    • 摘要: α-半乳糖苷酶可特异性水解半乳寡糖、多糖及糖蛋白中的α-1,6-半乳糖苷键,因而广泛应用于食品工业、动物饲料和生物医药领域。为实现黑曲霉来源α-半乳糖苷酶在毕赤酵母中的异源高效分泌表达,以黑曲霉cDNA为模板,成功克隆并表达了去除信号肽的α-半乳糖苷酶aglC;通过基因剂量优化及共表达蛋白表达相关转录因子,显著提升了aglC在毕赤酵母中的表达水平,并对其酶学性质进行了测定。结果表明:该α-半乳糖苷酶可在毕赤酵母中实现分泌表达,初始菌株的酶活力为6.7 U/mL;重组酶的最适pH为6.0,最适反应温度为50 ° C;将aglC基因拷贝数增至6拷贝后,酶活力提升至26.0 U/mL,为单拷贝菌株的3.9倍;通过筛选蛋白表达相关转录因子,发现共表达HAC1可显著提高α-半乳糖苷酶产量,摇瓶发酵酶活力达41.3 U/mL; 6C-HAC1菌株经高密度发酵240 h后,上清液酶活力达到5083.8 U/mL。本研究构建了α-半乳糖苷酶毕赤酵母多拷贝表达菌株,有效提升了黑曲霉α-半乳糖苷酶的产量,为其在食品工业、动物饲料和生物医药等领域的应用奠定了基础。

       

      Abstract: α-Galactosidase can specifically hydrolyse α-1,6-galactosidic bonds in galactooligosaccharides, polysaccharides, and glycoproteins. This property enables its extensive application in the food industry, animal feed, and biomedicine sectors. In order to achieve efficient heterologous secretion and expression of α-galactosidase from Aspergillus niger in Pichia pastoris, the signal-peptide-deleted α-galactosidase gene aglC was successfully cloned and expressed using Aspergillus niger cDNA as the template. The expression level of aglC in Pichia pastoris was enhanced through gene dosage optimization and the addition of transcription factors associated with protein expression, followed by the determination of its enzymatic properties. Results showed that this α-galactosidase could be secreted in Pichia pastoris, with an initial enzyme activity of 6.7 U/mL. The recombinant enzyme exhibited optimal activity at pH 6.0 and 50°C. When the copy number of the aglC gene was increased to 6, the enzyme activity was elevated to 26.0 U/mL, which represented a 3.9-fold increase compared with that of single-copy fermentation. Screening of transcription factors related to protein expression revealed that co-expression of HAC1 significantly boosted the α-galactosidase yield, with 41.3 U/mL achieved in shake flask fermentation. For the 6C-HAC1 strain, an enzyme activity of 5083.8 U/mL was detected in the supernatant after 240 hours of high-density fermentation. This study established a multi-copy expression strain of α-galactosidase in Pichia pastoris, which effectively enhanced the yield of Aspergillus niger α-galactosidase. This achievement lays a foundation for the application of the enzyme in food processing, animal feed, and biopharmaceutical industries.
