Description

Method for screening enzyme capable of converting L-amino acid into 2-keto acid
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of 2-keto acid and D-amino acid biocatalysis synthesis.
Background
In recent years, the development of metabolic engineering and synthetic biology has led to great success in the fermentation of L-amino acids. Global amino acid production in 2017 was about 850 ten thousand tons, which is expected to reach 1100 ten thousand tons in 2022. With the further development of modern biotechnology, the production cost of L-amino acids is continually decreasing. China is used as a large country for producing and consuming amino acids, and large-scale amino acid products are in a state of being supplied and required for a long time. Therefore, the production of high value-added products using L-amino acids as the initial raw material is a problem to be solved urgently.
2-keto acid plays an important role in metabolism of humans and animals as a direct precursor substance for L-amino acid synthesis, and is widely used in the fields of medicine, food, agriculture, and the like. However, the synthesis of 2-keto acid is currently mainly dependent on chemical methods, which require expensive catalysts or special starting compounds, and thus have the disadvantages of high production cost, unfriendly environment and the like.
The biological enzyme method for catalyzing the conversion of the natural L-amino acid into the 2-keto acid has outstanding advantages in terms of sustainability: renewable resources are used as starting materials, mild reaction conditions and high atomic economy. Based on this, four classes of enzymes have been found to catalyze the production of 2-keto acids from L-amino acids, namely L-amino acid dehydrogenase (LADH), L-amino acid oxidase (LAAO), L-amino acid deaminase (LAAD) and L-amino acid Aminotransferase (AT).
While high efficiency and high enantioselectivity and regioselectivity give ATs the ability to participate in enzymatic cascades and 2-keto acid synthesis, ATs generally accept only a set of similar amino acids as substrates, and this substrate tolerance has prevented widespread use of the technology. In addition, some amino acids (e.g., threonine, lysine, and arginine) do not have the corresponding transaminases or some transaminases have low activity. Therefore, how to find a novel AT compatible with the above reaction system by bioinformatics means to expand the substrate acceptance range has become a difficulty in the research of the art.
Since chiral unnatural amino acids have received increasing attention in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries in recent years, there is a great need for an economical and efficient method for synthesizing D-amino acids and N-methylated amino acids from produced 2-keto acids.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention aims at providing a method for screening an enzyme capable of converting L-amino acid into 2-keto acid, which comprises the following steps: scoring the sequences in the final database with each subfamily HMM profile to obtain sequences with E values below 0.001; resulting in 15 ATs belonging to class I and II.
Further, the method for obtaining the sequence in the final database comprises the following steps: the non-studied AspAT/ARAT and AlaAT sequences from bacterial and archaeal sources in the UniprotKB database were downloaded as a dataset, and the redundant sequences were removed from the dataset to give the sequence of the final database.
Further, the method for establishing the HMM subfamily map comprises the following steps: retrieving the confirmed AspAT/ARAT and AlaAT sequences from Swiss-Port; redundancy was removed from these sequences and HMMER software packages were used to build HMM subfamily maps.
Still further, the method for removing redundant sequences is to remove sequences with the number of amino acids more than 200 and the similarity with AspAT/ARAT or AlaAT sequences less than 90%.
The invention has the beneficial effects that:
1, AT sources are wide, heterologous expression is easy, and expensive cofactors are not required to be added additionally; high activity, high stereoselectivity, etc.
2. The cheap and renewable substrate and cofactor are used, no other cofactor regeneration system is added, the unfavorable chemical balance is transferred to the synthesis direction of the product, and the inhibition effect of 2-ketoglutarate on aminotransferase is weakened.
3. The reaction condition is mild (pH 8.0-8.5, 30 ℃), the substrate conversion rate is high, the HPLC yield of the target compound is high (> 92.7%), and the product has high stereoselectivity (ee value of product > 99%).

Detailed Description
1. In AT families I and II, aspAT and ARAT are classified into the same subfamily (AspAT/ARAT) according to protein structure and sequence characteristics; alaAT is classified as another subfamily in classes I and II due to its large sequence difference from AspAT/ARAT.
TABLE 1 class of transaminases and their substrate profile
2. AspAT/ARAT and AlaAT sequences, which have been confirmed by experimental studies, were retrieved from Swiss-Port for use in constructing family sequence maps.
3. These sequences were de-redundant, removing sequences with more than 90% similarity. The remaining sequences were aligned in subfamilies using the MAFFT, V7.419 software package, and HMM subfamily patterns were created using HMMER3.2.1 software package.
4. Downloading non-researched AspAT/ARAT and AlaAT sequences from bacteria and archaea in the UniprotKB database as a data set, and removing redundant sequences from the data set to obtain the sequence of a final database;
the method for removing the redundant sequence is to remove the sequence with the number of amino acids less than 200 and the similarity with the AspAT/ARAT or AlaAT sequence more than 90% by using a CD-HIT software package.
5. Sequences in the final database were scored (parameters set to default values, sequences with E values below 0.001 were retained) using each subfamily HMM profile, and plotted in a 2-dimensional plane according to the final scoring values (fig. 2).
The number of sequences drawn together in two-dimensional space is 2667; such as scoring of sequences that are typically AspAT/ARAT or AlaAT, are clearly biased towards AspAT/ARAT or AlaAT.
Based on the distribution of sequences, 15 ATs belonging to class I and II were selected as candidate sequences.
TABLE 2 information of 15 AT's selected from families I and II
The related protein sequence can be obtained by searching an Access ID on Uniprot.
6. The candidate sequence was cloned into pET-28a vector and expressed in E.coli BL21 (DE 3), and then affinity purified using His tag. Two proteins AlaAT7 and ATI2, which are not expressed sufficiently in E.coli, were removed. The remaining 13 ATs were expressed in soluble form and purified to obtain higher purity proteins.
7. The activity and specificity of the 13 ATs for 18L-amino acids other than L-Pro and L-Glu were measured (Table 3).
It can be seen that ATs of different origins exhibit complementary substrate specificities, and that these aminotransferases are able to tolerate most L-amino acid substrates (14).
Table 3. Activity of the screened AT on 18L-amino acids.
TABLE 3 continuity
Activity unit: u/mg (1U equals the amount of enzyme required to catalyze the production of 1. Mu. Mol of product per minute)
Activity measurement conditions: the reaction system consisted of 0.2M phosphate buffer (pH 7.5), 20mM L-amino acid, 10mM 2-ketoglutarate, 10. Mu.g/ml ATs and 20. Mu.MPLP, measured in 1mL reaction system at 30℃at 200 rpm.
8. Catalytic ability of enzymes in 2-keto acid synthesis
An AT having a higher activity on a single substrate is selected as a candidate enzyme. The 9L-amino acids shown in Table 4 were tested and all enzymatic reactions were performed in a shaker to ensure oxygen supplementation. Almost all of the L-amino acids tested can be efficiently converted to the corresponding 2-keto acids by enzymatic cascade reactions with higher conversion (> 99%) within 24 hours (Table 4).
Notably, since glyoxylic acid, oxalacetic acid and B-indolylpyruvic acid readily undergo β -decarboxylation side reaction spontaneously at neutral pH, the maximum yields of the above 2-keto acids obtained by kinetic control reach 31.9%, 40% and 78.9%, respectively.
