Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of enzyme catalysis and enzyme immobilization, and in particular relates to an immobilized multi-enzyme material and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art
[0002] Carbohydrate compounds are an important class of information molecules, which are widely involved in life processes such as pathogen infection, immune response, cell signal transduction, cell division and differentiation, inflammatory response, sperm-egg recognition and tumor metastasis. On the other hand, carbohydrates are also important medicinal molecules, such as anticoagulant heparin, aminoglycoside antibiotics and bacterial polysaccharide conjugate vaccines, which are widely used in disease treatment and prevention. In addition, carbohydrates are often used as "chiral pool" starting materials to synthesize natural products or pharmaceutical intermediates with important biological activity and application value. At present, the most commonly used methods for synthesizing carbohydrates at home and abroad are chemical synthesis, fermentation and enzymatic synthesis. In carbohydrate synthesis, chemical catalysis usually involves multiple steps of activation, protection, glycosylation and deprotection. The process is cumbersome and the yield is low. There are also problems such as expensive reagents and environmental pollution. Whole-cell fermentation can achieve large-scale production, but due to the complex synthetic generation pathway, the coordination of multi-step metabolism and the regulation of metabolic flow are difficult. In contrast, enzyme-catalyzed reactions have the advantages of high efficiency and simplicity, strong stereospecificity, good regioselectivity, mild reaction conditions and environmental friendliness. In practical applications, enzymes in free solution state have the disadvantages of difficulty in subsequent separation, recovery and repeated use, and poor stability. At the same time, carbohydrates have a variety of structures, and their material conversion and energy metabolism require the participation of multiple enzymes to complete synergistically. The compatibility of reaction conditions between key enzymes limits the overall catalytic efficiency. In addition, the in vitro multi-enzyme catalysis of carbohydrates is limited by substrate concentration and is difficult to adapt to the high-concentration substrate environment in industrial applications. In recent years, with the rapid development of simulated biology and industrial biocatalysis, constructing an ideal in vitro multi-enzyme cascade reaction system to deeply explore the complex functions of organisms and develop new green and efficient catalytic methods has become one of the major challenges faced by scientific researchers. Therefore, it is urgent to develop an immobilization strategy for multi-enzyme cascades to enhance the stability of enzyme molecules, give full play to the performance of synergistic catalysis between different enzymes, and have the advantages of stability, easy storage, reusability and continuous operation. On the other hand, due to the diversity of carbohydrates and the complexity of multi-enzyme catalytic systems in practical applications, this strategy should be universal and universal, and can be widely used in the effective fixation of different multi-enzyme cascade catalytic systems, and can solve some problems of in vitro enzyme catalytic synthesis of carbohydrates in industrial applications.

[0040] Advantages: Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:
[0041] 1. In the present invention, N-acetylhexosamine 1-kinase and uridyltransferase related to glycosyl donor synthesis are immobilized inside ZIF-90 by in-situ coating method, and enzymes for cofactor regeneration or glycosidic bond synthesis are immobilized outside the material by chemical cross-linking method. This compartmentalized immobilization strategy can reduce the interference between different enzymes.
[0042] 2. The immobilized multi-enzyme catalytic material prepared in the present invention combines three different enzymes with ZIF-90 in an orderly manner by in-situ coating method and cross-linking method. Compared with free enzymes, it shortens the transmission distance between substrates and the reaction time, reduces the inhibition of intermediates, and can obtain higher catalytic efficiency.
[0043] 3. The present invention proposes a method for ligand exchange applied to post-synthetic modification of ZIF-90. On the one hand, the amino ligand can endow ZIF-90 with amino groups through ligand exchange, which is very important for the connection of the third enzyme. On the other hand, ligand exchange can improve the structure and porosity of ZIF-90 and promote substrate transfer.
[0044] 4. The present invention proposes a molecule NHS-PEG n -NHS with adjustable length for the connection between inorganic materials and enzyme molecules. The succinimides at both ends of NHS-PEG n -NHS undergo amidation reactions with the amino groups on the surface of enzymes and ZIF-90 to achieve the immobilization of the third enzyme. This bridging molecule can achieve the immobilization of enzymes under mild conditions, reducing the loss of enzyme activity. NHS-PEG n -NHS has good biocompatibility and can form a microenvironment conducive to enzyme catalysis; NHS-PEG n -NHS has an adjustable length and can be applicable to enzymes with different characteristics.
[0045] 5. The immobilized multi-enzyme catalytic material prepared in the present invention maintains the original high-efficiency, mild and specific enzyme catalytic activity of the enzyme, while overcoming the deficiencies of free enzymes, improving the storage stability of the enzyme, increasing the reuse rate, and reducing the reaction cost.
[0046] 6. The immobilized multi-enzyme catalytic material prepared by the present invention exhibits great potential for industrial application. In the sugar nucleotide synthesis pathway, it still maintains good activity in a catalytic environment with a substrate concentration as high as 400 mM. In the synthesis of disaccharides and sugar chains, it still maintains good activity in a catalytic environment with a substrate concentration as high as 300 mM.
[0047] 7. The preparation method of the immobilized multi-enzyme catalytic material of the present invention has good generality and wide universality, and is applicable to multi-enzyme cascade systems for synthesizing different sugars (including heparin, chondroitin, hyaluronic acid, and oligosaccharide enzymatic synthesis systems for human milk oligosaccharides), greatly reducing the workload and cost of immobilization research on different multi-enzyme cascade systems.

