AI Technical Summary
Existing technologies make it difficult to efficiently synthesize mogroside V, resulting in high production costs and difficulties in large-scale production, mainly due to the ineffective utilization of squalene epoxidase ERG1 and the irrational distribution of metabolic enzymes in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to an engineered yeast of Saccharomyces cerevisiae capable of efficiently synthesizing mogroside V based on lipid droplet subcellular organelles and a construction method thereof, and belongs to the field of synthetic biology. Background Art
[0002] A high-sugar diet contributes to a range of modern health problems, including dental caries, obesity, diabetes, metabolic syndrome, and cardiovascular disease. Plant-derived mogrosides (MG) have emerged as a new generation of sweeteners, satisfying the need for sweetness, due to their high sweetness, low calories, safety, fat-reducing properties, and resistance to dental caries. Mogrosides are widely used as beverage and food additives. The national standard, "National Food Safety Standard for Food Additives" (GB 2760-2014), stipulates that mogrosides can be used in unlimited quantities. It is the only sweetener approved for use in infant and toddler foods, making it a new favorite in the global sweetener market. MG has currently received GRAS certification from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and has gained market access in over 20 countries, including the United States, Japan, South Korea, Singapore, and Australia. Against the backdrop of global sugar reduction efforts, MG holds enormous market potential.
[0003] Mogroside V is the main source of sweetness in mogrosides, but its content in the whole fruit is only 0.8% to 1.3%. Furthermore, the optimal cultivation area for monk fruit is narrow and biological resources are limited. Therefore, large-scale production of mogroside V cannot be achieved by extracting it from monk fruit. Using advanced synthetic biology techniques to construct microbial cell factories that synthesize mogroside V from scratch in microorganisms is a disruptive method for producing mogroside V in the future, enabling low-cost, large-scale production.
[0004] Mogroside V is a triterpenoid saponin produced in the cytoplasm. Its biosynthetic pathway can be roughly divided into four stages: the synthesis of the upstream precursors IPP and DMAPP, the formation of the midstream skeleton 24,25-epoxycucurbitadienol, the downstream production of the parent nucleus mogroside alcohol, and the formation of mogroside V. Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a safe eukaryotic model microorganism with a clear genetic background, mature genetic modification technology, and a mevalonate (MVA) pathway capable of biosynthesizing terpenes. IPP and DMAPP can be sequentially synthesized into the triterpene precursor squalene SQ under the catalysis of farnesyl pyrophosphate synthase ERG20 and squalene synthase ERG9.
[0005] Thus, squalene is a key intermediate in the fermentation of mogroside V by Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Its content and utilization efficiency determine the yield of mogroside V produced by Saccharomyces cerevisiae. While some Saccharomyces cerevisiae squalene enters the ergosterol pathway, the majority is temporarily stored as a fat-soluble component in lipid droplet subcellular organelles. Squalene epoxidase ERG1 is a key enzyme in the biosynthesis of ergosterol and MG-V. The present invention anchors squalene epoxidase ERG1 in lipid droplets and, through a peptide interaction tag, assembles a multi-enzyme complex with the epoxide hydrolase SgEPH3 in a 1:2 ratio, pulling squalene toward MG-V synthesis. This results in a Saccharomyces cerevisiae engineering project for efficient MG-V synthesis within lipid droplet subcellular organelles. Summary of the Invention
[0006] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide an engineered yeast of Saccharomyces cerevisiae that can efficiently synthesize mogroside V based on lipid droplet subcellular organelles and a construction method thereof.

