Ketoreductase mutant and use thereof

Abstract

The present invention relates to the technical field of genetic engineering, and specifically relates to a ketoreductase mutant and the use thereof. The ketoreductase mutant has one or more amino acid mutations as compared to the amino acid sequence of a wild-type ketoreductase as shown in SEQ ID NO. 2, wherein the wild-type ketoreductase is derived from Chryseobacterium sp. When a ketoreductase and a mutant thereof are used in the resolution of a mirogabalin intermediate, the chiral purity of a target product is 99.9% or more. Compared with currently reported methods for synthesizing a target product, the use of the ketoreductase and the mutant thereof for target product synthesis avoids the use of a metal catalyst, thereby making the process environmentally friendly and reducing the cost. In addition, the ketoreductase mutant simplifies the resolution process steps while improving the chiral purity of a target product, resulting in a simple synthesis method.

Description

A ketone reductase mutant and its uses

[0001] priority

[0002] This invention claims priority to the earlier application filed on December 26, 2024, with China National Intellectual Property Administration, patent application number 202411937177.4, entitled "A Ketoreductase Mutant and Its Uses Thereof". The entire contents of the aforementioned earlier application are incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field

[0003] This disclosure relates to the field of genetic engineering technology, specifically to a ketone reductase mutant and its uses. Background Technology

[0004] Currently, the synthesis of milobalin intermediate (compound II, (1R,5S)-3-ethylbicyclo[3.2.0]hepten-3-en-6-one) is mostly carried out using chemical methods (CN103987687B). In these chemical processes, the use of metal catalysts leads to high production costs, and in order to obtain a product with high chiral purity, some of the target product is lost, ultimately resulting in a low yield of the final product. Enzyme catalysis is a mild, efficient, and green chemical technology that has attracted much attention from industry and academia in recent years due to its excellent performance in asymmetric synthesis and chiral resolution. Utilizing the high specificity, exactness, and stereoselectivity of enzymes, the efficient resolution of key milobalin intermediates can be achieved. CN104245951B provides a commercial ketone reductase for resolving compound II, an intermediate of milobalin. However, the chiral purity of the final product (compound II) obtained by this enzyme is low at 98.85% (ee: 97.7%), which requires additional purification steps in subsequent synthesis steps and does not meet the current requirement of chiral purity greater than 99.5% (ee: 99%) for this type of pharmaceutical intermediate.

[0005] Therefore, it is of great significance to provide a highly active and selective ketone reductase for the separation of key intermediates of milobalin. Summary of the Invention

[0033] The following provides a further explanation of a ketone reductase mutant provided in this disclosure and its uses.

[0034] Example 1: Screening of target ketone reductase

[0035] Screening principle: Compound I is a racemic mixture comprising compounds of formula II and formula III. Ideally, the target ketone reductase can selectively reduce compound III in compound I to compound IV, from which the target compound, formula II, can be obtained. When over-reduction occurs, compound II in compound I will be reduced to compound V. This can lead to synthesis failure of the target compound or a decrease in the chiral purity of the product. Therefore, by analyzing the composition and content of the product, target ketone reductases can be screened.

[0036] Measure 20 mL of phosphate buffer (pH 7.0), then weigh out the coenzyme NADP. + 20 mg of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NAPDP), 40 mg of glucose dehydrogenase, and 600 mg of glucose were added to a buffer solution and mixed well. 200 μL of this buffer solution was added to each well of a 96-well plate containing the enzyme. 10 μL of compound I was added to each well of the same 96-well plate. After reacting at 30°C for 18 h, the mixture was quenched and diluted with 800 μL of methanol before being sent for analysis. The screening results are shown in Table 1. Enzyme #7, which showed the best overall catalytic performance, was a ketone reductase derived from *Chryseobacterium* sp. (its sequence was retrieved from the NCBI database and synthesized by General Biotech).

[0037] Table 1: Ketoreductase Screening

[0038] Example 2: Construction of a ketone reductase mutant library derived from Chryseobacterium sp.

