Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of biocatalysis, and particularly relates to an enzyme-catalyzed production method of D-psicose. Background Art

[0002] D-psicose is a diastereomer of fructose and a safe sweetener. Although its sweetness is only 70% of that of sucrose, the energy it produces is only 0.3% of that of sucrose, making it a truly low-energy sugar. In addition to its low energy content, D-psicose also has other physiological functions, such as being able to effectively prevent and treat obesity, diabetes, hyperlipidemia and other diseases. Therefore, it has great application value in the fields of food and medicine.

[0003] At present, the production of D-psicose in the market is mainly based on the single enzyme method, in which fructose is catalyzed by D-psicose-3-epimerase to produce D-psicose. Although the reaction process is simple and the product D-psicose can be obtained in one step, the price of fructose is relatively high, and there is a reaction equilibrium between fructose (i.e., substrate) and psicose (i.e., product), that is, the product / substrate ratio is about 20% to 35%, resulting in a limited conversion rate. Therefore, when using a single enzyme reaction to produce high-purity psicose, it is necessary to separate and remove high-concentration fructose from the reaction product. This process not only causes substrate waste, but also indirectly increases production costs due to its separation. In addition, although the prior art involves the use of multi-enzyme catalysis to produce D-psicose, the conversion rate of D-psicose is generally lower than 40% due to the different types and dosages of the composite enzymes used. At the same time, the generation of by-products other than the known glucose and fructose, and how to reduce the generation of by-products while ensuring the improvement of the conversion rate of D-psicose, have become constraints affecting the industrial promotion and application of D-psicose. Summary of the invention

[0004] The object of the present invention is to provide an enzymatic production method of D-psicose, thereby overcoming the shortcomings of the prior art and preparing D-psicose by a catalytic pathway of a multi-stage enzyme cascade reaction, which has the advantages of low cost, high conversion rate and few by-products, thereby achieving cost reduction and efficiency improvement, and is suitable for large-scale production of D-psicose. In order to achieve the above object, the technical solution of the present invention is: The present invention provides an enzymatic production method of D-psicose, which uses starch or dextrin as a substrate, adds a composite enzyme to the substrate to carry out an enzymatic reaction to synthesize D-psicose; The complex enzyme consists of alpha-glucan phosphorylase, glucose phosphomutase, glucose phosphomutase, psicose 6-phosphate-3-epimerase and psicose 6-phosphate phosphatase.

[0010] In some other embodiments, the metal ion is Mn 2+ , the concentration of the metal ions is 1-3 mM.

[0011] In some other embodiments, the concentration of the substrate is 50-300 g / L; the amount of the complex enzyme added is 0.3-0.6 wt %; The mass percentages of the α-glucan phosphorylase, phosphoglucomutase, phosphoglucoside isomerase, psicose 6-phosphate-3-epimerase and psicose 6-phosphate phosphatase are (0.1-0.15): (0.05-0.08): (0.05-0.08): (0.07-0.15): (0.07-0.15); The concentration of the α-glucan phosphorylase is 0.01-5 wt %; The concentration of the glucose phosphomutase is 0.01-5 wt %; The concentration of the glucose phosphotisomerase is 0.01-5 wt%; The concentration of the psicose 6-phosphate 3-epimerase is 0.01-5wt%; The concentration of the psicose 6-phosphate phosphatase is 0.01-5wt%.

[0012] In some other embodiments, the concentration of the substrate is 200-300 g / L; The concentration of the α-glucan phosphorylase is 1-3wt%; The concentration of the glucose phosphomutase is 0.5-1 wt%; The concentration of the glucose phosphotisomerase is 0.5-1 wt%; The concentration of the psicose 6-phosphate 3-epimerase is 1-2wt%; The concentration of the psicose 6-phosphate phosphatase is 1-2 wt %.

