[0002] The steric hindrance of cyclic α-hydroxyketones and their downstream products cyclic β-amino alcohols gives them certain biological activities and they are often used as key building blocks for the synthesis of antiviral and antagonist drugs. For example, the cholecystokinin (CCK-B) receptor antagonist (CI-1015) contains (1 S ,2 S )-trans-2-aminocyclohexanol, which can be used to treat anxiety and panic disorders; the synthesis of phosphodiesterase III inhibitors and antiarrhythmic drugs vernakalant requires (1 R ,2 R )-trans-2-aminocyclohexanol. Therefore, the green and efficient synthesis of optically pure cyclic α-hydroxyketones has good application prospects.
[0003] According to existing literature reports, cyclic α-hydroxyketones and cyclic β-amino alcohols are usually produced using an enzyme cascade catalysis method. First, the epoxy compound is hydrolyzed by epoxide hydrolase to form a vicinal diol; then, the vicinal diol is selectively oxidized by 2,3-butanediol dehydrogenase to form an α-hydroxyketone; finally, the α-hydroxyketone is further oxidized by a transaminase to form a β-amino alcohol. The production methods previously reported in the literature all used Bacillus subtilis as the source ( Bacillus subtilis 2,3-Butanediol dehydrogenase ( Bs BHD) catalyzes the oxidation of vicinal diols to α-hydroxy ketones.

[0050] The single point mutations T22V, N61G, Q112N, A230R, T258G, A260M, I280L, R285K, and E335D that improve thermal stability were randomly combined (the thermal stability data of the single point mutations are shown in Table 1). The random combination process used Gibson assembly: (1) The nine sites were divided into three groups according to the principle of site proximity, with T22V, N61G, and Q112N as the first fragment and A2 as the second fragment. 30R, T258G, A260M are the second fragment, I280L, R285K, E335D are the third fragment, and T22V, N61G, Q112N are taken as examples.

[0078] (2 R ,3 R )-butanediol was used as the substrate and heat inactivation treatment was carried out in a water bath at 37°C for 120 min. The ratio of the specific enzyme activity after heat treatment to the specific enzyme activity before heat treatment was the residual enzyme activity.
[0079] The three combined mutants with the highest half-lives screened out all had six-point mutations: T22V / N61G / Q112N / A230R / A260M / I280L, T22V / Q112N / A230R / T258G / A260M / I280L, and T22V / N61G / A230R / T258G / A260M / I280L, named 6M1, 6M2, and 6M3, respectively. They retained 92.6%, 92.2%, and 87.5% of enzyme activity after treatment in a water bath at 37°C for 120 min, while the wild type had only 10.5% residual enzyme activity under the same heat treatment conditions (e.g., Figure 1 shown). T m The results of the value determination are shown (such as Figure 2 As shown in Figure 3), 6M1, 6M2, and 6M3 increased by 10.1°C, 9.1°C, and 9.4°C, respectively, compared to the wild type. 6M1, 6M2, and 6M3 were purified and tested for their effects on cis -CHD catalytic activity, 6M2 cis The specific enzyme activity of -CHD was better than that of 6M1 and 6M3, at 0.91 U / mg, which was 1.78 times that of the wild type (0.51 U / mg). Figure 3 ), the present invention will use 6M2 as the basis for subsequent substrate binding pocket modification.
[0080] Example 2 Improving the catalytic activity of 6M2 through a semi-rational design strategy
[0081] F115, L118 and Y293 and substrate cis -CHD is close, F115, L118 and the substrate form hydrophobic interactions, affecting the binding of the substrate six-membered ring; while Y293 forms a hydrogen bond with the hydroxyl group of the substrate, playing a positioning role for the hydroxyl group. Therefore, in this Example 2, the mutants were determined to be cis -CHD activity was modified by iterative saturation mutagenesis. The specific screening method is as follows: the saturation mutation PCR product was transformed into E. coli In BL21 (DE3) competent cells, the PCR method was consistent with that in Example 1. After incubation for 12 hours, single clones were picked and transferred to 96-well deep-well plates with 800 μL of LB medium per well. The cells were shaken at 37°C for 4 hours, and IPTG was added to induce the cells at a final concentration of 1 mM. The cells were shaken at 18°C for 18 hours, and 100 μL of the bacterial solution was aspirated and the OD was measured at 600 nm. 600 Centrifuge at 220 rpm for 10 min, collect the cells and remove the supernatant, place on ice, add 200 μL of Tris-HCl lysis buffer containing 1% Triton X-ray, pH 8.0 to a 96-well deep-well plate and resuspend the cells. Lyse for 5 min. Pipette 193 μL of lysis buffer and 5 μL of 500 mM cis -CHD, 2 µL 50 mM NAD + Mix well and measure the absorbance change ΔOD at 340 nm 340 ΔOD 340 / OD 600 The ones that are larger than the parent are screened and matched. cis -CHD mutants with improved catalytic activity.
