Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of biocatalytic synthesis technology, and in particular to a glycosyltransferase UGT76G1 mutant and a method for catalyzing the synthesis of rebaudioside M. Background Technology
[0002] Rebaudioside M is a natural sweetener extracted from stevia and belongs to the steviol glycoside family. Compared to other common steviol glycosides, such as rebaudioside A, rebaudioside M is also very sweet and has a relatively good taste, close to sucrose, while being low in calories to almost zero. Therefore, it is often used as an additive in health and weight loss foods.
[0003] Rebaudioside M has undergone rigorous food safety assessments and is considered a safe food additive that can be used in the food and beverage industry to replace traditional sugars, reducing product calories without affecting sweetness. This helps diabetics and those trying to control their weight to reduce sugar intake. Furthermore, Rebaudioside M can, to some extent, avoid certain bitter or aftertastes, thus it is used in high-end food formulations to optimize taste and flavor.
[0004] However, the yield of rebaudioside M in existing technologies is relatively low and cannot meet the high market demand. Summary of the Invention
[0005] In view of this, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a glucose transferase UGT76G1 mutant and a method for catalyzing the synthesis of rebaudioside M, in order to overcome the problem of low yield of rebaudioside M in the prior art.

[0026] The amino acid sequence of (B1) is shown in SEQ ID NO.5;
[0027] Proteins that have 95% or 98% or more of the same amino acid sequence as (B1) and have the same function.
[0028] Fourthly, the present invention provides a method for synthesizing rebaudioside M using glycosyltransferase UGT76G1, characterized in that rebaudioside M is synthesized using the above-mentioned enzyme composition as substrates, with rebaudioside D, UDPG and sucrose as substrates.

After centrifugation, the bacterial cells are collected and lysed. The supernatant is the glycosyltransferase UGT76G1 mutant enzyme solution. The inoculum size is 1 v / v %; the final concentration of kanamycin sulfate is 10-100 μg / mL; and the final concentration of L-arabinose is 0.1-15 mM.

In this process, UDPG is recycled, reducing substrate consumption. Furthermore, the fructose generated in the reaction can be quantitatively analyzed, indirectly measuring the activity level of the glycosyltransferase UGT76G1 mutant. Based on this characteristic, the glycosyltransferase UGT76G1 can be targeted for evolutionary modification to improve its catalytic activity. Attached Figure Description

