The invention discloses a 7beta-hydroxysterol
dehydrogenase mutant with increased activity and stability which is obtained through
molecular evolution,
recombinant expression plasmid containing the 7beta-hydroxysterol
dehydrogenase mutant gene and a
recombinant expression transformant and a preparation method of a recombinant
mutant enzyme preparation, and the invention also provides an application of the recombinant
mutant enzyme preparation in
ursodeoxycholic acid synthesis. The 7beta-hydroxysterol
dehydrogenase has excellent activity and
heat stability, can efficiently catalyze asymmetric reduction of 7-carbonyl
lithocholic acid to prepare the
ursodeoxycholic acid; the 7beta-hydroxysterol dehydrogenase is subjected to immobilization and then is subjected to couple by an
enzyme method with the immobilized 7beta-hydroxysterol dehydrogenase, epimerization of a substrate
chenodeoxycholic acid with low cost can be directly catalyzed,
ursodeoxycholic acid can be prepared through continuous conversion, and the operation is simple. Compared with the prior art reported currently, ursodeoxycholic acid prepared by hydroxysterol dehydrogenase through
catalysis has the advantages of high
substrate concentration, short reaction time, complete reaction, and high product purity, and has strong industrial application prospect.
