Description

Technical Field

[0002] Indigo, as an ancient and important industrial pigment, has a wide range of applications in textiles, food, cosmetics, medicine and other fields. The production of indigo mainly relies on the conversion of indole glycosides extracted from plants such as Indigofera odorifera through enzymatic catalysis or chemical oxidation. However, traditional extraction and conversion methods are inefficient and cannot meet the demand for indigo production in modern industry. Therefore, research and development of efficient indigo production methods have become a hot topic and difficulty at present.

[0003] Indigofera serrata, as a plant rich in glycoside compounds such as indole glycosides, is an important raw material for indigo production. Indole glycosides can be converted into indigo under the catalysis of specific enzymes. Therefore, the research and development of efficient hydrolases for indigofera serrata glycosides is of great significance for improving the yield and efficiency of indigo.

[0041] Embodiment 2:

[0042] (1) Based on the gene sequence, primers 28a-ScBGLUF and 28a-ScBGLUR were designed with EcoRI and HindⅢ restriction sites, respectively, and PCR was performed using the correctly sequenced Bluntzero-ScBGLU as a template.

[0044] 5'-GTCGCGGATCCGAATTCATGGCGATGACCACGAGC-3'(SEQ ID No.5)

[0045] Primer 28a-ScBGLUR:

[0046] 5'-CTCGAGTGCGGCCGCAAGCTTTCATGTTGCTCTTGATCTTTTCCC-3' (SEQ ID No. 6).

[0047] The reaction conditions for PCR amplification were as follows: pre-denaturation at 95°C for 5 min; 34 cycles of 94°C for 30 sec, 68°C for 30 sec, and 72°C for 40 sec; and finally extension at 72°C for 10 min.

[0048] (2) The expression vector pET-28a(+) was double-digested with restriction endonucleases EcoRI and HindⅢ.

[0049] (3) The PCR amplification products and double enzyme digestion products were subjected to agarose gel electrophoresis, and then the two target bands were recovered from the gel.

[0050] (4) The two target bands recovered in the above step were connected and transformed into E. coli DH5α competent cells, and positive transformants were screened on LB plates containing kanamycin. After selective cultivation, the recombinant plasmid pET-28a(+)-ScBGLU was extracted and then sequenced.

[0051] Example 3: Protein expression and purification of glycoside hydrolase ScBGLU gene

[0052] (1) The correctly sequenced recombinant plasmid pET-28a(+)-ScBGLU was introduced into E. coli Rosetta (DE3) competent cells to obtain recombinant bacteria.

[0053] (2) Select a single clone of the recombinant bacteria and inoculate it into 1 mL LB medium containing 100 μg / mL kanamycin and culture it in a shaking incubator at 37°C and 200 rpm for about three hours and observe the OD 600 In the range of 0.6-0.8, transfer the bacterial solution to 100 mL LB medium containing 100 μg / mL kanamycin and continue to culture in a shaking incubator at 28°C and 180 rpm until the OD 600 In the range of 0.6-0.8.

[0054] (3) IPTG (inducer) was then added for induction, and the cells were cultured at 25°C and 180 rpm with shaking for 20 h.

[0055] (4) Collect the bacterial solution, centrifuge at 8000 rpm at 4°C for 10 min, remove the supernatant, and collect the precipitate.

[0056] (5) Take 2 mL of the bacterial solution and add the precipitate into a 2 mL centrifuge tube. Add 1 mL of pH 7.0 HEPES buffer to the bacterial precipitate and resuspend the bacteria.

[0057] (6) Ultrasonic lysis of bacteria in an ice bath.

[0058] (7) Centrifuge at 4°C, 6000 rpm / min for 10 min, collect the supernatant of the bacterial lysate, and place on ice.

[0059] (8) The collected supernatant was purified by HIS-TAG column recombinant protein. The purified recombinant protein solution was subjected to SDS-PAGE, and a 65.3 kDa protein band was obtained (the result is shown in Figure 1 shown).

[0060] Example 4: Identification of ScBGLU glycoside hydrolase gene activity

[0061] The international unit of β-glucosidase activity is defined as the amount of enzyme required to release 1 μmol of p-nitrophenol (pNP) per minute using p-nitrophenol-β-D-glucoside (pNPG) as a substrate under certain conditions.

[0062] Under certain conditions, glycoside hydrolase can hydrolyze the glycosidic bonds in pNPG to generate pNP. pNP appears yellow in alkaline solution and has an obvious absorption peak at a wavelength of 410 nm. Therefore, the absorbance at 410 nm was determined by spectrophotometry, and a standard curve was drawn for the concentration of the p-nitrophenol standard solution. The activity of glycoside hydrolase was then calculated based on the standard curve.

[0063] Example 5: Determination of the Optimal Reaction Temperature of Glycoside Hydrolase ScBGLU

[0064] When p-nitrophenol-β-D-glucoside (pNPG) is used as substrate, the reaction is carried out at a temperature of 25-65°C, and the enzyme activity is calculated by the amount of p-nitrophenol released. 3 μL of glycoside hydrolase ScBGLU is added to 300 μL of pH 8.0 solution containing 0.25 mM pNPG, reacted at 55°C for 30 minutes, and 1 mL of DMSO was added to terminate the reaction. Enzyme activity is defined as the amount of enzyme that generates 1 μmol pNP per minute at 55°C.

[0065] The protein content was determined by Coomassie Brilliant Blue method, and the protein concentration was 7 g / L.

[0066] The enzyme reaction rate of ScBGLU was measured at reaction temperatures of 25°C, 30°C, 35°C, 40°C, 45°C, 50°C, 55°C, 60°C, and 65°C. The results were averaged from 3 replicates.

[0067] The results are as follows Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the highest enzyme activity was 12.3 U / μmol when the reaction temperature was 55°C. The highest enzyme reaction rate was taken as 100%, and the remaining enzyme activities were calculated as Figure 2 .

[0068] Example 6: Determination of the Optimal pH of Glycoside Hydrolase ScBGLU

[0069] With p-nitrophenol-β-D-glucoside (pNPG) as substrate, glycoside hydrolase ScBGLU was placed at different pH values ​​(pH=3.0-10.0) to react to determine the optimal pH value. The buffers used were: when pH=3.0-7.0, the buffer was citric acid-phosphate buffer, and when pH=8.0-10.0, the buffer was glycine-sodium hydroxide buffer.

[0070] The protein content was determined by referring to the Coomassie Brilliant Blue method, and the protein concentration was 8 g / L;

[0071] The enzyme activity was 11.3 U / μmol at pH 8.0. The highest enzyme reaction rate was taken as 100%, and the reactions at other pH values ​​were divided by the highest reaction rate to obtain the corresponding relative reaction rates. Figure 3 shown.

[0072] Example 7: Substrate selectivity of glycoside hydrolase ScBGLU

[0073]

[0074] This example shows that the glycoside hydrolase ScBGLU can recognize β-glycosidic bonds and can recognize a variety of different glycosides, including galactoside, glucoside, etc., but cannot recognize α-glycosidic bonds, indicating that the glycoside hydrolase ScBGLU is selective for substrates.

[0075] Example 8: Glycoside hydrolase ScBGLU catalyzes the production of indole glycoside indican

[0076] According to the optimal reaction temperature of 55°C, the optimal pH value of 8.0, and the glycine-sodium hydroxide buffer solution in the above embodiment, as the reaction conditions of this embodiment, the indole glycoside indican is used as the substrate to carry out the reaction. The final reaction solution changes from colorless and transparent to blue, proving that indigo is generated therein. The results and reaction principle are shown in FIG. Figure 4 .
