Abstract

The invention discloses an AraC mutant protein and an application thereof, and specifically relates to an application of AraC mutant protein in high throughput screening of strains capable of synthesizing tetrahydropyrimidine. The AraC mutant protein is represented by the sequence 3 of the sequence table. The gene which encodes the AraC mutant protein is also in the protective range of the invention. The AraC mutant protein can specifically bind with tetrahydropyrimidine, then the AraC mutant protein is induced by the tetrahydropyrimidine to trigger a PBAD promoter expression downstream reporter gene, then a corresponding relationship between the gene expression intensity and the tetrahydropyrimidine concentration is established, so that the strains with a high yield of tetrahydropyrimidine can be screened out through the fluorescent strength or color reactions. The method is a rapid and high-efficient high throughput screening method for screening bacterial strains with a high yield of tetrahydropyrimidine and will promote the development of tetrahydropyrimidine industrial application.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to an AraC mutant protein and its application, in particular to the application of the AraC mutant protein in high-throughput screening of strains that synthesize tetrahydropyrimidine. Background technique [0002] Tetrahydropyrimidine, the full name in Chinese is 1,4,5,6-tetrahydro-2-methyl-4-pyrimidine carboxylic acid, and the full name in English is 1,4,5,6-tetrahydro-2-methyl-4-pyrimidinecarbo xylic acid;ectoine. See formula (I) for the structural formula. [0003] [0004] Tetrahydropyrimidine is an osmotic pressure-compensating solute synthesized by microorganisms in response to environmental osmotic pressure. It can balance the osmotic pressure of cells and provide protection for enzymes, DNA, cell membranes and entire cells under high temperature, freezing and drying conditions. It can be used as cosmetic moisturizer and enzyme protein stabilizer, etc. It has a wide range of application prospects and development value in the fi...
