Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application is based on and claims the priority of a Chinese application with CN application number 202211021644.X and a filing date of August 24, 2022. The disclosure content of the CN application is incorporated into this application as a whole again.

[0002] The present invention relates to the field of enzyme catalysis, and specifically to a method and composition for synthesizing purine nucleosides by enzyme catalysis.

Background Art

[0003] Purine nucleosides and their analogs can be widely applied as precursors or final products in the pharmaceutical field of drugs such as antiviral and antitumor drugs. Currently, purine nucleosides and their analogs are mainly synthesized by chemical methods (WO2021186328A1, CN113173961A, CN111592542A, CN111253455A, CN110627729A, CN102127135A, WO2010113937A1, WO2009058800A2, CN101250210A, US2005171126A1, EP1108724A2). However, their synthesis process is complicated, requires strict reaction conditions, and the purification steps of the products synthesized by chemical methods are complex. It is difficult to separate them from their isomers, and problems such as low yield and high cost are caused. In addition, because toxic reagents are used in chemical synthesis, it always causes great damage to the environment.

[0004] Furthermore, purine nucleosides can also be produced by microbial fermentation methods (CN112553135A, CN112574934A, CN113151238A, CN113278596A, CN112143751A, CN112126666A, CN113373100A, CN102171346, CN101120090A, CN1831115A, CN1270631A). Currently, the production of purine nucleosides by microbial fermentation methods is often limited to the production of natural nucleosides such as adenosine, guanosine, and inosine. Moreover, it takes a long time, the yield is low, and it is still far from industrial production.

[0005] In recent years, the synthesis of purine nucleosides by the enzymatic method has attracted much attention because it can avoid the above problems due to advantages such as fewer steps, high yield, high optical purity, and environmental friendliness. The synthesis of purine nucleosides by the enzymatic method can be realized through various routes using different enzymes. For example, Patent EP1457568A1 discloses a biological enzyme-catalyzed method that can synthesize 31 mM of 2'-deoxyguanosine by reacting thymidine and guanine as substrates for 32 h using nucleoside deoxyribosyl transferase II and nucleosidase. In addition, this patent combines the above two enzymes with adenosine deaminase and reacts them in a two-step method for about 30 h to finally synthesize more than 40 mM of 2'-deoxyguanosine. Furthermore, pyrimidine nucleoside phosphorylase and purine nucleoside phosphorylase can also be used in the synthesis of purine nucleosides. Patent CN102770532A discloses a method for biologically converting pyrimidine nucleosides and purine bases using pyrimidine nucleoside phosphorylase and purine nucleoside phosphorylase, which can convert uridine or 2'-deoxyuridine and purine bases into 2,6-diaminopurine nucleosides and 2,6-diaminopurine-2'-deoxynucleosides, with a conversion rate exceeding 90%, but the yield is less than 5 mM. Patent CN1207417A uses pyrimidine nucleoside phosphorylase and purine nucleoside phosphorylase derived from Bacillus stearothermophilus JTS859 and uracil and thymine degrading enzyme solution derived from the genus Arthrobacter, uses thymidine and the corresponding purine base as substrates, reacts for 110 h to produce 14.9 mM of 2'-deoxyguanosine with a yield of 75%, and reacts for 90 h to obtain 17.7 mM of 2'-deoxyadenosine with a yield of 88.5%.However, all of the enzyme-catalyzed syntheses disclosed above have problems such as low conversion rates, low yields, or long reaction times.

Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0022] In addition, the examples in the present application and the features in the examples can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict. Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to examples.

[0023] As mentioned in the background art, all of the conventional methods for synthesizing purine nucleosides have problems such as high cost, long time consumption, and low yield, which are disadvantageous for the production and subsequent utilization of purine nucleosides and their analogs.

