Embodiment 1

[0041] Example 1: Construction of recombinant Escherichia coli containing ergothioneine synthesis gene cluster

[0042] (1) The ergothioneine synthesis genes RsEGT1 (genebank: RCH97401.1) and RsEGT2 (genebank: RCI05990.1) derived from Rhizopus stolonifer were selected, and the nucleotide sequences were obtained after codon optimization for Escherichia coli The gene fragments shown in SEQ ID NO. 1 and SEQ ID NO. 2 were subjected to DNA synthesis to obtain candidate genes.

[0043] (2) Design relevant primers (Table 1), take the RsEGT1 gene fragment whose nucleotide sequence is as shown in SEQ ID NO.1 in step (1) as a template, and use primers F1 and R1 to amplify the fragment RsEGT1 by PCR; The RsEGT2 gene fragment whose nucleotide sequence is shown in SEQ ID NO. 2 is used as a template, and the fragment RsEGT2 is obtained by PCR amplification using primers F2 and R2. Using pBAD / HisA vector (Beijing Jiangchen Biotechnology) as the template, the linear pBAD vector was amplified...

Abstract

The invention discloses a genetically engineered bacterium for high yield of ergothioneine, and belongs to the field of genetic engineering. The ergothioneine synthesis yield of the recombinant bacterium BWEGT-12 provided by the invention reaches the highest within 72 hours, and the yield is 110 mg / L. According to the method, ergothioneine synthesis gene clusters with different sources are screened firstly, ergothioneine synthesis genes from rhizopus nigricans and radiation-resistant red bacillus are screened, and the yield of 65mg / L and 77mg / L of ergothioneine is achieved preliminarily. Furthermore, chassis cells are improved, enhanced expression or knockout is carried out on related genes in metabolic pathways of histidine, cysteine and methionine, and the yield of 81mg / L of ergothioneine is achieved. In order to achieve higher yield, genes in the whole ways of methionine circulation and folic acid circulation are adjusted in a targeted manner, and finally the yield of 110mg / L of ergothioneine is achieved. According to the invention, efficient synthesis of ergothioneine is realized in escherichia coli, and the market supply of ergothioneine can be expanded.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a genetically engineered bacterium with high ergothioneine production, belonging to the field of genetic engineering. Background technique [0002] Ergothioneine (ergothioneine) is a sulfur-containing amino acid derivative, it is a unique cell physiological protection agent, widely exists in human blood, semen, liver and kidney and other tissues, with strong anti-oxidation, anti-aging , Anti-radiation activity, with the maintenance of DNA synthesis and normal cell growth and metabolism and a variety of physiological functions, is regarded as a functional active substance necessary to maintain human health. However, the human body cannot synthesize ergothioneine itself, and it needs to be obtained from other foods that synthesize ergothioneine, such as mushrooms, and accumulate in most cells and tissues of the human body through a new type of cation transporter (OCTN1). With the increase of age, the concentration of ergothionei...
