Optimal Production and Biochemical Properties of a Lipase from Candida albicans

Lipases from microorganisms have multi-faceted properties and play an important role in ever-growing modern biotechnology and, consequently, it is of great significance to develop new ones. In the present work, a lipase gene from Candida albicans (CaLIP10) was cloned and two non-unusual CUG serine codons were mutated into universal codons, and its expression in Pichia pastoris performed optimally, as shown by response surface methodology. Optimal conditions were: initial pH of culture 6.86, temperature 25.53 °C, 3.48% of glucose and 1.32% of yeast extract. The corresponding maximal lipolytic activity of CaLIP10 was 8.06 U/mL. The purified CaLIP10 showed maximal activity at pH 8.0 and 25 °C, and a good resistance to non-ionic surfactants and polar organic solvent was noticed. CaLIP10 could effectively hydrolyze coconut oil, but exhibited no obvious preference to the fatty acids with different carbon length, and diacylglycerol was accumulated in the reaction products, suggesting that CaLIP10 is a potential lipase for the oil industry.

detergents, but the activity of lipase might be inhibited by other components in detergents such as proteases and surfactants. Immobilization of lipase on a suitable support provides its reuse and protects it from protease attack and surfactants inhibition. Immobilization can help to enable the application of enzymes in different solvents, at extremes of pH and temperature [21]. The substrate-specificity, enantioselectivity and reactivity of lipase can also be modified [21].
An effective production of lipases is an essential step in determining their biochemical properties, catalytic behavior and sequence-structure-function relationships. However, it is difficult to isolate the individual isoenzymes from C. albicans directly because of their high similarities in physical properties. A feasible approach is to produce a lipase by the recombinant DNA technology combined with manipulating culture conditions in a heterologous expression system. A number of statistical experimental designs, such as central composite design (CCD), with response surface methodology (RSM) have been employed for optimizing enzyme production from microorganisms [22][23][24][25][26]. In contrast to "one-at-a-time" technique, the response surface methodology (RSM), which includes factorial design and regression analysis, helps in evaluating the effective factors and building models to study interaction and select optimum conditions of variables for a desirable response [27].
In the present work, our attempt was to produce lipase 10 from C. albicans (CaLIP10) and determine its biochemical properties. The two non-universal serine codons (CTG) in the gene were mutated into universal TCT serine codons by overlap extension PCR. The screened CaLIP10 with high productivity was constitutively expressed in Pichia pastoris (P. pastoris), and its culture process was optimized by response surface methodology. The recombinant CaLIP10 was purified and characterized by monitoring the effect of pH, temperature, ions, detergents, water-miscible solvents on lipase activity and studying the hydrolysis of coconut oil.

Gene Mutation by an Overlap Extension PCR
There were two non-universal CUG-Ser codons (residue number 210 and 378) in the C. albicans lip10 gene (Figure 1a). Both the CUG codons were converted into universal serine codons TCT by using overlap extension PCR (Figure 1b) with the primers in Table 1. The mutated lip10 DNA sequence, termed as lip10-dm, was confirmed by full-length DNA sequencing. Table 1. Primers for lip10 gene cloning and mutation.

Screening Strains with High Yield of CalIP10
P. pastoris transformants containing lip10 and lip10-dm were screened using 1% tributyrin-emulsion YPD plates. The clear zone on the opaque tributyrin emulsion identified the lipase-secreting transformants. It can be seen from Figure 2 that a clear zone was formed around wild type lip10 and mutated lip10-dm, and the diameter of the transparent ring formed by the mutant was larger than that formed by the wild type. Transformants, which contained wild lip10 and mutant lip10-dm, were cultured in YPD medium to investigate the enzymatic activity. After 72 h, the lipase activities were 2.05 U/mL, and 4.92 U/mL, respectively. These results indicated that both residue Ser-210 and Ser-378 played an important role in lipolytic activity. The reason may be that Ser-210 and Ser-378 are key amino acids which are involved in the active domain, or they have impact effect on the correct folding of protein. Roustan et al. reported that the mutagenesis of CUG codons in one of the lipases from C. albicans (CaLIP4) resulted in a ten-fold lipase activity increase [11].

