applications. It is a meaningful work to design experiments to obtain high-level active lipase. There is a limiting factor for functional overexpression of the Pseudomonas lipase that a chaperone is necessary for effective folding. As previously reported, several methods had been used to resolve the problem. In this work, the lipase (LipA) and its chaperone (LipB) from a screened strain named AB which belongs to Pseudomonas aeruginosa were overexpressed in E.coli with two dual expression plasmid systems to enhance the production of the active lipase LipA without in vitro refolding process. RESULTS: In this work, we screened a lipase-produced strain named AB through the screening procedure, which was identified as P. aeruginosa on the basis of 16S rDNA. Genomic DNA obtained from the strain was used to isolate the gene lipA (936 bp) and lipase specific foldase gene lipB (1023 bp). One single expression plasmid system E.coli BL21/pET28a-lipAB and two dual expression plasmid systems E.coli BL21/pETDuet-lipA-lipB and E.coli BL21/pACYCDuet-lipA-lipB were successfully constructed. The lipase activities of the three expression systems were compared to choose the optimal expression method. Under the same cultured condition, the activities of the lipases expressed by E.coli BL21/pET28a-lipAB and E.coli BL21/pETDuet-lipA-lipB were 1300U/L and 3200U/L, respectively, while the activity of the lipase expressed by E.coli BL21/pACYCDuet-lipA-lipB was up to 8500U/L. The lipase LipA had an optimal temperature of 30[degree sign]C and an optimal pH of 9 with a strong pH tolerance. The active LipA could catalyze the reaction between fatty alcohols and fatty acids to generate fatty acid alkyl esters, which meant that LipA was able to catalyze esterification reaction. The most suitable fatty acid and alcohol substrates for esterification were octylic acid and hexanol, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: The effect of different plasmid system on the active LipA expression was significantly different. pACYCDuet-lipA-lipB was more suitable for the expression of active LipA than pET28a-lipAB and pETDuet-lipA-lipB. The LipA showed obvious esterification activity and thus had potential biocatalytic applications. The expression method reported here can give reference for the expression of those enzymes that require chaperones.     

Statistical medium optimization and production of a hyperthermostable lipase from Burkholderia cepacia in a bioreactor

AIM: Statistical medium optimization for maximum production of a hyperthermostable lipase from Burkholderia cepacia and its validation in a bioreactor. METHODS AND RESULTS: Burkholderia cepacia was grown in shake flasks containing 1% glucose, 0.1% KH2PO4, 0.5% NH4Cl, 0.24% (NH4)2HPO4, 0.01% MgSO4.7H2O and 1% emulsified palm oil, at 45 degrees C and pH 7.0, agitated at 250 rev min(-1) with 6-h-old inoculum (2% v/v) for 20 h. A fourfold enhancement in lipase production (50 U ml(-1)) and an approximately three fold increase in specific activity (160 U mg(-1)) by B. cepacia was obtained in a 14 litre bioreactor within 15 h after statistical optimization following shake flask culture. The statistical model was obtained using face centred central composite design (FCCCD) with five variables: glucose, palm oil, incubation time, inoculum density and agitation. The model suggested no interactive effect of the five factors, although incubation period, inoculum and carbon concentration were the important variables. CONCLUSIONS: The maximum lipase production was 50 U ml(-1), with specific activity 160 U mg(-1) protein, in a 14 litre bioreactor after 15 h in a medium obtained after statistical optimization in shake flasks. Further, the model predicted reduction in time for lipase production with reduction in total carbon supply. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: Statistical optimization allows quick optimization of a large number of variables. It also provides a deep insight into the regulatory role of various parameters involved in enzyme production.

