Abstract  

The B.subtilis ywtD gene, encoding a γ-polyglutamic acid (γ-PGA) depolymerase, was amplified from the genome of B.subtilis NX-2 by PCR.The comparability between the cloned ywtD gene sequence to the reported sequence is high to 99.0%. Only one of the substituted nucleotide base caused the change to the amino acid sequence. The recombinant plasmid pET-15b-ywtD was then transformed into E. coli Rosetta (DE3) and the ywtD gene product could be expressed with the induction of 0.5mmol/L IPTG. The YwtD protein exhibited a remarkable activity in γ-polyglutamic acid degradation. The molecular weight of γ-PGA could be reduced from 700kDa to 20kDa after 72h through the enzymatic hydrolysis and consequently trended to be constant.