Optimization of Culture Conditions for the Production of CaLIP10
The CCD was predicted to obtain the possible culture conditions for CaLIP10 production from recombinant P. pastoris. Experiments 1-30 were performed with different combinations and those from 10 to 15 were under the same conditions ( Table 2). The actual lipase activity obtained in the experiments and predicted lipase activity produced by the model are also given in Table 2 where y is the predicted response; x 1 , x 2 , x 3 and x 4 are the uncoded values: Temperature, initial pH of culture, concentration of yeast extract content and concentration of glucose. The analysis of variables for the model and factors are shown in Table 3 which lists the regression coefficients calculated by the model for β i , β ii , β ij along with significance levels of the terms. From p-values of terms, it can be seen that the linear term of temperature, yeast extract concentration and glucose concentration as well as the square term for temperature, pH and glucose concentration, were highly significant on CaLIP10 activity; the linear term of initial pH (0.0126) was the least significant. The interactions of initial pH and glucose concentration (0.0014), temperature and glucose concentration (0.0009) have a minor effect on the CaLIP10 activity while the interaction of initial pH and yeast extract (0.8225) has the most significance on the activity of CaLIP10.  The coefficients of correlation and variation and F-value are given in Table 4. The mathematical model was very reliable with an R 2 value of 0.9814. The closer the R 2 is to 1, the better the model fits the experimental data, the less the difference between the predicted and the observed values. The compared F-value of 56.64214 was greater than the F (14, 15) value in the statistic table at 1% level. It reflected the significance of the model. In summary, those values indicated a satisfactory fitness of the quadratic model and were adequate to represent the actual relationship between the responses (lipolytic activity) and the significant variables. The three-dimensional response surface and contour curves for the four variables are shown in (Figure 3). The response surface representing CaLIP10 activity was a function of two tested variables with the other two variables being maintained at their optimal level. It was clear and obvious to understand the interaction between two factors and to predict their optimal levels.   (f) From the response surface, it indicated that the optimal initial pH of the culture was 6.86 for CaLIP10 activity (Figure 3a,d,e) since a lower or higher initial pH decreased not only the activity of CaLIP10 but had a negative effect on the cell growth. The corresponding cell density (OD 600 ) was 13.5, 16.8 and 26 when the initial pH of the culture medium was selected to be 3, 11 and 7 respectively with other process parameters being the same. The reason why recombinant CaLIP10 production was related to the cell growth was that the constitutive promoter was used in the vector system. Culture temperature made an impact on the CaLIP10 production (Figure 3a-c) with temperatures over 30 °C being detrimental to the cell growth (data not shown) and protein production while a lower temperature (25.53 °C) favored maximal lipase production, probably because the higher specific growth rates caused much more metabolic burden to be placed on the cell. Yeast extract concentration of 1.32% and a glucose concentration around 3.48% gave the maximal predicted lipase production (Figure 3b-f). Yeast extract was an important nitrogen source for yeast growth and any concentration of yeast extract of less than 1.32% could not fully support the cell growth [28]. However, it was reported that yeast extract rich in amino acids and peptides displayed a repressive effect on enzyme production when used at a higher concentration (>1.5%, m/v) [29]. A high glucose concentration (>10%, m/v) might be unfavorable for enzyme production due to the osmotic pressure or the carbon catabolite repression [30,31]. No significant repression effect of glucose on CaLIP10 production was found at a concentration of less than 5.5% in our study.
The above observations indicated that the maximum production of CaLIP10 (7.89 U/mL) was obtained when the initial pH of the culture, the temperature, the yeast extract concentration and the glucose concentration were at about 6.86, 25.53 °C, 1.32% and 3.48% respectively. In order to verify the predicted results, the experiment was performed under the optimized culture condition and the experimental value was 8.06 U/mL, indicating that experimental and predicted values of CaLIP10 yield were in a good agreement.

