南极假丝酵母脂肪酶B的酿酒酵母表面展示及其催化己酸乙酯的合成

从南极假丝酵母(Candida antarctica)基因组克隆得到南极假丝酵母脂肪酶B(Candida antarctica Lipase B, CALB)全基因片段, 利用连接肽celA Linker将CALB与酿酒酵母细胞表面展示蛋白a-凝集素的C端连接融合, 构建表面展示载体pICAS-celAL-CALB, 转化酵母后获得重组酵母菌Saccharomyces cerevisiae pICAS-celAL-CALB。该重组酵母菌经葡萄糖诱导表达及分析, 表明CALB已在酿酒酵母细胞表面成功展示, 水解活力达26.26 u/(g·dry cell)。重组酵母菌经冻干能有效地实现在非水相中全细胞催化己酸和乙醇酯化合成己酸乙酯。反应物己酸与乙醇的摩尔比为1:1.25, 己酸乙酯的产率为98.0%, 具有较好的操作稳定性。

Expression of Candida antarctica Lipase B on Yeast Surface and Synthesis of Ethyl Hexanoate Catalyzed by CALB

Short-chain esters play a significant role in the food industry as flavor and aroma constituents. Candida antarctica lipase B (CALB) is one of the most effective catalysts for organic synthesis. We constructed a CALB-displaying yeast whole-cell biocatalyst and applied it to esterification from caproic acid and ethanol. CALB was fused with the alpha-agglutinin C-terminal and the signal peptide of Glucoamylase in pICAS, a yeast surface display vector, to construct plasmid pICAS-CALB. An extremely Asn-rich linker, named celAL was inserted in the Xho I of pICAS-CALB to construct plasmid pICAS-celAL-CALB. The fused gene was under the control of GAPDH promoter. After incubated at 30 degrees C for 96 h the lipase hydrolytic activity of the yeast whole cells reached a plateau, 26.26 u/(g x dry cell). In nonaqeous media, the yield of 98.0% ethyl hexanoate was obtained after 24 h esterification from caproic acid and ethanol (the molar ratio of caproic acid : ethanol = 1 : 1.25) using lyophilized CALB displaying yeast whole cells.
