Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of bioengineering technology, and specifically relates to a thioether monooxygenase mutant, a gene encoding the thioether monooxygenase mutant, a recombinant expression vector containing the gene sequence, a co-expression recombinant vector and a recombinant expression transformant, a recombinant thioether monooxygenase mutant catalyst and a preparation method thereof, and use of the thioether monooxygenase mutant or the recombinant thioether monooxygenase mutant catalyst in the synthesis of esomeprazole. Background Art

[0002] Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPIs) are a class of special sulfoxide compounds containing benzimidazole, sulfinyl, and pyridine rings, and are considered the best treatment for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). PPIs reduce gastric acid secretion by inhibiting the hydrogen-potassium ATPase pump, and have superior efficacy, durability, and safety compared to traditional histamine-H2 receptor antagonists (H2RAs). Since the first PPI, omeprazole, was launched in Sweden in 1987, a variety of PPIs have been introduced, and they have now become the most widely used drugs for the treatment of gastroesophageal diseases. Notably, chiral PPIs exhibit stronger acid suppression, longer duration of action, and higher bioavailability than racemic PPIs, and are gradually becoming the preferred drugs for the treatment of gastric acid digestive diseases.

[0003] Esomeprazole, also known as (S)-omeprazole, is the S-configured optical isomer of omeprazole and the first marketed chiral proton pump inhibitor (PPI). Developed by AstraZeneca and approved for marketing in 2001, esomeprazole's chemical name is S-5-methoxy-2-[[(4-methoxy-3,5-dimethyl-2-pyridyl)methyl]sulfinyl]-1H-benzimidazole. Currently, the primary commercially available form is (S)-omeprazole magnesium trihydrate. Compared to racemic omeprazole, esomeprazole exhibits superior clinical properties, including improved safety and efficacy, better control of gastric acid secretion and symptom relief, a longer duration of action, and reduced dosing frequency. These advantages have made esomeprazole one of the world's best-selling drugs, securing a prominent position in the treatment of digestive diseases.

[0004] Currently, the industrial production of PPIs primarily relies on chemical synthesis. However, this method suffers from numerous drawbacks: the extensive use of organic solvents, cumbersome product purification steps, and the generation of wastewater and exhaust gases, which not only impact the health of operators but also negatively impact the environment. Furthermore, the use of expensive transition metal catalysts and the low stereoselectivity of the reaction further increase production costs. Current industrial production of esomeprazole suffers from the following major challenges: expensive chiral catalysts and poor stereoselectivity; the extensive use of peracids, H₂O₂, organic catalysts, and solvents, which harm the environment and human health; and harsh reaction conditions, which place high demands on production equipment and increase costs. Therefore, to meet the demand for green production, the development of biosynthetic methods with high catalytic selectivity, mild reaction conditions, and green and efficient processes has become an important complement to chemical synthesis.

[0005] Currently, the biosynthesis of esomeprazole mainly uses prochiral thioethers as substrates and utilizes whole-cell or free enzyme-catalyzed asymmetric oxidation. Reported biocatalysts include: (1) Cunninghamella echinulata MK40: can catalyze 7.5mM omeprazole sulfide, but the conversion rate is only 45% (Nagasawa T. Microbial synthesis of aprotonpump inhibitor by enantioselective oxidation of a sulfide into its corresponding sulfoxide by Cunninghamella echinulate MK40); 2) Lysinibacillus sp. B71 cells can catalyze 0.1g / L substrate with a conversion rate of 70% (Pavel Kyslík. Whole-cell oxidation of omeprazole sulfide to enantiopure esomeprazole with Lysinibacillus sp. B71); (3) PAMO from Limnobacter sp.: can catalyze 50mM substrate through whole cells (Juan Lin. “Nonpolarity paving” in substrate tunnel of a Limnobacter sp. Phenylacetone monooxygenase for efficient single whole-cell synthesis of esomeprazole); (4) Acinetobacter calcoaceticus NCIMB 9871 cyclohexanone monooxygenase mutant: can catalyze 100 g / L substrate, but requires batch addition of freeze-dried enzyme powder (Codexis patent WO2011071982); (5) The mutant in patent CN108118035A: can catalyze 165 g / L substrate, but has problems such as large enzyme dosage and poor tolerance.

