The invention is not limited to serine, ADP, AMP and sodium hexametaphosphate, and experimental results show that the introduction of an ADP regeneration system (taking serine, AMP and sodium hexametaphosphate as substrates) reduces the ADP/AMP consumption, and simultaneously replaces expensive ADP with relatively cheap AMP, wherein the unit price of the AMP is about one tenth of that of the ADP, thereby greatly reducing the production cost.

the substrate includes serine, AMP, sodium hexametaphosphate, and sodium thiosulfate.
Further, the thiosulfate is at least one selected from sodium thiosulfate, potassium thiosulfate and/or ammonium thiosulfate; in a specific embodiment of the present invention, the thiosulfate is sodium thiosulfate or ammonium thiosulfate;
In the preparation method of the invention, the adding sequence of the substances participating in the reaction is not limited, the substances participating in the ghost can be added in two steps or in one step, and in the specific embodiment of the invention, the specific steps when two steps are adopted are as follows:
step 1, catalyzing a substrate 1 to generate OPS by serine kinase and polyphosphate-AMP phosphotransferase in the presence of magnesium ions;

The concentration of the thiosulfate is 100-300 mM, specifically 200-260 mM;
the concentration of magnesium ions is 20 mM-60 mM, and is particularly 40mM optimal;
The addition amount of the bacterial cells containing serine kinase PkSerK is 1g/L to 5g/L;

The addition amount of the bacterial cells containing phosphoserine dependent S-sulfo-L-cysteine synthetase SSC03 (S256P fatin CT) is 10g/L to 50g/L;

In the present invention, the bacterial cells may contain both the polyphosphoric-AMP phosphotransferase PsPAP and the phosphoserine-dependent S-sulfo-L-cysteine synthetase SSC03 (S256P. Mu.CT) or may contain both the above-mentioned enzymes alone, in a specific embodiment of the present invention, the host cell containing both the above-mentioned enzymes alone is BL21 DE3, and the host cell containing both the above-mentioned enzymes is BSSC-d02 having a functional deficiency of tryptophan enzyme EcTnaA and glutaredoxin EcNrdH, and in the preparation method used in the specific embodiment of the present invention, the bacterial cells containing the enzymes involved in the reaction include at least one of the following two combinations:
combination a, pET28a-PsPAP (BL 21 DE 3), pET28a-SSC03 (S256 P+CT) (BL 21 DE 3), pET28a-PkSerK (BL 21 DE 3);
Combination b, pET28a-PsPAP-SSC03 (S256 father CT) (BSSC-d 02), pET28a-PkSerK (BSSC-d 02);
the test results show that the addition of the participating reaction substances in one step in combination b is simpler in steps, higher in product yield and quicker in reaction compared with the addition of the participating reaction substances in two steps in combination a.
Further, even though pET28a-PsPAP-SSC03 (S256 fatlutect) (BSSC-d 02) contains two enzymes, the activity of the corresponding enzyme is not decreased and the growth rate of the cell is not changed as compared with the expression of the two enzymes in BSSC-d02 alone.
The invention designs a new S-sulfo-L-cysteine biosynthesis route, which takes serine (L-serine), adenosine Diphosphate (ADP) and thiosulfate (thiosulfate) as substrates to synthesize SSC under the catalysis of serine kinase (SerK) and phosphoserine dependent S-sulfo-L-cysteine synthetase (CysK 2). On the open route, an ADP regeneration system consisting of polyphosphoric acid-AMP phosphotransferase (PAP), adenosine Monophosphate (AMP) and sodium hexametaphosphate is further introduced, so that expensive ADP is avoided, and the material cost of biosynthesis of SSC is further reduced. On the basis of optimizing the concentration and condition of the reaction substrate, a special E.coli competent cell for knocking out tryptophan enzyme and glutaredoxin degrading S-sulfo-L-cysteine is constructed, and the catalytic enzyme is expressed in the competent cell, so that the reaction conversion rate and the concentration of the product S-sulfo-L-cysteine are greatly improved.
The invention provides a new route for S-sulfo-L-cysteine biosynthesis, and test results show that the steps of S-sulfo-L-cysteine synthesis are simple, the product yield is high, the cost is low, and the industrial application prospect is stronger by using serine, AMP, sodium hexametaphosphate and sodium thiosulfate as substrates and using crude enzyme liquid containing serine kinase, polyphosphate-AMP phosphotransferase and phosphoserine dependent S-sulfo-L-cysteine synthetase which are used for knocking out tryptophan enzyme and glutaredoxin cell background.
