    两性离子化修饰策略对尿酸酶稳定性的提升

    Zwitterionic modification strategy enhances the stability of uricase

    • 摘要: 针对哺乳动物来源的尿酸酶存在的酶活性低、溶解度差及稳定性不佳等问题,研究选用具有超亲水性的两性离子肽链聚谷氨酸-赖氨酸(pEK)对其进行修饰。通过微生物表达系统,将不同长度的pEK肽链与尿酸酶的C端进行融合表达。结果表明,由60对EK重复序列组成的pEK60修饰可使尿酸酶的溶解度提高60倍以上,酶活性提升4.4倍,催化效率(Kcat/Km)增加2.1倍。同时,修饰后的尿酸酶在溶液中的长期稳定性及其冻干后的酶活保留率均得到显著改善。上述研究结果为哺乳动物来源尿酸酶的后续药物化修饰研究奠定了基础。

       

      Abstract: To address the issues of low enzymatic activity, poor solubility, and inadequate stability of mammalian-derived uricase, this study utilized the superhydrophilic zwitterionic peptide chain polyglutamic acid-lysine (pEK) for modification. By employing a microbial expression system, pEK peptide chains of varying lengths were fused to the C-terminus of uricase for co-expression. The results demonstrated that modification with pEK60, composed of 60 EK repeat sequences, increased the solubility of uricase more than 60-fold, enhanced enzymatic activity 4.4-fold, and improved catalytic efficiency (Kcat/Km) 2.1-fold. Additionally, the long-term stability of the modified uricase in solution and the retention of enzymatic activity after lyophilization were significantly improved. These findings lay a foundation for subsequent pharmaceutical modification research on mammalian-derived uricase.
