Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of biotechnology, and in particular to a regenerated cellulose fiber containing melanin and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] In daily life, the ubiquitous ultraviolet rays in the sun and the potential radiation in the environment threaten human health. The turbulent international situation and the potential threat of nuclear war in recent years have led to an increasing demand for radiation protection for the military and the public. Technological progress has also accelerated human exploration of the space environment, making astronauts' resistance to ultraviolet rays and high-energy rays in space and environmental adaptation one of the main challenges of manned spaceflight and space exploration. There is a common demand in these scenarios, that is, a new type of clothing material that can resist radiation by simply wearing it, while meeting the performance expectations of biocompatibility, comfort, environmental friendliness, and sustainable development.

[0003] In most organisms in nature, there is a class of molecules that resist ultraviolet and high-energy radiation - melanin. It is a polymer compound formed by the polymerization of monomer molecules such as tyrosine or 3'4'-dihydroxyamphetamine, and is widely found in animals (such as human skin, hair, cephalopod cuttlefish ink, etc.), plants and microorganisms. Melanin molecules can absorb ultraviolet and other high-energy rays, and convert the energy into heat energy (rather than free radicals) and release it, so that living organisms are not damaged by free radicals frequently generated by high-energy rays. Black fungi that can resist nuclear radiation have been found in the ruins of the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant. It is precisely because of the secretion of high concentrations of melanin molecules that life can survive in high-intensity radiation. At the same time, melanin has many beneficial material properties. For example, as the process and final link of electron transfer in organisms, it has the characteristics of absorbing free electrons and scavenging free radicals. Therefore, it has strong potential applications in the fields of sun protection, skin care, industrial chemistry, electrochemistry and electronic products. Melanin is also a type of natural pigment ranging from brown to black. It has extremely low solubility in water and is often used as a black color enhancer in food additives (such as the use of cuttlefish ink in the food industry). As a biomacromolecule, it is naturally degradable in the natural environment.

[0004] However, melanin is rarely used in textile materials at present, which may be related to the fact that melanin molecules have large polymer molecular chains and more complex tertiary structures. The academic community has not yet formed a unified understanding of the complex structure of melanin molecules. Since melanin molecules have extremely low solubility in neutral aqueous solutions and are difficult to dissolve in common organic solvents, conventional fabric dyeing processes make it difficult for large melanin particles to enter the interior of the fiber and for melanin molecules to attach and bind. When preparing conventional chemical fibers, it is difficult to mix and prepare raw fibers with this material because the natural melanin particles are too large to be dispersed in the spinning system. Conventional methods require the use of other materials combined with melanin to disperse it before use. For example, the natural melanin extracted from yaks is compounded with polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) to modify the surface of wool fabrics. The coating enhances the wool's UV protection function (UV protection factor level 198.48), photothermal performance, and hydrophobicity (hydrophobic angle 164°). There is also a method of first preparing a melanin / titanium dioxide composite material, and then compounding the material on the wool surface as a coating, which significantly improves the fabric's UV resistance. Obviously, using melanin plus a medium as a fabric coating or preparing a masterbatch is an existing conventional technical path for utilizing melanin. However, the coating structure or masterbatch requires a medium to carry the melanin molecules, and the color fastness of the coating and masterbatch will gradually disappear with use and washing. In addition, when adding melanin by coating, the coating thickness on the fiber surface is difficult to control, which will greatly affect the appearance, color and texture of the fiber. Summary of the invention

[0049] Now, various exemplary embodiments of the present invention are described in detail, and this detailed description should not be considered as a limitation of the present invention, but should be understood as a more detailed description of certain aspects, characteristics and embodiments of the present invention. It should be understood that the terms described in the present invention are only for describing specific embodiments and are not used to limit the present invention.

[0050] In addition, for the numerical range in the present invention, it is understood that each intermediate value between the upper and lower limits of the range is also specifically disclosed. The intermediate value in any stated value or stated range, and each smaller range between any other stated value or intermediate value in the range is also included in the present invention. The upper and lower limits of these smaller ranges can be independently included or excluded in the scope.

