Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of biocatalysis, and in particular relates to a non-specific peroxygenase mutant and application thereof in the synthesis of 25-hydroxyvitamin D3. Background Art

[0002] 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 (25-hydroxy cholecalciferol or calcifediol), also known as calcifediol, is the first active metabolite of vitamin D3. It has stronger physiological activity and is also the main active form of vitamin D3 in the blood circulation. It enters the blood directly without being metabolized by the liver. After vitamin D3 enters the human or animal body, it must first be converted into 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 by the liver, and then metabolized by the kidneys to 1α, 25-dihydroxyvitamin D3, in order to activate the calcium and phosphorus transport system in the small intestine and promote the absorption and deposition of calcium and phosphorus. Therefore, 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 is also called active vitamin D3, and 1α, 25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 is called fully active vitamin D3. The biological potency of 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 is 20 to 40 times that of vitamin D3, and it has the effects of promoting animal bone development, improving feed conversion rate, and enhancing resistance. 25-Hydroxyvitamin D3 was developed by American scientists in the early years and was certified by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 1995. It was approved by the U.S. FDA to be used as a new nutritional additive in livestock and poultry feed. On February 1, 2014, my country began to allow the feed industry to produce and use it. In the future, 25-Hydroxyvitamin D3 is expected to replace vitamin D3 and become one of the essential vitamins in livestock and poultry farming. In livestock and poultry farming, 25-Hydroxyvitamin D3 mainly plays three core functions: 1. Increase blood calcium content and enhance bone density; 2. Promote the body to produce immunoglobulins and enhance immunity; 3. Improve sperm quality, increase embryo implantation rate, and increase hatching rate and birth rate.

[0003] Traditional industrial production methods are chemical and biological. The chemical method first requires the separation of complex cholesterol in the separation workshop through separation and extraction, dehydrogenation of crude products and other processes to obtain 25-hydroxycholesterol crude product; then in the thermal workshop, the 25-hydroxycholesterol crude product is converted into 25-hydroxy-7-dehydrocholesterol through crystallization, acylation, oxidation, hydrazone preparation, dehydrazone, saponification and other processes; finally, in the photochemical workshop, 25-hydroxy-7-dehydrocholesterol is subjected to light ring opening and column separation to obtain 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 crystals. Garden Bio 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 is prepared by a special molecular distillation extraction method. The complex cholesterol obtained from the lanolin comprehensive utilization project is used as a raw material to separate a certain steroid compound from it, and further obtain high-purity 25-hydroxycholesterol. The synthesis process from 25-hydroxycholesterol to 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 is basically similar to the process route from cholesterol to vitamin D3. DSM first obtains 5,7,24-triene cholesterol through biological fermentation, then obtains the precursor of 25-hydroxyvitamin D3, 25-hydroxy-7-dehydrocholesterol, through chemical synthesis methods such as epoxidation and reduction processes, further obtains 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 through photochemical reaction, and finally obtains the final 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 product through microencapsulation technology. It can be seen that the chemical synthesis method has cumbersome steps, harsh reaction conditions, large amounts of organic solvents, and produces many toxic and harmful by-products, which pollutes the environment. There are also problems such as poor product stereoselectivity, low conversion rate, and high cost. The biological method is divided into biological fermentation and biocatalysis. The biological fermentation method is to convert vitamin D3 into 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 through specific enzymes in the microorganism during the fermentation process of microorganisms. This method has mild production conditions and is environmentally friendly, but it also has problems such as complex fermentation broth composition, low product concentration (less than 1g / L), and long fermentation cycle, which seriously affect the post-extraction efficiency. The biocatalytic principle mainly uses genetic engineering technology to prepare specific oxidases, which specifically oxidize vitamin D3 in vitro to generate 25-hydroxyvitamin D3. It only needs to undergo a one-step hydroxylation reaction, and the reaction has good stereoselectivity, short reaction steps, mild reaction conditions, high conversion rate, high product purity, and is environmentally friendly, and does not produce many toxic and harmful substances. It has been reported that multiple P450 enzymes such as CYP105A1, CYP109A2, CYP109E1, Vdh, etc. can realize the catalytic process of vitamin D3 to calcifediol, that is, hydroxylation at the C-25 position of vitamin D3. CN115838695A reported the research work of using P450 enzymes to catalyze vitamin D3 through selective hydroxylation reaction to prepare calcifediol. The P450 enzymes derived from Bacillus sonorensis were screened and improved to have higher catalytic activity, and overcome the defect of low singleness of its hydroxylation position, and exclusively generate calcifediol.However, the P450 enzyme catalysis method also has certain limitations. The reaction process requires expensive NADPH as a coenzyme, and most P450 enzymes have low expression levels (membrane proteins), low catalytic substrate concentrations, and some P450 enzyme varieties have poor positional selectivity, which makes it easy to produce other by-products. The catalysis time is long, and the industrial production process conditions need to be optimized in many aspects.

