Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of enzyme engineering, in particular to a glucose isomerase mutant and application thereof. Background Art
[0002] Fructose is an important functional sweetener widely used in the food, beverage, and pharmaceutical industries. Compared to sucrose, fructose offers advantages such as increased sweetness, lower calories, and resistance to crystallization. It is particularly suitable for the development of low-calorie foods and foods for diabetic patients, and has significant application value in the functional food sector.
[0003] Fructose production methods primarily include chemical synthesis and enzymatic methods. Chemical synthesis involves the isomerization of glucose under strong acid, strong base, and high temperature conditions. While the process is relatively simple, it suffers from drawbacks such as high energy consumption, low product purity, numerous byproducts, and severe environmental pollution. Furthermore, the product quality often fails to meet food-grade standards. Enzymatic methods, on the other hand, offer advantages such as mild reaction conditions, strong specificity, high product purity, and environmental friendliness, meeting current requirements for green chemistry and sustainable development.
[0004] Glucose isomerase is one of the most important industrial enzymes in fructose production, catalyzing the isomerization of glucose to fructose. However, the currently used wild-type glucose isomerase suffers from poor thermal and pH stability, as well as low fructose conversion efficiency, limiting its application in industrial production.

[0022] Example 1: Amplification of the glucose isomerase gene XAA
[0023] Based on the information of the glucose isomerase gene XAA from Xanthomonas axonopodis included in Genebank (the gene sequence is shown in SEQ ID NO: 1, and the amino acid sequence is shown in SEQ ID NO: 2), the total genomic DNA of the bacteria was extracted using a rapid nucleic acid extractor. Using the genomic DNA as a template, PCR amplification was performed under the action of primer 1 (shown in SEQ ID NO: 33, 5'-gggtttcatatgagcaacacc-3') and primer 2 (shown in SEQ ID NO: 34, 5'-ccgctcgagtcaacgcgtcag-3'). The PCR reaction system (total volume 50 μL) consisted of 5 μL of 10× Pfu DNA Polymerase Buffer, 1 μL of 10 mM dNTP mixture (2.5 mM each of dATP, dCTP, dGTP, and dTTP), 1 μL each of Primer 1 and Primer 2 (both at a concentration of 50 μM), 1 μL of genomic DNA (50 ng / μL), 1 μL of Pfu DNA Polymerase (2 U / μL), and 40 μL of ddH₂O. Using a BioRad PCR instrument, the PCR reaction conditions were: initial denaturation at 95°C for 5 min; 30 cycles of denaturation at 95°C for 30 s, annealing at 65°C for 45 s, and extension at 72°C for 1 min; and a final extension at 72°C for 10 min. The PCR reaction was analyzed by electrophoresis on a 0.9 m / v% agarose gel, and the fragment was purified and recovered to obtain the glucose isomerase gene XAA.
[0024] Example 2: Construction of recombinant Escherichia coli expressing glucose isomerase gene XAA
[0025] 1. Obtaining the recombinant plasmid pET28a-XAA
[0026] The XAA gene sequence was obtained. After accurate sequencing, the amplified fragment was treated with Nde I and Xho I restriction endonucleases (TaKaRa), and the fragment was ligated with the commercial vector pET28a treated with the same restriction endonucleases using T4 DNA ligase (TaKaRa) to construct the expression vector pET28a-XAA, i.e., the recombinant plasmid pET28a-XAA.
[0027] 2. Transformation of recombinant plasmid pET28a-XAA into E. coli BL21 (DE3)
[0028] In each tube, 100 μL of E. coli BL21 (DE3) competent cell suspension (OD 600 =0.4-0.6), add 10 μL of recombinant plasmid (i.e., recombinant plasmid pET28a-XAA, concentration 10 ng / μL), mix gently, and let it stand in an ice bath for 30 minutes. Transfer to a 42°C water bath and heat shock for 90 seconds. Quickly transfer to an ice bath and cool for 3 minutes. Add 700 μL of LB liquid medium (LB liquid medium formula: 10 g / L peptone, 5 g / L yeast extract, 10 g / L NaCl, pH 7.0; the same below) to each tube and incubate at 37°C, 100 rpm on a shaker for 1 hour. After incubation, centrifuge the bacterial solution at 3000 rpm for 2 minutes, discard 700 μL of the supernatant, mix the remaining bacterial solution, and spread it onto LB solid medium (LB solid medium formula: 1.5 m / v% agar powder added to the LB liquid medium formula; the same below) containing 50 μg / mL kanamycin sulfate, and incubate inverted at 37°C overnight.
[0029] Selection of positive clones: Four single colonies were selected from the transformation plate and transferred to 5 mL of LB liquid medium containing 50 μg / mL kanamycin sulfate. The cells were cultured at 37°C and 200 rpm for 8 hours. The plasmid was extracted using the Mini-Plasmid Rapid Isolation Kit (Beijing Broadtech Bio-Gene Technology Co., Ltd.). 20 μL of the plasmid was sequenced at Sangon Biotech (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. to verify the correct E. coli BL21(DE3) / pET28a-XAA clone.

