Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of biocatalytic synthesis, and in particular to a glycosyltransferase UGTSL2 mutant and a one-pot biocatalytic method for synthesizing rebaudioside A into rebaudioside M2. Background Art

[0002] There is a growing demand among people, especially diabetics, for natural, calorie-free sugar substitutes. Stevioside is a natural, calorie-free ingredient extracted from stevia leaves.

[0003] Rebaudioside D is a stevioside with great application prospects. Its sweetness is 200-300 times higher than that of sucrose, but its short-term bitter taste affects its application and promotion in the market. Rebaudioside M2 ​​is a product that adds a glucose group to the C-6' position of the first glucose group connected to the C19 position of rebaudioside D. Compared with rebaudioside D, its sweetness is increased and its bitterness is eliminated. Therefore, rebaudioside M2 ​​has better sugar properties and more ideal taste than rebaudioside D.

[0004] At present, rebaudioside M2 ​​is a monoglycosylated derivative of rebaudioside D, which is obtained by bioconversion. NtUGT from tobacco (Nicotiana tomentosiformis) can catalyze the C-6' glycosylation reaction of the first glucose group attached to the C19 position of stevioside compounds, so the high-value sweetener rebaudioside M2 ​​can be obtained by catalyzing rebaudioside D with NtUGT.

[0005] NtUGT is a "Leloir" type glycosyltransferase, belonging to the GT1 family. It usually uses UDPG as a glycosyl donor to synthesize glycoside compounds. It can be obtained in large quantities by heterologous expression in Escherichia coli or Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and is used to catalyze the synthesis of rebaudioside M2 ​​from rebaudioside D. With the continuous improvement of UDPG production methods, it can be synthesized in large quantities by enzymatic methods such as SuSy. On this basis, the SuSy-UGT cascade reaction system is used, and SuSy is used to provide a glycosyl donor for NtUGT to achieve the recycling of UDPG, which greatly reduces the application cost. For the NtUGT-SuSy cascade system, SuSy provides the required glycosyl donor for the smooth progress of the glycosylation reaction. When the UDPG regeneration rate is not a limitation (for example, by increasing the sucrose concentration), the key to the efficiency of synthesizing rebaudioside M2 ​​lies in NtUGT. NtUGT from tobacco has poor thermal stability, and the enzyme is generally inactivated after 10 hours of catalysis, which limits the efficient application of glycosyltransferases. Summary of the invention

[0006] Therefore, the technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the defects of the prior art glycosyltransferase UGTSL2, namely, low enzyme activity and short half-life, thereby providing a glycosyltransferase UGTSL2 enzyme mutant with high enzyme activity and long half-life.

[0175] Example 2 Obtaining crude enzyme solution of UGTSL2 and mutants

[0176] The recombinant expression strain containing UGTSL2 and its mutants prepared in Example 1 was spread on LB solid plates (NaCl 10g / L, yeast powder 5g / L, peptone 10g / L, agar 20g / L) containing 50μg / L kanamycin, and placed in a 37°C incubator for constant temperature culture for 12h. The next day, a single colony was selected from the plate and placed in a shaking tube containing 5mL LB liquid culture medium (containing 50μg / L kanamycin), and cultured in a shaking table at 37°C, 200rpm for 12h as seed liquid. The seed liquid was transferred to 100mL TB culture medium (yeast powder 25g / L, peptone 15g / L, NaCl 10g / L, glucose 2g / L, lactose 0.5g / L, containing 50μg / L kanamycin) according to an inoculation amount of 1% (v:v). Placed in a shaking table at 37°C, 200rpm, shaken culture. After 2 h, the temperature was adjusted to 25 °C and the culture was continued for 20-22 h.

[0177] Collect the fermentation liquid and centrifuge it at 4°C, 7000rpm, 6min, discard the supernatant to get the bacterial mud, and rinse it twice with potassium phosphate buffer. Then add an appropriate amount of potassium phosphate buffer, place it in an ice-water mixture, and use an ultrasonic disruptor to ultrasonically disrupt the bacteria, with the parameters set to Ф6, 300W, 30min. Then centrifuge it in a refrigerated centrifuge, with the parameters set to 4°C, 8000rpm, 30min, and take the supernatant as the crude enzyme solution, which is stored in a 4°C refrigerator for later use.

