Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of biocatalysis technology, in particular to enzyme mutants and applications thereof. Background Art

[0002] D-amino acid oxidase (DAAO) is a class of flavin adenine dinucleotide-containing oxidoreductases that catalyze the oxidative dehydrogenation of D-amino acids to produce the corresponding α-keto acids, hydrogen peroxide, and ammonia. This class of enzymes is widely distributed in nature, primarily originating from eukaryotes and a few prokaryotes. As a classic biocatalyst, D-amino acid oxidase boasts mild reaction conditions, a broad substrate spectrum, and excellent enantioselectivity, making it valuable in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, pesticides, and fine chemicals.

[0003] D-amino acid oxidase is currently widely used in the preparation of L-phosphinothricin (L-PPT), the primary active compound in racemic glufosinate that exerts herbicidal activity. Therefore, replacing racemic glufosinate with L-phosphinothricin can save half the amount of glufosinate required, thereby reducing pesticide usage and lowering farmers' weed control costs. Green et al. used RgDAAO and the Escherichia coli transaminase EcgabT to perform a deracemization reaction, converting DL-phosphinothricin to L-phosphinothricin with a conversion efficiency of 85% and an ee value of >99%. Xue Yaping et al. used RgDAAO and Pseudomonas transaminase to perform a deracemization reaction, converting DL-phosphinothricin to L-phosphinothricin. The remaining D-phosphinothricin (D-PPT) was 0.8 mM, with a conversion efficiency of 48.4% (maximum theoretical conversion of 50%) and a resulting concentration of 2-carbonyl-4-[hydroxy(methyl)phosphono]butyric acid (PPO) of 20 mM. Tian Zhenhua et al., using site-directed mutagenesis of DAAO from Rhodotorula, improved its enzyme activity, stability, and / or ammonium tolerance. Xie Xinkai et al., using gene mutation and directed enzyme evolution, modified DAAO from the three aforementioned sources, obtaining DAAO with increased stability and / or enhanced activity toward D-phosphinothricin. Yang Lirong et al., using Neurospora crassa NcDAAO and Pseudomonas sp. GluDH, performed a deracemization reaction to convert DL-phosphinothricin to L-phosphinothricin. At a substrate concentration of 20 mM, the conversion rate was 99.4% and the ee value was 99.1%. Cheng Feng et al., using aspartate oxidase CeDAAO and a mutant glutamate dehydrogenase, converted DL-phosphinothricin to L-phosphinothricin, achieving a substrate conversion rate of 98.6% and a product ee value of 99%. Xia Shiwen et al. used D-amino acid oxidase in whole cells of Bacillus xylosinolyticus XX-2 to catalyze the oxidative deamination of D-phosphinothricin to 2-carbonyl-4-[hydroxy(methyl)phosphono]butyric acid (PPO), while L-phosphinothricin was retained. The overall reaction yield was >70% and the optical purity was >99%.

[0004] The use of D-amino acid oxidase to split D,L-glufosinate to prepare L-glufosinate has become a research hotspot. Therefore, improving the yield of PPO is of great significance. Summary of the Invention

[0084] Preparation Example

[0085] 1. Preparation process of wild-type DAAO enzyme:

[0086] The nucleotide sequence of the wild-type ssDAAO enzyme from Sporidiobolus salmonicolor with GenBank accession number CEQ39319.1 retrieved by NCBI is SEQ ID NO.1, and the amino acid sequence is SEQ ID NO.2. The wild-type ssDAAO enzyme gene was fully synthesized, and the gene synthesis was completed by Hangzhou Qingke Zixi Biotechnology Co., Ltd.

[0087] Based on SEQ ID NO. 1, primers were designed to amplify the full-length ssDAAO enzyme gene, introducing an NdeI restriction endonuclease site at the 5' end and an XhoI restriction endonuclease site at the 3' end. The full-length ssDAAO fragment was amplified using a high-fidelity PCR enzyme. The pET28a empty vector plasmid was provided by Hangzhou Qingke Zixi Biotechnology Co., Ltd. The PCR product was purified using a PCR product purification kit purchased from Sangon Biotech (Shanghai) Co., Ltd.

[0088] The purified PCR product was digested with NdeI-XhoI, and simultaneously, the purified pET28a empty vector plasmid was digested with NdeI-XhoI. The size of the digested fragments was verified by 0.7% agarose gel electrophoresis. The fragments were connected using T4 ligase, which was purchased from Takara. The ligation product was used to transform Ecoli.BL21 (DE3) cells, which were purchased from Beijing Quanshijin Biotechnology Co., Ltd., and the transformation product was coated on LB solid culture medium containing 50 μg / L kan (kanamycin sulfate). Positive transformants were detected using the colony PCR method, and the positive transformants were used to induce the production of DAAO enzyme.

[0089] 2. Design and screening steps of DAAO enzyme mutants

[0090] Based on the amino acid sequence of the wild-type ssDAAO enzyme, mutation sites were further added, and the mutant sequence was commissioned to Hangzhou Qingke Zixi for sequence synthesis. The amino acid sequence numbering is shown in Table 2, and the strain was constructed according to the above method.

