The invention discloses a gamma-
cyclodextrin glucosyltransferase mutant and application thereof, the
mutant is obtained by mutating the 187th
serine of wild gamma-CGTase from Candidate Angelobacter sp. Into
alanine and mutating the 265th
asparagine into
phenylalanine, and the
nucleotide sequence of the coding
gene of the
mutant is as shown in SEQ ID NO.7. The invention also discloses a preparation method of the gamma-
cyclodextrin glucosyltransferase mutant. The invention also provides a
recombinant expression vector containing the
gene, a recombinant
genetically engineered bacterium and application of the
recombinant expression vector and the recombinant
genetically engineered bacterium in preparation of gamma-
cyclodextrin. Compared with wild gamma-CGTase, the relative
enzyme activity of the mutant is improved by 1.8 times; after incubation at 60 DEG C for 2 hours, the residual
enzyme activity is still kept at 85% or above; when the mutant is used for catalyzing
starch to prepare gamma-cyclodextrin, the proportion of gamma-cyclodextrin in a product is not lower than 97%. Therefore, the gamma-cyclodextrin can be efficiently and highly selectively prepared only by taking the natural
starch as the substrate, and a novel
enzyme preparation and a process
route which are efficient, stable and better in cost are provided for industrial production of the gamma-cyclodextrin.
