Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of environmental remediation microorganisms, in particular to a cytochrome P450BM3 mutant and application thereof in degrading 2-chlorophenol. Background Art
[0002] 2-Chlorophenol is an intermediate in the production of phenol, phenolic resins and dyes. It is often used as an insecticide and fungicide. It is a common and difficult-to-degrade organic pollutant in wastewater. It is highly toxic, carcinogenic and difficult to biodegrade.
[0003] At present, the treatment methods for 2-chlorophenol in sewage are mainly divided into physical, chemical and biological methods. Physical methods mainly include adsorption and reverse osmosis, which require the use of expensive treatment materials such as activated carbon and filter membranes, and the filter materials and membrane materials need to be replaced frequently, resulting in high treatment costs. Chemical methods mainly include ion exchange, UV / TiO2 / H2O2 advanced oxidation, etc., which use a large amount of chemical reagents and produce a large amount of iron sludge, which easily leads to secondary pollution. Compared with physical and chemical methods, biological methods have the advantages of low cost, green and low carbon, and environmental friendliness, and are widely used in sewage treatment. However, due to the weak degradation ability of microorganisms for difficult-to-degrade organic pollutants such as 2-chlorophenol, biological methods are not widely used in the degradation of 2-chlorophenol.
[0004] Currently, with the continuous development of environmental microbiology technology, the identification and screening of microorganisms capable of degrading difficult-to-degrade organic pollutants has achieved relatively mature results in the bioremediation of various pollutants. Conventional methods generally involve screening, isolating, and purifying strains capable of degrading specific pollutants from environmental samples containing pollutants. Genes with pollutant degradation functions are discovered through whole-genome sequencing, and the required enzymes are expressed in specific vectors. However, there are problems such as a small number of degradation genes and a long degradation cycle for the original enzymes. For example, Chinese patent CN 108823122 A discloses a strain of 2,4-dichlorophenol-degrading bacteria. A strain HD-1, belonging to the genus Pseudomonas mosselii, was screened from soil in a pesticide chemical plant and showed a high ability to degrade 2,4-dichlorobenzene. The strain achieved a degradation rate of 59.65% in 10 days, achieving initial biodegradation and removal of 2,4-dichlorophenol. However, the degradation time was as long as 10 days, resulting in low degradation efficiency. Chinese patent CN109337877 B discloses a dichlorophenol-degrading enzyme TcpA, which encodes a dichlorophenol-degrading enzyme TcpA, which is cloned from the Cupriavidustaiwanensis X1 strain with dichlorophenol-degrading ability. 8It takes 24 hours for a CFU to degrade 4 mg of 2,4-dichlorophenol, and the degradation efficiency needs to be further improved. Cytochrome P450 is an important superfamily of detoxification metabolic enzymes, and it has been clearly involved in the detoxification metabolism of various agents. Chinese patent CN 101659955B discloses a human liver cytochrome P450 gene that can metabolize chlorpyrifos and pirimiphos-methyl in vitro. The application of P450 in the degradation of organophosphorus pesticides has been preliminarily explored, but there are currently no reports of P450 degrading the pollutant 2-chlorophenol. At the same time, none of the above-mentioned microbial remediation technologies have evolved or modified the enzymes that play a key role in the pollutant degradation process. They have only explored and reorganized the original enzymes, and the degradation efficiency and selectivity of the biological enzymes have not been further improved. Therefore, the development of a highly selective and efficient P450BM3 mutant for the degradation of 2-chlorophenol is of great significance for the efficient and precise biological degradation of difficult-to-degrade organic pollutants in wastewater.

[0039] Application of the cytochrome P450BM3 mutant, the recombinant plasmid or the recombinant bacteria in degrading 2-chlorophenol.
[0040] 2-Chlorophenol is a typical environmentally toxic and difficult-to-degrade organic pollutant. It is toxic to aquatic organisms and may cause long-term adverse effects in the aquatic environment. For example, its half-lethal concentration (LC50) for goldfish reaches 12.37 mg / L. It also bioaccumulates and can accumulate in aquatic organisms, such as the bluegill sunfish, with a bioconcentration factor (BCF) of 214. 2-Chlorophenol has the potential to irritate the eyes and skin and damage the nervous and respiratory systems in humans, and is listed as a priority pollutant. Compared to phenol, the introduction of chlorine atoms in 2-chlorophenol increases the compound's lipophilicity, making it easier for it to pass through cell membranes, enter organisms, and accumulate. At the same time, chlorine atoms can improve chemical stability, extending its half-life in the environment and thus increasing its persistence in ecosystems. Due to its increased lipophilicity and stability, 2-chlorophenol is more likely to bioaccumulate and biomagnify in the food chain, leading to higher concentrations in organisms at the top of the food chain, posing more serious water quality risks.
