In enzymology, a feruloyl esterase (EC 3.1.1.73) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction feruloyl-polysaccharide + H₂O ⇌ ferulate + polysaccharide Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are feruloyl-polysaccharide and H₂O, whereas its two products are ferulate and polysaccharide. This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, specifically those acting on carboxylic ester bonds. The systematic name of this enzyme class is feruloyl esterase.
The application provides ferulic acidesterase mutants with improved specific activity and application thereof, and the application carries out directional evolution on a ferulic acidesterasegene derived from Bacillus pumilus, expresses the ferulic acidesterasegene in an E. coli expression system, and obtains ferulic acid esterase mutants DV1 and DV2 with improved enzyme activity and expression efficiency through screening. The amino acid sequences of the ferulic acid esterase mutants DV1 and DV2 are shown in SEQ ID NO. 4 and SEQ ID NO. 6 respectively, and the mutants DV1 and DV2 obtained by the application have higher protein yield, higher specific activity of methyl ferulate esterase, and higher degradation efficiency of macromolecular p-nitrophenol ester substrates compared with the original bacteria BpFAE. Therefore, the mutants can be used for degrading plant fibers and preparing feed fermenting agents, and have good market application prospect.
A method of treating a sunflowerplant stem is disclosed. The method comprises the steps of:selecting a sunflowerplant, removing the flower head and leaves from the stem and preparing the stem for enzymatic treatment by slitting the stem lengthways, removing the inner core from the stem;a) treating the cut stem with a pectinase containing a first buffer solution, for 24 hours with shaking at a pH of 3.8-8.5, and at a temperature of from 20-60° C.;b) removing the stem and washing with water,c) placing the stems into a second buffer solution containing xylanase, at a pH of from 7.0-8.0 and at a temperature of from 37-50° C. for 24 hours with shaking;d) removing the stems and washing with watere) placing the stems into a third buffer solution containing feruloyl esterase, at a pH of 7.2-8.0 containing 0.01-0.05% feruloyl esterase, at a temperature of from 37-50° C. for up to 24 hours,f) removing the stems and washing with water,g) pressing the stems to remove unwanted plant matter.
The invention discloses recombinant feruloyl esterase as well as a mutant and application thereof, and belongs to the technical field of enzymeengineering. The feruloyl esterase CbFAE is derived from Clostridium butyricum, the amino acid sequence of a wild enzyme is as shown in SEQ ID NO: 1, the sequence of an encoding gene of the feruloyl esterase CbFAE is as shown in SEQ ID NO: 2, and a target enzyme is obtained by constructing a recombinant expression vector containing a CbFAE gene and performing induced expression and purification in escherichia coli BL21 (DE3). Substrate spectrum analysis shows that the enzyme not only has the activity of catalyzing decomposition of mode substrates such as methyl ferulate, but also has the catalytic activity of decomposing mono (2-hydroxyethyl) terephthalate (MHET) into terephthalic acid (TPA) and ethylene glycol (EG); the invention also constructs a CbFAE mutant L168R based on sequence and structure analysis, the amino acid sequence of the mutant enzyme is as shown in SEQ ID NO: 3, and the activity of catalyzing MHET decomposition under the same reaction condition is nearly 4 times higher than that of a wild type. According to the recombinant feruloyl esterase and the mutant thereof provided by the invention, the variety of MHET hydrolase is expanded, and a new way is provided for biodegradation of MHET.
The invention relates to lactobacillus pentosus AR10 for producing feruloyl esterase and application of the lactobacillus pentosus AR10. The lactobacillus pentosus AR1 disclosed by the invention is preserved in the China Center for Type Culture Collection (CCTCC), and the preservation number of the lactobacillus pentosus AR1 is CCTCC NO: M 20251084. The lactobacillus pentosus AR1 disclosed by the invention has the advantages that the lactobacillus pentosus AR1 is preserved in the China Center for Type Culture Collection (CCTCC); the strain provided by the invention can produce feruloyl esterase to degrade ferulate, also shows relatively strong environmental adaptability, and can still have certain growth activity in an environment with the pH value of 3.0, the temperature of 45 DEG C and 10% NaCl. In addition, the strain can also utilize various sugar source substances. When the strain is compounded with fermentationbacteria such as lactobacillus plantarum and the like to be applied to corn strawsilage, the fiber content in straw can be remarkably reduced, and the nutritional value of silage is improved.
