Abstract

A hyperthermophilic glucose isomerase from Thermotoga petrophila RKU-1 (TPGI) was screened by genome mining from NCBI database. The gene of TPGI was synthesized and expressed as a soluble protein in E. coli BL21 (DE3). The recombinant enzyme was purified by Ni-NTA affinity chromatography. The SDS-PAGE analysis of the purified TPGI revealed a single band with a molecular weight of around 50.8 kDa. The specific activity of the recombinant TPGI to D -
glucose was 19.8 U/mg. The enzyme exhibited its maximum activity at 85 ℃, pH 7.0 and showed significant dependence on Co2+. The Km and Vmax to substrate D-glucose were 373 mmol/L and 13.4 U/ mg, respectively. The yield of D-fructose reached 53.8% and the isomerization gradually maintained
equilibrium after 4 h under the optimum conditions.
