Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of enzyme engineering, and particularly relates to an engineered protein glutaminase mutant and a method for active secretion expression thereof in Pichia pastoris. Background Art
[0002] Protein glutaminase (PG, EC 3.5.1.44) can specifically hydrolyze glutamine groups on the side chains of proteins or peptides to generate L-glutamic acid and ammonia, and is widely used in the field of modification and processing of plant proteins. After deamidation treatment with PG, the functional properties such as solubility, emulsifying property and foaming property of various plant proteins, such as α-zein, wheat gluten protein, oat protein and coconut protein, are improved. However, the protein glutaminase on the current market has problems such as low specific activity, relatively low yield, and expression in the form of zymogen.
[0003] FBPG is a novel protein glutaminase derived from Flavobacterium sp., and shows stronger deamidation activity towards plant proteins under weakly acidic and high temperature conditions compared with commercially available protein glutaminase (CPPG), and has good industrial application potential. Research shows that the charge properties between an enzyme and a substrate will affect their binding and thus affect the catalytic activity. Therefore, increasing the charge intensity of FBPG may improve its deamidation efficiency.
[0004] Pichia pastoris is the second most commonly used protein expression system after Escherichia coli, and belongs to generally recognized as safe microorganisms (GRAS). Because of its excellent post-translational modification ability and high yield, it is widely used in recombinant protein production. Compared with Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the heterologous protein expression level of Pichia pastoris is 10-100 times higher, and it can carry out N-glycosylation modification on secreted proteins. The metabolic process of Pichia pastoris does not produce by-products such as ethanol, and it is an ideal host for methanol biotransformation and chemical synthesis. Summary of the Invention

[0067] 2.1 Construction of mutant plasmids
[0068] In previous studies, our research group constructed a mutant FBPG enzyme R205K, which improved its enzyme activity to a certain extent. To further enhance its performance, in this example, experiments were conducted on other different mutation sites. Based on the constructed mutant R205K, three sites D161, A203, and Y206 were selected for mutation to construct mutants D161K / R205K (F1), D161H / R205K (F2), A203H / R205K (F3), A203K / R205K (F4), R205K / Y206H (F5), and R205K / Y206K (F6); The primer design and molecular biology experimental methods refer to the steps in 1.2 of Example 1. Using pET22b(+) - FBPG / R225K as the template, mutants F1 - F6 were obtained by PCR amplification with mutant primers.

[0070]
[0071] 2.2 Expression and Identification of Mutants
[0072] Referring to the method in 1.3 of Example 1, the mutant plasmid constructed in 2.1 was transferred into Escherichia coli for expression. The fermentation broth was purified and identified to obtain enzyme solution. The SDS-PAGE identification results are as shown in Figure 1 A; after digestion with trypsin, the leader peptide was removed, as shown in Figure 1 B. The experimental results showed that mutants F3 and F4 were successfully expressed to obtain mutant proteins, while mutants F1, F2, F5, and F6 formed inclusion bodies ( Figure 1 C), and the target protein could not be obtained.
[0073] Referring to the method in 1.4 of Example 1, the enzyme activity of the expressed enzyme solution was detected. The experimental results are as shown in Figure 1 D. The experimental results showed that the specific enzyme activity of mutant F3 reached 15.18 U / mg, which was 9.43 times that of the wild type.
[0074] Example 3 Improving the Expression Level of Mutants by Optimizing Promoters in Pichia pastoris
[0075] 3.1 Construction of Promoter-Related Plasmids
[0076] The promoter sequence was amplified from the Pichia pastoris genome (SAMEA2272385) using primers, and fused by overlap extension PCR in the order of promoter, α-factor secretion signal (AY694418.1), FBPG-F3 (the gene of mutant F3 in Example 2), and AOX1T terminator (Z46231.1:1-354) to construct the FBPG expression cassette. Then the expression cassette was inserted between the upstream and downstream homologous arms of 1000 bp in plasmid pDTEF at the Spe Ⅰ and Apa Ⅰ restriction sites to obtain the expression cassette donor plasmid with different promoters fused to FBPG-F3.
[0077] Table 2 Gene Information of Promoters
[0078]
[0079] 3.2 Shake Flask Fermentation
[0080] Using the promoter donor plasmid prepared in 3.1 as a template, the inserted fragment was amplified using primers DTFX-F and DTFX-R, mixed with the gRNA-Cas9 plasmid pCR-Tg, and then transferred into Pichia pastoris by electroporation to integrate the FBPG expression cassette into the Pichia pastoris genome. Then, the expression and detection were carried out referring to the method in Example 1.
[0081] DTFX-F: 5'-CTATGACCATGATTACGAATTCGAGCT-3';
[0082] DTFX-R: 5'- TGCCTGCAGGTCGACTCTAG-3'.
[0083] The experimental results showed that P DH The driving mutant F3 had the highest expression level, reaching 0.25 U / mL ( Figure 2 in A), and SDS-PAGE and Western blotting analyses also proved that P DH regulated the highest expression level of mutant F3 ( Figure 2 in B and C in 2). These results indicated that the expression effect of P DH was better than that of P AOX1 , P GAP and other common promoters in Pichia pastoris.
[0084] Example 4 Optimizing the residue at the P1' position of the Kex2 cleavage site to improve enzyme activity
[0085] 4.1 Construction of plasmids related to the Kex2 cleavage site
[0086] The FBPG enzyme usually needs to remove the leader peptide with trypsin to activate its activity. To simplify this step, in this example, by introducing the Kex2 cleavage site, its activity can be activated without trypsin treatment after expression. The specific steps are as follows:
[0087] Using the donor plasmid pDTEF-DH-F3 with the DH promoter obtained in Example 3 as the starting plasmid, the Kex2 cleavage site (KREAEA) was inserted between Q121 and K122 of FBPG through the primers Kex2-F / Kex2-R. Then, using this plasmid pDTEF-DH-F3-Kex2 as the template, a mutant primer pair was designed to perform saturation mutagenesis on the P1' site to construct the Kex2 mutant plasmid. The specific mutant amino acids and codons are shown in Table 3.
[0088] Kex2-F: CAGAAACGTGAAGCGGAGGCGAAAGCGAGCAGCTTCGATTTCA;
[0089] Kex2-R: TTTCGCCTCCGCTTCACGTTTCTGGGTGGACACTTTGCGG.
[0090] Table 3 Corresponding table of mutant amino acids and mutant codons at the P1' position of the Kex2 cleavage site
[0091]
[0092] 4.2 Shake flask fermentation
[0093] Referring to the method in 3.2 of Example 3, the Kex2 mutant plasmid constructed in 4.1 was transformed into Pichia pastoris by electroporation, and positive clones were screened for shake flask fermentation and enzyme activity detection. The experimental results are as Figure 4 shown. By introducing a Kex2 cleavage site between the FBPG propeptide and the mature peptide, the expression of active FBPG was successfully achieved. In addition, the results of saturation mutagenesis showed that when the residue at the P1' position of the Kex2 cleavage site was N, the expression level of active FBPG was the highest, reaching 0.16 U / mL. Therefore, the optimal Kex2 cleavage site for FBPG is KRNAEA.
[0094] Example 5 Overexpression of regulatory factors to increase expression level
[0095] 5.1 Construction of regulatory factor overexpression plasmid
[0096] The highly efficient integration site Int6 in Pichia pastoris reported in the reference (J. Gao, J. Xu, Y. Zuo, C. Ye, L. Jiang, L. Feng, L. Huang, Z. Xu, J. Lian, Synthetic biology toolkit for marker-less integration of multigene pathways into Pichia pastoris via CRISPR / Cas9, ACS Synth. Biol. 11 (2022) 623–633. https: / / doi.org / 10.1021 / acssynbio.1c00307.) was used as a template for pCR-Tg, and primers were designed to amplify by PCR to replace the gRNA, obtaining the gRNA-Cas9 plasmid pCR-Int6 (gRNA: 5’-CAACTCGAATTATAGTGGCG-3’). Primers were used to PCR amplify the coding genes of Pbs2 (locus_tag: PAS_chr1-3_0267), Sko1 (locus_tag: PAS_chr1-3_0232), Hot1 (locus_tag: PAS_chr1-1_0149), Hot2 (locus_tag: PAS_chr1-1_0105), and Hog1 (locus_tag: PAS_chr1-1_0165) from the Pichia pastoris genome respectively, and the corresponding regulatory factor expression cassettes were constructed with the AOX1 promoter and the AOX1T terminator. The upstream and downstream 1000 bp of the Int6 integration site were amplified from the Pichia pastoris genome as homologous arms by primers Int6up-F / Int6up-R and Int6down-F / Int6down-R respectively. They were constructed onto the pDTEF vector linearized by primers pDTFX-F / pDTFX-R PCR in the order of upstream homologous arm, regulatory factor expression cassette, and downstream homologous arm by seamless cloning to obtain a series of corresponding regulatory factor donor plasmids.

