Abstract

Lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) are a class of copper-dependent oxidases that are involved in the degradation of recalcitrant polysaccharides in biomass. Consequently, LPMOs have been widely used in the production of fuels and other value-added oligosaccharides from lignocellulose. In this study, a gene encoding LPMO from Myceliophthora thermophila C1 (MtC1LPMO) was expressed in Escherichia coli BL21(DE3). Firstly, the effect of signal peptides on the expression level of MtC1LPMO was studied. It was found that the fused MtC1LPMO with PelB signal peptide was secreted into the culture medium, increasing greatly the total content of soluble MtC1LPMO. To further improve the expression level of MtC1LPMO, the effects of induction time, inducer concentration, ethanol stress, induction incubation time and temperature on the productivity of the recombinant MtC1LPMO in E. coli BL21 were investigated. The highest yield of soluble MtC1LPMO was obtained by adding 0.5 mmol/L IPTG and 2% ethanol at a final concentration to the medium when OD600 reached 0.9 and further incubated at 30 ℃ for 16 h. The protein concentration of total soluble MtC1LPMO was 12.65 mg/L, which was 2.05 times of that before optimization. The extracellular ratio was 67.30% with the extracellular concentration of 8.51 mg/L. The specific activity of MtC1LPMO was 10.3 U/g using 2,6-dimethoxyphenol as the substrate at the standard condition.
