The invention discloses a method for immobilizing human source arginase-1 through surface display. The method comprises the steps of adding signal peptide and charged polypeptide to the amino terminal of a protein cleavage variant (InaK-N) formed on an ice core, fusing human source arginase-1 into the carboxyl terminal, and designing an HA label at the carboxyl terminal; constructing various recombinant plasmids to convert competent escherichia coli cells, so that different genetic engineering strains are obtained; conducting shake-flask culture on the strains; detecting the display efficiency and enzyme activity of human source arginase-1; selecting the strain with the highest enzyme activity for mass culture, conducting efficient L-arginine conversion, and synthesizing L-ornithine. Human source arginase-1 fused in the protein cleavage variant formed on the ice core is effectively displayed on the surface of an escherichia coli cell, so that human source arginase-1 is immobilized. Compared with an original ice core protein display system, the method has the advantage that the display efficiency and enzyme activity of human source arginase-1 are improved remarkably. Compared with a chitin immobilizing method, the method has the advantages that cost is reduced, process is shortened, and purification steps are simplified.
