Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of biotechnology and relates to a Kluyveromyces marxianus YZC-01 preparation for degrading L-homocysteine, and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, the incidence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases has increased year by year. The main reason is that atherosclerosis, thrombosis and the formation of plaques hinder the flow of blood, leading to myocardial infarction or cerebral infarction. It is the disease with the highest mortality rate in my country and even in the world.

[0003] L-homocysteine ​​(L-4,4'-dithiobis(2-aminobutyric acid, molecular formula: C8H 16 L-homocysteine ​​(N2O4S2, molecular weight: 268.35), also known as homocysteine, is a sulfur-containing amino acid and a major risk factor for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Plasma L-homocysteine ​​levels exceeding 15 μmol / L are harmful. L-homocysteine ​​can not only cause atherosclerosis, hypertension, and coronary heart disease, but can also induce aortic venous thrombosis, leading to myocardial infarction and cerebral infarction. Its mechanism of action is that L-homocysteine ​​damages vascular endothelial cells, causing proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells and obstructing blood flow. It can also enhance platelet function and promote thrombus formation.

[0004] Currently, treatments for hyperhomocysteinemia include dietary therapy and medication. Dietary therapy primarily involves supplementing with nutrients like B vitamins and folic acid, while reducing the intake of methionine-rich foods like meat and cheese. Medication, including medications like nebivolol and rosiglitazone, is often ineffective and associated with adverse reactions such as headaches, fatigue, hypotension, and bradycardia. Consequently, existing medications or foods for controlling L-homocysteinemia are ineffective and have side effects. Therefore, further research is needed into effective treatments or methods for hyperhomocysteinemia. Summary of the Invention

[0050] II. Implementation Plan

[0051] As mentioned above, existing diet and drug therapies for controlling L-homocysteine ​​in the human body are slow and ineffective and have side effects. Therefore, the present inventors have conducted extensive research on the biodegradation of L-homocysteine.

[0052] The present inventors noted that although lactic acid bacteria can promote intestinal health and reduce the accumulation of L-homocysteine ​​to some extent through a series of metabolic regulation, there is no report on the bacteria used to directly and efficiently biodegrade L-homocysteine.

[0053] The inventors also noted that Kluyveromyces marxianus, a eukaryotic microorganism, is the only yeast approved for direct human consumption by my country's National Health Commission. While Kluyveromyces marxianus can promote intestinal health and enhance human immunity, and is widely used in food, fermentation, beer, and beverage production, no research has yet been found on its ability to biodegrade L-homocysteine.

[0054] Based on long-term microbial research, the inventors successfully isolated a pure strain of microorganisms from healthy human intestinal bacteria that can efficiently biodegrade L-homocysteine. This strain and the enzyme it produces are both capable of efficiently biodegrading L-homocysteine, demonstrating not only significant research value but also promising application prospects in the efficient biodegradation and removal of L-homocysteine. This led to the present invention.

[0055] Therefore, the Kluyveromyces marxianus YZC-01 strain for biodegrading L-homocysteine ​​according to the first aspect of the present invention can produce an enzyme that catalyzes the degradation of L-homocysteine.

[0056] The inventors first successfully isolated a strain of Kluyveromyces marxianus, YZC-01, from the intestinal flora of healthy humans. Genomic DNA was extracted, amplified by PCR, and molecularly identified using 18S rDNA sequencing. Based on this, the strain was identified and named Kluyveromyces marxianus strain YZC-01. This strain has been deposited with the General Microbiology Center of the China General Culture Collection Administration under the accession number CGMCC No. 29514.

[0057] The present inventors have discovered that yeast cells produced during fermentation of Kluyveromyces marxianus YZC-01 contain more than one enzyme capable of catalyzing the degradation of L-homocysteine. In the present invention, the mixture of these enzymes is referred to as crude enzyme, or Kluyveromyces marxianus YZC-01 crude enzyme.

[0058] Further research revealed that the cell-free lysate after yeast cell disruption was centrifuged and the supernatant, a cell-free extract obtained as crude Kluyveromyces marxianus YZC-01 enzyme, was able to catalyze the degradation of L-homocysteine.

[0059] The research results show that the bacterial cells of the Kluyveromyces marxianus YZC-01 strain can completely degrade and remove L-homocysteine ​​with an initial concentration of 500 mg / L within 48 hours.

[0060] The crude enzyme produced by the Kluyveromyces marxianus YZC-01 strain can completely degrade L-homocysteine ​​with an initial concentration of 500 mg / L within 24 hours at a protein concentration of 3.2 mg / mL.

