Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of genetic engineering, specifically to an HSL mutant, gene, vector, cell, composition, and its application. Background Technology
[0002] The rice gene HIS1, or 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase inhibitor sensitive gene No. 1, encodes a non-heme ferrous, α-ketoglutarate-dependent oxygenase. This enzyme hydroxylates triketone HPPD inhibitors, thus conferring resistance to HPPD inhibitors in rice. Furthermore, several homologous genes of HIS1 have been found in rice, named HSL (HIS1-Like). HSL genes have also been found in other plants, such as barley, wheat, sorghum, maize, and Arabidopsis thaliana. Current research on HIS1 and HSL shows that proteins encoded by both HIS1 and its homolog HSL can catalyze the hydroxylation of triketone HPPD inhibitors, and the catalytic products exhibit significantly reduced HPPD inhibitory activity.
[0003] Among the more than 20 types of herbicides globally, HPPD inhibitor herbicides have seen rapid growth in recent years, with 13 currently available on the market. The low risk of resistance development is the core advantage of these products, contributing to their leading growth. Based on their favorable characteristics, the HPPD inhibitor herbicides still possess significant market growth potential. However, HPPD inhibitor herbicides are mostly used in corn and wheat fields, and due to crop safety concerns, they have not been widely applied to areas where cash crops such as peanuts, soybeans, rice, and sorghum are grown. Furthermore, some highly active HPPD inhibitors still under development have not been further developed due to a lack of crop safety. Therefore, developing HPPD inhibitor-resistant crops is of great significance for the application of HPPD inhibitor herbicides and the cultivation of cash crops.
[0004] HIS1 and HSL can detoxify HPPD inhibitors and can be used to develop HPPD-resistant herbicide crops. Currently, several mutant proteins capable of degrading HPPD inhibitors have been reported in this field, such as those with high metabolic activity. Axis HSL1 mutants are well-documented, but other HSL subtypes and HSL mutants from other species are rarely reported and exhibit weak metabolic effects against HPPD inhibitors. Our research team previously developed... Axis HSL4, Sat HSL1, Change HSL1A, ChangeThe HSL1B mutant protein also exhibits relatively weak catalytic activity in metabolizing HPPD inhibitors. Therefore, obtaining HSL proteins with significantly enhanced metabolic activity against HPPD inhibitors through modification, and developing new HPPD-resistant herbicide crops based on these proteins, has significant theoretical and economic value. Summary of the Invention

Once the conditions are determined, proceed with large-scale extraction. The process is as follows: a. Pick a single colony from a plate that has been cultured for 16 h and add it to 100 mL of LB medium containing 50 μg / mL kanamycin sulfate. Incubate at 37 °C and 220 rpm for 5 h.

Then, analyze the protein using SDS-PAGE. Combine the proteins that need to be stored, then aliquot and freeze. For proteins used to measure activity, add glycerol to make the glycerol volume 25% of the total solution volume before storage.
[0101] Test Example 1 Catalytic activity study of HSL mutants against HPPD inhibitors Under the premise of ensuring that the concentrations of all proteins and the initial concentrations of HPPD inhibitors are the same, each protein is reacted with the HPPD inhibitor separately. After the reaction, the residual concentration of HPPD inhibitor is determined by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), which reflects the catalytic rate of each protein on the HPPD inhibitor. The specific test method steps are as follows: a. Preparation of buffer solutions, substrates, and cofactors: HEPES assay buffer: First, prepare a 1 M stock solution, adjust its pH to 7.0 with sodium hydroxide, dilute to a concentration of 20 mM before use, and filter through a 0.22 μm filter membrane; Preparation of substrate (i.e. HPPD inhibitor): First, prepare a 10 mM stock solution with DMSO, and then dilute it with HEPES activity assay buffer before use. Preparation of sodium ascorbate: Prepare a 20 mM solution with deionized water and store at -80 ℃. Preparation of ferrous sulfate: Prepare a 1 mM solution with deionized water and store at -80 ℃. Preparation of α-ketoglutaric acid: Prepare a concentration of 50 mM with deionized water and store at -80 °C. b. During the test, first mix 150 μL of 20 mM HEPES activity assay buffer, 20 μL of 500 μM substrate, 8 μL of 20 mM sodium ascorbate, 8 μL of 1 mM ferrous sulfate and 4 μL of 50 mM α-ketoglutarate, and finally add 10 μL of 10 mg / mL enzyme, for a total volume of 200 μL, and react at 30 ℃ for 10 h. c. Add 20 μL of 10% trifluoroacetic acid to terminate the reaction, centrifuge at 12000 g for 10 min, and take 180 μL to add to the sample vial for testing; d. When analyzing samples using HPLC, the sample loading volume is 60 μL. The area of the remaining substrate absorption peak at 286 nm is measured, and the amount of remaining substrate is calculated based on the substrate standard curve (i.e., control) to evaluate the catalytic activity of each protein. Each sample is analyzed three times.
