Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of bioenzyme technology, specifically to a penicillin G acylase mutant, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology
[0002] Penicillin G acylase (PGA) is an important enzyme in the field of biocatalysis, widely used in the degradation of β-lactam antibiotics and the green synthesis of novel semi-synthetic β-lactam antibiotics. As a biocatalyst with reversible catalytic properties, PGA has become a core tool enzyme in antibiotic pollution control and green chemical synthesis due to its specific catalytic ability for the hydrolysis and synthesis of β-lactam antibiotics.
[0003] In the hydrolysis reaction, PGA can specifically recognize and catalyze the hydrolysis of penicillin G and the side-chain acyl groups of β-lactam antibiotics, efficiently converting them into 6-aminopenicillanic acid (6-APA). This product is a key intermediate in the synthesis of various clinically commonly used semi-synthetic penicillins such as ampicillin and amoxicillin, laying the core material foundation for the large-scale production of novel and highly efficient semi-synthetic antibiotics.
[0004] Under specific reaction conditions, PGA can catalyze the reverse of the above reaction: using 6-APA as the parent nucleus, it undergoes a condensation reaction with the corresponding acyl donor to achieve the targeted synthesis of novel β-lactam antibiotics with specific antibacterial activity requirements.
[0005] However, natural penicillin acylases have poor activity and low catalytic efficiency. In order to improve the activity and catalytic performance of PGA, this invention mutates specific sites of PGA to increase the affinity of PGA for substrates, thereby improving the catalytic performance of PGA. Summary of the Invention

The initial template was the nucleic acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO. 2.