[0061] Based on the above, the second to fourth aspects of the present invention further provide uses or applications of the Kluyveromyces marxianus for biodegrading L-homocysteine ​​according to the first aspect of the present invention.

[0062] Specifically, the second aspect of the present invention provides a Kluyveromyces marxianus YZC-01 preparation for biodegrading L-homocysteine, which is a microbial preparation for biodegrading L-homocysteine, and contains bacterial cells and / or crude enzymes of the Kluyveromyces marxianus YZC-01 strain as described in the first aspect of the present invention.

[0063] In some preferred embodiments of the present invention, the Kluyveromyces marxianus YZC-01 preparation contains bacterial cells of the Kluyveromyces marxianus YZC-01 strain as described in the first aspect of the present invention.

[0064] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the L-homocysteine ​​biodegrading Kluyveromyces marxianus YZC-01 preparation is a liquid preparation.

[0065] In some embodiments of the present invention, the bacterial cell concentration of Kluyveromyces marxianus YZC-01 strain in the liquid preparation for biodegradation of L-homocysteine ​​is (2-5)×10 7 / mL.

[0066] In other embodiments of the present invention, in the liquid preparation for biodegrading L-homocysteine, the protein concentration of the crude enzyme of Kluyveromyces marxianus YZC-01 strain is 3-10 mg / mL.

[0067] According to other embodiments of the present invention, the L-homocysteine ​​biodegrading Kluyveromyces marxianus YZC-01 preparation is a solid powder preparation.

[0068] In some embodiments of the present invention, in the solid powder preparation for biodegradation of L-homocysteine, the bacterial cell content of Kluyveromyces marxianus YZC-01 strain is (1-6)×10 7 / g, preferably (2-5)×10 7 / g.

[0069] In other embodiments of the present invention, in the solid powder preparation for biodegrading L-homocysteine, the protein content of the crude enzyme of Kluyveromyces marxianus YZC-01 strain is 10-60 mg / g, preferably 20-40 mg / g.

[0070] The third aspect of the present invention provides a method for preparing the L-homocysteine ​​biodegrading Kluyveromyces marxianus YZC-01 preparation according to the second aspect of the present invention, comprising:

[0071] Step B, inoculating the fermentation bacteria into a fermentation medium, and fermenting and culturing at 18-40° C., preferably 25-30° C., and a shaking speed of 100-300 rpm for 3-5 days to obtain a fermentation culture of Kluyveromyces marxianus YZC-01 strain;

[0073] The fermentation strain is obtained by seed culture of the corresponding Kluyveromyces marxianus YZC-01 strain.

[0074] As those skilled in the art are aware, 18S rRNA is currently commonly used internationally for molecular identification of eukaryotic microorganisms. Therefore, 18S rRNA can be used for comparison and homology analysis. Therefore, the fermentation strains used in the present invention are not limited to the field isolates used in the present invention. 18S rDNA is the DNA sequence on bacterial chromosomes that encodes rRNA and is present in the chromosomal genomes of all eukaryotic microorganisms. Figure 1 The molecular evolutionary tree of Kluyveromyces marxianus strain YZC-01 based on 18S rDNA is shown.

[0075] In the above step C, the centrifugation treatment includes resuspending and washing the precipitate obtained by centrifuging the liquid fermentation culture (i.e., the bacterial cells of Kluyveromyces marxianus YZC-01 strain) with physiological saline, and then centrifuging it to obtain the bacterial cells of Kluyveromyces marxianus YZC-01 strain.

[0076] The present invention has no particular limitation on the conditions for centrifugal separation in step C. In some embodiments of the present invention, for example, the material to be separated can be centrifuged at 8000-10000 r / min for 10 min.

[0077] According to the method of the present invention, the fermentation culture is a shaker or fermentation tank fermentation culture of the bacterial strain, and the fermentation bacterial strain is inoculated into the fermentation medium in the form of a seed liquid. The inoculation amount of the seed liquid is 0.1%-1% (v / v); preferably, the inoculation amount of the seed liquid is 0.2%-0.5% (v / v); more preferably, the inoculation amount of the seed liquid is 0.5% (v / v).

[0078] Specifically, the fermentation medium comprises the following components in 1 L of water:

[0083] Peptone 8-10g;

[0084] 8-10g yeast powder; and

[0085] Glucose 4-6g.