Immobilized Pseudomonas cepacia lipase for biodiesel fuel production from soybean oil

Enzymatic transesterification of soybean oil with methanol and ethanol was studied. Of the nine lipases that were tested in the initial screening, lipase PS from Pseudomonas cepacia resulted in the highest yield of alkyl esters. Lipase from Pseudomonas cepacia was further investigated in immobilized form within a chemically inert, hydrophobic sol-gel support. The gel-entrapped lipase was prepared by polycondensation of hydrolyzed tetramethoxysilane and iso-butyltrimethoxysilane. Using the immobilized lipase PS, the effects of water and alcohol concentration, enzyme loading, enzyme thermal stability, and temperature in the transesterification reaction were investigated. The optimal conditions for processing 10 g of soybean oil were: 35 degrees C, 1:7.5 oil/methanol molar ratio, 0.5 g water and 475 mg lipase for the reactions with methanol, and 35 degrees C, 1:15.2 oil/ethanol molar ratio, 0.3 g water, 475 mg lipase for the reactions with ethanol. Subject to the optimal conditions, methyl and ethyl esters formation of 67 and 65 mol% in 1h of reaction were obtained for the immobilized enzyme reactions. Upon the reaction with the immobilized lipase, the triglycerides reached negligible levels after the first 30 min of the reaction and the immobilized lipase was consistently more active than the free enzyme. The immobilized lipase also proved to be stable and lost little activity when was subjected to repeated uses.

Homologous overexpression of a lipase from <Emphasis Type="Italic">Burkholderia cepacia</Emphasis> using the lambda Red recombinase system

Red recombinase system of the λ phage is widely used for recombination of short linear DNA fragments and genome. Using this system, we obtained T7 RNA polymerase (RNAP) substitution mutants in Burkholderia cepacia. To test the expression abilities of the T7 mutants, four different lipase expression vectors were transformed and the lipase activity of these recombinants was evaluated. Our results suggest that 500 nt homology between the unit and the genome is sufficient to generate mutations and this strategy enables the rapid establishment of mutant strains with efficiencies of 85%. After expression and purification, the highest purified lipase activity obtained was 3,990 U/l, nearly triple that of the wild-type organism.

米根霉脂肪酶基因pro-ROL和m-ROL在毕赤酵母中的密码子优化、表达和酶学性质的比较分析

米根霉Rhizopus oryzae脂肪酶不仅在众多工业领域中具有良好的应用价值,其典型的分子内伴侣结构(Intramolecular chaperon)也是研究蛋白质翻译后加工和成熟的理想材料.以尼oryzae HU3005为材料,克隆了其脂肪酶前体基因(pro-ROL)和成熟脂肪酶基因(m-ROL),并实现了其在巴斯德毕赤酵母Pichia pastoris GS 115中的分泌表达.酶学性质比较分析表明:m-ROL对中等链长底物(Cl0和C12)具有更高的水解活性,而pro-ROL更倾向于短链底物(C4),且在pH 8.0时活性最高.再者,pro-ROL具有比m-ROL更好的温度稳定性.推测m-ROL和pro-ROL脂肪酶酶学性质的差异可能是由前序列对脂肪酶的折叠和修饰的影响而导致.为提高m-ROL的表达水平,采用重叠延伸PCR技术将基因中8个低频密码子替换为高频密码子.在摇瓶条件下,发酵72 h后,经密码子优化后的m-ROL酶活和蛋白质含量分别达到132.7 U/mL和50.4 U/mL,而初始m-ROL和pro-ROL酶活和蛋白质含量分别仅为28.7 U/mL和14.4 mg/L、29.6 U/mL和14.1 mg/L.     

