Alkali-stable amylases offer potential for integrating textile desizing and scouring processes. To meet industrial requirements, molecular engineering strategies were employed to enhance oxidative stability and catalytic efficiency of alkaline amylase. In this study, alkali-stable amylase Amy I from was engineered by modifying multiple highly flexible regions. The sequential truncation of HFR I's N-terminal 40 residues yielded mutant T-40 with 77% higher residual activity than Amy I after incubation at 70 °C for 1 h. Saturation mutagenesis of HFR II/III generated mutant M4, showing 38.9% activity enhancement. CBM-25 substitution in HFR IV further increased activity by 7%. Finally, the integrated mutant Amy I-ML demonstrated exceptional performance with 14.5-fold higher specific activity and 29.6-fold extended half-life (29.4 min at 100 °C) compared to wild-type Amy I. These engineered features-combining thermostability reinforcement with catalytic optimization-establish Amy I-ML as a promising biocatalyst for industrial textile processing. The multiregion engineering approach provided a strategic framework for developing robust industrial enzymes through rational flexibility modulation.
碱稳定淀粉酶为整合纺织品退浆和精练工艺提供了潜力。为满足工业需求,采用分子工程策略来提高碱性淀粉酶的氧化稳定性和催化效率。在本研究中,通过修饰多个高柔性区域对来源于 的碱稳定淀粉酶Amy I进行了工程改造。HFR I的N端40个残基的顺序截短产生了突变体T-40,在70°C孵育1小时后,其残留活性比Amy I高77%。HFR II/III的饱和诱变产生了突变体M4,活性增强了38.9%。HFR IV中的CBM-25替换进一步使活性提高了7%。最后,整合突变体Amy I-ML表现出卓越的性能,与野生型Amy I相比,比活性高14.5倍,半衰期延长29.6倍(100°C下为29.4分钟)。这些工程特性——将热稳定性增强与催化优化相结合——使Amy I-ML成为工业纺织品加工中一种有前景的生物催化剂。多区域工程方法为通过合理的柔性调节开发强大的工业酶提供了一个战略框架。
