Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of bioengineering technology, and particularly to a method for multi-enzyme cascade conversion of L-tyrosine to produce tyrosol and salidroside. Background Art

[0002] Tyrosol is a phenolic compound with pharmacological activity. It is a derivative of phenethyl alcohol and a monophenolic antioxidant, and has various natural sources such as olive oil and green tea. Tyrosol has many physiological and active functions, such as antioxidant, anti-fatigue, anti-hypoxia, anti-stress, anti-cold, sedative, cardiovascular diseases, hypertension, etc. Tyrosol can also be used as a flavoring agent for wines and plays an important role in enhancing the taste of wine beverages, especially in sake, beer and wine.

[0003] With the development of the physiological activity of tyrosol and the increase in market demand, the development of an efficient tyrosol production route has become a research hotspot. Currently, the preparation methods of tyrosol mainly include natural extraction method, chemical synthesis method, and biosynthesis method. The natural extraction method has great difficulty in obtaining tyrosol and a complex process. The chemical synthesis method also has problems such as strict reaction conditions, high costs, and a large amount of pollution generated during the reaction process in actual production. Both methods are not conducive to the industrial production of tyrosol. Using Escherichia coli as a chassis cell, there are mainly three biosynthetic pathways for synthesizing tyrosol from tyrosine ( Figure 1 ), which are respectively: (1) TDC-TYO pathway, tyrosine is first converted to tyramine under the action of tyrosine decarboxylase (TDC), then tyramine is catalyzed by tyramine oxidase (TYO) to generate p-hydroxyphenylacetaldehyde, and finally reduced by alcohol dehydrogenase to generate tyrosol; (2) pyruvate decarboxylation pathway, tyrosine generates p-hydroxyphenylpyruvate under the action of aromatic amino acid aminotransferase, p-hydroxyphenylpyruvate is further catalyzed by pyruvate decarboxylase to generate p-hydroxyphenylacetaldehyde, and finally reduced by alcohol dehydrogenase to generate tyrosol; (3) AAS pathway, in this pathway, tyrosine is directly catalyzed by aromatic aldehyde synthase (AAS) to generate p-hydroxyphenylacetaldehyde, and then reduced by alcohol dehydrogenase to generate tyrosol.

[0004] Rhodiola is a rare wild plant growing in alpine pollution-free areas. It is a commonly used medicine among the Tibetan people in China and has a history of application for more than 1,000 years. It has the effects of stimulating the nervous system, increasing work efficiency, eliminating fatigue, and preventing altitude sickness. In addition, Rhodiola also has the functions of protecting the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular systems, nerve cells, and anti-tumor and anti-radiation. The main medicinal active ingredients of Rhodiola are salidroside and its aglycone tyrosol. At present, the main extraction methods of salidroside are natural extraction method, chemical synthesis method, and biosynthesis method. The main problems of natural extraction method at present are expensive raw materials, low extraction efficiency, high energy consumption, and damage to the health of production personnel, which still cannot well adapt to large-scale production. Although the purity of chemically synthesized salidroside is relatively high, the treatment of organic reagent residues and waste liquid makes it difficult to ensure the safety of the production process. Therefore, the production of salidroside by biosynthesis method is the current research hotspot.

[0005] Glycosyltransferases (EC2.4.x.y) are a class of enzymes that catalyze the formation of specific glycosidic bonds between a sugar moiety and a receptor and are ubiquitous in organisms. Glycosyltransferases use nucleoside diphosphate-activated sugar-containing compounds as sugar donors, and among them, glycosyltransferases using uridine diphosphate glucose as a sugar donor are the most common, and their full name is UDP-glucosyltransferases (UGTs). The glycosylation of natural products using glycosyltransferases is beneficial to improving the biological activity of substances and is more conducive to their application in the fields of medicine, health care, beauty, etc., to solve the problem that the natural way to obtain glycoside products cannot meet the demand. Summary of the Invention
