Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of bioengineering, and specifically relates to a method for efficiently preparing L-xylulose based on a two-step enzymatic method to control configuration inversion and an application thereof. Background Art

[0002] L-xylulose (CAS: 527-50-4), also known as L-(+) threo-ketopentose, has important applications in the fields of food, chemical industry and medicine. For example, in the field of medicine, L-xylulose is not only used as the main component of hypoglycemic drugs for the treatment of diabetes, but also an important synthetic precursor of antiviral drugs L-nucleosides. In addition, its isomerized products L-xylose and L-ribose can also be used in the production of anticancer drugs. However, sugars in nature are basically D-type, and L-type monosaccharides are very rare, which makes it particularly difficult to obtain L-xylulose through natural extraction. At present, the synthesis of L-xylulose mainly adopts chemical synthesis, but chemical synthesis has problems such as lengthy steps, high energy consumption, and isomer pollution, resulting in a low final yield of L-xylulose, which is in short supply on the market and is also quite expensive.

[0003] Through enzyme-mediated directional catalysis, D-type sugars with a wide range of natural sources are converted into L-configuration xylulose. This process can not only take advantage of the strong specificity and high stereoselectivity of the enzyme to control the precise conversion between configurations to synthesize L-xylulose in a directional and efficient manner, but also conform to the current concept of green synthesis development, and become a popular method for producing chiral drugs and intermediates. D-xylulose, as an enantiomer of L-xylulose, is widely present in the pentose phosphate pathway of prokaryotes, eukaryotes and other microorganisms, and is generally converted after glucose phosphorylation. However, there is no report on how to accurately regulate the isomerization of D-xylulose to L-xylulose. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a method for directional catalysis of D-xylulose to L-xylulose for the specific and efficient synthesis of L-xylulose. Summary of the invention

[0004] In view of some deficiencies in the prior art, the present invention provides a method for efficiently preparing L-xylulose by controlling configuration inversion based on a two-step enzymatic method and its application; the present invention determines two key enzymes 2-PsXDH and 4-PaXDH that can mediate the directional conversion of D-xylulose to L-xylulose through in vitro screening and catalytic verification, and constructs a system for efficiently preparing L-xylulose by controlling configuration inversion based on a two-step enzymatic method, and then uses the system to construct a method for efficiently preparing L-xylulose by controlling configuration inversion based on a two-step enzymatic method, the method can synthesize L-xylulose by directional regulation of configuration conversion, can effectively overcome the problems of isomer contamination in chemical synthesis, greatly facilitates the subsequent separation and purification of the product, and has good industrial application potential; the preparation method of L-xylulose according to the present invention is simple, can be used to catalyze the conversion of D-xylulose to L-xylulose in vitro or in vivo, and has good practicality.

[0053] Example 2: Construction of recombinant expression plasmid pET-paxdh4

[0054] (1) Based on the restriction sites on plasmid pET30a and the sequence of the xylitol-4-dehydrogenase gene (paxdh4) from Pantoea ananatis, primers PaX-F1 / PaX-R1 were designed using Oligo 7.0 software to amplify the paxdh4 gene.

[0061] Example 3: Construction of Genetically Engineered Bacteria Expressing Xylitol-2-Dehydrogenase 2-PsXDH and Xylitol-4-Dehydrogenase 4-PaXDH

[0062] (1) The host E. coli DH5α containing the recombinant expression plasmid pET-psxdh2 obtained in Example 1 was activated and cultured, and the constructed recombinant expression plasmids pET-psxdh2 and pET-paxdh4 were extracted. The extracted plasmids were run on agarose gel for preliminary size verification and then sent to Shanghai Sangon Biotechnology for sequencing. The correct recombinant expression plasmids pET-psxdh2 and pET-paxdh4 were transformed into competent E. coli BL21 (DE3) by heat shock method, and then antibiotic plates were coated to select positive transformants.

