Abstract
12
Currently, commercial plant peroxidases are all native and are isolated from plants such as
13
horseradish and soybean. No recombinant plant peroxidase products have been available on the
14
commercial market. The gene encoding peroxidase was cloned from windmill palm tree leaves.
15
The codon-optimized gene was transformed into Pichia pastoris for expression. The recombinant
16
windmill palm tree peroxidase (rWPTP) expressed by P. pastoris showed high stability under pH
17
2-10, temperature up to 70 °C, to many metallic salts and organic solvents. The substrate
18
specificity of WPTP was determined, and among the substrates tested, 2, 2′-azino-bis (3-
19
ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) was most suitable for WPTP. The Michaelis
20
constants with the substrates H2O2 and ABTS were 4.6 x 10-4 M and 1.6 x 10-4 M, respectively.
21
The rWPTP expressed in P. pastoris may be a suitable enzyme for biosynthesis of polymers
22
because of its high stability and activity under acidic conditions.

INTRODUCTION
27
Peroxidases are enzymes that catalyze various redox reactions and are thus potentially
28
useful for industrial and biomedical applications. Peroxidase can be used in wastewater and
29
agricultural waste treatment, chemiluminescence assays, enzyme electrodes, organic and
30
polymeric molecule synthesis and as a therapeutic agent.1-5 Palm tree peroxidases are
31
constitutive, soluble enzymes that contain glycan groups covalently bound to several asparagine
32
side-chains of a single polypeptide chain with about 300 amino acid residues. Palm peroxidases
33
showed very high tolerance to elevated temperatures, extreme acidic and basic pH (a broad range 2

of pH values) and high concentrations of hydrogen peroxide.6-9
35
Native windmill palm tree peroxidase (WPTP) was isolated from leaves of the palm tree
36
Trachycarpus fortunei. Native WPTP had a molecular mass of approximately 50 kDa and an
37
isoelectric point of 3.5.10 The complete amino acid sequence and detailed glycosylation of native
38
WPTP were recently determined by Baker et al.11, 12 Enzymes isolated directly from palm tree
39
tissues are normally composed by a variety of isoenzymes, which is an impediment to fully study
40
the structure and function.
41
Peroxidase can be used in bioremediation,13, 14 and as destructors for lignin degradation,15 as
42
reporter for food processing and diagnostic reagents,16, 17 and as catalysts for the synthesis of
43
polymers, such as polyaniline.18-20 It is therefore important to obtain a large amount of single
44
component enzyme by gene cloning and protein expression with microorganisms, which
45
provides a new resource to study the stability and catalytic mechanisms as well as an economical
46
production of unique peroxidase. Mature native WPTP is a highly glycosylated (glycan content
47
21-29%)11 and heme-containing protein which multiplies the difficulty in expression. The native
48
WPTP contains two Ca2+ centers per molecule as most plant peroxidases.21, 22 Ca2+ is required to
49
maintain the structural integrity of the heme in peroxidase. Ca2+ cations are important for both
50
the catalytic activity and thermal stability of the enzyme.23
51
Pichia pastoris is a methylotrophic yeast capable of metabolizing methanol as its sole
52
carbon source. P. pastoris is as easy to manipulate as Escherichia coli or Saccharomyces
53
cerevisiae, and is faster, easier, and less expensive to use than other eukaryotic expression
54
systems and to produce foreign proteins at high levels, either intracellularly or extracellularly.24
55
P. pastoris has several advantages over E. coli as an expression system which does not produce
56
inclusion bodies and it promotes the correct folding of eukaryotic proteins. In addition,
3