[0051] Unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which the invention pertains. Although only preferred methods and materials are described herein, any methods and materials similar or equivalent to those described herein may also be used in the practice or testing of the present invention.

[0052] The words “include,” “including,” “have,” “contain,” etc. used in this document are open-ended terms, meaning including but not limited to.

[0053] First, the present invention utilizes the fact that melanin molecules can be dissolved or dispersed into extremely small aggregates in an alkaline aqueous solution (pH>10), and when the pH returns to neutral or acidic, they aggregate and precipitate. The present invention utilizes this property to directly freeze-dry or spray-dry the alkaline solution of melanin, thereby maintaining its nanoscale dispersion effect. The treated melanin can remain dissolved in the aqueous solution or be uniformly dispersed at the nanoscale.

[0054] The present invention utilizes the characteristic that melanin is soluble in alkaline aqueous solution, and can use the spinning system of alkaline viscose fiber to uniformly mix the dissolved melanin with the alkaline cellulose system dissolved by carbon disulfide, and obtain black viscose fiber through wet spinning. Since the spinning coagulation bath is an acidic solution such as sulfuric acid, the melanin molecules can be solidified while solidifying the cellulose, and the phenolic hydroxyl groups of the melanin molecules can generate hydrogen bonds with the hydroxyl groups of the cellulose sugar chain, thereby firmly binding to the cellulose chain.

[0055] The present invention finds that the uniformly dispersed melanin molecules can be effectively dissolved in the NMMO solution, thus being suitable for the preparation of cellulose fibers in the Lyocell system. In addition, the "Preparation Method of Regenerated Cellulose Fibers Combined with Recombinant Proteins" (CN118835343A) proposed by the applicant shows that proteins with carbohydrate binding domains (CBM) can interact with cellulose in the NMMO system. Therefore, we use this system to add melanin molecules on the basis of cellulose-protein interaction to form a type of three-way interacting composite material: melanin can use phenolic hydroxyl groups to produce hydrogen bond interactions with cellulose chains, melanin can use aldehyde-ammonia condensation to form a Schiff base reaction to interact with the N-terminal amino residues of the protein chain, and protein and cellulose can interact through the combination of CBM and sugar chains.

[0056] The present invention prepares new recombinant spider silk protein, squid beak protein, bee silk protein and other animal proteins, which are used together with the spider silk protein reported in the aforementioned patent to further enhance the fiber effect. The present invention is based on the improvement and adjustment of regenerated cellulose fibers such as the Lyocell system, and replaces the coagulation bath with a weakly acidic solution with a pH of 2-3, thereby utilizing the change of pH on the solubility of the material to solidify and retain the silk protein and melanin inside the fiber.

[0057] Example 1 Design and expression of recombinant protein

[0058] In this example, the various recombinant proteins used in the various examples and comparative examples were prepared. The amino acid sequences and nucleic acid sequences of all the recombinant proteins in the present invention are:

[0059] The recombinant squid beak protein comprises a squid beak protein HBP-1 repeat region and is connected to CBM at both ends, wherein the amino acid sequence of CBM-HBP-1-CBM is SEQ ID NO.1, wherein positions 162-322 are the squid beak protein HBP-1 repeat region sequence;

[0060] The DNA sequence encoding the above CBM-HBP-1-CBM is SEQ ID NO.2.

[0061] A recombinant spider silk protein, comprising a MaSp2 spider silk protein repeat region and having CBMs connected at both ends, wherein the amino acid sequence of the recombinant spider silk protein is SEQ ID NO.3, wherein positions 160-353 are the sequence of the MaSp2 spider silk protein repeat region;

[0062] The DNA sequence encoding the above recombinant spider silk protein is SEQ ID NO.4.

[0063] Recombinant bee silk protein, comprising a bee silk protein AF3 repeat region and having CBM connected at both ends, the amino acid sequence of CBM-AF3-CBM is SEQ ID NO.5, wherein positions 164-498 are the sequence of the bee silk protein AF3 repeat region;

[0064] The DNA sequence encoding the above CBM-AF3-CBM is SEQ ID NO.6.

[0065] The above sequences were all synthesized by BGI and inserted into the pET28a commercial plasmid vector with the insertion site between BamHI and XhoI. The final plasmid was transferred into the Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3) strain by chemical transformation (completed by BGI service).