[0063] (2) The selected transformants were first verified by bacterial liquid PCR of the target gene, and the nucleotide sequence of the primers used for verification was Yxdh-F1 / Yxdh-R1. The plasmids of the transformants that were correct after bacterial liquid PCR verification were further extracted and sent for sequencing. The transformants whose sequencing results were still correct were determined to be the finally constructed genetically engineered bacteria expressing xylitol-2-dehydrogenase 2-PsXDH, and were recorded as E. coli BL21-2-PsXDH.

[0064] Yxdh-F1: TAATACGACTCACTATAGGG (SEQ ID No: 9);

[0065] Yxdh-R1: GCTAGTTATTGCTCAGCGG (SEQ ID No: 10).

[0066] (3) Similarly, according to the methods described in steps (1) and (2), a genetically engineered bacterium expressing xylitol-4-dehydrogenase 4-PaXDH was constructed and recorded as E. coli BL21-4-PaXDH.

[0067] Example 4: 2-PsXDH, 4-PaXDH protein induction expression and in vitro catalysis

[0068] In this example, the expression of E. coli BL21-2-PsXDH and E. coli BL21-4-PaXDH obtained in Example 3 was induced respectively, and the pure enzymes 2-PsXDH and 4-PaXDH were extracted. The pure enzymes 2-PsXDH and 4-PaXDH were used to form a system for efficiently preparing L-xylulose based on a two-step enzymatic method to control the configuration inversion, so as to investigate the in vitro catalysis of D-xylulose to produce xylitol by the system. The specific steps are as follows.

[0069] (1) Activate E. coli BL21-2-PsXDH and E. coli BL21-4-PaXDH and wait until OD 600When the concentration reaches 0.6-0.8, 1mmol / L IPTG is added to the cultured bacterial solution to induce protein expression. The induction temperature is 20-26°C, the induction time is 8-12h, and the rotation speed is 160rpm.

[0070] (2) Collect the induced bacteria, wash them twice with phosphate buffer (pH 7.0), resuspend them in 10-15 mL of buffer, and then perform cell ultrasonic disruption on ice to dissolve the expressed protein. After stopping the disruption, centrifuge at low temperature to collect the supernatant, which is the crude enzyme solution.

[0071] (3) The crude enzyme solution is further treated with Ni 2+ Column purification, specifically: the crude enzyme solution passes through a 0.45 μm filter membrane and slowly flows through the Ni 2+ Column, so that the target protein is attached to Ni as much as possible 2+ The impurities were then eluted with 50 mM imidazole, and then the target protein was eluted with 500 mM imidazole. The target protein was collected in an EP tube, and the concentration was measured with a BCA protein concentration determination kit. SDS-PAGE was further run to detect the protein size and purification effect. The results are as follows Figure 3 shown.

[0072] from Figure 3 It can be seen that 2-PsXDH and 4-PaXDH were successfully expressed, and their sizes were consistent with the theoretical values.

[0073] (4) Using the 2-PsXDH and 4-PaXDH proteins obtained in step (3) for in vitro catalysis, the specific steps are as follows:

[0074] In vitro catalysis of S1.2-PsXDH:

[0075] 10-20 μL of pure enzyme 2-PsXDH was added to 1 mL of reaction system, and the reaction was carried out at 30°C and 120 rpm for 12 hours. After centrifugation, the supernatant was collected and the catalytic conversion of D-xylulose to xylitol by 2-PsXDH was determined by high performance liquid chromatography. The specific composition of the reaction system is: 5 mmol / L NADH, 10 mmol / L D-xylulose, 25 mmol / L Tris-HCl buffer (pH 5.0).

[0076] The specific detection conditions are: RID detector, Hi-Plex Ca 7.7x 300mm chromatographic column, column temperature 65℃, detector temperature 40℃, pure water as mobile phase, flow rate 0.6mL / min, and the content of each component is calculated based on the peak area. The results are as follows: Figure 4 shown.

[0077] from Figure 4It can be seen that no xylitol was produced in the blank control without enzyme, while the experimental group with pure enzyme 2-PsXDH successfully catalyzed D-xylulose to produce xylitol.

