One-Step Production of Immobilized -Amylase in Recombinant Escherichia coli †
نویسندگان
چکیده
Industrial enzymes are often immobilized via chemical cross-linking onto solid supports to enhance stability and facilitate repeated use in bioreactors. For starch-degrading enzymes, immobilization usually places constraints on enzymatic conversion due to the limited diffusion of the macromolecular substrate through available supports. This study describes the one-step immobilization of a highly thermostable -amylase (BLA) from Bacillus licheniformis and its functional display on the surface of polyester beads inside engineered Escherichia coli. An optimized BLA variant (Termamyl) was N-terminally fused to the polyester granuleforming enzyme PhaC of Cupriavidus necator. The fusion protein lacking the signal sequence mediated formation of stable polyester beads exhibiting -amylase activity. The -amylase beads were assessed with respect to -amylase activity, which was demonstrated qualitatively and quantitatively. The immobilized -amylase showed Michaelis-Menten enzyme kinetics exerting a Vmax of about 506 mU/mg of bead protein with a Km of about 5 M, consistent with that of free -amylase. The stability of the enzyme at 85°C and the capacity for repeated usage in a starch liquefaction process were also demonstrated. In addition, structural integrity and functionality of the beads at extremes of pH and temperature, demonstrating their suitability for industrial use, were confirmed by electron microscopy and protein/enzyme analysis. This study proposes a novel, costeffective method for the production of immobilized -amylase in a single step by using the polyester granules forming protein PhaC as a fusion partner in engineered E. coli.

Introduction: Escherichia coli (E.coli) is one of the most widely used hosts for the production of recombinant proteins. The main problem in getting high product yields and productivity is the accumulation of acetic acid (acetate) as an unwanted metabolic by-product. In this study, an antisense-based strategy as a metabolic engineering approach was employed to hamper the acetate excretion probl...
