Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of biology, and more specifically, to amine oxidase mutants and their application in the synthesis of chiral compounds. Background Technology

[0002] (R)-3-aminobutanol is a key chiral intermediate for the anti-AIDS drug dulutegravir, and its product quality plays a crucial role in the overall quality of dulutegravir. With the development of the pharmaceutical industry, the purity requirements for (R)-3-aminobutanol are becoming increasingly stringent, especially regarding ee value and impurity content.

[0003] Currently, both chemical and biocatalytic methods are used to synthesize high-purity (R)-3-aminobutanol. Biocatalysis, with its significant advantages of mild reaction conditions, low environmental pollution, and high economic efficiency, has become a hot topic in research and application. Various enzymes, such as transaminases and amine dehydrogenases, have been developed for the biosynthesis of (R)-3-aminobutanol. The transaminase route uses 4-hydroxy-2-butanone as a substrate, transferring the amino group from inexpensive amino donors, such as isopropylamine and alanine, to the carbonyl carbon of the substrate via a transamination reaction. This route achieves a product yield of up to 95%, but the ee value is only 99.8%, failing to meet the quality standard requirement of an isomer content of less than 0.03% (ee value 99.94%). Currently, a tartaric acid chemical resolution step is added after the catalytic process to improve the ee value. However, this method not only consumes a large amount of resolution reagents but also increases subsequent extraction and purification steps, raising production costs by approximately 30%.

[0004] In view of this, the present invention is proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide amine oxidase mutants and their application in the synthesis of chiral compounds.

[0007] Secondly, embodiments of the present invention provide an isolated nucleic acid molecule that encodes the amine oxidase mutant described in the foregoing embodiments.

[0011] In a sixth aspect, embodiments of the present invention provide a method for preparing the amine oxidase mutant as described in the foregoing embodiments, comprising: artificially synthesizing the amine oxidase mutant or culturing the recombinant cells described in the foregoing embodiments.

[0012] In a seventh aspect, embodiments of the present invention provide the use of amine oxidase mutants as described in the foregoing embodiments, or isolated nucleic acid molecules as described in the foregoing embodiments, or recombinant vectors as described in the foregoing embodiments, or recombinant cells as described in the foregoing embodiments, or catalysts as described in the foregoing embodiments, in the preparation or purification of (S)-3-aminobutanol or chiral compounds.

[0013] Eighthly, embodiments of the present invention provide a method for purifying (R)-3-aminobutanol, comprising the following steps: adding the amine oxidase mutant described in the foregoing embodiments, the recombinant cells described in the foregoing embodiments, or the catalyst described in the foregoing embodiments to a reaction system containing (S)-3-aminobutanol and (R)-3-aminobutanol to carry out a catalytic reaction.

[0014] The present invention has the following beneficial effects: The amine oxidase mutant optimized in this invention exhibits high catalytic activity and good stereoselectivity for (S)-3-aminobutanol. It can selectively oxidize (S)-3-aminobutanol to generate 4-hydroxy-2-butanone without affecting (R)-3-aminobutanol. When applied to catalyze (R)-3-aminobutanol solutions containing (S)-3-aminobutanol, it can effectively increase the R-type ee value in the solution in a short time without the need for additional purification steps. This reduces the use of a large amount of resolving reagents in existing tartaric acid chemical resolution methods, significantly lowering costs. Attached Figure Description

The features and performance of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to embodiments.

[0049] Example 1: Feasibility of wild-type amine oxidase catalysis of (S)-3-aminobutanol The enzymatic catalytic technology route is as follows: In the (R)-3-aminobutanol catalytic solution obtained by transaminase catalysis, the ee value of R-type 3-aminobutanol is often lower than 99.94%, failing to meet quality standards. This invention uses a mutant strain of amine oxidase (MAON) derived from *Aspergillus sphoenicis* as a catalyst, and the (R)-3-aminobutanol catalytic solution as a substrate. The catalytic reaction is carried out under CAT enzyme and O2 conditions. Ultimately, the S-type 3-aminobutanol in the catalytic solution is converted to 4-hydroxy-2-butanone under the catalysis of amine oxidase, thereby increasing the ee value of R-type 3-aminobutanol in the (R)-3-aminobutanol catalytic solution.

[0050] The article "Directed Evolution of an Amine Oxidase Possessing both Broad Substrate Specificity and High Enantioselectivity" describes a method catalyzed by an amine oxidase (SEQ ID NO: 1) to convert racemic mixtures into single R enantiomers. The enzyme gene used in the literature was synthesized, and a bacterial strain was constructed. The enzymatic catalytic effect on racemic 3-aminobutanol was then determined.

