The invention discloses a bergamot
alkene synthase
mutant and application thereof, and belongs to the technical field of
enzyme engineering and bioengineering. According to the method, bergamotene synthase SanSyn which is obtained from
plant clausena lansium and can catalyze FPP to generate alpha-trans-bergamotene is taken as an object, semi-
rational design and site-specific
mutagenesis are carried out on the bergamotene synthase SanSyn, a series of obtained SanSyn mutants are remarkably improved in the aspect of FPP substrate conversion efficiency, and the optimal bergamotene synthase
mutant SanSynI273C-L514I has the advantages that the optimal bergamotene synthase
mutant SanSynI273C-L514I can be used for catalyzing the FPP to generate alpha-trans-bergamotene; the unit
cell productivity of the alpha-trans-bergamotene generated by catalyzing FPP is 6.9 times of that of a
wild type, and the yield is 6.8 times of that of the
wild type and reaches 43.58 mg / L. According to the bergamot
alkene synthase mutant, the performance of alpha-trans-bergamot
alkene synthesized by microorganisms is enhanced, and an effective technical
route is provided for
green production of industrial high-purity bergamot alkene.
