Abstract:

Chemical modification is an important pathway to transform the catalytic activity and enzymological properties of enzymes. In order to improve the catalytic activity and enzymological stability of laccase from Trametes versicolor(EC 1.10.3.2, TvL), the enzyme was purified by DEAE 52 weak anion exchange resin chromatography. The pure enzyme was activated by NaIO4. The activated enzyme was chemically modified with chitooligosaccharides(COS, average relative molecular weight 5000). The optimal modification conditions by single factor and orthogonal experiments were: temperature 5 ℃, pH=4.0, 100 mg NaIO4, 20 mg COS. Under these conditions the activity of modified enzyme(COS-TvL, 456.00 U/mg) was 145.04% of that of unmodified enzyme(TvL, 314.39 U/mg). The results of SDS-PAGE experiments indicated that the relative molecular weights of 3 polypeptides of TvL were 58100, 45200 and 21600, respectively. But the relative molecular weights of 3 polypeptides of COS-TvL were 62900, 53300 and 39700, respectively. This meant that the modification experiments were successful. The amino modification rates changed from 0 of TvL to 30.7% of COS-TvL. The optimal pH values of TvL and COS-TvL were 4.0 and 3.5—4.0, respectively. The optimal temperatures of TvL and COS-TvL were 40 and 45 ℃, respectively. The results of kinetic study indicated that Km and vmax of TvL were 9.929 mmol/L and 714.29 mmol/(mg·min). But the Km and vmax of COS-TvL were 8.989 mmol/L and 1250 mmol/(mg·min), respectively. The infrared spectra, the ultraviolet absorption spectra, the ultraviolet differential spectra, and fluorescence emission spectra of TvL and COS-TvL were also studied and analyzed.
