Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a hydrolase, in particular to a bile salt hydrolase and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] The information provided in this section is for the purpose of generally presenting the background of the present disclosure. To the extent described in this section, the work of the presently named inventors and aspects of the description that may not constitute prior art at the time of filing are neither explicitly nor implicitly admitted to be prior art to the present disclosure.

[0003] Bile salt hydrolase (EC 3.5.1.24, BSH), belongs to the N-terminal nucleophilic hydrolase family, and is an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of glycine / taurine-bound bile acids into unbound bile acids and amino acid residues. Current studies have shown that BSH is mainly distributed in the intestinal flora, and the intestines and feces of humans and mammals are the main sources of BSH-producing strains. Bile salt hydrolases have been detected or purified in many microorganisms, such as Clostridium, Bacteroides, Lactobacillus, Listeria, Enterococcus, Bifidobacterium, etc. The enzymatic activity and substrate selectivity of bile salt hydrolases from different sources are significantly different, and different strains also have different types and quantities of bile salt hydrolases.

[0004] Bile salts, as a defense mechanism of the gastrointestinal tract, are toxic to intestinal microorganisms. The free bile salts released by bile salt hydrolases are less toxic, thereby reducing the inhibitory ability of bile on bile salt hydrolase-producing probiotics and enhancing the ability of strains to colonize in the intestine. In addition, bile salt hydrolases can increase the tension of bacterial cell membranes and change the fluidity and permeability of membranes, thereby providing potential protection for cell membranes. BSH produces free bile acids by hydrolyzing bound bile acids. Free bile acids can precipitate together with cholesterol, dynamically regulate bile acid metabolism, and reduce cholesterol levels in the body, which is of great significance for maintaining host health.

[0005] At present, the research on bile salt hydrolase mainly involves directly screening bile salt hydrolase-producing strains from environmental samples, extracting single strain genomic DNA, and designing primers to clone bile salt hydrolase genes. However, most microorganisms in the environment are uncultivable, so the screening of new BSHs by traditional isolation and culture methods greatly limits the extensiveness, effectiveness, and safety of the screening. Metagenomics avoids the problem of microbial isolation and culture, and directly sequences all microorganisms in environmental samples, greatly expanding the utilization space of microbial resources. There are tens of thousands of microorganisms in the gastrointestinal tract of animals, and many of them are closely related to diseases. Therefore, the animal gastrointestinal metagenome provides a new research strategy for finding and discovering new functional genes and new targets for cholesterol-lowering drugs—bile salt hydrolase.

The kinetic parameters were determined and K was calculated according to the Lineweaver-Burk method. m and V max value.

[0080] It was determined that under the optimal conditions, the K m and V max They were 243.3±35.38mM and 29.19±2.264μmol / L / min respectively.

[0081] 4) Determination of the effects of different metal ions and chemical reagents on the activity of bile salt hydrolase NCbsh3

[0082] Metal ions (final concentration of 5 mM) and chemical reagents (final concentration of 1%) were added to the enzyme reaction system to study their effects on enzyme activity. Enzyme activity was measured under the optimum conditions of pH 5.0 and 40°C (the enzyme reaction without metal ions and chemical reagents was used as a control under the same conditions).
