Production and solid-phase refolding of human glucagon-like peptide-1 using recombinant Escherichia coli 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
A cDNA encoding cinnamyl alcohol dehydrogenase (CAD), catalyzing conversion of cinnamyl aldehydes to corresponding cinnamyl alcohols, was cloned from secondary xylem of Leucaena leucocephala. The cloned cDNA was expressed in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3) pLysS cells. Temperature and Zn(2+) ion played crucial role in expression and activity of enzyme, such that, at 18°C and at 2 mM Zn(2+) the CAD was maximally expressed as active enzyme in soluble fraction. The expressed protein was purified 14.78-folds to homogeneity on Ni-NTA agarose column with specific activity of 346 nkat/mg protein. The purified enzyme exhibited lowest Km with cinnamyl alcohol (12.2 μM) followed by coniferyl (18.1 μM) and sinapyl alcohol (23.8 μM). Enzyme exhibited high substrate inhibition with cinnamyl (beyond 20 μM) and coniferyl (beyond 100 μM) alcohols. The in silico analysis of CAD protein exhibited four characteristic consensus sequences, GHEXXGXXXXXGXXV; C(100), C(103), C(106), C(114); GXGXXG and C(47), S(49), H(69), L(95), C(163), I(300) involved in catalytic Zn(2+) binding, structural Zn(2+) binding, NADP(+) binding and substrate binding, respectively. Tertiary structure, generated using Modeller 9v5, exhibited a trilobed structure with bulged out structural Zn(2+) binding domain. The catalytic Zn(2+) binding, substrate binding and NADP(+) binding domains formed a pocket protected by two major lobes. The enzyme catalysis, sequence homology and 3-D model, all supported that the cloned CAD belongs to alcohol dehydrogenase family of plants. 相似文献

Thermotoga hypogea is an extremely thermophilic anaerobic bacterium capable of growing at 90°C. It uses carbohydrates and peptides as carbon
and energy sources to produce acetate, CO2, H2, l-alanine and ethanol as end products. Alcohol dehydrogenase activity was found to be present in the soluble fraction of T. hypogea. The alcohol dehydrogenase was purified to homogeneity, which appeared to be a homodimer with a subunit molecular mass of
40 ± 1 kDa revealed by SDS-PAGE analyses. A fully active enzyme contained iron of 1.02 ± 0.06 g-atoms/subunit. It was oxygen
sensitive; however, loss of enzyme activity by exposure to oxygen could be recovered by incubation with dithiothreitol and
Fe2+. The enzyme was thermostable with a half-life of about 10 h at 70°C, and its catalytic activity increased along with the
rise of temperature up to 95°C. Optimal pH values for production and oxidation of alcohol were 8.0 and 11.0, respectively.
The enzyme had a broad specificity to use primary alcohols and aldehydes as substrates. Apparent K
m values for ethanol and 1-butanol were much higher than that of acetaldehyde and butyraldehyde. It was concluded that the
physiological role of this enzyme is likely to catalyze the reduction of aldehydes to alcohols. 相似文献

A novel whole-cell biocatalyst with high allylic alcohol-oxidizing activities was screened and identified as Yokenella sp. WZY002, which chemoselectively reduced the C=O bond of allylic aldehydes/ketones to the corresponding α,β-unsaturated alcohols at 30°C and pH 8.0. The strain also had the capacity of stereoselectively reducing aromatic ketones to (S)-enantioselective alcohols. The enzyme responsible for the predominant allylic/benzyl alcohol dehydrogenase activity was purified to homogeneity and designated YsADH (alcohol dehydrogenase from Yokenella sp.), which had a calculated subunit molecular mass of 36,411 Da. The gene encoding YsADH was subsequently expressed in Escherichia coli, and the purified recombinant YsADH protein was characterized. The enzyme strictly required NADP(H) as a coenzyme and was putatively zinc dependent. The optimal pH and temperature for crotonaldehyde reduction were pH 6.5 and 65°C, whereas those for crotyl alcohol oxidation were pH 8.0 and 55°C. The enzyme showed moderate thermostability, with a half-life of 6.2 h at 55°C. It was robust in the presence of organic solvents and retained 87.5% of the initial activity after 24 h of incubation with 20% (vol/vol) dimethyl sulfoxide. The enzyme preferentially catalyzed allylic/benzyl aldehydes as the substrate in the reduction of aldehydes/ketones and yielded the highest activity of 427 U mg−1 for benzaldehyde reduction, while the alcohol oxidation reaction demonstrated the maximum activity of 79.9 U mg−1 using crotyl alcohol as the substrate. Moreover, kinetic parameters of the enzyme showed lower Km values and higher catalytic efficiency for crotonaldehyde/benzaldehyde and NADPH than for crotyl alcohol/benzyl alcohol and NADP+, suggesting the nature of being an aldehyde reductase. 相似文献

Alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) is a key enzyme in the production and utilization of alcohols. Some also catalyze the formation
of carboxylate esters from alcohols and aldehydes. The ADH1 and ADH3 genes of Neurospora crassa FGSC2489 were cloned and expressed in recombinant Escherichia coli to investigate their alcohol dehydrogenation and carboxylate ester formation abilities. Homology analysis and sequence alignment
of amino acid sequence indicated that ADH1 and ADH3 of N. crassa contained a zinc-binding consensus sequence and a NAD+-binding motif and showed 54–75% identity with fungi ADHs. N. crassa ADH1 was expressed in E. coli to give a specific activity of 289 ± 9 mU/mg using ethanol and NAD+ as substrate and cofactor, respectively. Corresponding experiments on the expression and activity of ADH3 gave 4 mU/mg of specific activity. N. crassa
ADH1 preferred primary alcohols containing C3–C8 carbons to secondary alcohols such as 2-propanol and 2-butanol. N. crassa
ADH1 possessed 5.3 mU/mg of specific carboxylate ester-forming activity accumulating 0.4 mM of ethyl acetate in 18 h. Substrate
specificity of various linear alcohols and aldehydes indicated that short chain-length alcohols and aldehydes were good substrates
for carboxylate ester production. N. crassa
ADH1 was a primary alcohol dehydrogenase using cofactor NAD+ preferably and possessed carboxylate ester-forming activity with short chain alcohols and aldehydes. 相似文献

Long chain fatty alcohols have wide application in chemical industries and transportation sector. There is no direct natural reservoir for long chain fatty alcohol production, thus many groups explored metabolic engineering approaches for its microbial production. Escherichia coli has been the major microbial platform for this effort, however, terminal endogenous enzyme responsible for converting fatty aldehydes of chain length C14-C18 to corresponding fatty alcohols is still been elusive. Through our in silico analysis we selected 35 endogenous enzymes of E. coli having potential of converting long chain fatty aldehydes to fatty alcohols and studied their role under in vivo condition. We found that deletion of ybbO gene, which encodes NADP+ dependent aldehyde reductase, led to >90% reduction in long chain fatty alcohol production. This feature was found to be strain transcending and reinstalling ybbO gene via plasmid retained the ability of mutant to produce long chain fatty alcohols. Enzyme kinetic study revealed that YbbO has wide substrate specificity ranging from C6 to C18 aldehyde, with maximum affinity and efficiency for C18 and C16 chain length aldehyde, respectively. Along with endogenous production of fatty aldehyde via optimized heterologous expression of cyanobaterial acyl-ACP reductase (AAR), YbbO overexpression resulted in 169 mg/L of long chain fatty alcohols. Further engineering involving modulation of fatty acid as well as of phospholipid biosynthesis pathway improved fatty alcohol production by 60%. Finally, the engineered strain produced 1989 mg/L of long chain fatty alcohol in bioreactor under fed-batch cultivation condition. Our study shows for the first time a predominant role of a single enzyme in production of long chain fatty alcohols from fatty aldehydes as well as of modulation of phospholipid pathway in increasing the fatty alcohol production. 相似文献

Enoate reductase or clostridia containing this enzyme (Clostridium tyrobutyricum or C. kluyveri) catalyse the reduction of alpha,beta-unsaturated aldehydes (enals). The enantiomeric purity of the saturated aldehydes obtained from alpha-substituted enals is usually rather low and depends heavily on the reaction conditions. The reduction of the corresponding allyl alcohols to the saturated alcohols leads to much higher enantiomeric purities, though the reduction of the enal corresponding to the allyl alcohol to the saturated aldehyde is an intermediary step in the reaction sequence allyl alcohol----saturated alcohol. The explanation seems to be the racemisation of saturated aldehydes caused by enoate reductase. This is illustrated by the reduction of (E)-2-methylcinnamyl aldehyde to (R)-2-methyl-3-phenylpropanal or (R)-2-methyl-3-phenylpropanol under different conditions and measuring the racemisation of the aldehyde as well as the hydrogen-deuterium exchange of 3-phenylpropanal. In contrast to saturated carboxylates saturated aldehydes can be dehydrogenated to alpha,beta-unsaturated aldehydes (enals) by enoate reductase in the presence of electron acceptors such as oxygen or dichlorophenol indophenol. Under these conditions enoate reductase shows in the presence of oxygen a surprisingly high half life (greater than 20 h) as compared to that which is observed when the enzyme was used as a reductase with NADH in the presence of oxygen. In this case the enzyme is inactivated within a few minutes. 相似文献

