The lipolytic system of Bacillus megaterium 370 was investigated, showing the existence of at least two secreted lipases and a cell-bound esterase. A gene coding for an extracellular lipase was isolated and cloned in Escherichia coli. The cloned enzyme displayed high activity on short to medium chain length (C(4)-C(8)) substrates, and poor activity on C(18) substrates. On the basis of amino acid sequence homology, the cloned lipase was classified into subfamily I.4 of bacterial lipases.
对巨大芽孢杆菌370的脂解系统进行了研究,结果表明至少存在两种分泌型脂肪酶和一种细胞结合酯酶。分离出一个编码细胞外脂肪酶的基因,并将其克隆到大肠杆菌中。克隆的酶对短至中链长度(C(4)-C(8))的底物具有高活性,而对C(18)底物的活性较差。基于氨基酸序列同源性,克隆的脂肪酶被归类为细菌脂肪酶的I.4亚家族。