[0006] Most monooxygenases (BVMOs) are NADPH-dependent. NADPH is more expensive and less stable than NADH, making it unsuitable for large-scale production. Therefore, more and more studies have been conducted on coenzymes. Reported studies on coenzyme modification include: (1) modification of 4-hydroxyacetophenone monooxygenase (HAPMO) by sequence alignment analysis, which improved its catalytic performance towards NADH by about 6.7 times (Albert JRHeck. Coenzyme Binding during Catalysis Is Beneficialfor the Stability of 4-Hydroxyacetophenone Monooxygenase); (2) sequence alignment and structural analysis of phenylacetone monooxygenase (PAMO), which improved its catalytic performance towards NADH by about 3.3 times (Marco W. Fraaije. Investigating the coenzyme specificity of phenylacetonemonooxygenase from Thermobifida fusca). (3) modification of cyclohexanone monooxygenase (CHMO) by sequence alignment and structural analysis. NCIMB9871 ) improved its catalytic performance towards NADH by approximately eightfold through structural analysis, sequence alignment, and literature review (Uwe T. Bornscheuer. Switch in Cofactor Specificity of a Baeyer-Villiger Monooxygenase). Currently, most of the above studies address the issue of coenzyme preference. While these improvements have been made towards NADH, the overall catalytic efficiency remains too low, limiting its large-scale application.

[0007] These studies demonstrate that while a variety of biocatalysts (such as BVMOs) have been developed for the synthesis of esomeprazole, they generally suffer from low catalytic efficiency, poor stability, and low substrate tolerance. Furthermore, the high cost and poor stability of utilizing the coenzyme NADPH make it difficult to meet the demands of industrial production. Therefore, the development of biocatalysts that efficiently utilize NADH remains an important research direction in this field. Summary of the Invention

The method can also be achieved by artificially synthesizing the protein sequence.

[0050] A second technical solution of the present invention is to provide a nucleic acid encoding the aforementioned thioether monooxygenase mutant. The nucleic acid encodes and expresses the thioether monooxygenase mutant obtained through evolutionary modification as described in technical solution one. The nucleic acid may be obtained by cloning the gene sequence of the thioether monooxygenase mutant described in technical solution one through genetic engineering techniques, or by obtaining a nucleic acid molecule encoding the thioether monooxygenase mutant described in technical solution one through artificial full-sequence synthesis.

[0051] A third technical solution of the present invention is to provide a recombinant expression vector comprising the aforementioned thioether monooxygenase mutant nucleic acid.

[0052] Furthermore, the commercially available empty vector can be any of various plasmid vectors commonly used in the art, as long as the recombinant expression vector can replicate normally in the corresponding expression host and express the corresponding thioether monooxygenase. The preferred plasmid vector varies depending on the expression host. Those skilled in the art will readily appreciate how to select appropriate vectors, promoters, enhancers, and host cells.

[0053] Furthermore, for E. coli hosts, the plasmid vector is preferably a pET-28a(+) plasmid. The E. coli recombinant expression plasmid of the present invention can be prepared by the following method: the gene DNA fragment of the thioether monooxygenase mutant obtained by PCR amplification is double-digested with restriction endonucleases Nde I and Hind III, and the empty plasmid pET-28a(+) is also double-digested with restriction endonucleases Nde I and Hind III. The DNA fragment of the thioether monooxygenase mutant and the empty plasmid are recovered after the digestion, and the two are ligated using T4 DNA ligase to obtain a recombinant expression plasmid containing the nucleic acid encoding the thioether monooxygenase mutant for expression in E. coli.

The E. coli recombinant expression plasmid of the present invention can be prepared by the following method: first, the target plasmid of dehydrogenase is used as a PCR amplification template, and the target fragment required by this application is amplified using PrimerSTAR Max high-fidelity polymerase, and then the pETDuet-1 plasmid is used as a template for reverse amplification of the linearized vector fragment, which is inserted into the MCS1 multiple cloning site of the pETDuet-1 plasmid using homologous recombination; then the target gene of AcPSMO is amplified, recovered according to the same method, and inserted into the MCS2 multiple cloning site of the pETDuet-1 plasmid using homologous recombination, and then verified to be successful by transformation sequencing.

[0056] The fifth technical solution of the present invention is to provide a recombinant expression transformant comprising the thioether monooxygenase mutant gene, its recombinant expression vector or its co-expression recombinant vector described in the above technical solution of the present invention.