[0093] Each single colony was inoculated into a 50 mL Erlenmeyer flask containing 20 mL of LB liquid culture medium containing 50 μg / mL Kan, and cultured with shaking at 37°C and 150 rpm for 16 h. Then, 20 mL of LB culture medium containing 50 μg / mL Kan was added at an inoculation ratio of 2%, and cultured with shaking at 37°C and 150 rpm for 4 h. 100 μL of 100 mM IPTG was added, and expression was induced at 28°C and 150 rpm for 6 h. The fermentation supernatant was removed by centrifugation, and the bacterial sludge was treated with BugBuster protein extract (purchased from Novagen) for D-amino acid oxidase activity detection.

[0094] 3. Enzyme activity detection of different DAAO mutants

[0095] Microplate reader assay method: 100 μL of 100 mM substrate (racemic glufosinate ammonium, purchased from Shanghai Aladdin Biochemical Technology Co., Ltd.) at pH 8.0 was added to 50 μL of a colorimetric solution containing 60 μg / mL TBHBA (3-hydroxy-2,4,6-tribromobenzoic acid) and 1 mg / mL 4-AAP (4-aminoantipyrine), along with 25 μL of horseradish peroxidase (0.1 mg / mL) HRP. Finally, 25 μL of the aforementioned DAAO mutant enzyme solution was added to create a 200 μL reaction system on a microplate. The assay was performed at 30°C and pH 8.0. The absorbance at 510 nm was recorded at 0 and 20 minutes, and the difference was calculated. Positive clones were screened using the wild-type as a reference. The results are shown in Table 3.

[0097]

[0098] 4. Fermentation Scale-up

[0099] The fermentation of Escherichia coli DAAO-SS-1 and Escherichia coli DAAO-SS-4 was carried out in a 10-liter fermenter. The culture medium required for the fermentation was added with the following formula: 10 g / L animal peptone, 5 g / L yeast extract powder, 10 g / L sodium chloride, and 0.05% defoamer.

[0100] The fermentation process can be roughly divided into 3 stages:

[0101] (1) Cultivation stage: 1% seed solution inoculation, cultivation at 37°C, initial stirring starting from 200 rpm, adjusted every half hour, and maintained at 500 rpm; ventilation volume from 0.2m 3 / h, and adjust it every half hour synchronously with the stirring to 2m 3 / h to maintain the state, and this stage lasted a total of 4 hours;

[0102] (2) Feeding stage: Glucose (500 g / L) was fed when the dissolved oxygen recovered and the pH increased. The feeding rate was adjusted according to the pH change. Ammonia was used to adjust the acidity and maintain the whole culture state. This stage lasted for 1 h.

[0103] (3) Induction stage: measuring the OD of the fermentation liquid 600 At about 6 to 10 o'clock, the temperature was lowered and induced. The inducer was IPTG at a concentration of 0.1%, the temperature was 28°C, and the rotation speed was 500 rpm. Glucose was continuously added during this period. The induction lasted for 18 hours, and the cells were removed from the tank and the wet cells were collected by centrifugation.

[0104] By measuring the D-amino acid oxidase activity in the fermentation broth at different times, a fermentation progress curve was generated. The results showed that the D-amino acid oxidase activity in the final fermentation broth of the starting strain E. coli DAAO-SS-1 was 5.3 U / mL, while that of the mutant strain E. coli DAAO-SS-4 was 9.7 U / mL, an 83.0% increase over the starting strain, achieving unexpected technical results.

[0120] Comparative Example: Wild-type DAAO (DAAO-SS) catalytic reaction test

[0121] The wild-type strain Escherichia coli DAAO-SS fermentation broth was centrifuged to collect wet cells, which were weighed and resuspended in 50 mM pH 8.0 phosphate buffer at 10% (wt%). The cells were lysed using an ultrasonic disruptor (power 400 W, 15 s on, 15 s off pulse treatment for 30 min) in an ice bath. The cells were centrifuged at 8000 rpm for 15 min at 4°C, and the precipitate was discarded. The supernatant was the crude enzyme solution of the DAAO mutant and set aside.

[0122] Reaction system: Dissolve 10g of D,L-glufosinate ammonium salt (prepared in our laboratory, purity ≥95%) in a certain amount of water, place in a four-necked flask, add 20mL of crude enzyme solution of DAAO-SS wild-type strain, add 1mL of catalase (50,000U / mL, purchased externally), add water to 200mL, introduce oxygen (1VVM), start stirring at 200rpm, and start the reaction. During the process, control the pH between 7.0 and 8.0. Samples are taken every hour until the reaction is completed after 7 hours. The D-glufosinate remaining in the sample at the reaction end point is 237.43mM, and the conversion rate is 5.35%.

[0123] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principles of the present invention. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as the scope of protection of the present invention.
