Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a haloalkane dehalogenase, in particular to a haloalkane dehalogenase with high degradation efficiency and high stereoselectivity, and belongs to the technical field of bioremediation and enzyme engineering. Background Art

[0002] Halogenated alkanes are commonly used as chemical solvents, organic synthesis raw materials, and intermediates in chemical production processes. They are also discharged into the environment with chemical waste liquids and wastewater. Halogenated alkanes are also disinfection byproducts generated during water treatment. Due to their high persistence and difficulty in biodegrading, they have been frequently detected in water treatment systems and natural water bodies in recent years. As an emerging class of difficult-to-biodegrade organic pollutants, they pose a serious threat to human health and ecological security. 1,2,3-Tribromopropane (1,2,3-TBP) is a halogenated alkane. As a widely used chemical solvent and industrial byproduct, it is produced in large quantities during chemical production processes and discharged into water bodies with sewage and wastewater, thus becoming an organic pollutant.

[0003] Microbial haloalkane dehalogenases play a crucial role in the biodegradation of haloalkane pollutants, converting toxic, recalcitrant haloalkanes into their corresponding harmless alcohols through hydrolysis. However, existing haloalkane dehalogenases have low efficiency for 1,2,3-tribromopropane (TBP), hindering their application in complex wastewater environments. Furthermore, the low stereoselectivity of existing haloalkane dehalogenases hinders the further transformation and complete degradation of 1,2,3-TBP within the metabolic pathway. Summary of the Invention

[0004] Purpose of the invention: The purpose of the present invention is to provide a haloalkane dehalogenase mutant that has high degradation efficiency for the substrate 1,2,3-tribromopropane and high stereoselectivity for the product (R)-2,3-dibromo-1-propanol ((R)-2,3-dibromopropan-1-ol, abbreviated as (R)-DBP).

[0005] Technical solution: The present invention provides a haloalkane dehalogenase mutant, the amino acid sequence of which is shown in SEQ ID NO.4.

The nucleotide sequence of this enzyme is shown in SEQ ID NO.1, and the amino acid sequence is shown in SEQ ID NO.2. Its crystal structure and catalytic molecular mechanism have been fully elucidated. Haloalkane dehalogenases belong to the α / β hydrolase fold family and possess a core domain containing the Asp-His-Asp / Glu catalytic triad and a variable, predominantly helical cap domain that provides essential residues for selectivity. Haloalkane dehalogenase DhaA31 catalyzes the conversion of 1,2,3-tribromopropane to the racemic enantiomer (R,S)-2,3-dibromo-1-propanol. 1,2,3-Tribromopropane is a difficult-to-degrade halogenated hydrocarbon pollutant. The natural haloalkane dehalogenase DhaA31 has low degradation efficiency for 1,2,3-tribromopropane and poor stereoselectivity for (R)-2,3-dibromo-1-propanol.

[0007] Based on the molecular mechanism of haloalkane dehalogenase catalysis, the present invention transforms the key amino acids in the active center of the haloalkane dehalogenase through directed evolution and semi-rational design methods. By using site-directed saturation mutagenesis, iterative saturation mutagenesis and directed screening, it is found that when the phenylalanine at position 168 of the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO.2 is mutated to tryptophan (F168W) and the isoleucine at position 246 is mutated to cysteine ​​(I246C), the resulting haloalkane dehalogenase mutant F168W / I246C has high catalytic activity and high stereoselectivity, can efficiently biodegrade haloalkane pollutants represented by 1,2,3-tribromopropane, and simultaneously produce high-value (R)-2,3-dibromo-1-propanol.

The tube was shaken at 37°C at 150 rpm for 6-8 h. A 1% inoculum was then added to a 2 L Erlenmeyer flask containing 1 L of sterile TB medium containing a final concentration of 100 µg / mL ampicillin. The tube was incubated at 37°C for 12 h. IPTG was then added to a final concentration of 0.5 mM. Expression was induced at 20°C for 16 h. The tube was centrifuged at 4000 rpm for 30 min at 4°C, and the supernatant was discarded to collect the wet cells. The wet cells were resuspended in 20 mL of 50 mM Tris-SO4 (pH 8.5) buffer. The cells were disrupted by sonication at 4°C for 10 min at 65% power (2 s on, 6 s off). The supernatant was then centrifuged at 12,000 rpm for 15 min at 4°C. The protein was purified by affinity chromatography, and the absorbance was measured at A280 using a UV spectrophotometer to calculate the protein concentration. The protein was then diluted with 50 mM Tris-SO4 (pH 8.5) buffer to a protein concentration of 2 µM. 1 mL of the diluted protein solution was transferred to ten 5 mL glass reaction vials. Five of these glass reaction vials were then added with 1,2,3-tribromopropane at final concentrations of 0.5 mM, 2 mM, 5 mM, 10 mM, and 50 mM, respectively. The reaction was incubated at 25°C with magnetic stirring at 400 rpm for 5 min. 500 µL of the reaction solution was extracted with 500 µL of dichloromethane and centrifuged at 12,000 rpm for 1 min. 300 µL of the organic phase was collected and analyzed by gas chromatography. The enzyme reaction rate was measured, and a double reciprocal curve was drawn based on the reciprocal of the reaction rate and substrate concentration to calculate the Michaelis-Menten kinetic parameter. The results showed that the Michaelis-Menten kinetic parameter K of DhaA31 mutant F168W / I246C for 1,2,3-tribromopropane was m and K cat 4.8 mM and 6.2 s, respectively -1 .
