FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The invention described herein generally relates to the fields of microbiology, biochemistry, and organic chemistry.


BACKGROUND

As problems with obesity and diabetes continue to rise globally, it is of growing importance to have access to alternative low-calorie sweeteners that provide health benefits over traditional sweeteners. D-tagatose is a naturally occurring sweetener that is GRAS (generally recognized as safe) for use in food and beverages. It is 92% as sweet as sucrose and has less than half the caloric value. Importantly, D-tagatose has a taste profile very similar to sucrose and does not have a lingering bitterness characteristic of related alternative sugars such as psicose (allulose). D-tagatose has been suggested to have several positive health benefits including non-tooth decaying, anti-hyperglycemic, and a positive prebiotic effect.


The ketohexose monosaccharide D-tagatose is a C4-epimer of D-fructose. Therefore, D-tagatose is a reducing sugar that undergoes browning reactions and can be used as a “drop-in” replacement for typical bulk sweeteners. There exist established methods to produce D-tagatose from galactose (commonly produced from lactose) using both chemical and biocatalytic means. However, the high cost of generating the galactose feedstock makes the galactose route less attractive than a process that can utilize lower-cost feedstocks such as fructose, glucose, or sucrose.


SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The present disclosure provides compositions and methods for producing tagatose by epimerizing fructose at carbon number 4. The present disclosure allows the use of fructose as the source material for tagatose production, which is more economical than using galactose as the source material.


In one aspect, the disclosure provides a polypeptide comprising an amino acid sequence having at least 60% sequence identity to any one of SEQ ID NOs:1-444, wherein the polypeptide has D-fructose C4-epimerase activity. In further embodiments, the polypeptide comprises an amino acid sequence that is at least 60%, at least 65%, at least 70%, at least 75%, at least 80%, at least 81%, at least 82%, at least 83%, at least 84%, at least 85%, at least 86%, at least 87%, at least 88%, at least 89%, at least 90%, at least 91%, at least 92%, at least 93%, at least 94%, at least 95%, at least 96%, at least 97%, at least 98%, at least 99%, at least 99.5%, or at least 99.9% identical to any one of SEQ ID NOs: 1-444, wherein the polypeptide has D-fructose C4-epimerase activity.


In other embodiments, the polypeptide comprises one or more modifications at the amino acid residue corresponding to position L3, S4, K5, D6, Y7, L8, R9, K10, K11, V13, Y14, S15, 116, C17, S18, S19, S21, Y22, E25, S27, E29, F30, K32, E33, K34, G35, D36, Y37, E41, T43, P44, H45, Q46, Q49, F50, Y53, S54, M56, E59, K62, N63, F64, M66, K67, K70, E71, K72, E75, E76, D77, K78, 180, D84, H85, L89, Q92, D93, E94, S96, P97, T98, N101, K102, K104, D105, R108, F110, S113, Y115, K116, K117, H119, D121, C122, S123, M124, P125, L126, S127, D128, D129, P130, K131, V132, P134, Y135, E136, K137, E140, R141, T142, R143, E144, F146, E147, 1148, E150, E151, T152, A153, R154, K155, Y156, N157, F158, Q159, P160, V161, T166, D167, V168, P169, I170, A171, G172, G173, G174, E175, E176, E177, G178, V179, V182, D184, S187, A188, I189, S190, S191, L192, K193, K194, Y195, N197, D198, V199, P200, N201, I202, W203, D204, R205, G208, V210, I211, M212, L213, I215, G216, F217, S218, Y219, D220, K221, V222, E224, D228, K229, V230, R231, G232, I233, L234, E235, V237, K238, R239, E240, D241, L242, V244, E245, G246, H247, S248, T249, D250, A253, Y255, A256, R258, N259, E262, R266, K269, V270, G271, P272, A273, R280, G281, V282, L284, S286, N287, D290, E291, I292, E295, R296, E297, S299, N300, K302, R303, E307, D313, Y315, K318, Y319, K321, D322, S323, K324, R325, L326, E327, L328, I330, W331, N333, L334, L335, D336, R337, R339, Y340, E343, Y344, E345, K348, M349, V350, N352, K353, E356, N357, F358, E360, G361, V362, D363, I364, K365, F366, Y368, Q369, Y370, Y372, D373, S374, Y375, F376, D377, R379, E380, K382, M383, K384, N385, D386, R388, E389, K392, K393, K396, R397, E400, S403, N407, or L408 of SEQ ID NO:6; or combinations thereof.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
I. Definitions

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail based on specific embodiments and examples. However, the scope the of the disclosure is not limited to these embodiments and examples. Descriptions of details apparent to those skilled in the art having ordinary knowledge in this technical field or relevant field will be omitted herein.


