Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of genetic engineering technology, and in particular to a nicotinamide mononucleotide adenosine transferase mutant and its applications. Background Technology

[0002] Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) is an important coenzyme and a crucial molecule in all living cells. Its phosphorylated and reduced forms (NADP, NADH, and NADPH) can accept and supply hydrides in living organisms, act as electron carriers, participate in various enzymatic redox reactions, play this important role in cellular metabolism and energy production, and serve as a substrate for NAD-dependent signal transduction.

[0003] L-Glufosinate (L-PPT) is a widely used broad-spectrum non-selective herbicide worldwide, characterized by its broad range of action, low toxicity, high efficiency, and good environmental compatibility. High-efficiency production of L-PPT can be achieved by exogenously adding NAD, which gradually participates in the reaction through a multi-enzyme cascade catalysis of PPO.

[0004] There are chemical and biological methods for synthesizing NAD. Chemical synthesis has several drawbacks, such as: cumbersome processes, long reaction cycles, complex purification procedures, low product purification rates, and low yields. Furthermore, chemical processes involve numerous silica gel column and chromatographic column procedures, which are time-consuming and limit its industrial applications.

[0005] The biosynthesis of NAD includes yeast fermentation and enzymatic synthesis. Chinese patent application CN112322511A discloses that Huzhou Yisheng Biotechnology Co., Ltd. obtained a vigorous, high-yielding NAD-producing mutant strain using UV mutagenesis, starting with an NAD-producing yeast strain. This mutant strain was inoculated into 50 mL of optimized fermentation medium with added exogenous substrates (inosine 3 g / L, nicotinamide Nm 6 g / L) and cultured at 30°C and 220 rpm for 3 days. Fermentation was then stopped, ultimately yielding a fermentation broth containing 40.65 g (kg DCW) of NAD. However, yeast cell fermentation has the following drawbacks: yeast grows slowly, and the long fermentation cycle leads to low production efficiency; moreover, NAD is mainly found in the mitochondria of yeast cells, and the production of NAD by yeast cell fermentation requires cell wall disruption and purification. Commonly used cell wall disruption methods include temperature difference method (heat treatment method) and high pressure homogenization method. Temperature difference method has unsatisfactory cell wall disruption effect, and high pressure homogenization method is not suitable for large-scale industrial production. The commonly used purification method is column elution, but the elution process is cumbersome and time-consuming, which is not conducive to industrial production, and the NAD purity and yield are low.

[0006] Therefore, in vitro enzymatic synthesis has become a commonly used method for preparing NAD. However, the insufficient catalytic efficiency of nicotinamide mononucleotide adenosyltransferase (NMN) currently hinders its industrial application in NAD production. Providing a highly efficient NMN mononucleotide adenosyltransferase is of great significance for increasing NAD yield, reducing enzyme dosage, lowering NAD production costs, and enabling the widespread industrial application of NAD in various redox reactions.

[0039] Example 3 Large-scale preparation of bacterial cells Because the conversion of β-nicotinamide mononucleotide to nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide requires a large amount of biocatalyst, large-scale preparation using bacterial cells is necessary. The specific preparation method is as follows: Single colonies of the preserved nicotinamide mononucleotide adenosyltransferase were inoculated into 10 mL of LB liquid medium containing 50 μg / mL ampicillin resistance and cultured at 37°C with shaking for 12 h. Then, a 2% inoculum was transferred to 50 mL of TB liquid medium also containing 50 μg / mL ampicillin resistance and cultured at 37°C with shaking until OD... 600 When the concentration reaches approximately 0.8, add IPTG to a final concentration of 0.1 mM and incubate with shaking at 24°C for 12 hours. After incubation, centrifuge the culture medium at 8000 rpm for 10 minutes, discard the supernatant, collect the bacterial cells, and store them at -20°C for later use.

[0041] Example 4: Determination of the activity of wild-type and mutant nicotinamide mononucleotide adenosyltransferase The activity of wild-type nicotinamide mononucleotide adenosyltransferase was determined as follows: (1) Prepare the substrate solution: The final concentration of the substrate solution system is 200mM NMN, 300mM ATP-Na2, and 300mM MgCl2. Adjust the pH of the substrate solution system to 7.5 with ammonia water, and make up the volume with 200mM PB buffer.

[0042] (2) Preparation of whole cell solution: Weigh a certain mass of the bacterial cells placed in a -20℃ freezer, and resuspend the bacterial cells in 200mM PB buffer to obtain a whole cell suspension with a final bacterial cell concentration of 10g / L.