57
hyperglycosylation can interfere with protein folding. Glycoproteins expressed by P. pastoris
58
have less mannose residues. The genetic traits of P. pastoris expression system are stable. The
59
exogenous gene is integrated into the chromosome of P. pastoris. The exogenous gene is not
60
easily lost because it is replicated with P. pastoris chromosome replication. Moreover, the
61
genetic background of P. pastoris is clear, which is easy for genetic manipulations. Therefore, P.
62
pastoris is suitable for expression of proteins25, including different peroxidases.26-29
63
In the present study, the EasySelectTM Pichia expression kit with AOX1 promoter and α-
64
factor secretion signal peptide were used for expression of WPTP. AOX1 is the strongest and
65
strictest promotor in P. pastoris. AOX1 is an inducible promoter, which is strongly induced by
66
methanol. The WPTP gene sequence (ca. 1 kb) was obtained with the rapid-amplification of
67
cDNA ends (RACE) techniue.11 WPTP was suitable for expression in P. pastoris after codon
68
optimization. The codons for the full length sequence of WPTP gene were optimized and were
69
designed with a histidine tag followed by a flexible sequence at the C-terminal. The recombinant
70
WPTP (rWPTP) was then purified to characterize its properties.
71 72 73
MATERIALS AND METHODS Strains, plasmids and media. Gene sequence of WPTP was optimized by OptimumGeneTM
74
(GenScript, the Biology CRO, Piscataway, NJ). The strain for expression was P. pastoris GS115
75
(his4) with PICZαA as a vector (Invitrogen, Waltham, MA). Yeast extract-peptone dextrose
76
medium (YPD), YPD (+Zeocin), buffered glycerol-complex medium (BMGY) and buffered
77
methanol-complex medium (BMMY) were prepared according to Pichia media recipes
78
(EasySelectTM Pichia expression kit). BMGY and BMMY per liter contained 1% yeast extract,
79
2% peptone, 100 mM potassium phosphate (pH 6.0), 0.4 ppm biotin, 1.34% yeast nitrogen base,

1% glycerol (BMGY) or 0.5% methanol (BMMY). DNA polymerase, T4 DNA ligase and
81
restriction enzymes were purchased from New England BioLabs (Ipswich, MA).
82
Cloning and sequence analysis of the WPTP gene. The WPTP gene was amplified with
83
the primer pair (W-F-Xho I, W-R-Xba I-1/2) by PCR under the conditions: pre-denaturation at
84
98 ℃ for 30 s; 5 cycles at 98 °C for 10 s, 55 °C for 15 s, and 72 °C for 30 s; 5 cycles at 98 °C for
85
10 s, 50 °C for 15 s, and 72 °C for 30 s; 25 cycles at 98 °C for 10 s, 45 °C for 15 s, and 72 °C for
86
30 s; followed by a final extension at 72 °C for 5 min. The PCR product was ligated with
87
pPICZαA and then cloned into E. coli.

92
Transformation of Pichia pastoris. The plasmid was extracted from E. coli colonies with
93
the antibiotic zeocin (25 µg/ml), linearized, and then electro-transformed into P. pastoris GS115
94
with a gene pulser II (BioRad, Hercules, CA). According to the manufacturer’s protocol, the
95
parameters were 1,500 V, 200 Ω, and 25 µF using a 0.2 cm cuvette. Transformants were selected
96
on YPDS (supplemented with zeocin) plates after incubation for 3 d at 30 °C.
97
Expression and purification. The transformants were selected for expression based on
98
recombinant WPTP activity. The selected colony was inoculated into a 1-L baffled flask
99
containing 200 mL of BMGY and cultured at 28 °C until the optical density of the culture
100
reached 2–6 at 600 nm. The cells were harvested by centrifuging at 2000x g for 5 min at room
101
temperature. After the supernatant was discarded, the cell pellet was resuspended in BMMY
102
medium to an OD600 of 1.0, followed by addition of 0.5% (v/v) methanol every 24 h to induce 5

103
rWPTP expression. Aliquots of the cultures were harvested every 24 h and peroxidase activity
104
was determined. The expressed rWPTP was centrifuged at 2000x g for 15 min. The target protein
105
was then purified by Ni2+ column chromatography (Ni-NTA agarose, Qiagen, Valencia, CA).
106
After column purification, the eluent was successively applied into 15-mL and 0.5-mL
107
centrifugal filter devices (30 K, Amicon® Ultra, EMD Millipore, Billerica, MA) for further
108
concentration. The purified rWPTP was monitored by Reinheitszahl (RZ) values which were
109
calculated as a ratio of absorbance at 403 nm and 275 nm (A403/A275).
110
Enzyme assay. The activity of rWPTP was determined spectrophotometrically with ABTS
111
as a substrate. An aliquot (0.5 µL) of enzyme solution, which the concentration was 3.6*10-6 M,
112
was added into 200 µL of 10 mM citric acid-Na2HPO4 buffer (pH 3.0) containing 0.1 mM ABTS
113
and 2 mM H2O2. The absorbance was measured at 405 nm at room temperature. One unit of
114
peroxidase activity was defined as the amount of peroxidase oxidizing 1 µmole of the substrate
115
in one minute. Specific activity was expressed as activity units per milligram of protein
116
(unit/mg).
117
Sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). The purified
118
rWPTP was analyzed by SDS-PAGE, which was performed with a 3.75% stacking gel and 12%
119
running gel on a mini protean apparatus (BioRad). The gel was run at 80 V for 15 min and then
120
120 V until the loading dye near the bottom of the gel. The protein gel was stained with
121
Coomassie Brilliant Blue R-250. The molecular weight of rWPTP was estimated with protein
122
standard markers (Precision plus protein dual xltra standards, 250 KD, BioRad).