[0013] In some other embodiments, the α-glucan phosphorylase is α-glucan phosphorylase Uniprot ID: Q9SD76; The glucose phosphomutase is glucose phosphomutase Uniprot ID: Q68BJ6; The glucose phosphotisomerase is glucose phosphotisomerase Uniprot ID: P0A0T1; The psicose 6-phosphate 3-epimerase is psicose 6-phosphate 3-epimerase Uniprot ID: C4L7F4; The psicose 6-phosphate phosphatase is psicose 6-phosphate phosphatase Uniprot ID: Q9I433; Preferably, α-glucan phosphorylase UniprotID: Q9SD76, glucose phosphotyrosinase UniprotID: Q68BJ6, glucose phosphotyrosinase UniprotID: P0A0T1, psicose 6-phosphate 3-epimerase UniprotID: C4L7F4, psicose 6-phosphate phosphatase UniprotID: Q9I433 and pullulanase UniprotID: P36905 can be prepared by recombinant Escherichia coli monoclonal or derived from thermophilic bacteria, and these thermostable enzymes can withstand the heating step of the sugar production process, which inactivates harmful activities contained in the cell lysate subjected to the conversion process. This heat inactivation step reduces the chance of microbial contamination negatively impacting production operations; for example, the α-glucan phosphorylase UniprotID: Q9SD76 is derived from Arabidopsis thaliana; the glucose phosphotyrosinase UniprotID: Q68BJ6 is derived from Thermococcus kodakarensis; the glucose phosphotyrosinase UniprotID: P0A0T1 is derived from Xanthomonas citri; the allulose 6-phosphate 3-epimerase UniprotID: C4L7F4 is derived from Tolumonas auensis; the allulose 6-phosphate phosphatase UniprotID: Q9I433 is derived from Pseudomonas aeruginosa; the pullulanase UniprotID: P36905 is derived from Thermoanaerobacterium pseudoethanolic thermoanaerobic bacteria saccharolyticum).

[0014] The inventors discovered during the research process that pullulanase (Pul) can decompose the long chains of starch or dextrin when used to treat starch or dextrin. Unlike isoamylase, pullulanase can decompose the smallest unit of branched chains to maximize the utilization of starch or dextrin. Although isoamylase can also hydrolyze the α-1,6 glycosidic bonds at branch points, it cannot hydrolyze side branches composed of 2 to 3 glucose residues. Pullulanase can process the substrate more thoroughly, so that subsequent reactions can make more full use of the substrate.

[0015] α-glucan phosphorylase (α-GP) is used to convert starch or dextrin into glucose-1-phosphate; Phosphoglucomutase (PGM) is used to convert glucose-1-phosphate into glucose-6-phosphate; Glucose-6-phosphate isomerase (PGI) is used to convert glucose-6-phosphate into fructose-6-phosphate; Allulose-6-phosphate 3-epimerase (A6PE) is used to convert fructose-6-phosphate into psicose-6-phosphate. During the experiment, the inventors also found that in addition to converting fructose-6-phosphate into psicose-6-phosphate, psicose-3-epimerase can also convert the product psicose into fructose; if the reverse reaction enzyme activity of psicose-6-phosphate-3-epimerase is very high, it will make it difficult to increase the conversion rate of the product. Therefore, it is necessary to screen a psicose-6-phosphate-3-epimerase with a specific UniProt number and strong substrate specificity for subsequent reactions; Allulose-6-phosphate phosphatase (A6PP) is used to dephosphorylate the phosphate groups of psicose-6-phosphate and convert it into psicose. During the experiment, the inventors also found that the selectivity of psicose-6-phosphate phosphatase for psicose-6-phosphate was different. This is because psicose-6-phosphate phosphatase can simultaneously dephosphorylate the phosphate groups of glucose-6-phosphate, fructose-6-phosphate and even glucose-1-phosphate, and convert them into byproducts glucose and fructose; it will also make it difficult to improve the conversion rate of the product. Therefore, it is necessary to screen a psicose-6-phosphate phosphatase with a specific Uniprot number and strong substrate specificity for subsequent reactions.

[0016] The addition of metal ions can promote the reaction because metal ions have the following functions: stabilizing the molecular conformation required for the catalytic activity of the enzyme protein; as a component of the active center of the enzyme, participating in the construction of the active center of the enzyme; acting as a bridge, chelating the substrate molecule with the enzyme protein.

