A putative gene (gadlbhye1) encoding glutamate decarboxylase (GAD) was cloned from Lactobacillus brevis HYE1 isolated from kimchi, a traditional Korean fermented vegetable. The amino acid sequences of GADLbHYE1 showed 48% homology with the GadA family and 99% identity with the GadB family from L. brevis. The cloned GADLbHYE1 was functionally expressed in Escherichia coli using inducible expression vectors. The expressed recombinant GADLbHYE1 was successfully purified by Ni-NTA affinity chromatography, and had a molecular mass of 54 kDa with optimal hydrolysis activity at 55 °C and pH 4.0. Its thermal stability was determined to be higher than that of other GADs from L. brevis, based on its melting temperature (75.18 °C). Kinetic parameters including K and V values for GADLbHYE1 were 4.99 mmol/L and 0.224 mmol/L/min, respectively. In addition, the production of gamma-aminobutyric acid in E. coli BL21 harboring gadlbhye1/pET28a was increased by adding pyridoxine as a cheaper coenzyme.
从泡菜(一种传统的韩国发酵蔬菜)中分离出的短乳杆菌 HYE1 中克隆出了一种谷氨酸脱羧酶(GAD)的假定基因(gadlbhye1)。GADLbHYE1 的氨基酸序列与 GadA 家族有 48%的同源性,与短乳杆菌的 GadB 家族有 99%的同一性。该克隆的 GADLbHYE1 可通过诱导表达载体在大肠杆菌中功能性表达。表达的重组 GADLbHYE1 可通过 Ni-NTA 亲和层析成功纯化,其分子量为 54 kDa,最适水解活性为 55°C 和 pH 4.0。根据其熔点(75.18°C),其热稳定性被确定高于其他来自短乳杆菌的 GAD。动力学参数包括 GADLbHYE1 的 K 和 V 值,分别为 4.99 mmol/L 和 0.224 mmol/L/min。此外,在携带 gadlbhye1/pET28a 的大肠杆菌 BL21 中添加便宜的辅酶吡哆醇可提高 γ-氨基丁酸的产量。