[0004] In recent years, unspecific peroxygenase (UPO, EC 1.11.2.1.) has been continuously discovered and characterized. It has the same active center as P450 enzyme and similar catalytic mechanism. Unspecific peroxygenase is a kind of oxidase derived from fungi, belongs to the heme oxygenase family, and has multifunctional oxidation catalytic activity. Compared with oxidases such as P450 monooxygenase and oleate hydratase, which are widely reported in current research, UPO has a wider substrate range, and the catalytic process can directly use cheap hydrogen peroxide as an oxygen donor and electron acceptor, without the need for a complex electron transport chain, etc., which greatly saves the reaction cost, and therefore has greater application prospects. CN115181758A reports a method for catalytic synthesis of 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 by immobilized UPO, using vitamin D3 as a raw material, using nonspecific peroxygenase from Agrocybe olei as a catalyst, and using hydrogen peroxide as an oxidant to carry out CH bond activation and hydroxylation reaction, which can realize a one-step catalytic oxidation method to prepare calcifediol. However, the enzyme's selectivity for C-25 hydroxylation is only 70% at present, and the large number of by-products increases the difficulty of downstream processing. Therefore, it is necessary to use enzyme engineering methods to transform UPO, improve the catalytic activity for vitamin D3 and the specific selectivity for C-25 hydroxylation, improve the catalytic efficiency, and simplify the reaction system so that it can better meet the production process requirements. This has become an important research direction for the development of green synthesis technology for 25-hydroxyvitamin D3. Summary of the invention

[0027] The term "polynucleotide" refers to a polymeric form of nucleotides of any length, including ribonucleotides and deoxyribonucleotides.

[0028] The term "encoding" refers to the correlation between nucleotide triplets or codons in a DNA sequence and the amino acids that make up a peptide, amino acid sequence or protein. When a nucleotide sequence is described as encoding a peptide, it means that when the nucleotide sequence is transcribed into messenger RNA (mRNA) and the mRNA is translated, the peptide will be produced.

[0029] The term "homology" or "percent homology" (percent homology, identity+similarity) uses homology comparison software such as BLASP, TBLASTN or tBLASTX from the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) to determine biotechnological information, using specific parameters. For the purposes of the present invention, the term "homology" or "homolog" refers to the identity of two or more nucleic acid sequences or the identity of two or more amino acid sequences. Homologous sequences include "paralogs" and "orthologs" sequences. The term "paralogs" refers to gene duplication within a species genome, resulting in paralogous genes. The term "orthologs" refers to homologous genes produced in different organisms due to ancestral relationships.

[0030] The term "vector" or "expression vector" refers to a vector that can introduce a DNA or RNA sequence (e.g., a heterologous gene) into a host cell to transform the host and promote cell production. For example, transcription and translation of the introduced sequence. Vectors generally contain DNA of transmissible factors, into which foreign DNA encoding proteins is inserted by restriction enzyme technology. A common type of vector is a "plasmid," which is generally a double-stranded DNA molecule that can easily accept additional (foreign) DNA and can be easily introduced into a suitable host cell, including plasmids and fungal vectors, which have been described for replication and / or expression in a variety of eukaryotic and prokaryotic hosts. Non-limiting examples include pKK plasmid (Clonetech), pUC plasmid, pET plasmid (Novagen, Inc., Madison, WI), pRSET or PrEP plasmid (Invitrogen, San Diego, CA), pMAL plasmid (New England Biolabs, Beverly, MA), pGAPZaA, pPIC9k, pcWori+, pET-26b (+), pXTD14, pYEX-S1, pMAL and pET22-b (+).

