Abstract

Candida (also known as Pseudozyma) antarctica lipase B (CAL-B) has been intensely studied in academic and industrial fields. However, the research related to its homologous enzymes has been rarely reported. In the current investigation, protein sequence similarity search of CAL-B has been conducted and six homologous protein sequences were identified. After the syntheses of their codon-optimized genes, the synthetic genes have been cloned into a periplasmic expression vector to express in Escherichia coli. Among six homologous sequences, four sequences were successfully expressed in E. coli. The hydrolytic activities of the expressed proteins towards 4-nitrophenyl acetate and 4-nitrophenyl butyrate were measured and compared with those of CAL-B to identify whether the expressed proteins work as a hydrolase. It has been revealed that the expressed proteins can hydrolyze the substrates and the specific activities were determined as $(1.3-30){\times}10^{-2}{\mu}mol/min/mg$, which are lower than those of CAL-B. Among these homologous enzymes, Pseudozyma hubeiensis SY62 exhibits the comparable enantioselectivity to that of CAL-B towards the hydrolysis of (${\pm}$)-1-phenylethyl acetate.

Candida (Pseudozyma로도 알려짐) antarctica lipase B(CAL-B)는 학문적으로 그리고 산업적으로 많이 활용되고 있다. CAL-B 자체에 대한 연구는 많이 진행되어온 반면, CAL-B 상동체에 관한 연구는 그리 알려진 바가 없다. 본 연구에서는 단백질 유사성 검색을 통해서 CAL-B의 상동체 탐색을 수행하였고, 6종의 단백질 서열을 찾았다. 해당하는 유전자들을 대장균에 대한 코돈 최적화를 수행하였고, 이를 바탕으로 유전자 합성을 진행하였다. 이들 유전자를 대장균 발현용 벡터에 클로닝한 후, 대장균 내에서 단백질 발현을 시도하여 이들 중 4종의 단백질이 성공적으로 발현되었다. 이들 단백질들이 가수분해 효소로서의 활성이 있는지 확인하기 위해서, 4-nitrophenyl acetate와 4-nitrophenyl butyrate를 반응기질로 하여 가수분해 반응성을 확인하였다. 이들 단백질들의 비활성(specific activity)값은 $(1.3-30){\times}10^{-2}{\mu}mol/min/mg$로 측정되었고, 이는 CAL-B의 비활성 수치보다는 다소 낮은 값에 해당하였다. (${\pm}$)-1-phenylethyl acetate의 가수분해 반응에 대한 입체선택성은 이들 상동체 효소들 중에서 Pseudozyma hubeiensis SY62에서 유래된 효소만이 CAL-B의 입체선택성과 유사함이 확인되었다.
