Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of phosphatase, in particular to tagatose-6-phosphate phosphatase and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Tagatose (D-Tagatose) is a rare, naturally occurring monosaccharide, the ketose form of galactose and a diastereomer of fructose. Its sweetness is similar to that of sucrose, but with only one-third the caloric content, earning it the nickname "low-calorie sweetener." Tagatose boasts excellent nutritional properties, including low caloric value, a zero glycemic index, blood sugar-lowering properties, a non-caries-causing effect, prebiotic properties, and antioxidant activity.

[0003] Tagatose production methods primarily include chemical synthesis and biosynthesis. Chemical synthesis uses D-galactose as a raw material. Under the catalysis of alkaline or alkaline earth metals, an isomerization reaction occurs, generating a metal hydroxide and a D-tagatose complex intermediate precipitate. This intermediate is then neutralized with acid to yield D-tagatose. While chemical synthesis is a cost-effective method for producing D-tagatose, it requires high temperature and high pressure during production and is prone to the formation of miscellaneous sugars such as sorbose and mannose, which are difficult to separate and purify. Furthermore, its application is limited by high energy consumption, complex products, difficulty in purification, numerous side reactions, and chemical pollution. Therefore, the production of tagatose using polysaccharides such as maltose and sucrose as raw materials using a phosphorylation-dephosphorylation multienzyme catalytic system is of great significance.

[0004] Currently, researchers have selected low-cost raw materials such as lactose, maltodextrin, and milk whey as substrates to produce tagatose using a multi-enzyme synthesis pathway. In 2022, Dai Yiwei et al. [1] constructed a multi-enzyme synthesis pathway consisting of α-glucan phosphorylase (αGP), phosphoglucomutase (PGM), glucose 6-phosphate isomerase (PGI), D-tagatose 1,6-bisphosphate aldolase (GatZ) and phosphoglycolate phosphatase (PGP). Using 10g / L maltodextrin as substrate, the reaction was carried out for 3h to obtain 3.383g / L D-tagatose, with a conversion rate of 33.83g / L [2]. Literature reports that the activity of the phosphatase (AfT6PP) from A. fulgidus is higher than that of other enzymes in the in vitro synthesis pathway of D-tagatose[3]. Patent CN106399427A uses AfT6PP as the last step of the multi-enzyme synthesis pathway. A one-pot reaction is carried out using 100g / L starch treated with starch hydrolyzing enzyme as the substrate. After 40 hours, 73g / L of tagatose can be produced, with a conversion rate of 73%. However, there is still a need to develop new tagatose-6-phosphate phosphatases to solve the problem of low utilization value in actual industrial production.

[0042] The technical solutions of the present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to specific embodiments. It should be understood that the following embodiments are merely illustrative and explanations of the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention. All technologies implemented based on the above content of the present invention are encompassed within the scope of protection that the present invention is intended to protect.

[0043] Unless otherwise specified, the raw materials and reagents used in the following examples are commercially available or can be prepared by known methods.

[0044] T m The Tm value refers to the midpoint temperature of protein thermal denaturation (melting temperature), that is, the temperature at which the protein unfolds 50%. The Tm value is often used to evaluate the stability and thermal decomposition of proteins.

[0045] Km is the concentration of the substrate at which the initial rate of an enzyme reaction is half Vmax. Under certain conditions, it can be used to indicate the affinity of an enzyme for its substrate. A larger Km value indicates a lower affinity for the enzyme; conversely, a smaller Km value indicates a higher affinity for the enzyme.

[0046] Vmax represents the maximum reaction rate at a certain amount of enzyme, that is, the reaction rate when the enzyme is completely saturated with substrate, and is proportional to the enzyme concentration.

[0047] kcat is known as the catalytic constant, turnover number, or turnover number of an enzyme. It refers to the total number of substrate molecules converted into product by one enzyme molecule per unit time. The unit of kcat is s⁻¹. If an enzyme obeys the Michaelis-Menten equation, then kcat = k² = Vmax / Et.

[0048] In the present invention, T6PP-7 and TsPase are used interchangeably and both represent tagatose-6-phosphate phosphatase.

[0049] Example 1 Gene mining and cloning of tagatose-6-phosphate phosphatase

[0050] Using the amino acid sequence of AfT6PP from A. fulgidus as a template, we searched the Uniprot non-redundant protein sequence database using the Blastp function, and selected and downloaded the top 120 sequences with the highest sequence identity. We used MEGA to perform multiple sequence alignment and deleted alignment gaps. We constructed a phylogenetic tree of the remaining sequences using the neighbor-joining method ( Figure 1A novel gene, A0A101X5R5_9CREN, from Thermoproteus sp. CIS_19, which is closely related to the template sequence AfT6PP (PGP_ARCFU), was selected as a candidate gene (its amino acid sequence is shown in SEQ ID NO: 1). A0A101X5R5_9CREN was named T6PP-7 and has a theoretical molecular weight of 23.3 kDa.

