Effect of K202A mutation in the thermostability of Penicillum expansum Lipase |
|
|
Abstract ep8, a thermostabilized mutant of Penicillum expansum lipase obtained in a previous study, contained a single amino acid substitution. To further improve the thermostability of the lipase, the Lys of wild-type (lip07) and mutant (ep8) in 202 were separately substituted by Ala using the Overlap extension PCR technique. The mutant genes (lip07-K202A and ep8-K202A) were subcloned into pAO815, and then transformed into the Pichia pastoris GS115 for extracelluar expression, separately. 15% SDS-PAGE analysis indicated that the molecular mass of PEL-ep8-K202A and PEL-lip07-K202A are both about 28KD, which are just the same with the wild-type lipase. The comparison experiments showed that: The Tm of PEL-ep8-K202A is 41.66℃,2.63℃ higher than that of the wild-type (39.03℃) and 1.21℃ higher than the random mutant(PEL-ep8:40.45℃); the Tm of single mutant (PEL-lip07-K202A) is 37.08℃, 2℃ lower than that of the wild-type lipase.
