AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0003] The commonly used detection techniques such as HPLC, LC-MS and Western blot are not only cumbersome but also unable to detect the molecular concentration in time
Especially in the process of high-throughput screening of high-producing strains, metabolite detection greatly limits the screening efficiency

Embodiment 1

[0030] Embodiment 1: Construction of PYR sensor plasmid pYR02

[0031] Using the E.coli MG1655 genome as a template, the pdhR fragment with adapter was amplified with primers pdhR-F and pdhR-R. Using the ptrc99a plasmid as a template, ptrc99a-ver-F1 and ptrc99a-ver-R1 primers were amplified to obtain the plasmid backbone ptrc99a-Gibson1 for Gibson assembly with adapters, and the above pdhR fragment was obtained by Gibson assembly to obtain plasmid pYR01. The PhdR nucleotide sequence is shown in SEQ NO.2.

[0032] Use the pUC57-GFPmut2 plasmid as a template, with a promoter P AP (SEQ NO.1) The primers GFPmut2-F and GFPmut2-R for the linker amplify the GFPmut2 fragment with the linker. Using the pYR01 plasmid as a template, ptrc99a-ver-F2 and ptrc99a-ver-R2 primers were amplified to obtain a plasmid backbone ptrc99a-Gibson2 for Gibson assembly with a linker, and the above GFPmut2 fragment was used to obtain plasmid pYR02 through Gibson assembly. The plasmid map is as follows ...

Embodiment 2

[0040] Example 2: Testing the pYR02 biosensor

[0041] The plasmid pYR02 was transformed into MG1655 competent medium, and the strain MG1655-pYR02 was constructed. Pick a single colony in 5 mL of LB medium containing ampicillin antibiotics, cultivate overnight at 37°C at 200 rpm to form a seed solution, transfer 100 μL of seed liquid to fresh 5 mL of LB medium containing ampicillin antibiotics, and cultivate at 37°C at 200 rpm until OD ~ 0.2-0.6, different concentrations of PYR were added to achieve the desired different induction concentrations. After induction for 5-7 hours, 200 μL was taken to measure the fluorescence intensity (AFU) and absorbance (OD) at 600 nm of the sample, and the results showed a certain linear relationship between pyruvate and the fluorescence intensity per unit OD.

Embodiment 3

[0042] Example 3: Mutation library construction of PdhR protein

[0043] PdhR protein was mutated using TIANDZ instant error-prone PCR kit v 1.3 to build a library. Specific PCR systems include:

[0044] Table 3 Error-prone PCR reaction system

[0045]

[0046] The error-prone PCR reaction program is: 94°C, 3min; 94°C, 1min, 45°C, 1min, 72°C, 1min, 40 cycles.

[0047]pdhR was connected with the plasmid backbone p15ASI-Gibson3 through Gibson-assemble to form a plasmid mutation library, which was transformed into competent DH5α and coated on a solid plate containing ampicillin resistance. Pick 20 single colonies for sequencing, and the Sanger sequencing of 20 colonies shows that the mutation rate is 0-4 mutations / kb.

[0048] The primers used in this part are as follows:

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for quickly detecting pyruvic acid (pyruvic acid, PYR), which belongs to the technical fields of biosensing, molecular detection and genetic engineering. The present invention constructs a PYR-specific biosensor with the transcriptional regulator PdhR and green fluorescent protein derived from Escherichia coli (Escherichia coli K12) as a reporter gene, establishes an effective relationship between PYR and fluorescence intensity, and builds a library through mutations to screen PdhR mutants R1.0, R1.1 and R1.3 with increased responsiveness to PYR were obtained. The biosensor has important application prospects in detecting PYR and screening PYR producing strains and microorganisms with PYR as precursor metabolites.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a pyruvic acid (pyruvic acid, PYR) specific biosensor and an application thereof, belonging to the technical field of genetic engineering. Background technique [0002] Microbial synthetic pathways provide platforms for the production of valuable metabolites from inexpensive renewable resources, such as pharmaceuticals and cosmetics. Identifying potential rate-limiting steps in metabolic pathways has very important guiding significance for regulating the metabolic flux of target products, especially the detection of key enzymes or important intermediate metabolites in metabolic pathways is crucial to the transformation and evaluation of metabolic pathways. PYR is a product of the glycolysis pathway (glycolysis), an extremely important precursor for the synthesis of amino acids such as threonine and arginine, and products such as succinic acid, and it is also the only way to enter the tricarboxylic acid cycle (TCA). Therefore, ...