[0060] In order to verify the protein expression of recombinant E. coli, the constructed E. coli BL21 (DE3) / pET28a-XAA (H109Q / S154T / V194S), E. coli BL21 (DE3) / pET28a Induction expression was performed on recombinant E. coli BL21(DE3) / pET28a-XAA(H109Q / S154T / V194A), E. coli BL21(DE3) / pET28a-XAA(H109Q / S154T / A277G), E. coli BL21(DE3) / pET28a-XAA(F108K / H109Q / S154T / V194S / A277D), and wild-type E. coli BL21(DE3) / pET28a-XAA. An empty vector (E. coli BL21(DE3) / pET28a, lacking the target gene) was used as a negative control. Recombinant E. coli cells from each treatment were inoculated into 5 mL of LB liquid medium supplemented with 50 μg / mL kanamycin sulfate and cultured overnight at 37°C with shaking at 200 rpm. Transfer 10 mL of culture medium to 1 L of LB liquid medium containing 50 μg / mL kanamycin sulfate and culture at 37°C, 200 rpm, shaking until the OD600 is approximately 0.6-0.8. Add isopropyl-β-D-thiogalactoside to a final concentration of 0.5 mM to the culture medium and induce the culture at 25°C, 200 rpm, shaking for 12 hours. After the induction culture is completed, centrifuge at 12,000 rpm for 10 minutes, discard the supernatant, and collect the bacterial pellet. Dissolve the collected bacterial pellet in PBS buffer (20 mM, pH 7.0) and ultrasonically disrupt for 30 minutes (ultrasonic power of 150 W, ultrasonic frequency of 20 kHz, working time of 2 seconds, rest time of 3 seconds). The disrupted bacteria were centrifuged at 12000 rpm for 40 min, and the supernatant and precipitate were collected separately. Protein expression was detected by SDS-PAGE as follows: 20 μl of supernatant was added to 5 μl of 4×SDS-PAGE loading buffer, mixed and then treated in a boiling water bath for 10 min, with a sample volume of 20 μl; the precipitate was evenly dispersed with PBS buffer (20 mM, pH 7.0) equal to the volume of the supernatant, 20 μl was added to 5 μl of 4×SDS-PAGE loading buffer, mixed and then treated in a boiling water bath for 10 min, with a sample volume of 20 μl. Electrophoresis was performed using a 5 m / v% stacking gel and a 12 m / v% separating gel. The electrophoresis conditions were as follows: the inner tank was a negative electrode buffer (25 mM Tris, 192 mM glycine, 0.1 w / v% SDS), the outer tank was a positive electrode buffer (25 mM Tris, 192 mM glycine, 0.1 w / v% SDS), and the voltage was set to 80 V (stacking gel) and 120 V (separating gel). After electrophoresis, the gel was stained (Coomassie Brilliant Blue R-250) and decolorized to observe protein bands. Clear bands were observed at the corresponding molecular weight for each treatment, indicating that the protein was correctly expressed.

An empty vector (SCK6 / pHCMC04, without the target gene inserted) was used as a negative control. Each recombinant Bacillus subtilis strain was inoculated into 5 ml of LB liquid medium containing 25 μg / ml chloramphenicol and cultured overnight at 37°C with shaking at 200 rpm. 2 ml of culture medium was transferred to 50 ml of 5YC liquid medium (5YC liquid medium formula: 5 g / L yeast extract, 10 g / L peptone, 5 g / L NaCl, 10 g / L glucose, pH 7.0) containing 25 μg / ml chloramphenicol. Culture was shaken at 33°C and 200 rpm for 8 h. Isopropyl-β-D-thiogalactopyranoside was added to the culture medium to a final concentration of 1 mM, and the culture was shaken for another 24 h. After completion of the culture, the cells were centrifuged at 4000 rpm for 10 min, and the supernatant was collected. Protein expression was analyzed by SDS-PAGE as follows: 20 μl of supernatant was added to 5 μl of 4× SDS-PAGE loading buffer, mixed, and incubated in a boiling water bath for 10 min. A 20 μl sample volume was loaded. Electrophoresis was performed using a 5 m / v% stacking gel and a 17 m / v% separating gel. The electrophoresis conditions were as follows: the inner tank was a negative electrode buffer (25 mM Tris, 192 mM glycine, 0.1 w / v% SDS), the outer tank was a positive electrode buffer (25 mM Tris, 192 mM glycine, 0.1 w / v% SDS), and the voltage was set to 80 V (stacking gel) and 120 V (separating gel). After electrophoresis, the gel was stained (Coomassie Brilliant Blue R-250) and decolorized to observe protein bands. Clear bands were observed at the corresponding molecular weight for each treatment, indicating that the protein was correctly expressed.

Wash the collected bacterial precipitate 3 times with pre-cooled physiological saline (0.9w / v% NaCl), centrifuge at 12000 rpm for 5 minutes each time, and discard the supernatant. Finally, collect the bacterial precipitate (wet bacteria). Weigh 2 g of wet cells and add 20 mL of 20 mM Tris buffer (pH 8.0) containing 150 mM NaCl.
