Synthetic shuffling technology was used to enhance the thermostability of (R)-selective transaminase. The best mutant M14 showed improved catalytic efficiency and higher enzyme activity towards acetophenone and 1-acetylnaphthalene.
As versatile and green biocatalysts for the asymmetric amination of ketones, the insufficient thermostability of transaminases always limits its broad application in the pharmaceutical and fine chemical industries. Here, synthetic shuffling technology was used to enhance stability of (R)-selective transaminase from Aspergillus terreus. The results showed that 30 out of 5000 mutants had improved thermostability by color-based screening method, among which mutants with residual enzyme activity higher than 50% at 45 degrees C for 10 min were selected for further analysis. Especially, the half-inactivation temperature (T5010), half-life (t1/2), and melting temperature (Tm) of the best mutant M14 (M280C-H210N-M150C-F115L) were 13.7 degrees C, 165.8 min, and 13.9 degrees C higher than that of the wild type (WT), respectively. M14 also exhibited a significant biocatalytic efficiency toward acetophenone and 1-acetylnaphthalene, the yield of which were 265.6% and 117.5% higher than WT, respectively. Based on molecular dynamics simulation, improved catalytic efficiency of M14 could be attributed to its increased hydrogen bonds interaction around the mutation sites. Additionally, the introduction of disulfide bond combined with above mutations has a synergistic effect on the improved protein thermostability.
