Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of biotechnology, and mainly relates to CYP450 enzymes related to the biosynthesis of cyclic bisbenzylisoquinoline alkaloids, their biological materials and applications. Background Art

[0002] Cytochrome P450 is a heme-containing membrane protein that widely exists in various organisms. Cytochrome P450 can catalyze various types of reactions, such as hydroxylation, epoxidation, isomerization, dealkylation, etc., but the C-O or C-C phenol coupling catalyzed by P450 is a relatively rare reaction. In recent years, with the popularization of the third-generation sequencing technology and the enrichment of high-throughput screening methods, more and more P450s in the biosynthesis pathways of plant secondary metabolites have been reported.

[0003] The secondary metabolites of plants are the effective components of many plant-derived traditional Chinese medicines. However, with the rapid growth of demand, the limited plant resources and relatively low production efficiency will not be able to meet the needs of the people.

[0004] Stephania tetrandra is a perennial vine of the genus Stephania in the Menispermaceae family. Its roots are the plant source of the traditional Chinese medicine Stephaniae Tetrandrae Radix, which has the effects of dispelling wind and relieving pain, promoting diuresis and reducing edema, etc. Tetrandrine is a bisbenzylisoquinoline alkaloid and the main active ingredient of Stephania tetrandra. Tetrandrine is a calcium ion antagonist that affects the transmembrane transport of calcium ions and has good therapeutic effects in the treatment of silicosis, pulmonary fibrosis, etc., and has pharmacological effects such as protecting liver cells, anti-hepatic fibrosis, and anti-tumor.

[0005] The main active ingredient of Stephania tetrandra, tetrandrine, is a bisbenzylisoquinoline alkaloid. Existing studies believe that the upstream pathway of the tetrandrine biosynthesis pathway is the same as that of other benzylisoquinoline alkaloids such as morphine, starting from tyrosine and catalyzed by decarboxylase, hydroxylase, transaminase, norcoclaurine synthase, norcoclaurine-6-O-methyltransferase, and coclaurine-N-methyltransferase to form the intermediate compound (S)-N-methylcoclaurine. Bisbenzylisoquinoline alkaloids also require the catalysis of CYP450 to undergo a second C-O coupling to form cyclic bisbenzylisoquinoline alkaloids, and finally complete the post-modification through methyltransferase to form different bisbenzylisoquinoline alkaloids. However, the CYP450 catalyzing the cyclization reaction has not been reported. Summary of the Invention

[0067] In the above method, the coding gene of the protein may be first modified as follows and then introduced into the target plant to achieve a better expression effect:

[0068] 1) Connecting with promoters expressed in various plants to facilitate its expression in plants; the promoters may include constitutive, inducible, temporal regulation, developmental regulation, chemical regulation, tissue-preferred and tissue-specific promoters; the selection of promoters will vary with the time and space requirements of expression and also depends on the target species; for example, tissue- or organ-specific expression promoters depend on the developmental stage of the receptor as needed; although many promoters derived from dicotyledonous plants have been proven to be functional in monocotyledonous plants and vice versa, ideally, dicotyledonous plant promoters are selected for expression in dicotyledonous plants and monocotyledonous plant promoters are selected for expression in monocotyledonous plants;

[0069] 2) Connecting with suitable transcription terminators can also improve the expression efficiency of the gene of the present invention; for example, tml derived from CaMV and E9 derived from rbcS; any available terminator known to be functional in plants can be connected to the gene of the present invention;

[0070] 3) Introducing enhancer sequences, such as intron sequences (e.g., derived from Adhl and bronzel) and viral leader sequences (e.g., derived from TMV, MCMV, and AMV).

[0071] The above-mentioned protein and / or the above-mentioned biological material also fall within the protection scope of the present invention. The present invention has carried out functional identification on a CYP450 in Stephania tetrandra through methods such as gene screening, heterologous expression, in vitro enzymatic reaction and product detection. This enzyme can catalyze the second-step C-O coupling reaction of bisbenzylisoquinoline alkaloids to form cyclized bisbenzylisoquinoline alkaloids. When this CYP450 and CYP80Q4 are used together to catalyze (S)-coclaurine, the (R,S)-Lindoldhamine produced by CYP80Q4 catalyzing (S)-coclaurine + (R)-coclaurine can further undergo a C-O coupling reaction to be transformed into cyclized bisbenzylisoquinoline alkaloid Bisnorobamegine. In addition, when this enzyme and CYP80Q4 are used together to catalyze the reaction of one molecule of (S)-coclaurine and one molecule of (R)-N-methylcoclaurine, the 2’-norberbamunine formed by CYP80Q4 catalysis can further undergo a C-O coupling reaction to be transformed into cyclized bisbenzylisoquinoline alkaloids 2’-norobamegine and racemosinine A. The Cytochrome P450 Nomenclature Committee named this gene CYP82BC2, and this gene can be applied to the synthetic biological production of cyclized bisbenzylisoquinoline alkaloids and the breeding research of Stephania tetrandra.