As used herein, the term CN refers to a carbon position defined in accordance with IUPAC nomenclature, wherein N is an integer of 1 or more. Specifically, “epimerization at the carbon 4 position” is expressed as “C4-epimerization.”


As used herein, fructose refers to the monosaccharide D-fructose and tagatose refers to the monosaccharide D-tagatose.


The term “percent identity,” as known in the art, is a relationship between two or more polypeptide sequences or two or more polynucleotide sequences, as determined by comparing the sequences. In the art, “identity” also means the degree of sequence relatedness between polypeptide or polynucleotide sequences, as the case may be, as determined by the match between strings of such sequences. “identity” and “similarity” can be readily calculated by known methods, including but not limited to those described in: Computational Molecular Biology (Lesk, A. M., ed.) Oxford University Press, New York (1988); Biocomputing: Informatics and Genome Projects (Smith, D. W., ed.) Academic Press, New York (1993); Computer Analysis of Sequence Data, Part I (Griffin, A. M., and Griffin, H. G., eds.) Humana Press, New Jersey (1994); Sequence Analysis in Molecular Biology (von Heinje, G., ed.) Academic Press (1987); and Sequence Analysis Primer (Gribskov, M. and Devereux, J., eds.) Stockton Press, New York (1991). Preferred methods to determine identity are designed to give the best match between the sequences tested. Methods to determine identity and similarity are codified in publicly available computer programs. Sequence alignments and percent identity calculations may be performed using sequence analysis software such as the Megalign program of the LASERGENE bioinformatics computing suite (DNASTAR Inc., Madison, Wis.). Multiple alignment of the sequences may be performed using the Clustal method of alignment (Higgins et al., CABIOS. 5:151 (1989)) with the default parameters (GAP PENALTY=10, GAP LENGTH PENALTY=10). Default parameters for pairwise alignments using the Clustal method may be selected: KTUPLE 1, GAP PENALTY=3, WINDOW=5 and DIAGONALS SAVED=5.


The term “modification” of an amino acid residue refers to substitution of a different amino acid residue for an original amino acid residue, deletion of an original amino acid residue, or addition of an extra amino acid residue. The “modification” preferably refers to substitution of a different amino acid residue for an original amino acid residue. Specifically, in the present invention, “modification of the charge of an amino acid residue” preferably refers to amino acid substitutions.

Furthermore, the present disclosure provides polynucleotides encoding any of the polypeptides disclosed herein. The present disclosure also provides constructs, vectors, plasmids that comprises the polynucleotides. An expression vector carrying the polynucleotides of the disclosure may be any vector which is capable of expressing polypeptides having D-fructose C4-epimerase activity in the selected host organism, and the choice of vector will depend on the host cell into which it is to be introduced. Thus, the vector may be an autonomously replicating vector, i.e. a vector which exists as an extrachromosomal entity, the replication of which is independent of chromosomal replication, e.g. a plasmid, a bacteriophage or an extrachromosomal element, a minichromosome or an artificial chromosome. Alternatively, the vector may be one which, when introduced into a host cell, is integrated into the host cell genome and replicated together with the chromosome.


In the vector, the polynucleotides encoding for the D-fructose C4-epimerase active polypeptide should be operably combined with a suitable promoter sequence. The promoter may be any DNA sequence which confers transcriptional activity to the host organism of choice and may be derived from genes encoding proteins which are either homologous or heterologous to the host organism. Examples of suitable promoters for directing the transcription of the DNA fragment of the disclosure in a bacterial host are the promoter of the lac operon of E. coli, the promoter of the T7 RNA polymerase of T7 bacteriophage, the Streptomyces coelicolor agarase gene dagA promoters, the promoters of the Bacillus lichenformis α-amylase gene (amyL), the promoters of the Bacillus stearothermophilus maltogenic amylase gene (amyM), the promoters of the Bacillus amyloliquefaciens α-amylase gene (agyQ), the promoters of the Bacillus subtilis xylA and xylB genes.


The host organism of the disclosure either comprising a polynucleotide or an expression vector as described above is advantageously used as a host cell in the recombinant production of a polypeptide according to the disclosure. The cell may be transformed with a DNA construct comprising the gene coding for the polypeptide of the disclosure or, conveniently by integrating the DNA construct into the host chromosome. Such an integration is generally considered to be advantageous as the DNA fragment is more likely to be stably maintained in the cell. Integration of the DNA constructs into the host chromosome may be carried out according to conventional methods such as e.g. by homologous or heterologous recombination or by means of a transposable element. Alternatively, the host organism may be transformed with an expression vector as described above.


