The present invention discloses a T7
RNA polymerase mutant with high
thermal stability and its application, relating to the field of
biotechnology. The mutants include C125A, C216L, Q269M, C347L, M401K, W422F, Y457L, G464M, A468F, F481W, Q505A, C510E, C515P, V567P, V687E, M696A, A703T, H772K, P780K, R792M, H799G, K801G, E830G, C839N, P865L and / or A881F; the
amino acid sequences of the mutants are shown in SEQ ID NO. 3 and SEQ ID NO. 28, respectively. Methods for selecting the
mutation sites, expressing the mutants, measuring the
melting temperature, and measuring the activity of the mutants are also disclosed. This
mutant can undergo transcription reactions at high temperatures, reducing byproducts in the preparation of mRNA vaccines and drugs, and is suitable for isothermal
nucleic acid amplification techniques. This invention utilizes
deep learning to predict
amino acid mutation sites, improve
protein thermal stability, and rapidly screen for variants with high-temperature activity and stability. The new site has a significant effect on improving stability.