[0051] The tagatose-6-phosphate phosphatase gene A0A101X5R5_9CREN was synthesized by the Tianjin Institute of Industrial Biotechnology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, and ligated into the pET-28a(+) vector (New England Biolabs). The gene was then transformed into Escherichia coli BL21 Gold (DE3). Positive clones were screened and cultured on LB plates containing kanamycin resistance. The plasmid was extracted and sequenced to confirm the successful construction of the vector, which was named pET28a-TsPase.

[0052] Example 2 Expression of tagatose-6-phosphate phosphatase

[0053] Positive bacteria were picked with an inoculation needle and inoculated into 5 mL of LB medium. The cells were cultured at 37°C and 220 rpm for 12 hours. Subsequently, a 1% (v / v) inoculum was inoculated into 20 mL of LB medium and cultured at 37°C and 220 rpm. When the OD600 reached 0.6-0.8, IPTG was added to a final concentration of 0.1 mM to induce expression. Expression conditions were low-temperature induction at 20°C and 220 rpm for 24 hours. The cells were then harvested and disrupted, and the supernatant was obtained by centrifugation.

[0054] Purification was performed using a Ni-NAT pre-loaded gravity column. The protein purification column was first balanced with a phosphate buffer containing 50mmol / L imidazole (50mmol / LNaH2PO4, 300mmol / L NaCl, adjusted to pH=8 with sodium hydroxide), and then the collected crude enzyme solution was filtered through a 0.22μm filter membrane and loaded onto the column to allow the protein to fully bind to the column material. The filler was then washed with a phosphate buffer containing 50mmol / L imidazole (50mmol / L NaH2PO4, 300mmol / L NaCl, adjusted to pH=8 with sodium hydroxide) to remove impurities. Finally, the solution was eluted with a phosphate buffer containing 250mmol / L imidazole (250mmol / L NaH2PO4, 300mmol / L NaCl, adjusted to pH=8 with sodium hydroxide). The purification effect was detected and analyzed by SDS-PAGE, and the enzymatic properties of the purified enzyme solution were studied by testing the protein concentration using Bradford. The results are shown in the figure below. Figure 2The results show that T6PP-7, compared to the pET28a empty vector, exhibits a distinct specific band at less than 25 kDa, consistent with the theoretical molecular weight of T6PP-7 (23.3 kDa). Therefore, T6PP-7 is confirmed to be soluble in E.coil BL21 (DE3). Purification using a prepacked gravity column yielded a high-purity T6PP-7 enzyme for subsequent characterization.

The activity at the highest yield was set as 100%, and the catalytic activity for different substrates was compared to determine its substrate spectrum. The results are shown in Figure 2. Figure 3 shown.

[0060] The specific detection methods are as follows:

[0061] Mobile phase: 5 mM H2SO4; column: 87H; column temperature: 60°C; flow rate: 0.6 mL / min.

The product yield was measured to determine its enzyme activity. A curve of enzyme activity versus temperature was drawn to determine the optimal reaction temperature of T6PP-7. The results are shown in Figure 2. Figure 4 The results show that the enzyme activity of T6PP-7 in catalyzing the conversion of tagatose-6-phosphate to tagatose increases with increasing temperature between 40°C and 70°C, reaching its maximum at 70°C.

Figure 5 The results show that the enzyme activity of T6PP-7 in catalyzing the conversion of tagatose-6-phosphate to tagatose increases with increasing pH between pH 2 and 4, reaching its maximum at pH 4. The enzyme activity then decreases with increasing pH. The optimal reaction pH for T6PP-7 is 4.

[0067] Referring to the reaction system in step 1, prepare 2+ Mg 2+ 、Zn 2+ 、Ni 2+ 、Co 2+ 、Mn 2+ The optimal metal ion for T6PP-7 was determined by adding different metal ions to the reaction system at a final concentration of 5 mM. The product yield was measured to determine the effect of metal ions on enzyme activity. The activity at the highest product yield was set as 100%, and the catalytic activity of T6PP-7 with different metal ions was analyzed. The results are shown in Figure 2. Figure 6 As shown in the results, tagatose-6-phosphatase is an enzyme that depends on metal ions, Mg 2+ The strongest activation factor for T6PP-7 enzyme activity was Mn. 2+ Therefore, the optimal metal ion for T6PP-7 to catalyze the conversion of tagatose-6-phosphate to tagatose is Mg. 2+ .