Purification of Recombinant CaLIP10
The recombinant CaLIP10 was efficiently purified by cation-exchange chromatography，and its molecular mass was determined to be about 50 kDa by SDS-PAGE analysis ( Figure 4). After purification, the specific activity of CaLIP10 increased 5.68 fold with a recovery of 86.01% (Table 5). This pure CaLIP10 was used for further analysis of biochemical properties.  The effect of pH (Figure 5a,b) and temperature (Figure 5c,d) on the lipase activity and stability of CaLIP10 were determined spectrophotometrically using p-nitrophenol caprylate (p-NPc) as substrate. The recombinant CaLIP10 was found to be most active at pH 8.0 and exhibited very low activity (<10%) at pH 5-6 ( Figure 5a). The similar results were observed with lipases from Pseudomonas fluorescens JCM5963 and Bacillus coagulans BTS-3 [32,33]. Stability was tested after incubation at different pH value buffer for 24 h. The activity of CaLIP10 decreased by more than 50% after incubation at buffer with the pH below 6 for 24 h, while it was relatively stable in an alkaline environment (Figure 5b). Different pH could affect the ionization state of the amino acids which dictate the primary and secondary structure of the enzyme and hence, controls its overall activity. The optimum temperature for CaLIP10 activity was 25 °C, but the relative activity maintained about 20% of maximal CaLIP10 activity when the temperature was at 5 °C ( Figure 5c) supporting Margesin's definition [34] that CaLIP10 might not be identified as a cold-adapted lipase. The thermo stability of recombinant CaLIP10 was investigated by incubation at different temperature for 2 h at pH 8.0. The relative activity of recombinant CaLIP10 was greater than 60% after incubation of CaLIP10 at temperature below 40 °C for 2 h, while its activity decreased dramatically after the incubation temperature above 50 °C (Figure 5d).
In the optimization of the CaLIP10 production section, low enzyme activity was observed in pH 3.0. One reason might be that the growth of cell was affected under low pH value, which might decrease the production of recombinant enzyme. Meanwhile, the configuration of enzyme might be destroyed at low pH value, which resulted in decreasing the activity of enzyme. The enzyme was more stable at low temperature (Figure 5d). This result was consistent with the fact that maximal lipase production was achieved at a lower cultural temperature (25.53 °C). Therefore, the recombinant yeast should be cultured at relative lower temperature to maintain the activity of CaLIP10.

Effect of Chemicals, Inhibitors, Detergents and Water-Miscible Solvents
The effects of various chemicals, detergents/inhibitors and water-miscible solvents on lipolytic activity of CaLIP10 are shown in Table 6. Lipase activity decreased significantly as the concentration of Zn 2+ , Cu 2+ , Mg 2+ , Fe 3+ , Ca 2+ , Mn 2+ , Hg 2+ , Li + , Ni 2+ , Ba 2+ and Co 2+ increased. PMSF, which is a serine inhibitor, decreased activity of CaLIP10 distinctly when its concentration increased from 1 to 5 mM. The addition of 1 mM and 5 mM of EDTA did not significantly affect the enzyme activity, indicating that CaLIP10 was not a metalloenzyme.
Different surfactants have a different influence on the CaLIP10 activity. Relative activities of CaLIP10 were 78.87, 98.48 and 102.48% when 1% of Triton X-100 (HLB-13.0), Tween-80 (HLB-15.0), and Tween-20 (HLB-16.7) were used respectively, suggesting that CaLIP10 activity increased with the increment of hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (HLB) value. The results indicated that the hydrophilicity of non-ionic surfactants might help to increase CaLIP10 stability. However, a higher concentration (5%) of Tween-80 and Tween-20 showed a detrimental effect on CaLIP10 activity, which may be due to the fact that the excessive adsorption of the surfactants on the enzyme surface results in a diffusional limitation on the reaction [35]. In contrast to the above results, SDS placed a drastic inhibitory effect on activity of CaLIP10 possibly because of its negative charge and its denaturing capability.  The stability or enhancement of enzyme activity in the presence of organic solvents was generally considered as a valid feature, as it was a prerequisite for the synthesis of valuable compounds in non-aqueous solvents. It could be seen from Table 6 that CaLIP10 activity decreased after being treated with different solvents, but no obvious relation was found between CaLIP10 activity and the Log P of organic solvents. It was reported that the hydrophilic solvents may strip off the water layer from the surface of the enzyme and compete strongly for hydrogen bonds between protein atoms, leading to protein unfolding and subsequent denaturation [36]. Though CaLIP10 activity dramatically decreased after being treated with acetone, methanol and isopropanol, it still retained more than 73% of maximal activity when CaLIP10 was treated with ethanol for 1 h.

