ABSTRACT: Heterologous expression and purification of thermostable lipase from Geobacillus thermoleovorans PPD2 had been carried out through Escherichia coli BL21 as host. Two bands obtained showed lipolytic activity with the size at around 51 (LipA) and 43 (LipB) kDa, respectively. The activities were identified by zymogram analysis, while the control protein from Escherichia coli BL21(DE3) do not show any lipolytic activity. Purification of crude extract using chromatography affinity Ni-NTA resulted one dominant band of LipA, meanwhile LipB did not appeared on the gel. Another purification for LipB was carried out by acetone fractionation. Both of LipA and LipB showed high activity toward medium chain length substrates, with optimum activity at 50oC and pH 8.5. The activities of LipA and LipB showed tolerance toward short chain alcohols, such as methanol, ethanol, n-propanol, and isopropanol.

Nitrile hydratases (NHase) catalyze the hydration of nitriles to the corresponding amides. We report on the heterologous expression of various nitrile hydratases. Some of these enzymes have been investigated by others and us before, but sixteen target proteins represent novel sequences. Of 21 target sequences, 4 iron and 16 cobalt containing proteins were functionally expressed from Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3) Gold. Cell free extracts were used for activity profiling and basic characterization of the NHases using the typical NHase substrate methacrylonitrile. Co-type NHases are more tolerant to high pH than Fe-type NHases. A screening for activity on three structurally diverse nitriles was carried out. Two novel Co-dependent NHases from Afipia broomeae and Roseobacter sp. and a new Fe-type NHase from Gordonia hydrophobica were very well expressed and hydrated methacrylonitrile, pyrazine-carbonitrile, and 3-amino-3-(p-toluoyl)propanenitrile. The Co-dependent NHases from Caballeronia jiangsuensis and Microvirga lotononidis, as well as two Fe-dependent NHases from Pseudomonades, were—in addition—able to produce the amide from cinnamonitrile. Summarizing, seven so far uncharacterized NHases are described to be promising biocatalysts.

The H+proton-translocating inorganic pyrophosphatase (H+-PPase) family is composed of two phylogenetically distinct types of enzymes: K+-dependent and K+-independent. However, to date, the sequence criteria governing this dichotomy have remained unknown. In this study, we describe the heterologous expression and functional characterization of H+-PPase from the thermophilic bacteriumCarboxydothermus hydrogenoformans. Both PPi-hydrolyzing and PPi-energized H+translocation activities of the recombinant enzyme inEscherichia coliinner membrane vesicles are strictly K+-dependent. Here we deduce the K+requirement of all available H+-PPase sequences based on the K+dependence ofC. hydrogenoformansH+-PPase in conjunction with phylogenetic analyses. Our data reveal that K+-independent H+-PPases possess conserved Lys and Thr that are absent in K+-dependent H+-PPases. We further demonstrate that a A460K substitution inC. hydrogenoformansH+-PPase is sufficient to confer K+independence to both PPihydrolysis and PPi-energized H+translocation. In contrast, a A463T mutation does not affect the K+dependence of H+-PPase.
