Embodiment 1

[0024] Example 1: Construction of keratinase site-directed mutants

[0025] (1) Selection of keratinase P1C2T2 mutation site

[0026] Based on the keratinase mutant P1C2T2 in the previous patent (CN201410276309.3) of this experiment, five site-directed mutants were constructed.

[0027] In the present invention, the crystal structure (PDB ID: 3TI7) of subtilisin BprV with the highest degree of similarity is used as a template, and the three-dimensional simulation structure of keratinase P1C2T2 mature protein is constructed by Modeller V9.11 software ( figure 1 ). Through amino acid primary sequence alignment, it was found that the similarity between subtilisin BprV and keratinase P1C2T2 reached 47%. Although the model obtained by using Modeller software can largely meet the requirements of rational design, further optimization is still needed. The invention adopts NAMD molecular dynamics software to carry out molecular dynamics calculation on the initially constructed model ...

Embodiment 2

[0035] Example 2: Expression and purification of keratinase mutants

[0036]Pick and transfer the positive single clone of Escherichia coli BL21(DE3) into the expression host and grow in LB liquid medium (containing 80 μg / ml ampicana antibiotic) for 8-10 hours, and transfer the seed fermentation broth to TB liquid culture according to 5% inoculation amount base (containing 80 μg / ml ampicana antibiotic); Escherichia coli was cultured on a shaker at 37°C for 2 hours until OD 600 = about 1.2, add 0.2mM final concentration of IPTG to induce cells to express keratinase extracellularly, and continue to culture and ferment on a shaker at 20°C for 48h, then centrifuge the fermentation broth at 4°C and 8000rpm for 15min to remove bacteria, and collect the centrifuged fermentation. The supernatant was analyzed by SDS-PAGE. It was found that the extracellular protein band was single, and the molecular weight of the site-directed mutant was close to the 46kDa of P1C2T2 ( figure 2 ), an...

Embodiment 3

[0038] Embodiment 3: enzyme activity analysis method

[0039] 1) Enzyme activity assay method

[0040] The enzymatic activity of keratinase was determined by Folin-phenol reagent chromogenic method. Under certain conditions, keratinase hydrolyzes keratin substrates to release tyrosine. Folin-phenol reagent can be reduced by phenolic compounds under alkaline conditions to turn blue (a mixture of molybdenum blue and tungsten blue), while the keratin substrate is hydrolyzed to release free tyrosine as phenolic substances, and color development occurs The reaction can be within a certain range. The depth of the color is proportional to the release of tyrosine, so the colorimetry can be performed at a wavelength of 660nm to calculate the enzyme activity. Definition of enzyme activity unit: Under the above conditions, with the unreacted sample as a blank control, the amount of enzyme per milliliter that catalyzes the decomposition of keratin to generate 1 μg of tyrosine per minute...

Abstract

The invention discloses keratinase mutants with thermostability and catalytic activity improved and belongs to the technical field of genetic engineering and enzyme engineering. The keratinase mutants are Y198F, Y291V, A322G and A322S, wherein A322S shows highest enzyme activity at 70 DEG C, which is an increase of almost 40% when compared with that of P1C2T2. Half-life period of all mutants is longer than that of wild-type keratinase KerSMD, wherein A322S has highest thermostability and has half-life period up to 185min. Four site-specific mutants 198Y198F, Y319F, A322G and A322S with extracellular enzyme catalytic activity improved obviously are obtained, wherein catalytic activity of Y319F is 1558U / ml at highest, which is three times that of starting mutant P1C2T2 strain. Keratinase with specific enzyme activity improved obviously mainly includes 198Y198F and Y319F. Therefore, both thermostability and extracellular enzyme activity of the keratinase mutant A322G are improved obviously, and the keratinase mutant A322G has higher application value and potential than the wild-type keratinase.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a keratinase mutant with improved thermal stability and catalytic activity, belonging to the technical fields of genetic engineering and enzyme engineering. Background technique [0002] Keratinase is a specific protease produced by microorganisms that can degrade keratin substrates (such as feathers, wool, cattle and sheep horns, etc.). As a protease with broad substrate specificity and strong hydrolysis catalytic ability, keratinase has great potential in industrial applications and can replace traditional proteases for feather degradation, leather textiles, feed additives, organic fertilizers and detergents etc. In addition, keratinase can effectively degrade the prions that cause sheep scrapie and mad cow disease. With the development of industrialization, the performance and output of keratinase produced by wild fungus are far from meeting the market demand. Most of the keratinase-producing wild bacteria screened at pre...
