Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of enzyme engineering and green biomanufacturing, and relates to a mutant of NADPH-dependent alcohol dehydrogenase EcYjgB and its application in the synthesis of 2,5-furandiethanol and furfuryl alcohol. Background Technology
[0002] 2,5-Furfural (BHMF) is a structurally symmetrical and stable furan glycol, an important precursor for the production of bio-based polymers (such as polyesters, polyurethanes, and polyethers), biofuels, and pharmaceutical intermediates. Furfuryl alcohol is mainly used in the production of furan resins, tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol, and pharmaceutical intermediates; it is also a good solvent for varnishes and pigments, and a rocket fuel. Currently, there are many methods for the chemical catalytic synthesis of BHMF and furfuryl alcohol, typically using hydrogen as a hydrogen donor and a metal catalyst to catalyze the reduction of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) or furfural. In contrast, biocatalytic synthesis of BHMF and furfuryl alcohol offers advantages such as mild reaction conditions, high reaction selectivity, and a more environmentally friendly process. Selecting suitable enzymes / cells as biocatalysts for the large-scale production of BHMF or furfuryl alcohol has significant economic and practical value.
[0003] The NADPH-dependent alcohol dehydrogenase EcYjgB, derived from *Escherichia coli*, belongs to the cinnamyl alcohol dehydrogenase (CAD) subfamily within the medium-chain dehydrogenase / reductase (MDR) superfamily. This enzyme exhibits high catalytic activity towards aldehyde substrates with aromatic rings (such as HMF), making it a highly efficient catalyst for the enzymatic synthesis of BHMF. However, HMF severely inhibits EcYjgB's substrate activity; its catalytic efficiency decreases significantly with increasing substrate concentration, leading to low reaction efficiency and high product separation costs, thus limiting the industrial and large-scale application of this biocatalytic process. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop an alcohol dehydrogenase with reduced substrate inhibition that maintains good catalytic performance even at high substrate concentrations. In view of this, the present invention is proposed. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The main objective of this invention is to provide an alcohol dehydrogenase EcYjgB mutant to solve the problems of strong substrate inhibition and poor catalytic activity in the catalytic reduction of HMF to BHMF by wild-type alcohol dehydrogenase EcYjgB in the prior art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of the present invention is as follows:
[0006] According to a first aspect of the present invention, a mutant of NADPH-dependent alcohol dehydrogenase EcYjgB is provided, comprising a protein mutated based on the wild-type alcohol dehydrogenase EcYjgB shown in SEQ ID NO.1, wherein the mutation includes mutations occurring at any one or more of the following sites: S46, E51, W52, F54, T92, I108, A114, P116, I118, N240, G262, V264, L265, A286.

[0016]
[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0018] (1) The alcohol dehydrogenase EcYjgB mutant provided by the present invention has significantly improved catalytic efficiency and reduced substrate inhibition under higher concentrations of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural or furfural conditions compared with the wild-type enzyme. This is beneficial for the reaction system to operate under higher substrate loading conditions. It is green and efficient, and does not require the addition of organic reagents such as ethyl acetate or vinyl acetate to shorten the reaction time. This makes the process easier to achieve continuous and stable operation, and significantly reduces the difficulty and cost of subsequent separation and purification.
[0019] (2) Compared with free enzyme catalysis, using whole-cell catalysts can not only reduce the cost of catalyst preparation, but also because enzyme proteins have better stability under the protection of cell membranes; in addition, compared with enzyme catalysis, intracellular coenzyme cycling is easier to achieve and does not require the addition of expensive coenzymes.

The following embodiments are used to illustrate the present invention, but should not be used to limit the scope of the present invention.
[0024] The pET28a vector, pETDuet-1 plasmid, and E. coli BL21(DE3) used in the examples were all purchased from Novagen.
[0025] Example 1: Obtaining the EcYjgB mutant of endogenous alcohol dehydrogenase in Escherichia coli
[0026] The amino acid sequence of wild-type Escherichia coli alcohol dehydrogenase EcYjgB is shown in SEQ ID NO.1, and its gene sequence is shown in SEQ ID NO.2. The gene sequence of glucose dehydrogenase is shown in SEQ ID NO.3.
[0027] The EcYjgB mutant of endogenous alcohol dehydrogenase in *E. coli* was constructed using whole-plasmid PCR. The recombinant vector pET-28a-EcYjgB, carrying the wild-type *E. coli* endogenous alcohol dehydrogenase EcYjgB, was used as a template. Appropriate primers were designed for PCR amplification. The product was confirmed by agarose gel electrophoresis, and the template was removed by digestion with Dpn I enzyme. Sequencing confirmed the successful acquisition of the recombinant vector expressing the *E. coli* endogenous alcohol dehydrogenase EcYjgB mutant.
[0028] Example 2: Expression of Escherichia coli endogenous alcohol dehydrogenase EcYjgB mutant and preparation of crude enzyme, crude enzyme lyophilized powder, and pure enzyme.
[0029] The recombinant expression vector of the E. coli endogenous alcohol dehydrogenase EcYjgB mutant constructed in Example 1 was transformed into E. coli BL21(DE3) competent cells and plated onto Luria-Bertani (LB) solid medium containing kanamycin sulfate resistance (50 μg / mL). The cells were incubated at 37 °C for 12–16 h until transformants emerged. Single transformants were then inoculated into LB medium containing kanamycin sulfate resistance (50 μg / mL) and incubated overnight at 37 °C and 220 rpm for 12–16 h. Then, the transformed cells were inoculated into LB medium at a ratio of 1% (volume percentage) and incubated at 37 °C and 220 rpm until OD (digestive growth rate) was reached. 600The pH value was approximately 0.6–0.8. Isopropyl-β-D-thiogalactoside (IPTG) was added to a final concentration of 0.3 mM, and the cells were induced and cultured at 20 °C for 20 h. The cells were then collected by centrifugation at 8000 rpm for 5 min at 4 °C. The collected cells were whole cells. The cells were washed with 0.85% (w / v) physiological saline, repeated twice. Afterward, the cells were sonicated and centrifuged at 12000 rpm for 20 min. The supernatant was the crude enzyme solution. The crude enzyme solution was freeze-dried to obtain the crude enzyme lyophilized powder. The crude enzyme solution was purified using a nickel affinity chromatography column to obtain the pure enzyme solution.
[0030] Example 3: Enzyme activity assay of E. coli endogenous alcohol dehydrogenase EcYjgB mutant
[0031] The purified enzyme solution obtained in Example 2 was added to 1 mL of 30°C phosphate buffer (50 mM, pH 7.0) containing HMF (final concentration 20 mM) and NADPH (final concentration 0.2 mM). Enzyme activity was determined by detecting the change in NADPH absorbance at 340 nm during the reaction using a UV-Vis spectrophotometer. One unit of enzyme activity (U) was defined as the amount of enzyme required to oxidize 1 μmol of NADPH per minute under the above conditions. The results are shown in Table 1.
[0032] The formula for calculating enzyme activity is: Enzyme activity (U) = E w ×V×10 3 / (6220×L)