Hydrolysis of Coconut Oil
To investigate the hydrolysis ability toward oil, the coconut oil was used as a substrate. As shown in Figure 6, 38.64% and 43.56% of Triglyceride (TAG) were converted after 6 h and 24 h of reaction. It was found that the hydrolysis reaction almost did not progress from 6 to 24 h. The pH of the reaction solution might decrease due to accumulation of the released free fat acid, which led to decrease the activity of CaLIP10 since it was low activity and stability at low pH value. A buffering system will be used to investigate the hydrolysis reaction of the coconut oil in a subsequent study. Diacylglycerol (DAG) products were accumulated with the reaction proceeded, and 1,3-DAG was the predominant component in the DAG mixture. We are not sure whether CaLIP10 really is specific for position 2 based on the existent results. Lipase with sn-2 preference has great potential applications in industries. Until now, lipase A from Candida Antarctica (CALA) has been reported to be the only known lipase with a sn2-preference towards triglycerides [9]. Therefore, we will make effort to ensure this point in further studies. The composition of released fatty acids were analyzed (Table 7), and the CaLIP10 showed no obvious preference to the fatty acids with different carbon length.

Materials
All chemicals used in the study were analytical pure grade. The substrates p-nitrophenol caprylate (p-NPc) were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (Germany). Other reagents were purchased from Takara (Japan) or Omega (USA).

Strains, Plasmids and Culture Media
Strain C. albicans ATCC 10231 was purchased from Guangdong Microbial Culture Collection Center (China). P. pastoris X33 and pGAPZαA (Invitrogen) were used as host and vector, respectively, for heterologous expression of the lipase, while E. coli DH5α and plasmid pBluescript SK vector (BSK, Stratagene) were used for vector construction. P. pastoris X33 was grown in shake-flasks at 30 °C in YPD medium (per liter: 10 g yeast extract, 20 g peptone, 20 g glucose). YPD containing 100 μg/mL Zeocin (Invitrogen) was used for screening of transformants. E. coli strains containing recombinant plasmids were cultured in Luria Bertani (LB) medium at 37 °C and supplemented with Zeocin when needed.

Cloning and Mutagenesis of CalIP10
C. albicans genomic DNA was prepared using a fungal genome extraction kit (Omega) according to the manufacturer's instruction. The mature protein-coding sequence without the signal peptide of C. albicans lipase 10 (namely lip10) was amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) from genomic DNA. Specific primers 10F/10R (Table 1) were used. The PCR product was first purified and digested by restriction enzymes, then ligated with predigested pBluescript SK vector, and was termed pBluescript-lip10. The plasmid construct was used as the template for the mutagenesis to convert 2 non-universal CTG-serine codons (residue number 210 and 378) in CaLIP10 into universal TCT-serine codons. The simultaneous multiple mutagenesis was carried out by the overlap extension PCR [37]. The product of the mutagenesis was ligated into the pBluescript SK vector, and was termed pBluescript-lip10-dm. The sequence of mutated lip10 containing the mentioned replacements was confirmed by the full-length DNA sequencing. The scheme for mutation is shown in Figure 1 and the mutagenic primers are shown in Table 1. Subcloning of lip10 and lip10-dm into the expression vector pGAPZαA were performed to generate pGAPZαA-lip10 and pGAPZαA-lip10-dm.

Screening Recombinant P. pastoris with High Yield of CaLIP10
The plasmid pGAPZαA-lip10 and pGAPZαA-lip10-dm were linearized with AvrII (NEB, USA) and transformed into P. pastoris X33 by electroporation using Gene Pulser (Bio-Rad) apparatus. Transformants were screened on YPD plates (containing 2% agar and 100 μg/mL Zeocin) to isolate Zeocin-resistant clones. Individual colonies were pitched and patched on 1% tributyrin-emulsion YPD plates to identify lipase-secreting transformants which would form a clear zone on the opaque tributyrin emulsion. P. pastoris transformed with pGAPZαA was used as a negative control. Strains with high yield of CaLIP10 were maintained at −80 °C in 50% glycerol (v/v).

