Description

Transaminase mutant and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of biotechnology, in particular to a transaminase mutant and application thereof.
Background
Aminotransferase catalyzes the stereoselective transfer of amino groups between an amino donor (amine donor) and a prochiral ketone substrate, and is an effective biocatalytic tool for the production of optically pure chiral amines. Transaminases (TAs) can be divided into two classes: alpha-aminotransferases (alpha-TAs) and omega-aminotransferases (omega-TAs), depending on the type of substrate being converted. alpha-TAs require the presence of a carboxyl group both at the alpha-position of the carbonyl function of the ketone substrate and on the amine donor. omega-TAs can accept aliphatic ketones and amines as substrates (i.e., not just alpha-keto acids and amino acids). omega-TAs can be further divided into two subgroups, beta-TAs and Amine Transaminases (ATAs), which are of industrial value because they are capable of reductive amination reactions using a wide range of amine donors and ketone acceptors. The ATAs catalyze the intermolecular exchange of amine donors and ketone acceptors, which has received considerable attention in recent years in the production of pharmaceutical intermediates.
Although the asymmetric transaminase-catalyzed transamination reaction provides an economic and green synthetic idea for synthesizing chiral amine compounds. However, some limitations and challenges of ATAs in large scale applications have also been identified, such as a fairly narrow substrate range, unfavorable thermodynamic reaction equilibrium, and substrate/product inhibition. In general, the catalytic effect of the transaminase is significantly reduced if the group next to the potentially chiral carbonyl group is larger than the methyl group. In order to overcome this limitation, a great deal of effort has been expended to evolve ATAs to improve their substrate range, especially in so-called "bulky" compounds. Different protein engineering methods are used to optimize the available ATAs.
CN112980810a discloses a transaminase mutant derived from chromobacterium violaceum (Chromobaterium violaceum) aimed at using this transaminase mutant to convert ketone compounds having a group next to a latent chiral carbonyl group greater than methyl into chiral amine compounds with high selectivity. However, the acquisition of the transaminase mutant needs to carry out saturation mutation and iterative mutation, the screening workload is large, and the operation is very complicated.

Detailed Description
Amino aminotransferase from Xenophilus sp.ap218f can selectively catalyze the conversion of carbonyl groups, but has lower activity and poorer stability. The inventors have improved the activity and stability of aminotransferase derived from Xenophilius sp.AP218F by rational design. Mutant sites are introduced into aminotransferase from Xenophilius sp.AP218F by way of whole plasmid PCR, and activity and stability of the mutants are detected, and mutants with improved activity and stability are selected.
The aminotransferase mutant gene provided by the invention is derived from a wild-type gene of Xenophilius sp.AP218F. The amino acid sequence of the wild-type gene is shown as SEQ ID NO.1, and the gene sequence after codon optimization for escherichia coli is shown as SEQ ID NO. 2. Wherein "wild type" refers to a form found in nature. For example, a naturally occurring or wild-type polypeptide or polynucleotide sequence is a sequence that is present in an organism, can be isolated from a natural source and is not intentionally modified by human manipulation. The enzymes obtained after the expression of the genes have low catalytic activity and poor thermal stability on certain substrates.
According to the invention, the three-dimensional structure of aminotransferase from Xenophilius sp.AP218F is obtained through an online protein structure prediction tool, the three-dimensional structure (6S 4G, homology 87.58%) of aminotransferase with highest structural similarity is obtained through PDB for structural comparison, then the combination simulation of a substrate of the formula I and the aminotransferase protein three-dimensional structure is carried out through AutoDock, and finally the amino acid possibly related to the substrate combination is selected as the mutant amino acid through Pymol analysis. According to the analysis result of Pymol, a plurality of pairs of site-directed mutagenesis (W60A/D/K; F89A/D/K; S121A/F/D; Y153A/D/F, E226A/R/F, V261A/D/Y; Q380A/F/K; A417F/D/K) primers are designed, and a pET-28a is used as an expression vector by using a site-directed mutagenesis method to obtain a mutant plasmid with a target gene. Wherein, site-directed mutagenesis: refers to the introduction of a desired change (usually a change characterizing the favorable direction) into a target DNA fragment (which may be a genome or a plasmid) by a Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) method or the like, and includes addition, deletion, point mutation, etc. of a base. The site-directed mutagenesis can rapidly and efficiently improve the properties and characterization of target proteins expressed by DNA, and is a very useful means in gene research work.
The introduction of site-directed mutagenesis by whole plasmid PCR is currently a relatively large tool. The principle is that a pair of primers (forward and reverse) containing mutation sites and a template plasmid are annealed and then are ' circularly extended ' by polymerase, wherein the circularly extended refers to that the polymerase extends the primer according to the template, and returns to the 5' end of the primer to terminate after one circle, and then repeatedly carries out the cycle of heat annealing extension, and the reaction is distinguished from rolling circle amplification and does not form a plurality of tandem copies. The extension products of the forward and reverse primers are annealed and then paired into open-loop plasmids with nicks. The Dpn I enzyme digestion extension product is cut up by virtue of dam methylation modification of the original template plasmid from conventional escherichia coli, and the plasmid with a mutation sequence synthesized in vitro is not cut up due to no methylation, so that the plasmid can be successfully transformed in subsequent transformation, and thus the clone of the mutation plasmid can be obtained. The mutant plasmid was transformed into E.coli cells and overexpressed in E.coli. Then, wet cells were obtained by centrifugation, and crude enzyme was obtained by disrupting cells by sonication.
As a first aspect of the invention, the transaminase mutants provided by the invention consist of SEQ ID NO:1, wherein the mutation comprises at least one of the following mutation sites: mutation from W to A, D or K at position 60 (W60A/D/K); mutation from F to A, D or K (F89A/D/K) at position 89; mutation from S to A, D or F at position 121 (S121A/F/D); mutation from Y to A, D or F (Y153A/D/F) at position 153; mutation from E to A, R or F at position 226 (E226A/R/F); mutation from V at position 261 to A, D or Y (V261A/D/Y); the amino acid sequence of the aminotransferase mutant has a mutation site in the mutated amino acid sequence and has an amino acid sequence having 80% or more homology with the mutated amino acid sequence, or the amino acid sequence of the aminotransferase mutant has a mutation at position 380 from Q to A, K or F (Q380A/F/K) and a mutation at position 417 from A to F, D or K (A417F/D/K).

Wherein "homology" refers to the identity between two amino acid sequences. The sequences defined according to the invention by different degrees of homology must also have an improved transaminase activity. One skilled in the art can, under the teachings of the present disclosure, obtain amino acid sequences of transaminase mutants that have a mutation site in the mutated amino acid sequence described above and that have more than 80% homology with the mutated amino acid sequence.

The aminotransferase mutant is characterized in that the aminotransferase mutant is shown in SEQ ID NO:1, changing the amino acid sequence by a site-directed mutation method, realizing the change of the protein structure and function, and obtaining the transaminase with the mutation site by a directed screening method, wherein the transaminase mutant has the advantage of greatly improving the enzyme activity, the conversion rate of a substrate is improved by 95 times relative to that of a transaminase female parent under the same condition, and the enzyme stability is correspondingly improved, thereby greatly reducing the cost in the industrial production of chiral amine.
