Chitosanase plays an important role in the production of chitooligosaccharides (CHOS), which possess various biological activities. Herein, a glycoside hydrolase (GH) family 46 chitosanase-encoding gene, , was cloned from marine bacterium sp. BY01 and heterologously expressed in . The recombinant chitosanase, CsnB, was optimally active at 35 °C and pH 5.0. It was also revealed to be a cold-adapted enzyme, maintaining 39.5% and 40.4% of its maximum activity at 0 and 10 °C, respectively. Meanwhile, CsnB showed wide pH-stability within the range of pH 3.0 to 7.0. Then, an improved reaction condition was built to enhance its thermostability with a final glycerol volume concentration of 20%. Moreover, CsnB was determined to be an endo-type chitosanase, yielding chitosan disaccharides and trisaccharides as the main products. Overall, CsnB provides a new choice for enzymatic CHOS production.
壳聚糖酶在壳寡糖(CHOS)的生产中发挥着重要作用,壳寡糖具有多种生物活性。本文从海洋细菌 sp. BY01 中克隆了一个属于糖苷水解酶(GH)家族 46 的壳聚糖酶编码基因 ,并在 中异源表达。重组壳聚糖酶 CsnB 的最适活性温度为 35°C,最适 pH 值为 5.0。它还是一种耐冷酶,在 0°C 和 10°C 时分别保持其最大活性的 39.5%和 40.4%。同时,CsnB 在 pH 3.0 至 7.0 的范围内具有较宽的 pH 稳定性。然后,建立了一种改进的反应条件,最终甘油体积浓度为 20%,以提高其热稳定性。此外,CsnB 被确定为一种内切型壳聚糖酶,主要产物为壳聚糖二糖和三糖。总的来说,CsnB 为酶法 CHOS 生产提供了新的选择。