[0082] from Figure 4 It can be seen that the 6M2 / Y293S pair was screened in the first round of screening. cis The catalytic activity of -CHD was slightly improved to 0.61 U / mg. Therefore, a second round of iterative saturation mutagenesis was performed based on 6M2 / Y293S, and the catalytic activity of 6M2 / Y293S / L118F was further improved to 0.80 U / mg.

[0084]
[0085] Example 3 Exploration of methods and conditions for introducing non-natural amino acids
[0086] 1. Effect of His tag position on protein purification
[0087] The non-natural amino acids were introduced into the system using the gene codon expansion technology based on stop codon suppression. Mb PylRS-IPE / tRNA CUA system, through pULTRA- Mb PylRS-IPE and pET-28a(+)- Bs BDH cotransfection E. coli The BL21(DE3) strain was constructed, in which the IPE was the MbPylRS / N311A / C313A / V31I / T56P / A100E mutant.
[0088] Due to the limitation of the efficiency of introducing non-natural amino acids, there are truncated proteins in the induced expressed proteins due to the termination of expression by TAG codon. If the 6×His tag is expressed at the N-terminus of the protein, the truncated expressed protein will be mixed in the system after protein purification. In this experiment, the 6×His tag was moved from the N-terminus to the C-terminus by PCR (e.g. Figure 5 As shown in Figure 3 ), only the protein expressed to the C-terminus contains a 6×His tag. Therefore, protein purification can yield intact protein with the correct incorporation of unnatural amino acids.
[0089] Table 5 Primers used for 6×His tag position change
[0090]
[0091] In addition, pET-28a(+)- Bs The site where the non-natural amino acid needs to be introduced on BDH is mutagenized to TAG, and pET-28a(+)- Bs BDH and pULTRA- Mb 100 ng of each PylRS-IPE plasmid was added to 100 μL of competent cells and the heat shock transformation process was followed. The bacterial solution was finally spread on a culture plate containing Kan (50 μg / mL) and Spe (50 μg / mL) and cultured at 37°C for 12 h. A single colony was picked for culture and preserved with 25% glycerol and stored in a -80°C refrigerator.
[0092] The introduction of unnatural amino acids was performed as follows: 10 μL of the unnatural amino acid introduction strain stored at -80°C was inoculated into 5 mL of LB liquid medium containing Kan (50 μg / mL) and Spe (50 μg / mL), and cultured at 37°C and 220 rpm for 8 h. 5 mL of the bacterial solution was used as seed liquid and inoculated into 100 mL of GMML liquid medium containing Kan (50 μg / mL) and Spe (50 μg / mL), and cultured at 37°C and 220 rpm until the OD 600 The expression was induced by adding IPTG and unnatural amino acids at a final concentration of 1 mM and shaking at 18°C and 220 rpm for 18 h.
[0093] In this study, the 6×His tag was moved from the N-terminus to the C-terminus by PCR (the mutant with NC indicates that the 6×His tag was moved from the N-terminus to the C-terminus), and 3-chlorophenylalanine was introduced at the 115 position. Bs Taking BDH as an example, the protein purification results are as follows Figure 6 As shown in Figure 2, when the 6×His tag is located at the N-terminus, the protein purification solution contains fully expressed Bs For BDH and truncated proteins, when the 6×His tag was moved to the C-terminus, only a protein band around 52 kDa was present in the protein purification solution, which was consistent with the complete expression. Bs BDH molecular weight.
[0094] 2. Zn 2+ Effect of concentration on enzyme catalytic activity
[0095] Protein expression was performed using GMML medium containing different concentrations of ZnCl2 (0, 0.002, 0.004, 0.01, 0.015, 0.02, 0.03, 0.2, 1 mM), and the enzyme catalytic activity was determined.
