The invention discloses a
glycosyltransferase mutant and a method for catalytically synthesizing
rebaudioside A by using the same. The
amino acid sequence of original
glycosyltransferase is SEQ ID NO:1. According to the experiment, Asn196, Asn78, Asn400, Asn69, Gln72, Gln198, Gln178, Gln160 and Thr319 are screened on the basis of prediction obtained by starting from surface residues Q, N and T ofUGT76G1 and combining
data analysis results of
solvent accessible surface area, B-factor and the like, and finally, a UGT-SuSy
system of the better
mutant strain 76G1_Q72E-N196D-T319E is screened outby virtue of single-point or multi-point iterative
mutation in Thr81, so as to realize efficient catalytic synthesis of the
rebaudioside A. The
glycosyltransferase UGT76G1 or a
mutant gene thereof isconnected with a
sucrose synthase
gene to obtain a recombinant
plasmid, and a double-
enzyme co-expressed recombinant strain is constructed. By constructing a double-
enzyme system, regeneration of in-vivo UDPG is realized, the problem of sources of expensive
glycosyl donors is effectively solved, the cost is reduced, and application of
biotechnology industry is promoted. The mutant is simple to prepare, the
rebaudioside A is synthesized through efficient
catalysis in a short time, and the biological
enzyme catalysis method is green,
environmentally friendly and
pollution-free and is more suitable for current green industrial
processing and production.
