Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of biocatalysis pharmaceutical technology, and in particular to a carbonyl reductase mutant, a combinatorial enzyme, and its application in the synthesis of S-configuration Bosine. Background Technology
[0002] The information disclosed in the background section of this invention is intended only to enhance the understanding of the overall background of the invention and is not necessarily to be construed as an admission or in any way implying that such information constitutes prior art known to those skilled in the art.
[0003] Pro-Xylane is a bioactive β-C-glycoside compound widely used in anti-aging skincare products, capable of stimulating the synthesis of glycosaminoglycans in the skin's extracellular matrix. Studies have shown that its S-configuration isomer exhibits higher bioactivity than the R-configuration; therefore, developing efficient and selective methods for synthesizing the S-configuration of pro-Xylane has significant application value.
[0004] Currently, the synthesis of Bosein mainly involves two technical routes: chemical synthesis and biocatalysis. Chemical synthesis methods often involve the use of reagents such as boric acid, which makes it difficult to completely separate residual boric acid from the product. This not only increases purification costs but also poses potential safety hazards, thus restricting its large-scale production.
[0005] Biocatalysis, particularly the asymmetric reduction using carbonyl reductases, has become a promising synthetic approach due to its inherent high stereoselectivity and environmental friendliness. However, current biocatalytic technologies still face several bottlenecks. On the one hand, the catalytic activity and conversion efficiency of naturally occurring or reported carbonyl reductases for the substrate β-pyruvate are often insufficient, making it difficult to meet the industrial demands for complete conversion of high-concentration substrates. On the other hand, the coenzyme NADP is required during the catalytic process. + The continuous regeneration of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NAPDP) is problematic, as commonly used regeneration systems (such as glucose dehydrogenase systems) produce a large number of acidic byproducts. These byproducts are similar in properties to the target product and are difficult to separate, which not only increases the difficulty and cost of post-processing but also affects the purity of the final product.
[0006] Therefore, developing a carbonyl reductase with high catalytic activity, high S-configuration selectivity, and the ability to avoid generating difficult-to-separate byproducts, along with a matching coenzyme regeneration system, is crucial for achieving efficient, green, and low-cost industrial production of S-configuration Bosein. Summary of the Invention
[0007] In view of this, the present invention provides a carbonyl reductase mutant, a combination enzyme, and its application in the synthesis of S-configuration Bosein. The carbonyl reductase mutant provided by the present invention is derived from [a specific enzyme] using error-prone PCR technology. Levilactobacillus brevisThe wild-type carbonyl reductase (EVBA) gene was randomly mutated and screened for activity and stereoselectivity. Using this mutant, it was combined with formate dehydrogenase (FDH) to form a catalytic system that can efficiently and selectively prepare optically pure S-configuration Bosein at high substrate concentrations.
[0008] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a carbonyl reductase mutant, which is obtained by mutating a wild-type carbonyl reductase with the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO:1, wherein the mutation method is as follows:
[0009] The F at position 147 is mutated to L, the V at position 163 to Y, the L at position 176 to E, and the P at position 200 to R.
[0010] Preferably, the amino acid sequence of the carbonyl reductase mutant is shown in SEQ ID NO: 3.
[0011] In a second aspect, the present invention provides a nucleic acid molecule that encodes a carbonyl reductase mutant as described in the first aspect.
[0012] Preferably, the nucleotide sequence of the nucleic acid molecule is shown in SEQ ID NO: 4.
[0013] Thirdly, the present invention provides an expression vector comprising the nucleic acid molecule as described in the second aspect.
[0014] Fourthly, the present invention provides a recombinant strain that expresses the carbonyl reductase mutant as described in the first aspect, or carries the nucleic acid molecule as described in the second aspect, or contains the expression vector as described in the third aspect.
[0015] Fifthly, the present invention provides a combinatorial enzyme comprising a carbonyl reductase mutant and formate dehydrogenase as described in the first aspect.
[0016] Preferably, the formate dehydrogenase is derived from... Thiobacillus sp. KNK65MA, whose amino acid sequence is shown in SEQ ID NO: 5.
[0017] In a sixth aspect, the present invention provides the application of the carbonyl reductase mutant described in the first aspect, the nucleic acid molecule described in the second aspect, the expression vector described in the third aspect, the recombinant strain described in the fourth aspect, or the combination enzyme described in the fifth aspect in the synthesis of S-configuration Bosonicine.
[0018] In a seventh aspect, the present invention provides a method for synthesizing S-configuration bosonicine, comprising the following steps:
[0019] The carbonyl reductase mutant described in the first aspect, the recombinant strain described in the fourth aspect, or the combination enzyme described in the fifth aspect are contacted with the reaction substrate β-acetone xyloside, and a catalytic reaction is carried out in the presence of a coenzyme cycle system to obtain S-configuration Bosein.
[0020] Preferably, the pH of the catalytic reaction system is 6.5-7.5; the concentration of the reaction substrate is 250-320 g / L; the reaction time is 12-24 hours; and the reaction temperature is 28-32℃.
[0021] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has achieved the following beneficial effects:
[0022] (1) This invention provides a carbonyl reductase mutant with mutations at four specific sites (F147L, V163Y, L176E, P200R). Compared with its wild type, this mutant exhibits significantly improved catalytic efficiency for the substrate β-pyruvate, enabling complete conversion of high-concentration substrates. Simultaneously, this mutant demonstrates strict enantioselectivity, with the S-configuration of Bosein in the catalytic product reaching 100%, ensuring the optical purity of the product and solving the common enantiomeric separation problem in chemical synthesis.
[0023] (2) This invention further provides a combined enzyme comprising the carbonyl reductase mutant and formate dehydrogenase. In traditional carbonyl reductase and glucose dehydrogenase combined systems, separation and purification are difficult due to the generation of large amounts of soluble sodium gluconate and residual glucose. However, the combined enzyme system of this invention enables highly efficient in-situ regeneration of the coenzyme, and the byproducts generated during the regeneration process are non-toxic gases that are easily and automatically removed from the reaction system. This feature fundamentally avoids the separation and purification difficulties of traditional combined enzymes, significantly simplifies the post-processing steps, and reduces production costs and environmental burden.
[0024] (3) The preparation method disclosed in this invention, under optimized reaction conditions, can achieve complete conversion of β-acetone xyloside within 16 hours at a high substrate concentration of 300 g / L. This process route combines a highly active and selective biocatalyst with a green and simplified reaction-separation system, which significantly improves production intensity and efficiency, and provides a practical technical solution for the large-scale, low-cost biomanufacturing of S-configuration Bosein.
