The invention discloses a
rumen anaerobic
fungus-derived
expansin protein mutant as well as a coding
gene and application thereof, and belongs to the technical field of biological
genetic engineering. Mutants, namely mutants PFSWO21-N1, PFSWO21-N2 and PFSWO21-N3, which are higher in expression quantity, better in
thermal stability and stronger in synergistic effect with
cellulase are obtained by performing site-specific
mutagenesis on
wild type expansin protein PFSWO21, the mutants are successfully expressed in
pichia pastoris, and by destroying a
hydrogen bond network among
cellulose molecules, the expression quantity of the
pichia pastoris can be effectively increased, so that the expression quantity of the
pichia pastoris can be effectively increased, and the expression quantity of the
pichia pastoris can be effectively increased. The
mutant can obviously enhance the enzymolysis efficiency of
cellulase on lignocellulose, can improve the feed
utilization rate of agricultural wastes such as straws and the like, and also can inhibit
methane generation by regulating
fermentation parameters and microbial
community structures in the
rumen in-vitro
fermentation process, so that the
fermentation efficiency is improved. The method has important application value in the aspect of reducing
greenhouse gas emission in
animal husbandry.