Culture of the Recombinant P. pastoris
Seed medium consisting of YPD was inoculated and incubated in a rotary shaker (30 °C, 250 rpm, 24 h) and then 5 mL was used to inoculate 50 mL of production medium (YPD) in a 300 mL glass flask. This culture was grown under the different conditions to optimize the culture process.

Experimental Design
In order to explore the effect of culture medium (glucose, yeast extract) and growth condition (pH and temperature), a statistical approach using the Box-Wilson central composite design (CCD) was conducted [38]. In this study, the four independence variables were studied at five levels (−2, −1, 0, 1, 2) and a 4-factor-5-level CCD that consisted of 30-run experiments ( Table 2) generated by Design Expert 7.0 (Stat-Ease Inc., USA) was used. The lipolytic activity of lipase was taken as responses.
The CCD experimental results were fitted with a second-order polynomial equation of Equation 2 [39]: where Y is response (lipolytic activity); β k0 , β i , β kii , and β kij are constant coefficients and x i the uncoded independent variable. The analysis of variance (ANOVA) was performed to evaluate significance of the model and coefficients.

Purification of Recombinant CaLIP10
All procedures were performed at 4 °C. The culture broth was centrifuged (12,000 × g, 4 min) to remove the cells. The crude enzyme solution was adjusted to pH 5.5 using HCl, and applied onto a CM Sepharose TM Fast Flow column (CM FF, 1.6 cm × 28 cm, GE Healthcare) equilibrated with 20 mM sodium acetate buffer (pH 5.5). The column was washed with 20 mM sodium acetate buffer (pH 5.5) and then bound protein was eluted with a gradient of the same buffer containing 0-1.0 M NaCl at a flow rate of 3 mL/min. The active fractions (50 mL) were pooled, concentrated and 10 mL loaded onto the Sephadex G25 column (2.5 cm × 20 cm) equilibrated with 100 mM sodium phosphate buffer (pH 7.0). The column was then washed with the same buffer and the lipase-active fractions pooled and stored at 4 °C.
The molecular mass of the purified recombinant lipase was determined in denaturing conditions by SDS-PAGE with 5% polyacrylamide-stacking gel and a 12% polyacrylamide-resolving gel. The total protein in the samples was quantified with a BCA Protein Assay Kit (Sangon, Shanghai, China) using bovine serum albumin as standard according to the manufacturer's instruction.

Lipase Activity Assay
The lipase activity was determined spectrophotometrically using p-nitrophenol caprylate as substrate. The reaction mixture consisted of 50 mM Tris-HCl buffer (pH 8.0), 2 mM p-NPc and an appropriate amount of the lipase and the amount of released p-nitrophenol quantified after 5 min reaction time by its absorbance at 405 nm. One unit of activity was defined as the amount of enzyme needed to release 1 μmol of p-nitrophenol per minute under the assay conditions.

Effect of Temperature on CaLIP10 Activity and Stability
Effect of temperature on the lipase activity was determined by measuring the hydrolytic activity at different temperatures in 50 mM Tris-HCl buffer (pH 8.0). The temperature was set as 5 °C, 15 °C, 25 °C, 35 °C, 45 °C and 55 °C. The activity was expressed as percent relative activity in relation to the temperature optimum, which was considered as 100%.
The thermostability was investigated by incubating the lipase at the different temperatures for 2 h and measuring its activity every 30 min. The activity was expressed as percent relative activity with respect to maximum activity, which was considered as 100%.

