Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of biotechnology, in particular to the application of a high-stability carbonyl reductase and its mutants in the synthesis of chiral alcohol. BACKGROUND

[0002] Chiral alcohol is a chemical synthesis method with stereoselectivity, which selectively obtains unequal optical isomer products by the action of reagents on a non-chiral group in the molecule, also known as stereoselective synthesis. Chiral alcohol is an important intermediate for the synthesis of chiral drugs, and is widely used in various fields such as drugs, fragrances, cosmetics, etc.

[0003] Carbonyl reductase is a class of enzymes that can catalyze the reduction of carbonyl compounds to chiral alcohol, with high stereoselectivity and substrate adaptability. However, wild-type carbonyl reductase is often limited in industrial applications due to insufficient thermal stability and substrate tolerance. To solve this problem, the present application optimizes the key amino acid sites of carbonyl reductase through directed mutation technology, significantly improving the thermal stability and catalytic efficiency of the enzyme. The present application particularly emphasizes the high stability of carbonyl reductase, and through optimization of mutation sites, the enzyme can still maintain high catalytic activity under high temperature and complex substrate conditions. This high stability not only reduces the risk of enzyme inactivation in industrial production, but also significantly improves reaction efficiency and product yield. In addition, the mutant enzyme has green chemistry characteristics, and the reaction can be completed without harsh conditions, further reducing environmental burden. Overall, the present application provides an innovative solution for efficient and green synthesis of chiral alcohol.

[0004] Florfenicol is a chloramphenicol antibiotic widely used in the field of veterinary medicine. The key precursor of its synthesis is D-ethyl ester and its analogues, which contain adjacent chiral centers, making synthesis difficult. Currently, the industrial production of D-ethyl ester at home and abroad mainly relies on the traditional method of aldol condensation and L-(+)-tartaric acid resolution. However, this method has poor atom economy and high production cost. The method of dynamic reduction kinetic resolution of carbonyl reductase on p-tolylsulfonyl-α-amino-β-keto ester substrate can effectively make up for the shortcomings of the traditional route. This method not only improves the synthesis efficiency of chiral alcohol, but also significantly reduces environmental pollution and production cost, providing a new solution for the green synthesis of florfenicol.

[0005] Vibegron is a beta3 adrenergic receptor agonist drug for the treatment of overactive bladder (OAB). OAB is a common clinical condition with main symptoms including urinary urgency, urinary frequency and urgency incontinence, which has a serious impact on the quality of life of patients. Vibegron can effectively relieve the symptoms related to OAB by selectively activating the beta3 adrenergic receptor, relaxing the bladder detrusor smooth muscle and increasing the bladder capacity. Methyl (2S, 3R)-2-((tert-butoxycarbonyl)amino)-3-hydroxy-3-phenylpropanoate ((2S, 3R)-aminohydroxylate) is a key chiral intermediate for the synthesis of vibegron. There are studies on the construction of a coupling system of NADPH-dependent carbonyl reductase KRED and glucose dehydrogenase GDH for the asymmetric reduction of methyl (S)-2-((tert-butoxycarbonyl)amino)-3-oxo-3-phenylpropanoate ((S)-aminoketoester) to the product (2S, 3R)-aminohydroxylate. However, the enzymatic catalytic asymmetric reduction reaction has a low yield in the synthesis of chiral alcohol.

[0006] Duloxetine is a serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor for the treatment of various mental diseases. Its key chiral intermediate is ethyl (S)-3-hydroxy-3-(thiophen-2-yl)propanoate ((S)-HEES). Rosuvastatin is a selective HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor for reducing cholesterol levels, and its key chiral intermediate is tert-butyl (3R, 5S)-6-chloro-3, 5-dihydroxyhexanoate ((3R, 5S)-CDHH). Atorvastatin is a lipid-lowering drug, and its key chiral intermediate is tert-butyl (3R, 5R)-6-cyano-3, 5-dihydroxyhexanoate ((3R, 5R)-CNHH).

[0007] In the biosynthesis process of pharmaceutical chemicals, carbonyl reductase-mediated asymmetric catalytic synthesis of chiral alcohol is a key technical link. Although biocatalysis has significant advantages over traditional chemical synthesis, there are still technical bottlenecks in industrial application. The traditional chemical path relies on multi-step chemical reactions and high-consumption organic solvents, which not only have poor atom economy, but also produce a large amount of waste. Although the biological catalytic system can avoid the above defects, it still needs to overcome the core problems such as unstable catalytic activity of enzyme protein, limited substrate tolerance and low efficiency of coenzyme regeneration. Through the innovation of enzyme molecules, the product yield and process economy can be effectively improved, which provides technical support for establishing a low-carbon emission green manufacturing paradigm of drugs. SUMMARY

[0008] In order to solve the technical problems of poor stability and low yield of carbonyl reductase-mediated synthesis of chiral alcohol, the present application provides a high-stability carbonyl reductase mutant and its application in enzymatic synthesis of chiral alcohol.