[0017] Beneficial effects of the present invention: The present invention utilizes a multi-enzyme catalytic system and a one-pot method to produce D-psicose using starch or dextrin as a substrate. The method has low cost and a conversion rate of up to 66.63%, and is suitable for large-scale production. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0025] Transformants were picked on LB solid medium to obtain recombinant Escherichia coli BL21-Trxb(DE3) / pET32a-GP (Uniprot: Q9SD76), BL21-Trxb(DE3) / pET32a-PGI (Uniprot: Q68BJ6), BL21-Trxb(DE3) / pET32a-PGM (Uniprot: P0A0T1), BL21-Trxb(DE3) / pET32a-A6PE (Uniprot: C4L7F4, Uniprot: P32719, Uniprot: B7MJV9, Uniprot: A0A286BT41, Uniprot: F4T7D9, Uniprot: A0A222WNN1, Uniprot: G7LT81 or Uniprot: A0A0A2XT86), BL21-Trxb(DE3) / pET32a-A6PP (Uniprot: Q9I433, Uniprot: P64636, Uniprot: Q9NPB1 or Uniprot: P78330), BL21-Trxb(DE3) / pET32a-IA (Uniprot: P10342), BL21-Trxb(DE3) / pET32a-Pul (Uniprot:P38939, Uniprot:Q9F930 or Uniprot:P36905).

[0026] Example 2 Enzyme preparation Recombinant E. coli BL21-Trxb(DE3) / pET32a- GP (Uniprot: Q9SD76), BL21-Trxb(DE3) / pET32a-PGI (Uniprot: Q68BJ6), BL21-Trxb(DE3) / pET32a-PGM (Uniprot: P0A0T1), BL21-Trxb(DE3) / pET32a-A6PE (Uniprot: C4L7F4, Uniprot: P32719, Uniprot: B7MJV9, Uniprot: A0A286BT41, Uniprot: F4T7D9, Uniprot: A0A222WNN1, Uniprot: G7LT81 or Uniprot: A0A0A2XT86) were picked from the plate. pET32a-A6PP (Uniprot: Q9I433, Uniprot: P64636, Uniprot: Q9NPB1 or Uniprot: P78330), BL21-Trxb(DE3) / pET32a-IA (Uniprot: P10342), BL21-Trxb(DE3) / pET32a-Pul (Uniprot: P38939, Uniprot: Q9F930 or Uniprot: P36905) monoclones were inoculated (directly insert the pipette tip into the test tube) into a test tube containing 5 mL of LB liquid medium with resistance, and cultured at 37°C, 200 rpm overnight (about 16 h).

[0027] Take 5 mL of overnight cultured seed culture and transfer it to a shake flask containing 500 ml of LB liquid medium with resistance. Cultivate at 37°C and 200 rpm until OD600 reaches about 0.4-0.6 (about 3 h). Add 5 μL of 1 M IPTG solution to the test tube to make the final IPTG concentration reach 0.1 mM. Induce overnight at 25°C and 180 rpm.

[0028] The overnight cultured cells were centrifuged and collected. The bacterial sludge was weighed and resuspended in a ratio of 0.2 g of cells to 1 mL of reaction buffer. The bacterial suspension was broken with an ultrasonic disruptor, ultrasonicated for 3 s, paused for 2 s, and lasted for 3 min (the time can be adjusted according to the size of the ultrasonic volume). After centrifugation of the ultrasonic system, the supernatant obtained was the enzyme solution of the recombinant strain, namely, α-glucan phosphorylase GP (Uniprot: Q9SD76), glucose phosphomutase PGI (Uniprot: Q68BJ6), glucose phosphotisomerase PGM (Uniprot: P0A0T1), allulose-6-phosphate-3-epimerase A6PE (Uniprot: C4L7F4, Uniprot: P32719, Uniprot: B7MJV9, Uniprot: A0A286BT41, Uniprot: prot: F4T7D9, Uniprot: A0A222WNN1, Uniprot: G7LT81 or Uniprot: A0A0A2XT86), psicose-6-phosphate phosphatase A6PP (Uniprot: Q9I433, Uniprot: P64636, Uniprot: Q9NPB1 or Uniprot: P78330), amylase IA (Uniprot: P10342) and pullulanase Pul (Uniprot: P38939, Uniprot: Q9F930 or Uniprot: P36905).

