    摘要:

    岩藻糖基乳糖(2′-FL)是商业价值较高的母乳低聚糖,其生物合成依赖高效的 α-1,2-岩藻糖基转移酶(FucT)。然而,现有FucT普遍存在异源表达水平低、可溶性差及催化活性不足等问题,成为制约2′-FL规模化合成的关键瓶颈。以Helicobacter pylori来源的H.p-FucT为探针,从螺杆菌属微生物基因组中挖掘FucT。通过同源序列比对与系统发育分析,筛选获得3段候选FucT基因。对模板与候选基因共4个FucT进行重组表达,综合比较可溶表达水平与催化活力,优选来源于Helicobacter mustelae的H.m-FucT酶,进行分子伴侣共表达以提高酶的可溶表达水平。构建了5种分子伴侣共表达体系,其中分子伴侣pKJE7的促溶效果最为显著,H.m-FucT的可溶表达水平较未共表达时提高约6倍;进一步共表达双功能酶FKP与多聚磷酸激酶PPK2,建立岩藻糖活化-转糖基催化-辅因子循环的体外多酶级联催化体系,并通过单因素优化结合分批补料策略制备得到2′-FL,其产量达到3.40g/L。研究旨在拓展FucT来源,并提升其可溶表达水平,希望为2′-FL等岩藻糖基化母乳低聚糖的高效合成提供酶资源与技术支撑。

    Abstract:

    Fucosyllactose (2′-FL), one of the most commercially valuable human milk oligosaccharides, relies on an efficient α-1,2-fucosyltransferase (FucT) for its biosynthesis. However, existing FucT commonly suffer from low heterologous expression levels, poor solubility, and insufficient catalytic activity, which constitute critical bottlenecks restricting the large-scale synthesis of 2′-FL. In this study, an FucT from Helicobacter pylori (H.p-FucT) was used as a probe to mine novel FucT genes from the genomes of Helicobacter species. Through homologous sequence alignment and phylogenetic analysis, three candidate FucT-encoding genes were identified. These three candidate genes, along with the template gene, were recombinantly expressed, and their soluble expression levels and catalytic activities were comprehensively compared. Among them, the FucT from Helicobacter mustelae (H.m-FucT) was selected for further enhancement of soluble expression via molecular chaperone co-expression. Five molecular chaperone co-expression systems were constructed, among which pKJE7 exhibited the most pronounced solubilizing effect, increasing the soluble expression level of H.m-FucT by approximately 6-fold compared with the control group without co-expression. Subsequently, a bifunctional enzyme FKP and polyphosphate kinase PPK2 were co-expressed to establish an in vitro multi-enzyme cascade catalytic system encompassing fucose activation, transglycosylation, and cofactor recycling. Through single-factor optimization combined with a fed-batch strategy, 2′-FL was produced, reaching a titer of 3.40g/L. This study aimed to expand the sources of FucT and enhance its soluble expression level, with the goal of providing enzyme resources and technical support for the efficient synthesis of 2′-FL and other fucosylated human milk oligosaccharides.
