Problems solved by technology

[0004] In addition to product / substrate tolerance, in the catalytic hydration process of microbial production of acrylamide, another major problem that restricts production efficiency is the poor heat resistance of enzyme-producing cells, and the hydration temperature must be controlled by low-temperature refrigerants. 15-22℃
Since nitrile hydratase catalyzes the hydration of acrylonitrile to form acrylamide is a strong exothermic reaction, the supply of cooling capacity for temperature control in industrial production is often insufficient, resulting in fluctuations in the hydration temperature above 25 °C

Embodiment 1

[0032] Embodiment 1: Nitrile hydratase SBMDB gene replacement process after transformation

[0033] (1) Using the plasmid pNV-SBM (Chen Jie et al., Catalytic Kinetics of Recombinant Nitrile Hydratase Coupled with Terminal Salt Bridge and Site-directed Mutation. Acta Chemical and Chemical Industry, 2014, 65(7): 2821-2828) as template, reverse polymerization Enzyme chain reaction (PCR) method for gene mutation. The substitution Aspβ215Cys was first introduced to the β subunit of the nitrile hydratase SBM.

[0040] The obtained PCR amplification products were recovered using the E.Z.N.A.Gel Extraction Kit produced by OMEGA Biotek, and the recovery process was completed according to the process described in the instructions. The obtained DNA fragme...

Embodiment 2

[0047] Example 2: Construction of transformed nitrile hydratase transformants and expression of transformed nitrile hydratase in transformants

[0048] The plasmid PNV-SBMDB of the modified nitrile hydratase gene (shown in SEQ ID NO: 3) obtained in Example 1 was transferred into the host bacterium Rhodococcus ruber R. ruber TH3 by electroporation. The transformant was screened with a rhodococcus plate medium containing 25 mg / L of kanamycin to obtain the transformant R.ruber TH3 / pNV-SBMDB.

[0049] The obtained expression strain R.ruberTH3 / pNV-SBMDB was cultured by shake flask fermentation. First inoculate in Rhodococcus seed culture medium containing 25mg / L kanamycin, and culture at 28°C and 200rpm for 36h.

[0050] Inoculate 10% of the cultured seed liquid into the Rhodococcus fermentation medium, and cultivate at 28° C. and 200 rpm for 48 hours. The resulting cells were assayed for enzyme activity.

[0051] The composition of Rhodococcus plate medium is: glucose 10g / L, ye...

[0056] Embodiment 3: the stress resistance assessment of nitrile hydratase after transformation

[0057] The 50mL expression bacterial strain R.ruber TH3 / pNV-SBMDB cell (expression transforming nitrile hydratase) and the control bacterial strain R.ruber TH3 / pNV-SBM cell of harvest in embodiment 2 are washed once with deionized water of equal volume, again Suspend in an equal volume of 10 mM PBS buffer.

[0058] Take 5 mL of the resuspended cells and place them in a water bath at 60°C for 10 min. The residual enzyme activity of modified nitrile hydratase and unmodified nitrile hydratase was measured, and the results showed that the residual enzyme activity of modified nitrile hydratase was 69.40%, while that of unmodified nitrile hydratase was only 29.47%. The thermostability of the modified nitrile hydratase was significantly improved (such as figure 2 ).

Abstract

The invention discloses modified nitrile hydratase and application thereof in the technical field of enzyme engineering and industrial microorganisms. A method for obtaining the modified nitrile hydratase disclosed by the invention is that Pro of 133 site of a alpha subunit of an amino acid sequence shown as by a sequence table SEQ ID NO:2 and Asp of 215 site of a beta subunit of an amino acid sequence shown as by a sequence table SEQ ID NO:1 are respectively replaced with Cys, so that a disulfide bond is formed between the two subunits. Stress resistance and heat resistance of the modified nitrile hydratase disclosed by the invention and product tolerance are all obviously improved, and activity of the nitrile hydratase is not lowered. The modified nitrile hydratase can be catalyzed to obtain a high-concentration acrylamide product, and can be recycled repeatedly.
