Immobilization of recombinant invertase (re-INVB) from Zymomonas mobilis on D-sorbitol cinnamic ester for production of invert sugar.
The recombinant invertase (re-INVB) from Zymomonas mobilis was immobilized by adsorption onto the totally cinnamoylated derivative of D-sorbitol. The polymerization and cross-linking of the derivative initially obtained was achieved by irradiation in the ultraviolet region, where this prepolymer shows maximum sensitivity. Immobilization of re-INVB on this support involves a process of physical adsorption and intense hydrophobic interactions between the cinnamoyl groups of the support and related groups of the enzyme. Enzyme concentration, immobilization time, and irradiation time were important parameters affecting the immobilization efficiency. The optimum reaction pH of immobilized enzyme was 5, and the optimal reaction temperature was 40 degrees C. The apparent Michaelis constant and the apparent catalytic constant of re-INVB immobilized on the SOTCN derivative acting on sucrose was 78+/-5 mM and 5x10(4)+/-3x10(2) s(-1), respectively, while for the free enzyme, it was 98.0+/-4 mM and 1.2x10(4)+/-2.5x10(2) s(-1), respectively, suggesting a better apparent affinity of the enzyme for the substrate and a better hydrolysis rate when immobilized than when in solution. Immobilized re-INVB also showed good thermal stability and good operational stability (40% of the initial activity remaining after 45 cyles of 1 min duration and 90.6 mg of sucrose being hydrolyzed in 45 min per 2.5 mg of immobilized protein). The results showed that cinnamic carbohydrate esters of D-sorbitol are an appropriate support for re-INVB immobilization and the production of invert sugar.