[0009] The technical scheme adopted by the present application is as follows:

[0010] A carbonyl reductase mutant is obtained by single-point mutation or multi-point combined mutation of the 20th and 55th positions of the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO. 2; the amino acid sequence of the carbonyl reductase shown in SEQ ID NO. 2 is derived from Exiguobacterium sp.

[0011] As a preferred, the mutation is one or a combination of the following two:

[0012] (1) the 20th leucine is mutated to any one of lysine, threonine, aspartic acid and isoleucine;

[0013] (2) the 55th leucine is mutated to any one of methionine, serine, lysine and isoleucine;

[0014] Further, the mutant is preferably one of the following:

[0015] (a) the 20th leucine in the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO. 2 is mutated to isoleucine (L20I);

[0016] (b) the 55th leucine in the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO. 2 is mutated to isoleucine (L55I);

[0017] (c) the 20th leucine in the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO. 2 is mutated to isoleucine, and the 55th leucine is mutated to isoleucine (L20I-L55I).

[0018] More preferably, the carbonyl reductase mutant is obtained by mutating the leucine at position 20 to isoleucine and mutating the leucine at position 55 to isoleucine of the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO. 2, and is named mutant Mut-L20I-L55I, the nucleotide sequence of which is shown in SEQ ID NO. 3 and the amino acid sequence of which is shown in SEQ ID NO. 4.

Specifically, the changes include deletion, insertion or substitution of amino acids in the amino acid sequence; wherein, for conservative changes of the variant, the substituted amino acid has similar structure or chemical properties to the original amino acid, and the enzyme variant can also have non-conservative changes.

[0020] The present application also provides a coding gene of the carbonyl reductase mutant.

[0022] Due to the specificity of the nucleotide sequence, any variant of the polynucleotide shown in the present application, as long as it has more than 90% homology with the aforementioned polynucleotide, belongs to the protection scope of the present application. The variant of the polynucleotide refers to a polynucleotide sequence with one or more nucleotide changes. This variant of the polynucleotide can be a living variant or a non-living variant, including a substitution variant, a deletion variant and an insertion variant. As known in the art, an allelic variant is a substitution form of a polynucleotide, which can be a substitution, deletion or insertion of a polynucleotide, but will not substantially change the function of the encoded peptide protein.

[0024] The present application also provides a genetically engineered bacterium containing the coding gene of the carbonyl reductase mutant, and the genetically engineered bacterium is constructed by using a recombinant vector containing the coding gene of the carbonyl reductase mutant. The recombinant genetically engineered bacterium is generally constructed by connecting the coding gene of the carbonyl reductase mutant with an expression vector pET28b to construct a recombinant vector containing the coding gene of the carbonyl reductase mutant, and then transforming the recombinant vector into a host cell to obtain a genetically engineered bacterium containing the recombinant plasmid. The host cell can be a bacterium, a fungus, a plant cell or an animal cell, and preferably Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3) is used as an expression host.

[0025] The coding gene of the carbonyl reductase mutant is introduced into a host cell by genetic engineering technology to construct a genetically engineered bacterium and perform expression, so as to obtain the carbonyl reductase mutant of the present application.

[0026] The carbonyl reductase mutant can be obtained by the following method:

[0027] A recombinant vector containing the coding gene of the carbonyl reductase mutant is constructed, the recombinant vector is transformed into a host bacterium, and the obtained genetically engineered bacterium is induced to culture, and then the wet bacterium containing the carbonyl reductase mutant is separated from the culture solution. After the wet bacterium is broken, the crude enzyme solution of the carbonyl reductase mutant M6 is obtained, and the crude enzyme solution is purified to obtain the pure enzyme of the carbonyl reductase mutant.

[0028] In the present application, the carbonyl reductase mutant can be used in various forms. For example, the resting cell or the wet bacterium expressing the carbonyl reductase mutant of the present application can be used, and various different forms such as the crude enzyme solution, the pure enzyme or the crude enzyme powder can also be used, or the immobilized enzyme can also be used.

[0029] The present application also provides the application of the carbonyl reductase mutant in the synthesis of chiral alcohol. The chiral alcohol is a duloxetine intermediate, a florfenicol intermediate, a rosuvastatin intermediate, an atorvastatin intermediate or a vibegron intermediate.

[0030] Further, the method of the application is as follows: the wet bacterium obtained by fermentation culture of the genetically engineered bacterium containing the coding gene of the carbonyl reductase mutant, the crude enzyme solution after breaking the wet bacterium or the extracted pure enzyme are used as catalysts, a chiral ketone is used as a substrate, and a biological catalytic reaction is performed to prepare a corresponding chiral alcohol.

[0032] Further, the application provides a method for preparing a chiral alcohol, comprising the following steps:

The carbonyl reductase mutant is first combined with coenzyme NADPH to form a whole enzyme, the substrate enters the substrate binding pocket of the enzyme, obtains one [H] reduced by NADPH transmission, and at the same time NADPH is oxidized to lose [H], then the oxidized NADP is separated from the enzyme, the product is released from the active center, and finally the oxidized NADP is reduced to NADPH by chiral substances or enzymes for recycling.