[0080] Example 1
[0081] The immobilized multi-enzyme system of this example was prepared by the following method:
[0082] (1) Pour the mixed enzyme solution containing 2 mg / mL of N-acetylhexosamine 1-kinase and 2 mg / mL of uridine transferase into 2 volumes of 320 mM imidazole-2-carboxaldehyde solution and mix evenly; quickly add 160 mM zinc nitrate solution with the same volume as the enzyme solution, stir and react for 0.5 h at a rotation speed of 150 rpm, wash 3 times with deionized water, and resuspend the obtained solid NahK-GlmU@ZIF-90 in deionized water (50 mg / mL).
[0083] (2) Prepare a Tris-HCl solution of 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole with a concentration of 20 mM, and the Tris-HCl buffer is a Tris-HCl buffer with a pH of 7.5 and a concentration of 100 mM. Mix the 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole solution and the NahK-GlmU@ZIF-90 solution obtained above evenly according to a volume ratio of 1:1, heat and stir in a water bath at 40 °C for 1 h at a rotation speed of 150 rpm, wash 3 times with deionized water, and resuspend the obtained solid NahK-GlmU@ZIF-90-NH2 in deionized water (50 mg / mL).
[0084] (3) Resuspend the obtained NahK-GlmU@ZIF-90-NH2 in a solution of 20 mM NHS-PEG5-NHS and 2 mg / mL polyphosphate kinase at a volume ratio of 5:1:3, mix and stir at room temperature for 0.5 h, wash three times with deionized water, centrifuge at 6,000 rpm for 5 min, and freeze-dry the precipitate under vacuum to obtain the immobilized three-enzyme cascade catalytic material NahK-GlmU@ZIF-90@PPK.
[0085] (4) Take ATP (15 mM), UTP (15 mM), monosaccharide substrate GlcNAc (15 mM), MgCl2 (5 mM), and NahK-GlmU@ZIF-90@PPK (0.5 mg / mL) according to the final concentrations in the system. The solvent is 100 mM Tris-HCl buffer with a pH of 7.5. React at 37 °C for 48 h, and detect the glycosyl donor by high-performance liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry. High-performance liquid chromatography conditions: Inertsil ODS-3 chromatographic column (150 mm × 4.6 mm, 5 μm). Mobile phase A is a phosphate buffer composed of 20 mmol / L sodium dihydrogen phosphate and disodium hydrogen phosphate (pH adjusted to 6.2 with phosphoric acid), and mobile phase B is pure methanol. The sample tray temperature is 25 °C, the chromatographic temperature is 25 °C. The detection wavelength is 254 nm, and the injection volume is 20 μL.