[0078] In vitro catalysis of S2.4-PaXDH:

[0079] Take 10-20 μL of pure enzyme 4-PaXDH and add it to 1 mL of reaction system. React at 30°C and 120 rpm for 8-12 hours. After centrifugation, take the supernatant to determine the conversion of xylitol to L-xylulose catalyzed by 4-PaXDH. The results are as follows: Figure 4 As shown. The specific composition of the reaction system is: 5mmol / L NAD + , 30mmol / L xylitol, 50mmol / L Gly-NaOH buffer (pH 10).

[0080] from Figure 4 It can be seen that the blank control did not detect the production of L-xylulose because the enzyme 4-PaXDH was not added, while the experimental group with pure enzyme 4-PaXDH successfully detected L-xylulose.

[0081] In this example, the specific rotation of the product catalyzed by 4-PaXDH was measured by a polarimeter. The result showed that the specific rotation value of the product was +29.57°, while the specific rotations of the corresponding standard substances D-xylulose and L-xylulose in the literature were -29.40° and +26.50°, respectively, thus proving that the final product catalyzed by 4-PaXDH was L-xylulose.

[0082] Example 5: Engineering bacteria E. coli BL21-2-PsXDH and E. coli BL21-4-PaXDH jointly catalyze the conversion of D-xylulose into L-xylulose

[0083] In this example, E. coli BL21-2-PsXDH whole cells and E. coli BL21-4-PaXDH whole cells were prepared according to E. coli BL21-2-PsXDH and E. coli BL21-4-PaXDH obtained in Example 3, and the ability of E. coli BL21-2-PsXDH whole cells and E. coli BL21-4-PaXDH whole cells to jointly catalyze the conversion of D-xylulose into L-xylulose was investigated. The specific steps are as follows:

[0084] E. coli BL21-2-PsXDH and E. coli BL21-4-PaXDH were activated and cultured respectively, and the cells were collected by centrifugation and washed twice with phosphate buffer (pH 7.0). Then, different bacterial cell ratios of 1:1, 1:2, and 2:1 between E. coli BL21-2-PsXDH and E. coli BL21-4-PaXDH were added to the reaction system respectively, and reacted at 30°C and 180rpm for 24-36h. The supernatant was then collected by centrifugation and combined with high performance liquid chromatography analysis and specific rotation determination to determine the production of the product L-xylulose. The results are shown in FIG. Figure 5 As shown. Among them, the reaction system composition is: 5mmol / L NAD + , 5mmol / L NADH, 10mmol / L D-xylulose, 25mmol / L phosphate buffer (pH 7.0).

[0085] from Figure 5 The mass spectrometry results show that after the whole cells of E. coli BL21-2-PsXDH and E. coli BL21-4-PaXDH were added in a ratio of 2:1, a higher molecular ion peak m / z = 173.0417 corresponding to xylulose can be detected in the primary mass spectrum, and the standard value is [M+Na] + (m / z=173.0420). The optical rotation of the reaction product was further measured by a polarimeter and it was found that the optical rotation value of the reaction product was +0.25°, which was consistent with the specific rotation value of the corresponding standard L-xylulose in the literature (+). This shows that at this time, not only L-xylulose was produced in the reaction product, but also L-xylulose was the main one, and D-xylulose was mostly converted into L-xylulose.

[0086] In summary, the present invention has determined two key enzymes 2-PsXDH and 4-PaXDH that can mediate the directional conversion of D-xylulose to L-xylulose through in vitro screening and catalytic verification, and has constructed a system for controlling configuration inversion and efficiently preparing L-xylulose based on a two-step enzymatic method; the system can synthesize L-xylulose by directional regulation of configuration conversion, can effectively overcome the problems of isomer contamination in chemical synthesis, greatly facilitates the subsequent separation and purification of the product, and has good industrial application potential; the preparation method of L-xylulose according to the present invention is simple, can be used for in vivo or in vitro catalysis of D-xylulose conversion to L-xylulose, and has good practicality.
