Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of genetic engineering, in particular to a recombinant bacterium for increasing the yield of (22R, 23R)-22,23-dihydroxy-7-dehydrocampesterol and an application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Brassinosteroids, a class of sixth-class plant hormones, play a crucial regulatory role in plant growth processes such as seed germination, root growth, and reproduction. As the most biologically active of the brassinosteroids, brassinolide (also known as brassinolide) has broad application prospects in agriculture. Due to the extremely low content of brassinolide in plants and the lack of scalable chemical synthetic precursors in nature, mass production of brassinolide is difficult. Therefore, the most viable technical route for mass production of brassinolide is to use synthetic biology methods to construct an artificially designed biosynthetic pathway for semi-synthetic precursors of brassinolide in microorganisms and obtain these precursors on a large scale through fermentation.

[0003] In the semi-synthetic reaction process, the most critical step is the double bond dihydroxylation reaction catalyzed by rare platinum group metal (such as osmium) oxide. Among them, the Sharpless asymmetric dihydroxylation reaction assisted by chiral ligands and catalyzed by OsO4 can obtain 22R,23R-dihydroxy brassinolide compounds (such as brassinolide lactone) with higher activity in higher yields. However, the use of highly toxic OsO4 and expensive chiral ligands will lead to high risk in the reaction process and high manufacturing costs, which limits the commercial application of brassinolide. Therefore, with the help of synthetic biology methods, semi-synthetic precursors with 22R,23R-dihydroxy structures can be directly obtained through microbial fermentation, which can avoid the use of OsO4 and its chiral ligands, control the synthesis cost of brassinolide compounds, and promote the green, environmental protection and safety of the production process. In Chinese patent CN116496337A, by introducing Arabidopsis thaliana ( Arabidopsis thaliana ) derived from cytochrome P450 reductase AtCPR1, C-22 sterol hydroxylase AtDWF4 (AtCYP90B1) and C-23 sterol hydroxylase AtCYP90D1, to achieve the synthesis of a semi-synthetic precursor with a 22R,23R-dihydroxy structure, namely (22R,23R)-22,23-dihydroxy-7-dehydrocampesterol.

[0004] However, Chinese patent CN116496337A is limited by the weak catalytic activity of Arabidopsis thaliana-derived cytochrome P450 enzymes and the poor substrate selectivity of AtDWF4. Through high-density fermentation, the yield of (22R,23R)-22,23-dihydroxy-7-dehydrocampesterol is 100.60 mg / L, and the synthesis level is low. Summary of the Invention

[0040] The present invention provides a recombinant bacterium for increasing the yield of (22R, 23R)-22,23-dihydroxy-7-dehydrocampesterol, wherein the recombinant bacterium expresses truncated cytochrome P450 reductase, flax ( Cannabis sativa ) derived cytochrome P450 enzymes and peanuts ( Arachis stenosperma ) cytochrome P450 enzymes from Saccharomyces cerevisiae YQC512;

[0042] The amino acid sequence of the cytochrome P450 enzyme derived from sesame is shown in SEQ ID NO.2;

[0043] The peanut-derived cytochrome P450 enzyme includes a wild-type P450 enzyme and / or a mutant of the wild-type P450 enzyme; the amino acid sequence of the wild-type P450 enzyme is shown in SEQ ID NO.3;

[0044] The mutants of the wild-type P450 enzyme include one or more of a first mutant, a second mutant, a third mutant, a fourth mutant and a fifth mutant; the amino acid sequences of the first mutant, the second mutant, the third mutant, the fourth mutant and the fifth mutant are shown in SEQ ID NO.5, SEQ ID NO.6, SEQ ID NO.7, SEQ ID NO.8 and SEQ ID NO.9 respectively.

[0045] As an embodiment, the peanut-derived cytochrome P450 enzyme may be a mutant of a wild-type P450 enzyme. As an embodiment, the mutant of the wild-type P450 enzyme may be a fifth mutant. As an embodiment, the promoter of the gene encoding the mutant of the wild-type P450 enzyme may be P GAL1 promoter.