[0039] Using the ketone reductase gene of *Chryseobacterium* sp. as a template, the nucleotide sequence of the parental template LG-23 is shown in SEQ ID NO.1, and the amino acid sequence is shown in SEQ ID NO.2. Structural analysis was performed using the molecular structure simulation tool (Chimera). Based on the protein structure analysis results, target amino acid mutation sites were selected: H145, H42, Q97, S153, A150, A91, and L194. Multiple primers targeting these mutation sites were designed and synthesized (see Table 2). After obtaining the primers, the PCR reaction conditions were optimized (pre-denaturation: 98℃, 3 min; denaturation: 98℃, 10 s; annealing: 57℃, 15 s; extension: 72℃, 3 min; final extension: 72℃, 5 min; number of cycles: 30) to amplify the gene and obtain the PCR product. The PCR products were digested, concentrated and desalted using a DNA purification kit (Beyotime, product number: D0033), and then transformed into *E. coli* competent cells BL21(DE3). The cells were plated on kanamycin-resistant plates and incubated overnight at 37°C inverted mode to obtain single colonies. The next day, the single colonies were picked and transferred to 96-well plates (H145, H42, Q97, S153, and L194), respectively. 300 μL of LB (Luria-Bertani) medium was added, and the cells were incubated overnight. After preserving 100 μL of the culture, 400 μL of LB medium was added, and the cells were incubated at 37°C for approximately 5 hours. Then, 100 μL of LB medium containing isopropyl-β-D-thiogalactoside (IPTG) was added, and the cells were induced to culture overnight at 25°C. The supernatant was removed by centrifugation to obtain the ketone reductase mutant library.

[0042] Example 3: Screening and Sequencing Identification of Mutant Libraries

[0043] Measure 20 mL of phosphate buffer (pH 7.0), then weigh out NADP. + 20 mg of glucose dehydrogenase, 40 mg of glucose, and 600 mg of glucose were added to phosphate buffer (pH 5.0-9.0) and mixed well. 200 μL of the above mixture was added to each well of the prepared Chryseobacterium sp. ketone reductase mutant library. The bacterial cells were resuspended, and then 5 μL of compound I was added. The mixture was shaken and incubated at 15-30°C and 300 rpm for approximately 8-18 hours. The reaction was quenched with 800 μL of methanol, centrifuged, and analyzed by liquid chromatography to detect the compound results. Bacteria from wells with good reactions were then recultured and sent to General Biotechnology for gene sequencing. Analysis showed that amino acid at position 145 was the key amino acid controlling the enzyme's selectivity (affecting the resolution). Amino acid steric hindrance analysis, as shown in Table 3, showed that when histidine at position 145 was replaced with sterically more sterically hindered tyrosine (H145Y), tryptophan (H145W), or phenylalanine (H145F), the enzyme selectivity was better, and less over-reduction product (compound V) was detected in the product. When the amino acid is mutated to a less sterically hindered amino acid (H145A, H145G), the selectivity becomes significantly worse, the over-reduction product (compound V) increases, and compound V may even be the main reduction product.

[0046] Example 4: Preparation and Screening of Combinatorial Mutations

[0047] Multiple target primers were designed based on a single-point mutation approach. PCR reaction conditions were optimized for gene amplification. The PCR product was digested, concentrated and desalted using the kit, and then transformed into *E. coli* competent cells BL21(DE3). The cells were plated on kanamycin-resistant plates and incubated overnight at 37°C inverted mode to obtain single colonies. The next day, the single colonies were transferred to 96-well plates, and 300 μL of LB medium was added for overnight incubation. After preserving 100 μL of the culture, 400 μL of LB medium was added, and the cells were incubated at 37°C for approximately 5 hours. Then, 100 μL of LB medium containing IPTG was added, and the cells were induced overnight at 25°C. The supernatant was removed by centrifugation to obtain the mutated enzyme library.

[0048] Measure 20 mL of phosphate buffer (pH 7.0), then weigh 20 mg NADP, 40 mg glucose dehydrogenase, and 600 mg glucose, and add them to the buffer solution and mix well. Take the prepared Chryseobacterium sp. ketoreductase mutant library, add 200 μL of the above mixture to each well, resuspend the bacterial cells, add 5 μL of compound I, shake well, and react at 30°C and 300 rpm for about 16 h. Quench the reaction with 800 μL of methanol, centrifuge, and send for sample analysis. The test results of the combined mutants are shown in Table 4.

