The invention belongs to the technical field of
estrogen degradation, and particularly discloses an application of low-temperature-resistant SDR
dehydrogenase in estradiol degradation, and the low-temperature-resistant SDR
dehydrogenase RQCSRS03565 is obtained by screening from
Rhodococcus RCBS9, expressing in
Escherichia coli and purifying. According to the invention, a novel SDR
dehydrogenase RQCSRS03565 is identified and functionally verified from a
rhodococcus strain RCBS9 for the first time, and the novel SDR dehydrogenase RQCSRS03565 has the characteristic of low
temperature resistance and can still efficiently degrade E2 at a low temperature of 10 DEG C. Through structural
simulation and site-
directed mutagenesis experiments, the SER-205 is identified as a key functional residue of the
enzyme for catalyzing estradiol degradation for the first time. Discovery of the low-temperature-resistant degrading
enzyme and identification of key residues of the low-temperature-resistant degrading
enzyme provide core elements and theoretical bases for development of efficient estradiol
bioremediation technologies and preparations suitable for low-temperature environments, and the low-temperature-resistant degrading enzyme has important application value.
