Expression and Surface Display of an Acidic Cold-Active Chitosanase in Pichia pastoris Using Multi-Copy Expression and High-Density Cultivation

Chitosanase hydrolyzes β-(1,4)-linked glycosidic bonds are used in chitosan chains to release oligosaccharide mixtures. Here, we cloned and expressed a cold-adapted chitosanase (CDA, Genbank: MW094131) using multi-copy expression plasmids (CDA1/2/3/4) in . We identified elevated CDA expression level...

Description
Summary:Chitosanase hydrolyzes β-(1,4)-linked glycosidic bonds are used in chitosan chains to release oligosaccharide mixtures. Here, we cloned and expressed a cold-adapted chitosanase (CDA, Genbank: MW094131) using multi-copy expression plasmids (CDA1/2/3/4) in . We identified elevated CDA expression levels in multi-copy strains, with strain PCDA4 selected for high-density fermentation and enzyme-activity studies. The high-density fermentation approach generated a CDA yield of 20014.8 U/mL, with temperature and pH optimization experiments revealing the highest CDA activity at 20 °C and 5.0, respectively. CDA was stable at 10 °C and 20 °C. Thus, CDA could be used at low temperatures. CDA was then displayed on using multi-copy expression plasmids. Then, multi-copy strains were constructed and labelled as PCDA(1-3)-AGα1. Further studies showed that the expression of CDA(1-3)-AGα1 in multi-copy strains was increased, and that strain PCDA3-AGα1 was chosen for high-density fermentation and enzyme activity studies. By using a multi-copy expression and high-density fermentation approach, we observed CDA-AGα1 expression yields of 102415 U/g dry cell weight. These data showed that the displayed CDA exhibited improved thermostability and was more stable over wider temperature and pH ranges than free CDA. In addition, displayed CDA could be reused. Thus, the data showed that displaying enzymes on may have applications in industrial settings.