[0057] Furthermore, a recombinant expression transformant can be prepared by transforming the recombinant expression vector constructed in Technical Solution 3 or the co-expression recombinant vector constructed in Technical Solution 4 into a host cell. The host cell can be any conventional host cell in the art, as long as the recombinant expression vector can stably replicate in the host cell and can effectively express the target protein after induction with an inducer. In the present invention, Escherichia coli is preferably used as the host cell, and E. coli BL21 (DE3) is more preferably used for efficiently expressing the thioether monooxygenase mutant described in the present invention.

[0058] The sixth technical solution of the present invention is to provide a recombinant thioether monooxygenase mutant catalyst, wherein the recombinant thioether monooxygenase mutant catalyst is any one of the following forms:

[0059] (1) culturing the recombinant expression transformant of the present invention and isolating transformant cells containing the thioether monooxygenase mutant;

[0060] (2) culturing the recombinant expression transformant of the present invention, isolating and crushing the crude enzyme solution containing the thioether monooxygenase mutant;

[0061] (3) Cultivating the recombinant expression transformant of the present invention, isolating and crushing the thioether monooxygenase mutant to obtain a crude enzyme solution, and freeze-drying the crude enzyme solution to obtain a crude enzyme powder.

[0062] Furthermore, the culture method and conditions of the recombinant expression transformant are conventional methods and conditions in the field, which include the following steps: culturing the recombinant expression transformant of the present invention to obtain recombinant thioether monooxygenase. For recombinant Escherichia coli, the preferred culture medium is LB culture medium: peptone 10g / L, yeast extract 5g / L, NaCl 10g / L, pH 6.5-7.0. The preferred culture method is: inoculate the recombinant Escherichia coli described above into LB culture medium containing kanamycin, and culture overnight at 37°C and 180rpm. The seed liquid is inoculated into a 5L fermentation tank containing 3L LB culture medium (containing kanamycin), and the dissolved oxygen (DO) is controlled to be above 30% by adjusting the stirring speed, adding carbon source and nitrogen source. When the OD of the culture solution is 600 When the pH reaches 8-10, isopropyl-β-D-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG) is added as an inducer at a final concentration of 0.1-0.5 mmol / L. After induction at 16-25°C for 8-24 hours, the culture medium is centrifuged, the cells are harvested, and then washed twice with physiological saline to obtain recombinant expressing transformant cells. The harvested recombinant cells are freeze-dried to obtain lyophilized cells containing the thioether monooxygenase mutant. The harvested recombinant cells are suspended in 5-10 volumes (v / w) of buffer, ultrasonically disrupted, and centrifuged to collect the supernatant to obtain a crude enzyme solution of the recombinant thioether monooxygenase mutant. The collected crude enzyme solution is frozen at -80°C and then low-temperature dried using a vacuum freeze dryer to obtain lyophilized enzyme powder of the recombinant thioether monooxygenase mutant. The obtained lyophilized cells or lyophilized enzyme powder can be stored in a refrigerator at 4°C for convenient use.

[0063] The seventh technical solution of the present invention is to provide an application of a thioether monooxygenase mutant or a recombinant thioether monooxygenase mutant catalyst. The application uses omeprazole thioether as a substrate and utilizes the thioether monooxygenase mutant or the recombinant thioether monooxygenase mutant catalyst to catalyze the synthesis of esomeprazole (such as omeprazole thioether) from omeprazole thioether.Figure 1 shown).

[0064] The application is carried out in phosphate buffer and requires the coenzyme NADH or NAD + The application also requires the presence of at least any one of glucose, sodium formate, isopropanol and its corresponding dehydrogenase.

[0065] Preferably, the concentration of the substrate omeprazole sulfide of the present invention is 1-30 g / L, the amount of the glucose, sodium formate or isopropanol is 1.5-45 g / L, and the coenzyme NADH or NAD + The dosage is 0.1-0.5 mM; the dosage of the thioether monooxygenase mutant or recombinant thioether monooxygenase mutant catalyst is 10-800 U / L, and the dosage of the dehydrogenase is 15-1200 U / L; the reaction progress can be monitored by conventional detection methods in the art, such as liquid chromatography HPLC or thin plate chromatography TLC, and the reaction time is based on the time when the substrate concentration no longer decreases or the product concentration no longer increases.

Using a TECAN Freedom EVO automated liquid handling workstation, 50 μL of bacterial culture was aspirated from the primary plate wells and plated into the corresponding secondary plate wells. Cultures were incubated at 20-30°C, 800 rpm on a shaker for 5-10 hours, followed by induction at 20-30°C for 72 hours. The supernatant was then centrifuged at 3500 × g for 10 minutes at 4°C, and the expressed proteins were screened for high-throughput screening in 96-well plates. Mutants with high omeprazole thioether activity were purified and characterized, and the corresponding genes were sequenced.