[0111] Example 1. Cloning of CYP82BC2 gene and construction of expression vector

[0112] 1. Cloning of CYP82BC2 gene:

[0113] Through the sequenced Stephania tetrandra genomic data, by methods such as splicing, annotation, and screening, the cDNA sequence of the candidate cytochrome P450 in the alkaloid biosynthesis pathway of Stephania tetrandra was obtained. The primers for the candidate cytochrome P450 were designed using the bioinformatics software DNAMAN. The primers were synthesized by Beijing Ribobio Co., Ltd., and the primer sequences were:

[0114] Forward primer: 5’-ATGATGATCGAGATCCAAAATT-3’

[0115] Reverse primer: 5’-TCAGGAAGAAGGAAGCCG-3’

[0116] Take the rhizomes of the Stephania tetrandra plants with vigorous growth, extract the total RNA using the RNAprep Pure Polysaccharide and Polyphenol Plant Total RNA Extraction Kit (Tiangen, DP441), perform reverse transcription using the reverse transcription kit to obtain cDNA, and use the cDNA as a template to amplify the gene sequence of CYP82BC2 to obtain the amplification product.

[0117] Perform agarose gel electrophoresis on the amplification product, and a specific band appears near about 1500 bp. Recover the band from the gel, ligate the recovered product to the Blunt Zero Cloning Vector (TransGen Biotech, CB501-01) and transform the Escherichia coli competent cells Trans1-T1 (TransGen Biotech, CD501-02). Pick positive clones for sequencing (Beijing Novogene Bioinformatics Technology Co., Ltd.), and select and preserve the monoclonal colonies containing the CDS sequence of the CYP82BC2 gene (shown as Sequence 1 in the Sequence Listing) for the construction of the subsequent expression vector. The amino acid sequence of the cytochrome P450 enzyme CYP82BC2 is Sequence 2 in the Sequence Listing.

[0118] 2. Construction of the CYP82BC2 recombinant vector

[0119] Design primers with BamHⅠ restriction sites as follows:

[0120] Primer F: 5’-AGGAGAAAAAACCCCGGATCCATGATGATCGAGATCCAAAATT-3’

[0121] Primer R: 5’-AGTGAGTCGTATTACGGATCCTCAGGAAGAAGGAAGCCG-3’

[0122] Using the primer pair, the ORF of CYP82BC2 was amplified with the cDNA of the rhizome of Stephania tetrandra plants as a template to obtain an amplification product. The amplification product was ligated to the pESC-URA expression vector using seamless splicing technology (seamless splicing enzyme: TransGen Company, Basic Seamless Cloning and Assembly Kit CU201) to obtain the recombinant expression vector pESC-ura-CYP82BC2. The recombinant vector pESC-ura-CYP82BC2 was transformed into Escherichia coli competent cells Trans1-T1. Positive clone strains were screened through solid LB medium containing 50 mg / mL sodium ampicillin (formula: 1.0% Tryptone, 0.5% Yeast Extract, 1.0% NaCl, 1.5% Agar, the rest is sterile water, add filter-sterilized sodium ampicillin before autoclaving and cooling). Positive monoclonal strains were picked into liquid LB medium containing 50 mg / mL sodium ampicillin (formula: 1.0% Tryptone, 0.5% Yeast Extract, 0.5% NaCl, the rest is sterile water, add sterilized sodium ampicillin after autoclaving and cooling) for shaking culture.

