Problems solved by technology

[0004] At present, the microorganisms that have been found to produce chitinase mainly include Paenibacillus barengoltzii, Marine Bacterium (Alteromonas sp.Strain 0-7), Streptomycesthermoviolaceus OPC-520 and Bacillus cereus, etc. However, the chitinase production of these wild strains is very low , only 0.83-1.13U / mL
[0005] At present, there have been studies trying to increase the expression of chitinase through heterologous expression, enzyme molecular modification and other technical means, for example, heterologous expression of chitinase gene in E. However, heterologous expression of chitinase gene in Escherichia coli is easy to form inclusion bodies; heterologous expression of chitinase gene in Escherichia coli and Pichia pastoris When extracting the chitinase gene, the chitinase is secreted intracellularly. Therefore, the extraction of the chitinase requires breaking the wall to cause loss of enzyme activity; the operation of heterologously expressing the chitinase gene in Pichia pastoris is complicated and the culture period is long; the method of random mutation Modifying the substrate-binding domain and catalytic domain of chitinase to improve the enzyme activity has the uncertainty of random mutation, therefore, it will lead to screening difficulties, and the above-mentioned technologies cannot be really applied to industrial production
[0006] Therefore, it is urgent to find a new method that can overcome the defects of low expression, easy formation of inclusion bodies, and loss of enzyme activity caused by wall breaking, and can greatly increase the expression of chitinase.

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for improving expression quantities of chitin enzymes, and belongs to the technical field of enzyme engineering and microorganism engineering. According to the method,genes of signal peptides NprB, AmyE, AprE, BglS, Bpr, Epr, LipA, Vpr, YweA or YclQ are fused to an N end of a chitin enzyme gene, a signal peptide gene of which is excised; and the chitin enzyme genefused with an exogenous peptide gene is expressed in an expression host so as to improve an expression quantity of the chitin enzyme. By fermenting recombinant bacteria obtained by utilizing the method for 12 hours, enzyme activity of chitin enzymes in fermented supernate can be improved to 20.62 U / mL (extracellular enzyme activity) and is about 15 times of wild strain fermentation.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for increasing the expression level of chitinase, which belongs to the technical field of enzyme engineering and microbial engineering. Background technique [0002] Chitinase (EC 3.2.1.14.), also known as chitinase, can catalyze the breakage of insoluble chitin sugar chain β-1,4 glycosidic bonds to generate water-soluble chitooligosaccharides. [0003] Because chitinase can be used as a biological control agent, it can also be used for protoplast separation, cytochemical localization and production of single-cell protein, so it has very important applications in agriculture and biotechnology; because the hydrolyzate of chitinase is almost Tetraoligosaccharides can improve the body's immunity, inhibit the growth of tumor cells, activate and proliferate bifidobacteria in the human intestine, antibacterial, antiseptic, and moisturizing. Therefore, it also has broad application prospects in industries such as medicine, fo...
