Resumo
A glucoamilase é uma enzima importante na produção enzimática de xarope de glicose a partir do amido. Neste processo o amido é primeiramente dextrinizado pela ação da a-amilase a aproximadamente 100°C. Em seguida, a suspensão de dextrinas é resfriada a uma temperatura próxima de 55°C para a sacarificação, pela ação da glucoamilase. A característica de alta termoestabilidade para essa enzima é fundamental para agilizar o processo e reduzir custos operacionais. O presente estudo visou à obtenção, caracterização físico-química, bem como a cinética de termoinativação das glucoamilases mutantes de Aspergillus awamori expressa em Saccharomyces cerevisiae. O gene da glucoamilase sofreu alterações através da técnica de PCR mutagênico, e os clones expressando glucoamilases mais termoestáveis foram selecionados e avaliados. A glucoamilase selvagem apresentou temperatura ótima de atividade a 58°C, as enzimas mutantes apresentaram atividades ótimas a 68°C para a linhagem M1, e 65°C para a linhagem M2. As glucoamilases mutantes M1 e M2 também apresentaram maior termoestabilidade que a enzima selvagem. As temperaturas de desnaturação térmicas na ausência de substrato por 1 hora foram 45, 50 e 55°C para as enzimas, selvagem, M1 e M2, respectivamente. Todas as enzimas apresentaram atividade ótima no pH 3,5 - 4,0, sendo que os mutantes M1 e M2 também exibiram maior estabilidade à variação de pH, retendo acima de 80% da atividade na faixa de pH 5,5 a 10,0. A meia vida (t1/2) a 70°C foi de 8,1 minutos para a glucoamilase mutante M2, 3,8 minutos para o mutante M1 e 3 minutos para a glucoamilase selvagem. A termoinativação das enzimas seguiram uma cinética de primeira ordem. A energia de desnaturação foi de 262,8 e 252,9 KJ mol-1 para os mutantes M2 e M1 respectivamente, e de 234,3 KJ mol-1 para...
Glucoamylase is an important enzyme for the production of glucose syrup made from starch. In this process, starch is initially dextrinized by the action of a a-amylase at approximately 100ºC. Secondly, the dextrins suspension is cooled down to a temperature near 55ºC for the saccharification, by the action of an glucoamylase. High thermostability is a fundamental characteristic for this enzyme to accelerate the process and to reduce operational costs. This work had the purpose of studying physicochemical characteristics as well as thermoinactivation kinetics of mutants glucoamylases of Aspergillus awamori expressed in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Glucoamylases gene was modified through mutagenic PCR technique and the clones which produced more thermostable glucoamylases were selected and evaluated. The wild glucoamilase exhibited optimum temperature at 58ºC, the mutants from strain M1 and M2 acted optimally at 68ºC and 65ºC, respectively. The mutants M1 and M2 also exhibited higher thermostability when compared to the wild enzyme. Thermic denaturation temperatures in the absence of substrate for 1 hour were 45, 50 and 55ºC for the wild, M1 and M2 enzymes, respectively. All enzymes showed optimum activity at pH 3.5 4.0, and the mutants M1 and M2 also exhibited higher stability towards pH variation, maintaining 80% of activity in pH from 5.5 to 10.0. Half life (t1/2) at 70ºC was 8.1 minutes for mutant M2, 3.8 minutes for mutant M1 and 3 minutes for wild glucoamylase. The enzymes thermoinactivation followed a first order kinetics. Denaturation energy was 262.8 and 252.9 KJ mol-1 for mutants M2 and M1 respectively, and 234.3 KJ mol-1 for the wild enzyme. Thermodynamic parameter of thermoinactivation, .G was lower for wild glucoamylase showing a higher denaturation for the enzyme. All enzymes revealed similar activity profile on different substrates, of which corn starch was the best substrate for hydrolysis for all glucoamylases tested.
