Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of enzyme catalysis production technology, specifically to multi-enzyme cascade catalytic reaction systems and their applications. Background Technology
[0002] L-cysteine is one of the 20 naturally occurring amino acids and plays an important physiological role. In most organisms, it is the only pathway for reduced sulfur to enter cellular metabolism. As an important sulfur-containing amino acid, L-cysteine is widely used in food, medicine, cosmetics, and other fields. Currently, the main methods for producing L-cysteine include hair hydrolysis, enzymatic synthesis, and fermentation. Traditional hair hydrolysis and enzymatic synthesis methods suffer from low yields and severe environmental pollution. While fermentation offers an environmentally friendly and cost-effective approach, the cytotoxicity and strict metabolic regulation of L-cysteine make bacterial fermentation production a significant challenge in the amino acid fermentation industry. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a green and efficient method for preparing L-cysteine.
[0003] The 20 naturally occurring amino acids that make up proteins represent only a portion of the biologically important amino acids. Non-natural amino acids, with their diverse functional groups, D-type stereochemistry, and atypical carbon skeletons, enrich the complexity of the amino acid pool. The unique chemical and biological properties of non-natural amino acids have attracted widespread attention in protein engineering and drug discovery. Incorporating non-natural amino acids into proteins provides a rational method for regulating their physical and chemical properties; non-natural amino acids are widely used in antibody-drug conjugates, and due to their unique orthogonal coupling properties, site specificity, and low toxicity, they can lead to better therapeutic approaches; simultaneously, adding non-natural amino acids to antimicrobial peptides can effectively improve their physicochemical and pharmacological diversity. Although non-natural amino acids are valuable biological tools, current production methods such as chemical synthesis, fermentation, and biocatalysis have limitations in terms of cost, yield, and product range. Chemical synthesis uses intermediates such as serine-derived lactones, hydantoin, or aziridine to synthesize non-natural amino acids; this method requires the use of harmful reagents, generates large amounts of waste, or requires further racemization of the products. Fermentation requires a host capable of synthesizing non-natural amino acids, but many non-natural amino acid synthesis pathways are low-yield or even remain unclear. Biocatalysis utilizes enzymes such as ammonia lyases, tyrosine-phenol lyases, and tryptophan synthases to produce optically pure non-natural amino acids from simple and inexpensive substrates. However, thermodynamically controlled reversibility or a limited substrate range remains an obstacle to the synthesis of non-natural amino acids. Summary of the Invention