[0098]
[0099] 5.2 Expression and identification
[0100] Using the regulatory factor donor plasmid prepared in 5.1 as a template, the insertion fragment was amplified using primers DTFX-F and DTFX-R. After mixing with the gRNA-Cas9 plasmid pCR-Int6, it was transferred into Pichia pastoris by electroporation. The FBPG expression cassette was integrated into the Pichia pastoris genome, and Pichia pastoris with overexpressed transcription factors was screened. Subsequently, it was made into competent cells, and then the FBPG-F3-Kex2-E124N expression cassette was integrated into the Pichia pastoris genome according to the method described in 3.1, and expression and detection were carried out according to the method in Example 1.
[0101] The experimental results showed that overexpression of Sko1, Pbs2, and Hot1 promoted the expression of FBPG-F3. When Sko1 was overexpressed, the expression level of F3 increased by 1.5 times, and the proportion of active F3 increased to 60% ( Figure 5 ). Therefore, the strain X33-Sko1 / F3-Kex2-E124N corresponding to Sko1 overexpression was selected as the optimal strain for FBPG production.
[0102] Example 6 Bioreactor Cultivation
[0103] Pichia pastoris was amplified in a 7 L fermenter to produce FBPG. The seed liquor cultured for 16 h was inoculated into a 7 L fermenter containing 3 L of BSM medium at an inoculation amount of 10% (v / v). The fermentation temperature was controlled at 30 °C, the aeration rate was 6 L / min, and the dissolved oxygen was controlled at 30% by adjusting the rotation speed. After 20 h of fermentation, glycerol containing 12 mL / L PMT1 was added at a rate of 25 mL / h until the wet weight reached 180 g / L. Subsequently, Pichia pastoris was starved for 0.5 h and the temperature was reduced to 25 °C. Then, methanol containing 12 mL / L PMT1 was added for induced fermentation for 120 h, with a flow rate of 5 mL / h from 0 to 4 h and a flow rate of 12 mL / h from 4 to 120 h. Samples were taken every 24 h for OD 600 、wet weight, and enzyme activity analysis.
[0104] The experimental results showed that when the strain X33-Sko1 / F3-Kex2-E124N was fermented in a 7 L bioreactor, the cell wet weight reached 443 g / L after 144 h, the OD 600 value reached 431, the expression level of active F3 was 2610 U / L, and FBPG-F3 in the bioreactor was completely expressed in the active form ( Figure 6 ).
