摘要
The gene encoding a thermostable glucoamylase from Talaromyces emersonii was cloned and, subsequently, heterologously expressed in Aspergillus niger. This glucoamylase gene encodes a 618 amino acid long protein with a calculated molecular weight of 62,827 Da. T. emersonii glucoamylase fall into glucoside hydrolase family 15, showing approximately 60%, sequence similarity to glucoamylase from A. niger. The expressed enzyme shows high specific activity towards maltose, isomaltose, and maltoheptaose, having 3-6-fold elevated k(cat) compared to A. niger glucoamylase. T emersonii glucoamylase showed significantly improved thermostability with a half life of 48 h at 65 degrees C in 30% (w/v) glucose, compared to 10 h for glucoamylase from A. niger. The ability of the glucoamylase to hydrolyse amylopectin at 65 degrees C is improved compared to A. niger glucoamylase, giving a significant higher final glucose yield at elevated temperatures. The increased thermal stability is thus reflected in the industrial performance, allowing T emersonii glucoamylase to operate at a temperature higher than the A. niger enzyme.
