Description

Staphylococcus aureus phage lyase, variant thereof and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical fields of microorganism technology and enzyme engineering, and particularly relates to staphylococcus aureus phage lyase, a variant thereof and application thereof.
Background
The disclosure of this background section is only intended to increase the understanding of the general background of the invention and is not necessarily to be construed as an admission or any form of suggestion that this information forms the prior art already known to those of ordinary skill in the art.
Staphylococcus aureus is a common pathogenic microorganism and important nosocomial infectious bacteria, is a main cause of bacterial infection of blood, lower respiratory tract and the like, and can cause severe infectious diseases such as local suppurative infection, pneumonia, septicemia and the like. The rate of infection with staphylococcus aureus has increased over the past several decades, and in particular the continued emergence and spread of drug-resistant and multi-resistant staphylococcus aureus, traditional antibiotic therapies have gradually been disabled, and development of new and effective bioluminescence inhibitors to control staphylococcus aureus has been urgently needed.
Phage lytic enzymes are enzymes that digest the cell wall of bacteria that are expressed later in the infection of bacteria by double-stranded DNA phage. For gram positive bacteria, the lyase can also destroy bacterial cell wall peptidoglycan from outside to cause bacterial osmotic lysis, thereby achieving the sterilization effect. Many studies have now demonstrated that lytic enzymes have great bactericidal potential. The advantages of lyase over traditional antibiotic treatment are the high efficacy, specificity and safety of the bactericidal action. The cleavage enzymes can be classified into at least 5 classes according to their catalytic domain hydrolysis site on peptidoglycans: muramidase, lytic transglycosidase, N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase, N-acetyl muramyl-L-alanine amidase and endopeptidase.
Staphylococcus aureus phage lytic enzymes are typically composed of one or two catalytic domains at the N-terminus and a binding domain at the C-terminus. The most common catalytic domains are CHAP (cysteine and histidine dependent amidase), which hydrolyzes the amide bond between peptidoglycan N-acetyl muramic acid and L-alanine. The binding domain at the C end is usually of SH3 type, can target and recognize and bind specific peptidoglycan-related ligands on the cell wall, increases the proximity of the enzyme to the substrate, and ensures high specificity of the enzyme. The combination of the modularized structural domains facilitates the design and transformation of the lyase by using biotechnology such as protein engineering and the like, so that the lyase with higher enzyme activity, wider cleavage spectrum and more stability is obtained.

To evaluate the lysis profile of LysDZ, we examined the bactericidal effect of LysDZ on staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 6538) and 5 gram-negative bacteria (dh5α, BL21 (DE 3), JM109, MG1655, min O157) isolated from 9 environmental staphylococcus aureus (sa.dz25, sa.dz04, sa.dz02, sa.ta22, sa.2-3, sa.2hun, sa.wf107, sa.LY05, sa.ly53). As shown in Table 2, lysDZ had bactericidal effect on most Staphylococcus aureus, and no lytic effect on 5 gram-negative bacteria detected, except Sa.LY05.

