Expression optimization of recombinant cholesterol oxidase in Escherichia coli and its purification and characterization

خلاصه انگلیسی

Cholesterol oxidase is a bacterial flavoenzyme which catalyzes oxidation and isomerization of cholesterol. This enzyme has a great commercial value because of its wide applications in cholesterol analysis of clinical samples, synthesis of steroid-derived drugs, food industries, and potentially insecticidal activity. Accordingly, development of an efficient protocol for overexpression of cholesterol oxidase can be very valuable and beneficial. In this study, expression optimization of cholesterol oxidase from Streptomyces sp. SA-COO was investigated in Escherichia coli host strains. Various parameters that may influence the yield of a recombinant enzyme were evaluated individually. The optimal host strain, culture media, induction time, Isopropyl ß-D-1-thiogalactopyranoside concentration, as well as post-induction incubation time and temperature were determined in a shaking flask mode. Applying the optimized protocol, the production of recombinant cholesterol oxidase was significantly enhanced from 3.2 to 158 U/L. Under the optimized condition, the enzyme was produced on a large-scale, and highly expressed cholesterol oxidase was purified from cell lysate by column nickel affinity chromatography. Km and Vmax values of the purified enzyme for cholesterol were estimated using Lineweaver-Burk plot. Further, the optimum pH and optimum temperature for the enzyme activity were also determined. We report a straightforward and easy protocol for cholesterol oxidase production which can be performed in any laboratory.