An organism tentatively identified as Ralstonia eutropha was isolated from enrichment cultures containing tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol (THFA) as the sole source of carbon and energy. The strain was able to tolerate up to 200 mM THFA in mineral salt medium. The degradation was initiated by an inducible ferricyanide-dependent alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) which was detected in the soluble fraction of cell extracts. The enzyme catalyzed the oxidation of THFA to the corresponding tetrahydrofuran-2-carboxylic acid. Studies with n-pentanol as the substrate revealed that the corresponding aldehyde was released as a free intermediate. The enzyme was purified 211-fold to apparent homogeneity and could be identified as a quinohemoprotein containing one pyrroloquinoline quinone and one covalently bound heme c per monomer. It was a monomer of 73 kDa and had an isoelectric point of 9.1. A broad substrate spectrum was obtained for the enzyme, which converted different primary alcohols, starting from C2 compounds, secondary alcohols, diols, polyethylene glycol 6000, and aldehydes, including formaldehyde. A sequence identity of 65% with a quinohemoprotein ADH from Comamonas testosteroni was found by comparing 36 N-terminal amino acids. The ferricyanide-dependent ADH activity was induced during growth on different alcohols except ethanol. In addition to this activity, an NAD-dependent ADH was present depending on the alcohol used as the carbon source. 相似文献

NAD-linked, factor-dependent formaldehyde dehydrogenase (FD-FA1DH) of the Gram-positive methylotrophic bacterium, Amycolatopsis methanolica, was purified to homogeneity. It is a trimeric enzyme with identical subunits (molecular mass 40 kDa) containing 6 atoms Zn/enzyme molecule. The factor is a heat-stable, low-molecular-mass compound, which showed retention on an Aminex HPX-87H column. Inactivation of the factor occurred during manipulation, but activity could be restored by incubation with dithiothreitol. The identity of the factor is still unknown. It could not be replaced by thiol compounds or cofactors known to be involved in metabolism of C1 compounds. Of the aldehydes tested, only formaldehyde was a substrate. However, the enzyme showed also activity with higher aliphatic alcohols and the presence of the factor was not required for this reaction. Methanol was not a substrate, but high concentrations of it could replace the factor in the conversion of formaldehyde. Presumably, a hemiacetal of formaldehyde is the genuine substrate, which, in the case of methanol, acts as a factor leading to methylformate as the product. This view is supported by the fact that formate could only be detected in the reaction mixture after acidification. Inhibition studies revealed that the enzyme contains a reactive thiol group, being protected by the binding of NAD against attack by heavy-metal ions and aldehydes. Studies on the effect of the order of addition of coenzyme and substrate suggested that optimal catalysis required NAD as the first binding component. Substrate specificity and the induction pattern clearly indicate a role of the enzyme in formaldehyde oxidation. However, since FD-FA1DH was also found in A. methanolica grown on n-butanol, but not on ethanol, it may have a role in the oxidation of higher aliphatic alcohols as well. FD-FA1DH and the factor from A. methanolica are very similar to a combination already described for Rhodococcus erythropolis [Eggeling, L. & Sahm, H. (1985) Eur. J. Biochem. 150, 129-134]. NAD-linked, glutathione-dependent formaldehyde dehydrogenase (GD-FA1DH) resembles FD-FA1DH in many respects. Since glutathione has so far not been detected in Gram-positive bacteria, FD-FA1DH could be the counterpart of this enzyme in Gram-positive bacteria. Alignment of the N-terminal sequence (31 residues) of FD-FA1DH with that of GD-FA1DH from rat liver indeed showed similarity (30% identical positions). However, comparable similarity was found with class I alcohol dehydrogenase from this organism and with cytosolic alcohol dehydrogenase from Saccharomyces cerevisiae, isozyme 1.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS) 相似文献

