The present invention relates to a detoxifizyme with the activity of
transforming aflatoxin and the gene encodes thereof. Firstly a novel
protein is isolated and purified, named aflatoxin-detoxifizyme (ADTZ),
which has the activity of transforming aflatoxin. The ADTZ gene is
obtained through specific primers, and the gene is purified and
sequenced. The gene encoding of ADTZ is cloned from the total RNA of
Armillariella tabescens. The recombinant protein is expressed and
purified through various expression systems using genetic engineering
methods. The said detoxifizyme has bioactivity of transforming AFB.sub.1,
reducing mutagenic effects of AFB.sub.1. It has great potential for the
manufacturing of feed or food and development of anti-tumor medicament.
