Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a halohydrin dehalogenase, in particular to a halohydrin dehalogenase mutant, and belongs to the technical field of environmental remediation microorganisms. Background Art

[0002] Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) refer to organic pollutants that have the potential for environmental persistence, bioaccumulation, long-range environmental migration, and adverse effects on human health or the ecological environment. my country attaches great importance to POPs control and has carried out a lot of related basic research, technology development and industrial application. Halogenated organic pollutants are organic pollutants containing halogen atoms. Most halogenated organic pollutants have the same characteristics as POPs and are called halogenated persistent organic pollutants or persistent halogenated organic pollutants. Halogenated alcohols are important intermediates for the synthesis of chiral drugs and pesticide chemicals, and are also important intermediate metabolites for the biodegradation of halogenated persistent organic pollutants. They are produced in large quantities during industrial production processes, and continue to accumulate during the biodegradation process and are eventually discharged into the environment. Halogenated aliphatic alcohols in halogenated alcohols are highly toxic compounds that can cause nervous system and metabolic disorders and have obvious irritating effects. They are toxic organic pollutants in the environment. Typical halogenated aliphatic alcohols such as chloropropanols have four homologues, including 2,3-dichloro-1-propanol (DCP) and 3-chloro-1,2-propanediol (CPD). Among them, CPD may cause cancer, affect the kidneys and fertility, and many countries in the world have regulations on its content in food.

[0003] Methods for treating the above pollutants include physical adsorption, biodegradation, chemical degradation, etc. In the biodegradation method, halohydrin dehalogenase can catalyze the dehalogenation reaction of halogenated aliphatic alcohol pollutants through an intramolecular nucleophilic substitution mechanism, converting them into high value-added environmentally friendly products, such as catalytic degradation of DCP to produce epichlorohydrin (ECH), or catalytic degradation of CPD to produce glycidol (GDL). Therefore, halohydrin dehalogenase has important application prospects in the fields of environmental pollution control and resource utilization.

[0004] At present, there are relatively few known types of halohydrin dehalogenases, and the dehalogenation efficiency of natural halohydrin dehalogenases is insufficient, which restricts their application in the biological treatment of high-concentration halohydrin pollutants. In addition, the research on halohydrin dehalogenases mainly focuses on the asymmetric synthesis of drug intermediates, while there are few reports on environmental application research on improving their dehalogenation and detoxification efficiency. For example, the halohydrin dehalogenase mutants and engineered bacteria disclosed in Chinese patent CN 104745556 B catalyze the asymmetric dehalogenation of 1,3-dichloropropanol to synthesize (S)-epichlorohydrin and β-substituted alcohols, and the obtained halohydrin dehalogenase mutants have higher enantioselectivity, but no modification to improve the dehalogenation activity has been performed. Chinese patent application CN 110423740A discloses that a mutant is obtained by performing single point mutation or combined mutation on arginine at position 89, valine at position 137, proline at position 178, asparagine at position 179, and phenylalanine at position 187 of a halohydrin dehalogenase, and the enantiomeric selectivity is significantly improved when preparing (S)-o-nitrophenyl glycidyl ether, (R)-benzyl glycidyl ether, and (R)-phenyl glycidyl ether, but the dehalogenation efficiency of other aliphatic halohydrin substrates needs to be improved. Chinese patent application CN 118222538A discloses a halohydrin dehalogenase HheC mutant T134M or P84L / W139A, using the halohydrin dehalogenase HheC from radioactive soil bacillus AgrobacteriumradiobacterAD1 with the most stereoselective reaction activity as the mutant original enzyme, realizing the efficient enantioselective biosynthesis of key drug intermediate chiral tetrahydrofuran compounds, but the substrate is δ-halohydrin, and other aliphatic halohydrins are not mentioned. Halohydrin dehalogenase HheC can catalyze the dehalogenation reaction of halohydrin to generate corresponding epoxides and halide ions, and has a detoxification and metabolic effect on aliphatic halohydrin pollutants. However, the existing halohydrin dehalogenase HheC has a low catalytic dechlorination efficiency for DCP and CPD, and does not have the conditions for application in environmental pollution control or resource utilization.

[0047]

[0048]

After the PCR product was verified by 1% agarose gel electrophoresis, 1 μL of DpnI was added to the PCR product and digested at 37°C for 2 h to remove the template plasmid DNA. Transformed into competent cells E. coli DH5α, the transformed mixture was evenly spread on a plate containing 100 μg / mL ampicillin on an LB solid medium, inverted and cultured in a 37°C incubator for 16 h, a single colony was picked and inoculated into 5 mL of sterile LB liquid medium containing 100 μg / mL ampicillin, and cultured at 37°C and 150 rpm for 8 h to 12 h. The saturated mutation library plasmid was extracted from E. coli DH5α using a column plasmid extraction kit, and then transformed into E. coli BL21 (DE3) competent cells, coated with 100 μg / mL ampicillin on an LB plate, and cultured at 37°C overnight to obtain the HheC mutation library. At this time, many single colonies with different mutations appeared on the LB plate, and these single colonies were used for subsequent screening of the mutation library.