126
rWPTP was digested for LC-MS/MS analysis. The SDS-PAGE band containing rWPTP was
127
reduced with 10 mM of dithiothreitol for 30 min at 56 °C and then alkylated with 27.5 mM of
128
iodoacetamide for 20 min at room temperature in the dark. The reduced and alkylated rWPTP
129
was digested with 0.8 µg of trypsin or chymotrypsin in 25 mM of NH4HCO3 at 37 °C for 12 h.
130
Peptides were dried via SpeedVac and resuspended in 5% acetonitrile with 0.1% trifluoroacetic
131
acid (TFA). The tryptic digests were desalted by ZipTip pipette tips (C18, 10 µL, Millipore,
132
Billerica, MA) prior to LC-MS/MS analysis. The ZipTip was first conditioned with 10 µL of
133
100% acetonitrile and then equilibrated with 10 µL of 1% formic acid. The tryptic digests were
134
loaded onto a ZipTip pipette tip, followed by washing with 10 µL of 1% formic acid. The
135
column run-through was discarded. The tryptic peptides were eluted from the ZipTip with the
136
elution solution (a mixture of 60% acetonitrile and 1% formic acid). The eluents were dried with
137
a speed-vacuum concentrator (Vacufuge concentrator 5305, Eppendorf, USA) for 10 min. To the
138
dried residues were added 50 µL of solution containing 0.1% formic acid and 5% acetonitrile.
139
After sonication for 10 min, the solution was centrifuged at 4000x g for 1 min and then used for
140
LC-MS/MS analysis.
141
Tryptic and chymotryptic digests of rWPTP were separated on a Michrom Advance nanoLC
142
system (Bruker Daltonics, Fremont, CA) equipped with a C18 nano-column (Michrom Magic
143
C18AQ, 100 µm × 150 mm, 3 µm, 200 Å). Linear gradient elution was performed from 2% to
144
95% acetonitrile in water with 0.1% formic acid, at a flow rate of 500 nL/min for 57 min.
145
MS/MS analysis was performed on a maXis Impact QTOF mass spectrometer (Bruker). MS and
146
MS/MS scans in the range of 50–3000 m/z were acquired in positive ion mode. The top 5
147
precursor ions were selected for further fragmentation. The absolute and relative thresholds of
148
precursor were set at 1000 and 5%. Exclusion was active after 3 spectra and the excluded spectra

149
were released after 0.2 min. Line spectral data were then processed into peak lists by Bruker
150
DataAnalysis 4.1, wherein spectra were deconvoluted and the peak lists were exported as Mascot
151
Generic Files (MGF). A database search was conducted with Mascot 2.10 (Matrix Science,
152
Boston, MA). The database was established in the laboratory.12 The database was searched at a
153
peptide tolerance of 50.0 ppm and MS/MS tolerance of 0.1 Da. Oxidation of methionine was
154
allowed as a variable modification and carbamidomethylation of cysteine was set as a global
155
modification. We also used a peptide MOWSE score of 25 as a cut-off that was calculated by
156
Mascot.
157
Determination of catalytic constant values. The catalytic efficiency of rWPTP was
158
determined via the Lineweaver-Burk plotting method of the “Bi-Bi ping-pong” mechanism. The
159
Michaelis constants with the two substrates, ABTS and H2O2 were determined under varying
160
concentrations of ABTS in the range of 0.02-10 mM in 10 mM citrate phosphate buffer and H2O2
161
in the range of 0.05-10 mM. The required H2O2 solution used in this study was prepared daily.
162
Determination of substrate specificity. The substrate specificity of rWPTP was
163
determined under the conditions (optimum pH, concentrations of H2O2 and different substrates,
164
and buffer concentration) optimized previously for palm peroxidases.4, 10
165
Effect of pH on enzyme activity and stability. The optimum pH for rWPTP activity was
166
determined within a pH range of 1.0-12.0 using 10 mM citrate phosphate buffer (pH 2.0-8.0),
167
and 10 mM Na2CO3/NaHCO3 (pH 9.0-12.0). The pH 2 buffer was adjusted with HCl to obtain
168
the pH 1 buffer for assay. The effect of pH on WPTP stability was determined by analyzing
169
residual WPTP activity after incubation of the WPTP in the aforementioned buffers in the
170
absence of the substrate ABTS at 4 °C for 24 h.
171
Effect of temperature on enzyme stability. Thermal stability of rWPTP was evaluated via 8

