Feruloyl esterases (FAEs) are key enzymes involved in the complete biodegradation of lignocelluloses, which could hydrolyze the ester bonds between hemicellulose and lignin. The coding sequence of a feruloyl esterase A (AtFaeA) was cloned from Aspergillus terreus and the recombinant AtFaeA was constitutively expressed in Pichia pastoris. The SDS-PAGE analysis of purified AtFaeA showed two protein bands owing to the different extent of glycosylation, and the recombinant AtFaeA had an optimum temperature of 50°C and an optimum pH of 5.0. The substrate utilization and primary sequence identity of AtFaeA demonstrated that it is a type-A feruloyl esterase. The hydrolysis of corn stalk and corncob by xylanase from Aspergillus niger could be significantly improved in concert with recombinant AfFaeA.
阿魏酸酯酶(FAEs)是参与木质纤维素完全生物降解的关键酶,它能够水解半纤维素和木质素之间的酯键。从土曲霉中克隆了阿魏酸酯酶A(AtFaeA)的编码序列,并在毕赤酵母中组成型表达重组AtFaeA。纯化后的AtFaeA经SDS-PAGE分析显示出两条蛋白带,这是由于糖基化程度不同所致,且重组AtFaeA的最适温度为50°C,最适pH为5.0。AtFaeA的底物利用情况和一级序列一致性表明它是一种A型阿魏酸酯酶。黑曲霉木聚糖酶对玉米秸秆和玉米芯的水解作用可与重组AfFaeA协同显著提高。
