Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of biotechnology, and particularly relates to a shikimate dehydrogenase mutant from Escherichia coli and a method for producing shikimic acid. Background Art

[0002] Shikimic acid (SA), chemical name (3R,4S,5R)-3,4,5-trihydroxy-1-cyclohexene-1-carboxylic acid, has a structural feature of containing a six-carbon ring alcohol, three chiral carbons and a carboxylic acid functional group, chemical formula C7H 10 O5,. Shikimic acid is easily soluble in water, with a solubility of 180g / L, and is difficult to dissolve in chloroform, benzene and petroleum ether. The melting point is 185℃~191℃, and the absorption peak is around 210nm. The optical rotation is -180°, and the smell is pungent and sour.

[0003] Shikimic acid is a natural organic compound with important medical and chemical applications. It is best known as a key precursor of the anti-influenza drug Tamiflu (oseltamivir). In the pharmaceutical industry, the extraction, synthesis and application of shikimic acid and its related derivatives have attracted much attention. The traditional star anise extraction and preparation method has no cost advantage. 3-dehydroshikimate dehydrogenase (3-dehydroshikimate dehydrogenase) is one of the key enzymes in the shikimic acid synthesis pathway. It catalyzes the reduction of 3-dehydroshikimate (DHS) to shikimic acid. This reaction is an indispensable step in the shikimic acid pathway and the core link in the biosynthesis of shikimic acid. Shikimic acid dehydrogenase is one of the key enzymes in the shikimic acid biosynthesis pathway. Shikimic acid dehydrogenase uses reduced coenzyme II (NADPH) to catalyze 3-dehydroshikimic acid (DHS) to generate shikimic acid.

[0004] 3-Dehydroshikimic acid has a crucial impact on the quality of the fermentation liquid in the production of shikimic acid by microbial engineering bacteria. As the target shikimic acid accumulates in the engineering bacteria, its miscellaneous acids quinic acid and dehydroshikimic acid also accumulate accordingly, thus greatly reducing the crystallization efficiency, purity and quality of shikimic acid. It can be seen that reducing the content of the byproduct 3-dehydroshikimic acid in the fermentation product is an urgent problem to be solved for the large-scale production of shikimic acid by microbial fermentation.

[0005] The reaction temperature and pH have a great influence on shikimate dehydrogenase when it catalyzes the dehydrogenation of shikimate. At a suitable acidic pH, shikimate dehydrogenase performs a reduction reaction, and at an alkaline pH, shikimate dehydrogenase performs an oxidation reaction. At different temperatures, the enzyme activity also varies greatly.

[0006] In summary, we hope to find a more ideal shikimate dehydrogenase, which has a higher activity in catalyzing the reduction of 3-dehydroshikimic acid to shikimic acid and a lower activity in catalyzing the reverse conversion of shikimic acid to 3-dehydroshikimic acid under certain temperature and pH conditions.

By mutating important amino acid sites in the wild-type shikimic acid dehydrogenase AroE of Escherichia coli, the surface potential of the shikimic acid dehydrogenase is changed, thereby changing the optimal reaction temperature and pH of the shikimic acid dehydrogenase, thereby increasing the reduction reaction of shikimic acid from 3-dehydroshikimic acid and reducing the content of the byproduct 3-dehydroshikimic acid. By overexpressing the shikimic acid dehydrogenase mutant in the host Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3), the reaction of shikimic acid dehydrogenase catalyzing the reduction of 3-dehydroshikimic acid to shikimic acid can be strengthened, so that the content of the byproduct 3-dehydroshikimic acid in the shikimic acid fermentation liquid is significantly reduced, and the production cost of industrialization is greatly saved.

[0082] It can be seen that compared with the unreacted supernatant of the fermentation broth of E. coli HYY1458, the content of shikimic acid in reaction system 1 and reaction system 2 increased significantly, and the content of 3-dehydroshikimic acid decreased significantly. 改造The removal effect of 3-dehydroshikimic acid in the supernatant of the fermentation broth of Escherichia coli HYY1458 is much better than that of protein AroE.
