Expression of a ?-mannosidase from Paenibacillus polymyxa A-8 in Escherichia coli and characterization of the recombinant enzyme.

ABSTRACT: Paenibacillus polymyxa A-8, which secretes ?-mannosidase, was isolated from the soil sample under a pine tree located in the "Laoban" mountain region of Sichuan, China. The ?-mannosidase gene (MANB) was isolated from P. polymyxa A-8, using primers according to the complete genome. The MANB (2,550 bp) encoding 849 amino acid residues was expressed in Escherichia coli. The specific activities of ?-mannosidase produced by P. polymyxa A-8 and E. coli pET30a-MANB were 12 nkat/mg and 635 nkat/mg respectively. SDS-PAGE analysis indicated that the molecular mass of the recombinant MANB was approximately 96 kDa. The recombinant MANB was active between pH 7.0-8.5 with the maximum activity at pH 7.0. It had good pH stability and adaptability. The MANB had the optimal temperature of 35°C and was relatively stable at 35-40°C. In addition, the MANB activity was enhanced by K+, Ca2+, Mn2+, and Mg2+ and inhibited by Zn2+, Cu2+, and Hg2+.

Project description:BackgroundMannans are one of the key polymers in hemicellulose, a major component of lignocellulose. The Mannan endo-1,4-beta-mannosidase or 1,4-beta-D-mannanase (EC 3.2.1.78), commonly named beta-mannanase, is an enzyme that can catalyze random hydrolysis of beta-1,4-mannosidic linkages in the main chain of mannans, glucomannans and galactomannans. The enzyme has found a number of applications in different industries, including food, feed, pharmaceutical, pulp/paper industries, as well as gas well stimulation and pretreatment of lignocellulosic biomass for the production of second generation biofuel. Bacillus licheniformis is a Gram-positive endospore-forming microorganism that is generally non-pathogenic and has been used extensively for large-scale industrial production of various enzymes; however, there has been no previous report on the cloning and expression of mannan endo-1,4-beta-mannosidase gene (manB) from B. licheniformis.ResultsThe mannan endo-1,4-beta-mannosidase gene (manB), commonly known as beta-mannanase, from Bacillus licheniformis strain DSM13 was cloned and overexpressed in Escherichia coli. The enzyme can be harvested from the cell lysate, periplasmic extract, or culture supernatant when using the pFLAG expression system. A total activity of approximately 50,000 units could be obtained from 1-l shake flask cultures. The recombinant enzyme was 6 x His-tagged at its C-terminus, and could be purified by one-step immobilized metal affinity chromatography (IMAC) to apparent homogeneity. The specific activity of the purified enzyme when using locust bean gum as substrate was 1672 +/- 96 units/mg. The optimal pH of the enzyme was between pH 6.0 - 7.0; whereas the optimal temperature was at 50 - 60 degrees C. The recombinant beta-mannanase was stable within pH 5 - 12 after incubation for 30 min at 50 degrees C, and within pH 6 - 9 after incubation at 50 degrees C for 24 h. The enzyme was stable at temperatures up to 50 degrees C with a half-life time of activity (tau1/2) of approximately 80 h at 50 degrees C and pH 6.0. Analysis of hydrolytic products by thin layer chromatography revealed that the main products from the bioconversion of locus bean gum and mannan were various manno-oligosaccharide products (M2 - M6) and mannose.ConclusionOur study demonstrates an efficient expression and secretion system for the production of a relatively thermo- and alkali-stable recombinant beta-mannanase from B. licheniformis strain DSM13, suitable for various biotechnological applications.
