Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 4Gene Cloning, Heterologous Expression and Biochemical Characterization of a Novel Extracellular Lipase From Rhizopus Oryzae Ku45(National Institute of Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology, 2020) Arslanoğlu, Alper; Çil, ÇağlarBackground: Lipases secreted front various Rhizopus oryzae strains were previously expressed in Escherichia coli, Pichia pastoris, and Saccharomyces cerevisiae and was shown to have distinct activities in response to different temperatures, metal ions, organic solvents, and specific substrates. However, until now, no other research biochemically characterized the functions of extracellular pro-lipase in a novel Rhizopus oryzae KU45. Objectives: Characterization of a novel extracellular lipase front fungus R. orvzae KU45 after heterologous expression in E. coli BL21 (DE3) strain. Materials and Methods: An extracellular lipase producing fungus was isolated from a soil sample and identified as a strain of R. oryzae by partial 18S rRNA gene sequencing. It was named as R. oryzae KU45. The lipase gene of KU45 was cloned into pET-28a expression vector and expressed in E. coli as inclusion bodies. The recombinant lipase was purified, refolded and characterized. Results: The lipase exhibited maximum activity at 45 degrees C, at slightly alkaline pH. It showed a broad substrate specificity acting on p-nitrophenyl esters with C-8-C-16 acyl groups as substrates and, many of the organic solvents and metal ions tested did not have any adverse effects on the enzyme activity. Conclusions: High stability, broad substrate specificity and activity at mesophilic temperatures in the presence of organic solvents, and metal ions make the extracellular lipase of KU45 a candidate for various biotechnological applications.Article Citation - WoS: 27Citation - Scopus: 36Purification and Biochemical Characterization of an Extracellular Lipase From Psychrotolerant Pseudomonas Fluorescens Ke38(TUBITAK, 2013) Adan Gökbulut, Aysun; Arslanoğlu, AlperAn extracellular lipase producing bacterium was isolated from a soil sample, and identified as a strain of Pseudomonas fluorescens by 16S rRNA gene sequencing. It was named Pseudomonas fluorescens KE38. KE38 showed psychrotolerant properties with an optimum growth temperature of 25 °C. The lipase enzyme secreted by KE38 was purified 41.13-fold with an overall yield of 54.99%, and a specific activity of 337.3 U/mg. The molecular mass of purified lipase was estimated to be approximately 43 kDa by SDS-PAGE. Although the lipase was active at a temperature range of 15-65 °C, it exhibited maximum activity at 45 °C, at pH 8.0. The enzyme exhibited high stability retaining 100% and 70% of its activity after an incubation period of 45 and 100 min at 45 °C and pH 8.0 respectively. It also showed a broad substrate specificity acting on p-nitrophenyl esters with C8-C18 acyl groups as substrates and was activated by Ca2+ and Ni2+ at 1 mM. While the enzyme retained its activity levels in the presence of a variety of organic solvents, DMSO and dimethylformamide enhanced this. High stability, broad substrate specificity and activity at cold temperatures in the presence of organic solvents, and metal ions make the extracellular lipase of KE38 a candidate for industrial applications.
