The invention relates to the technical field of
gene engineering, and particularly discloses three-function
chitinase CmChi18B as well as an expression method and application thereof. The
amino acid sequence of the CmChi18B is shown as SEQ ID No.1, the CmChi18B has the activity of
chitobiose excision
enzyme, the activity of
chitin incision
enzyme and the activity of beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase at the same time, and the
enzyme activity reaches 7.04 U / mg. The enzyme can independently and efficiently convert
chitin into GlcNAc in a low-temperature environment,
colloid chitin can be efficiently converted into GlcNAc after the enzyme acts for 24 hours under the conditions that the temperature is 30 DEG C and the pH value is 5.5, the conversion rate reaches 91.15%, and the product purity exceeds 98%. The CmChi18B has low-temperature adaptability and a wide pH tolerance range. The invention provides an efficient and environment-friendly enzymolysis technology for high-value utilization of marine
biomass resources, and is suitable for the fields of foods, medicines,
cosmetics and the like.
