Description
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of molecular biology, and particularly relates to an intein variant and application thereof in preparing blue copper peptide by a biological method.
Background
Blue copper peptide, also known as tripeptide-1 copper, is a tripeptide-coupled copper ion consisting of glycine Gly (G) -histidine His (H) -lysine Lys (K) residues to form an oligopeptide-copper complex (GHK-Cu). GHK is a relatively rare amino acid sequence in human protein, so that GHK short peptide generated by self-degradation of the body has extremely low content in the body. The concentration of blue copper peptide in plasma was about 200 μg/mL at age 20, and gradually decreased with age to 80 μg/mL at age 60. Blue copper peptides play important biological functions in the body, including promoting collagen and elastin regeneration, promoting wound healing, anti-inflammation, repairing DNA damage caused by ultraviolet, and the like. Therefore, the blue copper peptide has extremely high application value in the medical and skin care fields and also has extremely high market demand.
The blue copper peptide sold in the market at present mainly comes from chemical synthesis modes, including liquid phase synthesis and solid phase synthesis, and is obtained by gradually mixing and adding amino acid residues one by one to obtain tripeptide, and then coupling with copper ions. These methods can obtain blue copper peptides, but the yield is extremely low. This is mainly because chemical synthesis brings about a lot of synthesis byproducts, and some byproducts have even large cytotoxicity, so that the production and purification of the blue copper peptide consume a lot of cost, and serious pollution is easy to bring about, which greatly limits the application of the blue copper peptide. Therefore, development of a more green, economical and efficient synthesis mode is urgently needed for industrial production of blue copper peptides.

In a sixth aspect of the invention there is provided the use of an intein variant according to the first aspect of the invention in the biological preparation of a blue copper peptide.
Blue copper peptide is oligopeptide composed of three amino acids, and is synthesized in a mode of adding amino acids one by one in chemical synthesis, so that the realization is complex. The inventor finds that mRNA in a 'center rule' in a natural biological system is utilized to translate into a polypeptide chain, and the polypeptide chain can orderly realize amino acid addition according to gene coding information, so that the blue copper peptide can be obtained by transferring genetic information prepared in vitro into a cell system to obtain engineering life body expression for stably expressing a genetic information product. Thus having at least the following advantages from a technical point of view over chemical synthesis: 1) The operation is simple, and the expression of the peptides can be continuously carried out only by constructing engineering bacteria for expressing the specific peptides; 2) The cost is low, the substrates are all the most basic nutrients, and expensive materials are not needed; 3) Few byproducts, easy purification, no synthesis byproducts basically, only the metabolites of living bodies, easy separation and purification; 4) Clean and environment-friendly, almost free of pollution, and meets the time requirement of carbon neutralization; 5) The efficiency is high, the synthesis efficiency is high, and the method can be used for large-scale production and acquisition. Thus, it can be seen that the related applications of the present invention have significant technical advantages over chemical synthesis. However, the problem in the prior art is that there is no case of biosynthesis of blue copper peptide because the blue copper peptide chain is too short to be detected and isolated in biological culture. Although there are methods that make it possible to use oligopeptide fusion proteins comprising protease cleavage sites to increase the length of the peptide chain of the oligopeptide, make it easy to detect the yield of the oligopeptide during expression and use affinity tags to reduce the difficulty of purification of the oligopeptide. However, this approach requires the introduction of additional endoproteases after protein purification for the release and isolation of oligopeptides. This increases the complexity of oligopeptide production and decreases the capacity of the oligopeptide. While also readily introducing additional amino acid residues, resulting in altered properties or functions of the oligopeptide. The intein of the present invention can effectively solve the above problems. Inteins are a class of amino acid sequences capable of completing cleavage by autocatalysis that are capable of completing separation between themselves and proteins under specific conditions. The intein provided by the invention can realize directional cutting aiming at GHK tripeptide, and can effectively remove various protein tags on specific proteins.

Meanwhile, the inventors also predicted tertiary results for MCF8340111.1 and Ssp dnaB using AlphaFold2, which found that they were highly similar in tertiary structure, and thus hypothesized that the fragment in MCF8340111.1 may function as an intein similar to Ssp dnaB.

the washed cells were resuspended in lysis buffer (consisting of final concentration of 20mM Tris and final concentration of 500mM NaCl, pH 8.0) and disrupted using pressure or ultrasound until microscopic staining confirmed that no cells were apparent. Centrifuge at 12000rpm for 20min at 4℃and collect the supernatant, and filter with 0.45 μm filter.
(3) First round of filtration:
the filtered lysate is filtered through a 10kDa filter membrane (membrane package or ultrafiltration tube may be used) until the retentate volume is less than 1/20 of the original volume. Adding 20 times of the volume of the lysate into the trapped fluid, and passing through the 10kDa filter membrane again until the volume of the trapped fluid is less than 1/20 of the original volume. Repeated 3 times. The retentate was collected.
(4) Intein cleavage:
to the retentate, 1/3 to 1/10 volume (1/7 in this example) of a mixture of 0.5M phosphate buffer at a final concentration of pH 5.0 and 0.1 to 10mM (5 mM in this example) of copper acetate (copper sulfate or copper chloride may be used instead) was added, and after mixing, the mixture was incubated overnight at 4 ℃.
(4) Second round of filtration:
the incubated liquid is filtered through a 3kDa filter membrane (membrane package or ultrafiltration tube can be used) until the volume of the retentate is less than 1/20 of the original volume. The flow through the filter was collected. And (5) performing rotary evaporation and crystallization to obtain GHK-Cu crystals. And (5) fully drying the purified blue copper peptide to obtain blue copper peptide powder.
Taking part of the circulating liquid, and detecting the content and purity of GHK-Cu in the circulating liquid by using HPLC.
The HPLC results are shown in FIG. 8.
It was found that high purity GHK-Cu, up to 98% or more in purity, could be efficiently obtained by the method of the present example. And the blue copper peptide powder obtained after drying has good appearance and stability (figure 9).