2.2 Construction of the three-dimensional Structure of LysDZ25 and prediction of mutants with improved thermostability
To improve the thermal stability of LysDZ, we devised a rational engineering strategy for improving the thermal stability of LysDZ. As shown in fig. 2, this strategy is divided into three parts: protein structure prediction, protein conformational sampling, and mutant design with improved thermostability. To obtain the three-dimensional structure of LysDZ, roseTTAFold is used for the construction of the three-dimensional structure. As a result, as shown in FIG. 3, the domains CHAP and AmiC, and the domains AmiC and SH3b were linked by linker, respectively. Considering the complexity of dynamic changes in protein conformation, we performed molecular dynamics simulations and conformational sampling (10 frames) of the three domains of LysDZ, respectively, using NAMD. Based on the 10-frame conformation of the conformation collection, we designed and experimentally verified mutants with improved thermostability for LysDZ using the MDL method developed in this laboratory.
In view of the functional differences between the different domains, we selected a mutant design with an increased thermostability of AmiC domain with amidase domain (FIG. 3 b). Based on the rational strategy described above, we performed two rounds of mutant design, as shown in table 3: (1) Single point mutant design on wild type LysDZ protein resulted in 25 mutants with possibly improved thermostability; (2) The single-point mutant obtained by one round of mutation is subjected to combined mutation to obtain an optimal double-point mutant (S333V/N245R) with improved heat stability/activity, and 20 mutants with possibly improved heat stability are designed by two rounds of mutant design based on the mutant.
TABLE 3 two rounds of mutant design based on rational design strategy
# Mutated residues are evolutionarily conserved amino acid residues.
2.3 Activity determination of LysDZ25 and mutants thereof
To obtain mutants with improved thermostability without significant reduction in enzyme activity, we constructed single/double/triple point mutants and evaluated the enzyme activity of the mutants using nephelometry at 37 ℃. As shown in Table 3, based on 25 single-point mutants of one round design, we obtained 5 single-point mutants with significantly improved activity, S333V, S333I, S333L, N R and N319L, respectively (FIG. 4 a). Wherein, the activity of S333V is improved most significantly, which is 7.51 times higher than that of LysDZ. Based on the single point mutant S333V, we performed double site combinatorial mutations on 5 single point mutants with increased activity. The results are shown in FIG. 4b, wherein the optimal double point mutant is S333V/N245R, which is 1.36 times as active as S333V, 11.57 times as active as wild type LysDZ.
In order to further improve the activity of the mutant, we performed two rounds of rational design of mutants based on the optimal double-point mutant S333V/N245R, and constructed 20 mutants (Table 3) in total. As a result, we finally obtained 5 mutants with further improved activity, as shown in FIG. 4 c: S333V/N245R/A220L, S333V/N245R/K341P, S V/N245R/N342E, S V/N245R/S230E and S333V/N245R/V244L. The activity of the mutant is respectively improved by 50%, 66%, 58%, 63% and 50% compared with that of the mutant S333V/N245R, and is respectively improved by 16.3, 18.2, 17.2, 17.8 and 16.3 times compared with that of the wild type LysDZ.
2.4 Measurement of the thermal stability of LysDZ25 and its mutants
Based on the above mutants with improved activity, we performed further thermal stability evaluations (4 ℃, 25 ℃,30 ℃,37 ℃, 40 ℃, 45 ℃ and 50 ℃). Considering that the double-point mutant and the triple-point mutant are constructed on the basis of the single-point mutant S333V, only LysDZ and S333V and the double-point mutant and the triple-point mutant thereof are evaluated in the follow-up process. As a result, as shown in FIG. 5, the activity of S333V was 56% higher than that of LysDZ by 20min at 37℃and the activity of S333V/N245R was 5.36-fold higher than that of LysDZ by 20min (FIG. 5 a). Based on the double point mutant S333V/N245R, the two rounds of mutation gave 6 triple point mutants with further improved thermostability (S333V/N245R/A220L, S V/N245R/D299L, S V/N245R/S230E, S V/N245R/S230P, S333V/N245R/V244L and S333V/N245R/N304F), which were treated at 37℃for 20min, the activities were improved 11.57, 17.28, 15.75, 17.69, 10.15 and 8.22 fold respectively compared with the wild type LysDZ 25. In addition, the activity of 5 mutants (S333V/N245R/D299L, S V/N245R/S230E, S V/N245R/S230P, S V/N245R/V244L and S333V/N245R/N304F) was significantly better than LysDZ and S333V/N245R, when treated at 40 ℃, 45 ℃ and 50 ℃ for 20 min.
2.5LysDZ25 and determination of cleavage Property of 3 optimal mutants
Considering that the mutants S333V/N245R/D299L had optimal enzymatic activity at 40, 45 and 50 ℃, we selected one single, two and three point mutants (S333V, S V/N245R and S333V/N245R/D299L) for cleavage property determination. We first further evaluated their thermostability (fig. 6 a), and the results show that the half-life of the wild type LysDZ enzyme activity is only 15 minutes at 37 ℃; the half-life of the enzyme activities of the mutants S333V and S333V/N245R is between 20 and 25 minutes; the relative enzyme activity of the optimal three-point mutant S333V/N245R/D299L is still maintained above 80% after 55 minutes of treatment.
Subsequently, cell counts were used to evaluate the lytic activity of the mutants, and the results are shown in FIG. 6b, in which the bactericidal effect of the mutants was significantly improved compared to that of wild-type LysDZ, wherein the optimal mutant S333V/N245R/D299L treated host bacteria had a reduction in OD 600 of about 4log10 compared to the control and about 2log10 compared to the OD 600 of the wild-type LysDZ25 treated host bacteria. To further evaluate the lytic activity of the mutants in practice, we measured its lytic activity in milk and as shown in FIG. 6c, the OD 600 of LysDZ 25-treated host bacteria was reduced by about 1log10, the OD 600 of S333V and S333V/N245R-treated host bacteria was reduced by about 1.5log10, and the OD 600 of S333V/N245R/D299L-treated host bacteria was reduced by about 3log10 in milk at 37 ℃.
2.6LysDZ25 and 3 optimal mutant lysis experiment electron microscope observations thereof
To further evaluate the lytic activity of LysDZ and its mutants, we observed the lytic effect of LysDZ and its mutants on staphylococcus aureus using electron microscopy experiments. The results are shown in FIG. 7, where the non-lyase treated Staphylococcus aureus is full and the cell membrane is intact without outflow of cell content (FIG. 7 a); the LysDZ treated staphylococcus aureus cells began to become wrinkled (fig. 7 b); the single point mutant S333V treated staphylococcus aureus cells showed a significant increase in folds (fig. 7 c); the cell folds of staphylococcus aureus treated with the double point mutant S333V/N245R continued to increase and cell content outflow was clearly visible (fig. 7 d); staphylococcus aureus cells treated with the three-point mutant S333V/N245R/D299L were wrinkled over a large area and the cell contents flowed out in large amounts (FIG. 7 e).
In this study, we identified and rationally engineered a phage lyase LysDZ that was capable of cleaving staphylococcus aureus: (1) The protein three-dimensional structure of LysDZ was constructed using RoseTTAFold; (2) Performing structural optimization and conformational acquisition on three domains of LysDZ through molecular dynamics simulation; (3) Two rounds of mutant predictions of increased thermostability were made for the conformational set of domains LysDZ using the MDL strategy. Finally, the optimal single-point, double-point and three-point mutants (S333V, S V/N245R and S333V/N245R/D299L) with improved activity and thermal stability are obtained through experimental verification. The cleavage activity of the optimal three-point mutant S333V/N245R/D299L was increased by 17.28, 26.65, 20.24 and 50.09 times, respectively, compared with that of the wild type LysDZ under the conditions of 37 ℃,40 ℃, 45 ℃ and 50 ℃. The cleavage activity half-life of the three-point mutant S333V/N245R/D299L was 4 times that of the wild-type LysDZ at 37 ℃. Under laboratory or practical (milk) conditions, the optimal three-point mutant S333V/N245R/D299L can reduce the OD 600 of the host bacterium (Staphylococcus aureus) by 4log10 and 3log10 respectively.
