Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the fields of biopharmaceuticals and biotransformation, and particularly relates to a lipase mutant and its application. Background Art

[0002] Lipase has good catalytic ability for reactions such as hydrolysis, transesterification, esterification, and transesterification, and is widely used in industries such as food, chemical engineering, medicine, and bioenergy. Lipases derived from microorganisms have become the main source of lipases in industrial applications. Candida antarctica lipase B (CALB) is derived from Candida antarctica. Due to its excellent catalytic activities such as ester synthesis, hydrolysis, and transesterification, CALB is widely used in fields such as food, medicine, and chemical engineering.

[0003] (S)-3-Cyclohexene-1-carboxylic acid, as a chiral compound, is an important chemical reagent or pharmaceutical intermediate and is widely used in multiple fields such as medicine and chemical engineering. (S)-3-Cyclohexene-1-carboxylic acid can be used to produce (S)-3,4-diaminocyclohexanecarboxylic acid, which is a key chiral building block of the coagulation factor Xa (fXa) inhibitor edoxaban (trade name: Savaysa). This drug is used to treat cancer-related venous thromboembolism. Compared with the same type of coagulation factor Xa inhibitor drugs such as rivaroxaban and apixaban, it has outstanding advantages such as a small renal burden, a small bleeding risk, and safety and reliability, and has a broad market prospect. And (S)-3-Cyclohexene-1-carboxylic acid, as the key intermediate of this drug, its efficient preparation technology has become a research hotspot.

[0004] Currently, there are mainly three methods for the synthesis of chiral 3-cyclohexene-1-carboxylic acid: the Diels-Alder reaction, the chemical method of racemic acid resolution, and the enzymatic method of asymmetric hydrolysis resolution of methyl 3-cyclohexene-1-carboxylate. Among them, the Diels-Alder reaction is the main method for the synthesis of chiral 3-cyclohexene-1-carboxylic acid at present. However, in this reaction, butadiene is a gas and the product is not easy to separate, the reaction steps are numerous, and the final yield is low. This method still needs to be further improved. The separation of the chemical method of racemic acid resolution requires at least six recrystallization processes in acetone. This chemical resolution method not only consumes a large amount of acetone, but also the resolution yield is only between 20-30%, and the economic performance is low. It can be seen that the synthesis of chiral 3-cyclohexene-1-carboxylic acid by the chemical method has problems such as numerous operation steps, low yield, and consumption of a large amount of acetone. The use of biocatalysts to catalyze the resolution of chiral compounds has the advantages of mild reaction conditions, high stereoselectivity, low pollution, and simple operation, which makes it an important way to replace or supplement traditional chemical synthesis routes in the process of promoting sustainable development.

[0005] In 2004, Cihangir T et al. studied three enzymes: porcine liver esterase (PLE), horse liver esterase (HLE), and porcine pancreatic lipase (PPL), which have the function of hydrolyzing racemic methyl 3-cyclohexene-1-carboxylate. The results showed that the hydrolysis products of PLE and HLE were both (S)-3-cyclohexene-1-carboxylic acid, and the ee values exceeded 99% and reached 97% respectively; while the hydrolysis product of PPL was (R)-3-cyclohexene-1-carboxylic acid, with an ee value of 91%. However, all three of these enzymes are from animals and face multiple challenges in practical applications as commercial enzymes, including: high costs, interference from isoenzymes, significant differences between batches, and potential risks of virus contamination.

