The invention provides a method for catalytically producing
uridine monophosphate and application, and belongs to the technical field of
genetic engineering and microbial
engineering. The
uridine kinase CaUDK-F
gene with the
nucleotide sequence as shown in SEQ ID NO.1 is adopted, the
uridine kinase CaUDK-F
gene is overexpressed through
escherichia coli and then combined with
polyphosphate kinase PPK to conduct biological
catalysis on a substrate uridine, uridylic acid can be efficiently produced, the concentration of uridylic acid in a
catalysis system is high, separation and purification are convenient, and the technology is simple. Meanwhile, the uridine kinase CaUDK-F is subjected to site-specific
mutagenesis by adopting
a site-specific
mutagenesis technology, and three key
amino acid residue sites S85, L87 and E88 which influence
enzyme activity are subjected to site-specific
mutagenesis, so that the
catalytic efficiency and the conversion rate of the uridine kinase are further improved; wherein the
enzyme activity of the
mutant S85A is increased to 2.6 times that of a wild
enzyme, and when the
mutant S85A catalyzes uridine to produce uridylic acid, the conversion rate is increased to 92% from 80% of the wild enzyme.
