Technical Field

[0002] The invention relates to a biological fermentation method for tagatose, and in particular to an application of a product in catalyzing fructose hexaphosphate to prepare tagatose hexaphosphate or catalyzing starch to prepare tagatose in one step. Background Art

[0003] The information disclosed in this background technology section is only intended to enhance the understanding of the overall background of the invention, and should not necessarily be regarded as an admission or any form of suggestion that the information constitutes the prior art already known to a person skilled in the art.

[0004] According to the inventor's research, starch is converted into tagatose in one step through the joint action of glycogen phosphorylase, phosphoglucomutase, glucose-6-phosphate isomerase, tagatose-6-phosphate synthase, and phosphatase. The specific process is as follows: starch and phosphate form glucose-1-phosphate (glucose monophosphate) under the catalytic action of glycogen phosphorylase, glucose-6-phosphate (glucose-6-phosphate) can be converted into glucose-6-phosphate (glucose-6-phosphate) by phosphoglucomutase, glucose-6-phosphate can be isomerized into fructose-6-phosphate (fructose-6-phosphate) under the catalytic action of glucose-6-phosphate isomerase, fructose-6-phosphate isomerized into tagatose-6-phosphate (tagatose-6-phosphate) by tagatose-6-phosphate synthase, and tagatose-6-phosphate is dephosphorylated to form tagatose under the action of phosphatase. However, the above method currently used to convert starch into tagatose in one step has many byproducts and low yield, which affects its application in the production of tagatose. Summary of the invention

[0005] In order to solve the deficiencies of the prior art, the object of the present invention is to provide an application of a product in catalyzing the preparation of tagatose hexaphosphate from fructose hexaphosphate or catalyzing the preparation of tagatose from starch in one step. The tagatase provided by the present invention has higher temperature stability and is more conducive to improving the efficiency of converting starch into tagatose.

[0006] In order to achieve the above object, the technical solution of the present invention is:

[0007] A product is used in catalyzing fructose hexaphosphate to prepare tagatose hexaphosphate or catalyzing starch to prepare tagatose in one step. The product is tagatose hexaphosphate synthase, a nucleotide encoding the tagatose hexaphosphate synthase, or a microorganism expressing the tagatose hexaphosphate synthase. The amino acid sequence of the tagatose hexaphosphate synthase is shown in SEQ ID NO.1.

[0008] The present invention screened and cloned a tagatose 6-phosphate synthase (T6PE-T) derived from Thermoflexus sp. from the metagenome of high-temperature hot springs. Compared with the existing tagatose 6-phosphate synthase, T6PE-T has higher high-temperature catalytic stability and extremely low fructose 6-phosphate Km, and can continuously and more specifically catalyze the production of more tagatose 6-phosphate at high temperature (50-70°C) under the condition of adding less enzyme, thereby improving the yield of tagatose 6-phosphate.

[0009] Furthermore, the nucleic acid sequence of the nucleotide encoding tagatose hexaphosphate synthase is shown in SEQ ID NO.2.

[0010] Furthermore, the starting strain of the microorganism is Escherichia coli, specifically Escherichia coli BL21.

[0011] Furthermore, the method for constructing a microorganism capable of expressing tagatose hexaphosphate synthase is as follows: amplifying the nucleic acid sequence of the nucleotide encoding tagatose hexaphosphate synthase with the first primer pair, preparing a recombinant vector with the amplified product and the vector, and transferring the recombinant vector into the starting bacteria; the base sequences of the first primer pair are shown in SEQ ID NO.3 and SEQ ID NO.4, respectively. Specifically, the vector is a pet41 vector.

[0012] Furthermore, in the preparation of tagatose hexaphosphate by catalyzing fructose hexaphosphate, the product is added to a reaction solution containing fructose hexaphosphate, and the catalytic reaction is carried out at 65 to 70°C.

