The invention relates to the technical field of
biology, in particular to a beta-1, 4-galactosyl
transferase mutant and a method for biologically synthesizing
lactose-N-neotetraose by using the beta-1, 4-galactosyl
transferase mutant. The invention discloses a
protein, which is a
protein HpgalT-186 or a
protein HpgalT-146-186, a protein HpgalT-146 and a protein HpgalT-146. The protein HpgalT-186 is a protein obtained by mutating an
amino acid residue at the 186th site of a
wild type HpgalT; the protein HpgalT-146-186 is a protein obtained by carrying out
mutation on an
amino acid residue at the 186 site and an
amino acid residue at the 146 site of
wild type HpgalT. On the basis, a series of
escherichia coli is constructed and optimized, the yield of the LNnT synthesized through
shake flask fermentation of the finally obtained strain reaches 1.73-4.1 g / L, the highest yield in a 5L
fermentation tank reaches 20-45.2 g / L, and efficient synthesis of the LNnT is achieved.