[0051] Amino acid sequence of amine oxidase (SEQ ID NO:1): MTSRDGYQWTPETGLTQGVPSLGVISPPTNIEDTDKDGPWDVIVIGGGYCGLTATRDLTVAGFKTLLLEARDRIGGRSWSSNIDGYPYEMGGTWVHWHQSHVWREITRYKMHNALSSPFNFSR GVNHFQLRTNPTTSTYMTHEAEDELLRSALHKFTNVDGTNGRTVLPFPHDMFYVPEFRKYDEMSYSERIDQIRDELSLNERSSLEAFILLCSGGTLENSSFGEFLHWWAMSGYTYQGCMDCLIS YKFKDGQSAFARRFWEEAAGTGRLGYVFGCPVRSVVNERDAARVTARDGREFVAKRVVCTIPLNVLSTIQFSPALSTERISAMQAGHVNMCTKVHAEVDNMDMRSWTGIAYPFNKLCYAIGDGT TPAGNTHLVCFGTDANHIQPDEDVRETLKAVGQLAPGTFGVKRLVFHNWVKDEFAKGAWFFSRPGMVSECLQGLREKHGGVVFANSDWALGWRSFIDGAIEEGTRAARVVLEELGTKREVKARL

[0052] First, codon optimization was performed on *E. coli* based on the amino acid sequence of amine oxidase derived from *Aspergillus phoenicis*. Then, the nucleic acid fragment encoding the gene was chemically synthesized and ligated into the plasmid vector pET-28a(+) via NcoI and XhoI restriction sites. Finally, the plasmid was introduced into *E. coli* BL21(DE3) using CaCl2-mediated chemical transformation. The resulting single-colony transformants were the recombinant expression strain of amine oxidase.

[0053] The recombinant strain was inoculated at a 1% inoculum into 5 mL of LB medium containing 50 mg / L kanamycin and cultured at 37°C and 200 rpm for 15 h to obtain primary seed culture. Then, the primary seed culture was transferred at a 4% inoculum into 50 mL of TB medium containing 50 mg / L kanamycin and cultured at 37°C and 220 rpm until the OD value of the bacterial culture reached 0.6–0.8. IPTG at a final concentration of 0.1 mM was then added to induce expression at 25°C and 220 rpm for 24 h. After fermentation, the supernatant was removed by centrifugation at 4000 rpm for 15 min, and the MAON amine oxidase cells were collected.

[0054] The validation system consisted of 10 g / L racemic 3-aminobutanol, 10 g / L MAON amine oxidase cells, and 1000 U / L CAT enzyme in 100 mL of 50 mM potassium dihydrogen phosphate-dipotassium hydrogen phosphate (pH 7.6) buffer; the aeration rate was set to 1 VVM; and catalysis was performed at 30 °C for 24 h.

[0055] After the reaction, samples were taken to detect the changes in the content of (S)-3-aminobutanol and (R)-3-aminobutanol. The results showed that the mass of (S)-3-aminobutanol decreased by 61%, while that of (R)-3-aminobutanol decreased by only 8%. The R-type ee value of the racemic 3-aminobutanol solution increased from 0% to 40.5%, indicating that amine oxidase has the function of increasing the R-type ee value of the 3-aminobutanol solution. However, its activity and stereoselectivity are poor, and it cannot completely convert (S)-3-aminobutanol. Furthermore, it consumes the target analyte (R)-3-aminobutanol.

[0056] Example 2: Enhancing the activity and stereoselectivity of amine oxidases through enzyme molecule modification Based on wild-type amine oxidase (amino acid sequence as shown in SEQ ID NO:1), saturated mutant libraries were constructed by selecting G22, I25, S26, E45, N47, Y68, F72, T182, L183, Q217, P246, A274, M275, P279, Q282, I283, Y305, K307, F335, L337, F352, and W396 sites, and high-throughput screening was performed. After secondary screening of mutant strains, beneficial mutant strains N47A, T182S, L183V, M275Q, Q282S, and F335Y were obtained, showing enhanced activity and stereoselectivity. Among them, T182S showed the highest activity increase (2.02-fold). Using T182S as a template, random combinations of other sites were carried out, ultimately yielding the mutant strain T182S / L183V / F335Y with the best activity and selectivity. After 4 h of catalysis with racemic 3-aminobutanol, (S)-3-aminobutanol was 99.99% converted, while (R)-3-aminobutanol did not decrease, and the ee value increased to 99.98%.

[0057] The specific method is as follows: (1) Primary screening: saturation mutagenesis, 96-well plate fermentation and high-throughput screening Using MAON plasmid DNA as a template, PCR amplification was performed using PrimeStarMax enzyme. The PCR reaction volume was 50 μL: containing 25 μL PrimeStarMax enzyme, 2 μL each of forward and reverse primers, 1 μL template DNA, and the remainder made up with pure water. The reaction program was as follows: 98℃ pre-denaturation for 5 min; followed by 98℃ denaturation for 30 s, 58℃ annealing for 15 s, and 72℃ extension for 1 min 10 s, for a total of 30 cycles; and a final extension at 72℃ for 10 min.

