Embodiment 1

[0025] Example 1 Construction of agarase mutant D622G

[0026] The gene sequence of the mutant was amplified by overlap extension PCR technique. First design degenerate primers to amplify the source Vibiro The conserved sequence of the agarase rAgaZC-1 gene of sp. was cloned by TAIL-PCR to obtain the agarase gene aga ZC-1 full-length sequence (sequence shown in SEQ ID NO.1); construction of recombinant plasmid pET-22b- aga ZC-1. The recombinant plasmid pET-22b- aga ZC-1 was used as the template for the first round of PCR amplification to aga ZC-1-F, D622G-R as primers to amplify the upstream fragment of the target gene to aga ZC-1-R, D622G-F are primers to amplify the downstream fragment of the target gene; then the purified upstream and downstream fragments are mixed and properly diluted as the template for the second round of PCR to aga ZC-1-F, aga ZC-1-R is the primer for amplifying the target gene. The information of each primer is as follows, where the und...

Embodiment 2

[0036] Example 2 Induced expression and purification of agarase

[0037]The engineered bacteria expressing rAgaZC-1 and mutant enzyme D622G were inoculated into LB medium containing 100 mg / L Amp, cultured overnight at 37°C and 200 rpm, and then transferred to the same medium with 1% inoculum. Continue culturing until OD600 is about 0.6, then add IPTG at a final concentration of 1 mM, and continue culturing at 28°C and 180 rpm for 8 h.

[0038] The fermentation broth was centrifuged at 12,000 rpm for 10 min at 4°C, and the supernatant was concentrated by using a hollow fiber column (MWCO: 10 kDa) and ammonium sulfate precipitation to concentrate the enzyme solution. Ammonium sulfate was removed by dialysis in the buffer solution, and the target protein was purified by NTA-Ni column (BBI, China) after filtration through a 0.22 μm membrane. After the collected enzyme solution was concentrated properly, SDS-PAGE was carried out, and the results were as follows: Figure 2-A As sh...

Embodiment 3

[0039] Example 3 Characterization of agarase

[0040] 1. Agarase Activity Assay

[0041] The activity of agarase was determined by DNS method. Add 100 μL of enzyme solution to 900 μL of 50 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7) solution containing 0.2% agar, and react in a water bath at 40°C for 15 min, then add 1.5 mL of DNS reagent to terminate the reaction. After developing color in boiling water for 5 min, cool to room temperature, shake well and measure OD 540 . The released reducing sugar content was determined according to the glucose standard curve. Definition of enzyme activity unit: Under certain reaction conditions, the amount of enzyme required to hydrolyze agarose to produce 1 μmol reducing sugar per minute is defined as an enzyme activity unit U.

[0042] 2. Catalytic Kinetics of Agarase

[0043] At 38.5°C, the enzyme activity of the pure enzyme at different substrate concentrations (0.1-0.5 g / L) was determined, and the hydrolysis reaction of the pure enzyme catalyzed by the ag...

Abstract

The invention provides a site-directed mutagenesis-modified agarase mutant with improved thermal stability and belongs to the field of genetic engineering and enzyme engineering. A mutant according tothe invention is obtained in beta;-Agarase rAgaZC-1 to glycine (D622G). The nucleotide sequence of mutant D622G and the corresponding amino acid sequence are shown in SEQ ID NO. 3 and SEQ ID NO. 4. The catalytic efficiency of D622G was higher than that of rAgaZC-1 There was a 17.6% increase. Thermal inactivation kinetics and hydrolysis kinetics analysis showed that the thermal stability of D622Gwas obviously improved, T5010 was increased by 1.5 DEG C, half-life t1 / 2 at 41 DEG C was prolonged by three times, and more agarose oligosaccharides could be accumulated at 43 DEG C, which enhanced the application potential of agarase in agarose oligosaccharides degradation.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an agarase mutant with improved thermostability through site-directed mutation transformation, belonging to the fields of genetic engineering and enzyme engineering. Background technique [0002] Agarose (Agarose) is the main component of agarose, which is a chain structure formed by the alternating connection of β-D-galactose (Gal) and α-3,6-endo-L-galactose (ALGal). Agarase is a type of glycoside hydrolase (Glucoside Hydrolase, GH) that exclusively degrades agarose to produce agarose oligosaccharides, most of which are derived from marine microorganisms, mainly Gram-negative bacteria, including alternate unit cells Bacteria, Pseudoalteromonas, Microcormosa, Agarophage, etc. [0003] When the agarose is above the sol-gel transition temperature, it is in a sol state. Since the agarose in the sol state has a smaller specific surface area and flow restriction than the gel state, it has a better affinity for agarase, that is, th...