Effect of pH on the CaLIP10 Activity and Stability
The optimum pH was investigated by measuring the hydrolytic activity of lipase at 25 °C at different pH between 3.0 and 9.0 by using the following buffers: 100 mM sodium acetate buffer (pH 3.0-5.0), 100 mM sodium phosphate buffer (pH 6.0, pH 7.0), 50 mM Tris-HCl buffer (pH 8.0) and 50 mM Gly-NaOH buffer (pH 9.0). The activity was expressed as percent relative activity with respect to maximum activity, which was considered as 100%.
To analyze pH stability of the lipase, the purified CaLIP10 was pre-incubated (4 °C, 20 h) in buffers with each of the different pH value and the residual activity was measured The activity was expressed as percent relative activity with respect to maximum activity, which was considered as 100%.

Effect of Metal Ions, Inhibitors, Detergents and Water-Miscible Solvents on the CaLIP10 Activity
The influence of various chemicals, inhibitors, surfactants and water-miscible solvent on the hydrolytic activity was determined by detecting the residual activity at 25 °C after incubating (4 °C, 1 h) the pure CaLIP10 in 50 mM Tris-HCl buffer (pH 8.0) containing each of various metal ions (1 mM and 5 mM), each of detergents/inhibitors (0.1% v/v) or each of water-miscible solvents (30% v/v). The metal ions included ZnSO 4 , CuSO 4 , MgSO 4 , FeCl 3 , CaCl 2 , MnSO 4 , HgCl 2 , LiCl, NiCl 2 , BaCl 2 , CoCl 2 ; inhibitors included ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) and phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride (PMSF); detergents included Tween 20, Tween 80, Triton X-100 and sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS and water-miscible solvents included methanol, ethanol, acetone and isopropanol. The percentage residual activities were expressed in comparison with a standard assay mixture with no metal ions, detergents/inhibitors or water-miscible solvents added. 3.8.4. Hydrolysis of Coconut Oil 5 g of coconut oil and 0.5 g of distilled water were added into a 50 mL Florence flask, and the reaction was preceded under magnetic stirring (200 rpm) at 25 °C with an addition of 100 U of CalIP10 per gram of coconut oil. About 0.1 g of the reaction mixture was withdrawn periodically and centrifuged at 10,000 rpm for 5 min. The upper layer was transferred into another tube, and anhydrous sodium sulfate was added to remove the residual water. And then 1 mL of n-hexane and 2-propanol (15:1 v/v) was added to the mixture and swirled thoroughly. The supernatant was collected for HPLC analysis by centrifugation at 10,000 rpm for 1 min.

Analysis of Hydrolytic Products by HPLC and GC
After 48 h of hydrolysis of coconut oil, 100 mg of reaction mixture were withdrawn into a separatory funnel, and then hexane (10 mL) and phenolphthalein solution was added. The reaction mixture was neutralized with KOH 0.5 N hydroehanolic solution (30% ethanol). The lower phase was acidified (pH 1.0) with 6 N HCl. The liberated free fatty acids were then extracted with 50 mL of hexane. The hexane layer was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and the solvent was removed with a rotary evaporator at 40 °C. Free fatty acids were methylated and analyzed by GC [40].The dacylglycerols in the reaction mixture were analyzed by HPLC [41].

Conclusions
Functional expression of CaLIP10 in P. pastoris and indicated biochemical properties of CaLIP10 were performed. 210 and 378-CUG-Ser codons play an impact role in the lipase activity, and about 2-fold activity increased when they were mutated into universal TCT serine codons. The lipolytic activity of CaLIP10 was further increased by 64% at optimal conditions under initial pH of culture at 6.86, temperature at 25.53 °C, 3.48% of glucose and 1.32% of yeast extract.
The optimum conditions for lipolytic activity were 25 °C and pH 8. Ions, such as Fe 3+ at a high concentration (5 mM) reduced lipolytic activity of CaLIP10 dramatically. The hydrophilicity of non-ionic surfactants at low concentration (1%) might help to increase the stability and activity of CaLIP10 to some degree. CaLIP10 exhibited a good stability in non-ionic surfactants and retained more than 73% of maximal activity after being treated with ethanol. CaLIP10 could effectively hydrolyze coconut oil, but exhibited no obvious preference to the fatty acids with different carbon lengths, and diacylglycerol was accumulated in the reaction products, suggesting that CaLIP10 is a potential lipase for application in the oil industry.
