Coevolution of both Thermostability and Activity of Polyphosphate Glucokinase from Thermobifida fusca YX.


ABSTRACT: Thermostability and specific activity of enzymes are two of the most important properties for industrial biocatalysts. Here, we developed a petri dish-based double-layer high-throughput screening (HTS) strategy for rapid identification of desired mutants of polyphosphate glucokinase (PPGK) from a thermophilic actinobacterium, Thermobifida fusca YX, with both enhanced thermostability and activity. Escherichia coli colonies representing a PPGK mutant library were grown on the first-layer Phytagel-based plates, which can remain solid for 1 h, even at heat treatment temperatures of more than 100°C. The second layer that was poured on the first layer contained agarose, substrates, glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH), the redox dye tetranitroblue tetrazolium (TNBT), and phenazine methosulfate. G6PDH was able to oxidize the product from the PPGK-catalyzed reaction and generate NADH, which can be easily examined by a TNBT-based colorimetric assay. The best mutant obtained after four rounds of directed evolution had a 7,200-fold longer half-life at 55°C, 19.8°C higher midpoint of unfolding temperature (Tm ), and a nearly 3-fold enhancement in specific activities compared to those of the wild-type PPGK. The best mutant was used to produce 9.98 g/liter myo-inositol from 10 g/liter glucose, with a theoretical yield of 99.8%, along with two other hyperthermophilic enzymes at 70°C. This PPGK mutant featuring both great thermostability and high activity would be useful for ATP-free production of glucose 6-phosphate or its derived products.IMPORTANCE Polyphosphate glucokinase (PPGK) is an enzyme that transfers a terminal phosphate group from polyphosphate to glucose, producing glucose 6-phosphate. A petri dish-based double-layer high-throughput screening strategy was developed by using ultrathermostable Phytagel as the first layer instead of agar or agarose, followed by a redox dye-based assay for rapid identification of ultrathermostable PPGK mutants. The best mutant featuring both great thermostability and high activity could produce glucose 6-phosphate from glucose and polyphosphate without in vitro ATP regeneration.
