Description

INCORPORATION OF SEQUENCE LISTING

This application contains a sequence listing submitted in Computer Readable Form (CRF). The CFR file containing the sequence listing entitled “PAL2344706_ST25”, which was created on Apr. 28, 2021, and is 7,955 bytes in size. The information in the sequence listing is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.

TECHNICAL FIELD

The disclosure relates to the field of biotechnologies, and in particular to a monooxygenase mutant and use thereof.

BACKGROUND

Chiral sulfoxides widely exist in natural world, and are structural units of many important bioactive molecules, as well as important intermediates for synthesis of natural products and chiral drugs. Many chiral sulfoxides contain one or more chiral centers. Pharmacological activities, metabolic processes, metabolic rates, and toxicities of the different chiral drugs are significantly different. Generally, one enantiomer is effective, while another enantiomer is low-effective or non-effective, even toxic. Therefore, how to construct compounds containing the chiral centers efficiently and stereoselectively has great significance in medical research and development.

Baeyer Villiger monooxygenases (BVMOs) belong to flavin monooxygenases, it is usually used to stereoselectively oxidize chain and cyclic ketones to generate corresponding esters or lactones, and may also catalyze electrophilic oxidation reactions of sulfur, nitrogen and phosphorus. At the same time, the BVMOs may also catalyze the nucleophilic oxidation reactions of ketone and boron. The BVMOs have important applications in the synthesis of the chiral drugs. For example, it may catalyze oxidation of a sulfur-containing chiral precursor, and is used in synthesis of chiral drugs Modafinil and Omeprazole (CN105695425A).

Although several of the BVMOs are commercially applied, the BVMOs generally have problems such as low enzyme activity, low enzyme stability, and generation of a by-product sulfone. Generally speaking, a wild-type enzyme may be transformed by us through means of directed evolution to improve various properties of the enzyme, and thereby it may be used in production (Chem. Rev. 2011, 111: 4165-4222).

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

It is to be noted that embodiments in the present application and features in the embodiments may be combined with each other in the case without conflicting. The disclosure is described in detail below in combination with the embodiments.

A monooxygenase derived from Brachymonas petroleovorans may catalyze conversion of (3-chlorobenzyl) dimethyl sulfide high-selectively. However, for conversion of (1-(3-chlorophenyl)cyclopropyl)methyl sulfide, an ee value of a catalytic product of the monooxygenase derived from the Brachymonas petroleovorans is only 43.9%. After screening other monooxygenases, it is discovered that the monooxygenase BVMO derived from Rhodococcus ruber-SD1 may catalyze the conversion of the substrate (1-(3-chlorophenyl)cyclopropyl) methyl sulfide with higher selectivity. The ee value is 99%, but the activity thereof is lower, a by-product sulfone (peroxide) after a reaction is larger in content, an amount of an added enzyme during the reaction is larger, and separation and extraction of a product are difficult. The inventor of the disclosure aims to improve the activity of the BVMO, reduce the amount of the used enzyme, improve the selectivity of the enzyme, and reduce the content of the by-product sulfone through a method of directed evolution.

Firstly, a mutation site is introduced into the monooxygenase SEQ ID NO: 1 in a mode of a whole plasmid PCR, and the activity of mutants and the content of the by-product sulfone are detected, the mutants with the improved activity or reduced by-product sulfone content are selected.

The BVMO is used as a template, 34 pairs of site-directed mutagenesis primers are designed (M45T, V95I, C106S, D107A, T108I, T108S, M114L, M186I, P190F, P190L, L191V, L191A, C249V, C257A, C393V, C436S, L499A, L499G, G500L, S501T, N502Q, I503G, I503A, I503M, P504F, G558V, G558N, Y559F, Y559L, Y559A, Y560F, Y560L, Y560A, C555S). A method of the site-directed mutagenesis is used, and pET-28b(+) is used as an expression vector, to obtain a mutant plasmid with a target gene.

Herein, site-directed mutagenesis: refers to introduction of desired changes (usually changes represented in favorable directions) in a target DNA fragment (may be a genome, and may also be a plasmid) through methods such as a polymerase chain reaction (PCR), including addition, deletion, point mutation and the like of a base. The site-directed mutagenesis may quickly and efficiently improve characters and representation of a target protein expressed by a DNA, and it is a very useful method in gene research work.

