The invention belongs to the field of
genetic engineering and enzymology, and particularly relates to a deacetylase
mutant and application thereof in clethodim synthesis, the deacetylase
mutant is obtained by performing single-
point mutation or multi-
point mutation on the 272th site, the 92th site, the 203th site, the 304th site, the 305th site, the 306th site and the 270th site of an
amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO.1, and the
mutant with improved specificity on a substrate
chloroacetamide is obtained. The mutant Y305E, the mutant Y305E / G304L and the mutant Y305E / H306F can catalyze a substrate
chloroacetamide to synthesize
chloramine and are used for subsequent clethodim production, compared with a
wild type, the relative
enzyme activities of the mutants Y305E, Y305E / G304L and Y305E / H306F are improved by 7.8 times, 9.6 times and 10.3 times respectively, the
catalytic efficiency of the Y305E is improved by 3.2 times compared with that of the
wild type, and the
catalytic efficiency of the Y305E / H306F is improved by 4.2 times compared with that of the
wild type. When the deacetylase mutant provided by the invention is used for synthesizing
chloramine, the reaction condition is mild, the deacetylase mutant is harmless to the environment, the reaction time is short, and the deacetylase mutant has the application prospect of large-scale production of
chloramine and subsequent products.
