Abstract

Since D-xylose is not fermentable in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, its conversion to D-xylulose is required for its application in biotechnological industries using S. cerevisiae. In order to convert D-xylose to D-xylulose by way of an enzyme immobilized system, D-xylose isomerase (XI) of Escherichia coli was fused with 10-arginine tag (R10) at its C-terminus for the simple purification and immobilization process using a cation exchanger. The fusion protein XIR10 was overexpressed in recombinant E. coli and purified to a high purity by a single step of cation exchange chromatography. The purified XIR10 was immobilized to a cation exchanger via the electrostatic interaction with the C-terminal 10-arginine tag. Both the free and immobilized XIR10 exhibited similar XI activities at various pH values and temperatures, indicating that the immobilization to the cation exchanger has a small effect on the enzymatic function of XIR10. Under optimized conditions for the immobilized XIR10, D-xylose was isomerized to D-xylulose with a conversion yield of 25%. Therefore, the results of this study clearly demonstrate that the electrostatic immobilization of XIR10 via the interaction between the 10-arginine tag and a cation exchanger is an applicable form of the conversion of D-xylose to D-xylulose.

D-Xylose는 Saccharomyces cerevisiae에서 기질로 이용될 수 없어 S. cerevisiae가 이용 가능한 D-xylulose로의 전환이 요구된다. 효소고정화 시스템을 통한 D-xylose로부터 D-xylulose로의 전환을 위해 대장균의 D-xylose 이성화효소(XI)의 카르복시 말단에 양이온 교환수지를 이용한 단순 정제 및 고정화가 가능하도록 10-arginine tag(R10)을 융합하였다. 융합단백질인 XIR10은 재조합 대장균에서 과잉발현되었고 단일 단계의 양이온 교환 크로마토그라피를 통하여 고순도로 정제되었다. 정제된 XIR10은 카르복시 말단의 10-arginine tag과의 정전기적 상호작용을 통하여 양이온 교환수지에 고정화되었다. 고정화 및 비고정화된 XIR10은 넓은 범위의 pH 및 온도에서 비슷한 D-xylose 이성화효소 활성을 보였다. 이 결과는 양이온 교환수지로의 고정화는 XIR10의 효소적 기능에 영향을 주지 않는다는 것을 나타낸다. 고정화된 XIR10의 최적화된 조건에서 D-xylose의 25%는 D-xylulose로 이성화되었다. 본 연구의 결과들은 10-arginine tag과 양이온 교환수지간의 상호작용을 통해 정전기적 고정화된 XIR10이 D-xylose로부터 D-xylulose로의 전환에 응용 가능하다는 것을 명확하게 보여주었다.
