Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to high-throughput screening technology, specifically to a high-throughput screening method for phenylethanolamine-N-methyltransferase, belonging to the field of biotechnology. Background Technology
[0002] Phenylethanamine-N-methyltransferase (PNMT) is an enzyme that catalyzes the transfer of a methyl group from S-adenosylmethionine to the amino terminus of norepinephrine to generate epinephrine. The synthesis of epinephrine from norepinephrine using PNMT is a mild, environmentally friendly reaction with no pollutant generation, and has wide applications in biocatalysis and biomedicine.
[0003] Novel enzymes can be discovered through natural mutation screening, but this method is inefficient and lacks specificity, necessitating the development of rapid and efficient new methods. Molecular modification methods were employed to screen for novel phenylethanolamine-N-methyltransferases. When existing enzymes are mutated using molecular modification methods, a large library is typically formed, making high-throughput detection methods crucial for screening. Currently, high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) is a widely used screening method due to its high separation efficiency, good selectivity, high detection sensitivity, and wide application range; however, it is costly and time-consuming, failing to improve screening efficiency.
[0004] Therefore, developing a high-throughput screening method for phenylethanolamine-N-methyltransferases is of great significance for the directed evolution of phenylethanolamine-N-methyltransferases. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a high-throughput screening method for phenylethanolamine-N-methyltransferases, addressing the shortcomings of the prior art.
[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] A high-throughput screening method for phenylethanolamine-N-methyltransferase involves adding substrates norepinephrine and S-adenosylmethionine, PBS buffer, and S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine hydrolase (SAHH) to a 96-well plate of a microplate reader. Then, enzyme solutions of phenylethanolamine-N-methyltransferase samples and enzyme-free empty bacterial samples pET24a / E. coli BL21(DE3) are added separately. The plate is then incubated in a microplate shaker at 20-50°C and 500-1000 rpm for 1-3 hours, followed by centrifugation at 3700 rpm for 10 minutes at 4°C. The supernatant is collected, and NDCC compound is added. The reaction is continued for 0-90 minutes. During the reaction, the 96-well plate is removed every 1-30 minutes, and the absorbance at 405 nm is measured. Based on the change in absorbance, enzyme activity is defined as the change in OD405 nm absorbance per minute multiplied by 1,000,000 under specific conditions.
[0008] The synthesis method of the compound NDCC is as follows: 0.1-0.2 g of 5-nitrosalicylic acid aldehyde, 0.1-0.2 g of 2-cyclopenten-1-one and 0.05-0.1 g of imidazole are dissolved in a mixed solution of 1.5 mL of tetrahydrofuran and 1.5 mL of deionized water, stirred overnight at 20 °C, then diluted 4.3 times with deionized water, and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic components are combined, and ethyl acetate is removed by vacuum filtration. NDCC is then purified by rapid chromatography.
[0009] The enzyme sample was phenylethanolamine-N-methyltransferase, and the enzyme source was referenced in the patent: A phenylethanolamine-N-methyltransferase hPNMT54 and its cloning, expression and application.
[0010] The high-throughput screening method for phenylethanolamine-N-methyltransferase described in this invention refers to phenylethanolamine-N-methyltransferase, which is a methyltransferase that catalyzes the synthesis of epinephrine from norepinephrine.
[0011] The principle of detection using chemically synthesized NDCC compounds described in this invention is as follows: phenylethanolamine-N-methyltransferase transfers the methyl group of S-adenosylmethionine to the amino terminus of norepinephrine to generate epinephrine. S-adenosylmethionine generates its byproduct S-adenosyl homocysteine, which is hydrolyzed into adenosine and homocysteine by S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine hydrolase (SAHH). The NDCC compound can detect homocysteine, showing an absorbance change at 405 nm, changing from colorless to yellow, indicating relatively sensitive detection.
[0012] As an improvement, the nucleotide sequence of the phenylethanolamine-N-methyltransferase is shown in SEQ ID No. 1.

[0015] As an improvement, the nucleotide sequence of the S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine hydrolase is as shown in SEQ ID No.2.

