Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of biotechnology, and in particular to a directed evolution method for improving the thermal stability of phospholipase D. Background Art

[0002] Phospholipids is a general term for compounds containing phosphate groups. The molecular structure consists of two long hydrophobic carbon chains and a polar head. Phospholipids were first discovered in egg yolks and are the main components of cell membranes of living organisms. They are widely distributed in various cell tissues of animals and plants, and are responsible for signal transduction and promoting metabolism. The main physiological activity of phospholipids is determined by its polar head. According to the type of polar head, phospholipids can be divided into: phosphatidylcholine (PC), phosphatidylerhanolamine (PE), phosphatidylserine (PS), phosphatidylinositol (PI), phosphatidylglycerol (PG), etc. Although phospholipids are widely distributed in nature and there are many types, the distribution of these phospholipids in nature is very uneven. Among them, PS is an essential active substance present on the cell membrane. It can regulate membrane proteins to be quickly absorbed by the human body, efficiently cross the brain-blood barrier, and safely slow down or even repair damaged cell membranes of nerve cells in the human brain. Thereby improving the patient's cognitive ability, learning ability and memory ability, it has a certain auxiliary effect on the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. It is mainly extracted from soybeans and also exists in brain cells and peanuts. In animals, PS mainly exists in cells of the brain and liver. Since animals are prone to disease, the safety of the product is threatened; in plants, PC has a higher content of phospholipids. Relatively speaking, the content of PS is very small and difficult to extract. Therefore, the synthesis of PS by enzyme conversion came into being, which has the advantages of stable operation and high specificity.

[0003] Phospholipase D (PLD) is a special phospholipid hydrolase that can catalyze the hydrolysis of phospholipids, release the polar head of the original phospholipids, and generate phosphatidic acid (PA). In addition, in the presence of a second substrate (nucleophilic reagents such as serine, ethanolamine, glycerol, etc.), phospholipase D can catalyze the cleavage of the phosphodiester bond of phospholipids and promote the combination of phosphoryl groups with nucleophilic reagents to generate new phospholipids. The phosphatidyl transfer reaction catalyzed by PLD is currently the most widely used and most effective method for artificial synthesis of PS.

[0004] However, the currently known PLD phosphatidyl transfer activity, reaction selectivity and stability need to be improved. Molecular docking technology studies the possibility of substrate-enzyme binding, and molecular dynamics simulation is used to determine the stability of the binding complex. The direction and extent of the reaction are further determined by binding free energy analysis between substrate and enzyme. The rational design of proteins can minimize the experimental workload of site-directed mutagenesis. Considering that each mutation site has 20 mutations (19 substitution mutations and 1 deletion mutation), biomolecular simulation technology can be used to virtually screen mutant libraries, greatly improving the actual mutation efficiency. However, there are almost no reports on the research on virtual mutation to improve the catalytic performance of PLD, resulting in a lack of directionality in the research of PLD site-directed mutagenesis.

[0043] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the embodiments.

[0044] Example 1. A method for constructing a phospholipase D mutant Escherichia coli strain

[0045] The invention considers calculating the relative folding free energy of phospholipase D, and predicting the stability of PLD after the amino acids at the binding sites of phospholipase D and substrate molecules phosphatidylcholine (PC) and L-ser (L-ser) are mutated into 19 other amino acids based on the free energy, thereby determining the directed evolution strategy of phospholipase D.

[0046] 1.1 Determine the binding site of PLD

[0047] The software AutoDockVina was used to perform molecular docking of PLD (2ZE4) with the substrate PC and L-ser, respectively, to determine the binding sites between the substrate molecule and the enzyme molecule. Figure 1 and attached Figure 2 As shown, the binding sites of PC and 2ZE4 are several amino acid sites among 85-95, 120-130, 160-170, 185-190, 340-350, 370-39, and 440-470; when the binding free energy is -5.7780 kcal / mol, the binding sites of L-ser and 2ZE4 are several amino acid sites among 70-90 and 170-205.

[0048] 1.2 Determine the mutation site of PLD

[0049] The effect of mutation on protein is calculated by the free energy difference between the two states of protein. For example, the thermodynamic stability of protein is related to the change of free energy (ΔΔG) between folded and unfolded states. The relative folding free energy of phospholipase D is calculated using FoldX3b5.1 version of YASARAPlugin. The stability of PLD is predicted based on the free energy after the amino acids at the binding sites of phospholipase D and substrate molecules phosphatidylcholine (PC) and L-ser (L-ser) are mutated into 19 other amino acids, thereby determining the directed evolution strategy of phospholipase D.