[0051] The parent strain E. coli BL21(DE3)-HheC WT was constructed using the same method.

[0052] Example 3 Screening of HheC mutants with improved dehalogenation efficiency

[0053] Screening of HheC mutant library Using HheC WT as a reference, single colony clones were picked from the mutant library constructed in Example 2 and cultured in a 1 mL deep 96-well plate. 400 μL of LB culture medium containing a final concentration of 100 μg / mL ampicillin was added in advance, and three parent strains were picked and placed in the last three wells of the 96-well plate as controls. A 1mL 96-well plate was cultured at 37°C for 8h as the seed solution, and then 100μL of the seed solution was added to a new 2mL deep 48-well plate for culture. Sterile TB culture medium (formula: 2% tryptone, 2.4% yeast extract, 72mM K2HPO4, 17mM KH2PO4, 0.4% glycerol) containing a final concentration of 100μg / mL ampicillin was added in advance. After culturing at 37°C for 12h, IPTG was added at a final concentration of 0.5mM. After inducing expression at 20°C for 16h, centrifuged at 4°C 4000rpm for 5min, the supernatant was discarded, and the wet bacteria were collected for the next step of screening.

[0054] Add 500 μL of 50 mM Tris-SO4 (pH=8.5) buffer to each well, resuspend the cells, add 20 mM DCP and 20 mM CPD at a final concentration, and react at 25°C and 400 rpm for 1 hour. Extract with 500 μL of ethyl acetate, centrifuge at 12000 rpm for 1 minute, and take 300 μL of supernatant for gas chromatography.

[0055] Gas phase analysis conditions: Agilent-8860GC and Cyclosil-B column, gas phase program is 60°C for 2 min, 10°C / min program to 160°C, and then 50°C / min program to 240°C. Retention time is Rt(DCP)=11.7min, Rt(CPD)=12.5min, Rt(ECH)=5.8min, Rt(GDL)=7.1min.

[0058] According to the conclusion of Example 3, the recombinant bacteria expressing mutant A83W / P84G / F86W obtained by screening were inoculated into a sterile test tube containing 100 μg / mL ampicillin LB medium in advance, and cultured at 37°C 150rpm shaking for 6h-8h, and then added to a 2L conical flask according to the inoculum of 1%, and 1L of sterile TB medium containing 100 μg / mL ampicillin was added in advance, and cultured at 37°C for 12h, and then IPTG with a final concentration of 0.5mM was added, and after induced expression at 20°C for 16h, the supernatant was discarded and the wet cells were collected. 20mL 50mM Tris-SO4 (pH=8.5) buffer was added to the wet cells to resuspend the cells, 10 μL of the supernatant was taken to measure the cell concentration OD600, and the buffer was added to dilute to OD600=10.

[0059] Add 5 mL of the diluted supernatant and DCP and CPD with a final concentration of 20 mM to two 10 mL glass reaction bottles, respectively, put in a magnetic stirrer, stir and mix using a magnetic stirrer, react at 25 °C and 400 rpm for 60 min, and take the supernatant after the reaction at 5 min, 10 min, 20 min, 30 min, and 60 min.

[0060] 500 μL of the reaction solution was taken from each sample, extracted with 500 μL of ethyl acetate, and then centrifuged at 12000 rpm for 1 min. 300 μL of the supernatant was taken and detected by gas chromatography.

[0061] The degradation kinetics of DCP and CPD by HheC mutant A83W / P84G / F86W are shown in Figure 2 Figure 5 and Figure 6 As the reaction proceeded, DCP and CPD were degraded, and the concentrations of the dehalogenated products ECH and GDL gradually increased. At 60 min, the yield of ECH reached 42.2%, and the yield of GDL reached 98.6%.

[0062] Example 5 Optimal pH for the degradation of DCP and CPD by HheC mutant A83W / P84G / F86W

[0063] Based on the conclusion of Example 4, the optimal pH for HheC mutant A83W / P84G / F86W to degrade DCP and CPD was explored. The wet cell preparation method was the same as that of Example 4, and the cells were resuspended to OD600=10 for later use.

