Abstract

The invention relates to a construction method of a glucose-tolerant high-secretion genetic engineering recipient bacterium. The method comprises the following steps: a, selecting target genes inhibited by CCR, such as ackA, ycgE, ptsH, budA, acsA, xylA and sucC, and determining a site and base sequence of cre box of each target gene; b, designing a group of gRNAs with the similarity of 30-100% with cre box consensus sequence target fragments, and ensuring that editing of a plurality of target cre box fragments can be realized; and c, constructing integrated plasmid containing a CRISPR/Cas9 locus and the gRNAs, and transferring the integrated plasmid into bacillus to realize editing of a plurality of cre box sites of a genome. By adopting the gene modification method provided by the invention, the CCR repression effect of a plurality of genes can be removed at the same time, so that secondary metabolites of bacteria are increased, and the high-secretion genetic engineering recipient bacterium can be obtained. The CCR effect is removed, so that the glucose tolerance of the engineering bacterium is improved, and the engineering bacterium has relatively strong cell secretion capability and can be used as recipient cells for microbial fermentation.

[0022] Example 1:
[0023] 1. Construction of recombinant plasmids
[0024] 1. Design of gRNA
[0025] Determine the target genes that have CCR effect and contain crebox, a cis-element in the glucose metabolism pathway, and specifically select the following seven target genes:
[0026] ackA UP12_RS13195 acetate kinase
[0027] ycgE UP12_RS01730 aminotransferase
[0028] ptsH UP12_RS06700 phosphocarrierprotein HPr
[0029] budA UP12_RS16915 acetolactate decarboxylase
[0030] acsA UP12_RS13395 acetyl-CoA synthetase
[0031] xylA UP12_RS09365 xylose isomerase
[0032] sucC UP12_RS07835 succinate-CoAligase[ADP-forming]subunitbeta
[0033] Determine the crebox sequence and specific position in the target gene.
[0034] Using the feature that Cas9 protein cuts about 3 bp at the 5' end of the binding site after the gRNA is positioned, select the cre box and the subsequent 20 bp sequence and select PAM as the NNG to design the target fragment. Each gene corresponds to multiple Group possible target fragments, analyze and summarize the seven gene target editing fragments, group them according to the similarity of target fragments, design a single gRNA to cut several target genes with high similarity at the same time, and finally design a The three gRNA sequences are shown in Table 1. The target fragment sequence contains part or all of the cre box sequence, about 4-15 bp. For example, the overlap between the target fragment sequence CGCACCAAATGGCCAGACG of ycgE and the cre box sequence TTGCCAATGCTG is 4 bp. The overlap between the target fragment sequence GTGGAAACGCTACCATCAGT of acsA and the cre box sequence GTGGAAACGCTACCA is 15 bp. If it is less than 4bp, the gene fragment of the target cre box sequence may not be edited.

[0040] 1) Preparation of 0.8% agarose gel: Weigh 0.24g of agarose and place it in a conical flask, add 30mL of 1×TAE, heat it in a microwave for 1-2min on high heat until the agarose is completely melted, shake well, and it will be 0.8% Agarose gel liquid. Let stand for a while to cool until it is not hot to the hands and add 3uL of RbGreen dye.
[0041] 2) Glue block preparation: Take the glue-making tank in the electrophoresis tank, wash it, dry it, and put it into the glue-making glass plate. Place the inner tank in a horizontal position and place the comb in a fixed position. The slightly cooled agarose gel was mixed and poured into the inner glass plate carefully, and the entire surface of the glass plate was spread to form a glue layer. Let stand at room temperature until the gel is completely solidified, pull the comb vertically, remove the tape, and put the gel and the inner tank into the electrophoresis tank. Add 1×TAE running buffer to the submerged plate.

Example Embodiment

[0092] Example 2
[0093] Glucose fermentation medium (GYN): 2g yeast powder, 0.05g MgSO4·7H2O, add 1% volume of urea mother liquor (sterilized at 20% 0.05Mpa for 20min), and add glucose according to different concentrations. Add deionized water to 100mL, pH 7.2~7.5, sterilize at 0.08Mpa for 20min.
[0094]The recombinant Bacillus pumilus LG3145 was picked and cultured in 4 μg/ml liquid medium containing chloramphenicol for 12 hours, then 200 μL was added to 100 ml glucose fermentation medium at 150 rpm, and the growth was observed for 24 hours with shaking at 37°C. And using UV spectrophotometer to sample every two hours to determine the bacterial concentration, Bacilluspumilus LG3145 grows much better than wild bacteria in the case of high sugar.
[0095] When the recombinant Bacillus pumilus LG3145 was cultured in different concentrations of glucose fermentation medium, the glucose tolerance of Bacillus pumilus LG3145 was significantly improved, and the glucose tolerance could reach 40g/100ml.
[0096] After scanning electron microscope and atomic force microscope detection, it was found that the secretion of bacteria in vitro was more than that when cultured in LB liquid medium, and the phenomenon of large sugar coat appeared. These phenotypic changes showed that part of the CCR effect of the modified bacteria was abolished, and the crebox sequence was mutated.
[0097] The results of gene sequencing showed that the crebox and its vicinity of the seven target genes were mutated. The number and types of mutations are listed in Table 2. The specific mutation sites are shown in the appendix. Figure 5 shown. The results showed that the number of mutations in the sucC gene was less, and its target fragment was only 30% similar to Cax-gRNA; while the number of mutations in the ackA gene was more, and its target fragment was 70% similar to Cac-gRNA, indicating that gRNA is closely related to Cac-gRNA. The higher the similarity of the target fragment, the higher the specificity. If the similarity is controlled within a certain range (30-100%), the editing range of the Cas9 protein can be well controlled.