[0041] In terms of biodegradability, the chlorine atom is a strong electron-withdrawing group. When attached to a benzene ring, it reduces the electron density of the benzene ring through a conjugation effect, thereby reducing its nucleophilicity for substitution reactions. Furthermore, the chlorine atom is larger than a hydrogen atom, which may increase steric hindrance, making substitution reactions more difficult. In phenol, the ortho and para positions of the hydroxyl group are positions with high electron density because the conjugation effect of the hydroxyl group makes these positions more susceptible to electrophilic substitution. In 2-chlorophenol, the presence of chlorine atoms reduces the electron density of the meta position of the chlorine substituent, making the para-hydroxylation of 2-chlorophenol more difficult than that of phenol. Therefore, studying the regioselective oxidative degradation of 2-chlorophenol is of great significance for its removal and also provides a reference for water quality risk control of chlorophenol pollutants.
[0042] The application comprises the following steps: using a cytochrome P450BM3 mutant as a catalyst and 2-chlorophenol as a substrate to catalyze the conversion of 2-chlorophenol into 2-chlorohydroquinone. The catalytic mechanism is as follows:
[0043]
[0044] Preferably, the catalytic reaction has a pH of 6 to 8 and a temperature of 20 to 37°C.
[0045] Specifically, a crude enzyme solution obtained by fermenting and culturing a recombinant genetically engineered bacterium containing a P450 BM3 mutant encoding gene and then ultrasonically crushing the resulting solution is used as a catalyst, 2-chlorophenol is used as a substrate, and a reaction system is formed using a buffer solution with a pH of 6 to 8 (preferably a Kpi buffer solution of 7.5). The reaction is carried out at 300 to 500 rpm (preferably 400 rpm) and 20 to 37° C. (preferably 25° C.). After the reaction is completed, a reaction solution containing 2-chlorophenol and 2-chlorohydroquinone is obtained. The reaction solution is extracted with ethyl acetate, and the substance content in the organic phase is detected by gas chromatography.
[0046] Preferably, the Kpi buffer system is a 200 mM potassium phosphate buffer solution, which is composed of a mixture of potassium dihydrogen phosphate and dipotassium hydrogen phosphate, and the pH of the Kpi solution is configured to 7.5.
[0047] Preferably, the amount of the catalyst is 10-40 g / L buffer (preferably 20 g / L) based on the weight of the wet cells, and the initial concentration of the substrate is 0.05-2 mM (preferably 1 mM).
[0048] Preferably, the wet bacteria are prepared as follows: the recombinant engineered bacteria containing the cytochrome P450 BM3 mutant encoding gene are inoculated into LB culture medium containing kanamycin at a final concentration of 30 μg / mL, and cultured at 37°C for 8 hours to obtain a seed solution; the seed solution is then inoculated into a sterile TB liquid culture medium containing kanamycin at a final concentration of 30 μg / mL at an inoculum volume concentration of 0.5%-5% (preferably 1%), and cultured at 37°C for about 16-24 hours until the bacterial concentration OD600 is 0.4-0.8, and then the culture solution is added. Isopropylthio-β-D-galactopyranoside (IPTG) and 0.2-0.3 mM (preferably 0.3 mM) of δ-aminolevulinic acid (δ-ALA) were used to induce expression at 20°C for 24-48 hours. Wet cells were then harvested by centrifugation at 4000 rpm for 10-20 minutes at 4°C. LB liquid medium consisted of 10 g / L peptone, 5 g / L yeast extract, and 10 g / L sodium chloride in deionized water, pH 7.0. TB liquid medium consisted of 2% tryptone, 2.4% yeast extract, 72 mM K2HPO4, 17 mM KH2PO4, and 0.4% glycerol.
[0049] The P450 BM3 mutant of the present invention is catalyzed by using a crude enzyme solution obtained by cell disruption or an isolated and purified enzyme. In addition, the P450 BM3 mutant can also be prepared into an immobilized enzyme or an enzyme in the form of immobilized cells using a specific immobilization technology.