Improvement of lipase activity by synergistic immobilization on polyurethane and its application for large-scale synthesizing vitamin A palmitate

Abstract

We have developed an improved and effective method to immobilize lipase on hydrophobic polyurethane foam (PUF) with different modifications. PUF was treated with hydrochloric acid to increase the active sites and then the active carboxyl groups and amino groups were exposed. Enzyme activity of lipase immobilized on PUF-HCL (8000?U/g) was 50% higher than that of lipase immobilized on PUF (5300?U/g). There is an increase in the activity of the immobilized lipase on AA/PEI-modified support (115,000?U/g), a 2.17-fold increase compared to lipase immobilized on the native support was observed. The activity of immobilized lipases was dependent on the PEI molecular weight, with best results from enzyme immobilized on PUF-HCL-AA/PEI (MW 70,000?Da, 12,800?U/g)), which was 2.41 times higher compared to that of the same enzyme immobilized on PUF. These results suggest that the activity of immobilized lipase is influenced by the support surface properties, and a moderate support surface micro-environment is crucial for improving enzyme activity. Finally, the immobilized lipase was used for the production of vitamin A palmitate. The immobilized lipase can be reused for up to 18 times with a conversion rate above 90% for 12?h in a 3?L bioreactor.

• Research highlights

• An efficient immobilization protocol on polyurethane foam was developed

• Polyethyleneimine and acetic acid were used to regulate the micro-environment concurrently

• The activity of lipase immobilized on PUF-HCL-AA/PEI was improved by 2.41 times

• Immobilized lipase exhibited excellent operational stability for vitamin A palmitate synthesis

     

Novel strategy for protein exploration: high-throughput screening assisted with fuzzy neural network

To engineer proteins with desirable characteristics from a naturally occurring protein, high-throughput screening (HTS) combined with directed evolutional approach is the essential technology. However, most HTS techniques are simple positive screenings. The information obtained from the positive candidates is used only as results but rarely as clues for understanding the structural rules, which may explain the protein activity. In here, we have attempted to establish a novel strategy for exploring functional proteins associated with computational analysis. As a model case, we explored lipases with inverted enantioselectivity for a substrate p-nitrophenyl 3-phenylbutyrate from the wild-type lipase of Burkhorderia cepacia KWI-56, which is originally selective for (S)-configuration of the substrate. Data from our previous work on (R)-enantioselective lipase screening were applied to fuzzy neural network (FNN), bioinformatic algorithm, to extract guidelines for screening and engineering processes to be followed. FNN has an advantageous feature of extracting hidden rules that lie between sequences of variants and their enzyme activity to gain high prediction accuracy. Without any prior knowledge, FNN predicted a rule indicating that "size at position L167," among four positions (L17, F119, L167, and L266) in the substrate binding core region, is the most influential factor for obtaining lipase with inverted (R)-enantioselectivity. Based on the guidelines obtained, newly engineered novel variants, which were not found in the actual screening, were experimentally proven to gain high (R)-enantioselectivity by engineering the size at position L167. We also designed and assayed two novel variants, namely FIGV (L17F, F119I, L167G, and L266V) and FFGI (L17F, L167G, and L266I), which were compatible with the guideline obtained from FNN analysis, and confirmed that these designed lipases could acquire high inverted enantioselectivity. The results have shown that with the aid of bioinformatic analysis, high-throughput screening can expand its potential for exploring vast combinatorial sequence spaces of proteins.

A new recombinant protein expression system for high-throughput screening in the yeast Yarrowia lipolytica

Development of a high-throughput eukaryotic screening procedure is important to increase success in obtaining improved enzymes through directed enzyme evolution. This procedure was developed for the yeast Yarrowia lipolytica which becomes the second eukaryotic host for this purpose. The extracellular lipase Lip2 was used as expressed enzyme but this system will be easily adjusted for other enzymes. We adapted and optimized the protocol for protein expression by Y. lipolytica in 96-well microplates. Yeast transformation efficiency and expression cassette insertion were increased by constructing a strain containing a zeta docking platform for targeted integration into the genome. The coefficient of variance of the full process was reduced from 36.3% to 18.9%. The main part of the variability (11.7%) arises from the specific lipase enzyme assay whereas the coefficient of variance concerning transformation, growth and expression steps represents only 7.2%. The rate of clone with no activity was reduced from 5.8% to 0.2%. Both transformation efficiency and variability are then compatible with high-throughput screening in the yeast Y. lipolytica.
