Description

(1) Technical field

[0001] The invention belongs to the fields of genetic engineering and enzyme engineering, and relates to an amine dehydrogenase mutant with improved enzyme activity and thermal stability, an engineered bacterium, and application of the mutant in synthesizing (R)-3-aminobutanol. (2) Background technology

[0002] (R)-3-Aminobutanol is an important pharmaceutical intermediate with significant applications. It is a key intermediate in the synthesis of the chiral six-membered ring of the anti-AIDS drug Dolutegravir. It can also be derived into β-lactams and then into penicillin antibiotics, and has broad application value in the pharmaceutical field.

[0003] Currently, the synthesis of (R)-3-aminobutanol is primarily achieved through chemical methods. These methods primarily include chiral raw material synthesis, chemical induction, chiral resolution, and preparative chromatography. These methods suffer from complex procedures, severe pollution, harsh reaction conditions, and low regio / enantioselectivity.

[0004] Compared with chemical methods, bioenzymatic catalytic synthesis has the advantages of stereoselectivity, high catalytic efficiency, mild catalytic conditions and high atom utilization. It has been widely used in the industrial production of chiral chemicals such as pharmaceutical intermediates and fine chemicals. In recent years, transaminases (Catalysts.2018;8(7):254), lyases (Angewandte Chemie (Internationled.).2004;43:788-824), imine reductases (Organic processes reswarch & development.2019;23:1262-1268), and amine dehydrogenases (Angewandte Chemie (Internationaled.).2012;51:2969-3972) have been developed for the synthesis of chiral amines. In the reaction process of transaminases, different configurations of enzymes require different configurations of ammonia donors, resulting in a limited range of donor selection. In addition, the limitations of enzyme affinity, coenzyme binding, and the generation of reaction by-products have seriously restricted the application of transaminases. Lyases are also widely used in the preparation of chiral amines, such as in the synthesis of L-aspartic acid and alanine. However, lyases cannot mediate C-N bond formation in certain reactions, such as the synthesis of L-phenylalanine (Angewandte Chemie (Internationled.). 2004; 43: 788-824). Furthermore, the optimal pH of lyases differs significantly from that of cascade enzymes, severely limiting their widespread application. Imine reductases have low activity, an unclear catalytic mechanism, and are difficult to design semi-rationally. Their limited substrate range makes them difficult to apply in industrial production (Angewandte Chemie (Internationaled.). 2012; 51: 2969-3972).

[0005] Compared to other biocatalytic methods, (R)-selective amine dehydrogenase (ADE) can synthesize (R)-3-aminobutanol in a one-pot reaction using 4-hydroxy-2-butanone as a substrate and inorganic ammonia (such as ammonium chloride) as an amino donor. Coupled with a glucose dehydrogenase (GDH) cofactor regeneration system for hydrogen supply, it produces only H2O and gluconic acid as byproducts. These products are easily separable, meeting the requirements of green and sustainable production. It shows promising application prospects in the synthesis of various chiral amines and is expected to be applied in industrial production. However, current ADEs generally have low enzymatic activity and poor thermal stability, which cannot meet the requirements of practical applications.

[0006] Therefore, it is of great significance to develop highly active and thermally stable amine dehydrogenases to meet the biosynthesis of (R)-3-aminobutanol and other chiral amino alcohol compounds. (3) Summary of the invention

[0007] The present invention aims to provide an amine dehydrogenase mutant with improved enzyme activity and thermal stability, an engineered bacterium, and use thereof in the synthesis of (R)-3-aminobutanol. The present invention obtains an amine dehydrogenase mutant with synergistically improved enzyme activity and thermal stability through molecular modification, thereby solving the problem of low amine dehydrogenase activity and thermal stability.

[0008] The technical solution adopted in the present invention is:

[0009] The present invention provides an amine dehydrogenase mutant with improved enzyme activity and thermal stability. The mutant is obtained by subjecting the amino acids at positions 100 and 206 of the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID No. 1 (the nucleotide sequence of the encoding gene is shown in SEQ ID No. 2) to single or multiple mutations.