Two alcohol dehydrogenases (alcohol: NAD oxidoreductase, EC 1.1.1.1 and alcohol: NADP oxidoreductase, EC 1.1.1.2) were partially purified from extracts of strawberry seeds by conventional methods. Some of physical, chemical and kinetic properties of the enzymes are described. On the basis of gel filtration, the molecular weights were estimated to be approximately 78,000 for NAD-dependent enzyme and 82,000 for NADP-dependent enzyme. Thiol-reacting compounds inhibited both enzymes. NAD-dependent alcohol dehydrogenase reacted only with aliphatic alcohols and aldehydes, while aromatic and terpene alcohols and aldehydes were the better substrates for NADP-dependent alcohol dehydrogenase than aliphatic alcohols and aldehydes. 相似文献

Alcohol oxidase (alcohol:oxygen oxidoreductase) was crystallized from a methanolgrown yeast, Pichia sp. The crystalline enzyme is homogenous as judged from polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Alcohol oxidase catalyzed the oxidation of short-chain primary alcohols (C1 to C6), substituted primary alcohols (2-chloroethanol, 3-chloro-1-propanol, 4-chlorobutanol, isobutanol), and formaldehyde. The general reaction with an oxidizable substrate is as follows: Primary alcohol + O2 → aldehyde + H2O2 Formaldehyde + O2 → formate + H2O2. Secondary alcohols, tertiary alcohols, cyclic alcohols, aromatic alcohols, and aldehydes (except formaldehyde) were not oxidized. The Km values for methanol and formaldehyde are 0.5 and 3.5 mm, respectively. The stoichiometry of substrate oxidized (alcohol or formaldehyde), oxygen consumed, and product formed (aldehyde or formate) is 1:1:1. The purified enzyme has a molecular weight of 300,000 as determined by gel filtration and a subunit size of 76,000 as determined by sodium dodecyl sulfate-gel electrophoresis, indicating that alcohol oxidase consists of four identical subunits. The purified alcohol oxidase has absorption maxima at 460 and 380 nm which were bleached by the addition of methanol. The prosthetic group of the enzyme was identified as a flavin adenine dinucleotide. Alcohol oxidase activity was inhibited by sulfhydryl reagents (p-chloromercuribenzoate, mercuric chloride, 5,5′-dithiobis-2-nitrobenzoate, iodoacetate) indicating the involvement of sulfhydryl groups(s) in the oxidation of alcohols by alcohol oxidase. Hydrogen peroxide (product of the reaction), 2-aminoethanol (substrate analogue), and cupric sulfate also inhibited alcohol oxidase activity. 相似文献

Long-chain aldehydes, alcohols, hydrocarbons and wax esters were major components of the external lipids of adult Aleyrodes singularis. In exuviae, acetate esters replaced the hydrocarbons as a major component. The major long-chain alcohol and aldehyde from adults were C32 and were essentially the exclusive components of the wax particles. The major alcohol from exuviae was C26 and the aldehydes were C26, C28, C30 and C32. The major acetate esters were C28 and C30 in both adults and exuviae. There were wax esters of similar carbon number in adults and exuviae although the exuviae had a greater amount of wax esters with unsaturated fatty acids. The fatty acid and alcohol composition of the wax esters differed markedly between adults and exuviae. Wax esters of adults had similar amounts of C16, C18, C20, C22 and C24 fatty acids while those from exuviae contained largely C16 and C18. The major alcohol in the wax esters of adults was C22 and those of exuviae were C26 and C28. The distribution of fatty acids and alcohols among wax esters of varying chain length also differed between adults and exuviae: in adults C22 was the major fatty acid found in the dominant wax ester, C44 and the C22 alcohol was the major alcohol and found in wax esters C42 and C44. In exuviae C16 and C18 were the major fatty acids found in most wax esters and a C28 alcohol was the major alcohol found in wax esters C44 and C46, the two dominant wax esters in exuviae. It was clear that the difference in chemistry of the wax esters between the adults and exuviae is not evident unless the acid and alcohol moieties are characterized. 相似文献

