Abstract

A gene encoding thermostable cellulase B (TmCelB) was isolated from Thermotoga maritima. The open reading frame (ORF) of TmCelB gene was 825bp long which predicted to encode 274 amino acid residues with a molecular weight of 31,732 Da. The 17 amino acid residues from N-terminal of the TmCelB was known as signal peptides. To analyze the enzymatic activity and biochemical properties, the ORF of TmCelB gene excluding a putative signal sequence encoding 17 amino acids were introduced into the E. coli expression vector, pRSET-B, and overexpressed in E. coli BL21. The optimum temperature of recombinant TmCelB was around 95 ℃, and the optimum pH of recombinant TmCelB was around pH 4.5. The recombinant TmCelB was stable at temperature below 100 ℃.

Thermotoga maritima cellulose B 유전자의 The open reading frame (ORF)은 825 bp이고, cellulase B는 분자량이 약 31,732 kDa인 274개의 아미노산으로 구성되어 있다 이 중 N-말단의 17개 아미노산은 signal peptide로 추정된다. Signal peptide를 제외한 ORF를 pRSET 대장균 발현벡터에 삽입하여 pRBTmCelB를 제조하였다. 6-His tag을 포함하는 TmCelB 융합단백질의 cellulose 분해활성과 생화학적 특성을 분석하기 위해 pRBTmCelB를 대장균 BL21에서 과다발현하였고 순수분리하였다. TmCelB 융합단백질은 cellulose 분해활성을 나타내었고 이 있는 것으로 분석되었다. TmCelB 융합단백질은 약 95 ℃ 부근에서 가장 높은 효소 활성을 나타내었고, 100 ℃에서 최대 활성을 80% 이상 유지하는 것을 확인하였다. 또한 TmCelB 융합단백질은 약 pH 4.5 부근에서 최대 활성을 나타내었고, pH 4.0-6.0 범위에서 최대 활성을 60% 이상 유지하였다. TmCelB 융합단백질은 100 ℃에서 180분 후에도 효소활성을 80% 이상 유지하였다.
