Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of genetic engineering and enzyme engineering, and particularly relates to an alpha-L-rhamnosidase mutant and application thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Isoquercitrin, also known as quercetin-3-O-glucoside, is a natural flavonoid compound, which is widely distributed in nature but has a very low content, has multiple pharmacological effects such as anti-oxidative stress, anti-tumor, cardiovascular protection, blood sugar reduction and anti-allergy, and can be used for synthesizing food additive EMIQ (enzyme modified isoquercitrin). Due to the very low natural content of isoquercitrin in plants, the traditional extraction method has low yield, large workload, and high reagent consumption, and cannot realize large-scale preparation. Rutin and isoquercitrin have the same parent nucleus structure, and only one rhamnose is connected to the C6 position of the glucose group of isoquercitrin, and the content of rutin in plants is higher. There are two methods for hydrolyzing rutin to generate isoquercitrin, namely chemical conversion method and biological conversion method. The chemical conversion method uses acid cleavage method, which can cause excessive hydrolysis of rutin to generate quercetin. The biological conversion method uses alpha-L-rhamnosidase to specifically cleave rutin to generate isoquercitrin. Compared with the chemical method, the biological conversion method has the advantages of mild conditions, high efficiency, environmental protection, less by-products, higher yield and purity, and has become a more feasible way for large-scale preparation of isoquercitrin.

[0003] Free enzymes are easy to be inactivated and difficult to be reused, and need to be purified, which greatly increases the production cost, so the application in industry is limited to a certain extent. In order to make the industrial application of enzymes more feasible, immobilization technology appears. However, the method for immobilizing alpha-L-rhamnosidase needs to purify the enzyme and use additional immobilization carriers, and the immobilization operation is relatively complex, the production cost is increased, and the current catalytic rutin concentration is low, and the catalytic efficiency is low.

[0033] Example 1 Construction of α-L-rhamnosidase mutants

[0034] In this example, based on the rational design strategy of conservation and stability analysis, the amino acid sites near the active center of α-L-rhamnosidase were systematically modified. This strategy starts from the in-depth analysis of its molecular structure, and then specific single or multiple amino acid sites are subjected to site-directed mutagenesis or local sequence regions are subjected to combinatorial mutagenesis, and then a mutant library is constructed, and the function of the mutants is evaluated by specific screening and selection methods.

[0035] The present application takes the α-L-rhamnosidase with the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO. 1 as the starting template, and performs the following (a)-(e) single-point or multi-point combination mutations on the key sites to obtain enzyme variants with optimized performance:

[0036] (a) the amino acid corresponding to position 95 on SEQ ID NO. 1 is mutated from aspartic acid (D) to tryptophan (W) or phenylalanine (F);

[0046] The gene sequence encoding wild-type a-L-rhamnosidase Rha was inserted into plasmid pPIC9K to construct recombinant plasmid pPIC9K-Rha. The recombinant plasmid pPIC9K-Rha was used as a template to construct a mutant enzyme recombinant expression vector using a site-directed mutagenesis kit, and the specific steps were as follows:

[0047] 1. PCR amplification

[0048] According to the gene sequence of wild-type a-L-rhamnosidase and the mutation of the target site, corresponding site-directed mutagenesis primers were designed, as shown in Table 1. Taking the site-directed mutagenesis of site 95 as an example, the corresponding site-directed mutagenesis primers were D95W-F and D95W-R.

[0051] 2. Digestion of template plasmid DNA with Dpn I

[0052] 1 μL of Dpn I was added to 5-10 μL of PCR amplification product, mixed gently, and reacted at 37°C for 1 hour to specifically degrade the original template plasmid with methylation.

[0053] 3. Self-circularization of PCR product

[0054] After purification of the digestion product, in vitro self-ligation reaction was performed to circularize the complete plasmid. The ligation product was transformed into E. coli JM109 to obtain the corresponding recombinant E. coli, which was plated on a plate containing ampicillin sodium and cultured at 37°C overnight. Randomly selected clones were subjected to colony PCR identification and sequencing verification. The results showed that the recombinant expression vector containing the a-L-rhamnosidase mutant gene was successfully transformed into the expression host E. coli JM109. The bacterial solution with successful mutation verified by sequencing was added with glycerol and preserved in a -80°C refrigerator.