Thermoanaerobacter ethanolicus (ATCC 31550) has primary and secondary alcohol dehydrogenases. The two enzymes were purified to homogeneity as judged from sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and gel filtration. The apparent Mrs of the primary and secondary alcohol dehydrogenases are 184,000 and 172,000, respectively. Both enzymes have high thermostability. They are tetrameric with apparently identical subunits and contain from 3.2 to 5.5 atoms of Zn per subunit. The two dehydrogenases are NADP dependent and reversibly convert ethanol and 1-propanol to the respective aldehydes. The Vm values with ethanol as a substrate are 45.6 μmol/min per mg for the primary alcohol dehydrogenase and 13 μmol/min per mg for the secondary alcohol dehydrogenase at pH 8.9 and 60°C. The primary enzyme oxidizes primary alcohols, including up to heptanol, at rates similar to that of ethanol. It is inactive with secondary alcohols. The secondary enzyme is inactive with 1-pentanol or longer chain alcohols. Its best substrate is 2-propanol, which is oxidized 15 times faster than ethanol. The secondary alcohol dehydrogenase is formed early during the growth cycle. It is stimulated by pyruvate and has a low Km for acetaldehyde (44.8 mM) in comparison to that of the primary alcohol dehydrogenase (210 mM). The latter enzyme is formed late in the growth cycle. It is postulated that the secondary alcohol dehydrogenase is largely responsible for the formation of ethanol in fermentations of carbohydrates by T. ethanolicus. 相似文献

NADPH-dependent alkylaldehyde reducing enzyme, which was greatly induced by n-hexadecane, from Acinetobacter sp. strain M-1 was purified and characterized. The purified enzyme had molecular masses of 40 kDa as determined by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and 160 kDa as determined by gel filtration chromatography. The enzyme, which was shown to be highly thermostable, was most active toward n-heptanal and could use n-alkylaldehydes ranging from C(2) to C(14) and several substituted benzaldehydes, including the industrially important compounds cinnamyl aldehyde and anisaldehyde, as substrates. The alrA gene coding for this enzyme was cloned, and its nucleotide sequence was determined. The deduced amino acid sequence encoded by the alrA gene exhibited homology to the amino acid sequences of zinc-containing alcohol dehydrogenases from various sources. The gene could be highly expressed in Escherichia coli, and the product was purified to homogeneity by simpler procedures from the recombinant than from the original host. Our results show that this enzyme can be used for industrial bioconversion of useful alcohols and aldehydes. 相似文献

In this study we have examined the roles of alcohol dehydrogenase, aldehyde oxidase, and aldehyde dehydrogenase in the adaptation of Drosophila melanogaster to alcohol environments. Fifteen strains were characterized for genetic variation at the above loci by protein electrophoresis. Levels of in vitro enzyme activity were also determined. The strains examined showed considerable variation in enzyme activity for all three gene-enzyme systems. Each enzyme was also characterized for coenzyme requirements, effect of inhibitors, subcellular location, and tissue specific expression. A subset of the strains was chosen to assess the physiological role of each gene-enzyme system in alcohol and aldehyde metabolism. These strains were characterized for both the ability to utilize alcohols and aldehydes as carbon sources as well as the capacity to detoxify such substrates. The results of the above analyses demonstrate the importance of both alcohol dehydrogenase and aldehyde dehydrogenase in the in vivo metabolism of alcohols and aldehydes. 相似文献

NAD-linked alcohol dehydrogenase activity was detected in cell-free crude extracts from various propane-grown bacteria. Two NAD-linked alcohol dehydrogenases, one which preferred primary alcohols (alcohol dehydrogenase I) and another which preferred secondary alcohols (alcohol dehydrogenase II), were found in propane-grown Pseudomonas fluorescens NRRL B-1244 and were separated from each other by DEAE-cellulose column chromatography. The properties of alcohol dehydrogenase I resembled those of well-known primary alcohol dehydrogenases. Alcohol dehydrogenase II was purified 46-fold; it was homogeneous as judged by acrylamide gel electrophoresis. The molecular weight of this secondary alcohol dehydrogenase is 144,500; it consisted of four subunits per molecule of enzyme protein. It oxidized secondary alcohols, notably, 2-propanol, 2-butanol, and 2-pentanol. Primary alcohols and diols were also oxidized, but at a lower rate. Alcohols with more than six carbon atoms were not oxidized. The pH and temperature optima for secondary alcohol dehydrogenase activity were 8 to 9 and 60 to 70 degrees C, respectively. The activation energy calculated from an Arrhenius plot was 8.2 kcal (ca. 34 kJ). The Km values at 25 degrees C, pH 7.0, were 8.2 X 10(-6) M for NAD and 8.5 X 10(-5) M for 2-propanol. The secondary alcohol dehydrogenase activity was inhibited by strong thiol reagents and strong metal-chelating agents such as 4-hydroxymercuribenzoate, 5,5'-dithiobis(2-nitrobenzoic acid), 5-nitro-8-hydroxyquinoline, and 1,10-phenanthroline. The enzyme oxidized the stereoisomers of 2-butanol at an equal rate. Alcohol dehydrogenase II had good thermal stability and the ability to catalyze reactions at high temperature (85 degrees C). It appears to have properties distinct from those of previously described primary and secondary alcohol dehydrogenases. 相似文献

