Problems solved by technology

However, there are not many studies on the rational design and transformation of ALA synthetase. The only reports mainly involve the ALA synthase derived from eukaryotes. Turbeville et al. expressed two ALA synthetase derived from mouse fusion, Improve its catalytic efficiency (Turbeville et al.Archives of Biochemistry&Biophysics, 2011,511(1):107-117), Lendrihas et al. obtained ALA with improved enzyme activity by constructing a mutant library of ALA synthase II in mouse erythrocytes Synthetase mutant (Lendrihas et al. Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2010, 285(18): 13704)
Although the above studies obtained ALA synthase with improved enzyme activity, they did not study the thermostability and anti-heme feedback inhibition ability of the mutant enzyme, and did not use it for ALA biosynthesis

Abstract

The invention provides a 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) synthetase. The amino acid sequence of the ALA synthetase has mutation at the amino acid residues of the 40th site, the 365th site, the 75th site,the 29th site and the 44th site corresponding to the amino acid sequence as shown in SEQ ID NO:1. The ALA synthetase provided by the invention obviously improves the activity and also partially relieves the feedback inhibition of hemachrome. Furthermore, the invention also provides methods for preparing and modifying the ALA synthetase, an expression vector containing the ALA synthetase, host cells containing the ALA synthetase, and application of the ALA synthetase in ALA production.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of biotechnology. Specifically, the present invention relates to mutants of 5-aminolevulinic acid synthetase, host cells and applications thereof. Background technique [0002] 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-minolevulinic acid, ALA) is the precursor of tetrapyrrole compounds such as heme, chlorophyll, and VB12, which are widely found in animals, plants and microorganisms. ALA is widely used in the fields of medicine, agriculture, feed and health food, and is a high value-added bio-based chemical with great development value. At present, ALA is mainly produced by chemical synthesis, and the cost of raw materials and pollutant emissions are high, resulting in high production costs and limiting its large-scale application in agriculture, feed and other fields. In recent years, the production of ALA by microbial fermentation has been applied industrially. There are two main biosynthesis pathways for ALA, one is to sy...