[0055] 4. Electroporation of mutant recombinant plasmid into Pichia pastoris

[0056] High-purity and high-concentration mutant plasmid was extracted from the verified correct strain and subjected to linearization treatment. The linearized DNA was transformed into Pichia pastoris GS115 competent cells by electroporation. The transformed cells were plated on a selection plate and cultured at 30°C for 2-4 days until single colonies appeared. Colony PCR was used to identify whether the target gene was successfully integrated into the Pichia pastoris genome, and a positive recombinant yeast engineering strain was screened.

[0057] Example 2 Expression and purification of wild type and mutant α-L-rhamnosidases and enzyme activity determination

[0058] 1. Expression and purification of wild type and mutant α-L-rhamnosidases

After the expression was completed, the supernatant was collected by centrifugation, and the crude enzyme solutions of wild type and mutant α-L-rhamnosidases were obtained, respectively.

[0060] After the crude enzyme was filtered by a 0.45 μm filter membrane, it was purified by a nickel column and eluted by a buffer solution containing 200 mM imidazole, and the pure enzymes of wild type and mutant α-L-rhamnosidases were obtained, respectively.

[0061] 2. Enzyme activity determination of wild type and mutant α-L-rhamnosidases

[0062] Using rutin as the substrate: 10 g / L rutin solution was prepared by using 950 μL sodium phosphate buffer (50 mM, pH 5.0), 50 μL pure enzyme solution was added, and the reaction was carried out at 60°C and 150 rpm for 30 min, and then the enzyme was inactivated by boiling in water bath at 100°C for 5 min. The rhamnose content was determined by DNS reagent. Under the optimal reaction conditions, the amount of enzyme required to produce 1 μmol of rhamnose per minute was defined as one enzyme activity unit (U).

[0063] The results of relative enzyme activity determination of wild type and mutant α-L-rhamnosidases are shown in Table 1. Figure 1 As can be seen from the results of relative enzyme activity determination, the enzyme activity of mutant Y282I is 1.46 times that of the wild type, and the relative enzyme activity is greatly improved. The relative enzyme activities of other mutants are not improved or are reduced to different degrees. Therefore, mutant Y282I can efficiently convert rutin to isoquercitrin.

[0064] The amino acid sequence of mutant Y282I is shown in SEQ ID NO. 13.

[0067] The specific operation steps are as follows:

[0068] Step S1. The coding gene of Rha mutant Y282I is amplified by PCR using appropriate primers, and a Flag tag is introduced at the 5' end.

[0069] Step S2. The Pichia pastoris GS115 genome DNA is extracted using a yeast genome extraction kit, appropriate primers are designed, and the anchor protein gene Gcw61 is amplified by PCR using the same as a template, while a linker sequence is introduced at the 5' end of the amplified fragment. The gene is homologously recombined with the vector pPIC9K, the ligation product is obtained to obtain the recombinant plasmid pPIC9K-linker-Gcw61, which is transformed into E. coli JM109.

[0070] Step S3. The alpha-L-rhamnosidase mutant gene used for homologous recombination was amplified by PCR, reverse PCR was performed on the plasmid pPIC9K-linker-Gcw61 in step S2 to obtain a vector, the gene was subjected to homologous recombination with the vector, the ligation product was used to obtain a surface display recombination vector, which was transformed into E. coli JM109. Then the surface display recombination vector was electroporated into Pichia pastoris GS115 to form transformants, PCR was used to identify the correct integration of the target gene in the transformants to obtain recombinants, and the positive recombinants were induced for expression by methanol. After the expression was completed, the supernatant was removed by centrifugation to obtain the Pichia pastoris engineering bacteria for surface display of the alpha-L-rhamnosidase Rha mutant, i.e., the Pichia pastoris whole-cell catalyst engineering bacteria.