The method of introducing the site-directed mutagenesis using the whole plasmid PCR is simple and effective, and is a more commonly used method at present. A principle thereof is that a pair of primers (forward and reverse) containing mutation sites are annealed with the template plasmid, and then “circularly extended” by a polymerase. The so-called circular extension means that the polymerase extends the primers according to the template, returns to a 5′-end of the primers for termination after one circle, and then undergoes repeated heating and annealing extension cycles. This reaction is different from rolling circle amplification and may not form multiple tandem copies. Extension products of the forward and reverse primers are annealed and paired to form an open-circle plasmid with a nick. An extension product of Dpn I digestion, because the original template plasmid is derived from conventional E. coli, is modified by dam methylation, and is chopped because it is sensitive to Dpn I, but a plasmid with a mutation sequence synthesized in vitro is not digested because there is no methylation, so it is successfully transformed in the subsequent transformation, and a clone of the mutant plasmid may be obtained.

The mutant plasmid obtained above is transformed into E. coli cells, and overexpressed in E. coli. Then, a crude enzyme is obtained by ultrasonically breaking the cells. The best conditions for inducing expression of an amino acid dehydrogenase: 25° C., inducing with 0.1 mM IPTG overnight.

The monooxygenase mutant of the disclosure is based on the monooxygenase shown in the SEQ ID NO: 1, and mutated through a method of site-directed mutagenesis, thereby the amino acid sequence thereof is changed to achieve changes in protein structure and function, and the monooxygenase with the above mutation sites is obtained by a method of directional screening. The monooxygenase mutant of the disclosure has an advantage of greatly improving the enzyme activity, and the selectivity of the enzyme is greatly improved, and the by-product sulfone content is greatly reduced, thereby a cost in industrial production of the chiral sulfoxide is greatly reduced.

According to a typical implementation mode of the disclosure, a DNA molecule is provided. The DNA molecule encodes the above monooxygenase mutant. The monooxygenase obtained by the above DNA encoding improves the enzyme activity and the enzyme selectivity, reduces the content of the by-product sulfone, reduces the amount of the added enzyme in industrial production of a chiral sulfoxide, and reduces the difficulty of post-treatment separation and purification.

The above DNA molecule of the disclosure may also exist in the form of an “expression cassette”. The “expression cassette” refers to a linear or circular nucleic acid molecule, including DNA and RNA sequences that may direct the expression of a specific nucleotide sequence in an appropriate host cell. Generally speaking, it includes a promoter operatively linked with a target nucleotide, and optionally it is operatively linked with a termination signal and/or other regulatory elements. The expression cassette may also include sequences required for proper translation of the nucleotide sequence. An encoding region usually encodes the target protein, but also encodes a target functional RNA in a sense or antisense direction, such as an antisense RNA or an untranslated RNA. The expression cassette containing a target polynucleotide sequence may be chimeric, it means that at least one of components thereof is heterologous to at least one of the other components thereof. The expression cassette may also naturally exist, but is obtained by efficient recombination for heterologous expression.

According to a typical implementation mode of the disclosure, a recombinant plasmid is provided. The recombinant plasmid contains any one of the above DNA molecules. The DNA molecule in the above recombinant plasmid is placed in a suitable position of the recombinant plasmid, so that the above DNA molecule may be replicated, transcripted or expressed correctly and smoothly.

Although a qualifier used in the disclosure to define the above DNA molecule is “containing”, it does not mean that other sequences which are not related to a function thereof may be arbitrarily added to both ends of the DNA sequence. It is known by those skilled in the art that in order to meet requirements of a recombination operation, it is necessary to add appropriate restriction endonuclease digestion sites at both ends of the DNA sequence, or add additional a start codon, a stop codon and the like. Therefore, if a closed expression is used to limit, these situations may not be truly covered.

