Title in Portuguese
Expressão e caracterização estrutural e funcional de sequências genômicas codificadoras de enzimas lipolíticas.

Lipase
Abstract in Portuguese
Duas enzimas do clone PL14.H10 de biblioteca metagenômica de consórcio microbiano degradador de óleo diesel, EST3, da família IV, e EST5, da família V das enzimas lipolíticas, foram caracterizadas. Os modelos estruturais mostraram cap-domínio e grande cavidade interna. A EST3 hidrolisou pNP-ésteres de até 12 carbonos, com Kcat/Km para pNP-acetato foi 1533,27 s-1.mM-1. Já a EST5 hidrolisou pNP-ésteres de 2 a 14 átomos de carbono, com maior atividade em pNP-valerato, e Kcat/Km de 1732,3 s-1.mM-1. Ambas apresentaram o fenômeno da ativação térmica. A atividade máxima da EST5 se deu a 45°C e em pH 7,5. A EST3 exibiu atividade máxima em pH 6,0, a 41°C. A atividade das enzimas aumentou na presença de quase todos os íons testados, e a EST5 quase não foi influenciada por detergentes. Foram relativamente estáveis em solventes orgânicos. Um dos cristais da proteína EST5 difratou a 2,311 Å e espera-se resolver a estrutura desta proteína. Os resultados deste trabalho revelaram interessantes características da EST3 e EST5 para possíveis aplicações biotecnológicas.

Abstract in English
Two enzymes of PL14.H10 clone from a metagenomic fosmid library from a microbial consortium specialized for diesel oil degradation, EST3, from family IV, and EST5, from the V of lipolytic enzymes were characterized. Structural models showed cap-domain and large internal cavity. EST3 hydrolyzed pNP-esters of up to 12 carbons, with Kcat/Km in pNP-acetate of 1533.27 s-1.mM-1. EST5 hydrolyzed pNP-esters from 2 to 14 carbon atoms, with greater activity on pNP-valerate, and Kcat/Km of 1732.3 s-1.mM-1. Both showed the thermal activation phenomenon. EST5 activity was optimal at 45°C and pH 7.5. EST3 exhibited maximum activity at pH 6.0, 41°C. The esterases activity increased in the presence of almost all ions tested, and EST5 was not influenced by detergents. They were relatively stable in organic solvents. One of the crystals of EST5 protein diffracted at 2.311 Å and is expected to solve the structure of this protein. The results of this study revealed interesting features of the EST3 and EST5 proteins for possible biotechnological applications.
