Fluoroacetate dehalogenase mutant and application thereof

Abstract

Disclosed in the present invention is a fluoroacetate dehalogenase mutant, a sequence of the fluoroacetate dehalogenase mutant comprising a mutated sequence having an amino acid residue H at position 155 and/or an amino acid residue W at position 156, as shown in SEQ ID NO: 1; the fluoroacetate dehalogenase mutant has activity catalyzing bromination of a substrate, particularly a 2-bromobutyric acid substrate. Also provided in the present invention is an application of said fluoroacetate dehalogenase mutant in the preparation of (R)-2-bromobutyric acid and/or (R)-2-hydroxybutyric acid. When using the fluoroacetate dehalogenase mutant of the present invention to prepare (R)-2-bromobutyric acid, production costs are low and stereoselectivity is high, facilitating industrialized production.
