Problems solved by technology

However, the poor catalytic effect in vivo has become the main factor inhibiting its wide application, and one of the reasons for this result is the lack of regioselectivity of NfsB for the reduction of the CB1954 nitro group.

Embodiment 1

[0024] Example 1 Gene acquisition and expression vector construction of mutant nitroreductase F124W, N71S / F124W, F123A / F124W and N71S / F123A / F124W

[0025] 1. Cloning of wild-type nfsB gene and construction of cloning vector

[0026] According to the nfsB gene sequence in the E.coli K12 strain (Invitrogen) provided by NCBI, primers (nfsB-WT-F: 5'-GGAATTC CATATG GATATCATTTCTGTCGCCTTAAAG-3',nfsB-WT-R:5'-G GAATTCTTACACTTCGGTTAAGGTGATGTT-3'), where the underlined part represents the gene sequence corresponding to the restriction site. Using the extracted E.coli K12 genomic DNA as a template, PCR amplification was performed. Take 10 μl of the PCR reaction product and run agarose gel electrophoresis to verify that the electrophoresis band is about 650bp in size consistent with the nfsB gene. Use TaKaRa Agarose Gel DNAPurification Kit Ver.3.0 to cut the gel to recover the above electrophoresis target bands, then treat the recovered product with EcoR I / Nde I double enzyme digestio...

[0043] Example 2. Expression and purification of bacterial nitroreductase mutants

[0044] 1. Induced expression of nitroreductase mutants

[0045] The recombinant plasmids pET28a-nfsB-F124W, pET28a-nfsB-N71S / F124W, pET28a-nfsB-F123A / F124W and pET28a-nfsB-N71S / F123A / F124W were transformed into E. coli E. coli BL21 (DE3) competent Cells (Invitrogen), plated and incubated overnight at 37°C. Pick positive clones and name them as expression strains E.coli BL21(DE3)-nfsB-F124W, E.coli BL21(DE3)-nfsB-N71S / F124W, E.coli BL21(DE3)-nfsB-F123A / F124W and E.coli BL21(DE3)-nfsB-N71S / F123A / F124W were inoculated in LB liquid medium (containing 50 μg / ml Kana) and shaken overnight at 37°C. Transfer the seed culture solution to 100ml LB expansion medium (containing 50μg / ml Kana) with 1% inoculation amount, and culture it on a shaker at 37°C until OD 600 at 0.4-0.6. Add final concentration of 0.5mMIPTG to induce expression at 30°C for 6h. After the cultivation, the fermentation broth was ce...

Embodiment 3

[0059] Example 3. Activity determination of bacterial nitroreductase mutants

[0060] The recombinant protein eluted with 250mM imidazole was mixed according to the ratio of molar concentration ratio protein:FMN=1:10, and placed in a 4°C refrigerator for incubation for 2 hours. After incubation, the recombinant protein was desalted into 20 mM Tris-HCl buffer (pH 7.0) for subsequent experiments such as protein activity detection.

[0061] 1. HPLC analysis of the mutant's regioselectivity for CB1954 reduction

[0062] The regioselectivity of mutants NfsB-F124W, NfsB-N71S / F124W, NfsB-F123A / F124W and NfsB-N71S / F123A / F124W for the reduction of substrate CB1954 was analyzed by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) Agilent 1200. The HPLC enzyme-catalyzed reaction system contains: 0.1mM CB1954, 0.2mM NADH, 200nM mutant enzyme, the reaction buffer is 20mM Tris-HCl pH7.0, and react at room temperature for 5-15 minutes. Since CB1954 and its reaction product were unstable when h...

Abstract

The invention discloses a mutant bacterial nitroreductase gene and its application, belonging to the field of enzyme engineering. Based on the three-dimensional protein structure and molecular docking, it was found that the 124th phenylalanine in the Escherichia coli nitroreductase NfsB interacted with the side chain group of the polynitro-based substrate, thereby affecting the positioning of the substrate in the active pocket. The mutants F124W, N71S / F124W, F123A / F124W and N71S / F123A / F124W can catalyze the specificity of the cancer therapy prodrug CB1954 to generate 4‑NHOH products with high biological toxicity. At the same time, the catalytic activity of these mutants increased by 7-24 times compared with the wild-type enzyme, and the performance of N71S / F123A / F124W was the most significant. The nitroreductase mutant with specific reduction selectivity provided by the invention has a good application prospect in the treatment of cancer and other diseases.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of enzyme engineering, and specifically relates to a mutant nitroreductase gene, a recombinase containing the gene, and its application in nitro site-selective reduction. Background technique [0002] Nitroreductase is a class of cytoplasmic enzymes dependent on FMN or FAD, which can use NAD(P)H to catalyze the reduction of nitro groups, and finally generate hydroxylamine or amino products through nitroso intermediates. The nitro group is a common functional group in biomedicine, antibacterial agents and insecticides. Its reduction is a key step in the realization of drug biotherapy and in vivo degradation and metabolism. In this process, nitroreductase plays a key role. effect. Among them, the activation therapy system composed of Escherichia coli nitroreductase NfsB and cancer prodrug 5-(1-aziridine)-2,4-dinitrobenzamide (CB1954) has entered the phase III clinical trial stage. NfsB can convert CB1954 into a strong...