[0029] Example 3 Selection of Psicose 6-phosphate phosphatase (A6PP) During the research, it was found that the selectivity of allulose-6-phosphate phosphatase (A6PP) for allulose-6-phosphate varies greatly. Allulose-6-phosphate phosphatase can simultaneously dephosphorylate the phosphate groups of glucose-6-phosphate, fructose-6-phosphate and even glucose-1-phosphate, converting them into byproducts glucose and fructose. Therefore, it is necessary to screen out a allulose-6-phosphate phosphatase that has high selectivity for allulose-6-phosphate and poor selectivity for glucose-6-phosphate, fructose-6-phosphate and even glucose-1-phosphate.

[0030] The reaction system involved in the embodiment is a dextrin final concentration of 300 g / L, Mn 2+The final concentration was 2 mM, and the α-glucan phosphorylase GP (Uniprot: Q9SD76), glucose phosphoglucomutase PGI (Uniprot: Q68BJ6), glucose phosphophisomerase PGM (Uniprot: P0A0T1), allulose-6-phosphate-3-epimerase A6PE (Uniprot: C4L7F4), and allulose-6-phosphate phosphatase A6PP (Uniprot: Q9I433, Uniprot: P64636, Uniprot: Q9NPB1 or Uniprot: P78330) used were all prepared in Example 2 above.

[0031] Based on the determination of α-glucan phosphorylase GP (Uniprot: Q9SD76), glucose phosphomutase PGI (Uniprot: Q68BJ6), glucose phosphomimerase PGM (Uniprot: P0A0T1), and psicose-6-phosphate-3-epimerase A6PE (Uniprot: C4L7F4), the selectivity of four psicose-6-phosphate phosphatases A6PP (Uniprot: Q9I433, Uniprot: P64636, Uniprot: Q9NPB1, or Uniprot: P78330) for psicose-6-phosphate was screened, that is, 100 μl of the four psicose 6-phosphate phosphatases A6PP (Uniprot: Q9I433, Uniprot: P64636, Uniprot: Q9NPB1, or Uniprot: P78330) were taken, respectively, and KPB 7.0 buffer was added to make up the reaction system to 1. ml.

[0032] The reaction system described in the above example was placed in a constant temperature reactor at 60°C for reaction, and the rotation speed was set to 700 rpm. After 18 h of reaction, samples were taken and HPLC detection was performed. The results are shown in Table 1. Uniprot: Q9I433 was selected as the allulose 6-phosphate phosphatase (A6PP) in the reaction process.

[0033] Table 1 Reaction results of different psicose 6-phosphate phosphatases

[0034] Example 4 Selection of Psicose 6-phosphate 3-epimerase (A6PE) enzyme During the research, it was found that in addition to converting fructose-6-phosphate into allulose-6-phosphate, allulose 6-phosphate 3-epimerase can also convert the product allulose into fructose. At this time, it is necessary to screen for allulose 6-phosphate 3-epimerase (A6PE) that has a strong effect on converting fructose-6-phosphate into allulose-6-phosphate, but a weak effect on converting allulose into fructose.

[0035] The reaction system involved in the embodiment is a dextrin final concentration of 300 g / L, Mn 2+ The final concentration was 2 mM, and the α-glucan phosphorylase GP (Uniprot: Q9SD76), glucose phosphomutase PGI (Uniprot: Q68BJ6), glucose phosphomutase PGM (Uniprot: P0A0T1), allulose-6-phosphate phosphatase A6PP (Uniprot: Q9I433), and allulose-6-phosphate-3-epimerase A6PE (Uniprot: C4L7F4, Uniprot: P32719, Uniprot: B7MJV9, Uniprot: A0A286BT41, Uniprot: F4T7D9, Uniprot: A0A222WNN1, Uniprot: G7LT81 or Uniprot: A0A0A2XT86) used were all prepared in Example 2 above.