[0044] (4) Termination of reaction: Take 100µL of sample into a 1.5mL EP tube containing 5µL of 6M HCl to terminate the reaction, and then centrifuge at 12000rpm for 2min to collect the supernatant.

[0045] (5) Sample preparation: Take the supernatant and dilute it 200 times, then remove impurities from the diluted sample using a 0.22µm filter.

[0047] (7) Definition of enzyme activity unit: Under the above reaction conditions, the amount of enzyme required to catalyze the production of 1 μmol NAD from NMN and ATP per minute is defined as one enzyme activity unit (U).

The mixture was centrifuged at 12000 rpm for 2 min, and the supernatant was collected and diluted with ultrapure water. After dilution, the solution was filtered through a 0.22 μm aqueous filter membrane. HPLC was used to detect the consumption of the substrate NMN and the formation of the product NAD.

[0051] The variant enzyme S97A-Q10A-F119W generated 159 mM NAD after 2 hours of reaction, achieving a molar conversion of 99% to NMN, while the wild-type enzyme generated 147.47 mM NAD after 4 hours of reaction, achieving a molar conversion of 92% to NMN.

The reaction system was carried out in a metal bath at 40℃ and 600 rpm. A 100 μL sample was taken every 30 min. For sample processing, 5 μL of 6 M HCl was added to terminate the reaction. The sample was centrifuged at 12000 rpm for 2 min, and the supernatant was collected and diluted with ultrapure water. After dilution, the sample was filtered through a 0.22 μm aqueous filter. HPLC was used to detect the consumption of the substrate NMN and the formation of the product NAD.

[0053] The mutant enzyme S97A-Q10A-F119W produced 256 mM NAD after 2 hours of reaction, with a molar conversion rate of 86% for NMN; while the wild-type enzyme produced 187 mM NAD after 4 hours of reaction, with a molar conversion rate of 62% for NMN.

[0064] The control group consisted of the free nicotinamide mononucleotide adenosine transferase mutant NMNAT-S97A / Q10A. A certain concentration of crude enzyme solution was added to a 10 mL reaction system to make the final concentration 10 g / L. Other reaction conditions and sample processing methods were the same as described above.

[0065] The results showed that the immobilized enzyme generated 240 mM NAD after 30 min of reaction, with a molar conversion rate of NMN reaching 80%. After 2 hours of reaction, it generated 264 mM NAD, with a molar conversion rate of NMN reaching 88%. Therefore, it can be concluded that enzyme immobilization can improve catalytic efficiency to a certain extent.

[0066] Example 11 Application of nicotinamide mononucleotide adenosine transferase mutant S97A-Q10A-F119W in the catalytic preparation of L-glufosinate from PPO. The reaction system consisted of 10 mL of exogenous ATP, which was added to achieve a molar concentration of 10 mM. A certain volume of NAD reaction liquid was added to achieve a final NAD concentration of 5 mM. Whole cells were added to achieve final concentrations of 10 g / L, 20 g / L, 30 g / L, and 40 g / L, respectively. The reaction conditions were 35 °C and the rotation speed was set to 600 rpm.

[0067] Sampling: Take 100 μL of sample every 2 hours; Sample processing: Add 5 μL of 6M HCl to terminate the reaction, centrifuge at 12000 rpm for 2 min, collect the supernatant, dilute with ultrapure water, filter with a 0.22 μm aqueous filter membrane after dilution, and detect the consumption of substrate PPO by HPLC.

[0068] PPO concentration detection: A unitary C18 column (5 μm, 100 A, 4.6 mm × 250 mm) was used. The mobile phase was 50 mM ammonium dihydrogen phosphate solution: acetonitrile = 88:12 (ammonium dihydrogen phosphate solution: 5.75 g of ammonium dihydrogen phosphate was dissolved in 800 mL of ultrapure water, 1.0 g of tetrabutylammonium hydroxide was added, the pH was adjusted to 3.8 with phosphoric acid, and the volume was brought to 1 L). The flow rate was 1 mL / min, the column temperature was 40 ˚C, and the detection wavelength was 232 nm.

[0069] The results showed that increasing the cell concentration in the reaction system could enhance the catalytic ability of cells to PPO. 30 g / L and 40 g / L whole cells could convert about 80% of PPO at the 4th hour, while 20 g / L whole cells could convert 70% of PPO, and 10 g / L whole cells could convert 35% of PPO at the 4th hour.
