AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

The current yield of L-homoserine synthesized by Corynebacterium glutamicum is not high, which may be due to the imbalance of cofactor supply leading to limited production.

Method used

A recombinant strain of Corynebacterium glutamicum was constructed. By knocking out or weakening certain genes and integrating the expression of specific genes, the L-homoserine metabolic pathway was optimized. This included knocking out genes such as mcbR, metD, thrB, pck, and metY, and integrating the expression of genes such as pycP458S, lysCT311I, asd, and hom. The cofactor supply balance was achieved by utilizing NADP+-dependent glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase.

Benefits of technology

The efficient production of L-homoserine using inexpensive glucose as a substrate was achieved, with a yield of 60.3–63.5 g/L, thus improving production efficiency.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application relates to construction and application of a high-yield L-homoserine Corynebacterium glutamicum mutant, and belongs to the technical field of fermentation engineering. BACKGROUND

[0002] L-homoserine is an important platform compound, which can be used not only for synthesizing L-methionine, but also as a precursor for synthesizing spermine. Recently, L-homoserine has also been used for synthesizing the herbicide L-glufosinate. Most commercial glufosinate is a mixture of D- and L-glufosinate, but only L-glufosinate has herbicidal activity. If all D-glufosinate is converted into L-glufosinate, the amount and cost of glufosinate can be reduced, thereby reducing the harm to the soil and crops. Therefore, the market demand for L-homoserine is increasing.

[0003] In Corynebacterium glutamicum, glucose is converted into pyruvate through glycolysis, in which NADH is produced by the catalysis of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (EC: 1.2.1.12; gapA encoding), and ATP is produced by the catalysis of phosphoglycerate kinase (EC: 2.7.2.3; pgk encoding); pyruvate is converted into oxaloacetate under the catalysis of pyruvate carboxylase (EC: 6.4.1.1; pyc encoding), which consumes ATP and absorbs carbon dioxide; oxaloacetate is converted into aspartate under the catalysis of aspartate dehydrogenase (EC: 2.6.1.1; aspB encoding), which consumes one glutamate, and the synthesis of glutamate consumes NADPH; aspartate is converted into aspartate-4-phosphate under the catalysis of aspartate kinase (EC: 2.7.2.4; lysC encoding), which consumes ATP; aspartate-4-phosphate is converted into aspartate-4-semialdehyde under the catalysis of aspartate-semialdehyde dehydrogenase (EC: 1.2.1.11; asd encoding), which consumes NADPH; and aspartate-4-semialdehyde is converted into the target product L-homoserine under the catalysis of homoserine dehydrogenase (EC: 1.1.1.3; hom encoding), which consumes NADPH. It is found that the synthesis of L-homoserine from glucose as a carbon source consumes a large amount of NADPH, and a large amount of NADH is generated at the same time.

[0004] Corynebacterium glutamicum is a safe and robust industrial microorganism, which can be used to produce high-value chemicals from cheap substrates. Currently, there are reports on the synthesis of L-homoserine by Corynebacterium glutamicum, but the yield is not high (Construction and application of a mutant strain of Corynebacterium glutamicum producing L-homoserine. Patent No. ZL202010439183.2; Li et al., Optimization of CRISPR-Cas9 through promoter replacement and efficient production of L-homoserine in Corynebacterium glutamicum. Biotechnology Journal, published in 2021). It is speculated from the literature that the yield of L-homoserine synthesized by Corynebacterium glutamicum is limited due to the imbalance of co-factor supply. SUMMARY
