Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of bioengineering, in particular to an enzyme and an application thereof in the preparation of feruloyltyramide. Background Art

[0002] The active ingredient of traditional Chinese medicine, feruloyl tyramide, has free radical scavenging and antioxidant effects. It also has antibacterial, melanin synthesis inhibition, insulin secretion stimulation and other activities. Studies have shown that ferulic acid amide derivatives represented by ferulic acid tyramide are significantly superior to ferulic acid and ferulic acid ester derivatives in terms of antioxidant activity and thermal stability. Their heat resistance temperature is above 200°C, especially in the frying oil industry as a high-stability natural antioxidant, showing great application prospects (Jin Wenhua, Zhang Jinfang, Gao Liang, Wang Xingguo, Wang Xiaosan. Evaluation of the antioxidant properties of different addition amounts of ferulic acid amide substances in soybean oil frying system [J]. China Oils and Fats, 2021, 46(05): 89-92+116.). At present, feruloyl tyramide is mainly extracted from traditional Chinese medicines such as citronella and Lycium bark. Due to the limited natural resources of traditional Chinese medicine and the low content in plants, relying solely on direct extraction cannot meet people's long-term needs.

[0003] Existing preparation methods of feruloyl tyramide include chemical synthesis and biological preparation. Chemical synthesis: At present, the chemical synthesis method of feruloyl tyramide is mainly the acyl chloride method. The reaction method has poor reaction atom economy, large energy loss, and is prone to waste of resources; the added coupling agent and organic solvent are prone to environmental pollution. Biological preparation: The enzymes used to catalyze the synthesis reaction of feruloyl tyramide are mostly lipases and individual acyltransferases. The catalysis of lipase needs to be carried out in an organic phase system. If these solvents cannot be recovered or recycled, their waste treatment will cause pollution to the environment; and acyltransferases need to use coenzyme A (CoA) as an acyl donor, and CoA and its derivatives (such as feruloyl coenzyme A) are usually expensive, which will increase production costs. For example, Chinese patent CN109082433 A provides a method for preparing feruloyl tyramide, which uses feruloyl coenzyme A as an acyl donor to prepare feruloyl tyramide, and its preparation cost is relatively high.

[0004] As mentioned above, so far, since the production process of feruloyl tyramine is still mainly based on traditional chemical synthesis, it is usually necessary to protect and deprotect active groups such as hydroxyl groups, and use toxic and harmful coupling agents such as DCC or DMAP or expensive chemical catalysts to activate the carboxyl group in situ, which directly leads to the high production cost of the product, thereby restricting its further promotion and application. In contrast, the use of bioenzymatic synthesis has shown great advantages in the synthesis of feruloyl tyramine due to its mild reaction conditions, ingredients, raw materials and green reaction process. However, the problem of high production cost of bioenzymatic method still needs to be further solved. Summary of the invention

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide an application of an enzyme and a mutant thereof in catalytic production of feruloyltyramine.

[0006] The technical solution of the present invention is as follows:

The enzyme is used as a template for transformation, and the peripheral amino acid residues are mutated to finally obtain a mutant with high catalytic activity for producing feruloyltyramine.

[0009] The mutant is a mutant in which the T at position 421 of the enzyme is mutated into a hydrophobic amino acid.

A 6×His tag and a thrombin protease cleavage site are introduced upstream of the gene encoding the protein sequence, and then on the basis of the parent sequence with the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1, the 421st position in the parent sequence is mutated to isoleucine (I) and valine (V), respectively, and its amino acid sequences are SEQ ID NO: 2 and SEQ ID NO: 3, and the nucleotide sequences are SEQ ID NO: 6 and SEQ ID NO: 7, respectively. Finally, the efficient synthesis of feruloyltyramide is achieved, which can be used for industrial catalytic preparation.

[0011] In some specific embodiments, the mutation sites in the mutant are: T421I (SEQ ID NO: 2); T421V (SEQ ID NO: 3).

[0022] Furthermore, the reaction system also includes polyphosphate kinase (PPK) and polyphosphate (PolyP).

[0077] Example 2: Fermentation of wild-type Azo and its mutant recombinant expression strains and purification of recombinant proteins

[0078] 2.1 Expression of mutants

[0079] The plasmid of the Azo mutant obtained in Example 1 was transformed into E. coli competent cells BL21 (DE3), and the transformation solution was spread on an LB plate containing 100 μg / mL kanamycin, and cultured at 37° C. overnight. The single colony grown was the expression strain.