Positive monoclonal colonies were picked and inoculated into 10 mL of uracil-deficient liquid medium (Phygene, 8 g / L, containing 2% glucose), and cultured at 30 °C and 200 rpm for 48 hours. Then, they were inoculated into 100 mL of uracil-deficient liquid medium according to an inoculation ratio of 1:20, and cultured at 30 °C and 200 rpm for 24 hours. The supernatant was removed by centrifugation at 6000 g, and the cells were resuspended with 100 mL of YPL medium (1% Yeast extract, 2% peptone, 2% galactose, and the rest was sterile water, sterilized by high temperature), and then continued to be cultured at 30 °C and 200 rpm for 12 hours to obtain the culture solutions of recombinant yeast (WAT11 / pESC-ura-CYP82BC2) and recombinant yeast (WAT11 / pESC-ura-CYP80Q4) respectively. At the same time, the pESC-URA empty plasmid was transformed into the competent cells of Saccharomyces cerevisiae WAT11 to obtain the culture solution of recombinant empty yeast (WAT11 / pESC-URA).

[0144] 1) The culture solutions of recombinant yeast (WAT11 / pESC-ura-CYP82BC2), recombinant yeast (WAT11 / pESC-ura-CYP80Q4), and recombinant empty yeast (WAT11 / pESC-URA) were centrifuged at 6500 g for 10 min to collect the cells. The supernatant was discarded, and the cells were inverted on absorbent paper for several seconds. Then, 10 mL of TEK (50 mM Tris-HCl, 1 mM EDTA, 100 mM KCl, pH 7.5, and the rest was water) (1 / 10 of the volume of YPL) was added to resuspend the cells, and then the cells were placed at room temperature for 5 min;

[0145] 2) Centrifuge at 6500 g for 10 min, and resuspend the cells with 100 mL of TESB (50 mM Tris-HCl, 1 mM EDTA, 600 mM D-sorbitol, and the rest was water, pH 7.5) (equal volume to YPL), and then place them on ice;

[0146] 3) The cell suspension was broken on a homogenizer (the condensed water was pre-cooled to 2 °C in advance) at a pressure of more than 1000 bar for 15 - 20 times until the cell suspension became milky and turbid; after each break, wait for the temperature to drop back to 2 °C before breaking the next bottle;

[0147] 4) Centrifuge the bacterial solution at 12,000 rpm for 20 min at 4°C, pour the supernatant into a bottle containing 10 g of PEG4000 and 0.88 g of NaCl, and incubate on ice for 15 - 30 min, shaking 3 - 5 times during this period until all the solids are dissolved;

[0148] 5) Centrifuge at 12,000 rpm for 20 min at 4°C, discard the supernatant, invert it on absorbent paper for a few seconds and then place it on ice;

[0149] 6) Add 1000 μL of TEG (50 mM Tris - HCl, 1 mM EDTA, 20% (v / v) glycerol, pH 7.5), pipette evenly to obtain the microsome extracts of recombinant yeast (WAT11 / pESC - ura - CYP82BC2), recombinant yeast (WAT11 / pESC - ura - CYP80Q4) and recombinant empty - vector yeast (WAT11 / pESC - URA) respectively, and store at - 80°C or directly use for enzymatic reactions. The microsome extract of recombinant yeast (WAT11 / pESC - ura - CYP82BC2) contains CYP82BC2 protein (the amino acid sequence is sequence 2 in the sequence listing), and the microsome extract of recombinant yeast (WAT11 / pESC - ura - CYP80Q4) contains CYP80Q4 protein (the amino acid sequence is sequence 4 in the sequence listing).

[0153] The substrates were divided into two groups, with two compounds in each group, and 20 μM of each was added. After the reaction system was prepared, it was placed in a shaker at 30 °C and oscillated at 150 rpm for 2 h. Then, 500 μL of ethyl acetate (Beijing Chemical Works) was added, and ultrasonic extraction was carried out for 30 min. It was placed in a centrifuge and centrifuged at 12,000 g for 20 min.

[0163] (S)-coclaurine + (R)-N-methylcoclaurine → 2’-Norberbamunine.

[0165]

[0166] 6. Combined enzymatic reaction of CYP80Q4 and CYP82BC2 proteins and product extraction:

[0167] 6.1 Combined enzymatic reaction

[0168] The total enzymatic reaction system is 500 μL, containing 100 mM Tris-HCl, 1 mM NADPH (reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate), 5 μM FAD (flavin adenine dinucleotide), 5 μM FMN (flavin mononucleotide), 4 mM G6P (glucose-6-phosphate), 1 U G6PDH (glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase), 2 μM DTT (dithiothreitol), 250 μg CYP80Q4 microsomal protein (microsomal extract of recombinant yeast WAT11 / pESC-ura-CYP80Q4 obtained in Step 4), 250 μg CYP82BC2 microsomal protein (microsomal extract of recombinant yeast WAT11 / pESC-ura-CYP82BC2 obtained in Step 2), and 30 μM substrate.