[0064] 1 mL of the resuspended mixed solution was added to 5 sterile centrifuge tubes of 2 mL, centrifuged at 4 ° C 4000 rpm for 10 min, the supernatant was discarded, 900 μL of buffers of different pH (pH = 6 sodium hydrogen phosphate-citric acid buffer, pH = 7.4 sodium hydrogen phosphate-citric acid buffer, pH = 8 sodium hydrogen phosphate-citric acid buffer, pH = 8.5 Tris-SO4 buffer, pH = 9 sodium borate buffer, pH = 10 borate buffer) were added to 5 centrifuge tubes to resuspend the bacterial solution, 500 μL of the supernatant was added to 5 5 mL glass reaction bottles, and then DCP was added to a final concentration of 20 mM, and a magnetic stirrer was used to stir and mix, and the reaction was carried out at 25 ° C 400 rpm for 1 h. The extraction and detection methods of the reaction solution are the same as those in Example 4.

[0065] The experimental results are as follows Figure 7 As shown, the optimal pH for the HheC mutant A83W / P84G / F86W to dehalogenate DCP is 10, and it can maintain good activity in the pH range of 8 to 10, with an ECH yield of >40%.

[0066] The optimal pH results for CPD dehalogenation of HheC mutant A83W / P84G / F86W were obtained by referring to the above method. Figure 8 As shown, its optimum pH is 8, and it can maintain good activity in the pH range of 8-9, with a GDL yield of >98%.

[0067] Example 6 Optimal Temperature for Degrading DCP and CPD by HheC Mutant A83W / P84G / F86W

[0068] Based on the conclusion of Example 4, the optimal temperature for HheC mutant A83W / P84G / F86W to degrade DCP and CPD was explored. The wet cell preparation method was the same as that of Example 4, and the cells were resuspended to OD600=10 for later use.

[0069] 1 mL of the diluted supernatant was taken into 8 5 mL glass reaction bottles, and DCP with a final concentration of 20 mM was added to 4 of the reaction bottles, and CPD with a final concentration of 20 mM was added to the remaining 4 reaction bottles, and a magnetic stirrer was placed, and the mixture was stirred and mixed using a magnetic stirrer, and the mixture was reacted at 18 ° C, 25 ° C, 37 ° C, and 45 ° C at 400 rpm for 1 h. The extraction and detection methods of the reaction solution were the same as those in Example 4.

[0070] The experimental results are as follows Fig. 9 and Fig.10 As shown. Different temperatures have a significant effect on the catalytic effect of HheC mutants. The optimum temperature of HheC mutant A83W / P84G / F86W for substrate DCP is 45°C, and the catalytic activity increases with increasing temperature. At room temperature, the catalytic activity is >40%; for substrate CPD, it has the highest degradation activity at room temperature, and the catalytic activity of HheC mutant for CPD will decrease with increasing or decreasing temperature. Therefore, HheC mutants can efficiently dehalogenate DCP and CPD at room temperature without the need for external temperature control equipment, saving energy consumption, and have the characteristics of green and low carbon.

[0072] Based on the conclusion of Example 4, the Michaelis-Menten kinetic parameters of the degradation of DCP and CPD by the HheC mutant A83W / P84G / F86W were investigated. The wet bacterial cells were prepared in the same manner as in Example 4 and resuspended for later use.

[0073] The mixed solution after resuspending was ultrasonically broken at 4°C for 10 min, the ultrasonic power was 65%, the ultrasound was turned on for 2s and turned off for 6s. Then centrifuged at 4°C 12000rpm for 15min, the supernatant was taken, and the protein was purified by affinity chromatography. The absorbance was measured at A280 using a UV spectrophotometer to calculate the protein concentration. Diluted with 50mM Tris-SO4 (pH=8.5) buffer to a protein concentration of 1μM. Take 1mL of the diluted protein solution in 10 5mL glass reaction bottles, of which 5 glass reaction bottles were respectively added with DCP at a final concentration of 0.5mM, 2mM, 5mM, 10mM, and 50mM, and the remaining 5 glass reaction bottles were respectively added with CPD at a final concentration of 0.5mM, 1mM, 5mM, 10mM, and 25mM, and the reaction was carried out at 25°C 400rpm with magnetic stirring for 10min. The extraction and detection methods of the reaction solution are the same as those in Example 4.

[0074] The enzyme catalyzed reaction rate was determined, and a double reciprocal curve was drawn based on the reciprocal of the reaction rate and substrate concentration to calculate the Michaelis-Menten kinetic parameters. The results showed that the Michaelis-Menten kinetic parameters Km and Kcat of the HheC mutant for DCP were 0.50 mM and 0.25 s, respectively. -1 The Km and Kcat for CPD were 1.84 mM and 2.87 s -1 .