A term “plasmid” used in the disclosure includes any plasmids, cosmids, bacteriophages or agrobacterium binary nucleic acid molecules in double-stranded or single-stranded linear or circular form, preferably a recombinant expression plasmid, it may be a prokaryotic expression plasmid, and may also be a eukaryotic expression plasmid, but preferably the prokaryotic expression plasmid. In some implementation schemes, the recombinant plasmid is selected from pET-22b(+), pET-22b(+), pET-3a(+), pET-3d(+)), pET-11a(+), pET-12a(+), pET-14b(+), pET-15b(+), pET-16b(+), pET-17b(+), pET-19b(+), PET-20b(+), pET-21a(+), pET-23a(+), pET-23b(+), pET-24a(+), pET-25b(+), pET-26b(+), pET-27b(+), pET-28a(+), pET-29a(+), pET-30a(+), pET-31b(+), pET-32a(+), pET-35b(+), pET-38b(+), pET-39b(+), pET-40b(+), pET-41a(+), pET-41b(+), pET-42a(+), pET-43a(+), pET-43b(+), pET-44a(+), pET-49b(+), pQE2, pQE9, pQE30, pQE31, pQE32, pQE40, pQE70, pQE80, pRSET-A, pRSET-B, pRSET-C, pGEX-5X-1, pGEX-6p-1, pGEX-6p-2, pBV220, pBV221, pBV222, pTrc99A, pTwin1, pEZZ18, pKK232-18, pUC-18 or pUC-19. More preferably, the above recombinant plasmid is pET-22b(+).

According to a typical implementation mode of the disclosure, a host cell is provided. The host cell contains any one of the above recombinant plasmids. The host cell suitable for the disclosure includes but is not limited to a prokaryotic cell, a yeast or a eukaryotic cell. Preferably, the prokaryotic cell is eubacteria, for example, gram-negative bacteria or gram-positive bacteria. More preferably, the prokaryotic cell is an E. coli BL21 cell or an E. coli DH5α competent cell. The best conditions for inducing the expression of the monooxygenase: 25° C., inducing with 0.1 mM IPTG for 16 h. The mutant plasmid is transformed into the E. coli cells, and then a crude enzyme is obtained by a method of ultrasonically breaking the cells.

According to a typical implementation mode of the disclosure, a method for producing a chiral sulfoxide is provided. The method includes a step of performing a catalytic monooxygenation reaction on a thioether compound by a monooxygenase, herein the monooxygenase is any one of the above monooxygenase mutants. Because the above monooxygenase mutant of the disclosure has higher enzyme catalytic activity and higher selectivity, the chiral sulfoxide prepared by using the monooxygenase mutant of the disclosure may not only reduce the production cost, but also an ee value of the obtained chiral sulfoxide is greater than 99%, and a de value is greater than 99%.

In a typical implementation mode of the disclosure the thioether compound is

herein R₁ and R₂ are each independently a C₁˜C₈ alkyl, a C₅˜C₁₀ cycloalkyl, a C₅˜C₁₀ aryl or a C₅˜C₁₀ heteroaryl, or the R₁ and R₂ together with a carbon on a carbonyl group form a C₅˜C₁₀ heterocyclic group, a C₅˜C₁₀ carbocyclic group or a C₅˜C₁₀ heteroaryl, heteroatoms in the C₅˜C₁₀ heterocyclic group and C₅˜C₁₀ heteroaryl are each independently selected from at least one of nitrogen, oxygen and sulfur, and an aryl in the C₅˜C₁₀ aryl, a heteroaryl in the C₅˜C₁₀ heteroaryl, a carbocyclic group in the C₅˜C₁₀ carbocyclic group or a heterocyclic group in the C₅˜C₁₀ heterocyclic group is each independently unsubstituted or substituted with at least one group of a halogen, an alkoxy or an alkyl.

Combination of mutation sites may obtain the better mutant. Therefore, the mutation sites are randomly recombined by a method of DNA shuffling, to build a mutation library, and then it is screened to try to get the better mutant.

DNA shuffling is sexual recombination of genes at a molecular level. A group of homologous genes are digested with a nuclease I into random fragments, a library is formed by these random fragments, and PCR amplification is performed by using these random fragments as primers and templates mutually. While one gene copy fragment is used as a primer for another gene copy, template exchange and gene recombination occur.

Enzyme solution preparation method: a supernatant medium is removed by centrifugation in a 96-well plate, 200 μL of enzymatic hydrolysis solution (lysozyme 2 mg/mL, polymyxin 0.5 mg/mL, pH=7.0) is added to each well, a temperature is kept at 37° C. for 3 h.