[0169] Among them, the substrates were also divided into 2 groups: ① (S)-coclaurine, ② (S)-coclaurine + (R)-N-methylcoclaurine. The substrates were two compounds, and 30 μM of each was added. After the reaction system was prepared, it was placed in a shaker at 30 °C and oscillated at 150 rpm for 2 h. Then, 500 μL of ethyl acetate (Beijing Chemical Works) was added, and ultrasonic extraction was carried out for 30 min. It was placed in a centrifuge and centrifuged at 12,000 g for 20 min. The upper organic phase solution was taken, dried in a nitrogen blower, redissolved in 150 μL of methanol (Merck, USA), filtered through a 0.22 μm filter membrane, and then injected into UPLC-QTOF-MS for detection.

[0170] 6.2 Detection of enzymatic reaction products:

[0171] The enzymatic reaction products were detected using an ultra-high performance liquid chromatography quadrupole time-of-flight tandem mass spectrometer UPLC-QTOF-MS. The results showed that compared with the reaction catalyzed by CYP80Q4 alone in step 5, new compounds were generated in the system co-catalyzed by CYP82BC2 and CYP80Q4. According to the mass spectrometry fragmentation rules, nuclear magnetic resonance data, and literature reports (related literature: Chen J, Zhao Q, Si D, Nie A, Wang Y, Deng Z, Wen Y, Chen F, Zhang L, Dong B, Yang J. Comprehensive profiling of Stephania tetrandra (Fangji) by stepwise DFI and NL-dependent structure annotation algorithm-based UHPLC-Q-TOF-MS and direct authentication by LMJ-HRMS. J Pharm Biomed Anal. 2020 Jun 5;185:113225.), it was determined that they were bisbenzylisoquinoline alkaloids formed by the C-O coupling reaction of bisbenzylisoquinoline alkaloids catalyzed by CYP80Q4. The results indicated that CYP82BC2 had the function of catalyzing the formation of cyclized bisbenzylisoquinoline alkaloids. The specific processes of reactions ① and ② are as Figure 6 shown.

[0172] In the enzymatic reaction of Group ① substrates, CYP80Q4 alone catalyzes one molecule of (S)-coclaurine and one molecule of (R)-coclaurine to generate (R,S)-Lindoldhamine ((R,S)-lindoldhamine); CYP82BC2 then catalyzes the C-O coupling of the O on C7’ of (R,S)-lindoldhamine with the C on C8 to generate the cyclized bisbenzylisoquinoline alkaloid Bisnorobamegine (m / z is 567, the chromatogram and mass spectrum are as shown in Figure 7 and Figure 8 shown, the chemical structure diagram is as shown in Figure 11 shown, and the nuclear magnetic resonance results are as shown in Figures 12 - 13 shown);

[0173] In the enzymatic reaction of Group ② substrates, CYP80Q4 catalyzes the C-O coupling of the O atom at the C4’ position of (S)-coclaurine with the C3’ of (R)-N-methylcoclaurine to generate 2’-Norberbamunine; CYP82BC2 then catalyzes the C-O coupling of the O on C7’ of 2’-Norberbamunine with the C on C8 to generate the cyclized bisbenzylisoquinoline alkaloid 2’-Norobamegine (m / z is 581, the chromatogram and mass spectrum are as shown in Figure 9 and Figure 10 ), and at the same time, the product racemosinine A (m / z is 581, the chromatogram and mass spectrum are also as shown in Figure 9 and Figure 10 shown) is also generated by the C-O coupling of the O on C7 with the C on C8’.

[0174] Among them, the chemical structure formula of the cyclized bisbenzylisoquinoline alkaloid Bisnorobamegine is as Formula No. 3 below; the chemical structure formula of the cyclized bisbenzylisoquinoline alkaloid 2’-Norobamegine is as Formula No. 4 below; the chemical structure formula of the cyclized bisbenzylisoquinoline alkaloid racemosinine A is as Formula No. 5 below:
