Transglutaminase (TG) from Streptomyces mobaraensis has been widely used in the food industry. It is secreted naturally as an inactive zymogen, which is then activated by the removal of the N-terminal pro-peptide. In this study, the mtg gene from S. mobaraensis was expressed in a food-grade strain of bacterium, Bacillus subtilis. When its native signal peptide was replaced by signal peptide SacB (SPsacB) and the pro-peptide was replaced by that derived from S. hygroscopicus, an extracellular activity of 16.1 U/mg was observed. A modified Saccharomyces cerevisiae vacuolar ATPase subunit (VMA) intein was introduced into the zymogen to simplify its activation process by controlling temperature. When the cleavage ... More
