Problems solved by technology

[0006] Although the above work has achieved certain results, the metabolic pathway for supplying glycine through the serine synthesis pathway is long and involves multi-step enzymatic reactions, and the key enzyme glyceraldehyde-3 phosphate dehydrogenase is subject to strict feedback regulation. Intracellular effective supply, and multi-enzyme expression will also increase the metabolic burden of engineering bacteria, thereby affecting the growth and metabolism of bacteria. Therefore, although the production of ALA in engineering strains has increased, its final output is still very low, unable to Suitable for industrial scale production applications

Embodiment 1

[0071] Embodiment 1. alanine: the construction of glyoxylate transaminase (AGT) expression vector

[0072] In order to verify the role of alanine: glyoxylate transaminase (AGT) in the synthesis of glycine and ALA, first use the pZPA26 vector (p15A ori, Cm resistance, preserved in our laboratory, its structure is as follows figure 1 shown) and the strong promoter J23100 to construct the AGT expression plasmid. Primers AGT-F and AGT-R were designed according to the genome sequence of Saccharomyces cerevisiae published by NCBI (Table 1), and the AGT coding gene fragment with the J23100 promoter was amplified by PCR using the yeast genome as a template. At the same time, primers p26-F and p26-R (Table 1) were used to amplify the fragments of the pZPA26 vector, and the above fragments were recovered and recombined to obtain the AGT expression vector pAGT.

[0073] Embodiment 2. Construction of isocitrate lyase (AceA) and AGT co-expression vector

[0074] In order to construct the co-expression vector of isocitrate lyase (AceA) and AGT, primers AceA-F and AceA-R (Table 1) were designed according to the sequence sequence of the E. coli aceA gene published by NCBI, and the genome of E. coli BW25113 was used as a template by PCR The aceA gene fragment was amplified. After the fragment was recovered, it was recombined with pAGT treated with BamHI digestion to obtain the vector pAGT-AceA co-expressing AGT and AceA.

Embodiment 3

[0077] Embodiment 3. Construction of malate synthase (AceB) deletion mutant

[0078] In order to open up the synthesis pathway of glyoxylate to glycine, it is necessary to delete the gene aceB encoding malate synthase in the glyoxylate cycle in the host bacteria, so that glyoxylate becomes the final product. The aceB:kan strain JW3974 was picked from the keio collection, prepared competently, and transformed into pCP20 (expressing the recombinase FLP). After heat induction, the kan marker gene and the pCP20 plasmid were removed to obtain the aceB-deleted strain BW25113ΔaceB. And the above vectors and pZGA24 (ALAS expression vector) or pZPA6 (ALAS and PPC co-expression vector) were transferred into the strain to obtain recombinant engineering strains BW25113 / pZGA24 / pZPA26, BW25113 / pZGA24 / pAGT, BW25113 / pZGA24 / pAGT-AceA 、BW25113 / pZPA6 / pZPA26、BW25113 / pZPA6 / pAGT、BW25113 / pZPA6 / pAGT-AceA、BW25113ΔaceB / pZGA24 / pZPA26、BW25113ΔaceB / pZGA24 / pZPA26、BW25113ΔaceB / pZGA24 / pAGT-AceA、BW25113ΔaceB / ...

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for constructing an ALA high-yield strain by enhancing the activity of alanine:glyoxylate aminotransferase in a 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) producing strain or introducing exogenous alanine:glyoxylate aminotransferase into the 5-aminolevulinic acid producing strain. The invention also discloses the ALA high-yield strain constructed by using the method and a methodfor preparing ALA by using the strain. The strain provided by the invention can be used to produce the ALA in the high-efficiency low-cost and low-pollution manner without adding exogenous glycine.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical fields of genetic engineering and microbial fermentation. Specifically, the present invention relates to a 5-aminolevulinic acid producing strain and its construction method and application. Background technique [0002] 5-Aminolevulinic acid (5-aminolevulinic acid, ALA) is an important high value-added bio-based chemical product, which is widely used in agriculture, medicine, feed, health care products and other fields. At present, ALA is mainly produced by chemical synthesis, which has high cost and heavy pollution, which limits its popularization and application in various fields. In recent years, the use of microbial fermentation to synthesize ALA has gradually become a research hotspot due to the advantages of low cost and no pollution. [0003] There are two main synthetic pathways for ALA in organisms. Among them, the carbon 4 (C4) pathway uses succinyl-CoA and glycine as substrates, and is catalyzed by A...
