SOD Plus

A three-point mutation of SOD-1.The 64th base is mutated from phenylalanine to alanine,The 118th base is mutated from valine to alanine and the 61st base is mutated from glycine to alanine,marked by number 15+24+13.

Background

We obtain the SOD-1 sequence from BBa_K2215003.Mutagenesis of specific bases in proteins has proven to be invaluable in probing the contribution of individual amino acid side chains to protein properties. The ability of alanine scanning mutagenesis to provide key biological insights has been demonstrated by early examples, and combinatorial alanine scanning combines the convenience of combinatorial libraries with the insights of site-directed scanning mutagenesis. In recent years, methods based on sequence coevolution analysis have shown great potential in enzyme engineering, which can reveal the interactions between amino acid residues and provide a theoretical basis for the modification of enzyme function and structure.

Methods and Results

So we learned virtual amino acid mutation, used FoldX to perform virtual amino acid mutation based on interaction force on a protein-ligand complex, sorted in descending order according to the relevant change in Gibbs free energy of protein folding (ΔG), identified 28 key amino acids in the active site and amino acid mutation targets that can improve affinity, and tried to improve SOD enzyme activity.

We used the scanner to output the final SCI scores of mutations, sorted them in descending order according to the SCI score, and identified the five key amino acids far away from the active site and the amino acid mutation targets that can improve stability, trying to improve the SOD enzyme activity. The SCI index (Sequence Co-evolution Index) is an indicator used in the enzyme activity engineering method based on sequence co-evolution analysis. It is used to evaluate the potential impact of the co-evolution relationship of the enzyme mutation site on the enzyme activity. The calculation of the SCI index takes into account the number and strength of the co-evolutionary relationships between the mutation site and other sites, as well as the distribution of these relationships in the enzyme sequence. The SCI index increases as the frequency of the mutant amino acid pair in the multiple sequence alignment (MSA) increases relative to the wild-type (WT) amino acid pair. Simply put, if a mutation site has a strong co-evolutionary relationship with many other sites in the enzyme sequence, and this relationship is prevalent in the sequence, then the SCI index of this site will be high, indicating that the mutation at this site may have a greater effect on the enzyme activity.

（3）three-point mutations of SOD-1 The SOD inhibition rate of the three-point mutations of SOD-1 is shown in the table below. At the seven mutation sites 2, 13, 15, 24, 26, 30, and 33, we generated 35 mutation combinations using permutation and combination methods. Considering cost and time constraints, we selected four optimal pairs of mutations—13+30, 2+33, 15+24, and 26+33—based on the results from the double mutations as templates, resulting in the following 20 combinations:

Functional Expression

An inducible SOD-1 expression plasmid was constructed by three-point mutation of SOD-1.The 64th base is mutated from phenylalanine to alanine,The 118th base is mutated from valine to alanine and the 61st base is mutated from glycine to alanine,marked by number 15+24+13.We took 2 mL of the overnight induced bacterial culture and used the Beyotime™ bacterial active protein extraction reagent to extract the protein. SOD activity was measured using the Beyotime™ SOD activity detection kit.
