Embodiment 1

[0032] Example 1 Determination of Mutation Sites

[0033] Calcium ion binding sites widely exist in the α-amylase family, and as a member of the α-amylase family (family 13), CGT enzymes also have similar calcium ion binding sites. Through sequence alignment and crystal structure analysis, it was found that the calcium ion binding site CaⅢ was significantly different in CGTases from different sources, which suggested that the change of amino acid residues at this site may affect the activity of the enzyme. The calcium ion binding site of CGTase derived from Bacillus circulans STB01 consists of two amino acid residues, Ala315 and Asp577.

Embodiment 2

[0034] Preparation of embodiment 2 mutants D577A, D577G, D577E, D577R and D577K

[0035] (1) Site-directed mutation

[0036] According to the wild CGTase gene sequence shown in SEQ ID NO.1, primers for introducing mutations in Ala577, Gly577, Glu577, Arg577 and Lys577 codons were designed and synthesized respectively.

[0037] Using rapid PCR technology, site-directed mutagenesis was performed using the expression vector cgt / pST containing the wild CGTase gene as a template.

[0038] Primers for site-directed mutagenesis introducing the Ala577 codon:

[0039] Forward primer: 5'-GCAATGTGTAT GCT AACTTCGAG-3', the underline is the mutant base,

[0040] Reverse primer: 5'-CTCGAAGTT AGC ATACACATTGC-3', the underline is the mutant base;

[0041] Primers for site-directed mutagenesis introducing the Gly577 codon:

[0042] Forward primer: 5'-GCAATGTGTAT GGT AACTTCGAG-3', the underline is the mutant base,

[0043] Reverse primer: 5'-CTCGAAGTT ACC ATACACATTGC-3', the underli...

Embodiment 3

[0059] Embodiment 3 Enzyme assay analysis

[0060] (1) Determination of enzyme activity

[0061] Determination of α-cyclization activity: Take 0.1 mL of appropriately diluted enzyme solution, add 0.9 mL of 1% (w / v) maltodextrin (DE=5) prepared in advance with 10 mM phosphate buffer (pH 6.5) In the test tube of the solution, after reacting at 50°C for 10min, add 1.0mL of 1.0N hydrochloric acid to stop the reaction, then add 1.0mL of 0.1mM methyl orange solution prepared with 10mM phosphate buffer, keep warm at 20°C for 15min, and measure at 505nm Absorbance. Using the inactivated enzyme as a blank, the content of α-cyclodextrin was determined corresponding to the α-cyclodextrin standard curve. One enzyme activity unit is defined as the amount of enzyme required to generate 1 μmol of cyclodextrin per minute under the above conditions.

[0062] Determination of β-cyclization activity: Take 0.1 mL of appropriately diluted enzyme solution, add 0.9 mL of 1% (w / v) maltodextrin (DE...

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for improving the cyclization activity of cyclodextrin glucosyltransferase, and belongs to the field of genetic engineering and enzyme engineering. Aspartic acid (Asp) at the 577th bit of beta-CGT derived from Bacillus circulans STB01 is mutated into alanine (Ala), glycine (Gly), glutamic acid (Glu), ARGININE (Arg) or lysine (Lys) respectively by a site-directed mutation method; compared with wild CGT, the obtained mutant has remarkably improved cyclization activity and is more suitable for industrial production of cyclodextrin.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for improving the cyclization activity of cyclodextrin glucosyltransferase, belonging to the fields of genetic engineering and enzyme engineering. Background technique [0002] Cyclodextrin is a cyclic compound composed of D-glucopyranose connected by α-1,4-glycosidic bonds, among which α-, β- and γ-cyclodextrins composed of 6, 7 and 8 glucose units Essence is most common. Because of its hollow cylindrical structure, it has the characteristics of being hydrophilic on the outside and hydrophobic on the inside. Cyclodextrin can form inclusion complexes with many hydrophobic guest molecules, thereby changing the physical and chemical properties of the guest molecules. Therefore, it is widely used in food, medicine and other industrial fields. has a wide range of applications. [0003] The industrial production of cyclodextrin adopts enzymatic process, that is, it is synthesized by converting starch through cyclization r...