[0046] As an embodiment, the genome of the recombinant bacteria is further integrated with a fourth expression cassette; the fourth expression cassette expresses sterol Δ 24(28) reductase and the peanut-derived cytochrome P450 enzyme, the sterol Δ 24(28) The amino acid sequence of the reductase is shown in SEQ ID NO. 4. As an embodiment, the cytochrome P450 enzyme expressed by the fourth expression cassette can be the fifth mutant. As an embodiment, the sterol Δ 24(28) The promoter of the reductase encoding gene can be P GAL7 The sterol Δ 24(28) The reductase is an enzyme expressed by Saccharomyces cerevisiae YQC512. The present invention further increases the sterol Δ 24(28)The copy numbers of the reductase and the peanut-derived cytochrome P450 enzyme not only increase the supply of the hydroxylated precursor (7-dehydrocampesterol), but also further enhance the (22R, 23R)-22,23-dihydroxy-7-dehydrocampesterol synthesis ability of Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

[0047] As an embodiment, the genome of the recombinant bacteria is also integrated with P SUC2 The GAL4 expression cassette expressed; the P SUC2 The nucleotide sequence of the expressed GAL4 expression cassette is shown in SEQ ID NO.10.

[0048] The AsCYP90D1 mutants AsT117G, AsS213G, AsM216V, AsE289H and AsM4 obtained by rational design in the present invention have significantly improved catalytic activities compared with the wild type.

[0049] The present invention obtains cytochrome P450 enzymes with higher enzyme activity and better substrate selectivity by mining, and then uses a rational design method to rationally design the site in the catalytic pocket of AsCYP90D1 that binds to the steroid ring to improve its catalytic ability for non-natural substrates. Secondly, the rate-limiting enzyme is overexpressed to increase the yield of (22R, 23R)-22,23-dihydroxy-7-dehydrocampesterol. Finally, a sucrose-inducible promoter P is used to SUC2 The transcriptional regulatory factor GAL4 is expressed to achieve the purpose of using sucrose as a carbon source and inducing gene expression at the same time.

[0050] In order to avoid the expression and catalysis of plant-derived cytochrome P450 enzymes affecting the growth of bacteria in the early stage of fermentation, Chinese patent CN116496337A uses a lactose-inducible promoter ( P GAL1 、 P GAL2 ), this type of promoter is strongly induced by ethanol in a Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain with the GAL80 gene knocked out ( Figure 2 ), in the middle and late stages of the high-density fermentation process, ethanol is used as a carbon source to induce the expression of Arabidopsis thaliana-derived cytochrome P450 enzymes and their reductases. However, the amount of ethanol used is close to one-third of the volume of the fermentation tank. In industrial fermentation production (using 5-ton, 10-ton, 20-ton tanks), tons of sterile ethanol need to be reserved as a carbon source. Not only is it difficult to sterilize ethanol, but it also contains huge safety risks. The present invention uses CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing tools to modify the sucrose-inducible promoter P SUC2 The transcriptional regulatory factor GAL4 was integrated into the genome of Saccharomyces cerevisiae YQC512, so that the promoter regulated by GAL4 (P GAL1 、P GAL2 、P GAL7) can be strongly expressed under culture conditions where sucrose is the sole carbon source, so that sucrose can be used as a carbon source in the middle and late stages of high-density fermentation to induce exogenous gene expression, thereby increasing the yield of (22R,23R)-22,23-dihydroxy-7-dehydrorapesterol and reducing the safety risks of using ethanol as a carbon source in existing fermentation production processes.

[0141] In formula I, X0, V0, and S are the initial biomass density (gDCW / L), initial culture volume (L), and glucose concentration in the culture medium (g / L), respectively; Y X / S is the yield of cell biomass to glucose (gDCW / g glucose); μ is the specific growth rate (h -1 m is the maintenance factor (g glucose / gDCW / h), and t is the time after the start of feeding (h). The specific growth rate was set to 0.1h -1 , Y X / S Set to 0.5 and m to 0.05.

[0142] After the fermentation, the yield of (22R,23R)-22,23-dihydroxy-7-dehydrocampesterol in YQD693 strain was detected by HPLC-UV. 5,7 Since the side chain groups of sterols have little effect on the response value, a standard curve was prepared using a solution prepared with ergosterol standard for quantitative analysis. The test results showed that the yield of (22R,23R)-22,23-dihydroxy-7-dehydrocampesterol was 388.91 mg / L, which is 3.85 times that of the YQD630 strain (glucose-ethanol) disclosed in Chinese patent CN116496337A ( Figure 8 ).

[0143] In summary, the cytochrome P450 enzyme expressed by the recombinant bacteria provided by the present invention has higher activity and better substrate selectivity, and can increase the yield of (22R, 23R)-22,23-dihydroxy-7-dehydrocampesterol.

[0144] Although the above embodiment provides a detailed description of the present invention, it is only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. People can also obtain other embodiments based on this embodiment without creativity, and these embodiments all fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
