The invention relates to exoinulinase Z2-5 with low-temperature activity and a
gene of the exoinulinase Z2-5. An
amino acid sequence of the exoinulinase Z2-5 from
sphingobacterium sp. is shown as SEQIDNO.1. The invention provides the
gene Z2-5 encoded with the exoinulinase, and a recombinant vector and a recombinant strain of the exoinulinase
gene Z2-5. The exoinulinase has the properties that the optimum pH value is 7; after the exoinulinase is treated by a 0.1 M
buffer solution of which the pH value is 9.0 at
room temperature for 1 hour, the activity of the exoinulinase also can be kept at over 30 percent; the optimum temperature is 40 DEG C, the
enzyme activity of the exoinulinase is about 40 percent at the temperature of 10 DEG C and 50 DEG C, and the
enzyme activity of the exoinulinase is about 10 percent at the temperature of below 0 DEG C; after the exoinulinase is treated at the temperature of 50 DEG C for 1 hour, the
enzyme activity of exoinulinase also can be kept at over 30percent; and substrates of
cane sugar, fructosan and the like can be hydrolyzed, so the exoinulinase belongs to the reaction selectivity of the
hydrolysis of a
fructose glycosidic bond. By the exoinulinase Z2-5, synanthrin can be hydrolyzed to prepare
high fructose corn syrup, so the exoinulinase Z2-5 is used for
food industry.
