The invention discloses a method for expressing and purifying recombinant
ethanol oxidase rAOX. According to the method, an
ethanol oxidase-poly-L-
histidine expression vector pPIC9K-AOX-HIS is constructed first by a molecular biological technique, then the
expression vector pPIC9K-AOX-HIS is linearized and transferred to
pichia pastoris GS115, and thus,
pichia pastoris
engineering bacteria capable of expressing active recombinant
ethanol oxidase are obtained, and part of recombinant ethanol oxidase can be secreted and expressed. Through optimization of the expression conditions of recombinant ethanol oxidase, the ethanol oxidase produced by the
engineering bacteria may reach 1,862U / L. Meanwhile, the
secretion and expression of the ethanol oxidase and the introduction of a poly-L-
histidine tag simplify the purification process of the recombinant ethanol oxidase. According to the result of tests, the recombinant ethanol oxidase expressed by the
engineering bacteria has much higher
thermostability than
pichia pastoris wide type ethanol oxidase. The operation in the whole process of the method is simple, so the method is suitable for industrial production and can create certain economic benefit.
