Abstract: The cellobiase gene(GenBank accession number:KP307454)was cloned by RT-PCR from high-yield cellulase Aspergillus nigerstrain C112 mutated by UV.The whole length of cellobiase was 2 934 bp containing non-coding sequence, and encoding 860 amino acids with the pI of 4.70.The homology of nucleotide sequence with Aspergillus niger(GenBank accession number:JX982101.1)reached 99%.Bioinformatics analysis showed that cellobiase was a hydrophilic, stable, and secreted protein;its secondary structure consisted of the structural elements of α-helix, β-folding and random coil.As expected, recombinant fusion protein was expressed after IPTG induction, and the relative molecular mass was approximately 93.3 kD by SDS-PAGE.The fused β-Glucosidase was expressed in Escherichia coli BL21.The enzyme activity of recombinant protein pNPGwas 5.847 U/mL, the optimal reaction temperature was 50℃, and the optimal reaction pH was 5.0.
