The invention relates to the technical field of
enzyme engineering and
gene engineering, in particular to a
monooxygenase P450BM3 multi-site
mutant and application of the
monooxygenase P450BM3 multi-site
mutant in catalyzing a
steroid compound to generate a product C7beta. The
mutant is a
mutation of one or more of
amino acid residues 87, 88, 188 and 330 in an
amino acid sequence SEQ ID NO.7 of a
wild type P450BM3-LG-23; the mutant is a mutant of one or more of
amino acid residues 87, 88, 188 and 330 in the amino acid sequence SEQ ID NO.7; the amino acid residues at each site can be mutated into L, T or A in a same or different manner. According to the invention, LG-23 is taken as an initial template,
protein engineering and a
directed evolution strategy are combined, and a series of novel combined mutants with relatively high C7beta
hydroxylation selectivity and conversion rate on
steroid substrates such as
testosterone (TES), nandrolone (NAL), 4-
androstenedione (4AD), 1, 4-
androstenedione (ADD) and the like are successfully obtained through multiple rounds of site-directed saturation
mutagenesis. Compared with LG-23, the substrate spectrum of the obtained mutant expands 1, 4-
androstenedione, the
steroid substrate selectivity is improved to 77%-93%, and the conversion rate is improved to 94.7% or above.
