Abstract: Cloning and heterologous expression of amylase gene in the amylase-producing strain screened from soil were conducted and their enzymatic properties were analyzed. An amylase-producing strain was isolated and numbered MF-8-1,which was from the soil sample near the Anyang Flour Mill by using the solid starch screening medium. Then the amylase gene AmyL was cloned by corresponding primers with homology cloning. Further the recombinant plasmid of pET-22b-AmyL was constructed by ligating Amy and expression vector pET-22b(+),and transformed into expression host strain Escherichia coli BL21(DE3). Finally,the recombinant enzyme was isolated and purified and its enzymatic properties were determined. As results,AmyL was expressed successfully in E. coli BL21(DE3),and the molecular weight of recombinant enzyme AmyL was 55 kD. Recombinant enzyme presented maximum activity at pH 6.0 and 45℃. It had better temperature stability when the temperature was lower than 60℃. The enzyme was highly stable at pH 6.0-10.0. The kinetics studies of recombinant enzyme showed that the specific activity,Km and Vmax of the enzyme were 185.39 U/mg,0.95 mg/mL and 343.12 μmol/(min ·mg),respectively. AmyL is characterized by stable enzyme activity under medium temperature and alkalinity,thus it has potential application value in detergent,textile,paper making and other industries.
