The gene (choB(b)), encoding cholesterol oxidase from Brevibacterium sp. CCTCC M201008, was cloned and sequenced by PCR (GenBank accession number: DQ345780). The gene consists of 1653 base pairs and encodes a protein of 551 amino acids. ChoB(b) exhibited a homology of 98% with cholesterol oxidase gene from Brevibacterium sterolicum ATCC 21387. The cholesterol oxidase gene, cloned in the vector pET-28a, was over-expressed in Escherichia coli BL21-CodonPlus (DE3)-RP grown at 23 degrees C in Luria-Bertani medium containing 50 microM riboflavin, the precursor of the FAD coenzyme of the enzyme. A maximum activity of 3.7 U/mg was obtained from cell free extract of E. coli BL21-CodonPlus (DE3)-RP harboring the pET-28a-choB(b).
克隆并测序了来自短杆菌属CCTCC M201008的编码胆固醇氧化酶的基因(choB(b))(通过PCR技术,GenBank登录号:DQ345780)。该基因由1653个碱基对组成,编码一个含551个氨基酸的蛋白质。ChoB(b)与来自嗜固醇短杆菌ATCC 21387的胆固醇氧化酶基因具有98%的同源性。克隆到载体pET-28a中的胆固醇氧化酶基因,在含有50微摩尔核黄素(该酶FAD辅酶的前体)的Luria-Bertani培养基中,于23℃培养的大肠杆菌BL21-CodonPlus(DE3)-RP中实现了过量表达。从携带pET-28a-choB(b)的大肠杆菌BL21-CodonPlus(DE3)-RP的无细胞提取物中获得了最高活性为3.7 U/mg的酶。
