Abstract:
:A thermo-stable purified serine hydroxymethyltransferase (SHMT; 418 AA) was used for the carrier free immobilization using pectin as a coach molecule and formaldehyde as a cross-linker. The purified protein was cross linked with formaldehyde in the presence of pectin to form stable and active aggregates. The cross-linked enzyme aggregates [CLEAs] of SHMT showed improved catalytic properties and reusability. The SHMT-CLEAs showed a noteworthy change in the thermo-stability and activity compared to its free counterpart. The optimum activity for free SHMT was reported at 55 °C and pH 7.5 which SHMT CLEAs showed maximum activity at 60 °C and pH 8.0. Similarly, the CLEAs were noticed to increase the thermo-stability in comparison to free enzyme. The divalent salt ion Ca2+ and Ba2+ were found to enhance the activity at 1 and 5 mM of concentrations while Ni+, Co2+ and Zn2+ strongly inhibited the activity of both free as well as CLEAs. The Vmax and km values for free SHMT were recorded to be 1.21 μM s-1 and 272 μM while for CLEAs Vmax 1.42 μM s-1 and km 248.6 μM was recorded. Thus, a 120% increase in the Vmax was recorded for SHMT-CLEAs. The CLEAs were also found to be more stable at pH 6.5 and 8.5 pHs and retained 50% of its original activity for 180 and 200 min respectively. The CLEAs also retained 72% of its activity after 12 repetitive cycles of d-phenylserine hydrolysis. Also, the synthesized CLEAs retained more than 60% of its original activity after 10 days of incubation at 25 °C in comparison to free enzyme which loses more than 90% of its residual activity. Thus, with improved thermostability and activity the CLEAs of SHMT can be used repetitively at industrial scale for the synthesis of commercially important amino acids.
