AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

This patented technology improves how well an organism's own beta glucans are able to break down cell walls into smaller molecules called oligosaccharides or glycosaminogens (GAG). These small sugars help cells become better themselves when they die during their growth cycle. By comparing different types of bacteria found on Earth, this new method allows for faster production rates while maintaining high levels of GA content.

Problems solved by technology

This patented technical problem addressed in this patents relates to improving beta gluconases' ability to resist heat stress during fermentative processing due to insurious factors like α-galactosidase and other carbohydrate hydroxamate compounds commonly associated therewith. These unwanted side effects include decreased bioavailability caused by excessive consumption of these sugars and impairments in taste quality when consumers drink them without any added sugar products. To address this issue, various methods were proposed including modifying certain parts of alpha-mannanase called endoinosporin A within each yeast species involved in beta-glacerbility.

Embodiment 1

[0029] Example 1 Selection of mutation sites

[0030] Submit the deduced amino acid sequence of β-glucanase to the I-TASSER online server for homology modeling, and input the PDB file obtained from the modeling into Voronoia software to calculate the position of lysine in the structure. It can be seen from Table 1 that in the three-dimensional structure of β-glucanase, the average packing values ​​of all 12 lysines are between 0.47 and 0.62, all of which are on the surface of the protein and have the highest solution accessibility. This means that lysine located on the surface of the protein may have an effect on the thermostability of β-glucanase.

Abstract

The invention discloses a 1,3-1,4-beta-glucanase mutant, and belongs to the fields of gene engineering and enzyme engineering. Lysine in the 20th position, 117th position and 165th position of 1,3-1,4-beta-glucanase from Bacillus terquilensis mutates through an overlapping extension PCR method to form serine in order to obtain single mutants K20S, K117S and K165S respectively. The above three mutation sites are integrally mutated to obtain a K20S/K117S/K165S triple mutant enzyme. Four mutant enzymes have higher catalysis activity and better thermal stability. Compared with wild enzymes, the above mutant enzymes are in favor of realizing the industrial application.