[0113]
[0114] Table 2 Overlap Extension PCR Reaction Procedure
[0115]
[0116] (4) The recovered and sequence-verified mutant penicillin G acylase gene fragment and the pGEX-6p-1 empty plasmid were double-digested using BamHI and XhoI restriction endonucleases, respectively. 10.0 μL of the amplification product and 2 μL of the expression vector were then double-digested at 37°C for 30 min using 1 μL of BamHI restriction endonuclease and 1 μL of XhoI restriction endonuclease, respectively, to obtain the digested vector and digested product.
[0117] (5) Mix 10 μL of the enzyme digestion product and 2 μL of the enzyme digestion vector, and then add 1 μL of T4 DNA ligase to ligate and obtain the recombinant plasmid vector.
[0118] (6) The above ligation product was transferred into E. coli DH5α(DE3) competent cells by heat shock. After single colonies grew on LB solid plates containing 0.1% kanamycin sulfate (1g peptone, 1g NaCl, 0.5g yeast extract, 100mL ultrapure water, 2g agar powder), several single colonies were randomly picked and inoculated into LB liquid medium containing 0.1% kanamycin sulfate (1g peptone, 1g NaCl, 0.5g yeast extract, 100mL ultrapure water). After overnight incubation until the solution became turbid, plasmids were extracted. The extracted plasmids were then double-digested with BamHI and XhoI restriction endonucleases for verification, and detected by agarose gel electrophoresis. If two bands were present in a lane, the plasmid corresponding to that lane was the recombinant plasmid. A portion of the plasmid solution was sequenced for verification. If the sequencing results showed the presence of the target mutant penicillin G acylase gene sequence, and only a normal mutation occurred compared to the target gene sequence, then the recombinant plasmid was transformed into E. coli BL21(DE3) competent cells, thus completing the construction of the penicillin G acylase mutant engineered bacteria. The agarose gel electrophoresis results of the recombinant cells of the F274A, W404G, and F274A / W404G double mutant engineered bacteria are shown below. Figure 3 , Figure 5 , Figure 7 As shown, the sequencing results of the recombinant plasmids are as follows: Figure 4 , Figure 6 , Figure 8 As shown in the figure, the results demonstrate the successful preparation of the engineered bacteria.
[0119] (7) The preserved penicillin G acylase engineered bacterial suspension and the bacterial suspensions of each mutant penicillin G acylase engineered bacterial suspension were inoculated at a 2% inoculum into small test tubes containing 0.1% kanamycin sulfate in LB liquid medium. The tubes were incubated overnight at 37°C and 200 rpm until the solution became turbid. The next day, the bacterial suspensions in the small test tubes were inoculated at a 1% inoculum into TB medium (6 g peptone, 12 g yeast extract, 2 mL glycerol, 450 mL ultrapure water) containing 0.1% kanamycin sulfate. The tubes were incubated at 37°C and 200 rpm for expansion culture. After about 3 hours of culture, when the OD600 reached 0.6 to 0.8, protein expression could be induced. IPTG was used as an inducer, with a final concentration of 0.1 μmol / mL. The tubes were then incubated at 20°C and 120 rpm for 18 hours to obtain the fermentation broth.
[0120] After induction, the fermentation broth was placed in centrifuge tubes and centrifuged at 7000 rpm for 4 minutes at 4°C. The supernatant was discarded, and the centrifuged cells were retained. 15 mL of PBS buffer solution was added to each centrifuge tube, and the mixture was vortexed to ensure that the cells settled at the bottom were fully mixed with the PBS buffer solution before centrifugation. This process was repeated twice, and then PBS buffer was added again to obtain whole cells of wild-type penicillin G acylase, mutant enzyme F274A, mutant enzyme W404G, and double mutant enzyme F274A / W404G.
[0121] Centrifuge tubes containing suspended bacterial cells were placed in small beakers filled with crushed ice and subjected to ultrasonic disruption using an ultrasonic homogenizer. The parameters were set as follows: 2 seconds of sonication followed by a 3-second interval, with a power ratio of 33% (specifically, 50W). The disruption process lasted 15 minutes to rupture the bacterial cells. After disruption, the lysate was centrifuged at 12000 rpm for 8 minutes in a high-speed refrigerated centrifuge. The supernatant obtained was the crude enzyme solution containing wild-type penicillin G acylase, mutant enzyme F274A, mutant enzyme W404G, and the double mutant enzyme F274A / W404G.
[0122] To obtain pure enzyme solutions of wild-type and mutant penicillin G acylase, protein purification was required. Both expressed proteins were expressed using the pGEX-6p-1 plasmid, which contains a GST tag. Therefore, GST4FF (GST-Tag) agarose resin purchased from Sangon Biotech was used for protein purification.
[0123] First, prepare the relevant solutions. The buffer formula required for protein purification is as follows:
[0124] (1) Equilibrium solution: Binding Buffer (150mM sodium chloride), pH 7.3-7.5;
[0125] (2) Elution buffer: Elution Buffer (10mM reduced glutathione), pH 7.9-8.1.
[0126] After preparation, the prepared equilibration solution, elution solution, and supernatant (containing crude enzyme solution of wild-type penicillin G acylase or mutant penicillin G acylase) are filtered through a 0.22 μm aqueous filter membrane for later use.
[0127] The protein purification steps are as follows:
[0128] (1) Rinse the column with 30 mL of ultrapure water (add 5 mL each time);
[0129] (2) Rinse the column with 25 mL of equilibration buffer (add 5 mL each time);
[0130] (3) Add the broken supernatant to the column (2 mL each time), and repeat this step twice to ensure that the broken supernatant is fully combined with the GST resin;
[0131] (4) Rinse the column with 40 mL of equilibration buffer (add 5 mL each time);
[0132] (5) Rinse the column with 10 mL of elution buffer and collect it with a collection tube for subsequent use (add 5 mL each time).
[0133] (6) Rinse the column with 15 mL of equilibration buffer (add 5 mL each time);
[0134] (7) Rinse the column with 25 mL of ultrapure water (add 5 mL each time);
[0135] (8) Rinse the column with 25 mL of 20% ethanol (add 5 mL each time);
[0136] (9) Add 10 mL of 20% ethanol to the column and then store it in a refrigerator at 4°C.
[0137] After purification, the collected eluents were placed in dialysis bags and then in 100 mM sodium phosphate buffer solution (pH 6.5) for overnight dialysis at 4°C to remove impurities such as glutathione. After dialysis, pure enzyme solutions of wild-type penicillin G acylase, mutant enzymes F274A, W404G, and the double mutant enzyme F274A / W404G were obtained. These solutions were stored at 4°C for later use.

[0148] 1. The hydrolytic activity of whole cells of penicillin G acylase, mutant enzyme F274A, mutant enzyme W404G, and double mutant enzyme F274A / W404G prepared in Example 1, as well as the whole cell of mutant K687G enzyme prepared in Preparation Example 1, was investigated.
[0149] Wild-type and mutant penicillin acylases were subjected to the same amide drug in whole cells, and their hydrolysis performance was detected by high-performance liquid chromatography. This study investigated the changes in the catalytic activity of wild-type and mutant penicillin acylases for different substrates.
[0150] Prepare stock solutions of penicillin V potassium, penicillin G, and amoxicillin at concentrations of 1 mg / mL, and preheat them in a shaker at 50°C for 30 min. Add whole cells to the stock solutions, with a dry weight of 0.45 g / L. Mix thoroughly and continue incubation in a shaker at 120 rpm for 90 min. Samples are taken and analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), recording the peak area changes for different samples. Repeat the experiment three times in parallel and take the average value.
[0151] The results are shown in Tables 3-5. In this invention, whole-cell catalytic reaction screening of penicillin G acylase and its mutants (F274A, W404G, F274A / W404G, K687G) was conducted. The results showed that compared with penicillin G acylase, F274A, W404G, and F274A / W404G all showed certain enhancements in catalytic activity for penicillin V potassium, penicillin G, and amoxicillin. Among them, the double mutant enzyme F274A / W404G showed the most significant catalytic effect.
