Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of agricultural biotechnology, specifically to a method for fusion with a P450 enzyme mutant and improving its catalytic activity for VD3, and a method for whole-cell generation of 25(OH)VD3. Background Technology

[0002] Vitamin D3 (VD3), commonly known as cholecalciferol, plays a crucial role in many biological processes. Compared to VD3, 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 (25(OH)VD3) exhibits greater water solubility and higher bioavailability.

[0003] Currently, common methods for producing 25(OH)VD3 include chemical synthesis and biotransformation. Compared to chemical synthesis, C25 hydroxylase catalysis using VD3 as a substrate requires only one reaction step, exhibits high catalytic efficiency and excellent selectivity, and operates under mild conditions with minimal environmental impact. P450, a member of the heme oxidase superfamily known for its regioselective and stereoselective transformations, holds great potential for 25(OH)VD3 synthesis. However, the industrial application of P450 faces challenges such as the need for additional redox chaperones, limited catalytic activity, low coupling efficiency, and insufficient stability, resulting in high production costs.

[0004] In the catalytic cycle of P450, substrate hydroxylation depends on the efficiency of electron transfer from the redox chaperone to heme iron. This typically requires the addition of additional redox chaperone proteins to perform the electron transfer function, increasing the cost of P450 in industrial applications. Furthermore, electron transfer is the rate-limiting step in the P450 reaction. When this process is not coordinated with the substrate's catalytic efficiency, it can trigger uncoupling reactions, leading to decreased P450 coupling efficiency, reactive oxygen species accumulation, and reduced enzyme activity. Self-sufficient fusion P450 enzymes integrate heme catalytic and redox enzyme domains on a single polypeptide chain, with the domains linked by linkers, simplifying and facilitating electron transfer. Compared to multi-component P450 enzymes, they generally exhibit higher catalytic efficiency. Self-sufficient fusion P450 enzymes rely on their own conformational motion to achieve efficient interdomain electron transfer. The electron transfer efficiency depends on the efficiency of electron transfer from the reductase domain to the heme center and the ability of the heme domain to utilize transferred electrons for efficient catalysis. A comprehensive strategy that considers both electron transfer pathways and substrate specificity can effectively improve electron transfer efficiency. Therefore, developing a self-sufficient fusion P450 enzyme with C-25 hydroxylation activity for VD3, and improving its catalytic activity for VD3 through modification of electron transfer pathway and substrate specificity, has significant potential for industrial application. Summary of the Invention

Collect wet cells to obtain wet cells; inoculate the wet cells into VD3 solution and react at pH 6.5-8 and 20-40 ℃ for 2-24 h.

[0078] (2) Mutant screening:

[0079] The 32 mutant strains obtained in step (1) were inoculated into LB medium and cultured at 200 rpm and 37 ℃ for about 10 h. Then, they were inoculated into TB medium at an inoculation rate of 1% of the medium volume and cultured at 200 rpm and 37 ℃ until OD. 600 =Approximately 0.8, add IPTG to a final concentration of 1.0 mM and 5-ALA of 1.0 mM, induce at 200 rpm and 25 ℃ for 18 h, centrifuge at 6000 rpm for 10 min to collect the bacterial cells, and then proceed with the substrate VD3.

[0080] Whole-cell transformation reaction was used to screen for mutants with improved transformation efficiency.

[0081] Whole-cell transformation reaction system: VD3 substrate (final concentration 1 mM) and recombinant E. coli cells after induction (final cell concentration OD) were added to potassium phosphate buffer (50 mM, pH 7.4) supplemented with 50 g / L hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin and 10% (v / v) ethanol. 600 = 10), and finally add glucose (final concentration 25 g / L). React at 25°C and 200 rpm for 1 h. After the reaction is complete, add an equal volume of ethyl acetate to terminate the reaction and extract. Vortex the mixture at high speed for 10 min, then centrifuge at high speed (12000 rpm, 10 min). Collect the upper organic phase, filter it through a 0.22 μm organic filter membrane, and perform HPLC analysis.

[0082] The concentrations of VD3 and 25(OH)VD3 in the reaction solution were analyzed by HPLC: an Agilent C18 column (5 μm × 4.6 mm × 250 mm) was used, with methanol / acetonitrile (30:70, v / v) as the mobile phase; the detection wavelength was set to 264 nm; the flow rate was maintained at 1.0 mL / min; the injection volume was 10 μL; the column temperature was 30 °C; and the detection time was 15 min. The catalytic activity of the constructed mutants was evaluated by the conversion of substrate VD3. The mutants with higher 25(OH)VD3 production capacity than the wild type were obtained, such as... Figure 1 As shown in the figure, the activity of all mutants is improved to varying degrees. Among them, the five-point mutant VK1-CYP116B46 L21P83A / A177M / K180F / F346K / R354M has the highest 25(OH)VD3 production, which is 8.8 times that of the wild type.

[0083] Example 3: Gram-scale preparation of 25(OH)VD3

[0084] The recombinant strain constructed in Example 2 E. coli BL21 32 / pETDuet1-VK1-CYP116B46-L21-P83A-A177M-K180F-F346K-R354M-GDH was inoculated into LB medium and cultured at 200 rpm and 37 ℃ for about 10 h. Then, it was inoculated into TB medium at 1% of the medium volume and cultured at 200 rpm and 37 ℃ until OD... 600 = 0.8, add IPTG and 5-ALA to a final concentration of 1.0 mM, induce at 200 rpm and 25 ℃ for 18 h, centrifuge at 6000 rpm for 10 min to collect the cells, and carry out whole-cell transformation reaction of substrate VD3.

[0085] The VD3 concentration in the entire reaction system was 10 mM during the whole-cell transformation reaction, and the reaction time was 24 h. All other operations were the same as in Example 2. After the reaction was completed, an equal volume of ethyl acetate was added to terminate the reaction and extract the mixture. The mixture was then vortexed at high speed for 10 min, centrifuged at 12000 rpm for 10 min, and the upper organic phase was collected. This phase was filtered through a 0.22 μm organic filter membrane and analyzed by HPLC. The yield was as follows: Figure 2 As shown, VK1-CYP116B46-L21 P83A / A177M / K180F / F346K / R354M achieved 82% substrate conversion at 24 h, with a yield of 8.16 mM (approximately 3.26 g / L).