[0024] The synthetic route of nucleoside phosphorylase by the conventional enzymatic method has many reaction steps, complicated operations, takes a long time, has low yields and rates, and high production costs. For example, the conversion by the enzymatic method according to Patent EP1457568A1 requires a two-step reaction and three kinds of enzymes, takes 30 h, and the yield of 2'-deoxyguanosine is only 40 mM. The conversion by the enzymatic method disclosed in CN1207417A takes more than 90 hours, and moreover, the yield of purine nucleoside is low, and it is necessary to separately produce an enzyme solution having uracil and thymine degrading activities, increasing the production cost. Without adding it, the yield and rate will significantly decrease, and it is only 13% - 50% when added. In the method disclosed in Patent CN102770532A, only 2,6-diaminopurine nucleoside and 2,6-diaminopurine-2'-deoxynucleoside less than 5 mM can be obtained. However, there are problems such as low solubility of the substrate purine base, instability of the enzyme, and easy destruction of the intermediate product (ribose-1-phosphate or 2'-deoxyribose-1-phosphate). Therefore, simply amplifying the reaction or extending the time may disrupt the reaction balance or inactivate the enzyme, resulting in low conversion rates and yields finally obtained, increased production costs, and difficulty in applying to actual commercial production.

[0025] To improve the above situation, in the present application, the inventors attempted to explore a new method for purine nucleoside synthesis by enzyme catalysis, and found the catalytic activity of the combination of PyNP (pyrimidine nucleoside phosphorylase, a protein shown by SEQ ID NO:1), PNP (purine nucleoside phosphorylase, a protein shown by SEQ ID NO:3), TP (thymidine phosphorylase, a protein shown by SEQ ID NO:2) and PNP from among a number of related proteins with potential activity. It was found that the enzyme solution of PyNP, TP and PNP can be used to catalyze the substrate nucleoside and substrate base in a one-step method to produce the target product purine nucleoside. The enzyme catalysis method has a short reaction time and high synthesis efficiency, so the yield of the obtained product is high. Moreover, the applicant proposed a series of protection plans for the present application.

[0026] In the first typical embodiment of the present application, a method for synthesizing purine nucleosides by enzymatic catalysis is provided. The method uses a purine nucleoside phosphorylase and one of the enzymes of pyrimidine nucleoside phosphorylase or thymidine phosphorylase to catalyze a substrate to synthesize purine nucleosides. The substrate includes a substrate nucleoside and a substrate base. The pyrimidine nucleoside phosphorylase includes PyNP, which is a protein represented by SEQ ID NO:1. The thymidine phosphorylase includes TP, which is a protein represented by SEQ ID NO:2. The purine nucleoside phosphorylase includes PNP, which is a protein represented by SEQ ID NO:3. Any of the above pyrimidine nucleoside phosphorylase, thymidine phosphorylase or purine nucleoside phosphorylase includes a protein having a homology of 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, 98%, 99%, 99.5% or 99.9% or more with PyNP, TP or PNP respectively and having the same function.

[0027] The pyrimidine nucleoside phosphorylase used in the present application is derived from the hyperthermophilic bacterium Thermus thermophilus and is the protein represented by SEQ ID NO:1. This pyrimidine nucleoside phosphorylase is named PyNP. The thymidine phosphorylase is derived from Homo sapiens and is the protein represented by SEQ ID NO:2. This thymidine phosphorylase is named TP. The purine nucleoside phosphorylase is derived from Geobacillus stearothermophilus and is the protein represented by SEQ ID NO:3. This purine nucleoside phosphorylase is named PNP. In the above enzymatic catalysis method, by using two types of nucleoside phosphatases from different origins to efficiently synthesize purine nucleosides in a one-step method, the production cost can be reduced and it can be applied to the large-scale industrial production of related products. The above substrate includes a substrate nucleoside and a substrate base, which may be a natural nucleoside or base structure, or an artificially modified similar structure.

[0028]

Chem.

[0029] In the enzyme-catalyzed method, the above A reaction is carried out under the catalysis of PyNP or TP to cleave the C-N bond between the pyrimidine group and the ribose group of the substrate nucleoside, and a phosphate group is bonded to the nucleoside group to form a ribose phosphate intermediate. Under the action of PNP, the above B reaction is carried out on the ribose phosphate intermediate, and a C-N bond is formed between the C-1' atom of the ribose group and the N-9 atom of the purine-based substrate base to produce a purine nucleoside compound. In the above A and B reactions, it is not necessary to add a coenzyme such as NADPH, and the reaction can be completed by using only the substrate and the protein. The reaction is simple, does not need to be carried out in living cells, and greatly reduces the reaction cost and efficiency. The enzyme-catalyzed method carried out by combining these two types of proteins can complete the catalytic reaction within a relatively short catalytic time, has a high substrate conversion rate, can also be similarly applied to the amplification reaction, and enables large-scale industrial production.