[0013] Furthermore, the concentration of fructose hexaphosphate in the reaction solution is 40-60 mM.

[0014] Furthermore, the reaction solution contains potassium dihydrogen phosphate and magnesium sulfate. Specifically, the molar ratio of potassium dihydrogen phosphate to magnesium sulfate is 9 to 11:1. Specifically, the concentration of potassium dihydrogen phosphate in the reaction system is 45 to 55 mM. In the present invention, the unit "M" refers to mol / L, and the unit "mM" refers to mmol / L. Specifically, the pH in the reaction system is 6.9 to 7.2.

[0015] Furthermore, in the one-step preparation of tagatose from starch, the product, as well as starch phosphorylase, glucose 6-phosphate isomerase, fructose 6-phosphate isomerase and tagatose 6-phosphate phosphatase are added to a reaction system containing starch, and the system is heated to 65-70° C. to catalyze the reaction for 60-84 hours.

[0016] Furthermore, the reaction solution contains potassium dihydrogen phosphate and magnesium sulfate. Specifically, the molar ratio of potassium dihydrogen phosphate to magnesium sulfate is 9 to 11: 1. Specifically, the concentration of potassium dihydrogen phosphate in the reaction system is 45 to 55 mM.

[0017] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0018] The present invention screens tagatose six-phosphate synthase through the high-temperature hot spring metagenome. The tagatose six-phosphate synthase can continuously and specifically catalyze the production of more tagatose six-phosphate under high temperature conditions of 50 to 70°C, thereby greatly improving the efficiency of preparing tagatose by a one-step starch method. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] Primers P1: aactttaagaaggagatatacatATGAAGGGTTATGATGTGG (as shown in SEQ ID NO.3); P2: agtggtggtggtggtggtggtggtggtgctcgagGCGACAACCATTCACG (as shown in SEQ ID NO.4) were designed to amplify the T6PE-T sequence as a template to obtain the amplified product, and the product was separated, recovered and concentrated by agarose gel electrophoresis. The pet41 vector was digested with NdeI+XhoI, and the product was separated, recovered and concentrated by agarose gel electrophoresis. The digested pet41 vector and the amplified fragment were recombined using a DNA recombination kit, transformed into Escherichia coli DH5a competent cells, and positive clones were cultured and screened for sequencing verification. The positive clones were transformed into Escherichia coli BL21 to construct an engineering strain that can recombinantly express T6PE-T.

[0028] The above recombinant strain was cultured using TB medium and induced to express using IPTG. The induced expression bacteria were collected by centrifugation, and the bacteria were resuspended in PBS buffer containing 20mM imidazole and 0.5M sodium chloride. The bacteria were resuspended in a ratio of 10ml buffer to 1g wet bacteria, ultrasonically broken, and the supernatant was collected by centrifugation. The recombinant protein in the supernatant was adsorbed by a Ni column, and the recombinant protein was eluted with a PBS buffer containing 300mM imidazole and 0.5M sodium chloride. The eluted protein was desalted using a desalting column to obtain T6PE-T.

[0029] T6PE-T was purified using the His tag, and after desalting, its protein content was calibrated using the Coomassie Brilliant Blue G250 method.

[0030] Example 2

[0031] T6PE-T catalyzes the synthesis of tagatose hexaphosphate from fructose hexaphosphate:

[0032] 20 mg of T6PE-T was added to 100 ml of a reaction solution containing 50 mM potassium dihydrogen phosphate (pH 7.2), 5 mM magnesium sulfate and 50 mM fructose hexaphosphate, and the reaction was catalyzed at 70°C for 1 hour to obtain tagatose hexaphosphate with a yield of 8.5 mM and a yield of 17%.