In accordance with the disclosure, the host organism may be a cell of a higher organism such as an animal cell, including a mammal, an avian or an insect cell, or a plant cell.

IV. Immobilization

The immobilization of the foregoing polypeptides and microorganisms can be achieved using techniques known in the art. Immobilized enzymes have a number of distinct advantages over soluble enzymes such as, for example, their use in continuous conversion systems. Exemplary of publications which review the art directed to enzyme immobilization are the following: Goldstein, in Fermentation Advances, Academic Press, New York, N.Y. (1969), pp. 391-424; Goldstein et al., Z. Anal. Chem., 243, pp. 375-396 (1968); Kay, Process Biochem., 3 (8), pp. 36-39 (1968); Tosa et al., Kagaku To Seibutsu, 7 (3), pp. 147-155 (1967); Silman et al., Ann. Rev. Biochem., 35 (2), pp. 873-908 (1966); Gryszkiewicz, Folia Biologica, 19 (1), pp. 119-150 (1971); Zaborsky, “Immobilized Enzymes”, CRC Press, Cleveland, Ohio (1973); Datta et al., 3 Biotech. “Enzyme immobilization: an overview on techniques and support materials,” 3(1): 1-9 (2013); Gotovtsev et al., “Immobilization of microbial cells for biotechnological production: Modern solutions and promising technologies,” Appl.

V. Methods for Producing Tagatose

The present invention provides methods and compositions for converting fructose to tagatose. An economic biocatalytic process for conversion of fructose to tagatose will likely require an enzyme that remains active for extended periods of time at elevated temperatures. Elevated temperatures prevent contamination, can increase substrate solubility and can increase reaction rate. Enzymes from thermophiles are necessarily thermostable and active at elevated temperatures due to their organism's native environment. Therefore, enzymes from thermophiles were screened for D-fructose C4-epimerase (FC4E) activity.


In another aspect, the disclosure provides a method of producing tagatose, the method comprising: (a) contacting fructose with any of the polypeptides disclosed herein or a microorganism expressing the polypeptide; and (b) converting fructose to tagatose. In some embodiments, the method comprises: (a) contacting fructose with a polypeptide or a microorganism expressing the polypeptide, wherein the polypeptide comprises an amino acid sequence that is at least 60%, 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, or 98% identical to an amino acid sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NOs: 1-444; and (b) converting fructose to tagatose. In some embodiments, step (b) converts fructose to tagatose through C4-epimerization of fructose. In some embodiments, the polypeptide comprises an amino acid sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NOs: 1-444. In some embodiments, the polypeptide consists essentially of an amino acid sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NOs: 1-444. In some embodiments, the polypeptide consists of an amino acid sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NOs: 1-444. In some embodiments, the polypeptide is capable of converting fructose to tagatose through C4-epimerization of fructose. In some embodiments, the polypeptide has D-fructose C4-epimerase activity.


In one aspect, the disclosure provides a method for producing a tagatose composition, comprising the steps of: (a) providing a starting composition comprising greater than about 0.3%, about 0.5%, about 1%, about 2%, about 3%, about 4%, about 5%, about 10%, about 20%, about 30%, about 40%, about 50%, about 60%, about 70%, about 80%, about 90% of fructose by weight; (b) contacting the starting composition with any of the polypeptide disclosed herein or a microorganism expressing the polypeptide; and (c) producing a tagatose composition comprising tagatose.

Example 1 Preparation of Recombinant Microorganisms Producing D-Fructose 4-Epimerase (FC4E)

The genomes of thermophilic organisms were searched for enzymes with putative FC4E activity. Two protein scaffolds were identified, and polynucleotides encoding amino acid sequences SEQ ID NO:1 to SEQ ID NO:23 (Scaffold1) and SEQ ID NO:321 to SEQ ID NO:373 (Scaffold2) derived from 56 thermophilic microorganisms (Table 3) were synthesized (GenScript) and inserted into the pARZ4 expression vector, generating the corresponding recombinant vectors: pA06233, pA06234, pA06235, pA06236, pA06237, pA06238, pA06239, pA06240, pA06241, pA07068, pA07069, pA07070, pA07071, pA07072, pA07073, pA07074, pA07075, pA07076, pA07077, pA07078, pA07079, pA07080, pA07081, pA06242, pA06243, pA06246, pA06247, pA06248, pA06249, pA06250, pA06252, pA06253, pA06254, pA06255, pA06256, pA06257, pA06261, pA06265, pA06266, pA06267, pA06268, pA06270, pA06271, pA06272, pA06273, pA06274, pA07082, pA07083, pA07084, pA07085, pA07086, pA07087, pA07088, pA07089, pA07090, pA07091, pA07092, pA07094, pA07095, pA07096, pA07097, pA07098, pA07099, pA07100, pA07101.

