Fusion of maltooligosaccharide-forming amylases from two origins for the improvement of maltopentaose synthesis
2021
Maltopentaose-forming amylases are promising enzymes for their ability to hydrolyze starch and produce functional maltooligosaccharides. Two maltopentaose-forming amylase genes from Bacillus megaterium (BmMFA) and Saccharophagus degradans (SdMFA) were expressed heterologously and their characteristics were analyzed. BmMFA has substantial thermostability and SdMFA owns superior product specificity. The carbohydrate-binding module of SdMFA was fused with BmMFA and the fused protein showed ideal enzymatic properties and displayed potential for industrial production of maltopentaose. Under the optimized conditions, the final product containing 47.41% maltopentaose was obtained with a conversion rate of 92.67% from starch. This study provides a novel strategy for the directed modification of MFAses through protein fusion approach.