[0050] Among them, the folding free energy difference before and after PLD mutation is ddG fold As attached Figure 3 As shown in the figure, different colors represent different ranges of ddGfold, where the smaller the ddGfold, the higher the thermal stability of the mutant enzyme. The corresponding relationship between ddGfold (kcal / mol) and thermal stability is: >+1.84, highly unstable; +0.92-+1.84, unstable; +0.46-+0.92, slightly unstable; -0.46-+0.46, neutral; -0.92--0.46, slightly unstable; -1.84--0.92, stable; <-1.84, highly stable. This study selected several amino acid sites with high protein stability structures ( Figure 2 Single point mutation was performed on PLD (in the middle blue area). In this embodiment, the mutation sites selected were S87, A122, A123, Y126, H168, Y191, D202, R377, N459, and G381, and the amino acids at these mutation sites corresponded to Ser, Ala, Ala, Tyr, His, Tyr, Asp, Arg, Asn, and Gly, respectively.

[0051] 1.3 Design of PLD mutation primers

[0052] The wild-type E. coli TOP10 / pBADKP-PLD2 containing the PLD gene (Genebank no.MH237968) from Streptomyces antibioticus was constructed by our research group and stored in a -80℃ refrigerator. The phospholipase D nucleotide sequence expressed by this PLD gene is shown in SEQ ID NO.1. Take an appropriate amount of frozen bacterial liquid and use LB medium (tryptone 10g / L, yeast powder 5g / L, sodium chloride 10g / L) to culture at 37℃, 200rpm for 12h, then use PlasmidMini KitⅠ kit to extract the plasmid pBADKP containing the target gene PLD as a template for mutation PCR. Then use Primer X online software to design mutation primers. The specific mutation sites and primer sequences are shown in Table 1.

[0068] 1. Extraction of Phospholipase D from Cell Culture Medium

[0069] Take a small amount of bacteria from the glycerol cryopreserved tube of TOP10 / pBADKP-PLD2, inoculate it in a 50mL conical flask containing 10mL LB medium, shake it at 37℃, 200rpm, and culture it overnight (12-16h). According to the 1% inoculation amount, transfer it to a 250mL groove conical flask containing 20mL TB medium, shake it at 37℃, 200rpm, and culture it for 5-6h until the OD600 is 5-6. Centrifuge at 10℃, 5000rpm for 5min to collect the bacteria, add TB adjustment medium according to the same volume before centrifugation, resuspend the cells, and add 0.035%·OD600-1 arabinose and different concentrations of chemicals (such as DTT, ethanol, butanol, antibiotics, etc.), shake it at 18℃, 200rpm, and induce expression for 16h. Take 1mL of bacterial solution and centrifuge at 10000rpm for 5min at 10℃. Resuspend the cells in the precipitate with 1mL of PLD extract (10mM EDTA, 0.05% sodium deoxycholate, 200mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.5). Place at room temperature for 1h, vortex for 5s every 20min. Centrifuge at 4℃, 13000rpm for 10min, and take the supernatant as the intracellular phospholipase D component to measure the enzyme activity.

[0070] Example 3. Determination of the phospholipase D hydrolase activity expressed by the 14 mutant strains and the original strain of Example 2 and determination of the phosphatidylserine (PS) synthesis catalyzed by lecithin

[0071] 1. Determination of phospholipase D hydrolase activity

[0072] The specific steps of the phospholipase D enzyme activity assay method include:

[0073] (1) Substrate solution: 76 mg of phosphatidylcholine (PC, from soybean, >98%, Aladdin Reagent, Shanghai, China), dissolved in 10 mL of 5% Triton X-100 (w / v) solution;

[0074] (2) Reaction solution: 0.1 mL of 0.1 M Tris-maleate-NaOH (pH 5.5) solution, 0.1 mL of 2.5% Triton X-100 solution, and 0.05 mL of 0.01 M CaCl2 solution; 0.1 mL of enzyme sample was mixed with 0.25 mL of reaction solution;

[0075] (3) 0.15 L of substrate solution and the above mixed solution were incubated in a 37°C water bath for 5 min;