[0066] The constructed strain was cultured by fermentation, purified and freeze-dried to obtain recombinant protein dry powder, as follows:

[0067] (1) Shake flask fermentation

[0068] After the strain is constructed, take the preserved glycerol tube and streak it on a solid LB (containing 50ug / ml kanamycin Kana) plate, and culture it in a 37°C incubator overnight. Pick a single clone and grow it in 4-5mL LB (containing 50ug / ml kanamycin Kana) liquid culture medium at 37°C, 200rpm shaker overnight. The next day, transfer it to a 400mL shake flask for fermentation at 1%, and culture it at 200rpm, 37°C for 2-3h until OD600 = 0.6. Add isopropylthiogalactoside (IPTG) at a final concentration of 0.3mM and induce it at 20°C for 12-16h. Centrifuge at 12000rpm for 5min to collect the bacteria.

[0069] (2) Protein purification

[0070] Add 20mM Tris-HCl to the bacteria to make a concentrated bacterial solution, OD600 = about 20. Ultrasonication 25kHz, power 70-80%, each ultrasonication 3S, stop 6S, ultrasonication for a total of 30min, the solution changes from turbid to clear. Centrifuge at 12000rpm, 10-15min to take the supernatant. Repeat the supernatant through the loaded nickel column (Shenggong, product number NO.A600657) 2-3 times, collect the flow-through; wash the column material with 20mM Tris-HCl 3-5 times (1-3 times the volume of the column material each time) until the dripping solution is clear; wash the column material with 1-2 times the column volume of 0.5M imidazole solution at least 3 times, and collect the eluate in turn. Use 5 times the column volume of 20mM Tris-HCl to wash away the residual 0.5M imidazole solution, and finally save it with 20% alcohol. The washed column material can be reused. Mix the collected protein eluates and then dialyze in pure water.

[0071] (3) SDS-PAGE electrophoresis

[0072] Prepare 10% SDS-PAGE gel (Biyuntian, product number: P0012A)

[0073] Sample preparation and detection: Take 20uL of the protein purification sample and add 5uL of loading buffer for SDS-PAGE detection. The electrophoresis detection results are as follows: Fig.11 shown.

[0074] (4) Protein freeze-drying

[0075] The dialyzed protein solution was placed in a -80 refrigerator until the protein solution was completely solidified, and then placed in a freeze dryer to freeze-dry the protein at a freezing temperature of -55°C and a vacuum degree of 5 Pa. The freeze-dried protein was weighed to finally obtain the purified recombinant spider silk protein powder.

[0076] Example 2 Pretreatment and dispersion of melanin molecules

[0077] The present embodiment involves a melanin molecule pretreatment and dispersion process, which specifically includes the following steps:

[0078] (1) Pretreatment of melanin: The melanin raw material of the present invention is purchased from the microbial fermentation melanin product of Shenzhen Lingzhu Technology Co., Ltd., and the melanin of the present invention also includes but is not limited to melanin extracted from cuttlefish ink extract, mammalian hair extract, microbial fermentation fungi and bacteria. The melanin raw material is added to a NaOH solution with a pH of 10-12 and stirred to dissolve, and then the insoluble impurities in the melanin raw material are removed by centrifugation, and the supernatant melanin solution is freeze-dried to obtain a purified melanin powder for standby use.

[0079] (2) Dispersion of melanin: Prepare a NaOH solution with a pH of 10-12 in advance, dissolve and disperse the melanin powder material purified in the above step in the NaOH solution, and stir and disperse overnight for 12 hours.

[0080] (3) Preparation of spinning solution: A wood pulp board with a cellulose content of 99wt%, an ash content of 0.2wt% and an average degree of polymerization of 700 was used as the cellulose raw material. Recombinant spider silk protein raw material was purchased from Shenzhen Lingzhu Technology Co., Ltd. 120g of 50% NMMO solution, 0.128g of propyl gallate, a certain mass of spider silk protein powder and melanin dispersion (concentration of 2.5g / L) were added to the spinning material tank, and sodium hydroxide was added dropwise to make the pH of the solution between 10-12. Stir evenly until there is no obvious insoluble matter, and then add 7.5g of cellulose raw material, wherein the melanin solid content is controlled to be 5wt% of the mass fraction of the cellulose raw material, and the spider silk protein dry powder content is controlled to be consistent with the melanin solid content. The above-mentioned mixed solution was stirred and dissolved at 95°C and 90KPa for 2-3h until a transparent spinning solution was obtained.

