A deep-sea sediment metagenomic library was constructed and screened for lipolytic enzymes by activity-based approach. Nine novel lipolytic enzymes were identified, and the amino acid sequences shared 56% to 84% identity to other lipolytic enzymes in the database. Phylogenetic analysis showed that these enzymes belonged to family IV lipolytic enzymes. One of the lipolytic enzymes, Est6, was successfully cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli Rosetta in a soluble form. The recombinant protein… CONTINUE READING