[0102] e. Determination of the standard curve of the substrate (HPPD inhibitor): Using the same reaction system as above (but without enzyme), different substrate concentrations were set, such as 0.1 μM, 0.5 μM, 1 μM, 10 μM, and 50 μM, to obtain the relationship between substrate concentration and peak area.
[0103] This test case examined representative HPPD inhibitor herbicides: mesotrione, benzobicyclon-OH (BBC-OH), tefuryltrione, sulcotrione, Y18024, methylquinalazine (Y13287), toprazole, and pyraclostrobin precursor (Y16550). The catalytic effects of the aforementioned HSL mutant proteins on these HPPD inhibitors were also tested.
[0104] Control: This refers to adding 50 μM of substrate to the reaction system without adding enzyme, and treating the remaining amount of substrate as the amount when the substrate is not catalyzed.
[0105] Sample: Add 50 μM of substrate to the enzyme reaction system and observe the remaining peak area of the substrate at the same retention time to determine the catalytic efficiency of the enzyme on the substrate (i.e., HPPD inhibitor).
[0106] To compare the catalytic efficiency of wild-type and mutant strains against HPPD inhibitors, the protein concentrations of wild-type and mutant strains were adjusted to be consistent during the test.
[0107] The substrate concentration (i.e. HPPD inhibitor) in the control was 50 μM. The remaining substrate peak area of each sample was substituted into the substrate standard curve to calculate the remaining substrate concentration in each sample. The specific experimental results are shown in Table 7.
[0108] As can be seen from Table 7, each mutant showed a significant improvement in the degradation effect of specific HPPD inhibitors compared to its wild type.
[0109] Axis HSL4-Y142H / I207F / F303S and Axis HSL4-Y142H / I207F / F303S / L334R compared to wild type Axis HSL4 significantly enhances the degradation effect of BBC-OH, and it is worth noting that... Axis HSL4-Y142H / I207F / F303S simultaneously significantly enhances the metabolic activity of pyrazole HPPD inhibitors Topramezone and Y16550.
[0110] Sat HSL1-Q140H / Y205F / K336F / L332R compared to wild type Sat HSL1 significantly improves the degradation effect of BBC-OH and slightly improves the degradation effect of Tefryltrione.

[0112] Hv HSL6D-N147H / Q212F / V304L / H341F / M337R / I214R exhibits broad-spectrum metabolic activity, significantly enhancing the metabolic activity of mesotrione, sulcotrione, tefruryltrione, and BBC-OH, and slightly enhancing the metabolic activity of Y18024, Y13287, Y16550, and Topramezone.
[0113] Change HSL1B-Q140H / Y205F / K336F / L332R significantly enhances the metabolic activity of mesotrione and tefuryltrione, and slightly enhances the metabolic activity of BBC-OH.
[0114] Table 7: Degradation of representative HPPD inhibitors by HSL mutants
[0115] Note: The lower the residual concentration, the better the degradation effect. The reaction conditions in Table 6 are: reaction temperature 30 ℃, reaction time 10 h, substrate (compound) concentration of 50 μM, and protein concentration of 0.5 mg / mL.