[0081] The dissolution and dispersion state of the composite melanin / recombinant spider silk protein lyocell fiber spinning solution was observed under a microscope. The dispersion effects of the spinning solutions of different dissolution processes were compared, and the optimal dissolution process was selected.

[0082] Comparative Example 2

[0083] The difference between this comparative example and Example 2 is that in the (2) melanin dispersion step of a melanin molecule pretreatment and dispersion process, an aqueous solution with pH = 7 is used to disperse the melanin powder, and the other preparation processes and testing methods are exactly the same as those in Example 2.

[0084] Comparative Example 3

[0085] The difference between this comparative example 3 and example 2 is that in the melanin dispersion step (2) of the melanin molecule pretreatment and dispersion process, a NaOH solution with a pH of 10-12 is used to dissolve the melanin, but the overnight dispersion operation for 12 hours is not performed. The other preparation processes and testing methods are exactly the same as those of example 2.

[0086] Figure 7 and Figure 8 The following are the actual pictures of Example 2, Comparative Examples 2 and 3 and the pictures of their spinning solutions under a microscope. Figure 7 As can be seen from the actual picture, in Comparative Example 2, after using a PH=7 aqueous solution to disperse the melanin powder, a mixed solution with obvious stratification was obtained, indicating that a PH=7 aqueous solution is not conducive to the dispersion of melanin; in Example 2, after using a PH=10-12 NaOH solution to dissolve the melanin, a uniformly dispersed mixed solution was obtained, indicating that the alkaline solution used in the present invention is more conducive to the dispersion of melanin. Figure 8 The microscopic image of the spinning solution shows that after the dispersion used in Comparative Example 2 is made into spinning solution, there are a large number of obvious large particle aggregates under the microscope; in Comparative Example 3, a NaOH solution with a pH of 10-12 is used to dissolve the melanin but is not stirred and dispersed overnight. After the dispersion is made into spinning solution, there are still a small amount of particles under the microscope; in Example 2, a NaOH solution with a pH of 10-12 is used to dissolve the melanin and is stirred and dispersed overnight. The spinning solution under the microscope is transparent and has no particles. Example 2, Comparative Examples 2 and 3 illustrate that the present invention uses the method of alkali solution + overnight stirring and dispersion to obtain a uniformly dispersed melanin solution, which is very beneficial to the subsequent preparation of spinning solution and spinning.

[0087] Example 3 Preparation of composite microbial melanin molecule lyocell fiber

[0088] The present embodiment relates to a preparation process of a composite microbial melanin molecule lyocell fiber, which specifically includes the following steps:

[0089] (1) Microbial fermentation extraction of melanin: The melanin raw material is derived from microbial synthesis. Bacillus megaterium ACCC 11107 (purchased from Beijing Biological Collection Center) was cultured in 200 ml LB medium (yeast powder 5 g / L, peptone 10 g / L and sodium chloride 10 g / L, pH 7.0) in a 1L shake flask for 48 h, and the pH was adjusted to 2-3 with 30% sulfuric acid. After ultrasonic disruption, the melanin precipitate was collected by centrifugation at 10000 rpm for 2 min, and the precipitate was soaked in sulfuric acid solution with pH = 3 for 2 h, and the supernatant was removed by centrifugation at 10000 rpm for 2 min. The melanin precipitate was freeze-dried to obtain the melanin raw material used for the test.

[0090] (2) Dispersion of melanin: see Example 2 for the method.

