Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This application claims priority from a Chinese patent application bearing Chinese patent application number 202211296616.9 and filed on October 21, 2022, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein in its entirety.

[0002] The present invention relates to the field of enzyme catalysis, and in particular to a one-pot method and composition for the biosynthesis of arabinonucleosides. [Background technology]

[0003] Arabinonucleosides are nucleosides that replace deoxyribose with arabinose. When incorporated into DNA, they inhibit DNA replication, thereby affecting cell division and proliferation. Therefore, they can be used as antiviral and antitumor drugs to treat herpes, tumors, AIDS, hepatitis B, and other related diseases. Currently, arabinonucleosides are primarily synthesized by chemical methods (CN1042939C, CN107556356A, CN1128270A, CN103467468A, CN107892707A) and biological methods (CN106929553A, JPH10286097A, CN105237602A). Chemical synthesis, in particular, involves complex processes, high costs, harsh reaction conditions, and the need for heavy metals and organic solvents, potentially posing health risks and environmental pollution. Biological methods use enzymes expressed by microorganisms as catalysts to convert substrates into related products under mild conditions, so the operational steps are simple, the reaction conditions are relatively mild, and there is no need to use heavy metals or organic reagents that are harmful to humans and the environment.

[0004] Patent CN106929553A discloses a two-step method for synthesizing vidarabine, in which uridine phosphorylase is used to convert spongouridine into arabinose-1-phosphate, which is then separated, and adenosine phosphorylase is then used to synthesize vidarabine from arabinose-1-phosphate and adenine, with a conversion rate of more than 90%. Wei Xiaokun and his colleagues reported a two-step synthesis of arabinoguanosine. First, Enterobacter aerogenes, capable of expressing purine nucleoside phosphorylase and pyrimidine nucleoside phosphorylase, was used to synthesize 2,6-diaminopurine arabinoside from spongouridine and 2,6-diaminopurine. Second, adenosine deaminase from Aspergillus oryzae was used to deaminate 2,6-diaminopurine arabinoside, producing arabinoguanosine. When the substrate concentration was less than 10 mM, the conversion rate of 2,6-diaminopurine arabinoside was 80%, but when the substrate concentration was higher than 10 mM, the conversion rate dropped significantly to less than 50%.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0017] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the following examples.

[0018] As mentioned in the background art, in the prior art, the biosynthesis of vidarabine is mainly a two-step method, which is complicated and time-consuming, making it difficult to realize industrial mass production. Therefore, in this application, the inventors attempt to explore a one-pot biosynthetic method for preparing arabinonucleosides, and therefore propose a series of protection schemes in this application.

[0019] In a first exemplary embodiment of the present application, a one-pot method for biosynthesizing an arabinonucleoside is provided, the method comprising the step of co-mixing a substrate, a uridine phosphorylase or a pyrimidine nucleoside phosphorylase, and a purine nucleoside phosphorylase to directly produce an arabinonucleoside in a one-pot manner, wherein the uridine phosphorylase is UP or a protein having 80% or more homology to UP and the same function, the UP being the protein represented by SEQ ID NO: 1, and the pyrimidine nucleoside phosphorylase is Py The term "purine nucleoside phosphorylase" refers to a protein having 80% or more homology with PNP or PyNP and having the same function, where PyNP is the protein shown in SEQ ID NO: 2; the term "purine nucleoside phosphorylase" refers to a protein having 80% or more homology with PNP and having the same function, where PNP is the protein shown in SEQ ID NO: 3; the substrate includes spongouridine and a substrate base, and the substrate may further include a substrate phosphate to provide a phosphate group required for the reaction; and the term "arabinonucleoside" refers to a nucleoside consisting of an arabinose structure and a base structure.

[0020] The uridine phosphorylase used in this application is derived from Trypanosoma cruzi and is the protein shown in SEQ ID NO: 1, designated UP. The pyrimidine nucleoside phosphorylase is derived from Thermus thermophiles and is the protein shown in SEQ ID NO: 2, designated PyNP. The purine nucleoside phosphorylase is derived from Geobacillus stearothermophilus and is the protein shown in SEQ ID NO: 3, designated PNP. Using purine nucleoside phosphorylase and any one of the enzymes uridine phosphorylase and pyrimidine nucleoside phosphorylase, spongolidine and a substrate base can be biosynthesized in a one-pot manner using spongolidine as substrates. This eliminates the need to purify and convert intermediate products, and allows the desired product, an arabinonucleoside, to be directly obtained. The above-mentioned uridine phosphorylase, pyrimidine nucleoside phosphorylase, or purine nucleoside phosphorylase includes a protein having 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, 98%, 99%, 99.5%, or 99.9% or more homology with UP, PyNP, or PNP and having the same function (i.e., the same catalytic function).

