Abstract:

Biomimetic compartmentalization immobilization of multi-enzyme system is a frontier for in vitro synthetic biology, focusing on the spatial and temporal separation of reactions. Compared with simple co-immobilization, biomimetic compartmentalization immobilization can form substrate channels and promote the transmission of intermediates for sequential or coupling reaction. By controlling the relative positions of the enzymes on carriers, this method improves system stability, productivity, and purity. In this paper, we summarized the recent advances of carriers for biomimetic compartmentalization immobilization of multi-enzyme systems, including metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), polymer vesicles and polymer capsules. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are porous coordination materials which are composed of metal ions as nodes and organic linkers. MOFs possess unique characteristics including high porosity, large specific surface area and tunable structure, which are suitable for multi-enzyme systems. The strategies involving the hierarchically porous MOFs, MOF-on-MOF and multi-MOF combinations construct compartmentalized environments for efficient catalytic reactions in vitro. Polymer vesicles are hollow nanostructures composed of amphiphilic block copolymers. The membrane structure of polymer vesicles, similar to the natural phospholipid bilayers, has good mechanical stability and biocompatibility for protecting enzyme molecules, and provides unique microenvironment for sequential reactions. Multiple small vesicles were encapsulated into the larger vesicles to form a "vesicle-in-vesicle" by mimicking the structure of cellular organelles. Polymer capsules with a core-shell spherical nanostructure are formed by the templating method, and have structural stability and excellent shape controllability. Multilayered core-shell structures created by layer-by-layer self-assembly are applied for compartmentalized immobilization of multi-enzyme. In the future, the integration of microfluidic technologies with biomimetic compartmentalization immobilization of multi-enzyme is expected to provide highly efficient and stable multi-enzyme catalytic systems for in vitro synthetic biology and green biomanufacturing.

摘要:

仿生分区室固定化多酶耦联是体外合成生物学的前沿技术,目的是实现多酶分区室固定化和反应的时空分离。与简单共固定化不同,仿生分区室固定化技术通过控制酶在载体上的空间分布,形成底物通道促进中间产物传递,并提高串联或耦联反应的系统稳定性、产率和产物纯度。本文综述了近年来仿生分区室固定化多酶体系的进展,包括金属有机框架(MOFs)、聚合物囊泡和聚合物胶囊等固定化策略。MOFs具有结构可控、功能易调控等优点,采用分级多孔、MOF-on-MOF和多种MOF组合等仿生策略构建分区室微反应器,实现高效的体外多酶耦联催化反应。聚合物囊泡的膜结构可模拟天然磷脂双分子层,将多个小囊泡包封到大囊泡形成“囊泡中囊泡”模仿细胞器分区室固定化酶。聚合物胶囊是通过模板法形成核壳纳米球体结构,结构稳定性优异,进一步通过层层自组装能够形成多层核壳结构实现分区室固定化。将来,微流控等技术与仿生分区室固定化多酶技术融合,将促进体外合成生物学和绿色生物制造等领域的发展。
