Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a method for preparing an immobilized ketose 3-epimerase and its application, belonging to the field of immobilized enzyme preparation technology. Background Technology

[0002] D-allulose, classified as a hexulose, is a naturally occurring but extremely rare low-energy functional sugar. It exhibits a certain sweetness without bitterness, and its taste is similar to sucrose. When sucrose is considered a sweetness value of 100, D-allulose has a sweetness value of approximately 70. According to the guidance document from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) (FDA-2019-D-0725), D-allulose provides only 0.4 kcal / g of dietary energy. Due to its low-energy, high-sweetness characteristics, D-allulose shows great potential as a novel sweetener in the production of candies, desserts, bread, and other food processing products. Furthermore, D-allulose can be used in the Maillard process to obtain caramel-like products and maintains relatively stable performance under various pH conditions. Studies have found that the final concentration of D-allulose remained unchanged when the initial pH of the reaction mixture was 4.0 and 6.0; however, when the initial pH was set to 7.5, the retention rate of D-allulose was 91.3%, indicating its stability under normal cooking and production conditions. Although D-allulose cannot be metabolized for energy in the human body, it exhibits many unique physiological functions. Hossain et al. found that D-allulose can partially inhibit the uptake of D-glucose and D-fructose by competitively inhibiting them, which also require glucose transporters. Braunstein et al. found that D-allulose can significantly improve postprandial glucose levels by inhibiting the activity of α-glucosidase and α-amylase in the intestine and promoting the conversion of glucose to glycogen by glucokinase in the liver. Pongkan et al. found that D-allulose can protect mice by enhancing insulin regulation and provides cardioprotection by reducing cardiac mitochondrial dysfunction. Studies by Moon et al. have found that D-allulose can effectively inhibit adipocyte differentiation and hepatic lipase activity, reducing fat accumulation and lowering the probability of obesity. Research by Kimura et al. has reported that D-allulose can regulate the expression of genes related to lipid metabolism and lipogenesis, enhancing energy metabolism by increasing fatty acid oxidation. Furthermore, D-allulose also exhibits anti-inflammatory effects by reducing the levels of inflammatory cytokines. Kanasaki et al. found that D-allulose can regulate cholesterol metabolism by reducing PCSK9 protein in hamster serum and increase the uptake of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol by hepatocytes. The diverse functional properties exhibited by D-allulose in physiological studies lay a theoretical foundation for its further application research.

[0003] According to Izumoring's rare sugar conversion strategy, ketose 3-epimerase (KEase) plays an irreplaceable role in the bioconversion of D-allulose, catalyzing a reversible epimerization reaction of D-fructose at the C-3 position to generate D-allulose. Currently, research on ketose 3-epimerase is quite extensive, including microbial screening and identification, enzyme isolation and purification, heterologous recombinant expression, enzyme immobilization, food-grade expression, molecular modification, and crystal structure determination. In downstream research on D-allulose production, controlling production costs is crucial; therefore, the immobilization of ketose 3-epimerase, the isolation and purification of D-allulose, and the exploration of low-cost raw materials are key technical focuses.

[0004] Free enzymes suffer from drawbacks such as inability to be reused and poor stability, leading to the increasing adoption of immobilized enzyme and cell immobilization technologies. Current reports on the immobilization of ketose 3-epimerases are hampered by issues such as complex procedures, low enzyme activity, and difficulty in separating them from the reaction system, hindering their application in practical industrial production. Therefore, developing an immobilized ketose 3-epimerase that is simple to operate, highly stable, easily separable, and has a high reusability rate for industrial production is a problem that needs to be solved. Summary of the Invention

[0101] (1) Preparation of enzyme solution:

[0102] The crude enzyme solution was diluted to 0.4 mg / mL using an enzyme solution prepared with 50 mM, pH 8.0 Tris-HCl buffer.

[0103] (2) Weigh 0.5 g of resin, add 2 mL of the enzyme solution obtained in step (1), and add enzyme at a concentration of 0.4 mg protein / g resin.

[0104] The results are as follows Figure 5 As shown in the figure, the optimal crosslinking time is 1 hour.

[0105] Example 8: Determination of the optimal pH of the enzyme before and after immobilization.

[0106] The enzyme reaction was carried out using acetate buffer (50 mM, pH range 4.0-6.0), PBS buffer (50 mM, pH range 6.0-7.5), and Tris-HCl buffer (50 mM, pH range 7.5-9.0) as buffer systems, respectively. Except for the change in the buffer solutions, the other reaction and detection conditions were the same as described in Example 3.

[0107] The optimal reaction pH is the pH corresponding to the highest enzyme activity. To compare the effect of different reaction pH on recombinant enzyme activity, the enzyme activity at the optimal reaction pH was set as 100% relative enzyme activity, and the relative enzyme activity at other pH values ​​was calculated.

[0108] The relative enzyme activity of the immobilized enzyme prepared according to the method of the optimal resin D301 in Example 2 and the crude enzyme solution before immobilization prepared in Example 1 were tested according to the enzyme activity detection method.

[0109] Results are attached to the instruction manual. Figure 6 The optimal pH for immobilized enzymes is 5.5. It is noteworthy that at pH 4.0, the free enzyme completely loses its activity, but the immobilized enzyme retains 80% of its activity. This indicates that the immobilized enzyme has strong pH tolerance and will not become inactive in acidic environments, which suggests promising industrial applications.

[0110] Example 9: Test of enzyme thermostability before and after immobilization.

[0111] The crude enzyme solution of Laen prepared in Example 2 and the immobilized enzyme prepared by the method of the optimal resin D301 in Example 2 were placed at 60 and 65°C for constant temperature incubation, respectively. At certain intervals, the crude enzyme and immobilized enzyme incubated under different conditions were taken out, and the residual enzyme activity was determined according to the enzyme activity detection method.

[0112] The results are as follows Figure 7 As shown, the results are as follows:

[0113] After incubation at 60 and 65℃ for 6 hours, the residual enzyme activity of the immobilized enzyme reached over 80%, while the residual enzyme activity of the crude enzyme solution was 60% (60℃) and less than 20% (65℃), respectively. The residual enzyme activity of the immobilized enzyme was higher than that of the free enzyme, indicating that the immobilized enzyme has better thermal stability and is more tolerant to high temperatures.

[0114] Example 10: Reusability test of immobilized enzyme.

[0115] Weigh 1g of the immobilized enzyme prepared by the optimal resin D301 method in Example 2, and add it to 1mL of the reaction system: 100g / L fructose, 50mM PBS 6.0 solution, 1mM Ni 2+ The reaction was carried out continuously at 70℃. 100 μL of the reaction solution after 5 min was taken to determine the D-allulose yield. The reaction time was 2 h. After the reaction, the immobilized enzyme was washed three times with deionized water, and fresh reaction solution was added before the next batch was reacted. The operation was repeated, and the enzyme activity of each batch was calculated by HPLC to analyze the reusability of the immobilized enzyme.

[0116] The results are as follows Figure 8 As shown, the results indicate that after 20 repeated uses, the residual enzyme activity was still 60%. After 20 repeated uses, the residual enzyme activity decreased rapidly, and after 30 repeated uses, the residual enzyme activity was only 27%.
