Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of bioengineering technology, specifically relating to a method for preparing natural nucleotides and their applications. Background Technology
[0002] dNTPs, or deoxyribonucleotide triphosphates, are essential molecules in DNA replication and repair. Each dNTP molecule consists of a phosphate group, a deoxyribose sugar, and a nitrogenous base. Based on the base composition, dNTPs can be classified into four types: dATP (deoxyadenosine triphosphate), dGTP (deoxyguanine triphosphate), dTTP (deoxythymidine triphosphate), and dCTP (deoxycytosine triphosphate). dATP and dGTP belong to the purine family, while dTTP and dCTP belong to the pyrimidine family. dNTPs play a crucial role in bioscience, primarily serving as raw materials for DNA replication and repair. In molecular biology research, dNTPs are fundamental to experimental techniques such as PCR (polymerase chain reaction) for amplifying specific DNA fragments. In the biotechnology industry, dNTPs are key components in the synthesis of DNA fragments, gene editing, and the production of genetically engineered products.
[0003] Traditional nucleotide synthesis methods are mainly divided into four types: nucleic acid degradation, chemical synthesis, direct microbial fermentation, and enzymatic methods. Nucleic acid degradation: This method originated in the 1960s when Japanese scientists first used 5'-phosphodiesterase to degrade RNA to obtain nucleotides, pioneering the industrial production of nucleotides. The specific process involves extracting RNA from yeast, then using nuclease P1 to degrade it into a mixture of four nucleotides, followed by complex separation and purification steps to obtain the nucleotide monomers. This method has a long production cycle, low product purity, and suffers from low fermentation levels and low enzymatic conversion rates. Chemical synthesis: This method uses phosphorus oxychloride (POCl3) as a phosphate donor. Nucleosides or deoxynucleosides are dissolved in triethyl phosphate (TEP) or trimethyl phosphate (TMP), and then POCl3 is added, causing the phosphate groups to transfer to the nucleosides or deoxynucleosides. Finally, nucleotides are obtained through hydrolysis. Chemical synthesis has a high yield, reaching over 90%, making it more efficient than nucleic acid degradation. However, this method has drawbacks: it accumulates large amounts of hydrochloric acid during production, potentially leading to the degradation of purine nucleotides (such as 5'-dGMP and 5'-dAMP); the chemical reagents used are expensive, increasing production costs; and the TEP, TMP, and POCl3 used in the reaction are all toxic reagents, which can easily cause environmental pollution if not handled properly. Microbial direct fermentation: This method uses screened strains to directly produce nucleotides through fermentation. Currently, its most successful application is the production of inosinic acid (5'-IMP). For example, researchers such as Furuya isolated a strain that... 2+Insensitive ammonia-producing short bacillus mutants, in fermentation media containing sufficient adenine, regulate Mn 2+ Concentration can promote the accumulation of IMP. Nevertheless, direct fermentation still faces the challenge of overcoming the microbial cell membrane barrier, and the natural enzyme systems present within microbial cells may degrade nucleotides, making the production of nucleotides via direct fermentation quite difficult.
[0004] Enzymatic synthesis has mild reaction conditions, fast speed, high conversion rate, and low pollution, making it the most suitable industrial production method for development. However, the high cost of the required energy donor ATP and the large amount of AMP and ADP byproducts make it unsuitable for industrial production. Summary of the Invention

[0157] 3. Expression and purification of polyphosphokinase
[0158] To detect polyphosphokinase activity in vitro, the enzyme was expressed and purified exogenously in Escherichia coli.
[0159] 1) Induced expression
[0160] The various recombinant plasmids prepared in step 2 above were transformed into E. coli BL21(DE3), and positive clones were screened using kanamycin resistance plates (Kan+, 100 mg / mL) and cultured overnight at 37°C. Single clones were picked and cultured in 8 mL of LB liquid medium (Kan+, 100 mg / mL) at 37°C and 220 r / min until the OD600 reached 0.6. The bacterial culture in 8 mL of LB medium was transferred to 800 mL of 2YT medium (Kan+, 100 mg / mL), and cultured at 37°C and 220 rpm until the OD600 reached 0.6. The temperature was then lowered to 16°C, and IPTG was added to a final concentration of 0.5 mM. Expression was induced for 20 h to obtain the induced culture product. The induced culture product was collected into a collection bottle, centrifuged at 5500 r / min for 15 min, the supernatant was discarded, and the obtained bacterial cell pellet was resuspended in 35 mL of protein buffer (50 mM TrisHCl, 2 mM EDTA, 0.1% Triton X100, the remainder being water, pH 7.4). The pellet was then poured into a 50 mL centrifuge tube and stored at 80°C to obtain the individual bacterial cell suspensions.

[0165] b: Sample loading: Slowly pass the supernatant through the Ni affinity chromatography column at a flow rate of 0.5 mL / min, and repeat once more;
[0166] c: Elution of contaminating proteins: Wash with protein buffer for 1 column volume, then use 50 mL of protein buffer containing 50 mM imidazole to elute strongly bound contaminating proteins. Take the first few drops to flow through the sample and prepare the sample.
[0167] d: Elution of target protein: The target protein was eluted with 20 mL of imidazole protein buffer containing 100 mM, 200 mM, and 300 mM, respectively. The first few drops were used to flow through the sample for sample preparation and detection by 12% SDS-PAGE (75.8 KD of target protein was obtained).

[0236] II. Functional Verification for PCR Reactions
[0237] The dNTPs prepared above were used to perform PCR reactions on different fragments (gene13, gene14, gene15, gene16, gene17, gene18, gene19, gene20, and gene21) of the substrate DNA using different primer pairs.

The PCR amplification product is obtained through the above steps.
[0242] The PCR amplification products were detected, and the results are as follows: Figure 5 As shown in Figure A, it can be seen that the PCR reaction of the 0.1mM / 0.2mM dNTP prepared above yields the same PCR results as the 0.1mM dNTP in P505.
[0243] PCR results were sent to Genewiz for sequencing to check accuracy, and the results were as follows: Figure 5B, genes 19, 20, and 21 are commercial dNTPs at 0.2 mM, genes 13, 14, and 15 are dNTPs invented in this invention at 0.1 mM, and genes 16, 17, and 18 are dNTPs invented in this invention at 0.2 mM.
