[0002] Laccase (EC1.10.3.2) is a polyphenol oxidase containing four copper ions and belongs to the multi-copper oxidase (MCOs) family. The catalytic properties of laccases from different sources vary greatly. According to their sources, they are divided into animal and plant laccases and microbial laccases. Microbial laccases can be divided into fungal laccases and bacterial laccases. Laccases have the characteristics of high single-electron redox potential, strong catalytic activity, and a wide range of catalytic substrates. It can oxidatively degrade many harmful substances and has been used in food industry, dyes, decolorization, pulping, bleaching and papermaking wastewater treatment.

[0243] Degradation of ZEN:

[0244] The experiment was divided into 4 groups: acetosyringone solution group, syringaldehyde solution group, luteolin solution group and CK group. The acetosyringone solution group underwent the following operations:

[0245] After adding the purified supernatant of Wt-CotA protein and phosphate buffer at pH 7 (preparation method see Example 3) to the ZEN solution, a certain amount of acetosyringone solution was added to make the final concentration of acetosyringone 1 mM, the final concentration of Wt-CotA protein 20 μg / mL, and the final concentration of ZEN 20 mg / L. At 37°C, the degradation rate (%) of ZEN was detected after 3 hours (detection method as shown above), and the experiment was repeated three times.

[0246] The syringaldehyde solution was used to perform the following operations:

[0247] The only difference from the acetosyringone solution group is that the acetosyringone solution is replaced by syringaldehyde solution, and the rest of the operations are the same as those of the acetosyringone solution group.

[0248] The luteolin solution group was subjected to the following operations:

[0249] The only difference from the acetosyringone solution group was that the acetosyringone solution was replaced with luteolin solution, and the rest of the operations were the same as those of the acetosyringone solution group.

[0250] CK group:

[0251] The only difference from the acetosyringone solution group is that the acetosyringone solution was replaced with distilled water, and the rest of the operations were the same as the acetosyringone solution group. Figure 5 ( Figure 5 In the experiment, CK was the CK group, acetosyringone was the acetosyringone solution group, luteolin was the luteolin solution group, and syringaldehyde was the syringaldehyde solution group. Figure 5 The left bar graph shows the degradation rate of AFB1 (%), and the right bar graph shows the degradation rate of ZEN (%).

[0252] The results showed that all three mediators could degrade 10 μg / mL ZEN and AFB1 by more than 70% within 3 h at 37°C with 20 μg / mL T480A-CotA protein. Figure 5 Compared with the control group, the degradation rates of AFB1 were increased by 76.5%, 67.8% and 77.6% after adding acetosyringone, luteolin and syringaldehyde, respectively, and the degradation rates of ZEN were increased by 60.4%, 64.7% and 60.4%, respectively ( Figure 5 ).

[0253] Example 5 Improving the stress resistance of laccase mutant T480A-CotA using Bacillus subtilis ZJ-2019-1 spores

[0254] Method for improving stress resistance of laccase mutant T480A-CotA using Bacillus subtilis ZJ-2019-1 spores:

[0255] Bacillus subtilis ZJ-2019-1 was inoculated into ordinary LB medium and cultured at 37°C and 250 rpm / min for 12 hours. After removing the supernatant by centrifugation (10,000×g, 4°C, 5 min), the cell pellet was dried at 60°C for 2 hours to obtain Bacillus subtilis spores.

[0256] Prepare 10mM citric acid solution (Sinopharm Reagent, CAS No. 77-92-9) and sodium citrate solution (Sinopharm Reagent CAS No. 68-04-2), use sodium citrate solution to adjust the citric acid solution to pH 4-5 and use it as citric acid buffer for standby use, take 0.5mL citric acid buffer, resuspend the spores of Bacillus subtilis, add 10μg of laccase mutant T480A-CotA (added in the form of T480A-CotA protein purified supernatant), shake culture at 250rpm / min at 25℃ for 2h, and centrifuge (10,000×g, 4℃, 5min). After removing the supernatant, the laccase mutant T480A-CotA adsorbed by Bacillus subtilis spores was obtained, and the experiment was repeated three times.

[0257] The method for preparing the laccase mutant T480A-CotA adsorbed by Bacillus subtilis spores is different from the method for preparing the laccase mutant T480A-CotA adsorbed by Bacillus subtilis spores in that the laccase mutant T480A-CotA is obtained without adding Bacillus subtilis spores for standby use.

[0258] The laccase activity of the mutant T480A-CotA and the mutant T480A-CotA adsorbed by Bacillus subtilis spores was determined at room temperature for 7 and 14 days using ABTS as substrate:

[0259] Accurately weigh 274.3 mg of ABTS (Aladdin reagent, CAS No. A109612), add 10 mL of ultrapure water, vortex mix, take out 0.2 mL, add to 7.8 mL of buffer solution with the same solute as the laccase to be tested, vortex mix again to obtain the working solution. Take 1.6 mL of the working solution and add it to 0.4 mL of the sample to be tested (laccase mutant T480A-CotA adsorbed by Bacillus subtilis spores and laccase mutant T480A-CotA), mix quickly, use a quartz colorimetric cup (Shanghai Meipuda Instrument Co., Ltd., specification 10 mm), measure the absorbance value at 420 nm, calculate the absorbance difference between 0 min and 1 min, and record it as the absorbance difference.

[0260] Enzyme activity calculation formula = (enzyme dilution factor × 1,000 × absorbance difference × total volume of enzyme activity assay system) / (36,000 mol -1 ·L·cm -1 × reaction system enzyme solution volume × colorimetric cup diameter). Enzyme specific activity = enzyme activity / enzyme concentration.

[0261] The results showed that after being placed at room temperature for 7 and 14 days, the ABTS degradation activity of the laccase mutant T480A-CotA was 0%, while the activity of the laccase mutant T480A-CotA after spore adsorption was still maintained at 68.42% and 61.37% ( Figure 6In the present invention, the enzyme is a laccase mutant T480A-CotA, and the immobilized enzyme is a laccase mutant T480A-CotA adsorbed by Bacillus subtilis spores).