[0058] A fragment product of approximately 6000 bp was amplified, digested with DpnI enzyme, and transformed into *E. coli* BL21(DE3) competent cells. The cells were plated and incubated overnight at 37°C. 200 μL of LB liquid medium containing 50 mg / L kanamycin was added to each well of a 96-well plate. Single colonies were picked from the transformation plates using a sterile toothpick and inoculated. The culture was incubated overnight at 37°C and 250 rpm to obtain the primary seed culture. 40 μL of the primary seed culture was transferred to TB liquid medium containing 50 mg / L kanamycin and incubated at 37°C until OD500. 600 When the pH reaches 0.6-0.8, IPTG at a final concentration of 0.1 mM is added for induction, and the mixture is incubated overnight at 25°C. 20 μL of the fermentation broth is lysed with lysozyme and added to 200 μL of the chromogenic solution for high-resolution sieving. The chromogenic solution is prepared as a 50 mM potassium dihydrogen phosphate-dipoxetine (pH 7.6) buffer solution, containing 10 g / L racemic 3-aminobutanol, 1.5 U / L horseradish peroxidase, 6 mM 4-aminoantipyrine, and 16 mM 2,4,6,tribromo-3-hydroxybenzoic acid. After reacting at 30°C for 30 min, the absorbance at 510 nm is measured using a microplate reader.

[0059] Colorimetric principle: 4-Aminoantipyrine (4-AAP, M=203.24) reacts with 2,4,6-tribromo-3-hydroxybenzoic acid (TBHBA, M=374.81) under the action of hydrogen peroxide to form a quinone compound, which appears red and has a characteristic peak around 510 nm. Figure 2 .

[0060] (2) Secondary screening Strains with colorimetric values ​​20% higher than the control strains were re-screened. The re-screening system consisted of a 50 mM potassium dihydrogen phosphate-dipotassium hydrogen phosphate (pH 7.6) buffer solution, 10 g / L racemic-3-aminobutanol, 10 g / L MAON amine oxidase cells, 1000 U / L CAT enzyme, an aeration rate of 1 VVM, and catalysis at 30°C for 4 h. The content of aminobutanol and the ee value in the reaction solution were then measured.

[0061] Enzyme activity definition: Under the above reaction conditions, the amount of enzyme required to catalyze the conversion of 1 μmol (S)-3-aminobutanol per minute is defined as 1 enzyme activity unit (U); unit enzyme activity refers to the enzyme activity units (U / g) contained in each gram of wet cells; the relative enzyme activity of wild-type MAON is defined as 100%. Enantioselectivity definition: In aminobutanol catalyzed by amine oxidase oxidation, the difference between (S)-3-aminobutanol and (R)-3-aminobutanol / the sum of (S)-3-aminobutanol and (R)-3-aminobutanol × 100%.

[0062] Mutant strains with significantly enhanced enzyme activity and selectivity were identified by sequencing to determine the mutation type. The results are shown in Table 1.

[0063] Table 1 Single-point mutation

[0064] (3) Mutant combination The MAON mutant 2 (T182S) showed the highest activity increase (2.02-fold). Using T182S as a template, random combinations of other sites were carried out, and the activity and selectivity of the mutant strains were measured. The mutant strain 10 (T182S / L183V / F335Y) was obtained by screening and showed the highest increase in enzyme activity and selectivity.

[0065] Table 2 Mutation Combinations

[0066] Example 3: Effect of the optimal mutant strain on R-3-aminobutanol solution The method for producing transaminase cells used in this embodiment is the same as in Embodiment 1. (1) 500 g of potassium phosphate buffer solution (50 mM, pH 7.0) and 72 g of isopropylamine were added to a 2 L reactor. A 50% sulfuric acid solution was added to adjust the pH to 7.6. Then, 50 g of butanone (4-hydroxy-2-butanone), 5 g of transaminase-containing wet cells, and 0.25 g of PLP were added. The buffer solution was then added to bring the total volume to 1000 g. The reaction was carried out at 40 °C and 250 rpm for 18 h. After the reaction was completed, (R)-3-aminobutanol was obtained. The concentration of aminobutanol in the product was 48.2 g / L, and the ee value (R type) was 99.82%.

[0068] The (R)-3-aminobutanol solution was treated with the optimal amine oxidase mutant strain (mutant strain 10 (T182S / L183V / F335Y)). The (S)-3-aminobutanol content in the solution was only 0.05 g / L. The amount of mutant strain 10 was 1 g / L (wet cells), the amount of CAT enzyme was 100 U / L, the aeration rate was 1 VVM, the temperature was 30℃, and after catalytic reaction for 2 h, the contents of (R)-3-aminobutanol and (S)-3-aminobutanol were measured. The ee value (R type) was calculated to increase from 99.82% to 99.98%. (2) 500 g of potassium phosphate buffer solution (50 mM, pH 7.0) and 86 g of isopropylamine were added to a 2 L reactor. A 50% sulfuric acid solution was added to adjust the pH to 7.6. Then, 60 g of butanone alcohol, 5 g of wet transaminase cells, and 0.25 g of PLP were added. The buffer solution was then added to bring the total volume to 1000 g. The reaction was carried out at 40 °C and 250 rpm for 18 h. After the reaction was completed, (R)-3-aminobutanol was obtained. The concentration of aminobutanol in the product was 57.6 g / L, and the ee value (R-type) was 99.74%.