[0178] The method for determining the activity of glycosyltransferase NtUGT_M is as follows: add 1mM substrate rebaudioside D, 2mM UDPG, 0.5mg crude enzyme to 3mL of enzyme catalytic reaction system, and then supplement with 100mM, pH 7.2 potassium phosphate buffer. The reaction conditions are 30℃, 200rpm; the sampling time is 0min, 20min, and 30min. Sample treatment: take 500μL, inactivate in a water bath at 95℃ for 5min, and wait for HPLC detection. Enzyme activity definition (U): The amount of enzyme required to convert 1μmol of product within 1 minute is 1 enzyme activity unit. Taking the wild enzyme activity as 100%, the relative enzyme activity of other mutant enzymes is obtained.

[0179] The method for determining the activity of glycosyltransferase UGTSL2 is as follows: add 1mM substrate rebaudioside A, 2mM UDPG, 0.5mg crude enzyme to 3mL of enzyme catalytic reaction system, and then supplement with 100mM, pH 7.2 potassium phosphate buffer. The reaction conditions are 30℃, 200rpm; the sampling time is 0min, 20min, and 30min. Sample treatment: take 500μL, inactivate in a water bath at 95℃ for 5min, and wait for HPLC detection. Enzyme activity definition (U): The amount of enzyme required to convert 1μmol of product within 1 minute is 1 enzyme activity unit. Taking the wild enzyme activity as 100%, the relative enzyme activity of other mutant enzymes is obtained.

[0180] The half-life detection method is: incubate the wild enzyme and the mutant enzyme for different time periods in a 37°C water bath, measure the enzyme activity, draw the half-life curve and calculate the half-life time. The enzyme activity detection scheme is the same as above. The enzyme activity detection shows that the multi-point mutant UGTSL2_M not only has an enzyme activity of 690% of the wild enzyme, but also has a half-life extended by 9.4h, and its ability to catalyze rebaudioside D is far superior to that of the wild enzyme. The specific data are shown in Table 1.

[0182]

[0183] Note: The enzyme activities of other mutants are lower than that of the UGTSL2 strain and are not listed here.

[0184] Example 3 Construction of a three-enzyme coupling system

[0185] The glycosyltransferase UGTSL2_M (nucleotide sequence as shown in SEQ ID NO.4) derived from Stevia was inserted into the NdeI / XhoI site of the pRSFDuet-1 vector obtained in Example 1, and the sucrose synthase AtSuSy nucleotide sequence (SEQ ID NO.8) derived from Arabidopsis was inserted into the site NcoI / EcoRI to obtain the recombinant expression plasmid pRSFDuet-1-AtSuSy-UGTSL. It was introduced into Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3) for induction and expression to obtain BL21 (DE3)-pRSFDuet-1-AtSuSy-UGTSL. The amino acid sequence of the sucrose synthase AtSuSy derived from Arabidopsis is shown in SEQ ID NO.7.

[0186] The double gene expression vector pRSFDuet-1 was selected, and the glycosyltransferase NtUGT_M nucleotide sequence (SEQ ID NO.6) from Stevia was inserted into the NdeI / XhoI site of the vector, and the sucrose synthase AtSuSy nucleotide sequence (SEQ ID NO.8) from Arabidopsis was inserted into the site NcoI / EcoRI to obtain pRSFDuet-1-NtUGT_M-AtSuSy. The recombinant plasmid was introduced into Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3) for induction and expression to obtain BL21 (DE3)-pRSFDuet-1-NtUGT_M-AtSuSy. The amino acid sequence of glycosyltransferase NtUGT_M is shown in SEQ ID NO.5.

[0187] Fermentation induction of three enzymes: BL21(DE3)-pRSFDuet-1-AtSuSy-UGTSL and BL21(DE3)-pRSFDuet-1-NtUGT_M-AtSuSy strains were spread on LB solid plates (Na Cl 10g / L, yeast powder 5g / L, peptone 10g / L, agar 20g / L) containing 50μg / L kanamycin, and placed in a 37°C incubator for constant temperature culture for 12h. The next day, a single colony was selected from the plate and placed in a shaking tube containing 5mL LB liquid culture medium (containing 50μg / L kanamycin), and cultured in a shaking incubator at 37°C, 200rpm for 12h as seed liquid. The seed liquid was transferred to 100mL TB culture medium (containing 50μg / L kanamycin) at a 1% (v:v) inoculation amount. Place in a shaking incubator at 37°C, 200rpm for shaking culture. After 2 h, the temperature was adjusted to 25 °C and the culture was continued for 20-22 h.

