Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of biochemical engineering, and in particular to a ketoreductase and application thereof in in vitro biosynthesis of (R)-6-hydroxy-8-chlorooctanoic acid ethyl ester. Background Art

[0002] (R)-6-Hydroxy-8-chlorooctanoic acid ethyl ester is a chiral intermediate of (R)-α-lipoic acid. Lipoic acid (LA, commonly referred to as α-lipoic acid) is a water-insoluble white or pale yellow crystal widely distributed in plant and animal tissues. α-Lipoic acid is a safe, effective, and potent antioxidant, known as the "universal antioxidant." It has been shown to relieve fatigue, slow aging, and prevent memory loss. Lipoic acid has two enantiomers, with (R)-α-lipoic acid being much more effective than (S)-α-lipoic acid. (R)-α-lipoic acid belongs to the vitamin B class, acting as a coenzyme in multiple enzyme complexes and playing a key role in the tricarboxylic acid cycle and photosynthesis. Clinically, (R)-α-lipoic acid is increasingly used to treat diseases such as neurological diabetes and ischemia-reperfusion. In addition, (R)-α-lipoic acid is also effective in treating a variety of diseases and can effectively inhibit the spread of HIV-1 in cells.

[0003] As lipoic acid is increasingly used in medicine, food and health products, the global annual demand for lipoic acid continues to grow, currently at a rate of approximately 10%. However, its production is far behind demand. The huge supply gap has given lipoic acid an important market position in domestic and foreign markets.

[0004] Currently, lipoic acid is primarily produced through chemical synthesis, with two methods depending on the raw materials: the adipic acid method and the cyclohexanone method. However, both methods involve complex processes and employ chemical raw materials, along with the use of extensive amounts of toxic catalysts during the synthesis process. This raises serious questions about the safety of the product and poses significant environmental risks. Furthermore, chemically synthesized lipoic acid is a mixture of equal amounts of (R)-α-lipoic acid and (S)-α-lipoic acid, requiring further separation to obtain the biologically active (R)-α-lipoic acid. Furthermore, the price difference between the mixed lipoic acid and (R)-α-lipoic acid is significant. Summary of the Invention

[0031] The technical solution of the present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0032] The biological materials used in the following examples, including the pET28a vector and E. coli DE3 competent cells, were purchased commercially. To prepare PBS buffer, weigh 40 g NaCl, 1 g KCl, 7.2 g Na₂HPO₄, and 1.2 g KH₂PO₄ and dissolve them in 800 mL of distilled water. Adjust the solution to 7.0 with HCl, and finally add distilled water to a volume of 1 L to obtain 50 mM PBS buffer.

[0033] Example 1

[0034] S1 vector construction and cloning: The gene with the nucleotide sequence shown in SEQ ID NO. 6 was seamlessly ligated with the vector pET28a to obtain the recombinant vector pET28a-SCR-1. The recombinant vector was treated as follows: 10 μl of the recombinant vector was added to 100 μl of E. coli BL21 (DE3) competent cells in an ice bath, followed by an ice bath for 30 min, a heat shock at 42°C for 60 s, and another ice bath for 5 min. 300 μl of 37°C antibiotic-free LB medium was added to the tube and the cells were shaken at 37°C and 200 rpm for 1 h. The cells were then plated on a kanamycin-resistant solid LB plate and incubated at 37°C. After colonies grew, single colonies were picked with an autoclaved toothpick and marked on the kanamycin-resistant LB plate for seed preservation. The corresponding bacteria and the marked area on the plate were marked accordingly.

[0035] S2 Verification: Then, 20 μl of PCR Mix with T7 universal primers was stirred evenly and PCR amplification was performed. The PCR reaction conditions were as follows: 95°C for 15 min, denaturation at 94°C for 15 s, annealing at 55°C for 15 s, and extension at 72°C for 1 min. 30 cycles were performed, and finally, 72°C was incubated for 5 min. After PCR amplification, electrophoresis was performed to observe the results. Positive clones were obtained, which were the recombinant E. coli strain containing the target enzyme gene: pET28a-SCR-1 recombinant E. coli;

[0036] Expression and extraction of S3 enzyme: pET28a-SCR-1 recombinant Escherichia coli was picked into LB medium containing kanamycin resistance, cultured at 37°C to an OD of about 1.0, and then IPTG was added at a final concentration of 0.2 mM. The culture was induced at 28°C for 16 hours. The bacteria were then centrifuged at 7000g / min for 6 minutes to collect the cells. After discarding the supernatant culture medium, the cells were resuspended in 100mM PBS solution at a ratio of cell weight: PBS solution = 1g:5ml. The resuspended cells were crushed with a high-pressure cell disruptor to obtain an enzyme-containing lysate. After centrifugation at 35000g / min for 30 minutes, the supernatant was extracted to obtain a crude enzyme solution of the target enzyme.

[0037] S4 purification: The enzyme-containing supernatant is passed through a Ni column, and then eluted with different gradients of imidazole solution. The Ni column eluate with the highest enzyme content is then passed through a Q column, and then eluted with different gradients of salt solution (mainly NaCl) to obtain a preliminarily purified enzyme-containing solution. The preliminarily purified enzyme-containing solution is dialyzed for 12 hours to finally obtain a purified enzyme solution of the target enzyme;