[0083] The high-throughput activity screening assay method of the AcPSMO mutant is as follows: potassium phosphate buffer (100 mM, pH 9.0) containing 1 mM substrate omeprazole sulfide, 1 mM coenzyme NADH, 100 mM cosubstrate and a certain amount of dehydrogenase enzyme powder are divided into a 96-well plate, preheated to 30°C, and then an appropriate amount of AcPSMO mutant secretion supernatant is added respectively. The reaction is shaken at 30°C, and the absorbance change of NADH at 360 nm is detected on a microplate reader. The absorbance change value within 3 minutes is recorded, and the corresponding enzyme activity is calculated.

After the target fragment and the linearized vector were successfully amplified, the PCR product of the linearized vector was digested with Dpn I and the product was recovered by gel electrophoresis. Subsequently, the target fragment: linearized vector was mixed in a ratio of 2:1 and the homologous recombinase was added. After incubation at 50°C for 30 minutes, the recombinant product was obtained and transformation verification was performed. The two genes were respectively inserted into the pETDuet-1 plasmid.

[0096] Example 5 Purification of recombinant thioether monooxygenase mutants

[0097] 1.0 g of resting cells of the recombinant thioether monooxygenase mutant was resuspended in 10 mL of buffer (Solution A) and disrupted by sonication in an ice-water bath: 99 cycles of 400 W power, 4 s on, 6 s off. The supernatant was collected and purified using nickel affinity chromatography. The following buffer recipes are provided: Solution A: KPB buffer (20 mM, pH 7.5), containing 0.5 M NaCl and 10 mM imidazole; Solution B: KPB buffer (20 mM, pH 7.5), containing 0.5 M NaCl and 0.5 M imidazole; Solution C: KPB buffer (25 mM, pH 7.5), 150 mM NaCl, and 1 mM DTT. The crude thioether monooxygenase enzyme solution was loaded onto a nickel column. Contaminants were first eluted with Solution A, followed by the target protein with Solution B. The eluate was concentrated to a certain volume by ultrafiltration and then replaced with Solution C to reduce the imidazole concentration in the protein solution. The purified protein was collected based on the results of SDS-PAGE analysis, added with glycerol to a final concentration of 20% (w / v), and quickly frozen in liquid nitrogen before storage at -80°C.

[0098] Example 6 Activity determination of recombinant thioether monooxygenase mutants

[0099] The enzyme activity of AcPSMO towards omeprazole sulfide substrate was determined as follows: 0.2 mM omeprazole sulfide substrate and 0.2 mM NADH were added to 0.5 mL reaction system (0.1 M KPB buffer, pH 9.0), and an appropriate amount of pure enzyme solution was added, mixed rapidly, and reacted at 30°C, 1000 rpm for 10 min. The reaction was terminated and extracted with 0.5 mL of ethyl acetate. The supernatant was filtered through a 0.22 μm pore size filter membrane and then subjected to liquid chromatography analysis to determine the substrate conversion rate and product ee.

[0100] The specific analysis conditions for substrate conversion and ee are as follows:

[0101] Instrument: Shimadzu HPLC 2010A; Column model: Chiralpak IA; Mobile phase: n-heptane:ethanol = 70:30 (v / v); Flow rate: 0.5 mL min -1 ; Column temperature: 40℃; Injection volume: 10μL; Detector: UV detector; Detection wavelength: 300nm.

[0102] The enzyme activity unit (U) is defined as the amount of enzyme required to catalyze the conversion of 1 μmol of omeprazole thioether substrate to (S)-omeprazole per minute under the above conditions.

[0103] In the table in Table 2, the sequence numbers refer to the corresponding sequences described above. In the activity column using NADH as a hydrogen donor, a single plus sign "+" indicates that the specific activity of the mutant protein is 1.0 to 2.0 times higher than that of the protein composed of the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID No. 2 in the sequence listing; two plus signs "++" indicate that the specific activity of the mutant protein is 2.1 to 4.0 times higher than that of the protein composed of the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID No. 2; and three plus signs "+++" indicate that the specific activity of the mutant protein is 4.1 to 8.0 times higher than that of the protein composed of the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID No. 2.
