Expression of trehalose synthase and its application to produce trehalose / 海藻糖合成酶的基因表現及其應用於合成海藻糖

碩士 / 國立中正大學 / 化學工程所 / 97 / Trehalose synthase catalyzes the conversion of maltose to trehalose. Navigating NCBI web site we found that Pseudomonas putida F1 contains a trehalose synthase gene. The gene has a length of 2067 bp and encodes for trehalose synthase with 689 amino acids, corresponding to a molecular weight of 75.62KDa.

The trehalose synthase gene was amplified from chromosomal DNA of Pseudomonas putida F1 by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) with designed primers. The recombinant plasmid was constructed by inserting PCR amplified fragment into plasmid pHT08. The recombinant plasmid was transformed into E.coli BL21. The cultured recombinant E.coli cells could be induced to overexpression the target protein.

This enzyme can catalyze the formation of trehalose directly from maltose by the intramolecular rearrangement of the α-1,4 bond of maltose to the α,α-1,1 bond of the trehalose. Study on the enzyme properties revealed that optimal pH is 8.0 and the highest conversion yield could approach to 75.4% at 25℃.
