Abstract in Portuguese
A construção de bibliotecas metagenômicas tornou possível o acesso ao potencial biotecnológico de micro-organismos não cultiváveis. O solo é um habitat pouco explorado, com elevada diversidade bacteriana que possuem genes codificadores de enzimas de interesse industrial, chamadas de biocatalisadores naturais. Dentre estas, destacam-se as enzimas lipolíticas, lipases e esterases, por promoverem a hidrólise de matérias-primas de alto valor agregado e com muitas aplicações biotecnológica. Devido a necessidade, existe uma constante busca para isolar novos genes com diferentes especificações. Neste trabalho, o gene lip4, isolado de biblioteca metagenômica de solo, foi superexpresso, purificado e identificado como membro da família V das lipases bacterianas. Tem atividade ótima hidrolisando triacilglicerol de cadeia média em pH alcalino sem presença de íons. A estrutura cristalográfica obtida identificou o dobramento conservado das α/β hidrolases e a tríade catalítica, Ser94-Asp217-His245, além da presença do domínio CAP, comum nas esterases.

Abstract in English
Metagenomic libraries construction make possible the access to the biotechnological potential of not cultivated microorganisms. Soil environment has a big bacterial diversity with genes encoding industrial interest enzymes, named natural biocatalysts. Among these, lipolytic enzymes, that includes lipases and estarases, are able to catalyse different biochemistry reaction and promoting raw material hydrolysis with added values. In this overview, a search for new genes with different specifications, allowed isolation by functional screening in tributyrin agar, a gene lip4 from a soil metagenomic library. These gene was overexpressed, purified and identified as a member to family V of bacterial lipases. Presents better activity in alkaline pH with medium chain triacyglycerol without ions. Three dimensional structure of Lip4 identified a conserved α/β hydrolase backbone and the catalytic triad Ser94-Asp217-His245, besides the presence of CAP domain, common structure in esterase.
