Abstract:

Elastase was expressed in Pichia pastoris KM7 with the transformation of a recombinant plasmid pPIC3.5K/PAE encoding a full-length lasB gene of PAE (Pseudomonas aeruginosa elastase) under the induction of methanol. The optimal expression conditions were 1% methanol and 4 d induction. The best purification efficiency was achieved through DEAESepharose FF anion exchange chromatography. The optimal pH and temperature range for catalytic reaction of this elastase were 6.0 8.5 and 25 40 , respectively. Its activity was revealed an enhancement effect from Ca2+ and Mg2+, and an inhibition effect from Zn2+, Cd2+, Mn2+, Fe2+, Co2+, Cu2+ and EDTA.

Key words: elastase, induction, purification , enzymatic property