[0010] Furthermore, it is preferred that the amine dehydrogenase mutant is a mutant in which the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID No. 1 is mutated into one of the following: (1) the phenylalanine at position 100 is mutated into alanine, which is denoted as GKGBAmDH F100A The amino acid sequence is shown in SEQ ID No. 3, and the nucleotide sequence of the coding gene is shown in SEQ ID No. 4; (2) the asparagine at position 206 is mutated to alanine, denoted as GKGBAmDH N206A , the amino acid sequence is shown in SEQ ID No.5, and the nucleotide sequence of the coding gene is shown in SEQ ID No.6; (3) the phenylalanine at position 100 is mutated to alanine, and the asparagine at position 206 is mutated to alanine, denoted as GKGBAmDH F100A / N206A The amino acid sequence is shown in SEQ ID No.7, and the nucleotide sequence of the encoding gene is shown in SEQ ID No.8.

[0011] The last three codons tga in SEQ ID No. 2, SEQ ID No. 4, SEQ ID No. 6 and SEQ ID No. 8 of the present invention are terminators and do not participate in the editing of the amino acid sequence.

[0012] The present invention also provides a coding gene for the amine dehydrogenase mutant, a recombinant expression vector containing the coding gene, and a recombinant genetic engineering bacterium prepared by transforming the recombinant expression vector.

[0013] The recombinant expression vector can be constructed by ligating a nucleic acid encoding the mutant amine dehydrogenase gene of the present invention to various suitable vectors using conventional methods in the art. The vector can be any conventional vector in the art, such as commercially available plasmids, cosmids, phage, or viral vectors, as long as the recombinant expression vector can replicate normally in the corresponding expression host and express the mutant amine dehydrogenase. The mutant amine dehydrogenase gene can be operably linked downstream of appropriate regulatory sequences in the vector to achieve constitutive or inducible expression of the mutant amine dehydrogenase. The vector is preferably a plasmid, more preferably plasmid pET-28a. The host cell can be any conventional host cell in the art, as long as the recombinant expression vector can stably replicate and effectively express the target protein after induction with an inducer. Escherichia coli is the preferred host cell in the present invention, and E. coli BL21 (DE3) is more preferably used for efficient expression of the mutant amine dehydrogenase of the present invention. The recombinant expression transformant can be cultured using conventional methods and conditions in the art.

[0014] The present invention also provides an application of the amine dehydrogenase mutant in catalyzing the synthesis of (R)-3-aminobutanol from 4-hydroxy-2-butanone. The application method comprises the following steps: using wet bacteria obtained by fermentation culture of a recombinant genetically engineered bacterium containing a gene encoding the amine dehydrogenase mutant as a catalyst, using glucose dehydrogenase (GDH) as a coenzyme, using 4-hydroxy-2-butanone as a substrate, using glucose as a cosubstrate, and using NAD as a catalyst. + As a cofactor, a reaction system is formed with a buffer solution of pH 8.5 to 11.0 (preferably a 0.1 M NH4Cl / NH3·H2O buffer solution of pH 10.0) as a reaction medium, and the reaction is carried out at a temperature of 20 to 45° C. and a rotation speed of 1000 to 1500 rpm (preferably 40° C. and 1100 rpm). After the reaction is completed, the reaction solution is separated and purified to obtain (R)-3-aminobutanol.

[0015] Furthermore, in the reaction system, the catalyst dosage is 10-100 g / L (preferably 50 g-100 g / L, most preferably 50 g / L) based on the weight of the wet cells, the final substrate concentration is 50-300 mM (preferably 50-200 mM, more preferably 50 mM), the final cofactor concentration is 1-3 mM (preferably 3 mM), the final glucose concentration is 100-300 mM (preferably 200 mM), and the final glucose dehydrogenase concentration is 1-5 g / L (preferably 2 g / L). The glucose dehydrogenase is added in the form of lyophilized enzyme powder, with a specific enzyme activity of 56.12 U / mg.

[0016] Furthermore, the reaction medium is a 0.1M NH4Cl / NH3·H2O buffer solution with a pH of 10.0.