172
the assessment of residual activity after incubation of rWPTP in 10 mM citrate phosphate buffer
173
(pH 6.0) at different temperatures (20-90 °C) for 1 h.
174
Tolerance of rWPTP to metallic ions, denaturants and organic solvents. rWPTP activity
175
was determined with ABTS reaction mixture (10 mM Tris-HCl) in the presence of various metal
176
cations (Mg2+, Cu2+, Fe2+, Ca2+, Al3+, Mn2+, Zn2+, Fe3+, Na+, K+, and Co2+), denaturants [citric
177
acid, SDS, EDTA, urea, and guanidine hydrochloride (Gu-HCl)], and organic solvents
178
(methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, glycol, and DMSO) at a concentration of 5 mM, 20% and 20%,
179
respectively. It is noteworthy that citric acid was grouped into denaturants because of the high
180
concentrations tested. The remaining activity was measured and expressed as a percentage of the
181
rWPTP activity in solutions without the added metal ions, denaturants or organic solvents.
182 183
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
184
Expression and purification of rWPTP. After incubation of rWPTP transformants for 3 days,
185
the white colonies were selected for mini-scale expression to determine the best strains for scale-
186
up expression in a 1-L flask. After expression of rWPTP in P. pastoris for 3 days, the expressed
187
rWPTP was centrifuged at 2000x g for 15 min. The target enzyme was purified with Ni-NTA
188
resin column chromatography using the 15-mL and 1.5-mL centrifugal filter devices. The yield
189
of rWPTP after each purification step was summarized in Table 1. After Ni-NTA resin column
190
chromatographic purification, 58% of WPTP remained with a total amount of protein of 9.6 mg
191
and specific activity of 0.96 U/mg. After concentration with the 15-mL and 1.5-mL centrifugal
192
filter devices, WPTP, having a specific activity of 112 U/mg of protein, was obtained with an
193
overall yield of 27%. The purified rWPTP (Fig. 1) had an RZ value of 0.5, which was similar to
194
the RZ values (0.4-0.6) of HRP expressed in S. cerevisiae and P. pastoris27. The RZ value 9

measures the heme content by using the aromatic amino acid content as a reference and is a
196
measure of the purity of rWPTP.30 The final protein concentration of rWPTP was low, so larger
197
scale fermentation would be required to obtain a greater amount of rWPTP.
198
Molecular weight, glycosylation and amino acid sequences of rWPTP. The purified
199
rWPTP showed only one band on SDS-PAGE (Fig. 1). The band was at around 43±2 kDa.
200
Mature rWPTP has 306 amino acids in length (Fig. 2). The rWPTP expressed in P. pastoris in the
201
present study had approximately 23.4% of glycan content, which is similar to the glycan content
202
(21-29%) of mature native WPTP previously reported11.
203
The single band observed by SDS-PAGE was isolated and digested by trypsin or
204
chymotrypsin. The resulting peptides were analyzed by LC-MS/MS. The mass spectrometry
205
analysis verified that the single band was rWPTP. A fragmentation spectrum from the LC-
206
MS/MS analysis was shown in Fig. 2A. The b- and y-ions in the fragmentation spectrum verified
207
the amino acid sequence of rWPTP residues 48 - 65. In total, 11 tryptic peptides and 4
208
chymotryptic peptides provided 51.9% sequence coverage of rWPTP (Figure 2B). The average
209
mass of native WPTP, which has 306 amino acid residues in length, is 32.2 kD (vs 43±2 kDa by
210
SDS-PAGE).11 Fig. 2B shows 13 potential glycosylation sites that could be identified by the
211
sequence Asn- Xxx- Ser/Thr (Xxx is any amino acid except Pro).
212
Michaelis-Menten constant (Km) of rWPTP. The catalytic efficiency of rWPTP was
213
determined in the “Bi-Bi ping-pong” mechanism.31, 32

220
The Km constant of rWPTP with the substrates ABTS and H2O2 was measured (Fig. 3). A
221
primary double-reciprocal plot of the initial rate of ABTS oxidation as a function of H2O2
222
concentrations at fixed ABTS concentrations (0.02, 0.05, 0.1 and 0.2 mM) was presented in Fig.