[0018] As an improvement, in this step, the plasmid sequence of the enzyme-free empty bacteria pET24a / E.coli BL21(DE3) is shown in SEQ ID No. 3.
[0019] SEQ ID No. 3:
[0020]
[0021] A further improvement is that the phenylethanolamine-N-methyltransferase is obtained through the following steps:
[0022] Step 1: Construct the genetically engineered bacterium pET24a-hPNMT54-E.coli BL21(DE3) expressing PNMT.
[0023] After codon optimization based on the amino acid ancestor sequence mined by enzyme ancestor sequence reconstruction technology, the whole gene was synthesized and subcloned into the vector pET24a to obtain the recombinant plasmid pET24a-hPNMT54. The constructed recombinant plasmid pET24a-hPNMT54 was transformed into the E. coli expression host BL21(DE3) using the calcium chloride method to obtain the phenylethanolamine-N-methyltransferase expression strain pET24a-hPNMT54-E.coli BL21(DE3);
[0024] Step 2, in vitro expression induction
[0025] The phenylethanolamine-N-methyltransferase expression strain pET24a-hPNMT54-E.coli BL21(DE3) was inoculated into 96-well plates. 300-500 μl of LB medium containing 50 μg / mL kanamycin was added to each well. After overnight incubation at 25-40℃ for 10-20 h, 1 ml of LB medium containing 50 μg / mL kanamycin was added. When OD600 = 0.4-0.8, IPTG was added at a final concentration of 0.25 mM-1 mM. The plates were then incubated at 15-30℃ and 500-1000 rpm for 15-20 h.
[0026] Step 3, Obtaining phenylethanolamine-N-methyltransferase
[0027] After in vitro induction of expression, the bacterial cells were collected by centrifugation at 3000-8000 rpm for 10-15 min at 4℃. The bacterial cells were washed three times with PBS buffer and then resuspended in PBS buffer.
[0028] Beneficial effects:
[0029] Compared with existing technologies, this invention provides a high-throughput screening method for phenylethanolamine-N-methyltransferase. The method establishes a high-throughput screening approach that utilizes the reaction of synthesized NDCC compounds with S-adenosylhomocysteine, a byproduct of S-adenosylmethionine, after hydrolysis by SAHH hydrolase to produce homocysteine, resulting in a color change from colorless to yellow, with a change in absorbance at 405 nm. This method is used to detect the enzyme reaction rate of phenylethanolamine-N-methyltransferase, thereby detecting its enzyme activity. It features simple operation, low cost, and accurate detection, making it suitable for large-scale high-throughput screening for the directed evolution of this enzyme. Attached Figure Description

[0045] (1) Step 1: Construct the genetically engineered bacterium pET24a-hPNMT54-E.coli BL21(DE3) expressing PNMT.
[0046] After codon optimization based on the amino acid ancestor sequence mined by enzyme ancestor sequence reconstruction technology, the whole gene was synthesized and subcloned into the vector pET24a to obtain the recombinant plasmid pET24a-hPNMT54. The constructed recombinant plasmid pET24a-hPNMT54 was transformed into the E. coli expression host BL21(DE3) using the calcium chloride method to obtain the phenylethanolamine-N-methyltransferase expression strain pET24a-hPNMT54-E.coli BL21(DE3);
[0047] (2) In vitro induction of expression
[0048] The phenylethanolamine-N-methyltransferase expression strain pET24a-hPNMT54-E.coli BL21(DE3) was inoculated into 96-well plates, with 300-500 μl of LB medium containing 50 μg / mL kanamycin added to each well. After sealing, the plates were cultured at 37°C and 500-1000 rpm in a microplate shaker for 12 h. Then, 200 μl of the medium was transferred to a new 96-well plate containing 50 μg / mL kanamycin in LB medium and cultured at 37°C and 500-1000 rpm in a microplate shaker for 2 h. 0.2-0.5 mM IPTG was added for induction, and the plates were cultured at 25°C and 500-1000 rpm in a shaker for 12-18 h.
[0049] (3) Obtaining phenylethanolamine-N-methyltransferase
[0050] After in vitro induction of expression, the bacterial cells were collected by centrifuging the 96-well plate at 3000-8000 rpm for 10-15 min at 4℃. The bacterial cells were washed three times with PBS buffer (pH 7.050 mM) and then resuspended in PBS buffer.
[0051] (4) Here a comparative example is set up, which is a blank phenylethanolamine-N-methyltransferase, named enzyme 1, i.e. pET24a. The construction method is the same as in Example 2 (1) for comparison.
[0052] (5) The in vitro induction expression of enzyme 1 and the method for obtaining the enzyme are as described in (2) and (3) of Example 2.
[0053] Example 3: Detection of phenylethanolamine-N-methyltransferase
[0054] Add the following system to a 96-well plate: 10 μL of 2.5 mM SAM, 10 μL of 5 mM norepinephrine, 20-50 μL of 2 mM NDCC compound, 80 μL of SAHH hydrolase, 80 μL of phenylethanolamine-N-methyltransferase enzyme solution or enzyme 1, and 20 μL of PBS buffer (pH 7.050 mM).
[0055] First, add 10 μL of 2.5 mM SAM, 10 μL of 5 mM norepinephrine, 80 μL of SAHH hydrolase, 80 μL of phenylethanolamine-N-methyltransferase enzyme solution or enzyme 1, and 20 μL of PBS buffer (pH 7.0 50 mM) to a 96-well plate. Incubate at 37°C in a microplate shaker at 500-1000 rpm for 1-3 hours. Remove the plate, centrifuge at 3700 rpm for 10 minutes at 4°C, and then add 20-50 μL of 2 mM NDCC compound to the supernatant. Incubate for 0-90 minutes, removing the plate every 30 minutes and measuring the absorbance at 405 nm using a microplate reader. Enzyme activity is defined as the change in OD405 nm absorbance per minute multiplied by 1,000,000 under specific conditions, based on the change in absorbance.
[0056] Based on the absorbance values at different time points in the experimental group, the earlier the absorbance value reaches a larger value, the higher the corresponding enzyme activity. Based on the difference in absorbance values between the experimental group and the control group, the difference reflects that this high-throughput detection method can detect the activity of phenylethanolamine-N-methyltransferase, and can further screen for phenylethanolamine-N-methyltransferases with higher enzyme activity.

invention shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention. sequence list <110> Nanjing University of Technology <120> A high-throughput screening method for