Example 2 Purification and Measurement of D-Fructose 4-Epimerase Activity

2-1. Purification of D-Fructose 4-Epimerase


The 76 microorganisms expressing D-fructose C4-epimerases created in Example 1 were dissolved in lysis buffer (lysozyme, DNAseI, Bugbuster, 300 mL 20 mM P04 pH 7.5, 500 mM NaCl, and 20 mM Imidazole). Two to three glass beads were added to each well and were disrupted by shaking at 25° C. and 220 rpm for 30 minutes. The disrupted liquid was centrifuged at 2200×g for 6-10 minutes. The obtained supernatant was loaded onto a Ni-NTA plate and shaken for 10 minutes at room temperature. The plate was centrifuged for 4 minutes at 100×g followed by two washes of 500 uL binding buffer (300 mL 20 mM P04 pH 7.5, 500 mM NaCl, 20 mM Imidazole) and two minute centrifugation (500×g). The proteins were eluted with 150 uL elution buffer (15 mL 20 mM P04 pH 7.5.5, 500 mM NaCl, 500 mM Imidazole) and shaken for 1 minute at 0.25 maximum shaking speed followed by centrifugation for 2 minutes at 500×g. The recovered protein was desalted into a buffer solution for enzyme activity evaluation (Scaffold1: 20 mM KPO4, 50 mM NaCl, 300 uM CoCl2, pH 7.5; Scaffold2: 20 mM KPO4, 50 mM NaCl, 300 uM NiCl2, pH 7.5).


2-2. Measurement of D-Fructose 4-Epimerase Activity


In order to identify the activity of the 76 D-fructose C4-epimerases purified in Example 2-1, the enzymes were reacted with fructose substrate at 60° C. The reaction was started by reacting 20 mM fructose with purified enzyme in buffer (Scaffold1: 20 mM KPO4, 50 mM NaCl, 300 uM CoCl2, pH 7.5; Scaffold2: 20 mM KPO4, 50 mM NaCl, 300 uM NiCl2, pH 7.5) and allowed to react overnight, followed by quenching the reaction product by placing the reaction at −80° C.


All monosaccharides were analyzed using an Agilent 6545 q-tof run in negative/high sensitivity mode. Sugars were separated using a Varian Hi-plex Pb++ column (100 mm×7.7 mm). A 4:1 mixture of methanol and chloroform was added to the reference mix to induce the formation of C+ adducts. Quantification was performed on the (M+Cl)− adduct of 215.0320 m/z. Standards of fructose and tagatose were purchased from Sigma Aldrich and calibration was performed from 1 to 1000 ppM.


The D-fructose C4-epimerases successfully produced tagatose from fructose. The relative conversion rates are shown in FIG. 1 (Scaffold1) and FIG. 2 (Scaffold2). Specific Q-tof traces for a subset of the FC4Es are shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4.


2-3. Activity Analysis of Alternate Metal Ions.


In order to determine the dependence of epimerase activity on metal salt type, a subset of the Scaffold1 purified enzymes from Example 2-1 were tested for activity with alternative metal salts: 0.3 mM NiCl2 and 0.3 mM ZnCl2 (FIG. 5). All conditions were the same as in Example 2-2 except CoCl2 was substituted with an alternate metal salt.


Example 3 Activity of D-Fructose 4-Epimerases in High Sugar

In Example 2-2, the putative D-fructose C4-epimerases were screened at a low sugar concentration to determine if any activity was present. However, an industrially useful enzyme should be active at higher substrate concentrations. Therefore, the FC4Es were challenged with 1 M fructose. The experiments were conducted similarly to those in Example 2-2, except 1 M fructose was used as substrate and the reaction was limited to 20 minutes instead of overnight. Several FC4Es showed activity in these more challenging conditions (FIG. 6).


Example 4 Heat Stability of D-Fructose 4-Epimerases

Eight FC4Es pA06233-pA06240 were tested for heat stability. Enzymes were expressed and purified similar to Example 2-1. The FC4Es were incubated at 60° C. for 24 hours and then each enzyme was reacted with fructose (final concentration of 0.57M) for 20 minutes at 60° C. The conversion of fructose to tagatose was measured as described in Example 2-2. The relative tagatose yield for the enzymes can be seen in FIG. 7.