[0030] In a preferred embodiment, the substrate nucleoside is a nucleoside represented by Formula I, R1 is selected from -H or -OH, R2 is selected from -H or -CH3, and preferably, the substrate nucleoside includes thymidine, uridine, or 2'-deoxyuridine.

[0031]

Chem.

[0032] In a preferred embodiment, the substrate base is a base represented by Formula II or Formula III, X is selected from -NH3 or -OCH3, Y is selected from -H or -NH2, and preferably, the substrate base includes guanine, adenine, 2,6-diaminopurine, or 6-methoxyguanine.

[0033]

Chem.

[0034] Using the above-mentioned substrate nucleoside and substrate base, purine nucleosides such as 2'-deoxyadenosine, 2'-deoxyguanosine, 2,6-diaminopurine nucleoside, 2,6-diaminopurine-2'-deoxynucleoside, and 6-O-methyl-guanosine can be produced by the enzyme-catalyzed method.

[0035] Since the R1, R2, X, and Y substituents in the above-mentioned substrate nucleoside and substrate base are all far from the reaction site, enzyme-catalyzed reactions can be carried out on different substrates using PyNP and PNP, and various purine nucleosides can be produced.

[0036] In a preferred embodiment, one or more of PyNP, TP, or PNP is a purified protein, a crude enzyme solution, or an immobilized enzyme.

[0037] Through the PyNP, TP, and PNP catalytic reactions, the above three types of proteins can exist in various forms such as purified proteins, crude enzyme solutions, or immobilized enzymes, and all can catalyze the synthesis of purine nucleosides. After cloning the gene expressing PyNP and / or TP and / or PNP into a host cell and inducing the expression of the protein, the host cell can be disrupted to obtain a crude enzyme solution containing the target protein. The production of the crude enzyme solution is simple, and it has good catalytic ability, which can reduce the production cost of the catalytic reaction.

[0038] In a preferred embodiment, in the above method, the concentration of the substrate nucleoside is 2 - 400 mM, and the concentration of the substrate base is 1 - 200 mM.

[0039] The above enzyme-catalyzed method can perform an amplification reaction. In the reaction system, the concentration of the substrate nucleoside is up to 400 mM, and the concentration of the substrate base is up to 200 mM, thereby enabling the large-scale production of purine nucleosides.

[0040] In a preferred embodiment, the catalytic time of the enzyme catalyst is 2 to 18 h.

[0041] In a preferred embodiment, the catalytic temperature of the enzyme catalyst is 60 to 70 °C.

[0042] Within the appropriate catalytic temperature and catalytic time described above, the enzyme-catalyzed reaction can be completed, and the conversion rate of the substrate base, i.e., the reaction yield, is high. There is no need to add enzymes or other reagents during the reaction, and the reaction can be completed by one-step catalytic method, which is suitable for industrialized amplification production applications.

[0043] In the second typical embodiment of the present application, a composition is provided, which comprises purine nucleoside phosphorylase and an enzyme selected from either pyrimidine nucleoside phosphorylase or thymidine phosphorylase. Here, the pyrimidine nucleoside phosphorylase is PyNP, which is the protein represented by SEQ ID NO:1, the thymidine phosphorylase is TP, which is the protein represented by SEQ ID NO:2, and the purine nucleoside phosphorylase is PNP, which is the protein represented by SEQ ID NO:3. The composition is used for the synthesis of purine nucleosides.

[0044] In a preferred embodiment, the composition comprises a purified protein, a crude enzyme solution, or an immobilized enzyme.

[0045] In a preferred embodiment, the composition further comprises reacting a substrate nucleoside with a substrate base to produce a purine nucleoside. The substrate nucleoside is a nucleoside represented by Formula I, where R1 is selected from -H or -OH, R2 is selected from -H or -CH3, the substrate base is a base represented by Formula II or Formula III, X is selected from -NH3 or -OCH3, Y is selected from -H or -NH2. Preferably, the concentration of the substrate nucleoside is 2 to 400 mM, and the concentration of the substrate base is 1 to 200 mM.