[0116] Test Example 2: Enzyme Kinetics Study of HSL Mutants Under the premise of ensuring that the concentrations of all proteins are the same, high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was used to test the initial reaction rates of mutant proteins catalyzing different concentrations of HPPD inhibitors. The slope and intercept of the linearized Michaelis–Menten equation were calculated to obtain... K m and k cat .
[0117] The specific testing method steps are as follows: a. The preparation of buffer solution, substrate, and cofactor is the same as in Test Example 1. b. During the test, the activity test buffer (final concentration 20 mM), substrate (gradient concentrations obtained from preliminary experiments to ensure the maximum substrate reaction amount is below 10%), sodium ascorbate (final concentration 2 mM), ferrous sulfate (final concentration 100 μM), and α-ketoglutarate (final concentration 1 mM) were mixed first, and then the enzyme (enzyme concentration obtained from preliminary experiments to ensure the maximum substrate reaction amount is below 10%) was added. The total volume was 200 μL, and the reaction was carried out at 30 ℃ for 10 min to 30 min (reaction time obtained from preliminary experiments to ensure the maximum substrate reaction amount is below 10%). The reaction time, substrate concentration gradient, and enzyme concentration during the test are shown in Table 8.
[0118] Table 8
[0119] c. Add 20 μL of 10% trifluoroacetic acid (using deionized water as solvent) to terminate the reaction, centrifuge at 12000 g for 10 min, and take 180 μL of the supernatant to add to the sample vial for testing; d. When using HPLC to detect the sample, the sample loading volume is 60 μL. The area of the remaining substrate absorption peak at 286 nm is detected, and the amount of substrate consumed in different reactions is calculated based on the substrate standard curve (i.e., control). Each sample is repeated three times.
[0120] e. The initial rate was determined using a standard curve, and enzyme kinetic parameters were obtained by plotting the Michaelis-Menten equation. K m and k cat .
[0121] This test case examined the enzyme kinetic parameters of the HSL mutant, which exhibits high metabolic activity against HPPD inhibitors and was measured in Test Case 1, catalyzing HPPD inhibitor herbicides. K m and k cat The details are as follows: Axis HSL4-Y142H / I207F / F303S against benzobicyclon-OH technical grade; Sat HSL1-Q140H / Y205F / K336F / L332R against Benzobicyclon-OH; Change HSL1A-Q142H / I207F / F301L / R338F / I334R / M120I versus Benzobicyclon-OH; Change HSL1A-Q142H / I207F / F301L / R338F / I334R / M120I / S205P / G303S / I341F Mesotrione and Benzobicyclon-OH; Hv HSL6D-N147H / Q212F / V304L / H341F / M337R / I214R is effective against Benzobicyclon-OH, Mesotrione, and Tefrulyltrione. Change HSL1B-Q140H / Y205F / K336F / L332R is effective against Benzobicyclon-OH, Mesotrione, and Tefrulyltrione.
[0122] The Michaelis–Menten equation describes the relationship between the rate of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction and the substrate concentration.
[0123] in: v It is the reaction rate (initial rate).
[0124] V max This is the maximum reaction rate (at which point the enzyme is fully saturated with the substrate, and the reaction rate no longer increases with increasing substrate concentration).
[0125] [S] is the concentration of the substrate.
[0126] K m This is the Michaelis constant, which represents the enzyme's affinity for its substrate. Low Michaelis constant... K m The value indicates that the enzyme has a high affinity for the substrate.
[0127]
[0128] By reaction rate v Plotting [S] on the ordinate and substrate concentration [S] on the abscissa yields the Michaelis-Menten curve. V max The substrate concentration value corresponding to 1 / 2 of the value is the Michaelis constant. K m The rate at which an enzyme-catalyzed reaction proceeds is called the catalytic constant. k cat This represents the number of times each enzyme molecule catalyzes the conversion of the substrate into the product per unit time. It is calculated using the following formula:
[0129] In addition, the catalytic efficiency of enzymes on substrates is k cat / K m The value is calculated, and the larger the value, the stronger the enzyme's catalytic efficiency on the substrate. Therefore, it is often used to measure the ability of an enzyme to catalyze its substrate.
