Cloning, expression and improvement of catalytic activity of alginate lyase by site-directed mutation
Alginate lyase mainly produces active alginate oligosaccharides (AOS) by degrading alginate via β-elimination process. In this study, the Pseudoalteromonas sp. Alg6B alginate lyase-encoding gene alg6B-7 from polysaccharide lyase (PL)-7 family was successfully cloned, sequenced, expressed in Escherichia coli. Based on rational design and amino acid sequence alignment of the alginate lyase from various sources, four positive mutants were obtained. The specific enzyme activities of four mutants I62A, A99K, V132S, and L157T were 38.84%, 42.85%, 75.8% and 51.83% higher than that of the wild enzyme, respectively. The K cat/K m values of the four mutants were both increased, and the catalytic efficiency of V132S was 1.92-fold higher than that of the wild enzyme, especially. The rational design that was employed in this study achieved the dramatic improvement of catalytic activity, which may provide the application potential in industrial production.
