Problems solved by technology

However, amino acid mutations are risky for proteins, and in a large part of cases, they will be inactivated after modification. Therefore, the modification of SpyCatcher may also lead to the inability to form isopeptide bonds with SpyTag normally, or affect the connection efficiency.

Embodiment 1

[0028] The present embodiment specifies a design method for SpyCatcher-21_A82P.

[0029] The original SpyCatcher protein crystal structure used in the embodiment is obtained from the PDB database, the PDB ID is 4mli.

[0030] The structure of SpyCatcher is imported into the calculation software Rosetta, the SpyCatcher is calculated, the surface potential is set to -21, and the mutant amino acid positions are set on the surface of the protein to obtain SpyCatcher-21. The 82-bit residue of SpyCatcher-21 was then introduced into the Pro to obtain the SpyCatcher-21_A82P mutant. as Figure 1 as shown.

[0031] ADBS and VMD are used to calculate the charge density on the surface of the protein, e.g Figure 2 、 Figure 3 As shown, it can be seen that the surface of the modified molecular peptide SpyCatcher-21 carries a large amount of charge, and the mutant SpyCatcher-21_A82P also has a large amount of charge on the surface, and the potential is the same as that of SpyCatcher-21.

Embodiment 2

[0033] The present embodiment specifies a purification method for SpyCatcher-21 and SpyCatcher-21_A82P mutants.

[0034] (1) The mutated molecular peptide was synthesized in Bioengineering (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. for whole gene synthesis, and the recombinant plasmid SC-21_A82P-pET-22b was obtained on the vector pET-22b, and the enzyme resection site was Nde I and Xho I, the host is E. coli E. coli BL21(DE3)。

[0035] (2) Will be with recombinant plasmid E. coliBL21 (DE3) was cultured in LB medium at 37 °C to OD600=0.6, 1 M of IPTG was added to the final concentration of 0.5 mM, and 20 °C was induced for 10 h.

[0036] (3) After the induction is over, 8000 rpm centrifugal bacterial fluid collects the bacterial body, and adds 3 mL of phosphoric acid buffer, shock resuspending, and sonically crush at 300 W for 10 min.

[0037] (4) Ultracentrifuge the crushing liquid at 12000 rpm, 4 °C for 10 min, take the supernatant, purify the protein in Ni-NTA resin, and set aside after dialysis in ...

Embodiment 3

[0039] The present embodiment tests the connection efficiency of SpyCatcher-21 at different pHs.

[0040] According to the final concentration of 10 μM Of SpyCatcher-21 and 30 μM of SpyTag-GFP mixed, respectively, pH = 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 buffer (0.1 M) in a 25 °C environment for 180 min, the connection efficiency was measured by SDS-PAGE.

[0041] Wherein the method of protein purification:

[0042] Drain 20% of the ethanol-protected liquid in the 1 mL Ni-NTA pre-loaded column and add 3-4 column volumes of BufferA to replace the ethanol in the filler. The ultracentrifuged protein sample is poured into the filler and drained. Add 3-4 column volumes of BufferA for elution, removing the heteropsy proteins adsorbed on the filler. Add another 3-4 column volume of BufferB to elute the protein of interest.

[0043] BufferA is a phosphate buffer with a pH of 8.0 0.1 M, dissolved with 500 mM of NaCl and 20 mM of imidazole;

[0044] BufferB is a phosphate buffer with a pH of 8.0 0.1 M dissolv...

Abstract

The invention discloses a molecular peptide mutant, the amino acid sequence of which is shown in SEQ ID NO:1. The present invention designs and transforms SpyCatcher on the basis of not affecting the formation of isopeptide bonds to obtain the molecular peptide SpyCatcher‑21 that is stimulatively responsive to pH, and introduces Pro into the key loop of SpyCatcher‑21 by analyzing the crystal structure to reduce the loop The flexibility of the mutant, SpyCatcher‑21_A82P, improves the connection efficiency, and can be used to obtain different degrees of coupling by changing the pH of the environment according to objective needs to obtain dual enzyme catalysis; or through electrostatic interaction with positively charged enzymes The interaction results in a catalytic system coupled with three enzymes.

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention belongs to the field of molecular peptide SpyCatcher design, more particularly, relates to a molecular peptide mutant. Background [0002] In 2010, the team of Mark Howarth of the Centre for Biochemistry at the University of Oxford, UK, worked on Streptococcus pseudospira ( Streptococcus pyogenes Polypeptide fragments that can spontaneously form isopeptide bonds are isolated in the hair protein, called SpyTag (13 amino acids) and SpyCatcher (116 amino acids), respectively, where SpyTag's Asp117 and SpyCatcher's Lys31 can be spontaneously dehydrated to form isopeptide bonds. SpyTag / SpyCatcher has been widely used in various fields, such as applications in the field of protein purification, protein display systems, etc. However, the original molecular peptide SpyTag / SpyCatcher has a wide range of reaction conditions and does not have the behavior of responding to stimuli in the external environment. Changes in charge density on the sur...
