Thermostability can be improved by introducing prolines into targeted sites, enhancing enzyme performance in specific reactions. In our present study, a novel fungal phospholipase C derived from Talaromyces islandicus (TiPLC) was first heterologously expressed in Pichia pastoris and biochemically characterized. Given the poor thermal stability of TiPLC, a structure-based proline incorporation strategy was used to enhance its thermostability further. Two single-site (E92P and A375P) mutants were selected from seven designs, exhibiting improved stability while retaining wild-type's basic properties (optimum reaction pH and temperature). Compared to the wild-type, the t of E92P and A375P under 40 °C extended by 1.62 and 1.27 times, respectively. Meanwhile, the E92P and A375P mutants exhibited a 20% increase in activity using p-NPPC as substrate. Moreover, double mutant E92P-A375P exhibited 2.43 times enhancement compared to the wild-type. Results of the oil degumming experiment further confirmed that the double mutant significantly improved the performance of TiPLC, with a reduction in residual phosphorus to 78 ppm, while for the wild-type, the residual phosphorus was 131 ppm under the same reaction. Molecular simulations indicated that proline incorporation into 92 and 375 sites significantly improved the rigidity of partial flexible regions, thus contributing to the increased thermostability.
通过在目标位点引入脯氨酸可以提高热稳定性,从而增强酶在特定反应中的性能。在我们目前的研究中,一种源自冰岛嗜热栖霉的新型真菌磷脂酶C(TiPLC)首先在毕赤酵母中异源表达并进行了生化表征。鉴于TiPLC热稳定性较差,采用基于结构的脯氨酸掺入策略进一步提高其热稳定性。从七种设计中选择了两个单点突变体(E92P和A375P),它们在保留野生型基本特性(最佳反应pH值和温度)的同时,稳定性得到了提高。与野生型相比,E92P和A375P在40℃下的半衰期分别延长了1.62倍和1.27倍。同时,以对硝基苯磷酸胆碱(p-NPPC)为底物时,E92P和A375P突变体的活性提高了20%。此外,双突变体E92P-A375P与野生型相比活性增强了2.43倍。脱胶实验结果进一步证实,双突变体显著提高了TiPLC的性能,使残留磷降至78 ppm,而在相同反应条件下,野生型的残留磷为131 ppm。分子模拟表明,在92和375位点掺入脯氨酸显著提高了部分柔性区域的刚性,从而有助于提高热稳定性。
