cloning of candida antarctica lipase a gene in to kluveromyces lactis
DESCRIPTION
Lipase A is an enzyme from Candida antarctica strain isolated from Lake vanda in Antarctica. The gene coding for Lipase A is CALA gene. Lipase A is the most thermostable lipase known and is used as a biocatalyst in food and pharmaceutical industry. Lipases (triacylglycerol acylhydrolases EC 3.1.1.3) are ubiquitous enzymes of considerable physiological significance and industrial potential. Lipases catalyze the hydrolysis of triacylglycerols to glycerol and free fatty acids. Lipases are serine hydrolases. Lipases display little activity in aqueous solutions containing soluble substrates.Lipase A gene was from Candida antarctica was amplified using gene specific primers Xho1 restriction site. The gene was cloned unidirectionally into Xho1 site in pKLAC2 vector. pKLAC2 with lipase A gene insert was transformed into E.Coli TOP 10F’ strain and the transformed colonies were screened for positive transformants. Future prospects involve expressing lipase A gene in Kluveromyces lactis expression system and conducting expression studies in a fermenter.TRANSCRIPT

CALA gene obtained from Plamid pPICZαB having CALA insert.
CALA gene in pPICZαB is amplified using PCR.
The amplified CALA gene is then restricted at xho1 site.
CALA gene was purified to remove excess salts and to increase CALA concentration.

pKLAC2 was extracted from E.coli DH5α maintenance host.
pKLAC2 was restricted at xho1 sites using xho1 restriction enzyme.

Analysis of restricted pKLAC2 plasmid
![Page 12: Cloning of candida antarctica lipase a gene in to kluveromyces lactis](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062616/54b5c0ec4a7959e2558b4606/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Since two sticky ends in the restricted pKLAC2 plasmid are the same, one of the end has to be dephosphorylated.
Antarctic phosphatase is used for this purpose. It catalyzes removal of phosphate groups from DNA and RNA.
This is used to reduce vector background in cloning strategies.
The restricted plasmid is then purified before continuing on to ligation

Ligation involves the formation of four phosphodiester bond.
Both the plasmid and lipase A were restricted using same restriction enzyme Xho1.
They were ligated with T4 ligase enzyme .

After the plates are checked for the presence of colonies they are to be patched in new LB/amp+ agar plates. This is done in the following way: Check the plate for presence of colonies Take a loop and with it take a colony form the
transformed plates and streak on a new LB/amp+ agar plates.
Mark the streaked places and allow it grow overnight After 12 hours check for the growth of colonies.
