A novel D-allulose 3-epimerase from Staphylococcus aureus (SaDAE) has been screened as a D-allulose 3-epimerase family enzyme based on its high specificity for D-allulose. It usually converts both D-fructose and D-tagatose to respectively D-allulose and D-sorbose. We targeted potential biocatalysts for the large-scale industrial production of rare sugars.
SaDAE showed a high activity on D-allulose with an affinity of 41.5 mM and catalytic efficiency of 1.1 s mM. Four residues, Glu146, Asp179, Gln205, and Glu240, constitute the catalytic tetrad of SaDAE. Glu146 and Glu240 formed unique interactions with substrates based on the structural model analysis. The redesigned SaDAE_V105A showed an improvement of relative activity toward D-fructose of 68%. The conversion rate of SaDAE_V105A reached 38.9% after 6 h. The triple mutant S191D/M193E/S213C showed higher thermostability than the wild-type enzyme, exhibiting a 50% loss of activity after incubation for 60 min at 74.2 °C compared with 67 °C for the wild type.
We redesigned SaDAE for thermostability and biocatalytic production of D-allulose. The research will aid the development of industrial biocatalysts for D-allulose.
基于对 D-阿洛酮糖的高特异性,从金黄色葡萄球菌中筛选出一种新型 D-阿洛酮糖 3-差向异构酶(SaDAE),将其归类为 D-阿洛酮糖 3-差向异构酶家族酶。它通常将 D-果糖和 D-塔格糖分别转化为 D-阿洛酮糖和 D-山梨糖。我们以潜在的生物催化剂为目标,用于大规模工业生产稀有糖。
SaDAE 对 D-阿洛酮糖表现出高活性,亲和力为 41.5mM,催化效率为 1.1s mM。四个残基Glu146、Asp179、Gln205 和 Glu240 构成了 SaDAE 的催化四联体。根据结构模型分析,Glu146 和 Glu240 与底物形成了独特的相互作用。重新设计的 SaDAE_V105A 对 D-果糖的相对活性提高了 68%。SaDAE_V105A 的转化率在 6 小时后达到 38.9%。三重突变体 S191D/M193E/S213C 比野生型酶具有更高的热稳定性,在 74.2°C 孵育 60 分钟后,其活性丧失 50%,而野生型酶的活性丧失 67°C。
我们重新设计了 SaDAE 以提高耐热性和生物催化生产 D-阿洛酮糖的能力。该研究将有助于开发用于 D-阿洛酮糖的工业生物催化剂。