Subsequently, colonies were scraped from the plate with a glass rod to extract the plasmid library, which was stored at -20℃ for subsequent high-throughput screening of mutant libraries.
[0086] Example 4
[0087] High-throughput screening
[0088] After the random mutant library was constructed, single colonies were picked from the plate using a toothpick sterilized by high temperature and autoclave, and inoculated into a 96-well plate containing 800 μL of LB medium (containing kanamycin sulfate). The seed culture was obtained by shaking in a 96-well plate at 37°C and 900 rpm for 24 h.
[0089] Seed culture was collected using an inoculation needle and transferred to a new 96-well LB medium containing kanamycin sulfate (final concentration 50 μg / mL). The culture was incubated at 37°C and 900 rpm until OD was achieved. 600 When the pH value reached 0.6–0.8, L-arabinose was added to a final concentration of 1 mM, and the cells were induced and cultured for another 22 h in a 96-well plate at 30°C and 900 rpm. After induction, the cells were collected by centrifugation at 3000 × g for 20 min. Lysozyme solution was added to each well and mixed thoroughly to allow the lysozyme to fully act on the cells, lysing them and releasing the intracellular enzyme. After lysis, the cells were centrifuged at 3000 × g for 20 min at 4°C in a refrigerated centrifuge to obtain the glycosyltransferase UGT76G1 mutant enzyme solution, which was used for subsequent reactions.
[0090] Preparation of AtSUS enzyme solution: Seed culture of recombinant Escherichia coli strain AtSUS was collected using an inoculation needle and transferred to an Erlenmeyer flask containing 10 mL of LB medium, which also contained kanamycin sulfate (final concentration 50 μg / mL). The flask was incubated at 37℃ and 220 r / min in a shaker. When OD... 600 When the concentration reaches 0.6-0.8, L-arabinose with a final concentration of 1 mM is added, and the cells are cultured at 30℃ and 220 r / min for another 22 h. After centrifugation, the cells are collected and then sonicated to disrupt the cell structure. After centrifugation at 5000×g for 5 min, the sucrose synthase AtSUS enzyme solution is obtained.
[0091] Reaction system: 8 mM rebaudioside D, 48 mM sucrose, 1.6 mM UDPG, 0.16 mL AtSUS enzyme solution, 0.16 mL glycosyltransferase UGT76G1 mutant enzyme solution, 100 mM sodium phosphate buffer, mixed, pH of the reaction system is 8, reacted in a water bath at 37℃ for 6 h, and the reaction was terminated by heating for 5 min.
[0092] DNS assay procedure: The reaction product was centrifuged at 3000×g for 20 min at 4°C in a refrigerated centrifuge to obtain the reaction supernatant. 70 μL of the reaction supernatant and 210 μL of DNS were added to a clean 96-well plate, mixed well, and heated for 5 min to initiate the DNS colorimetric reaction. After cooling to room temperature, the plate was centrifuged at 3000×g for 18 min. 200 μL of the supernatant was transferred to a 96-well microplate, and the OD was measured using a microplate reader. 540 Numerical value. OD 540 The UGT76G1 mutant used in the reaction solution with the high value is the mutant with high activity, and it is then retested in a vial.
[0093] Small-bottle validation: OD was obtained after screening with a 96-well plate. 540 After obtaining mutants with high glycosyltransferase values, single colonies of the UGT76G1 mutant, wild-type UGT76G1 glycosyltransferase, and recombinant Escherichia coli strain AtSUS were picked and inoculated into test tubes, respectively. The tubes were then incubated in a shaker at 37°C and 220 rpm for 12 h to obtain seed culture. The seed culture was then inoculated into 20 mL LB medium (containing kanamycin sulfate at a final concentration of 50 μg / mL) at a 1% volume ratio, and incubated again at 37°C and 220 rpm until OD was obtained. 600 L-arabinose was added to a final concentration of 1 mM at pH values of 0.6-0.8 for induction, and the cells were cultured at 30℃ and 200 rpm for 18 h. After the culture was completed, the bacterial cells were collected by centrifugation (5000×g for 10 min), and the cells were resuspended in 0.51 mL of 100 mM pH 8.0 sodium phosphate buffer. The cells were then lysed and centrifuged to obtain UGT76G1 mutant enzyme solution, wild-type UGT76G1 enzyme solution, and sucrose synthase AtSUS enzyme solution.
[0094] The reaction system consisted of 8 mM rebaudioside D, 48 mM sucrose, 1.6 mM UDPG, 0.5 mL UGT76G1 mutant enzyme solution or wild-type UGT76G1 enzyme solution, and 0.2 mL AtSUS enzyme solution. The solution was brought to a final volume of 10 mL with 100 mM sodium phosphate buffer. The pH of the reaction system was 8. The mixture was incubated in a water bath at 37°C for 6 hours, then the reaction was terminated by boiling for 5 minutes. After centrifugation at 10000×g for 2 minutes, the supernatant was used for the DNS reaction. The OD was then analyzed.540 The yield of rebaudioside M was verified by HPLC analysis of the reaction solution catalyzed by the mutant with a higher value than that of wild-type UGT76G1.
[0095] Filtering results:
[0096] After multiple initial screenings and vial rescreenings of the UGT76G1 mutant library, the inventors ultimately obtained four superior mutants from nearly 2000 mutants. These four mutants exhibited higher enzyme activities than the wild type, significantly improving the efficiency of catalyzing the synthesis of rebaudioside M from rebaudioside D. The yield results of rebaudioside M from the superior mutants in vial retesting are shown below. Figure 1 As shown in the figure. Among them, the yield of rebaudioside M in mutant 101H10 was nearly 10 times higher than that in the wild type. Sequencing revealed that the amino acid sequence of mutant 101H10 was obtained by the following mutations based on the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO.1: amino acid at position 89 was mutated from M to H, amino acid at position 380 was mutated from L to M, and amino acid at position 411 was mutated from A to Y.

The culture was carried out at 30℃ and 220 rpm for 18 h. After the culture was completed, the bacterial cells were collected by centrifugation (5000×g for 10 min), resuspended in 10.5 mL of 100 mM pH 8.0 sodium phosphate buffer, and then the cells were lysed and centrifuged to obtain UGT76G1 mutant 101H10 enzyme solution and sucrose synthase AtSUS enzyme solution.

[0101] The reaction solution was sampled every 1 hour, and the yield of rebaudioside M was analyzed by HPLC as a function of conversion time. The results are as follows: Figure 2As shown, the optimal mutant 101H10 can convert 20 mM rebaudioside D (RD) into 17.2 mM rebaudioside M (RM) within 16 h, with an RD conversion rate of 86%.
