The application belongs to the technical field of
genetic engineering and
enzyme engineering, and discloses a C11 alpha-hydroxylase
mutant D118V with improved catalytic activity, wherein the
amino acid sequence is shown as SEQ ID NO. 4, and the corresponding
nucleotide sequence is shown as SEQ ID NO. 5. The C11 alpha-hydroxylase from
Aspergillus ochraceus is subjected to site-directed saturation
mutation, and the C11 alpha-hydroxylase
mutant D118V for improving the yield of 11 alpha, 17 alpha-dihydroxy progesterone is obtained by using a
Saccharomyces cerevisiae expression platform. When the concentration of the substrate 17 alpha-hydroxy progesterone is 2 g / L, the concentration of 11 alpha, 17 alpha-dihydroxy progesterone after 36 h of conversion is 1.19 g / L, and the production intensity is 758.15 mg / (L·d), which is increased by 16.67% and 172.77% compared with the wild-type CYP68J5, thereby providing an application case and basic data support for the modification of
steroid C11 alpha-hydroxylase.
