Glucose isomerase (GI) is a key enzyme in the preparation of high fructose corn syrup (HFCS). In this study, a mutant TEGI-M-L38 M/V137 L (TEGI-M2) of glucose isomerase (TEGI-M) originated from Thermoanaerobacter ethanalicus CCSD1 was obtained by site-directed mutagenesis. The TEGI-M2 showed an optimal activity at 85 ℃ and pH 6.5 with the divalent cations Co and Mg. The structural differences between TEGI-M and TEGI-M2 were investigated based on the homology modeling and molecular docking, to elucidate the mechanism of improvement in the enzymatic properties. Compared with the original enzyme, the TEGI-M2 showed a 2.0-fold increased enzyme activity and a decreased K from 234.2 mM to 85.9 mM. Finally, the application of mutant TEGI-M2 in HFCS one-step biosynthesis was attempted, resulting in a d-fructose yield of 67.3 %, which was 14.3 % higher than that of TEGI-M. This improved catalytic performance of TEGI-M2 was of great importance for the industrial preparation of d-fructose in one-step process.
葡萄糖异构酶(GI)是制备高果糖玉米糖浆(HFCS)的关键酶。本研究通过定点突变获得了来源于热厌氧菌乙醇丁醛CCS D1 的突变体 TEGI-M-L38 M/V137 L(TEGI-M2)。TEGI-M2 在 85℃和 pH6.5 时具有最佳活性,二价阳离子 Co 和 Mg 存在时具有最佳活性。基于同源建模和分子对接研究了 TEGI-M 和 TEGI-M2 之间的结构差异,以阐明酶性质提高的机制。与原始酶相比,TEGI-M2 的酶活性提高了 2.0 倍,K 值从 234.2mM 降低到 85.9mM。最后,尝试将突变体 TEGI-M2 应用于 HFCS 一步法生物合成中,得到了 67.3%的 d-果糖产率,比 TEGI-M 提高了 14.3%。TEGI-M2 的这种改进的催化性能对于一步法制备 d-果糖的工业生产具有重要意义。
