Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of biotechnology, specifically relating to bacterial laccase mutants and their application in the degradation of mycotoxins. Background Technology

[0002] Mycotoxins are toxic secondary metabolites produced by fungi, seriously endangering human and animal health. According to a report by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), approximately 25% of global food crops are infected with mycotoxins annually, and more than 70% of feed and feed ingredients contain at least one mycotoxin, causing hundreds of billions of dollars in economic losses. Aflatoxin and zearalenone (ZEN) are two of the most common mycotoxins, causing serious contamination in grains, feed, and traditional Chinese medicine, and exhibiting various toxic effects on humans and animals.

[0003] Aflatoxins are ranked first among biological toxins due to their severe damage to the livers of humans and animals. Aflatoxins (Afs) are mainly divided into four types: AFB1, AFB2, AFG1, and AFG2. Among them, AFB1 is the most toxic and carcinogenic, with a toxicity 68 times that of arsenic and 10 times that of potassium cyanide. More than 75% of all aflatoxin-related food, drug, and feed contamination is caused by AFB1. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has classified AFB1 as a Group 1 carcinogen. More than 5 billion people worldwide are chronically exposed to AFB1, and long-term exposure can lead to hepatotoxicity, immunotoxicity, neuroendocrine disorders, and neuronal dysregulation. ZEN, produced by Fusarium spp., is a non-steroidal estrogen mycotoxin. Its structure and function are similar to endogenous estrogen, and it has functions such as interfering with sex hormone secretion, causing DNA damage, and affecting the immune system. Zearalenone (ZEN) and its metabolites can competitively bind to estrogen receptors in animals, competing with estrogen for binding sites. This causes estrogen syndrome in livestock, leading to excessive estrogen levels and resulting in infertility, abortion, and stillbirth. ZEN is also highly carcinogenic, seriously endangering the health of livestock and humans. Given the hazards of AFB1 and ZEN, it is necessary to detoxify food, medicinal materials, and water bodies contaminated with AFB1 and ZEN to effectively avoid the health risks and mitigate the economic losses caused by AFB1 and ZEN contamination.

[0004] Several strategies for the removal of AFB1 and ZEN have been developed and optimized over the past few years, broadly categorized into physical, chemical, and biological methods. Physical and chemical methods, including adsorption, irradiation, ozonation, peroxidation, and ammoniation, can partially or completely eliminate AFB1 and ZEN. However, these methods, while adsorbing or oxidizing aflatoxins, also damage other nutrients, causing unnecessary changes in the properties of food and medicinal materials, such as decreased sensory quality, alterations in the content of active ingredients in medicinal materials, and flavor changes. Furthermore, they may induce cytotoxic effects such as oxidative stress, reduced cell viability, apoptosis, and DNA damage, creating new safety hazards. Biodegradation offers a more promising alternative for the removal of AFB1 and ZEN because it provides a means to convert AFB1 and ZEN into non-toxic or less toxic metabolites under mild conditions, while preserving the quality and nutritional value of agricultural products.

[0005] Laccases are a class of multi-copper oxidases characterized by a broad substrate range, high catalytic activity, and water as a catalytic byproduct, making them a recognized green and environmentally friendly enzyme. Laccases are widely distributed in nature, found in bacteria, fungi, insects, and higher plants. Current research indicates that fungal laccases have the potential to degrade AFB1 and ZEN. However, the low yield and poor environmental adaptability of fungal laccases significantly limit their large-scale, cost-effective removal of AFB1 and ZEN. Compared to fungal laccases, bacterial laccases are easier to produce on a large scale, have stronger environmental tolerance, and are more readily commercially viable. However, there are significant differences in laccase production efficiency and enzymatic properties among bacteria from different sources. Therefore, there is an urgent need to find high-quality, inexpensive laccases for the effective removal of mycotoxins, especially AFB1 and ZEN. Summary of the Invention

[0032] Example 1

[0033] Cloning, protein expression, and purification of bacterial laccase mutant genes

[0034] Bacillus subtilis (CGMCC 1.15792), purchased from the China General Microbiological Culture Collection Center (cgmcc.net) in June 2019, was cultured overnight on LB broth. After centrifugation at 10,000 rpm for 1 min, the supernatant was discarded, and the sample was extracted using a genomic DNA extraction kit. Genomic DNA was extracted using the Bacteria Genomic DNA Kit (purchased from TransGen Biotech). Using the extracted genome as a template, and with cotA-F (SEQ ID NO. 5) as the upstream primer and cotA-R (SEQ ID NO. 6) as the downstream primer, DNA polymerase was rapidly amplified using PCR. Taq DNA Polymerase (TransGen Biotech Co., Ltd.) amplifies the laccase gene in the genome to obtain the bacterial laccase gene cotA, whose nucleotide sequence is shown in SEQ ID NO.3 (its amino acid sequence is shown in SEQ ID NO.1). Specific reaction conditions are shown in Table 1.

The purified PCR amplified fragments and the *E. coli* plasmid pET-28a were digested using restriction endonucleases BamHI and XhoI (purchased from NEB Biotechnology). The endonuclease-digested fragments were then separated using agarose gel electrophoresis and recovered using a gel extraction kit. The correct bands were recovered using the Quick Gel Extraction Kit (TransGen Biotech).

The degradation product was terminated by adding 1.25 mL of methanol, and the supernatant was evaporated to dryness by vacuum distillation after centrifugation at 10000 rpm for 10 min. The powder was dissolved in edible oil (soybean oil was used as an example in this example), and the degradation product was prepared to a concentration of 1 mg / mL based on the amount added before AFB1 degradation. Eighteen 5-week-old male BALB / c mice (weighing 18–22 g) were randomly divided into three groups after acclimatization for one week: a blank control group, an AFB1 group, and a CotA-1+AFB1 group, with six mice in each group. The blank control group received 0.1 mL of edible oil via gavage daily; the AFB1 group received 0.1 mL of edible oil containing AFB1 via gavage daily, with an AFB1 dosage of 1 mg / kg; the CotA-1+AFB1 group received 0.1 mL of edible oil containing AFB1 degradation products via gavage daily, with the degradation products dosage of 1 mg / kg.
