Abstract: Homoserine dehydrogenase (HSD) is a key enzyme in the synthesis of aspartic acid in Corynebacterium glutamicum, which plays an important role in the synthesis of methionine, threonine, and isoleucine. Through site-directed mutagenesis, the catalytic activity of homoserine dehydrogenase is improved, and the feedback inhibition and repression of metabolites in the pathway are reduced.According to the docking result of HSD with the substrate homoserine molecule andanalysis of their spatial structuretwo key sites, Gly25 and Asp61, were selected for site-directed saturation mutation. Through enzyme activity screening, it was found that the mutants A61L and G25G were stronger than the wild type (WT). The enzyme activity was significantly increased, so the kinetics and enzymatic properties of these two mutants were studied.、The kinetic results showed that compared with WT, the Km value of G25G and A61L decreased, the substrate affinity increased, and the enzyme activity increased by 1.21 times and 1.35 times, respectively; the n value decreased, and the positive synergy increased.The optimum temperature of A61L and G25G was 40°C, the same as WT; the optimum pH of A61L was 8.0, the optimum pH of G25G was 8.5, which was higher than that of WT; the enzymatic half-lives of A61L and G25G were 1h and 0.5h longer than WT, respectively; Different concentrations of K+, Mg2+, Ca2+ can activate the mutant and the wild type;different concentrations of methanol, ethanol, acetonitrile and dimethyl sulfoxide had significant inhibitory effects on the mutant and wild type; under the concentration of 1mmol/L~25mmol/L inhibitor , the inhibitory effect of the mutant was significantly weaker than that of the wild type. In this study, the mutants G25G and A61L with improved enzyme activity and weakened allosteric inhibition were obtained, which provided a reference for optimizing the biosynthetic pathway of high serine dehydrogenase and constructing high-yield methionine, threonine and isoleucine strains.
