A novel α-amylase gene (TdAmyA) with an open reading frame of 1431 bp, deducing 476 amino acids, was cloned from the thermophilic fungus Thermomyces dupontii L18. The recombinant α-amylase was successfully over-expressed in Pichia pastoris. The highest α-amylase activity of 38,314 U/mL was obtained with protein content of 28.7 mg/mL after 168 h high-cell density fermentation. Molecular mass of purified TdAmyA was 61.2 kDa by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and 59.2 kDa by gel filtration. TdAmyA was a glycoprotein with 5.3% (w/w) of carbohydrate. TdAmyA exhibited maximal activity at 60 °C and pH 6.5, and was thermostable up to 55 °C within pH 4.5-10.0. It was more active towards linear starchy substrates than branched ones. The hydrolysis products were mainly comprised of maltose and maltotriose. TdAmyA produced the highest maltose content of 51.8% after 8 h hydrolysis. Thus, TdAmyA might be a candidate α-amylase for maltose syrup production.
从嗜热真菌Thermomyces dupontii L18 中克隆到一个新型的α-淀粉酶基因(TdAmyA),其开放阅读框为 1431bp,推断编码 476 个氨基酸。该重组α-淀粉酶在毕赤酵母中成功过表达。在 168 小时的高密度发酵后,获得了最高的 38314U/mL 的α-淀粉酶活性,蛋白含量为 28.7mg/mL。经十二烷基硫酸钠-聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳测定,纯化的 TdAmyA 的分子质量为 61.2kDa,凝胶过滤测定为 59.2kDa。TdAmyA 是一种糖蛋白,含有 5.3%(w/w)的碳水化合物。TdAmyA 的最适活性温度为 60°C,最适 pH 值为 6.5,在 pH 值 4.5-10.0 范围内可稳定至 55°C。它对直链淀粉底物的活性高于支链淀粉底物。水解产物主要由麦芽糖和麦芽三糖组成。经过 8 小时水解,TdAmyA 产生的麦芽糖含量最高,为 51.8%。因此,TdAmyA 可能是生产麦芽糖糖浆的候选α-淀粉酶。
