Intein을 이용한 대장균에서의 Trichoderma reesei 유래의 Cellobiohydrolase I 섬유소 결합 도메인의 발현

Intein-mediated expression of Trichoderma reesei Cellobiohydrolase I Cellulose Binding Domain in E. coli

Cellulose binding domains (CBDs) of cellulases are thought to assist in the hydrolysis of insoluble crystalline cellulose. To gain sufficient amount of CBDs, the self-cleavable intein tag was used for expression and purification of Trichoderma reesei cellobiohydrolase I CBD in E. coli . Synthetic CBD genes, CBD or linker-CBD were cloned into expression vector pTYB11. Recombinant CBDs were successfully purified by intein mediated purification with an affinity chitin-binding domain. The final yields of recombinant CBD and linker-CBD were 3.2 mg/L and 1.4 mg/L, respectively. The functional bindings of recombinant CBDs were confirmed by Avicel binding experiments. The simple and easy purification method using self-cleavable intein tag can be further used in pretreatment of crystalline cellulose or characterization of engineered CBDs.