[0188] The fermentation broth was collected and centrifuged at 4°C, 7000rpm, 6min, and the supernatant was discarded to obtain bacterial mud, which was rinsed twice with potassium phosphate buffer. An appropriate amount of potassium phosphate buffer was added, placed in an ice-water mixture, and the bacterial cells were ultrasonically disrupted with an ultrasonic disruptor, with the parameters set to Ф6, 300W, and 30min. Centrifuge with a refrigerated centrifuge, with the parameters set to 4°C, 8000rpm, and 30min. The supernatant was taken as the crude enzyme solution, which was stored in a refrigerator at 4°C for later use. The crude enzyme solution containing UGTSL2_M and the crude enzyme solution containing NtUGT_M and were obtained, which were the crude enzyme solutions used in the following Examples 4-8.

[0189] Example 4 Optimizing the reaction temperature of the one-pot reaction system

[0190] For UGTSL2_M, NtUGT_M and AtSuSy, although increasing the reaction temperature can obtain higher enzyme activity, it is often accompanied by the inactivation of enzyme proteins. Therefore, selecting a suitable reaction temperature to balance the effectiveness between enzyme activity and protein inactivation is also an important part of optimizing the catalytic reaction system. The reaction system was incubated at 30°C, 33°C, 37°C and 40°C, respectively, and other conditions remained the same, including 50g / L rebaudioside A, 450g / L sucrose, pH 8.0 100mM sodium phosphate buffer, additional addition of 2mM UDP (human uridine diphosphate, Shanghai Yuanye Biological Co., Ltd.) and 1:1 UGTSL2_M (25mU / mL) and NtUGT_M (25mU / mL) enzyme activity ratio. After 48h of reaction, the reaction was terminated by heating, and the reaction solution was analyzed by HPLC. UGTSL2_M and NtUGT_M enzymes are both crude enzyme solutions prepared in Example 3.

[0191] The results are as follows Figure 1 As shown in the figure, the experimental results show that when the reaction is carried out at 30℃ and 33℃, the yield of RM2 (a byproduct of unknown structure) is low, 15.5mM and 24.0mM respectively, and both will accumulate more rebaudioside D and rebaudioside D2. Due to the lower temperature, the catalytic efficiency is reduced, and the two intermediate products of rebaudioside D and rebaudioside D2 (RD2) cannot be converted into the target product rebaudioside M2 ​​in time, and even the substrate rebaudioside A is not completely consumed. When the reaction temperature is increased to 37℃ and 40℃, the substrate rebaudioside A is completely converted, and the synthesized rebaudioside M2 ​​is 30.9mM and 31.1mM respectively. The reaction temperature is set to 40℃ to obtain the highest yield of rebaudioside M2.

[0192] Example 5 Optimizing the reaction pH of the one-pot reaction system

[0193] In the UGT-SuSy coupling reaction system, the catalysis was performed under buffer conditions of pH 7, 7.5, 8, 8.5, 9 and 9.5, respectively. Other conditions remained the same, including 50 g / L rebaudioside A, 450 g / L sucrose, additional 2 mM UDP and 1:1 enzyme activity ratio of UGTSL2_M (25 mU / mL) and NtUGT_M (25 mU / mL), and the reaction was incubated at 35 °C. After 48 h of catalysis, the reaction was terminated by heating and the reaction solution was analyzed by HPLC. The experimental results are shown in Figure 2. Figure 2As shown in the figure, it can be intuitively found that alkaline buffer conditions inhibit the efficiency of UGT-SuSy coupling reaction, especially in the buffer environment of pH 9 and pH 9.5, a large amount of substrate rebaudioside A was not converted, and the yield of rebaudioside M2 ​​was 3.36mM and 0.58mM, respectively. In the slightly alkaline buffer environment (pH 7.5, 8.0, 8.5), the productivity of rebaudioside M2 ​​was still insufficient, with yields of 25.47mM, 21.31mM and 9.36mM, respectively. Considering the buffer requirements of AtSuS y, UGTSL2_M and NtUGT_M, the buffer condition was set to pH 7.0 100mM sodium phosphate buffer to synthesize the highest content of rebaudioside M2, which reached 28.46mM.

