A mutant fungal strain, namely G. candidum NRRL Y-552, mutant known as Henkel 9-2-3-9 produces a lipase called "UNLipase" providing a selectivity of 25:1 for oleic acid over palmitic acid by the assay procedure employed. UNLipase has a temperature range of operation of between 0 and 40 degrees Celsius (and no activity over 55 degrees Celsius). The optimum pH ranges are between 7.5 and 8.5. Magnesium cations increase activity, whereas calcium cations are inhibitory. The molecular weight of the protein appears to be 65 kDa by size exclusion chromatography. UNLipase shows a high degree of selectivity for hydrolysis, esterification and transesterification.
一种突变的真菌菌株,即G. candidum NRRL Y-552,突变体被称为Henkel 9-2-3-9,产生一种名为“UNLipase”的
脂肪酶,通过所采用的测定程序,提供了25:1的
油酸选择性,超过
棕榈酸。 UNLipase的操作温度范围为0至40摄氏度(55摄氏度以上无活性)。最适pH范围在7.5至8.5之间。
镁阳离子可以增加活性,而
钙阳离子则具有抑制作用。根据尺寸排除色谱法,该蛋白质的分子量似乎为65 kDa。UNLipase对
水解、酯化和转酯化表现出高度的选择性。
