Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a β-glucosidase mutant and its application in the preparation of oligogentisoses, belonging to the fields of enzyme engineering and functional oligosaccharide preparation technology. Background Technology

[0002] β-glucosidase is a glycoside hydrolase that specifically hydrolyzes the non-reducing terminal β-D-glucosidic bond of a substrate, releasing glucose and the corresponding ligand. Furthermore, β-glucosidase also possesses transglycosylation activity, enabling the synthesis of oligosaccharides with higher degrees of polymerization from monosaccharides or oligosaccharides, thus it is commonly used in the preparation of gentian oligosaccharides. According to current research, the catalytic mechanism of β-glucosidase is a retention-type acid-base catalysis mechanism, involving two steps: glycosylation and deglycosylation. In the first step, glycosylation, nucleophilic catalytic residues nucleophilically attack the anomeric carbon, generating a glycosyl-enzyme covalent intermediate complex. In the second step, deglycosylation, acid-base activated water molecules act as nucleophiles, breaking the glycosidic bond and releasing the product glucose and the corresponding ligand. Simultaneously, β-glucosidase can also transfer glycosyl groups to other non-aqueous acceptor ligands during deglycosylation, thereby catalyzing the transglycosylation reaction.

[0003] Gentian oligosaccharides are a class of oligosaccharides composed of glucose units linked by β-1,6 glycosidic bonds, including gentiobiose and small amounts of gentiotriose and gentiotetraose. Compared to other oligosaccharides, gentian oligosaccharides have a unique, mild bitterness that can have a refreshing and invigorating effect, thus finding wide application in products such as candy, chocolate, ice cream, and coffee. Furthermore, it is also a functional oligosaccharide, capable of balancing the intestinal environment and promoting the proliferation of beneficial intestinal bacteria, making it a high-value-added sugar product with significant development potential. As mentioned above, the enzymatic preparation of gentian oligosaccharides utilizes the transglycosidic activity of β-glucosidase, typically using a high concentration of glucose as a substrate. Compared to traditional extraction methods, it offers advantages such as a milder reaction, lower energy consumption, and easier separation, representing the current main trend in production.

[0004] Due to the limited availability of β-glucosidase, the conversion rate of enzymatic preparation of gentiooligosaccharides remains low, thus hindering industrial-scale production in China. There are two main approaches to improving the yield of gentiooligosaccharides: first, increasing the concentration of the reaction substrate and reducing the water activity of the reaction system to decrease hydrolysis and allow for the accumulation of transglycosylation products; second, enhancing the transglycosylation capacity of the enzyme itself, thereby altering the balance between hydrolysis and transglycosylation to significantly improve the yield. Given the limited solubility of glucose and the difficulty in finding novel β-glucosidases suitable for industrial production, using site-directed mutagenesis to improve the enzymatic properties and product specificity of existing β-glucosidases is of great significance for the industrial-scale preparation of gentiooligosaccharides. Summary of the Invention

[0020] Beneficial effects (1) This invention, through the analysis of the source Thermotoga maritima Mutating the β-glucosidase of STB25 alters the enzyme's key active site, transforming the β-glucosidase, which was originally inefficient in acting on glucose substrates, into a mutant with enhanced ability to produce oligogentisose.

[0026] The preferred embodiments of the present invention are described below. It should be understood that the embodiments are for better explanation of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0027] Test method: (1) Method for determining the enzyme activity of β-glucosidase mutants (refer to the following literature: Zhu Qihui, Gao Zexin, He Laping, et al. Screening and identification of β-glucosidase strains producing hydrolyzed ginkgo flavonoid glycosides. China Brewing. 2017;36(9):5.) A 1% (w / v) salicin solution was prepared using a 50 mM, pH 4.8 acetate-sodium acetate solution as the substrate. 900 μL of the solution was placed in a centrifuge tube and preheated at 60 °C for 3 min. Then, 100 μL of enzyme solution diluted to an appropriate concentration was added, and the mixture was stirred thoroughly and reacted for 10 min. Finally, 1 mL of DNS reagent was added, and the mixture was boiled in a water bath for 5 min. The absorbance was measured at 540 nm. The enzyme solution inactivated at high temperature served as a blank control.