Example 5 Characterization of Top D-Fructose 4-Epimerases

Top FC4Es were further characterized to determine how their activity varied with temperature, sugar concentration, reaction time, and protein concentration. To determine the temperature optimum, enzymes pA06234, pA06235, pA06238 were purified as in Example 2-1 and reacted with 1.9 M sugar for 20 minutes in buffer (20 mM KPO4, 50 mM NaCl, 300 uM CoCl2, pH 7.5) at the following temperatures: 50° C., 60° C., 65° C., 70° C., 80° C., 90° C. and 100° C. The conversion of fructose to tagatose was measured the same as Example 2-2. The relative yield of tagatose over the measured temperature range is shown in FIG. 8.


Next, the conversion of fructose over time was measured for FC4Es pA06234, pA06235, pA06238 and pA07079. Purified protein was obtained as in Example 2-1. FC4E was reacted with 1.9 M fructose in 20 mM KPO4, 50 mM NaCl, 300 uM CoCl2, pH 7.5 for 0-24 hours at 60° C. The conversion of fructose to tagatose was measured as in Example 2-2. The relative yield for the measured reaction times is shown in FIG. 9.


The effect of protein concentration was determined for FC4Es pA06234, pA06235, pA06238 and pA07079. Purified protein was obtained as in Example 2-1. The protein was then concentrated using Vivaspin 6, 5 kDa molecular weight protein concentrators. Five different dilutions of each FC4E was reacted with 1.9 M fructose in 20 mM KPO4, 50 mM NaCl, 300 uM CoCl2, pH 7.5 at 60° C. for 20 minutes. The conversion of fructose to tagatose was measured as in Example 2-2. The relative yield for the different protein concentrations is shown in FIG. 10.


The effect of substrate concentration on fructose to tagatose conversion was measured for pA06238. Purified protein was obtained as in Example 2-1. pA06238 was reacted with 50 mM-2.8 M fructose in 20 mM KPO4, 50 mM NaCl, 300 uM CoCl2, pH 7.5 for 20 minutes at 60° C. The conversion of fructose to tagatose was measured as in Example 2-2. The relative tagatose yield for the tested sugar concentrations is shown in FIG. 11.


Example 6 Thermostability of pA06238

An industrially useful enzyme will likely need to operate at sustained elevated temperatures. Example 4 demonstrates that pA06238 is stable when incubated at 60° C. for a day. To further investigate the thermostability of pA06238, the lifetime of pA06238 at 80° C. was investigated. Purified protein was obtained as in Example 2-1. pA06238 was incubated at 80° C. for 0-72 hours. Following incubation, the enzyme was reacted with 1.9 M fructose in 20 mM KPO4, 50 mM NaCl, 300 uM CoCl2, pH 7.5 for 20 minutes at 60° C. The conversion of fructose to tagatose was measured as in Example 2-2. The relative tagatose yield for the tested sugar concentrations is shown in FIG. 12. After 3 days incubation, there was not a statistically significant loss of activity compared to the early timepoints.


Example 7 Improved Expression of pA06238 Through Coding Sequence Optimization

We used our in-house DNA optimization software, Scribe™, to improve expression of pA06238. Thirty optimized polynucleotide sequences that code for the pA06238 amino acid sequence inserted in the pARZ4 expression vector were ordered from Twist Bioscience. The plasmids were transformed into NEBT7EL and the FC4Es were expressed and purified as in Example 2-1. Purified enzyme was reacted in buffer (20 mM KPO4, 50 mM NaCl, 300 uM CoCl2, pH 7.5) with 1.9 M fructose at 60° C. for 24 hours. To detect the formation of tagatose, reaction assays were diluted 20-fold with water. Plates were sealed and placed into a Waters AQUITY-H UPLC system consisting of an FTN samples manager, RI and UV detector. Separation of tagatose from fructose was conducted on an Agilent Hi-plex Pb 150×4.0 mm column (p/n PL1115-9999) with 100% water at 85° C. at a flow rate of 0.45 ml/min. Quantification was done using the RI detector channel. The purified protein yield and corresponding enzyme activity for the 30 optimized polynucleotide sequences compared to the parent pA06238 (square) is shown in FIG. 13. The most improved variant improved expression by 1.32-fold with a corresponding 1.35 fold improvement in tagatose yield.


Example 8 Immobilization of pA06238 on Commercially Available Supports

8-1. Enzyme Immobilization Resins


The FC4E pA06238 enables a one-step enzymatic process to convert fructose to tagatose. An example biocatalytic process for making tagatose from fructose involves the use of immobilized FC4E in a fixed bed reactor or fluidized bed reactor. We successfully demonstrated the immobilization of pA06238 on several commercially available supports.