[0080] A single colony of the Azo mutant was picked and inoculated into 5 ml of LB medium and cultured overnight at 37°C and 220 rpm until OD 600 After the inoculum was about 0.8-0.9, it was inoculated into a 500 mL conical flask containing 100 mL of kanamycin-resistant LB liquid medium at a 2% (v / v) inoculum and cultured in a constant temperature shaker at 37°C and 220 rpm until the OD 600 After the concentration is about 0.8-0.9, it is amplified to 500 ml of autoinduction medium (1% (w / v) peptone, 0.5% (w / v) yeast extract, 0.05% (w / v) glucose, 0.2% (w / v) lactose, 0.5% (w / v) glycerol, 25 mM Na 2 HPO 4 , 25mM KH 2 PO 4 , 50 mM NH 4 Cl, 5 mM Na 2 SO 4 , 2 mM MgSO 4 ) for expansion culture.600 When the culture temperature reaches about 1.0, the culture temperature is lowered from 37°C to 16°C, and the speed is adjusted to 200 rpm for induction. The induction time is 20 hours. After the induction is completed, the bacteria are harvested. The fermentation broth is centrifuged at 4°C and 8000 rpm for 20 minutes, and then the culture medium is discarded to collect the bacteria. The bacteria obtained after centrifugation are washed twice with pre-cooled Tris-HCl buffer (pH 9.0) to remove the residual culture medium components in the bacteria.

[0081] 2.2 Purification of mutants

[0082] The obtained bacteria were resuspended in Tris-HCl buffer (pH 9.0) and the cells were disrupted by ultrasound. The cell disruption solution was centrifuged (10000r / min, 30min) and the supernatant was obtained as the prepared crude enzyme solution of amide bond synthetase Azo or mutant.

[0083] The bacteria were resuspended in Tris-HCl buffer (pH 9.0) at a ratio of 1:10 (m / v) and ultrasonically disrupted on ice for 20 minutes. When the bacterial solution was clear and uniform, it was considered that the disruption was sufficient. The disrupted solution was centrifuged at 4°C and 11,000 rpm for 30 minutes, and the supernatant crude enzyme solution was collected and filtered with a 0.45 μm water-based microporous filter membrane to remove insoluble impurities and tiny bacterial fragments in the crude enzyme solution. The amide bond synthetase was purified using the AKTA Purifier protein purification system, and the chromatography column used was the affinity chromatography column His Prep TM FF16 / 10 and salt exchange column HiPrep TM 26 / 10, all solutions entering the AKTA protein purifier are filtered through a 0.45μm water-based microporous filter membrane. The specific operation steps are as follows: first, use deionized water to drain the alcohol protection liquid in the protein purifier, and then use the loading buffer to balance the affinity chromatography column HisPrep at a flow rate of 5mL / min. TM FF16 / 10, to OD 280 After the conductivity value reaches equilibrium, the crude enzyme solution is pumped into the protein purifier at a flow rate of 3 mL / min. After the binding sites on the Ni column are fully occupied by the target protein, the affinity chromatography column is equilibrated with Tris-HCl buffer (pH 9.0) containing 50 mM imidazole at a flow rate of 5 mL / min to remove unbound impurities. 280 The target protein was then eluted with Tris-HCl buffer (pH 9.0) containing 200 mM imidazole at 3 mL / min and collected in a centrifuge tube. TM26 / 10 salt change, first use salt change buffer to balance the system at a flow rate of 5mL / min, then pump the collected target protein into the protein purifier at an appropriate volume, and then use salt change buffer to change the salt until the end. The final target protease solution is concentrated to a suitable concentration using a 10kDa ultrafiltration tube, packaged, pre-frozen in liquid nitrogen, and stored at -80℃. The target protein band is attached Figure 1 , 2 .

[0084] 2.2 Detection of mutant protein concentration

[0085] The concentration of mutant protein was determined using the Brandford protein assay kit. A series of concentrations of bovine serum albumin were prepared as protein concentration standard solutions to prepare a standard curve. 10 μl of standard protein of different concentrations were added to a 96-well plate, and then 200 μl of Brandford reagent was added. After reacting at room temperature for 5 minutes, the absorbance was measured at 595 nm. The protein concentration standard curve was obtained based on the known protein concentration and the corresponding absorbance. The absorbance of the mutant protein at 595 nm was measured under the same reaction conditions, and the parallel test was performed more than three times. The mutant protein concentration was obtained after comparing the protein concentration standard curve.

[0087] The reaction system for catalytic synthesis of feruloyltyramide is shown in the table below. Each solution in the table is added to a 2mL centrifuge tube, and then placed in a constant temperature metal bath, and reacted for 36 hours at 30°C and 500rpm.