Suitable vectors for inserting the polynucleotides are vectors derived from prokaryotic expression vectors, such as pUC18, pUC19, Bluescript and its derivatives, mp18, mp19, pBR322, pMB9, Co1E1, pCR1, RP4, phages and "shuttle" vectors, such as pSA3 and pAT28; yeast expression vectors such as Saccharomyces cerevisiae two-micron plasmids, integration plasmids, YEP vectors, centromere plasmids; expression vectors in insect cells, such as pAC series vectors and pVL expression vectors; plant cell expression vectors such as piBi, pEarleyGate, PAVA, pCAMBIA, PGSA, PGWB, PMDC, PMY, pore series, etc., and other eukaryotic cell expression vectors, including baculovirus suitable for transfecting insect cells using any commercially available baculovirus system. Other vectors can be used by those skilled in the art as needed. If different from those described in the embodiments, routine experiments in biotechnology can be used to determine which vectors are most suitable for the present invention. In general, the selection of the vector depends on the size of the polynucleotide sequence and the host cell used in the method of the present invention.

[0051] Table 1 Conclusion: Compared with wild-type UPO, the nonspecific peroxygenase mutant of the present invention has higher catalytic activity.

[0052] Example 5 Preparation of non-specific peroxygenase mutants Shake flask fermentation: (a) Preparation of shake flask seed culture medium: 10 g yeast extract, 20 g peptone, and 20 g glucose were dissolved in 800 mL distilled water, the pH was adjusted to 7, and the volume was made up to 1000 mL with distilled water. The mixture was kept at 115 °C for 30 min.

[0053] (b) Fermentation step: A single clone of mutant E20A / M25K / S57V was picked from the plate and inoculated into 50 mL seed culture medium (250 mL Erlenmeyer flask), and cultured at 30°C, 200 rpm, and OD600 grew to 4 after 24 hours. A 1% inoculum was inoculated into 300 mL seed culture medium (1 L Erlenmeyer flask), and cultured at 30°C, 200 rpm, and OD600 grew to 7 after 24 hours.

[0054] Fermentation in fermenter: The seed solution was inoculated at 10% inoculation rate and cultured at 30°C and 200 r / min for 24 h. The secondary seed solution cultured to the logarithmic growth phase was inoculated at 10% (V / V) into a 10 L fermenter sterilized by high pressure (containing 6 L basal salt medium: 26.7 mL / L 85% phosphoric acid, 0.93 g / L CaSO 4 ▪2H 2 O, 14.9 g / L MgSO 4 ▪7H 2 O, 18.2 g / L K 2 SO 4 , 7.13 g / L KOH, 40 g / L glycerol, add PTM1 trace elements to 12 mL / L after sterilization), culture at 30℃ and 800 r / min. When the glycerol in the basal salt medium is consumed, feed with 50% (V / V) glycerol (containing 12 mL / L PTM1 trace elements), and the flow rate is adjusted according to the dissolved oxygen (DO) to keep the dissolved oxygen concentration at about 40%. When the wet weight reaches 160 g / L, stop feeding and starve culture for 1 h. After the starvation culture, set the temperature to 22℃ and control the pH at about 6.0. Methanol was added for low-temperature induction to control the dissolved oxygen at about 40% for 120 h. The enzyme solution was concentrated with a 10KDa ultrafiltration membrane package and the expression of the recombinant protein and enzyme activity were detected.

[0055] Example 6 Preparation of 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 by non-specific peroxygenase mutants In a 250 ml reaction bottle, 54 ml of 50 mmol / L potassium phosphate buffer solution (pH=8.0), 40 ml of acetone, 1 g of vitamin D3, 5 ml of 0.1 mol / L hydrogen peroxide (final concentration 5.0 mmol / L), and 1 ml of enzyme solution (0.5 U / ml) were added. The final reaction system volume was about 100 ml. The concentrations of the above reagents were calculated based on the final reaction system volume (for example, the concentration of the enzyme solution = (0.5 U / ml×1 ml) / 100 ml=5 U / L). The reaction temperature was 30°C. The reaction was stirred with a magnetic stirrer for 24 hours. After the reaction was terminated, 100 μl of the reaction solution was taken, 200 μl of ethyl acetate was added, extracted, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and the content of 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 was detected by HPLC. Then, the conversion rate of 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 was calculated. The results are shown in Table 2.