224
A double-reciprocal plot was obtained upon studying the effect of ABTS concentration on the
225
initial rates of the oxidation reaction at different fixed H2O2 concentrations (0.1, 0.2, 0.3 and 0.6

227
Km is the substrate concentration at which the reaction rate is at half-maximum. A Km value is an
228
inverse measure of the substrate’s affinity for the enzyme. A low Km value means high affinity.
229
The Km value of H2O2 (K ୌଶଶ ) was 4.6*10-4 M, while the Km value of ABTS (K ୗ ) was ୫ ୫
230
1.6*10-4 M and the Vmax was 6.0*10-5 M/min. The lower the Km value is, the greater reactivity of
231
the peroxidase is toward the substrate ABTS. The K ୌଶଶ and K ୗ of Chamaerops excelsa ୫ ୫
232
palm tree peroxidase (CEP) are 7.1*10-5 M and 6.2*10-4 M, respectively. The K ୌଶଶ and K ୗ ୫ ୫
233
of royal palm tree peroxidase (RPTP) are 1.8*10-3 M and 4.9*10-4 M, respectively.33 The K ୌଶଶ ୫
234
value of rWPTP is 6.5- and 0.3-fold of that of CEP and RPTP, respectively. The K ୗ of ୫
235
rWPTP is one forth and one third of that of CEP and RPTP, respectively. The Km constants
236
imply that WPTP has greater affinity than that of CEP and RPTP toward the substrate ABTS.
237
Substrate specificity of rWPTP. As the “Bi-Bi ping-pong” mechanism is described in
238
equations 1-3, the reaction with the lowest rate which limits the overall catalytic process is the
239
one of Compound II with substrate (AН2). Similar approaches were used successfully.4, 34-35 The
240
reduction of compound II is the rate-limiting step in catalysis.36 The values of the second-order
11
ACS Paragon Plus Environment
Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry
241
rate constant (kapp) for the reaction between compound II and hydrogen donor substrates (AH2)
242
were then used to evaluate WPTP catalytic efficiency. The constant was calculated by equation 4.
243
Rate = kapp*[compound II]*[AH2]
(4)
244
Because reaction 3 is rate-limiting, we used it to calculate the initial concentration of
245
peroxidase instead of compound II concentration. rWPTP did not catalyze the reaction of the
246
substrate ferulic acid (Table 2). The kapp value measured with ABTS was 16, 12, 8, 24 and 190
247
times greater than that with ο-dianisidine, ο-phenylenediamine, guaiacol, pyrogallol, and
248
catechol, respectively. The kapp value is related to the peroxidase catalytic capacity, which means
249
that among the substrates tested, ABTS is the best substrate for rWPTP. Oxidation of pyrogallol
250
and catechol catalyzed by rWPTP was approximately 10 times slower than that of aromatic
251
amines and guaiacol; this characteristic was the same as native RPTP (Table 3). rWPTP can be
252
used as an indicator to test the reaction with the concentration of H2O2 and ABTS as low as 1.5
253
mM and 2.5 µM, respectively (data not shown).
254
Comparison of the kapp values measured under the optimal conditions revealed that the
255
efficiency of rWPTP catalysis depends strictly on the chemical nature of substrates (Table 3).
256
Native WPTP is the peroxidase extracted from windmill palm tree leaves, while rWPTP is the
257
peroxidase that was expressed in P. pastoris. The kapp value of rWPTP with ABTS was 52.8-,
258
4.8-, 17.3-, 51.4- and 19.0- fold of that of soybean, horseradish, tobacco, peanut and alfalfa
259
peroxidases4. The kapp value of rWPTP was 0.2-, 1.2-, 3.1-, 0.3-, 0.6-, 0.6- and 0.5-fold of that of
260
native WPTP10, RPTP, soybean, horseradish, tobacco, peanut and alfalfa peroxidases4 toward ο-
261
dianisidine, respectively, whereas it was, respectively, 29.1-, 0.6-, 40.0-, 3.3-, 50.0-, 7.3- and
262
38.1-fold with ο-phenylenediamine as the substrate, and was 1.4-, 2.1-, 4.0-, 1.6-, 5.0-, 1.0- and
263
0.2-fold with the substrate guaiacol. Only rWPTP and native RPTP can oxidize pyrogallol and
12

Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry
264
catechol, phenolic compounds containing two and three hydroxy groups, respectively, which
265
were oxidized by rWPTP more than 10 times slower than aromatic amines and guaiacol
266
(monophenol). The data show a substrate specificity pattern of rWPTP that can oxidize aromatic
267
amines and phenols besides ferulic acid.
268
Optimum pH with substrate ABTS. The purified rWPTP showed optimal catalytic
269
activity to ABTS under extreme acidic conditions (pH 2.0–4.0) with 0.1 and 0.2 mM ABTS as
270
the substrate (Fig. 4). The maximal rWPTP activity measured with ABTS was observed at pH
271
3.0, and the activities under pH 2 and 4 were about 93% of the maximum value. The results
272
agreed with the fact that WPTP is an anionic peroxidase, with an isoelectric point of pI 3.5.10 The
273
optimum pH of RPTP was 7. The maximum activity of AOPTP occurred at pH 3, however, the
274
activities of AOPTP at pH 2.8 and 3.5 were 57% and 67% of the maximum value.4,34 The results
275
indicate excellent suitability of rWPTP to catalyze the synthesis of polyaniline, which is most
276
effective at a pH value below 4.1, 37
277
pH and thermal stability of rWPTP. As shown in Fig. 5, the purified rWPTP retained
278
90% of its activity at pH 10 and 100% of activity when it was stored in pH 2 buffer for 24 h. The
279
purified rWPTP retained 75% of its activity even when it was stored at pH 12 for 24 h. Many
280
plant peroxidases are labile at acidic pH conditions. HRP is unstable at pH below 4.5, and native
281
WPTP had a lower stability at acidic conditions.38-39 The purified rWPTP maintained greater than
282
93% of its activity when it was stored at 60 °C and 87% activity at 70 °C. The activity of the
283
purified rWPTP declined dramatically to 40% when it was stored at 80 °C. Thermal inactivation
284
of native WPTP visibly occurred in the temperature range of 61-67 °C. The poor thermal
285
stability limits peroxidase’s large-scale catalysis applications, which is particularly true in
286
bioremediation and polyelectrolyte synthesis. Good thermal stability of rWPTP is therefore a
13
ACS Paragon Plus Environment
Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry
287
desirable property for polyelectrolyte synthesis.40 Comparison of substrate specificity and
288
stability profiles between rWPTP and other peroxidases indicates that catalytic features and
289
optimal performance conditions (acidic) of rWPTP offer good perspectives for its applications.
290
Tolerance of rWPTP to metallic cations, denaturants and organic solvents. Different
291
metallic ions (Table 4), denaturants and organic solvents (Table 5) have different effects on the
292
enzyme activity. The enzyme activity value measured without fortified metallic cations,
293
denaturants and organic solvents was taken as 100%. Mg2+, Cu2+, Fe3+, Ni2+, citric acid and urea
294
had no effect on the peroxidase activity. Fe2+ and Mn2+ highly inhibited the enzyme activity,
295
which might be due to their interactions with the heme prosthetic group. The metallic ions Ca2+,
296
Pb2+ and K+ had an activation effect. SDS, EDTA, 20% DMSO and 10% DMSO had inhibitory
297
effects on the activity, while 1% DMSO had negligible effects on the enzyme activity. DMSO at
298
1% or less can be therefore used as a carrier solvent in applications.
299
Page 14 of 32
rWPTP has good pH and thermal stability and shows optimum catalytic activity in the range
300
from pH 2.0 to pH 4.0. rWPTP can also maintain high activity under most metallic ions and
301
organic solvents. The results obtained in this study imply that the rWPTP expressed in P.
302
pastoris has a good application prospect. The future work would include optimization of
303
fermentation parameters at a large scale as well as investigation of potential applications of the
304
rWPTP.