[0028] Enzyme activity definition: Under the above conditions, the amount of enzyme required to hydrolyze salicin to produce 1 μmol of reducing sugar (calculated as glucose) per minute is defined as 1 unit of enzyme activity (U).

[0029] (2) Analytical methods for reaction products The sample, diluted to an appropriate ratio, was centrifuged. The supernatant was then filtered through a 0.22 μm aqueous filter membrane. The carbohydrate components of the sample were analyzed using a high-performance anion exchange chromatography system equipped with a pulsed amperometric detector. The analytical conditions were: Thermo Fisher Scientific ICC-5000, CarboPac PA 200 column, gradient elution with 100 mM NaOH and 500 mM NaAc solutions, flow rate 0.5 mL / min, column temperature 35℃, injection volume 10 μL, and external standard method for quantification. The yield of gentiobiose oligosaccharides in the product was calculated as follows: The yield of gentiobiose oligosaccharides = (total mass of gentiobiose oligosaccharides / dry weight of substrate) × 100%.

[0037] Example 1: Preparation of β-glucosidase mutant (1) Based on publicly available data from NCBI Thermotoga maritima The protein sequence of STB25 β-glucosidase was used as a template (SEQ ID NO.1) to construct the vector pP43NMK. The restriction sites NcoI and XhoI were used, with GC bases added at the NcoI restriction site to prevent frameshift. No stop codon was added at the end of the target gene to obtain the recombinant expression vector pP43NMK / tm-bgl.

[0038] (2) Following the steps above, replace plasmid pP43NMK with pHT01, pHT43, and pHCMC05 to obtain recombinant expression vectors pHT01 / tm-bgl, pHT43 / tm-bgl, and pHCMC05 / tm-bgl.

[0039] (3) The recombinant expression vector obtained in the above steps was transformed into Bacillus subtilis WB600, plated on LB plates containing antibiotics, and transformants were picked for sequencing and colony PCR verification to extract the recombinant plasmid containing the β-glucosidase gene. The recombinant plasmid was then transformed into Bacillus subtilis WB600. B. subtilis In WB600, genetically engineered bacteria were obtained.

[0040] (4) Based on the amino acid sequence of the β-glucosidase coding gene shown in SEQ ID NO.1, primers for introducing mutations G343L, G343V, G343H, G343T, G343D, I455A, and A468G were designed and synthesized. Site-directed mutagenesis was performed on the β-glucosidase gene, and the DNA coding sequence was determined. The following mutations were identified: Gly codon at position 343 changed to Leu codon; Gly codon at position 343 changed to Val codon; Gly codon at position 343 changed to His codon; Gly codon at position 343 changed to Thr codon; Gly codon at position 343 changed to Asp codon; Ile codon at position 455 changed to Ala codon; and Ala codon at position 468 changed to Gly codon. The mutant gene was placed in an expression vector and introduced into Bacillus subtilis for expression to obtain a single-mutant β-glucosidase. Using rapid PCR technology, single mutants G343L, G343V, G343H, G343T, G343D, I455A, and A468G were constructed using the recombinant plasmid pP43NMK-tm-bgl as a template. Complementary primer chains required for the experiment were designed (see Table 1). The primers were synthesized by Genewiz Biotechnology Co., Ltd., and site-directed mutagenesis was performed according to the instructions of the TaKaRa STAR Primer GXL kit. To reduce the possibility of PCR errors, the upstream and downstream primers were designed to be complementary only in the middle, with the ends offset.

Figure 1 As shown, the results indicate that both wild-type and mutant β-glucosidase were expressed, and, from Figure 1 The SDS-PAGE electrophoresis results of crude enzyme solutions from wild-type and mutant strains showed that the expression level of mutants was correspondingly increased.

It can be seen that the enzyme activities of G343L, G343V, G343H, and A468G were all increased compared with the wild type. Among them, the enzyme activity of mutant G343H was increased by 220.9% compared with the wild type, while the enzyme activities of mutants G343T and G343D were decreased.

[0056] (3) After enzyme inactivation treatment, the reaction solution was centrifuged at 10,000 rpm for 10 min. The supernatant was diluted to an appropriate ratio and then passed through a 0.22 μm aqueous membrane to remove impurities.