[0037] Example 3

[0038] Catalytic efficiency test of T6PE-T:

[0039] T6PE-T was placed at different temperatures (e.g., 55°C-70°C) and heat-treated for different times (e.g., 1500 minutes-5000 minutes). 20 mg of heat-treated T6PE-T and untreated T6PE-T were added to 100 ml of a reaction solution containing 50 mM potassium dihydrogen phosphate (pH 7.2), 5 mM magnesium sulfate and 50 mM fructose hexaphosphate, respectively, and catalyzed at 70°C for 1 hour. The amount of tagatose hexaphosphate produced was detected by liquid chromatography to determine its catalytic efficiency. The amount produced is shown in Table 1.

[0042] Comparative Example 2

[0043] Detection of the catalytic efficiency of gatZ:

[0044] GatZ was placed at different temperatures (e.g., 55°C-70°C) and heat-treated for different times (e.g., 1500 minutes-5000 minutes). 20 mg of heat-treated gatZ and untreated gatZ were added to 100 ml of a reaction solution containing 50 mM potassium dihydrogen phosphate (pH 7.2), 5 mM magnesium sulfate and 50 mM fructose hexaphosphate, respectively, and catalyzed at 70°C for 1 hour. The amount of tagatose hexaphosphate produced was detected by liquid chromatography to determine its catalytic efficiency. The amount produced is shown in Table 2.

[0045] Table 2 The amount of tagatose hexaphosphate generated by heat-treated gatZ and untreated gatZ

[0046]

[0047] By comparing the catalytic efficiency of Example 3 and Comparative Example 2, the half-lives of different tagatose hexaphosphate synthases under different heat treatments can be known, thereby knowing their thermal stability. The results are shown in Table 3.

[0048] Table 3 Thermal stability of T6PE-T and gatZ

[0049]

[0050]

[0051] Table 3 shows that compared with gatZ, T6PE-T has stronger catalytic stability under high temperature conditions of 55-70°C, and can produce more products through continuous catalysis at high temperature with less enzyme added.

[0052] Example 4

[0053] Detection of T6PE-T and gatZ's affinity for substrates:

[0054] Determination of 1. Km value of fructose hexaphosphate: prepare a catalytic reaction solution of 50 mM potassium dihydrogen phosphate (pH 7.2), 5 mM magnesium sulfate, 20 mg of catalytic enzyme, and fructose hexaphosphate (0.5 mM-100 mM) at 70°C for 1 hour, detect the amount of tagatose hexaphosphate produced by liquid chromatography, and use Linewaver-Burk plotting to measure the Km values ​​of T6PE-T and gatZ for fructose hexaphosphate.

[0055] Determination 2. Fructose-1,6-bisphosphate (fructose-1,6-bisphosphate) Km value: prepare a catalytic reaction solution of 50 mM potassium dihydrogen phosphate (pH 7.2), 5 mM magnesium sulfate, 20 mg of catalytic enzyme, and fructose-1,6-bisphosphate (0.5 mM-100 mM) at 70°C for 1 hour, detect the amount of tagatose-1,6-bisphosphate (tagatose-1,6-bisphosphate) produced by liquid chromatography, and use the Linewaver-Burk plot method to measure the Km values ​​of T6PE-T and gatZ for fructose-1,6-bisphosphate.

[0056] Determination 3. Km value of tagatose 1,6-diphosphate: prepare a catalytic reaction solution of 50 mM potassium dihydrogen phosphate (pH 7.2), 5 mM magnesium sulfate, 20 mg of catalytic enzyme, and tagatose 1,6-diphosphate (0.5 mM-100 mM) at 70°C for 1 hour, detect the amount of fructose 1,6-diphosphate produced by liquid chromatography, and use Linewaver-Burk plotting to measure the Km values ​​of T6PE-T and gatZ for tagatose 1,6-diphosphate.

[0057] Determination 4. Km value of tagatose hexaphosphate: prepare a catalytic reaction solution of 50 mM potassium dihydrogen phosphate (pH 7.2), 5 mM magnesium sulfate, 20 mg of catalytic enzyme, and tagatose hexaphosphate (0.5 mM-100 mM) at 70°C for 1 hour, detect the amount of fructose hexaphosphate generated by liquid chromatography, and use Linewaver-Burk plotting to determine the Km values ​​of T6PE-T and gatZ for tagatose hexaphosphate.

