Description

Starch branching enzyme mutant and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of bioengineering, and particularly relates to a starch branching enzyme mutant and application thereof.
Background
The resistant dextrin is a low-molecular soluble dietary fiber formed by taking starch as a raw material and carrying out partial degradation and glycosylation transfer, and is also called indigestible dextrin because the resistant dextrin contains alpha-1, 6, alpha-1, 3, alpha-1, 2 and other glycosidic bonds which are difficult or impossible to hydrolyze by human digestive enzymes. The resistant dextrin not only has excellent processing characteristics of heat resistance, acid resistance, freezing resistance and the like, but also can exert good health efficacy, and is easy to produce satiety after a proper amount of dextrin is taken. It can slow down saccharide absorption in upper digestive tract and inhibit postprandial blood glucose rise, and promote intestinal peristalsis in lower digestive tract. In addition, resistant dextrins are widely used in low calorie foods because they also produce short chain fatty acids after fermentation, which help to improve intestinal flora. The resistant dextrin is listed as common food at present, and is applied to various foods such as beverages, dairy products, wines, meat products, flour products and the like, so that the resistant dextrin not only can partially replace fat, but also can improve the texture, the yield and the taste.
The study of resistant dextrins was originally initiated in japan, the pine and cereal chemical industry co.ltd, which first prepared resistant dextrins by the acid heating method and named Fibersol, AOAC defined it as "resistant" dextrins in 2002, distinguished from normal maltodextrins. Research on resistant dextrin is started in the nineties of the 20 th century in China, and in 1995, lin Qinbao and the like, pyrodextrin is prepared from starch as a raw material, and is treated with alpha-amylase and then treated with glucoamylase to prepare the resistant dextrin, and factors influencing the composition of the product are explained. In 2006, the Guangdong food institute applied for a patent on a preparation process of resistant maltodextrin, which comprises the steps of hydrolyzing the maltodextrin with alpha-amylase, treating with pullulanase, decoloring, ion-exchanging and spray-drying to obtain the resistant maltodextrin, wherein the yield is not high and is basically about 40% -45%.
Starch branching enzymes (4-alpha-glucanbranching enzyme, GBE for short, EC 2.4.1.18) are a class of glycosyltransferases belonging to the alpha-amylase family, which are capable of catalyzing the hydrolysis of alpha-1, 4 glycosidic linkages of starch molecules to produce free short chains with non-reducing ends, which are linked to acceptor chains in the form of alpha-1, 6 glycosidic linkages by transglycosidation, thereby forming new alpha-1, 6 branch points. The characteristic of starch branching enzyme makes it of great value in starch modification and preparation of starch with high branching degree, including high branching dextrin, resistant starch and dextrin, starch gum preparation, slow digestion starch preparation, starch modification and other applications.
Based on the application value of starch branching enzyme in preparing starch products with high branching degree and starch modification, starch branching enzyme of plant, animal and microorganism sources are reported in starch modification, such as the application of glycogen branching enzyme of Thermomonospora curvata source in preparing high branching dextrin and synthesizing multi-branching starch (application number: 201410579597.X; 201810116999.8); use of Thermuobifidafusca WSH03-11 derived branching enzyme Tfu0582 in the preparation of resistant dextrins (application number: 201710594597.0); use of a Rhodothermus obamensis derived starch branching enzyme to increase the clarity of starch liquefaction products (application No. 201810219838.8); geobacillus thermoglucosidans STB02 in starch ageing and resistant starch preparation (application number: 201810531948.8).
Although starch branching enzymes derived from microorganisms are a major industrial enzyme because of their high substrate specificity and high branching degree of catalytic products. However, the starch branching enzyme with independent intellectual property rights in China is less, and the reported starch branching enzyme has the problems of low enzyme yield, low enzyme activity, low catalytic efficiency and the like of a natural strain, so that the development of starch branching enzyme resources with high activity and excellent performance has important value.

In the present invention, the variants are described in terms of their mutations at specific residues, the position of which is determined by comparison with the wild-type enzyme sequence SEQ ID NO.1 or by reference to the enzyme sequence SEQ ID NO. 1. In the context of the present invention, it also relates to any variant carrying these same mutations at functionally equivalent residues.

The obtained wild-type TrGBE enzyme gene was inserted into the expression plasmid pET-28a (+) using restriction enzymes Nde I and BamH I, thereby producing a recombinant expression vector 28a-TrGBE. The recombinant expression vector is transformed into E.coli BL21 (DE 3) by a conventional transformation method to obtain the genetically engineered bacterium E.coli BL21 (DE 3) -28a-TrGBE containing the wild TrGBE gene, and the genetically engineered bacterium E.coli BL21 (DE 3) -28a-TrGBE is preserved in an ultralow temperature refrigerator at the temperature of minus 80 ℃.

Through the analysis, the 306 th, 416 th, 429 th, 557 th and 588 th sites corresponding to SEQ ID NO.1 are selected as mutation sites for saturation mutation, and a single site saturation mutation library is established.
Transformants in the mutant library were then screened using the high throughput screening strategy of example 2, from which 5 mutants with increased enzyme activity were obtained and sequenced. After sequence analysis, the corresponding mutant expression strain was cultured, induced by adding 0.1mM1PTG, and then the mutant protein was purified by using Ni column, and the mutants with improved enzyme activity were re-screened.