Enzyme immobilization resins were purchased from Chiralvision (IB-ADS-1, IB-ADS-2, IB-ADS-3, IB-ADS-4, IB-ANI-1, IB-ANI-2, IB-ANI-3, IB-ANI-4, IB-CAT-1, IB-COV-1, IB-COV-2, IB-COV-3) and Purolite (ECR1030M, ECR1090F, ECR1504, ECR1640, ECR8204F, ECR8209F, ECR8285, ECR8309F, ECR8409F, ECR8806F). These resins vary in composition (methacrylate, styrene or polyacrylic) as well as functional group (epoxy, amino, octadecyl, tertiary amine, quaternary amine, carboxylic ester, phenyl, sulphonic, or no functional group).


The standard protocol for each resin from each company was used to immobilize pA06238 onto 100 mg resin. Two different volumes of enzyme (400 uL and 200 uL) were incubated with resin at room temperature to immobilize the enzyme onto the support. After incubation, the immobilized enzyme was washed five times with either water (Chiralvision) or buffer (Purolite). The immobilized enzyme was reacted with 1 M fructose in buffer at 60° C. for 20 minutes. The relative activity obtained for each support is shown in FIG. 14.


8-2. Metal Chelating Resins


Since pA06238 contains a hexahistidine tag, the enzyme should immobilize onto loaded metal chelating resins through a metal-hexahistidine tag interaction. The following commercial metal chelating resins were obtained to test enzyme immobilization: Ni-NTA agarose (Qiagen), Nuvia IMAC (Bio-Rad), S930 plus (Purolite), S940 (Purolite), S950 (Purolite), Lewatit MDS TP 208 (Lanxess), Lewatit MDS TP 260 (Lanxess), Lewatit MDS TP 260 (Lanxess), Relite MAC5 (Mitsubishi), Relite MAC1 (Mitsubishi), DIAION CR11 (Mitsubishi), DIAION CR20 (Mitsubishi), Amberlite IRC748 (Dow), and Amberlite IRC747 (Dow). The metal chelating resins utilize one of the following functional groups for metal binding: nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA), iminodiacetic acid (IDA), aminophosphonic acid (AMPA), polyamine, or carboxylic acid. The NTA resins were pre-loaded with nickel. For the remaining resins, copper was loaded onto the resin by incubating 100 mg of resin with 400 uL of 200 mM CuSO4 followed by washing with 100 mM sodium acetate. To immobilize pA06238, all resins were washed with buffer (20 mM KPO4, 50 mM NaCl, 300 uM CoCl2, pH 7.5) and 8 mg of protein was incubated with 100 mg for 18 hours with mixing and let stand for 20 hours at room temperature. Immobilized enzyme was washed with buffer to remove unbound protein, and then assayed for fructose to tagatose conversion by reacting with 1 M fructose for 20 minutes at 60° C. Four metal chelating resins had detectable activity, but all were lower than the best enzyme immobilization resins from Example 8-1 (Table 4).

Example 9 Conversion of Fructose to Tagatose in a Fixed Bed Reactor

NEBT7EL-pA06238 was grown on LB with 50 μg/ml kanamycin. A 600 ml culture of TBkan50 was inoculated with NEBT7EL-pA06238 and incubated overnight at 37° C. at 200 rpm. The next morning, a 10 L fermentor was prepared with 9.5 L of TB and then inoculated with 500 ml of the overnight culture. The culture was grown at 37° C. The pH was maintained at 6.2 with NaOH and the dO2 was maintained ≥20%. After 2 hours of growth, the temperature was dropped to 25° C. The culture was grown for an additional 1 hour with the OD600 around 7. IPTG was added to a final concentration of 1 mM and CoCl2 was added to 25 μM. Additional CoCl2 was added 1 and 2 hours after induction to bring the final concentration to 300 μM. The cells were grown for 20 hours at which point the fermentor was chilled to 10° C. and the cells were harvested by centrifugation. The cell pellet was stored at −80° C. until use.


The cell pellet from the fermentation was lysed by stirring in buffer with lysozyme and DNAse. Cell debris was removed by centrifugation and the supernatant was filtered through a 0.45 micron filter. Filtered supernatant was incubated with Ni-NTA agarose resin and then enzyme was eluted with imidazole. Purified FC4E pA06238 was immobilized onto 5.25 grams of ECR8204F resin using the standard published protocol from Purolite.


The immobilized enzyme was loaded into a 11×300 mm glass fixed bed reactor and run for approximately 200 h at constant temperature (60° C.) with a constant feed composition of 30 wt % fructose+70 wt % aqueous buffer solution (20 mM KPO4, 50 mM NaCl, 300 uM CoCl2). Feed rate was held constant at 140 uL/min throughout the run. The fixed bed reaction reached a maximal conversion of approximately 30% tagatose and had a half-life of −50 hours (FIG. 15).


