Ochratoxin A (OTA) is a potent mycotoxin that frequently contaminates agro-products and threatens food safety. A highly efficient OTA degrading strain Lysobacter sp. CW239 was isolated, and the OTA degradation characteristics were investigated. A novel OTA degrading gene carboxypeptidase cp4 was successfully cloned and characterized from CW239. The heterologous recombinant was constructed by gene cp4 and expression vector pET-32a⁽⁺⁾ and overexpressed by E. coli BL21 CodonPlus™ (DE3). The recombinant protein rCP4 was purified, and the OTA-degrading activity was evaluated. Although OTA was efficiently degraded by CW239 (24-h degradation ratio of 86.2%), the 24-h OTA degradation ratio for rCP4 was only 36.8% at fairly high concentration (0.25 mg/mL) protein. The degraded product was obtained by immune affinity column (IAC) and determined by mass spectrometry (MS), and the degraded product was the less toxic ochratoxin α (OTα). Based on the serial investigations of this study, OTA might be simultaneously co-degraded by CP4 and another unknown degrading agent in that degrading strain.
