The cgt gene encoding alpha-cyclodextrin glycosyltransferase (alpha-CGTase) from Paenibacillus macerans strain JFB05-01 was expressed in Escherichia coli as a C-terminal His-tagged protein. After 90h of induction, the activity of alpha-CGTase in the culture medium reached 22.5 U/mL, which was approximately 42-fold higher than that from the parent strain. The recombinant alpha-CGTase was purified to homogeneity through either nickel affinity chromatography or a combination of ion-exchange and hydrophobic interaction chromatography. Then, the purified enzyme was characterized in detail with respect to its cyclization activity. It is a monomer in solution. Its optimum reaction temperature is 45 degrees C, and half-lives are approximately 8h at 40 degrees C, 1.25h at 45 degrees C and 0.5h at 50 degrees C. The recombinant alpha-CGTase has an optimum pH of 5.5 with broad pH stability between pH 6 and 9.5. It is activated by Ca(2+), Ba(2+), and Zn(2+) in a concentration-dependent manner, while it is dramatically inhibited by Hg(2+). The kinetics of the alpha-CGTase-catalyzed cyclization reaction could be fairly well described by the Hill equation.
来自解淀粉芽孢杆菌 JFB05-01 的 cgt 基因编码的α-环糊精葡萄糖基转移酶(α-CGTase)在大肠杆菌中作为 C 端 His 标记蛋白表达。诱导 90 小时后,培养基中α-CGTase 的活性达到 22.5 U/mL,约比原始菌株高 42 倍。通过镍亲和层析或离子交换和疏水相互作用层析的组合,将重组α-CGTase 纯化为均一性。然后,详细研究了纯化酶的环化活性。它在溶液中是单体。其最适反应温度为 45°C,在 40°C 时半衰期约为 8h,在 45°C 时半衰期约为 1.25h,在 50°C 时半衰期约为 0.5h。重组α-CGTase 的最适 pH 为 5.5,在 pH 6 和 9.5 之间具有较宽的 pH 稳定性。它在浓度依赖性方式下被 Ca(2+)、Ba(2+)和 Zn(2+)激活,而被 Hg(2+)强烈抑制。α-CGTase 催化的环化反应的动力学可以用 Hill 方程很好地描述。