Cell-free extracts of Pseudomonas testosteroni, grown on alcohols, contain quinoprotein alcohol dehydrogenase apoenzyme, as was demonstrated by the detection of dye-linked alcohol dehydrogenase activity after the addition of PQQ (pyrroloquinoline quinone). The apoenzyme was purified to homogeneity, and the holoenzyme was characterized. Primary alcohols (except methanol), secondary alcohols and aldehydes were substrates, and a broad range of dyes functioned as artificial electron acceptor. Optimal activity was observed at pH 7.7, and the presence of Ca2+ in the assay appeared to be essential for activity. The apoenzyme was found to be a monomer (Mr 67,000 +/- 5000), with an absorption spectrum similar to that of oxidized cytochrome c. After reconstitution to the holoenzyme by the addition of PQQ, addition of substrate changed the absorption spectrum to that of reduced cytochrome c, indicating that the haem c group participated in the enzymic mechanism. The enzyme contained one haem c group, and full reconstitution was achieved with 1 mol of PQQ/mol. In view of the aberrant properties, it is proposed to distinguish the enzyme from the common quinoprotein alcohol dehydrogenases by using the name 'quinohaemoprotein alcohol dehydrogenase'. Incorporation of PQQ into the growth medium resulted in a significant shortening of lag time and increase in growth rate. Therefore PQQ appears to be a vitamin for this organism during growth on alcohols, reconstituting the apoenzyme to a functional holoenzyme. 相似文献

Fatty aldehyde dehydrogenase (FALDH) is an NAD+-dependent oxidoreductase involved in the metabolism of fatty alcohols. Enzyme activity has been implicated in the pathology of diabetes and cancer. Mutations in the human gene inactivate the enzyme and cause accumulation of fatty alcohols in Sjögren-Larsson syndrome, a neurological disorder resulting in physical and mental handicaps. Microsomal FALDH was expressed in E. coli and purified. Using an in vitro activity assay an optimum pH of ~9.5 and temperature of ~35°C were determined. Medium- and long-chain fatty aldehydes were converted to the corresponding acids and kinetic parameters determined. The enzyme showed high activity with heptanal, tetradecanal, hexadecanal and octadecanal with lower activities for the other tested substrates. The enzyme was also able to convert some fatty alcohol substrates to their corresponding aldehydes and acids, at 25–30% the rate of aldehyde oxidation. A structural model of FALDH has been constructed, and catalytically important residues have been proposed to be involved in alcohol and aldehyde oxidation: Gln-120, Glu-207, Cys-241, Phe-333, Tyr-410 and His-411. These results place FALDH in a central role in the fatty alcohol/acid interconversion cycle, and provide a direct link between enzyme inactivation and disease pathology caused by accumulation of alcohols. 相似文献

Six-carbon aldehydes and alcohols belong to flavours and fragrances with wide application in the food, feed, cosmetic, chemical and pharmaceutical sectors. In the present study, we prepared the expression system for production of recombinant yeast alcohol dehydrogenase 1 (YADH1) from Saccharomyces cerevisiae which is suitable also for catalysis of the interconversion of C-6 aldehydes and alcohols. We have demonstrated that an effective three-step strategy can overcome the insolubility problems during YADH1 production in Escherichia coli. We used trxB and gor deficient expression strain, decreased concentration of isopropyl β-D-1-thiogalactopyranoside and lowered temperature to 20°C during induction. Finally, kinetic parameters of recombinant YADH1 were determined and we concluded it is a promising enzyme also for the interconversion of C-6 alcohols/aldehydes in green note volatile production. 相似文献