[0096] like Figure 7 As shown, 6M2 was cultured in LB medium, and the others were cultured in medium containing different concentrations of Zn 2+ When GMML medium was supplemented with 0.015 mM Zn 2+ In addition, in order to determine the location of the 6×His tag and the influence of the culture medium on the catalytic activity of the enzyme, this study compared 6M2 and NC6M2 cultured in LB medium and GMML medium, respectively. The experimental results are as follows: Figure 8 As shown in the figure, the 6×His tag moved from the N-terminus to the C-terminus will lead to a slight decrease in catalytic activity. cis The specific enzyme activity of -CHD was 1.1 U / mg, but the use of GMML medium had a greater impact on the catalytic activity. cis -CHD specific enzyme activity decreased to 0.34 U / mg.
[0097] Example 4 Site-directed introduction of non-natural amino acids to improve catalytic activity
[0098] like Figure 9 As shown, Bs In BDH, sites 50, 115, and 291 form the product release channel, and the size of the product release channel affects the release of the product. Bs In BDH, the distances between F50-F115, F50-I291, and F115-I291 are 3.3 Å, 4.5 Å, and 5.4 Å, respectively, and the channel area formed is relatively small.
[0099] Based on the idea of expanding the product release channel, a halogen-modified phenylalanine analogue was introduced at position 50, and the polarity of the halogen destroyed the hydrophobic interaction between positions 50, 115, and 291. First, position 50 was replaced by the amber codon TAG and F50 was replaced by 3-chlorophenylalanine (3-ClF) by PCR. Figure 10 It can be seen that the catalytic activity of NC6M2 / Y293S / L118F / F50-3-ClF did not improve, but instead decreased by half. Analysis of the substrate binding pocket showed that the reason for the decreased activity may be that the chlorine atom of 3-ClF was not properly oriented towards I291 and F115, but formed a hydrogen bond with the hydroxyl group of S39 ( Figure 11 ).
[0100] Table 6 Primers used for the introduction of unnatural amino acids
[0101]
[0102] Therefore, 2,5-dichlorophenylalanine (2,5-2ClF) was used to replace 3-ClF. The 2-Cl in the 2,5-2ClF structure may form a hydrogen bond with the peptide bond of the 50-position main chain, thereby fixing the side chain conformation of 2,5-2ClF so that the 5-Cl is correctly oriented toward I291 and F115 (e.g. Figure 12 The experimental results show that the channel design successfully improves the catalytic activity, as shown in Figure 10 As shown, NC6M2 / Y293S / L118F / F50-2,5-2ClF cis The catalytic activity of -CHD was increased to 6.98 times that of the parent compound.
[0103] The kinetic parameters of wild type and NC6M2 / Y293S / L118F / F50-2,5-2ClF were determined as follows: first, the protein was purified and then cis The specific enzyme activity was determined at 14 different final concentrations of -CHD (0.125, 0.25, 0.625, 1.25, 1.875, 2.5, 3.125, 3.75, 5, 7.5, 10, 12.5, 18.75, and 25 mM) in an incubation period of 50 mM NAD. + , 50 mM Tris-HCl pH 8.5 buffer. K m and k cat The results were obtained by fitting the Michaelis-Menten equation and presented as mean ± standard error (n = 3).
[0104] The results of kinetic parameter determination are shown in Table 7. cis The catalytic efficiency of -CHD is 1.020 ± 0.072 s -1 .mM -1 , which is 214.48 times that of NCWT, even higher than the improvement of 6M2 / F115C / L118F (94.10 times), and its k cat The value is 8.81 times that of NC6M2 / Y293S / L118F, which indicates that the introduction of unnatural amino acids indeed expands the substrate channel and is beneficial to the turnover of substrates.
[0105] Table 7 Kinetic parameter determination of NCWT and NC6M2 / Y293S / L118F / F50-2,5-2ClF
[0106]
[0107] 2,5-2FF was also introduced into the 50 position, but as Figure 10 As shown in the figure, the catalytic activity of NC6M2 / Y293S / L118F / F50-2,5-2FF decreased more seriously, which may be because the polarity of the fluorine atom is too large, which in turn destroys the substrate binding pocket.
