Heterologous Expression of a Thermostable β-1,3-Galactosidase and Its Potential in Synthesis of Galactooligosaccharides

A thermostable &#946;-1,3-galactosidase from <i>Marinomonas</i> sp. BSi20414 was successfully heterologously expressed in <i>Escherichia coli</i> BL21 (DE3), with optimum over-expression conditions as follows: the recombinant cells were induced by adding 0.1 mM of IPTG to...

The recombinant enzyme &#946;-1,3-galactosidase (rMaBGA) was further purified to electrophoretic purity by immobilized metal affinity chromatography and size exclusion chromatography.

The optimum temperature and pH of rMaBGA were determined as 60 &#176;C and 6.0, respectively, resembling with its wild-type counterpart, wild type (wt)MaBGA. However, rMaBGA and wtMaBGA displayed different thermal stability and steady-state kinetics, although they share identical primary structures. It is postulated that the stability of the enzyme was altered by heterologous expression with the absence of post-translational modifications such as glycosylation, as well as the steady-state kinetics. To evaluate the potential of the enzyme in synthesis of galactooligosaccharides (GOS), the purified recombinant enzyme was employed to catalyze the transgalactosylation reaction at the lab scale.

The results indicated that the recombinant enzyme would be a promising alternative for biosynthesis of GOS mainly with &#946;-1,3 linkage.https://www.mdpi.com/1660-3397/16/11/415β-galactosidaserecombinantthermostabletransglycosylationgalactooligosaccharides<i>Marinomonas</i>