[0036] Based on the determination of α-glucan phosphorylase GP (Uniprot: Q9SD76), glucose phosphomutase PGI (Uniprot: Q68BJ6), glucose phosphomonomerase PGM (Uniprot: P0A0T1), and psicose-6-phosphate phosphatase A6PP (Uniprot: Q9I433), eight psicose-6-phosphate-3-epimerase A6PE (Uniprot: C4L7F4, Uniprot: P32719, Uniprot: B7MJV9, Uniprot: A0A286BT41, Uniprot: F4T7D9, Uniprot: A0A222WNN1, Uniprot: G7LT81, or Uniprot: A0A0A2XT86) were screened for their selectivity for psicose-6-phosphate, that is, 100% of each sample was taken. μl of eight kinds of psicose-6-phosphate-3-epimerase A6PE (Uniprot: C4L7F4, Uniprot: P32719, Uniprot: B7MJV9, Uniprot: A0A286BT41, Uniprot: F4T7D9, Uniprot: A0A222WNN1, Uniprot: G7LT81 or Uniprot: A0A0A2XT86), and KPB 7.0 buffer was added to make up the reaction system to 1 ml.

[0037] The reaction system described in the above embodiment was placed in a constant temperature reactor at 60°C for reaction, and the rotation speed was set to 700 rpm. After the reaction for 18 h, samples were taken and HPLC detection was performed. The results are shown in Table 2. Table 2 Reaction results of different psicose 6-phosphate 3-epimerase

[0038] The reaction system described in the above example was placed in a constant temperature reactor at 60° C. for reaction, and the rotation speed was set to 700 rpm. After 18 h of reaction, samples were taken and HPLC detection was performed. The results are shown in Table 3. The effects of psicose 6-phosphate 3-epimerase on the conversion of fructose-6-phosphate to psicose-6-phosphate and the conversion of the product psicose to fructose were different. The above experiment was intended to screen out an enzyme that has a strong effect on the conversion of fructose-6-phosphate to psicose-6-phosphate but a weak effect on the conversion of the product psicose to fructose. Based on the results of Tables 1 and 2, Uniprot:C4L7F4 was selected as the psicose 6-phosphate 3-epimerase in the reaction process.

[0039] Table 3 Reaction results of different psicose 6-phosphate 3-epimerase with psicose as substrate

[0040] Example 5 Reaction substrate pretreatment During the reaction, it was found that after a certain degree of reaction, the utilization rate of starch or dextrin would decrease. The reason may be that polar dextrin and other substrates that cannot be reused will appear at the end of the reaction. At this time, the substrate needs to be pretreated, and isoamylase or pullulanase needs to be added to enzymatically hydrolyze the substrate, especially when the amount of substrate is relatively high.

[0041] The reaction system involved in the embodiment is that the final concentration of dextrin is 300 g / L, amylase IA (Uniprot: P10342) or pullulanase Pul (Uniprot: P38939, Uniprot: Q9F930 or Uniprot: P36905) prepared in the above Example 2, 100 μl of each is added, and the mixture is treated at 80°C for 5 h, and Mn 2+ The final concentration was 2 mM, and the complex enzymes were α-glucan phosphorylase GP (Uniprot: Q9SD76), glucose phosphomutase PGI (Uniprot: Q68BJ6), glucose phosphomitomerase PGM (Uniprot: P0A0T1), allulose-6-phosphate phosphatase A6PP (Uniprot: Q9I433) and allulose-6-phosphate-3-epimerase A6PE (Uniprot: C4L7F4), 100 μl was added respectively, and KPB 7.0 buffer was added to make the reaction system up to 1 ml. HPLC detection was performed, and the results are shown in Table 4.

[0042] Table 4 Reaction results of different amylases

[0043] The reaction system described in the above embodiment was placed in a constant temperature reactor at 60°C for reaction, and the rotation speed was set to 700 rpm. After 18 hours of reaction, samples were taken and HPLC detection was performed. The results can be seen from Table 4 that the effect of isoamylase is weaker than that of pullulanase, among which Uniprot: P36905 had the best treatment effect of 45.33%.

[0044] Example 6 Optimization of reaction temperature In this reaction process, it was found that the higher the reaction temperature, the more conducive it is to the dissolution of the substrate. The solubilizing effect of high temperature is conducive to the forward progress of the reaction, but high temperature can easily lead to enzyme inactivation, so the reaction needs to find the most suitable reaction temperature.

