Abstract
Description
(1) Technical field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of enzyme engineering and genetic engineering, and particularly relates to a steroid dehydrogenase mutant with high catalytic activity and its application in preparing steroid drugs. (2) Background technology
[0002] Steroids are a class of compounds with a specific chemical structure, whose core is composed of a cyclopentaphenanthrene. Steroid drugs have a wide range of therapeutic effects in medicine, including anti-tumor, anti-inflammatory, antiviral, antibacterial, anticonvulsant, and anti-allergic effects. Their global sales volume is second only to antibiotics. To date, over 400 steroid drugs have been produced worldwide, and global sales of steroid hormones reached $100 billion in 2017.
[0003] Steroid biotransformation technology involves the conversion of steroid compounds into steroidal derivatives with pharmaceutical or industrial value through biocatalysis. It is an important method for structural modification of steroids and other complex natural products. Biotransformation offers significant advantages, including mild reaction conditions, minimal byproducts, simple procedures, and environmental friendliness. Therefore, it is widely used in the research and production of steroidal drugs.
[0004] Androstane-1,4-diene-3,17-dione (ADD) is a key steroidal derivative produced during sterol degradation and is widely used as a precursor for various steroidal drugs, including synthetic contraceptives, estrogens, and progestins. ADD can be biocatalyzed by the dehydrogenation of androstane-4-ene-3,17-dione (AD). KstD or KSDD, a key enzyme catalyzing the 1,2 dehydrogenation of steroids, effectively introduces a double bond at the 1,2 position of the steroidal A ring, enabling the synthesis of ADD. However, during the biotransformation of AD, the FAD regeneration system produces hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). H2O2, a strong oxidant, is toxic during the whole-cell catalytic conversion and may affect conversion efficiency.
[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to find a method for efficiently synthesizing ADD.
[0006] The error-prone PCR technology is used to obtain the preferred mutant of 3-sterol-Δ1-dehydrogenase, which can further improve the biotransformation efficiency and promote its application in the conversion of sterols in the biomedical field. (3) Summary of the invention
[0007] The present invention aims to provide a steroid dehydrogenase mutant and its use in the preparation of steroid drugs. The present invention utilizes error-prone PCR screening to obtain a steroid dehydrogenase mutant with significantly improved enzyme activity, and then couples the steroid dehydrogenase mutant with catalase to eliminate the effect of hydrogen peroxide on bioconversion, thereby improving the bioconversion rate and solving the problem of the toxic effect of hydrogen peroxide generated by the FAD regeneration system on bioconversion during whole-cell catalytic conversion.
[0008] The technical solution adopted in the present invention is:
[0009] The present invention provides a steroid dehydrogenase mutant, which is obtained by single or double mutation of positions 167 and 405 of the amino acid sequence of steroid dehydrogenase (KstD2) shown in SEQ ID NO.1.
[0010] Furthermore, the steroid dehydrogenase mutant is obtained by mutating glycine at position 167 to aspartic acid and / or glutamine at position 405 to arginine in the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO.1.
[0011] Furthermore, it is preferred that the steroid dehydrogenase mutant is a mutant wherein the glycine at position 167 of the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO.1 is mutated to aspartic acid and the glutamine at position 405 is mutated to arginine, and is designated as KstD2. G167D / Q405R , the amino acid sequence is shown in SEQ ID NO.3.
[0012] The present invention also relates to the coding gene, recombinant expression vector and recombinant genetic engineering bacteria of the steroid dehydrogenase mutant. The recombinant expression vector uses plasmid pET-28a(+) as a basic vector, and the recombinant genetic engineering bacteria uses Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3) as a host bacteria.
[0013] The present invention also provides an application of the steroid dehydrogenase mutant in the dehydrogenation of androst-4-ene-3,17-dione (AD) to generate androst-1,4-diene-3,17-dione (ADD). The application method comprises the following steps: using wet bacteria cultured by fermentation of an engineered bacterium expressing a fusion of the steroid dehydrogenase mutant and catalase as a catalyst, using androst-4-ene-3,17-dione as a substrate, and using a buffer solution with a pH of 5-10 as a reaction medium to form a conversion system, reacting at 25-55°C and 180 rpm, separating and purifying the reaction solution, and obtaining androst-1,4-diene-3,17-dione.
[0014]
[0015] Furthermore, in the transformation system, the substrate is added at a concentration of 20-60 g / L, preferably 40 g / L; the wet bacteria are added at a concentration of 20-60 g / L, preferably 40 g / L.
[0016] Furthermore, a cosolvent is added to the conversion system, wherein the cosolvent is hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HP-β-CD), and the molar ratio of the added amount to the substrate is 1:1.
[0017] Furthermore, the buffer solution is 50 mM Tris-HCl buffer solution with a pH of 8.0.
[0018] Furthermore, the amino acid sequence of the catalase is shown in SEQ ID NO.4.
[0019] Furthermore, the method for constructing the engineered bacteria is as follows: a steroid dehydrogenase mutant and a catalase are connected via a connecting peptide to form a fusion protein, which is then inserted into a plasmid pET-28a(+) to construct a recombinant expression vector, which is then introduced into a host bacterium; the amino acid sequence of the connecting peptide is GGGGS.
[0020] Furthermore, the connection order of the fusion protein is: steroid dehydrogenase mutant-connector peptide-catalase or catalase-connector peptide-steroid dehydrogenase mutant.
[0021] Furthermore, the preferred engineering bacteria are constructed as follows: the synthetic recombinant plasmid pET-28a(+)-katA-L-KstD2 G167D / Q405R As a template, katA fragment with connecting peptide and KstD2 were obtained by PCR amplification. G167D / Q405R , and then seamlessly cloned with pET-28a (+) that was also digested with BamHI and HindIII to obtain the fusion protein KstD2 G167D / Q405R -L-katA.
[0022] Furthermore, the wet bacteria were prepared as follows: a glycerol tube of an engineered bacterium expressing a steroid dehydrogenase mutant and a catalase was inoculated into a TB medium containing 50 μg / mL kanamycin, and cultured at 37°C and 180 rpm for 12 h to serve as a seed solution; the seed solution was inoculated into a TB medium containing 50 μg / mL kanamycin at an inoculum concentration of 3% by volume, and cultured in a shaking incubator at 37°C and 180 rpm until the OD 600 When the pH value reached 0.6-0.8, IPTG (isopropyl-β-D-thiogalactoside) was added at a final concentration of 0.1 mM, and the mixture was induced on a shaker at 20°C and 180 rpm for 16 h. After the induction, the mixture was centrifuged at 8000 rpm for 10 min, and the precipitate was washed once with 0.9% (w / v) saline to remove residual culture medium components and other impurities to obtain wet bacteria.
[0023] Compared with the existing methods, the beneficial effects of the present invention are mainly reflected in:
[0024] (1) The present invention improves the enzyme activity by screening steroid dehydrogenase mutants, increasing it from the original 54.3 U / mg wet bacteria to 67.7 U / mg wet bacteria.
[0025] (2) The present invention connects the steroid dehydrogenase mutant and catalase through a connecting peptide to form a fusion protein, which is then expressed for catalyzing AD to prepare ADD. This not only improves the substrate conversion rate, which is as high as 98.6%, but also solves the problem of hydrogen peroxide toxicity to wet bacterial cells during the reaction, reduces production costs, and has good industrial application prospects.