[0076] (4) Add 0.1 mL of enzyme sample to the reaction solution and react in a 37°C water bath for 10 min;

[0077] (5) Immediately add 0.2 mL of stop solution (1 M Tris-HCl, pH 8.0, 0.5 M EDTA) and incubate at 100 °C in a metal bath for 15 min; (6) Cool the reaction solution to room temperature, add 0.2 mL of color development solution (0.1 M Tris-HCl (pH 8.0), 1.25 U choline oxidase, 1 U peroxidase, 1 μmol 4-aminoantipyrine and 1.6 μmol phenol), and incubate at 37 °C in a water bath for 1 h;

[0078] (7) Dilute the reaction solution at a ratio of 1:8 and add 1% Triton X-100. Take 0.2 mL of the sample and measure the absorbance at 500 nm on a microplate reader. Use different concentrations of choline chloride solution instead of the enzyme sample to determine the standard curve. The absorbance value is in the range of 0-0.22, and the choline concentration is in the range of 0-0.25 μmol. The two have a good linear correlation.

[0079] According to the above conditions, the amount of phospholipase D that releases 1 μmol of choline per minute is defined as one enzyme activity unit (U).

[0080] 2. Phospholipase D catalyzes the synthesis of phosphatidylserine (PS) from lecithin

[0081] Take 0.75mL crude enzyme solution and 0.75mL PLD extract solution (10mMEDTA, 0.05% sodium deoxycholate, 200mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.5) containing 1M L-serine and 50mM anhydrous calcium chloride, add 3mL of ether solution with a PC concentration of 10mM, and react at 32°C, 200rpm for two hours. After centrifugation at 4000rpm at room temperature for 3min, take 2mL of the upper ether solution containing PS, blow dry with nitrogen, freeze in a -20°C refrigerator, and then detect the PS concentration by HPLC.

[0082] 3. Detection and analysis of product PS

[0083] The PS product after nitrogen drying was re-dissolved with 2 mL of mobile phase (n-hexane: isopropanol: 1% acetic acid solution = 8:8:1 (V:V:V)) and then the PS content was detected by HPLC. The HPLC conditions were as follows: chromatographic column: ShimNex S-Sil-SB (250 mm × 4.6 mm, 5 μm); column temperature: 30 ° C; flow rate: 1.5 mL / min; injection volume: 10 μL; detector: UV detector; wavelength: 203 nm.

[0084] The yield of PS is calculated as follows:

[0085]

[0086] The hydrolase activity and transacylation activity of PLD expressed by the mutant strains are shown in the attached figure. Figure 4 As shown and Table 4.

[0087] Table 4 Hydrolase activity and transacylation activity of PLD expressed by the original strain and mutant strain

[0088]

[0089]

[0090] After single-point mutation, compared with the original strain (WT), the PS conversion rates of mutants G381M, A122M, A122L, and R377M were improved, while the PS conversion rates of mutants H168Y and H168F were almost zero.

[0091] Example 4. Determination of the thermal stability of enzymes expressed by 11 mutant strains and the original strain

[0092] The crude enzyme solutions of 11 phospholipase D WT, Y126M, Y191M, G381M, A122M, A122L, A123P, R377M, S87N, D202M, and D202V in Example 3, which were substantially unchanged or improved compared with WT, were placed in a 60°C water bath for insulation, and then 0.75 mL of the enzyme solution was taken out every 30 minutes to catalyze the reaction of PC and L-ser to generate PS according to the method in Example 3. Remaining PLD transacyl activity (%) = PS yield after insulation / PS yield before insulation × 100%. The results of the thermal stability test of the phospholipase D expressed by the 11 mutant strains and the original strain are shown in Table 5.

[0093] Table 5 The residual enzyme activity percentage of different mutant enzymes after incubation at 60℃ for different time periods

[0094]

[0095] Compared with WT, the thermal stability of mutants Y126M, G381M, A122M, A122L, A123P, and S87N showed no obvious change, and all were close to inactivation after 90 minutes of incubation. However, the thermal stability of Y191M, D202M, and D202V was significantly reduced, and the enzyme was completely inactivated after 30 minutes of incubation. Surprisingly, the thermal stability of mutant R377M was significantly improved, and the enzyme activity could still be maintained at about 80% after 120 minutes of incubation.
