Abstract:

Boldenone, as an important anabolic androgenic steroid, has the function of improving muscle mass and endurance. The traditional synthesis method of boldenone is to synthesize from 1,4-androstenedione (ADD) by chemical method, but the process is complex and the pollution is serious. 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (17β-HSD) can catalyze the redox reaction of C-17 site of steroids, and realize the conversion of ADD and boldenone. In this study, six different 17β-HSD genes were screened and heterologously expressed in E. coli. Using different recombinant strains to transform ADD to boldenone, the results showed that E. coli BL21/pET28a-HSDPy had the highest conversion rate of ADD, so BL21/pET28a-HSDPy was selected for further study. The enzymatic properties of the recombinant strain were identified and the whole cell transformation conditions were optimized. The results showed that under the condition of 36 g·L-1 biomass and 5.40 g·L-1 substrate concentration, 3.66 g·L-1 boldenone was obtained after two batches of feeding, which was 4.1 times higher than before optimization. Moreover, no by-products were detected during biotransformation. This study provides the possibility for the biosynthesis of boldenone.

摘要:

宝丹酮作为一种重要的蛋白同化雄性激素类固醇,具有提升肌肉质量和耐力的功能。宝丹酮的传统合成方法是以1,4-雄烯二酮(ADD)为底物通过化学法合成,但过程复杂、污染严重。17β-羟基类固醇脱氢酶(17β-HSD)可催化甾体化合物C-17位点的氧化还原反应,实现ADD和宝丹酮的相互转化。本研究通过基因序列同源性分析,筛选到6种不同来源的17β-HSD基因并对其在大肠杆菌中进行异源表达。利用不同重组菌转化ADD合成宝丹酮,结果表明重组菌BL21/pET28a-HSDPy的ADD转化率最高,因此选择BL21/pET28a-HSDPy进行进一步研究。鉴定了重组菌的酶学性质并优化其全细胞转化条件。结果表明在生物量为36 g·L-1、底物浓度为5.40 g·L-1条件下,经过两次补料,获得了3.66 g·L-1宝丹酮,比优化前提高了4.1倍。而且在生物转化过程中未检测到副产物。为生物合成宝丹酮提供了可能。