[0049] Table 4. Results of activity tests on the combined mutants

[0050] Note: H145 indicates that the amino acid at position 145 remains unchanged; + indicates an activity increase of 20%-50% compared to the first round, ++ indicates an activity increase of 50%-100%, and +++ indicates an activity increase of more than 100%. / indicates that there is no significant difference in enzyme selectivity after mutation; * indicates that under the experimental and detection conditions, the proportion of V increases, except for compounds II and IV; ** indicates that under the experimental and detection conditions, the enzyme selectivity undergoes a fundamental change, i.e., the main products are compounds III and V.

[0051] Example 5: Comparison of dominant mutants and wild-type enzymes

[0052] Weigh out 50 mL of phosphate buffer (200 mM, pH 7.0), and add 7.3 g of glucose, 0.5 g of glucose dehydrogenase, and 50 mg of NAD+ sequentially. + 3.3 g of ketoreductase mutant H145Y+H42S+Q97A+S153V+A150L+L194T cells and wild-type enzyme cells were used. Finally, 5.0 g of compound I was weighed and added to each reaction system, and the reaction was carried out at 30°C. During the reaction, the pH was adjusted using 10% sodium hydroxide solution to maintain the pH of the reaction system at 7.0-7.5. When the conversion rate of the mutant ketoreductase was 30.89%, the conversion rate of the wild-type enzyme was 17.85%, indicating that the mutant ketoreductase has higher activity. At this point, no obvious over-reduction product (compound V) was produced by the mutant ketoreductase, indicating that the mutant enzyme has higher activity and substrate specificity.

[0053] Example 6: Reaction test using isopropanol as a hydrogen source

[0054] Weigh out 10g of isopropanol and 50mg of NAD in 50mL of phosphate buffer (200Mm, pH 7.0). +The enzyme solution of 10g of the ketone reductase mutant H145Y+H42S+Q97A+S153V+A150L+L194T was broken down. Finally, 5.0g of compound I was weighed and added to the reaction system, and the reaction was carried out at 30℃. The results of the control experiment (Figure 1) show that the ketone reductase provided in this disclosure can catalyze the reaction using isopropanol as a hydrogen source, and exhibits good selectivity (few over-reduction products). When isopropanol is used as the hydrogen donor, there is no need to add dehydrogenase, and the step of adjusting the pH is also eliminated. During the experiment, it was found that the conversion rate was slower when isopropanol was used as the hydrogen source compared to the glucose system.

[0055] Example 7: Scale-up Validation of Dominant Mutants

[0056] Add 3L of water, 14.97L of sodium dihydrogen phosphate dihydrate, 180.54g of disodium hydrogen phosphate dodecahydrate, and 438g of glucose monohydrate to a 10L reactor, followed by 3.0g of NAD. + 30g of glucose dehydrogenase, 600g of the lysed mutant enzyme H145Y+H42S+Q97A+S153V+A150L+L194T, and finally 300g of compound I were added to the reaction system. The reaction was started at 30℃, and the pH was adjusted with 10% sodium hydroxide solution during the reaction to maintain the pH of the reaction system at 7.0-7.5. Samples were taken during the reaction for monitoring. After the reaction was completed, the pH was adjusted to 1-2 with concentrated hydrochloric acid, stirred for 30 min, and then 100g of diatomaceous earth was added and filtered. The aqueous phase was extracted with 300mL of methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE), and 500mL of MTBE was used to slurry the diatomaceous earth. The organic phases were separated and combined. The organic solvent was removed by rotary evaporation of the organic phase to obtain a mixture of milobalin intermediates. When the chiral purity of the target product compound II was 99.89%, the content of the over-reduction product (compound V) was 0.76%, as shown in Figure 2.

[0057] DMAP (26 g) and succinic anhydride (210 g) were added to the mixture in this order, and the mixture was stirred at 60 °C for 8 hours. 400 mL of water was added, and the mixture was extracted twice with TBME (400 mL each time). The mixture was then washed with 5% potassium carbonate aqueous solution (2.0 L each time) and concentrated. Compound II was given in 145.1 g, with a chiral purity of 99.96% (yield 48.3% (liquid chromatography, theoretical yield 50%) (Figure 3).