[0091] (3) Preparation of spinning solution: A wood pulp board with a cellulose content of 99 wt%, an ash content of 0.2 wt% and an average degree of polymerization of 700 was used as the cellulose raw material. 120 g of 50% NMMO solution, 0.128 g of propyl gallate and the above melanin dispersion were added to the spinning material tank, and 7.5 g of cellulose raw material was added after stirring evenly, wherein the melanin solid content was controlled to be 1, 5, 10 and 20 wt% of the mass fraction of the cellulose raw material, respectively. The above mixed solution was stirred and dissolved at 95°C and 90 KPa for 2-3 h until the spinning solution had no obvious particles under a microscope, thereby obtaining the spinning solution.

[0092] (4) Preparation of composite melanin molecule Lyocell fiber: Add the spinning solution to the spinning system, and filter and degassing at high temperature, then transport the spinning solution to the spinneret through a metering pump for dry-jet wet spinning. The spinning needle aperture is 0.3 mm, the spinning speed is controlled to be 30 m / min, the air gap is 20 mm, and the coagulation bath is a sulfuric acid solution with a pH of 3 at room temperature. The high-viscosity spinning solution is vertically pulled and stretched into the coagulation bath after passing through the air section. As the NMMO in the spinning solution is displaced to form a fiber bundle, the melanin molecules in the fiber encounter the acidic coagulation bath and are solidified inside the fiber, and the composite melanin Lyocell fiber is initially obtained. The fiber is immersed in an acetic acid solution with a pH of 3 at room temperature for 10 minutes to further solidify the melanin, and then repeatedly washed with cold and hot water to remove the residual NMMO and acetic acid, followed by oiling, drying and cutting to obtain the final composite melanin Lyocell fiber.

[0093] The obtained composite melanin lyocell fiber was subjected to mechanical property tests, and its dry breaking strength, dry breaking elongation and other properties were tested in accordance with GB / T14337-2022.

[0094] Comparative Example 4

[0095] The difference between Comparative Example 4 and Example 3 is that no melanin is added during the preparation process of the composite melanin lyocell fiber, and the other preparation processes and testing methods are exactly the same as those of Example 3.

[0096] Table 1 Mechanical data of Example 3 and Comparative Example 4

[0097]

[0098] The mechanical properties test results of Example 3 and Comparative Example 4 are shown in Tables 1 and Figure 1 As shown in the figure, the strength and elongation of Lyocell fibers compounded with melanin have been significantly improved to varying degrees. The strength of 20% melanin fiber has increased by 48.97% compared to the control fiber. This is because the multi-hydroxy structure of melanin interacts with the hydroxyl group of cellulose polysaccharide, thus providing the fiber with excellent mechanical properties. Fig. 9 shown.

[0099] Example 4 Preparation of Lyocell Fiber Composited with Cuttlefish Ink Melanin and Recombinant Spider Silk Protein

[0100] The present embodiment relates to a preparation process of a lyocell fiber composited with cuttlefish ink melanin and recombinant spider silk protein, which specifically comprises the following steps:

[0101] (1) Melanin extraction: Melanin is extracted from cuttlefish ink powder, which is purchased from Henan Zhongda Hengyuan Biotechnology Co., Ltd. 5 g of ink powder was placed in 30 mL of concentrated hydrochloric acid and reacted at 48-50°C for 30 min. Then, the melanin precipitate was collected by centrifugation at 10,000 rpm for 2 min, and the precipitate was soaked in a sulfuric acid solution with a pH of 3 for 2 h. The supernatant was removed by centrifugation at 10,000 rpm for 2 min, and the melanin precipitate was freeze-dried to obtain the melanin raw material used in the test.

[0102] (2) Dispersion of melanin: The preparation steps of melanin dispersion are the same as those in Example 3.

[0103] (3) Preparation of spinning solution: The steps for preparing the spinning solution are the same as those in Example 3, except that the solid content of melanin added is controlled to be 1, 5, 10 and 20 wt% of the mass fraction of the cellulose raw material, and recombinant spider silk protein dry powder is added at a ratio consistent with the solid content of melanin, i.e., 1, 5, 10 and 20 wt% of recombinant spider silk protein.

[0104] (4) Preparation of lyocell fiber containing composite melanin and recombinant spider silk protein: The spinning steps are the same as those in Example 3, except that the spinning solution is a mixed spinning solution of melanin / recombinant spider silk protein.

[0109]

[0110]