[0086] In some embodiments of the present invention, the initial pH of the fermentation medium is adjusted to 6-7 using 40% (wt / v) sodium hydroxide solution and 36% (v / v) hydrochloric acid solution.

[0087] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the preparation method of the Kluyveromyces marxianus YZC-01 preparation involved in the present invention further includes a seed culture step A before step B: picking a monoclonal colony of the Kluyveromyces marxianus YZC-01 strain provided by the present invention and inoculating it into 100 mL of fermentation liquid culture medium, and culturing it on a shaking table at a temperature of 28°C and a speed of 200 r / min for 3 days to obtain a fermentation strain (seed liquid).

[0088] The inventors studied the effects of different temperatures on the growth of Kluyveromyces marxianus YZC-01 and found that Kluyveromyces marxianus YZC-01 grew faster at a temperature of 28°C.

[0089] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the preparation method further comprises:

[0090] Step K, disrupting the cell suspension of the Kluyveromyces marxianus YZC-01 strain in an ice-water bath (i.e., an ice-water mixture, 0-4° C.) to obtain a cell-free disrupted solution of the Kluyveromyces marxianus YZC-01 strain;

[0091] In step L, the cell-free disrupted liquid of Kluyveromyces marxianus YZC-01 strain is centrifuged, and the supernatant cell-free extract is used as the crude enzyme of Kluyveromyces marxianus YZC-01 strain.

[0092] The present invention has no particular limitation on the conditions for centrifugal separation in step L. In some embodiments of the present invention, for example, the material to be separated can be centrifuged at 15,000-18,000 r / min for 10-20 min.

[0110] III. Examples

[0111] The present invention is described in detail below through specific examples. The experimental methods described below, unless otherwise specified, are all routine laboratory methods. The experimental materials described below, unless otherwise specified, can all be obtained from commercial channels.

[0112] Example 1:

[0113] (1) Prepare a growth medium for Kluyveromyces marxianus YZC-01, consisting of (per liter): 10.0 g peptone, 10.0 g yeast powder, and 5.0 g glucose. Add 100 ml of the prepared liquid medium to a 500 ml Erlenmeyer flask, sterilize under high temperature and pressure (121°C) for 20 minutes, and then sterilize under ultraviolet light in a clean bench for another 20 minutes.

[0114] (2) Under sterile conditions in a clean bench, 0.5 ml of Kluyveromyces marxianus YZC-01 bacterial liquid was inoculated into a triangular flask liquid culture medium. After batch culture at 28°C and a shaker speed of 200 rpm for 3 days, the Kluyveromyces marxianus YZC-01 cells were harvested by centrifugation (8000 rpm, 10 minutes) and the supernatant was discarded.

[0115] 20 mL of Kluyveromyces marxianus YZC-01 cell suspension was added to a 50 mL glass tube and then plunged into ice water. The Kluyveromyces marxianus YZC-01 cells were disrupted using an ultrasonic cell disruptor under the following conditions: ultrasonic power of 400 W, 2-second intervals, 10-second ultrasonic oscillations, and a disruption time of 15 minutes (5 minutes per interval). After cell disruption, the cell suspension was centrifuged at 15,000 rpm for 20 minutes, and the supernatant was slowly decanted to obtain the Kluyveromyces marxianus YZC-01 cell-free extract (crude enzyme).

[0116] (3) According to the different concentrations of L-homocysteine, the cultured Kluyveromyces marxianus YZC-01 cells and crude enzymes were added in a certain proportion as a fast, safe and efficient biocatalyst to achieve the purpose of rapid and efficient degradation and removal of L-homocysteine.

[0117] Figure 1 The strain we screened showed that it was most closely related to Kluyveromyces marxianus, so it was named Kluyveromyces marxianus YZC-01.

[0118] Figure 2 It showed that within 48 hours, the concentration of Kluyveromyces marxianus YZC-01 cells increased from 1.0×10 6 / mL grew to 3.0×10 7 / mL, and could completely degrade L-homocysteine ​​with an initial concentration of 500 mg / L, indicating that Kluyveromyces marxianus YZC-01 had a strong biodegradation ability for L-homocysteine.

[0119] Figure 3 The results showed that the cell-free extract (crude enzyme) of Kluyveromyces marxianus YZC-01 could catalyze the degradation of L-homocysteine ​​at a faster rate. At a protein concentration of 3.2 mg / mL, L-homocysteine ​​with an initial concentration of 500 mg / L could be completely degraded within 24 hours, indicating a higher L-homocysteine ​​degradation rate.
