Transaminases catalyze the transfer of an amino group from a donor to a keto group of an acceptor substrate and are applicable to the asymmetric synthesis of herbicide L-phosphinothricin (L-PPT). Here, the important residue sites (C390, I22, V52, R141, Y138 and D239) of transaminase from Salmonella enterica (SeTA) were modified at the adjacency of the substrate-binding pocket to improve the enzyme activity. Among the constructed mutant library, the SeTA-Y138F mutant displayed higher activity than the wild-type enzyme. Compared to the wild-type, SeTA-Y138F showed improved catalytic efficiency with a 4.36-fold increase. The K and k of SeTA -Y138F toward 4-(hydroxy(methyl) phosphoryl)-2-oxobutanoic acid (PPO) were 26.39 mM and 34.28 s, respectively. Subsequently, the three-enzyme co-expression system of E. coli BL21 (DE3)/pACYCDuet-SeTA-Y138F/pETDuet-AlaDH-BsGDH was developed by combining a alanine dehydrogenase (AlaDH) to recycle the byproduct of amino donor, a glucose dehydrogenase (BsGDH) for cofactor recycling. Under the optimized conditions, an excellent L-PPT yield of 90.8% was achieved by the whole-cell biotransformation with 500 mM PPO. It exhibited the tri-enzymatic coupling system was potential for effective production of target L-PPT.
转氨酶催化供体的氨基基团向受体底物的酮基团的转移,适用于除草剂 L-草丁膦(L-PPT)的不对称合成。在这里,对沙门氏菌(Salmonella enterica)转氨酶(SeTA)的重要残基位点(C390、I22、V52、R141、Y138 和 D239)在紧邻底物结合口袋的位置进行修饰,以提高酶活性。在构建的突变文库中,SeTA-Y138F 突变体的活性高于野生型酶。与野生型相比,SeTA-Y138F 表现出更高的催化效率,比活提高了 4.36 倍。SeTA-Y138F 对 4-(羟甲基)膦酰基-2-氧代丁酸(PPO)的 K 和 k 值分别为 26.39 mM 和 34.28 s。随后,通过组合丙氨酸脱氢酶(AlaDH)来回收氨基供体的副产物,葡萄糖脱氢酶(BsGDH)来回收辅因子,构建了大肠杆菌 BL21(DE3)/pACYCDuet-SeTA-Y138F/pETDuet-AlaDH-BsGDH 的三酶共表达系统。在优化条件下,通过 500 mM PPO 的全细胞生物转化,获得了 90.8%的优异 L-PPT 产率。该结果表明,该三酶偶联系统有望有效生产目标 L-PPT。
