Abstract

Background

D-Allulose is one of the most well-known rare sugars widely used in food, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical industries. The most popular method for D-allulose production is the conversion from D-fructose catalyzed by D-allulose 3-epimerase (DAEase). To address the general problem of low catalytic efficiency and poor thermostability of wild-type DAEase, D-allulose biosensor was adopted in this study to develop a convenient and efficient method for high-throughput screening of DAEase variants.

Results

The catalytic activity and thermostability of DAEase from Caballeronia insecticola were simultaneously improved by semi-rational molecular modification. Compared with the wild-type enzyme, DAEase^S37N/F157Y variant exhibited 14.7% improvement in the catalytic activity and the half-time value (t_1/2) at 65°C increased from 1.60 to 27.56 h by 17.23-fold. To our delight, the conversion rate of D-allulose was 33.6% from 500-g L⁻¹ D-fructose in 1 h by Bacillus subtilis WB800 whole cells expressing this DAEase variant. Furthermore, the practicability of cell immobilization was evaluated and more than 80% relative activity of the immobilized cells was maintained from the second to seventh cycle.

Conclusion

All these results indicated that the DAEase^S37N/F157Y variant would be a potential candidate for the industrial production of D-allulose.

基于 D-阿洛糖生物传感器的 D-阿洛糖 3-酰亚胺酶半理性工程，可同时提高催化活性和热稳定性。

背景：D- 阿洛糖是最著名的稀有糖类之一，广泛应用于食品、化妆品和制药行业。生产 D-阿洛糖最常用的方法是在 D-阿洛糖 3-酰亚胺酶（DAEase）的催化下从 D-果糖转化而来。针对野生型DAEase普遍存在的催化效率低、热稳定性差的问题，本研究采用D-阿洛糖生物传感器，建立了一种方便、高效的DAEase变体高通量筛选方法：结果：通过半合理的分子改造，Caballeronia insecticola DAEase的催化活性和耐热性同时得到了提高。与野生型相比，DAEaseS37N/F157Y变体的催化活性提高了14.7%，65°C时的半衰期（t1/2）从1.60小时提高到27.56小时，提高了17.23倍。令我们欣喜的是，表达该 DAEase 变体的枯草芽孢杆菌 WB800 全细胞在 1 小时内从 500 g L-1 D-果糖中转化出 33.6% 的 D-阿洛糖。此外，还对细胞固定化的实用性进行了评估，固定化细胞的相对活性从第二周期到第七周期都保持在 80% 以上：所有这些结果表明，DAEaseS37N/F157Y 变体将成为工业化生产 D-纤维素的潜在候选者。