[0045] The reaction system involved in the embodiment is that the final concentration of dextrin is 300 g / L, Pul (Uniprot: P36905) prepared in the above Example 5 is added with 100 μl, and the mixture is treated at 80°C for 5 h. 2+ The final concentration was 2 mM. The final composite enzyme screened based on Examples 3 and 4 was α-glucan phosphorylase GP (Uniprot: Q9SD76), glucose phosphomutase PGI (Uniprot: Q68BJ6), glucose phosphomutase PGM (Uniprot: P0A0T1), allulose-6-phosphate phosphatase A6PP (Uniprot: Q9I433) and allulose-6-phosphate-3-epimerase A6PE (Uniprot: C4L7F4), 100 μl of each was added, and KPB 7.0 buffer was added to make up the reaction system to 1 ml.

[0046] The reaction system described in the above embodiment was placed in a constant temperature reactor at 60°C, 65°C, and 70°C for reaction, and the rotation speed was set to 700 rpm. After 18 h of reaction, samples were taken and HPLC detection was performed. The results are shown in Table 5. Table 5 Reaction results at different reaction temperatures

[0047] The results showed that the highest conversion rate of D-psicose was 40.64% at a reaction temperature of 65°C.

[0048] Example 7 Optimization of reaction buffer concentration In this reaction process, phosphate ions will participate in the reaction process and are essential for the reaction. However, excessive phosphate ions will inhibit the forward progress of the reaction, so the concentration of the buffer needs to be optimized.

[0053] Example 9 Optimization of enzyme amounts between different enzymes The reaction system involved in the embodiment is that the final concentration of dextrin is 300 g / L, P36905 is 100 μl of the crude enzyme solution prepared in the above Example 2, and the mixture is treated at 80°C for 5 h. 2+ The final concentration was 2 mM. The complex enzymes were α-glucan phosphorylase GP (Uniprot: Q9SD76), phosphoglucomutase PGI (Uniprot: Q68BJ6), phosphoglucoside isomerase PGM (Uniprot: P0A0T1), psicose-6-phosphate phosphatase A6PP (Uniprot: Q9I433) and psicose-6-phosphate-3-epimerase A6PE (Uniprot: C4L7F4).

[0056] Example 10 The inventors found that the impurities produced during the reaction included not only the known glucose and fructose, but also the impurities with a peak at 13.58 min in the HPLC liquid phase diagram, such as Figure 1As shown, the substance at 12.067min is glucose, the peak at 13.583min is an impurity, the peak at 14.9min is fructose, and the peak at 22.1min is allulose. The impurity at the peak at 13.583min not only affects the conversion rate, but also affects the subsequent separation and extraction. Therefore, it is necessary to consider controlling the generation of this impurity during the reaction. In addition, during the study, it was found that the impurity at 13.58 min would change with the amount of glucose phosphotisomerase PGM (Uniprot: P0A0T1) enzyme: when the amount of glucose phosphotisomerase PGM (Uniprot: P0A0T1) enzyme is low, the peak of this impurity is lower, but when the amount of glucose phosphotisomerase PGM (Uniprot: P0A0T1) enzyme is too low, it will affect the conversion rate of D-allulose, so the amount of glucose phosphotisomerase PGM (Uniprot: P0A0T1) enzyme needs to be further optimized.

[0057] The reaction system involved in the embodiment is that the final concentration of dextrin is 300 g / L, P36905 is 100 μl of the crude enzyme solution prepared in the above Example 2, and the mixture is treated at 80°C for 5 h. 2+ The final concentration was 2 mM. The complex enzymes were α-glucan phosphorylase GP (Uniprot: Q9SD76), phosphoglucomutase PGI (Uniprot: Q68BJ6), phosphoglucoside isomerase PGM (Uniprot: P0A0T1), psicose-6-phosphate phosphatase A6PP (Uniprot: Q9I433) and psicose-6-phosphate-3-epimerase A6PE (Uniprot: C4L7F4). The amounts shown in the table below were added respectively, and KPB 7.0 buffer was added to make up the reaction system to 1 ml.

[0058] The reaction system described in the above embodiment was placed in a constant temperature reactor at 65°C for reaction, and the rotation speed was set to 700 rpm. After 18 hours of reaction, samples were taken and HPLC detection was performed. The results are shown in Tables 9 and 10.

[0061] It can be seen that when the glucose phosphotisomerase PGM (Uniprot: P0A0T1) is reduced to 0.01wt%, the impurity peak area can be reduced by more than 3 times, and the conversion rate of allulose is increased to 66.63%.
