Abstract
Lipase from Thermomyces dupontii (TDL) shows great potential to prepare long-medium-long structured lipids (LML-SLs), but its poor thermostability represents a significant obstacle to further industrial application. Herein, a rational design based on structure and sequence analysis (including disulfide bond calculation and sequence alignment) was used to generate a more thermostable mutant. Compared with wild-type TDL, mutant M3 displayed a 9.1-fold, 7.2 °C and 10 °C increase in half-life (t1/2) at 60 °C, the half-loss temperature (T 50) at 15 min and optimum temperature, respectively. Remarkably, the specific activity of mutant M3 was 49.1% higher than that of wild-type TDL. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations showed that the structural flexibility of mutant M3 was reduced, which might contribute to the enhanced thermostability. Additionally, LML-SLs were synthesized from ethyl linoleate and tricaprylin with wild-type TDL and mutant M3. Compared with the wild-type TDL group, the LML-SL content of the mutant M3 group increased by 8.1%. This study will pave the way for the industrial application of TDL and provide valuable insights for enhancing the thermostability of other lipases.
期刊介绍:
LWT - Food Science and Technology is an international journal that publishes innovative papers in the fields of food chemistry, biochemistry, microbiology, technology and nutrition. The work described should be innovative either in the approach or in the methods used. The significance of the results either for the science community or for the food industry must also be specified. Contributions written in English are welcomed in the form of review articles, short reviews, research papers, and research notes. Papers featuring animal trials and cell cultures are outside the scope of the journal and will not be considered for publication.