[0017] Furthermore, the catalyst is prepared according to the following method: a recombinant genetically engineered bacterium containing a gene encoding a mutant of amine dehydrogenase is inoculated into an LB solid culture medium containing 50 μg / mL of kanamycin, and cultured in a shaker at 37° C. and 180 rpm. When the OD600 of the culture solution reaches 0.6 to 0.8, isopropyl-β-D-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG) is added as an inducer at a final concentration of 0.1 to 0.5 mmol / L. After induction at 28° C. for 12 hours, the culture solution is centrifuged and the precipitate is collected to obtain the catalyst.

[0018] LB medium composition: peptone 10g / L, yeast extract 5g / L, NaCl 10g / L, solvent is water, pH natural. LB solid medium is prepared by adding 20g / L agar powder to the above LB liquid medium.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are mainly reflected in:

[0020] (1) The enzyme activity of the amine dehydrogenase mutant provided by the present invention has been significantly improved, from 55.3 U / g before mutation to 93.9 U / g, and the thermal stability has also been significantly improved, with the half-life increased from 9.0 h before mutation to 33.6 h, effectively solving the defects of the existing amine dehydrogenase with low activity and low thermal stability.

[0021] (2) The amine dehydrogenase mutant of the present invention is used as a catalyst to catalyze the synthesis of (R)-3-aminobutanol from 4-hydroxy-2-butanone using a "one-pot" reaction. The reaction begins after the substrate and enzyme are added, and the final product, (R)-3-aminobutanol, is directly obtained, resulting in low industrial cost. Furthermore, the initial raw material is 4-hydroxy-2-butanone, and the amino donor is inorganic ammonia, which is inexpensive. The catalyst can be prepared in large quantities by constructing genetically engineered Escherichia coli bacteria and then fermenting them, making it relatively easy and inexpensive.

[0022] (3) Compared with the parent, the amine dehydrogenase mutant provided by the present invention has better catalytic activity. Under the optimal system, the product yield of 200 mM substrate reached 89.04% after 24 hours of reaction, and the ee value reached 99.9%, providing a basis for the efficient preparation of (R)-3-aminobutanol.

[0026] The present invention is further described below with reference to specific embodiments, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto:

[0027] In the examples of the present invention, the term "AxxB" means that the amino acid A at position xx is changed to amino acid B, for example, "F100A" means that the phenylalanine F at position 69 is mutated to serine alanine A, and so on.

[0028] LB medium composition: peptone 10g / L, yeast extract 5g / L, NaCl 10g / L, solvent is water, pH natural. LB solid medium is prepared by adding 20g / L agar powder to the above LB liquid medium.

[0029] The specific enzyme activity of the glucose dehydrogenase (GDH) lyophilized powder in the embodiment is 56.12 U / mg, where the enzyme activity is defined as the amount of lyophilized enzyme powder required to convert 1 mmol of NADH per unit time, i.e., 1 minute.

The recombinant plasmid was transformed into E. coli BL21 (DE3) competent cells, spread on LB plates containing 50 μg / mL kanamycin resistance, and placed in a 37°C incubator for static culture for approximately 12 hours to obtain E. coli BL21 (DE3) / pET-28a-GKGBAmDH recombinant bacteria.

After incubation at 37°C and 180 rpm for another 2 hours, 0.1 mM isopropylthiogalactoside (IPTG) was added and the culture was continued at 28°C and 180 rpm for 12 hours. The wet cells were collected by centrifugation to obtain the wet cells of amine dehydrogenase, which were used in the study of catalytic synthesis of (R)-3-aminobutanol.

F100A As a template, the primers for amino acid mutation at position 206 in Table 1 were used to mutate the asparagine at position 206 of the amino acid sequence to alanine by whole-plasmid PCR. The DNA template was then removed by degradation with DpnI enzyme, and the mutant plasmid was transformed into E. coli BL21 (DE3) to obtain the recombinant genetically engineered bacteria E. coli BL21 (DE3)-pET28a-GKGBAmDH.