[0021] As used herein, abbreviations for amino acid residues are as follows: alanine (Ala, A), asparagine (Asn, N), aspartic acid (Asp, D), arginine (Arg, R), cysteine ​​(Cys, C), glutamic acid (Glu, E), glutamine (Gln, Q), glycine (Gly, G), histidine (His, H), isoleucine (Ile, I), leucine (Leu, L), lysine (Lys, K), methionine (Met, M), phenylalanine (Phe, F), proline (Pro, P), serine (Ser, S), threonine (Thr, T), tryptophan (Trp, W), tyrosine (Tyr, Y), and valine (Val, V). Regarding rules for substitution and replacement, generally, amino acids with similar properties have similar effects after replacement. For example, conservative amino acid replacements may occur in the above-mentioned homologous proteins. "Conservative amino acid replacements" include, but are not limited to, the following:

[0022] Hydrophobic amino acids (Ala, Cys, Gly, Pro, Met, Val, Ile, Leu) are substituted for other hydrophobic amino acids.

[0023] Hydrophobic amino acids with bulky side chains (Phe, Tyr, Trp) are replaced with other hydrophobic amino acids with bulky side chains.

[0024] Amino acids with positively charged side chains (Arg, His, Lys) are substituted with other amino acids with positively charged side chains.

[0025] Amino acids with polar but uncharged side chains (Ser, Thr, Asn, Gln) are substituted with other amino acids with polar but uncharged side chains.

[0026] Those skilled in the art can also perform conservative substitutions for amino acids according to amino acid substitution rules familiar to those skilled in the art, such as the conventional "blosum62 scoring matrix."

[0027] In one preferred embodiment, the method includes the steps of: generating arabinose-1-phosphate and a free base from spongolidine and a substrate phosphate under the catalysis of a pyrimidine nucleoside phosphorylase or a uridine phosphorylase; and substituting the phosphate group of the arabinose-1-phosphate for the substrate base under the catalysis of a purine nucleoside phosphorylase to obtain an arabinonucleoside.

[0028] The reaction pathway of the above method is as follows: [ka]

[0029] First, the substrate spongolidine is ligated to the arabinose structure under the catalysis of uridine phosphorylase or pyrimidine nucleoside phosphorylase, with the phosphate group from the substrate phosphate substituting for the base moiety of spongolidine to form phosphorylated arabinose and uracil. Then, under the catalysis of purine nucleoside phosphorylase, the phosphate group of phosphorylated arabinose is substituted for the substrate base to yield an arabinonucleoside.

[0030] In the prior art, a two-step process is typically used to synthesize arabinonucleosides, which affects the yield of the one-pot process. In contrast, in the present application, enzymes with similar functions are screened to obtain the above enzyme combination. Using this enzyme combination, arabinonucleosides can be produced by a one-pot process, thereby improving the substrate conversion rate and the yield of the desired product, arabinonucleoside. While the conversion rate of the above one-pot biosynthetic method is comparable to that of the two-step process in the prior art, the reaction procedures are simpler, and there is no need to separate and purify the intermediate product, facilitating industrial mass production and reducing the time and cost required for the reaction.

[0031] In one preferred embodiment, the substrate base is a base of formula I, wherein R1 is selected from -NH2, ═O, -OMe, or -Cl, and R2 is selected from -H, -NH2, -Cl, or -F, and preferably, the substrate base comprises 2,6-diaminopurine (i.e., 2-aminoadenine), 2-amino-6-methoxypurine, 2-chloroadenine, or 2-fluoroadenine. [ka]

[0032] In one preferred embodiment, one or more of the purine nucleoside phosphorylase, uridine phosphorylase, or pyrimidine nucleoside phosphorylase is a purified protein, a crude enzyme solution, or an immobilized enzyme.

