The invention belongs to the field of bioengineering, and particularly discloses a glutamate oxidase
mutant with improved enzymatic activity. According to the invention, site-specific
mutagenesis and saturation
mutation are carried out on glutamate oxidase coding genes derived from
streptomyces mobaraensis, wherein mutations are C536R, P532R, Q378D, V548E and G236D. After the
mutant obtained by the invention is induced and purified, the
specific enzyme activity of the optimal glutamate oxidase
mutant is 1.69 U / mg and is improved by about 30% compared with that of wild
bacteria, which shows that the 378-site
amino acid residue has great influence on the catalytic action and stability of the
enzyme. In addition, the invention also discloses a construction method of the glutamate oxidase mutant with improved enzymatic activity and application of the glutamate oxidase mutant in production of
amino acid derivatives such as alpha-
ketoglutaric acid. Therefore, the beneficial mutant provided by the invention can lay a good foundation for
industrial fermentation production of alpha-
ketoglutaric acid and other products.
