Problems solved by technology

[0003] At present, the preparation methods of SeMCys are mainly chemical synthesis methods, but these chemical synthesis methods have their own shortcomings, such as: complicated steps, or lengthy process, or harsh reaction conditions, or high raw material prices, or involving highly toxic raw materials, etc., causing these Synthetic methods are mostly difficult to put into large-scale practical production, therefore, methylselenocysteine ​​is still very expensive on the market
[0004] However, in the prior art, no bio-fermentation method is used to prepare methylselenocysteine, because the fermentation method has the following advantages: the fermentation cell is easier to prepare, and the cost is low; it is more stable than the isolated enzyme, and is not easily affected by ambient temperature and pH. Influenced by other factors, it is easy to use; no toxic products are produced during the conversion process, and no other by-products are produced, so it is expected to realize the production of industrialized SeMCys with low energy consumption, high efficiency, high purity, and pollution-free
[0005] Although natural microorganisms can enrich organic selenium in bacteria, SeMCys cannot be synthesized due to the lack of related enzymes. At present, only reports have been reported on the expression of selenocysteine ​​methyltransferase from S. Accumulates SeMCys intracellularly, but cannot secrete the product into the medium, thereby limiting its production, and its intracellular production is only 1.14 μg / g dry weight

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for synthesizing methyl selenocysteine by using bacillus subtilis, and belongs to the technical field of biological engineering. According to the invention, recombinant bacillus subtilis which takes bacillus subtilis as a host and expresses a gene for encoding SMT protein and a gene for encoding cysteine transporter protein is constructed, so that extracellular secretion of methyl selenocysteine in the recombinant bacillus subtilis is realized for the first time. By adopting the method for preparing the methyl selenocysteine, the production cost can be greatly reduced, and the method is not easily influenced by factors such as environment temperature and pH and is convenient to use; toxic and harmful products are not generated in the conversion process, and other by-products are not generated; and industrial SeMCys production with low energy consumption, high efficiency, high purity and no pollution is expected to be realized.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for synthesizing methylselenocysteine ​​by using Bacillus subtilis, belonging to the technical field of bioengineering. Background technique [0002] Selenium is an essential trace element for the human body, and it performs physiological functions by forming selenoproteins with selenocysteine ​​as the active center. The bioavailability of selenium varies with the source of selenium and nutritional status, methylselenium is the main active form of low molecular weight selenium metabolites, and methylselenocysteine ​​(SeMCys) acts as a direct supplier of methylated selenium. Body, proved to be one of the most effective anti-cancer selenium compounds, is a more effective selenium source supplement than selenoprotein. [0003] At present, the preparation methods of SeMCys are mainly chemical synthesis methods, but these chemical synthesis methods have their own shortcomings, such as: complicated steps, or lengthy process...
