Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a coenzyme regeneration system and a preparation method and application thereof, belonging to the field of biotechnology. Background Art

[0002] Oxidoreductase catalytic reactions have been widely used in fields such as chiral synthesis, pharmaceuticals, food additives, flavoring agents, pesticides, and environmental pollutant degradation. Many oxidoreductases are coenzyme-dependent enzymes. Adding exogenous coenzymes during biotransformation will increase production costs, and the lack of coenzymes will directly affect the catalytic efficiency of the enzyme. The coenzyme regeneration system is to regenerate the coenzyme from the oxidized state to the reduced state, or vice versa, so that the coenzyme is maintained at a certain level. In recent years, the coenzyme regeneration methods established include chemical, photochemical, enzymatic and electrochemical regeneration systems, among which the enzymatic regeneration system has received widespread attention.

[0003] The regeneration enzymes used for enzymatic regeneration of reduced coenzymes include formate dehydrogenase (FDH), glucose dehydrogenase (GDH), alcohol dehydrogenase and hydrogenase, etc. Enzymatic regeneration of oxidized coenzymes commonly used enzymes include lactate dehydrogenase, glutamate dehydrogenase, NADH oxidase, etc. Enzyme coupling method coenzyme regeneration uses two parallel redox reaction enzyme systems to achieve the recycling of coenzymes. Therefore, the enzyme coupling method coenzyme regeneration system usually contains only two enzymes, which is a coenzyme regeneration system composed of two enzymes. However, the construction process of the two-enzyme system is complicated, and the stability of the enzyme affects the coenzyme regeneration efficiency.

[0004] Chromium is a chemical element widely present in nature and industry. In many industrial production processes, it is often released into the surrounding environment in the form of hexavalent chromium. Hexavalent chromium is a hydrophilic heavy metal. When it enters the soil, it will cause soil ecosystem imbalance and affect plant growth. At the same time, the discharge of hexavalent chromium wastewater into rivers or lakes will affect the health of aquatic organisms and the ecological balance of the entire food chain. Chromium reductase can use the coenzyme NADH or NADPH to reduce the more toxic hexavalent chromium to less toxic trivalent chromium. In addition, wastewater from chemical companies, plastics industry, synthetic fiber industry and pharmaceutical industry contains high concentrations of aldehyde compounds, and aldehyde dehydrogenase can use the coenzyme NAD + or NADP + Oxidation of aldehydes to the corresponding acids.

[0005] The reduction of hexavalent chromium requires the participation of NADH or NADPH, while the oxidation of aldehydes requires the coenzyme NAD + or NADP +However, these coenzymes are often expensive, have poor stability, and are difficult to reuse, resulting in high reaction costs in the process of water environment remediation, thus limiting the application of these enzymes in the process of environmental remediation. Therefore, in order to improve the efficiency and cost of environmental pollutant remediation, it is necessary to explore new, environmentally friendly, low-cost, and simple-to-operate coenzyme regeneration systems that play a role in the process of environmental remediation.

[0057] Example 4: Construction of a coenzyme regeneration system with purified chromium reductase and aldehyde dehydrogenase

[0058] Chromium reductase needs to add coenzyme NADH when reducing hexavalent chromium, but adding coenzyme NADH will increase the cost of reduction. + Therefore, by adding NAD + Coenzyme, aldehyde and hexavalent chromium are used to construct a dual enzyme coenzyme regeneration system of chromium reductase and aldehyde dehydrogenase.

[0059] 0.5 mg / mL chromium reductase and 0.5 mg / mL aldehyde dehydrogenase were added to phosphate buffer at pH 7.0, with 0.1 mM hexavalent chromium and 0.5 mM glutaraldehyde as substrates and 1 mM NAD + Coenzyme, 0.001mM calcium ion (added in the form of calcium chloride, i.e., 0.001mM calcium chloride) was added at the same time, and the reaction was carried out at 75° C. As the reaction time increased, the removal rate of hexavalent chromium increased.

[0060] Under the same conditions as above, the coenzyme NAD + Replaced by NADP + The same effect can be achieved when glutaraldehyde is replaced by acetaldehyde.

[0061] Figure 4 is the residual hexavalent chromium concentration after different reaction times. The experimental results show that after 4 minutes of reaction, 46% of the hexavalent chromium with an initial concentration of 0.1 mM has not been reduced. After 12 minutes of reaction, only about 16.8% of the hexavalent chromium has not been reduced, and about 83.2% of the hexavalent chromium has been reduced.

[0062] Example 5: Construction of a coenzyme regeneration system using the purified fusion protein Cr-Aldh

[0063] 0.5 mg / mL of fusion protein Cr-Aldh was added to a phosphate buffer at pH 7.0, with 0.1 mM hexavalent chromium and 0.5 mM glutaraldehyde as substrates and 1 mM NAD + Coenzyme, 0.001mM calcium ion (added in the form of calcium chloride, i.e., 0.001mM calcium chloride) was added at the same time, and the reaction was carried out at 75° C. As the reaction time increased, the removal rate of hexavalent chromium increased.

[0064] Under the same conditions as above, the coenzyme NAD + Replaced by NADP + The same effect can be achieved when glutaraldehyde is replaced by acetaldehyde.

[0065] Figure 5The experimental results show that after 6 minutes of reaction, 42% of the hexavalent chromium remained unreduced at an initial concentration of 0.1 mM hexavalent chromium. After 15 minutes of reaction, only about 13.9% of the hexavalent chromium remained unreduced, and about 86.1% of the hexavalent chromium was reduced.

[0066] The fusion protein Cr-Aldh has the functions of chromium reductase and aldehyde dehydrogenase, and has the same effect in coenzyme regeneration. Through recombinant expression, the fusion protein can be applied to water environments with complex pollution of hexavalent chromium and aldehydes. Compared with the dual enzyme regeneration system, the fusion protein not only simplifies the preparation process, but also reduces costs.

[0067] In water environments with hexavalent chromium and aldehydes co-pollutants, when chromium reductase is used to reduce hexavalent chromium, coenzyme NADH or NADPH needs to be added, while when aldehyde dehydrogenase is used to oxidize aldehyde compounds, NAD + or NADP + The fusion protein of the present invention has both chromium reductase function and aldehyde dehydrogenase function. When repairing hexavalent chromium and aldehyde compound pollution, only the fusion protein and a coenzyme (NADH, NADPH, NAD + or NADP + ), coenzyme regeneration can be achieved.

[0068] The above embodiments are detailed descriptions of the preferred embodiments of the present invention, but the embodiments are not intended to limit the scope of the patent application of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, any modifications made without departing from the content, spirit and scope of the present invention are within the protection scope of the present invention.
