ABSTRACT
Chitin deacetylase (CDA) removes the acetyl group from the chitin molecule to generate chitosan in a uniform, high-quality deacetylation pattern. Herein, BaCDA was a novel CDA discovered from our previously isolated Bacillus aryabhattai strain TCI-16, which was excavated from mangrove soil. The gene BaCDA was cloned and overexpressed in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3) to facilitate its subsequent purification. The purified recombinant protein BaCDA was obtained at a concentration of about 1.2 mg/mL after Ni2+ affinity chromatography. The molecular weight of BaCDA was around 28 kDa according to the sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) analysis. In addition, BaCDA exhibited a significant deacetylation effect on colloidal chitin, and the deacetylation degree was measured from the initial 25.69 to 69.23% by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) observation showed that the surface of colloidal chitin after enzymatic digestion was rough, the crystal fibers disappeared, and the chitin structure was loose and porous with grooves. The results of electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) showed that BaCDA had full-deacetylation activity against (GlcNAc)4. Molecular docking revealed that BaCDA had an open active pocket capable of binding to the GlcNAc unit. This study not only provides a novel enzymatic resource for the green and efficient application of chitin but also helps to deepen the understanding of the catalytic mechanism of CDA.
