Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of genetic engineering, and in particular to a D-psicose-3-epimerase mutant and application thereof in synthesizing psicose. Background Art

[0002] D-psicose is a rare naturally occurring ketose with a chemical formula of C 6 H 12 O 6 , which belongs to the C3 diastereomer of D-fructose. Due to its diverse physiological properties, it has become a potential functional ingredient in the pharmaceutical, health care and food industries. D-psicose has high sweetness and low energy, and is considered to be an ideal sweetener and an effective substitute for sucrose. It has 70% of the sweetness of sucrose, but contains only about 0.2 kcal / g of calories. In addition, D-psicose can increase the water holding capacity of food through the Maillard reaction, improve its gelling properties, and produce good flavor during food processing. Therefore, D-psicose has potential commercial uses as a low-calorie sweetener in beverages, baked goods, ice cream and other typical high-calorie products. D-allulose is a new functional factor that is safe, stable and low in calories. In addition to its important application value in food, it also has a variety of unique nutritional and physiological functions: (1) It inhibits blood sugar and can be used as an auxiliary treatment, dietary supplement and sweetener for patients with type 2 diabetes; (2) It lowers blood lipids, reduces the activity of lipase, and inhibits the accumulation of intra-abdominal fat; (3) It has antioxidant activity and has strong reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenging ability and glutathione reducing ability; (4) It has neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory effects, etc.

[0003] The production methods of D-psicose can be divided into two types: chemical synthesis and biosynthesis. The chemical synthesis method has many disadvantages, such as the difficulty in separating and purifying the product, and the generation of a variety of by-products and chemical waste. The biosynthetic method for producing D-psicose is to use specific enzymes produced by microorganisms to specifically catalyze the synthesis of D-psicose from substrates. Due to the higher substrate specificity and mild reaction conditions that provide higher sustainability, enzymatic synthesis of D-psicose has become the first choice. The D-psicose-3-epimerase family is an important biocatalyst for the bioproduction of D-psicose, which can isomerize D-fructose to D-psicose. So far, at least 20 D-psicose-3-epimerases have been screened and identified, but most of them have low catalytic activity for D-fructose and poor thermal stability. Industrial production requires higher temperatures for reaction, which greatly limits the industrial application of bioenzymatic production of D-psicose. Summary of the invention

Reaction conditions: 70 ℃, 500 rpm for 4-6 hours. After the reaction, 20 μL of the sample was taken, diluted 50 times, filtered through a 0.22 μm filter membrane, and HPLC detection was performed. The conversion rate of immobilized BtDAE-M59L-F106S-R188P after 4 h reaction can reach 35.8%, and the enzyme activity can still be maintained above 80% after 10 batches of reaction. The conversion rate of immobilized Spytag-BtDAE-M59L-F106S-R188P-GtXI-SpyCatcher after 6 h reaction can reach 29.5%, and the enzyme activity can still be maintained above 80% after 10 batches of reaction.