[0006] In 2019, Dou Zhe et al. used methyl 3-cyclohexene-1-carboxylate as a substrate to screen wild strains and successfully discovered a strain named Acinetobacter sp. JNU9335, which could selectively catalyze the hydrolysis of the substrate, leaving behind (S)-methyl 3-cyclohexene-1-carboxylate. Through further hydrolysis under alkaline conditions, the target product (S)-3-cyclohexene-1-carboxylic acid was obtained. In a 50 mL reaction, 3.50 g of racemic methyl 3-cyclohexene-1-carboxylate was added and reacted for 12 h, and finally the target product with a yield of 40% and an e.e. value as high as 99% was obtained. In 2020, Dou Zhe et al. successfully obtained cyclohexene formate hydrolase AcEst1 and its mutants. Using the crude enzyme powder of the mutant F78V / A202K / G326A with enhanced activity, 58.7 g of racemic methyl 3-cyclohexene-1-carboxylate could be catalyzed, leaving behind (S)-methyl 3-cyclohexene-1-carboxylate. Through alkaline hydrolysis treatment, 22.3 g of (S)-3-cyclohexene-1-carboxylic acid was obtained, with a yield of 38%, and the gas chromatography (GC) purity of the product was 99%, and the optical purity was as high as 99.5% e.e. Then in 2021, Dou Zhe et al. also disclosed a novel carboxylesterase CarEst3 and its mutants, which have excellent catalytic ability and can process up to 500 g / L of racemic methyl 3-cyclohexene-1-carboxylate, and finally the total yield of (S)-3-cyclohexene-1-carboxylic acid obtained was 37%, and the optical purity was 99% e.e.

[0007] Compared with the traditional chemical synthesis method, the method for preparing (S)-3-cyclohexene-1-carboxylic acid by biocatalytic enzyme has the advantages of mild reaction conditions, high enantioselectivity, environmental friendliness and simple operation. However, at present, the preparation method of (S)-3-cyclohexene-1-carboxylic acid is limited to the laboratory scale, and there are also defects such as low enzyme selectivity resulting in low product yield, which is not suitable for industrial production, and there is a lack of reports on the catalytic synthesis of (S)-3-cyclohexene-1-carboxylic acid by lipase CALB. Therefore, it is necessary to screen mutants of lipase CALB with high catalytic efficiency and enantioselective complementarity to meet the demand for industrial production of (S)-3-cyclohexene-1-carboxylic acid. Summary of the Invention

First, the coding gene of the wild-type Candida antarctica lipase B (whose sequence is shown in SEQ ID NO.2) is ligated to the expression vector pET28b(+) plasmid to construct a recombinant expression plasmid. Then, the successfully constructed recombinant expression plasmid is transformed into E. coli BL21(DE3). Using the recombinant expression plasmid containing the lipase CALB coding gene as a template, gene modification is carried out by site-directed mutagenesis technology, and then the successfully constructed recombinant plasmid is transformed into E. coli BL21(DE3) to obtain a recombinant genetically engineered bacterium containing the coding gene of the recombinant lipase CALB mutant. The obtained recombinant genetically engineered bacterium is fermented and cultured, induced to express, and the fermentation broth is centrifuged to obtain wet cell bodies containing the recombinant lipase CALB mutant. The wet cell bodies are resuspended in phosphate buffer solution, and under ice bath conditions, ultrasonic disruption is carried out, and the supernatant is collected by low-temperature centrifugation to finally obtain a crude enzyme solution of the lipase CALB mutant. The stereoselectivity of the mutant lipase CALB is compared with that of the wild-type lipase CALB to screen mutants with excellent resolution performance.

The selectivity and conversion rate of lipase CALB with combined-site mutations (D134S / A281Q) are better than those of the wild type, and the highest conversion rate can reach 52%, e.e. Figures 2 - 5 p ​The value can reach up to 72%, indicating that by designing mutations at multiple different sites of amino acids, the present invention can significantly improve the activity and selectivity of lipase CALB.

[0068] In summary, the present invention creatively discovers that by designing mutations at multiple different sites of amino acids, the activity and stereoselectivity of lipase CALB in catalyzing racemic methyl 3-cyclohexene-1-carboxylate can be improved, which is more conducive to the production of (S)-3-cyclohexene-1-carboxylic acid, reduces production costs, is environmentally friendly, is conducive to large-scale production through microbial fermentation, and is more suitable for commercial and industrial applications.

[0069] The above description only details the preferred embodiments and principles of the present invention. For those of ordinary skill in the art, based on the idea provided by the present invention, there will be changes in the specific implementation manners, and these changes should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