Example 10 Simulated Moving Bed Separation of Tagatose from a Mixed Sugar Solution

Eight 25 mm×300 mm glass, jacketed chromatography columns were loaded with Dowex™ monosphere 99 Ca/320 resin and connected to a temperature control system including a recirculating hot water system (Polyscience, AP20S150-A11B) and electrical heat-loss compensation capable of temperature control to within ±1° C. The columns were plumbed in a 3-zone simulated moving bed configuration using a Semba Biosciences Octave chromatography system (SMB unit). A degassed feed sugar solution of 10 wt % tagatose, 20 wt % fructose and 70 wt % purified water was metered into the SMB unit via a dual-piston positive displacement pump (Octave 100) including pre- and post-filters and pulse-dampening to ensure smooth continuous flow at specified volumetric flow rates. The eluent feed to the system was a degassed purified water solution, similarly, fed to the SMB unit using a larger dual-piston positive displacement pump (Octave 300) including pre- and post-filters and pulse-dampening. At steady-state, a smaller extract stream was continuously withdrawn from the unit using a third dual-piston positive displacement pump (Octave 100), while the larger raffinate stream flowed from the unit via a back-pressure control valve. Product rates were monitored intermittently by manual volumetric measurement.


A range of experiments were performed to demonstrate purification of tagatose in the extract stream. In Condition 1 the SMB separation was performed on 1 L of the degassed sugar feed solution, collecting 3.6 L of extract and 12.2 L of raffinate over 24 h. Table 5 shows that a highly purified tagatose stream can be collected using SMB separation.

Example 11 Isothermal Batch Crystallization of Tagatose from a Mixed Sugar Solution

A mixed sugar solution comprising 200 g tagatose, and 50 g fructose was solvated in 120 g water by gently heating the solution with rotary agitation using a rotary evaporator (Eyela, N-1200BS) to a temperature of 60° C. Isothermal batch crystallization was performed by pulling vacuum of the evaporation flask to a constant pressure of 100 mmHg, then slowly evaporating water from the flask under constant vacuum over a 270 min period. Once 20 ml of condensate had been collected, the experiment was paused briefly, 0.25 g of pure tagatose seed crystals were added to the flask, and then vacuum conditions were restored, and the evaporation was continued. Slow crystallization was observed. The experiment was continued until 80 ml condensate had been collected, after which the flask was quickly disconnected from the rotary evaporator and the slurry of mother liquor and crystals was quickly filtered via a Buchner funnel fitted with a cellulose filter. The collected crystals were washed with 62.5 g of ice-cold water, then dried under vacuum at 60° C. for 2 h. The final tagatose crystals contained 98.51 wt % tagatose and 1.49 wt % fructose, a significant improvement versus the feed mixture.


Example 12 Active Site Mutants Improve FC4E Activity

12-1. Active Site Mutants of pA06234


Active site mutants of pA06234 were generated to determine the impact of these residues on catalysis. For each mutant, primer pairs were designed to 1) open the parent CDS at the desired insertion point (omitting the codon intended to be replaced) and 2) split the plasmid backbone within the antibiotic selection marker. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) then successfully generated two linear fragments from each plasmid. The new, desired codon was embedded in the forward primer of the first PCR. Primers were designed to also include flanking homology. Subsequent two-way flanking homology-based DNA assembly produced plasmids used to transform our standard cloning strain. After confirming DNA sequence by Sanger sequencing, sequence-perfect plasmids were used to transform NEBT7EL.


FC4E active site mutants (SEQ ID NOs: 24-45) were expressed and purified as in Example 2-1. Purified enzyme was reacted with 1.9 M fructose in buffer (20 mM KPO4, 50 mM NaCl, 300 uM COCl2) overnight at 60° C. Conversion of fructose to tagatose was measured as in Example 2-2 (FIG. 16). Promising active site mutants with tagatose conversion similar to or better than the parent were further investigated by reacting with fructose for 20 minutes. Four mutants with increased activity compared to the parent enzyme (pA06234) are shown in Table 6.

