Abstract

α1,3-Fucosyltransferase (α1,3-FucT) is essential for the biosynthesis of biologically active α1,3-fucosyloligosacchairdes (3-FOs) from human milk oligosaccharides (HMO), particularly 3-fucosyllactose (3-FL) trisaccharide. α1,3-FucT from Helicobacter pylori 26695 (FutA) accepts lactose and LacNAc as glycan acceptors and has a very low level of expression in Escherichia coli, and it shows a low catalytic activity for lactose in the large-scale synthesis of 3-FL. To overcome the poor solubility of FutA, codon optimization, and systematic truncation of the protein at the C-terminus with only one heptad repeat remaining (Δ52 FutA) were conducted to yield 150-200 mg/L of soluble protein of FutA and resulting in more than an 18-fold increase in the 3-FL yield. To improve the low level of enzyme catalytic activity for lactose, focused directed evolution was attempted using a semi-rational approach that combines structure-guided computational analysis and subsequent iterative saturation mutagenesis (ISM). In order to select the functional residues in active site/substrate binding site, docking simulation was used together with HotSpot Wizard to target evolutionarily variable amino acid positions. A128 site was selected from the key resi...Continue Reading