[0050] Beneficial effects: Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following significant advantages: (1) By modifying the key amino acids in the active center of P450BM3, a P450BM3 mutant with high degradation efficiency and high selectivity that can catalyze the oxidation of the pollutant 2-chlorophenol is obtained, which overcomes the problems of low degradation efficiency and poor selectivity of 2-chlorophenol by existing means, and can be efficiently degraded at room temperature without the need for external temperature control equipment. It has the advantages of being green and low-carbon, and has stronger application significance in engineering practice; (2) It is the first to introduce the directed evolution method to improve the degradation efficiency of cytochrome P450 BM3 into the development of 2-chlorophenol degradation technology, and for the first time construct the optimal mutant R47L / Y51F / F81I / A82M / A184I / A330L / I401L. The P450BM3 mutant has a 2-chlorophenol degradation efficiency of 65.2% within 2 hours, which is higher than that of the wild-type P450 BM3 increased by 5.2 times, producing a single degradation product 2-chlorohydroquinone (product selectivity> 99%), which provides a way to achieve efficient and precise biodegradation of the difficult-to-degrade toxic organic pollutant 2-chlorophenol, and provides a reference for the efficient biodegradation of pollutants with similar structures; (3) The mutant R47L / Y51F / F81I / A82M / A184I / A330L / I401L, its K m and K cat 1.24 mM and 0.017 s, respectively -1 .

[0057] Example 1
[0058] 1. Construction of pET28a(+)-P450 BM3 plasmid
[0059] The cytochrome P450 BM3 gene from Priestia megaterium (PDB ID: 1FAG) was synthesized by Jinweizhi (Suzhou) and constructed on the pET28a(+) vector (provided by Jinweizhi (Suzhou)). The constructed plasmid was transformed into competent E. coli DH5α cells (purchased from Shenzhen Kangti Life Science Technology Co., Ltd.). The transformed mixture was evenly spread on a plate containing LB solid medium and incubated upside down at 37°C for 16 hours. A single colony was picked and inoculated into 2 mL of sterile LB liquid medium. After incubation at 37°C and 150 rpm for 8–12 hours, the pET28a(+)-P450 BM3 plasmid was extracted from E. coli DH5α using a column-based plasmid extraction kit and used as a template for iterative saturation mutagenesis.
[0060] Example 2: Construction of P450 BM3 Iterative Saturation Library
[0061] According to the conclusion of Example 1, primers were designed based on the gene sequence of wild-type cytochrome P450 BM3 included in PDB (amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO. 1, nucleotide sequence shown in SEQ ID NO. 2) (see Table 1). The parental P450 BM3 gene (nucleotide sequence is SEQ ID NO. 2) was subjected to site-directed saturation mutagenesis using primers R47NNK-F / R47NNK-R, Y51NNK-F / Y51NNK-R, F81NNK-F / F81NNK-R, F81I_A82NNK-F / F81I_A82NNK-R, A184NNK-F / A184NNK-R, A330NNK-F / A330NNK-R, and I401NNK-F / I401NNK-R (NNK degenerate codons cover 32 codon combinations (N=A / C / G / T, K=G / T) and can encode all 20 amino acids). pET-28a(+) was used as the expression vector to obtain mutant plasmids carrying the target genes, and the mutant plasmids carrying the target genes were transformed into E. coli. Mutants of recombinant bacteria containing the P450 BM3 mutant gene were obtained in BL21(DE3). The obtained recombinant bacterial mutants were screened for 2-chlorophenol degradation effects according to the method of Example 3. The selected best mutant R47L was used as a template, and the NNK primers Y51NNK-F / Y51NNK-R, F81NNK-F / F81NNK-R, F81I_A82NNK-F / F81I_A82NNK-R, A184NNK-F / A184NNK-R, A330NNK-F / A330NNK-R, and I401NNK-F / I401NNK-R with active sites having beneficial effects were used for iterative saturation mutagenesis. pET-28a(+) was used as the expression vector to obtain mutant plasmids carrying the target gene, and the mutant plasmids carrying the target gene were transformed into E. coli BL21(DE3) to obtain double mutants of recombinant bacteria containing the P450 BM3 mutant gene. The recombinant bacterial mutants obtained in the second round were screened for 2-chlorophenol degradation effects according to the method of Example 3, and the best double-mutated recombinant bacterial mutant R47L+Y51F was selected as the template for the next round of saturation mutagenesis. Similarly, triple, quadruple, pentamutant, and sextumutant with gradually improving 2-chlorophenol degradation effects were obtained, as well as the seven-mutant R47L+Y51F+F81I+A82M+A184I+A330L+I401L with the best degradation effect.
