Abstract
ABSTRACT This study aimed to investigate the effect of mutating the consensus pentapeptide on the enzymatic properties and structural characteristics of Bacillus licheniformis lipase. Site-directed mutagenesis was used to construct mutants and then expressed in Escherichia coli BL21. After purification and enzyme activity analysis, only A75C and A75G retained activity. Compared to the wild-type lipase and A75G, the A75C showed higher thermostability at 40°C and better alkali resistance in pH 9.0–10.0 after incubation for 1 h. The kinetic parameters, structural characteristics and surface hydrophobicity of the lipases were determined. The results indicated that the secondary structure was hardly changed, while mutants exhibited higher activity, thermostability and hydrophobicity. Finally, the reasons for the increased enzyme activity were conducted through molecular dynamics simulation. The strategy of mutating the first residue of the lipase consensus pentapeptide may provide new insights into the enzyme engineering for industrial applications.
期刊介绍:
Food Biotechnology is an international, peer-reviewed journal that is focused on current and emerging developments and applications of modern genetics, enzymatic, metabolic and systems-based biochemical processes in food and food-related biological systems. The goal is to help produce and improve foods, food ingredients, and functional foods at the processing stage and beyond agricultural production.
Other areas of strong interest are microbial and fermentation-based metabolic processing to improve foods, food microbiomes for health, metabolic basis for food ingredients with health benefits, molecular and metabolic approaches to functional foods, and biochemical processes for food waste remediation. In addition, articles addressing the topics of modern molecular, metabolic and biochemical approaches to improving food safety and quality are also published.
Researchers in agriculture, food science and nutrition, including food and biotechnology consultants around the world will benefit from the research published in Food Biotechnology. The published research and reviews can be utilized to further educational and research programs and may also be applied to food quality and value added processing challenges, which are continuously evolving and expanding based upon the peer reviewed research conducted and published in the journal.