[0010] In step (1):

[0016] The cytochrome P450 enzyme reductase AtCPR1 (NCBI Sequence ID: NP_194183.1) is truncated at the amino terminus by 46 amino acid residues and fused to the carboxyl terminus of CYP87D18. The carboxyl terminus interacts with the chlortetracycline polyketide synthase polypeptide via a flexible linker (GGGGS) 3. Tag A2 C DD (nucleotide sequence as SEQ ID NO.7) fusion.
[0017] In step (2):
[0018] The amino and carboxyl ends of the phosphoglucomutase PGM1 (NCBI Sequence ID: NP_012795.1) are respectively connected to the rapamycin polyketide synthase peptide interaction tag R5 through a flexible linker (GGGGS) 3 N DD (nucleotide sequence such as SEQ ID NO.8) and R10 C DD (nucleotide sequence as SEQ ID NO.9) fusion.
[0019] The carboxyl terminus of the α-phosphoglucomutase PGM2 (NCBI Sequence ID: NP_013823.1) interacts with the rapamycin polyketide synthase peptide tag R4 through a flexible linker (GGGGS) 3C DD (nucleotide sequence such as SEQ ID NO.10) fusion.
[0020] The amino and carboxyl ends of the uridine diphosphate glucose pyrophosphorylase UGP1 (NCBI Sequence ID: NP_012889.3) are respectively connected to the rapamycin polyketide synthase peptide interaction tag R11 through a flexible linker (GGGGS) 3.

[0026] The coding genes of the MG-V anabolic enzymes are all driven to express by the yeast galactokinase (GAL1) gene promoter (nucleotide sequence such as SEQ ID NO.17).
[0027] The Saccharomyces cerevisiae engineered bacteria that efficiently synthesizes mogroside V based on lipid droplet subcellular organelles is constructed by the above-mentioned construction method.
[0028] The present invention also provides a method for producing mogroside V.
[0029] Specifically, a method for producing mogroside V comprises fermenting the above-mentioned engineered yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae to produce mogroside V.
[0030] The method for producing mogroside V uses YPD culture medium as fermentation medium.
[0031] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0032] Mogroside V (MG-V) is a triterpenoid compound, and squalene is a key precursor in its biosynthesis. Squalene epoxidase ERG1 is a key enzyme in the biosynthesis of ergosterol and MG-V. To increase the biosynthetic flux of mogroside V, the present invention anchors the squalene cyclase ERG1 in lipid droplets. Through a peptide interaction tag, a multi-enzyme complex is assembled with the epoxide hydrolase SgEPH3 at a 1:2 ratio, pulling squalene toward MG-V synthesis. Moreover, the epoxide hydrolase SgEPH3 and downstream metabolic enzymes, such as cucurbitadienol synthase SgCDS, cytochrome P450 enzyme CYP87D18, cytochrome P450 enzyme reductase AtCPR1, phosphoglucomutase PGM1, α-phosphoglucomutase PGM2, uridine diphosphate glucose pyrophosphorylase UGP1, glycosyltransferase UGTMG1, and glycosyltransferase SgUGT94-289-3, are linearly assembled into a multi-enzyme complex in lipid droplets, thereby allowing more squalene in lipid droplets to flow to the MG-V anabolic flow. In addition, glycosyltransferase UGTMG1 and glycosyltransferase SgUGT94-289-3 assemble into an enzyme complex, which brings different mogroside glycosyltransferases closer in space, strengthens the approach effect and directional effect of glycosyltransferases, improves the adaptability of exogenous glycosyltransferases in the lipid droplet subcellular organelle microenvironment, increases the activity of glycosyltransferases, and also increases the specificity of glycosyltransferases in catalyzing the formation of mogroside V, thereby avoiding the production of other glycosides.

[0102] (1) Preparation of seed culture: Pick a single colony of engineered Saccharomyces cerevisiae and transfer it to 5 mL of YPD liquid medium. Cultivate at 30°C and 220 rpm for 12-15 h until the cells reach the logarithmic growth phase.
[0103] (2) Fermentation: Inoculate 100 mL of YPD liquid medium with a 1% to 5% inoculum of the seed culture medium, incubate at 30°C, 220 rpm for 96 h, and collect the fermentation broth.
[0104] (3) Fermentation Sample Processing: After centrifugation at 8000 rpm for 5 min, the supernatant was collected and chromatographic-grade formic acid was added to the supernatant to a final concentration of 3% (v / v). The supernatant was allowed to stand at 4°C for 5 h and then centrifuged at 8000 rpm for 5 min. The supernatant was collected and filtered through a 0.22 μm aqueous filter before being added to a liquid chromatography detection bottle for testing.