12-2. Transferring pA06234 Active Site Mutations into pA06238


The native FC4Es (SEQ ID NOs: 1-23, 321-373) are sufficiently similar (FIG. 17) that beneficial mutations in one enzyme can be transferred to the corresponding position in another FC4E enzyme and have correspondingly beneficial impacts. We demonstrate this by transferring the top three mutations from Example 12-1 (Y64F, E178A, Y361A) into the pA06238 sequence (Y53F, D167A, Y340A; SEQ ID NO: 231). The polynucleotide sequence for SEQ ID NO: 231 was ordered from Twist Bioscience. The plasmid was transformed, and the protein was expressed and purified as in Example 2-1. The purified enzyme was reacted with 1.9 M fructose in buffer (20 mM KPO4, 50 mM NaCl, 300 uM COCl2) for 24 hours at 60° C. The mutant enzyme, SEQ ID NO: 231, had a 1.4-fold improvement in tagatose conversion compared to the parent enzyme, pA06238.


12-3. Active Site Mutants of pA06238


Forty-two active site residue positions in pA06238 were chosen for site-saturation mutagenesis to create a library of pA06238 mutants. Mutant plasmids were generated similar to Example 12-1, except that primers were used that encoded all amino acids at the specified mutant residue position, and clones were selected for use without sequence verification.


FC4Es from the mutant library were expressed and purified similar to Example 2-1. Purified enzyme was reacted with 1.9 M fructose in buffer (20 mM KPO4, 50 mM NaCl, 300 uM CoCl2, pH 7.5) at 60° C. for 1 and 24 hours. Conversion of fructose to tagatose was measured as in Example 7. Fold increase in percent tagatose conversion for each tested mutant is shown in FIG. 18 (1 hour data) and FIG. 19 (24 hour measurements). The following wild-type residue positions had mutant library members that showed increased conversion of tagatose compared to their parent FC4E: T43, P44, H45, Q46, Y53, D84, L89, Q92, H119, C122, S123, M124, T166, D167, V168, P169, I170, A171, G173, G174, E175, E176, G178, V210, M212, S248, T249, K269, V270, P272, L335, R337, R339, Y340. The top mutants from the library were sequenced and are included here as SEQ ID NOs: 371-444.


Example 13 Computational Design of pA06238 to Improve Expression and Stability

Computational design of pA06238 guided by native sequence alignment was used to improve protein expression and stability. In order for a given amino acid at a specific residue position to be allowed in the final design, it had to pass two filters: one based on native sequence alignment and one based on computational modeling. A position-specific scoring matrix (PSSM) was created from a native sequence alignment. Two different alignments were used: 1) aligned sequences were only from thermophilic organisms and 2) aligned sequences were allowed from any organism. Any amino acid with a positive score in the PSSM passed the first filter. For each passing amino acid, the Archytas™ protein design software was used to predict if mutating to the given amino acid was predicted to have a ΔΔG below a given cutoff. Several cutoffs, −2.5, −2.0, −1.5, −1.0, −0.5, were used to select the final designs. All amino acids that passed both filters were combined in a final computational design. Homology models of pA06238 built with Archytas™ were used as input for both the ΔΔG calculations and final computational designs.


Ninety two designed enzymes were chosen for characterization (FIG. 20). The number of mutations per design ranged from 2-47 with an average of 15 mutations per design. Mutations occurred at 138 residue positions within pA06238. A sequence alignment of the designs with all mutations highlighted is shown in FIG. 20. Polynucleotide sequences for the 92 designed enzymes (SEQ ID NOs: 46-136) were ordered from Twist Bioscience. The plasmids were transformed, and the protein was expressed and purified as in Example 2-1. The purified FC4Es were reacted with 1.9 M fructose in buffer (20 mM KPO4, 50 mM NaCl, 300 uM COCl2) for 24 hours at 60° C. The fold change in total conversion (total purified protein multiplied by percent conversion to tagatose for a standard amount of enzyme) is shown in FIG. 21.


Example 14 Computational Design of pA06238 for Increased Stability

Enzyme inactivation has been observed when enzymes are exposed to aldehydes (Jennewein et al., 2006; Lorenzo et al., 2007). Lysines and to a lesser extent cysteines are particularly susceptible to modification by aldehydes, causing enzyme inactivation. The Archytas™ design software was used to design mutants of pA06238 with a reduced number of exposed lysine and cysteine residues. 184 designed lysine mutant enzymes were chosen to be experimentally characterized. Half of the designed mutants only mutated lysine and cysteine residues (SEQ ID NOs: 137-231; FIG. 22), and the other half allowed mutations surrounding the lysine and cysteine positions (SEQ ID NOs: 232-320; FIG. 23). The mutants were ordered from Twist Bioscience and tested for FC4E activity. The plasmids were transformed, and the enzymes were expressed and purified as in Example 2-1. The purified FC4Es were reacted with 1.9M fructose in buffer (20 mM KPO4, 50 mM NaCl, 300 uM COCl2) for 24 hours at 60° C. The fold change in tagatose conversion for a subset of lysine mutants is shown in FIG. 24.