[0086] The cascade catalytic reaction involved is as follows:
[0087]
[0088] Use an Amerigo high-resolution zeta potential analyzer to measure the potential of different samples. As Figure 1 shown, the potential of ZIF-90 (synthesis method see step 3 of Comparative Example 3) is 18.5 mV, and the potential of NahK-GlmU@ZIF-90 is -2.7 mV, indicating that the enzyme was successfully encapsulated into the material. The potential of NahK-GlmU@ZIF-90-NH2 is 19.2 mV, indicating successful amination of NahK-GlmU@ZIF-90. The potential of NahK-GlmU@ZIF-90@PPK decreased to -6.8 mV, indicating that the third enzyme was successfully immobilized on the surface of ZIF-90. The morphology of the immobilized material is as Figure 2 shown, and the encapsulation and amination modification of the enzyme do not affect the crystal shape of ZIF-90.
[0089] In the immobilized triple-enzyme cascade system of N-acetylhexosamine 1-kinase, uridine transferase, and polyphosphate kinase, the reaction catalyzed by NahK uses the monosaccharide GlcNAc (Ⅰ) and ATP as substrates to generate GlcNAc-1-P (Ⅱ) and ADP. The reaction catalyzed by GlmU uses GlcNAc-1-P (Ⅱ) and UTP as substrates to generate the sugar nucleotide UDP-GlcNAc (Ⅲ) and UDP. The polyphosphate kinase catalyzes the regeneration of ADP into ATP. The mass spectrometry results are as Figure 3 shown: The theoretical molecular weight of UDP-GlcNAc is 607.08. In the negative ion mode, [M-H] - = 606.2, which is consistent with the theoretical value, indicating that the immobilized multi-enzyme cascade system we established successfully synthesized UDP-GlcNAc. The results of monitoring the generated UDP-GlcNAc using high-performance liquid chromatography showed that the conversion rate of UDP-GlcNAc was 92%; the nuclear magnetic resonance hydrogen spectrum is as Figure 4 shown: 1H NMR (400 MHz, D2O) δ 7.97 (d, J = 8.1 Hz, 1H), 5.98 (dd, J = 7.8, 6.4 Hz, 2H), 5.53 (dd, J = 7.3, 3.3 Hz, 1H), 4.40 - 4.36 (m, 2H), 4.31 - 4.28 (m, 1H), 4.25 (ddd, J = 11.7, 4.6, 2.6 Hz, 1H), 4.20 (ddd, J = 11.8, 5.6, 3.1 Hz, 1H), 4.00 (dt, J = 10.5, 3.0 Hz, 1H), 3.94 (ddd, J = 10.1, 4.4, 2.3 Hz, 1H), 3.90 - 3.86 (m, 1H), 3.84 - 3.80 (m, 2H), 3.56 (dd, J = 10.0, 9.3 Hz, 1H), 2.09 (s, 3H).

[0092]
[0093] In the immobilized triple-enzyme cascade system of N-acetylhexosamine 1-kinase, uridine transferase, and polyphosphate kinase, the reaction catalyzed by NahK uses the monosaccharide GlcNTFA (Ⅰ) and ATP as substrates to generate GlcNTFA-1-P (Ⅱ) and ADP. The reaction catalyzed by GlmU uses GlcNTFA-1-P (Ⅱ) and UTP as substrates to synthesize the sugar nucleotide UDP-GlcNTFA (Ⅲ). The polyphosphate kinase catalyzes the regeneration of ADP into ATP.

[0120] Example 9
[0121] Test the enzyme activity of the immobilized three-enzyme cascade system in Example 4 of the present invention under different environments, and compare it with the enzyme activity of the non-immobilized three-enzyme mixture. The immobilized three-enzyme and free enzyme (the enzyme amount is the same as that of the immobilized enzyme) in Example 4 were respectively placed in solutions at different temperatures (40 °C, 50 °C, 60 °C, 70 °C, and 80 °C) and different pH values (pH 3, pH 4, pH 5, pH 6, pH 7) for 1 h.

The disaccharide produced in each cycle was detected by high-performance liquid chromatography and the conversion rate of the disaccharide was calculated. The results are as Figure 17 shown. After treatment with high temperature or acid, the immobilized enzyme maintained higher activity than the free enzyme.
[0122] Example 10
[0123] Chondroitin disaccharide was prepared by the method provided in Example 5 of the present invention, and solid-liquid separation was carried out. The immobilized multi-enzyme was collected and recycled in the same way to prepare chondroitin disaccharide. The concentration of the disaccharide produced in each cycle was detected by high-performance liquid chromatography, and the conversion rate of the disaccharide was calculated (expressed as the relative disaccharide production concentration, and the concentration of chondroitin disaccharide produced in the first cycle reaction was set as 100%).

[0155] In summary, the immobilized enzyme system prepared by the present invention can tolerate high substrate concentrations (Example 11), which is very important for industrial applications. In general glycosidase reactions, the substrate concentration is generally 5-25 mM. High substrate concentrations will inhibit the enzyme activity. Currently, the high-concentration reaction of the existing technology can reach 200 mM, and the enzyme catalytic activity will decrease sharply at higher concentrations (Comparative Example 2). However, the immobilized catalytic system of the present invention can be applied to the substrate catalysis at 400 mM. At the same time, the immobilized enzyme system of the present invention can be stored for a long time, greatly reducing the enzyme separation and purification process and lowering the cost. The characteristics of kinases, glycosynthases, and glycosyltransferases are different. This immobilization strategy of the present invention can be used in different multi-enzyme cascade systems and can maintain their good activities.
