Keratinase kerAvDZ50

KerAVDZ50 is an extracellular serine thiol alkaline protease from the Actinomadura viridilutea strain, which can be isolated from the Algerian fishing port [1]. As a thermo-alkaline keratinases, it can function at a pH range of 7–12 and a temperature range of 35–80 °C.

6x His-tags were added to both sides of the sequence for purification, and constructed into PET-28a(+) (BBa_K3895007). The length of KerAVDZ50 is 1218bp.

Modeling

The biological activity of a protein is not only determined by the primary structure of the protein molecule but also closely related to its specific spatial structure. Elucidating the process of protein folding in functional and structural details will be of great significance to evaluate their keratinotic functions. According to the amino acid sequences in the enzyme active sites and associated catalytic mechanisms, proteases can be classified into seven broad groups: serine, cysteine, threonine, aspartic and glutamic proteases, metalloproteases and asparagine peptide lyases. According to the nature of their active site, keratinases belong to serine- and metalloproteases or serine metalloproteases. Moreover, the enzymatic degradation of keratin is a multistage process that requires the following steps: adsorption of the keratinases to the surface of macromolecule by electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions, followed by catalytic action [2]. Hence we used Swiss Model to predict their hydrophobic region and serine groups.
