Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of genetic engineering technology, specifically relating to a phospholipase D mutant Lip-Gri / NQ, a plasmid, a recombinant bacterium, and their applications. Background Technology

[0002] Phospholipase D (EC 3.1.4.4) is a class of phosphodiesterases widely found in microorganisms and plants. It catalyzes the hydrolysis of the ester bond between phosphatidic acid and the polar head group in phospholipid molecules, and can also perform transphosphatidyl groups in the presence of alcohol to synthesize novel phospholipids. This enzyme uses calcium ions as a cofactor and is expressed in many actinomycetes and plants. Phospholipase D exhibits good regioselectivity and broad substrate adaptability, acting on a variety of phospholipid substrates, such as phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine, to generate the corresponding phosphatidic acid or modify phospholipids. These characteristics give phospholipase D broad application potential in food processing, pharmaceutical preparation, liposome construction, and functional lipid synthesis.

[0003] Although the synthesis of rare phospholipids catalyzed by phospholipase D has been extensively studied, significant challenges remain in its industrial application, including hydrolytic side reactions, the instability of the free enzyme, and low reusability. To further expand the application of phospholipase D in synthetic biology and industrial catalysis, it is necessary to identify key amino acid residues in its molecule that affect catalytic performance, and then construct phospholipase D mutants with enhanced catalytic activity. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a phospholipase D mutant Lip-Gri / NQ, a plasmid, a recombinant bacterial strain, and their applications. By identifying key amino acid residues in phospholipase D that affect its catalytic performance, the catalytic activity of phospholipase D is improved, laying the foundation for its industrial application.

[0005] This invention is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0006] A phospholipase D mutant, Lip-Gri / NQ, has the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO:1, which is a site-directed mutation at amino acids 123 and 306 compared to wild-type phospholipase D Lip-Gri (GenBank ID: WP_125214065.1).

[0007] Furthermore, the wild-type phospholipase D Lip-Gri is derived from... Streptomyces griseofuscus .

[0008] The present invention also provides a gene encoding the phospholipase D mutant Lip-Gri / NQ, the nucleotide sequence of which is shown in SEQ ID NO.2.

[0009] The present invention also provides a recombinant plasmid carrying the nucleotides shown in SEQ ID NO.2, and the expression vector is preferably pET28a.

[0010] This invention also provides a recombinant engineered strain obtained by transformation containing the above-mentioned recombinant plasmid, wherein the preferred expression host is... E. coli BL21(DE3).

[0011] The present invention also provides applications of the phospholipase D mutant Lip-Gri / NQ, the applications of which include, but are not limited to, using the phospholipase D mutant Lip-Gri / NQ to catalyze the generation of phospholipids into specific conformational functional lipids, including phosphatidylserine.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this invention compared to existing technologies are as follows: Addressing the problem of low catalytic activity in existing phospholipase D enzymes, this invention, based on wild-type phospholipase D Lip-Gri, modifies it through site-directed mutagenesis, resulting in the first double-mutant Lip-Gri / NQ enzyme where aspartic acid at position 123 and glutamic acid at position 306 are mutated to asparagine and glutamine, respectively. The resulting mutant exhibits significantly increased enzyme activity, 11 times that of the wild-type. This double-mutant phospholipase D Lip-Gri / NQ enzyme has significant application value in the generation of specific conformational functional lipids such as phosphatidylserine from phospholipids.

[0017] The method of the present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. However, the experimental conditions used in the embodiments can be selected based on existing technologies. For experimental methods where specific conditions are not specified in the embodiments, they can generally be operated under conventional conditions or according to the conditions recommended by the manufacturer.

[0018] Example 1: Construction of phospholipase D mutant

[0019] Using the plasmid of wild-type phospholipase D Lip-Gri as a template, PCR amplification was performed using primer pairs D123NF, D123NR and E306QF, E306QR in Table 1, respectively, to construct phospholipase D mutants Lip-Gri / 123N and Lip-Gri / 306Q. Compared with wild-type phospholipase D Lip-Gri, Lip-Gri / 123N mutated aspartic acid at position 123 to asparagine, and Lip-Gri / 306Q mutated glutamic acid at position 306 to glutamine.

[0022] Example 2: Detection of hydrolytic activity of phospholipase D single mutant

[0023] The enzyme activity of the two single mutants constructed in Example 1 above was measured and compared with that of wild-type phospholipase D Lip-Gri. The activity of phospholipase D was determined using an enzyme-linked colorimetric assay, specifically as follows: 30 μL of phosphatidylcholine substrate solution (10 mg / mL), 39 μL of potassium dihydrogen phosphate buffer (100 mM, pH 7.0), 20 μL of CaCl2 solution (20 mM), and 1 μL of Tritium X-100 (10%, v / v) solution were added to the reaction system. 10 μL of enzyme solution was added to the reaction system, and the reaction was incubated at 40°C for 20 min, followed by a boiling water bath for 5 min to terminate the reaction. Add 200 μL of colorimetric solution to the cooled reaction solution, mix well, and incubate at 37°C for 60 min for color development. The colorimetric solution is 100 mL Tris-HCl buffer (1 M, pH 8.0) containing 50 U choline oxidase, 100 U horseradish peroxidase, 0.10 g 4-aminoantipyrine, 1.00 g Triton X-100, and 0.05 g phenol. Measure the absorbance of the reaction product at 500 nm using a microplate reader and calculate the enzyme activity. Enzyme activity is defined as the amount of enzyme required to hydrolyze and produce 1 μmol of choline per minute; one enzyme activity unit (U) is defined as this.

[0024] Example 3: Construction, induction of expression and purification of phospholipase D mutant Lip-Gri / NQ

[0025] The two sites were combined and mutated. Using the Lip-Gri / 123N plasmid as a template, PCR amplification was performed with E306QF and E306QR primer pairs. The product was then subjected to... DpnAfter digestion, the enzyme was transformed into E. coli BL21(DE3) to construct the phospholipase D mutant Lip-Gri / NQ. Compared with the wild-type phospholipase D Lip-Gri, Lip-Gri / NQ mutated aspartic acid at position 123 and glutamic acid at position 306 to asparagine and glutamine, respectively.

[0026] The recombinant bacteria containing the phospholipase D mutant Lip-Gri / NQ were inoculated into LB medium and cultured at 37°C for approximately 3 h. Then, they were cultured for another 18 h at 25°C with IPTG to a final concentration of 0.1 mM. The bacterial cells were collected by centrifugation, sonicated, and the protein was purified using a Ni-NTA affinity column. The target protein was eluted with an NPI-200, followed by ultrafiltration at 4°C for desalting and concentration to obtain the purified phospholipase D mutant Lip-Gri / NQ.
