摘要
Dihydroxy-acid dehydratase (DHAD) plays an important role in the utilization of glycerol or glucose for the production of value-added chemicals in the in vitro synthetic enzymatic biosystem. The low activity of DHAD in the dehydration of glycerate to pyruvate hampers its applications in biosystems. Protein engineering of a thermophilic DHAD from Sulfolobus solfataricus (SsDHAD) was performed to increase its dehydration activity. A triple mutant (I161M/Y145S/G205K) with a 10-fold higher activity on glycerate dehydration was obtained after three rounds of iterative saturation mutagenesis (ISM) based on computational analysis. The shrunken substrate-binding pocket and newly formed hydrogen bonds were the reason for the activity improvement of the mutant. For the in vitro synthetic enzymatic biosystems of converting glucose or glycerol to L-lactate, the biosystems with the mutant SsDHAD showed 3.32- and 2.34-fold higher reaction rates than the wild type, respectively. This study demonstrates the potential of protein engineering to improve the efficiency of in vitro synthetic enzymatic biosystems by enhancing the enzyme activity of rate-limited enzymes. KEY POINTS: • A screening method was established for the protein engineering of SsDHAD. • A R3 mutant of SsDHAD with 10-fold higher activity was obtained. • The R3 mutant exhibits higher productivity in the in vitro biosystems.
