The invention discloses a
cyclodextrin glycosyl transferase with improved
maltodextrin substrate specificity and a preparation method thereof and belongs to the fields of
genetic engineering and
enzyme engineering. According to the invention, for CGTase derived from peanibacillus macerans,
lysine at a 47th site,
tyrosine at a 89th site, asparaginate at a 94th site and
aspartic acid at a 196th site are respectively mutated into
leucine K47L,
phenylalanine Y89F, praline N94P and
tyrosine D196Y, so that AA-2G yields are respectively increased by 30.7%, 10.9%, 10.0% and 31.7%. Complex
mutation is carried out on the
mutant strains to obtain double mutants namely K47L / Y89F, K47L / N94P, K47L / D196Y, Y89F / N94P, Y89F / D196Y and N94P / D196Y, three-point mutants namely K47L / Y89F / N94P, K47L / Y89F / D196Y, K47L / N94P / D196Y and Y89F / N94P / D196Y and a four-
point mutant namely K47L / Y89F / N94P / D196Y. Yields of AA-2G produced by the mutants while
maltodextrin is utilized as a
glycosyl donor are respectively increased by 42.6%, 11.0%, 37.6%, 43.6%, 43.6%, 41.6%, 44.5%, 50.5%, 20.8%, 35.6% and 64.4%. Compared with the
wild type CGTase, the mutants is more beneficial to production of the AA-2G while the
maltodextrin is utilized as the
glycosyl donor.