[0033] In the catalytic reaction, the above three types of enzymes may exist in various forms, such as purified proteins, crude enzyme solutions, or immobilized enzymes, and all of them can catalyze the synthesis of nucleosides containing protecting groups. Genes expressing PyNP and / or UP and / or PNP are cloned into host cells, and after inducing protein expression, the host cells are disrupted to obtain a crude enzyme solution containing the target protein. Crude enzyme solutions are easy to produce, have good catalytic activity, and can reduce the cost of catalytic production.

[0034] In one preferred embodiment, the catalytic time of the enzyme catalyst is 4 to 20 hours, and the catalytic temperature of the enzyme catalyst is preferably 50 to 80°C, more preferably 60 to 70°C. Preferably, the spongouridine concentration is 2 to 320 mM, the substrate base concentration is 1 to 200 mM, and the substrate phosphate concentration is 1 to 100 mM. The substrate phosphate is not limited to a specific type and includes, but is not limited to, phosphates commonly used in the prior art, such as one or more of sodium monohydrogen phosphate, sodium dihydrogen phosphate, potassium monohydrogen phosphate, or potassium dihydrogen phosphate, or mixtures commonly found in the prior art, such as commercially available phosphate buffer (PB) or phosphate buffer solution (PBS). Here, the phosphate buffer includes a buffer containing sodium dihydrogen phosphate and disodium hydrogen phosphate at a certain concentration. The phosphate buffer includes a buffer containing disodium hydrogen phosphate, potassium dihydrogen phosphate, and salts such as sodium chloride and potassium chloride.

[0035] The above method allows for a scale-up reaction, and in the reaction system, the concentration of spongouridine can be 2 mM, 10 mM, 20 mM, 50 mM, 100 mM, 200 mM, or even 320 mM or more, and the concentration of the substrate base can be 1 mM, 2 mM, 10 mM, 20 mM, 50 mM, 100 mM, or even 200 mM or more, thereby enabling large-scale production of arabinonucleosides.

[0036] At the appropriate catalytic temperature and time, 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 replenish the enzyme or other reagents during the reaction, and there is no need to separate and purify the intermediate product before subsequent catalysis. The reaction can be completed using only the catalyst in a one-pot process, making it suitable for industrial scale-up production. The reaction conditions are mild and easy to control, reducing production equipment costs, energy costs, and hazards.

[0037] In one preferred embodiment, the arabinonucleoside includes, but is not limited to, 2,6-diaminopurine arabinoside, nelarabine (9-(β-D-arabinofuranosyl)-6-methoxy-9H-purin-2-amine), 2-chloroadenine arabinoside, or fludarabine (9-β-D-arabinofuranosyl-2-fluoroadenosine).

[0039] In one preferred embodiment, one or more of the purine nucleoside phosphorylase, uridine phosphorylase, or pyrimidine nucleoside phosphorylase is a purified protein, a crude enzyme solution, or an immobilized enzyme.

[0040] In one preferred embodiment, the composition further comprises spongouridine, a substrate base, and a substrate phosphate, which is not limited to a particular type and includes, but is not limited to, phosphates commonly used in the prior art, including, but not limited to, one or more of sodium monohydrogen phosphate, sodium dihydrogen phosphate, potassium monohydrogen phosphate, potassium dihydrogen phosphate, or mixtures commonly used in the prior art, such as, but not limited to, phosphate buffer.

[0041] In one preferred embodiment, the substrate base is a base of formula I, wherein R1 is selected from -NH2, ═O, -OMe, or -Cl, and R2 is selected from -H, -NH2, -Cl, or -F, and preferably, the substrate base comprises 2,6-aminopurine, 2-amino-6-methoxypurine, 2-chloroadenine, or 2-fluoroadenine. [ka]

[0042] In one preferred embodiment, the concentration of spongouridine is 2 to 320 mM, the concentration of the substrate base is 1 to 200 mM, and the concentration of the substrate phosphate is 1 to 100 mM.

[0043] The concentration of spongouridine includes 2 mM, 10 mM, 20 mM, 50 mM, 100 mM, 200 mM, and can even reach 320 mM or more, and the concentration of substrate base includes 1 mM, 2 mM, 10 mM, 20 mM, 50 mM, 100 mM, and can even reach 200 mM or more.

The composition can catalyze the reaction of a substrate base with spongouridine to produce an arabinonucleoside. The enzymes in the composition may be independently selected from purified proteins, crude enzyme solutions, immobilized enzymes, or other forms, any of which can perform catalytic activity.

[0045] The above-mentioned composition may also be prepared in the form of a product such as a kit.