[0058] The test results are shown in Table 4.

[0059] Table 4 Affinity of T6PE-T and gatZ for substrates

[0060] T6PE-T gatZ Fructose 6-phosphate Km value (mmol / L) 1.84 36 Fructose 1,6-diphosphate Km value (mmol / L) 0.51 0.68 Tagatose 1,6-diphosphate Km value (mmol / L) 0.92 1.5 Tagatose hexaphosphate Km value (mmol / L) 189 124

[0061] Table 4 shows that T6PE-T has a lower Km value of fructose 6-phosphate during the catalytic process, so the enzyme can catalyze the formation of tagatose 6-phosphate more specifically and will not catalyze tagatose 6-phosphate to form other substances.

The content of tagatose detected by liquid chromatography is 168 g, and the yield is 56%.

The pet41 vector was digested with NdeI+XhoI, and the product was separated and recovered and concentrated by agarose gel electrophoresis. The digested pet41 vector and the amplified fragment were recombined using a DNA recombination kit, transformed into the competent E. coli DH5a, and positive clones were cultured and screened for sequencing verification. The positive clones were transformed into E. coli BL21 to construct an engineered strain that can recombinantly express T6PP-T.

[0077] The above recombinant strain was cultured using TB medium and induced to express using IPTG. The induced expression bacteria were collected by centrifugation, and the bacteria were resuspended in PBS buffer containing 20mM imidazole and 0.5M sodium chloride. The bacteria were resuspended in a ratio of 10ml buffer to 1g wet bacteria, ultrasonically broken, and the supernatant was collected by centrifugation. The recombinant protein in the supernatant was adsorbed by a Ni column, and the recombinant protein was eluted with a PBS buffer containing 300mM imidazole and 0.5M sodium chloride. The eluted protein was desalted using a desalting column to obtain T6PP-T.

[0078] T6PP-T was purified using the His tag, and after desalting, its protein content was calibrated using the Coomassie Brilliant Blue G250 method.

[0079] Example 7

[0080] T6PP-T catalyzes the dephosphorylation of tagatose hexaphosphate to synthesize tagatose:

[0081] 10 mg of T6PP-T was added to 100 mL of a reaction solution containing 50 mM potassium dihydrogen phosphate (pH 7.2), 5 mM magnesium sulfate and 50 mM tagatose hexaphosphate, and the reaction was catalyzed at 70° C. for 1 hour to obtain tagatose with a yield of 48 mM and a yield of 96%.

[0087] The catalytic reaction solution was prepared with 50 mM potassium dihydrogen phosphate (pH 7.2), 5 mM magnesium sulfate, 1 μmol / L catalytic enzyme, and substrates (tagatose hexaphosphate, fructose hexaphosphate, glucose hexaphosphate, glucose monophosphate, 0.1 mM-100 mM) and catalyzed at 70°C for 1 hour. The amount of dephosphorylation product generated was detected by liquid chromatography, and the Km value of T6PP-T for the substrate was measured by Linewaver-Burk plotting. The results are shown in Table 5.

[0088] Table 5 Affinity of tagatose six phosphate phosphatase (T6PP-T) for different sugar phosphate substrates

[0089]

[0090] Table 5 shows that the tagatose 6-phosphate phosphatase can more efficiently select tagatose 6-phosphate as a substrate for dephosphorylation at 70°C, while fructose 6-phosphate, glucose 6-phosphate and glucose monophosphate in the same system cannot be dephosphorylated in this case. Therefore, the use of the tagatose 6-phosphate phosphatase in the reaction can further improve the conversion rate of tagatose catalysis and greatly reduce the yield of byproducts (glucose and fructose).