[0194] Example 6 Optimization of the enzyme activity ratio of UGTSL2_M and NtUGT_M in the one-pot reaction system

[0195] UGTSL2_M and NtUGT_M are key enzymes for two-step glycosylation, and their addition amount and addition ratio are closely related to the synthesis efficiency of the target and intermediate products. In the UGTSL2_M and NtUGT_M addition amount optimization experiment, the UGTSL2_M and NtUGT_M enzyme activity addition ratios were set to 3:7, 4:6, 5:5, 6:4 and 7:3 (total enzyme activity was 50mU / mL), and other conditions remained the same, including 50g / L rebaudioside A, 450g / L sucrose, and additional 2mM UDP, catalyzing the reaction in pH 8.0 100mM sodium phosphate buffer and 35°C. The reaction was terminated by heating after 48h of catalysis, and the reaction solution was analyzed by HPLC.

[0196] The results are as follows Figure 3 As shown in the figure, when the enzyme activity addition ratio of UGTSL2_M and NtUGT_M is 3:7, 4:6, 5:5, 6:4 and 7:3, 23.72mM, 26.1mM, 23.08mM, 21.96mM and 19.19mM are synthesized in sequence, and the enzyme activity addition ratio of 4:6 is the highest in the adjustment of enzyme amount ratio. Adding UGTSL2_M or NtUGT_M on the basis of the enzyme activity addition ratio of 4:6 will lead to excessive accumulation of intermediates.

[0197] Example 7 Optimization of the substrate sucrose addition ratio in the one-pot reaction system

[0198] In the experiment of optimizing the added sucrose content, 6, 9, 12, 15 and 18 times the amount of sucrose as the acceptor substrate were added to the reaction system, and other conditions remained the same, including 50 g / L of rebaudioside A, additional 2 mM UDP and 1:1 enzyme activity ratio of UGTSL2_M (25 mU / mL) and NtUGT_M (25 mU / mL), and the reaction was catalyzed in pH 8.0 100 mM sodium phosphate buffer and 35 ° C. After catalysis for 48 hours, the reaction was terminated by heating and the reaction solution was analyzed by HPLC. The results are shown in Figure 4 As shown in the figure, the experimental results show that excessive addition of sucrose in the three-enzyme coupling catalytic system will reduce the yield of rebaudioside M2, excessive accumulation of the intermediate product rebaudioside D, and a decrease in the conversion efficiency of rebaudioside A. It is speculated that excessive sucrose may strengthen the pathway of UGTSL2_M to convert rebaudioside A to rebaudioside D, causing excessive precipitation of rebaudioside D and reducing the catalytic efficiency of NtUGT_M to convert rebaudioside D to rebaudioside M2. 6, 9, 12, 15 and 18 times the amount of sucrose synthesized 27.90, 29.69, 24.02, 17.51 ​​and 8.04 mM, respectively, among which the substrate and sucrose addition ratio of 1:9 can catalyze the synthesis of the highest rebaudioside M2 ​​yield.

[0199] Example 8 Optimizing the addition ratio of substrate UDP in the one-pot reaction system

[0200] The UDP contained in the catalytic system comes from the host cell lysate. If the UDP content in the lysate is insufficient, it will limit the regeneration rate of UDPG. Adding a small amount of additional UDP can solve this problem. In the experiment to explore the amount of UDP added, 0, 1, 2, 3 and 4 mM UDP were added to the three-enzyme coupling catalytic reaction system, and other reaction conditions remained consistent, including 50 g / L rebaudioside A (RA), 9 times the sucrose / substrate ratio and 1:1 enzyme activity ratio of UG TSL2_M (25 mU / mL) to NtUGT_M (25 mU / mL). The reaction was catalyzed in pH 8.0 100 mM sodium phosphate buffer and 35°C. The reaction was terminated by heating after 48 hours of catalysis, and the reaction solution was analyzed by HPLC. The results are shown in Figure 5 As shown, the results showed that compared with the blank control group with zero addition of UDP, the yield of RM2 in the coupling reaction with the additional addition of 1-4 mM UDP was significantly increased, generating 19.38, 21.98, 23.98, 24.99 and 24.74 mM, respectively, among which the addition of 3 mM UDP could catalyze the synthesis of the highest yield of rebaudioside M2.

[0201] Example 9 One-pot catalytic synthesis of rebaudioside A into rebaudioside M2

[0202] The three-enzyme coupling reaction system uses 70 g / L rebaudioside A, 420 g / L sucrose, 3 mM UDP, and an enzyme activity ratio of 4:6 between UGTSL2_M (20 mU / mL) and NtUGT_M (30 mU / mL). Under the reaction conditions of pH 7.0 100 mM sodium phosphate buffer and 37°C, the substrate rebaudioside A is completely converted to generate 61.0 mM rebaudioside M2 ​​(78.8 g / L), and the product yield is over 80%.
