Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of synthetic biology and metabolic engineering, and more specifically relates to an L-glutamine-producing Corynebacterium glutamicum engineered strain, a construction method and an application thereof. Technical Background

[0002] L-glutamine, referred to as L-Gln, is a neutral amino acid that is abundant in the human body. Its chemical formula is C5H 10 N2O3. Its physicochemical properties are relatively stable, and it is a white crystalline powder with high solubility in water. L-glutamine is an important intermediate in the synthesis of various essential amino acids, playing a key role in nitrogen metabolism and biosynthesis. It has extensive research and application value in protein synthesis, immune regulation, intestinal health, and antioxidant activities. Currently, the industrial synthesis of L-glutamine primarily involves chemical methods, but these methods are complex and involve highly toxic reagents, making them unsuitable for sustainable L-glutamine production. Alternatively, microbial methods for L-glutamine synthesis are low-cost, non-toxic, and pollution-free, and are increasingly becoming the mainstream method for industrial L-glutamine synthesis.

[0003] Current industrial production of L-glutamine relies primarily on microbial fermentation, but this faces challenges such as irrational metabolic flux distribution, insufficient activity of key enzymes, and active product degradation pathways. Traditional approaches aim to increase yield through static gene knockout (such as complete knockout of odhA) or single enzyme optimization, but these often result in growth restriction or metabolic imbalance. For example, knockout of adenylyltransferase (glnE) impairs other cellular nitrogen metabolism functions, while complete inactivation of α-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase (ODHC) disrupts energy supply to the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle. Dynamic metabolic regulation technologies offer a new approach to addressing these challenges. Growth-stage-specific promoters can dynamically regulate gene expression based on cell growth status, avoiding the drawbacks of traditional static regulation. Furthermore, small RNA (sRNA)-mediated gene silencing can precisely inhibit target gene translation without altering the genome, enabling fine-grained regulation of metabolic flux. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide an L-glutamine-producing Corynebacterium glutamicum engineered strain and its construction method and application, which solves the "growth-synthesis" trade-off problem existing in the microbial fermentation production of L-glutamine in the prior art through multi-gene collaborative modification and spatiotemporal metabolic flow optimization, thereby improving industrial fermentation efficiency.

[0005] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0006] According to a first aspect of the present invention, a method for constructing an engineered strain of Corynebacterium glutamicum that produces high L-glutamine production using sRNA interference, site-directed mutagenesis, and a dynamic promoter is provided. The method comprises integrating the glutamine synthase encoding gene glnA, derived from Saccharomyces cerevisiae and containing a mutation in the tyrosine residue at surface position 99, and the sRNA-MicC-EcHfq regulatory module targeting the adenylyltransferase gene glnE into a vector plasmid to construct a plasmid capable of de-adenylylating glutamine synthase. Furthermore, the plasmid is transferred into Corynebacterium glutamicum in which the α-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase E1 subunit gene odhA is expressed by the growth-phase-specific promoter Pcg2705, thereby obtaining an engineered strain of Corynebacterium glutamicum that produces L-glutamine and is regulated by the sRNA interference, site-directed mutagenesis, and dynamic promoter.

[0007] According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the construction method comprises: after the plasmid capable of removing adenylylation of glutamine synthase is transferred into a Corynebacterium glutamicum strain, the gene encoding proB for γ-glutamyl kinase, a key step in proline synthesis, is knocked out; the gene encoding gltB for glutamate synthase in the L-glutamine decomposition pathway is knocked out; and the gene encoding gdh for glutamate dehydrogenase is overexpressed, thereby obtaining an engineered strain of Corynebacterium glutamicum that produces high L-glutamine production by utilizing sRNA interference, site-directed mutagenesis, and dynamic promoter regulation.

[0008] According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the construction method comprises the following steps in any order:

[0009] A, glnA (Y99F) and sRNA-MicC-EcHfq (targeting glnE) framework were integrated into the vector plasmid to obtain a plasmid that deadenylated glutamine synthase;

[0010] B. replacing the promoter of the odhA gene in the Corynebacterium glutamicum with the growth stage-specific promoter Pcg2705;

[0011] C. In addition to the proB gene in the Corynebacterium glutamicum, the gdh gene is overexpressed in the vector plasmid;

[0012] D. knocking out the gltB gene of the Corynebacterium glutamicum.

[0013] Furthermore, the nucleotide sequence of the glutamine synthase encoding gene glnA is shown in SEQ ID NO.1.

[0014] Furthermore, the nucleotide sequence of the sRNA targeting the glnE gene is shown in SEQ ID NO.2.

[0015] Furthermore, the nucleotide sequence of the growth stage specific promoter Pcg2705 is shown in SEQ ID NO.3.

[0016] Furthermore, the nucleotide sequence of the γ-glutamyl kinase encoding gene proB is shown in SEQ ID NO.4.

[0017] Furthermore, the nucleotide sequence of the glutamate synthase encoding gene gltB is shown in SEQ ID NO.5.

[0018] Furthermore, the nucleotide sequence of the glutamate dehydrogenase encoding gene gdh is shown in SEQ ID NO.6.

[0019] Furthermore, the Corynebacterium glutamicum chassis is selected from: Corynebacterium glutamicum ATCC13032.

[0020] Furthermore, the vector plasmid is preferably a PEC-XK99E plasmid, but it should be understood that the vector plasmid is not limited to the PEC-XK99E plasmid.

[0021] According to a second aspect of the present invention, there is provided an engineered strain of Corynebacterium glutamicum with high L-glutamine production regulated by sRNA interference-site-directed mutagenesis-dynamic promoter obtained according to the above construction method.

[0022] According to a third aspect of the present invention, there is provided an application of the Corynebacterium glutamicum strain in the field of chemicals, medicines, health products or feed, characterized in that the Corynebacterium glutamicum strain is used to prepare chemicals, medicines, health products or feed containing L-glutamine.

[0023] Furthermore, before fermentation culture, the genetically engineered bacteria are streaked onto a solid culture medium for activation, then inoculated into a seed culture medium to obtain a seed liquid, and then the seed liquid is inoculated into a fermentation culture medium for fermentation culture.

[0024] Furthermore, the application is to activate the genetically engineered bacteria and then culture them in a seed culture medium to obtain a seed liquid, wherein the culture temperature is 30°C, the pH is 7, the dissolved oxygen is controlled to be 30%~40%, and then the seed liquid is inoculated into the fermentation medium at an inoculum amount of 20%~30%.

[0025] Furthermore, the fermentation medium is composed of: 80 g / L glucose, 30 mL / L corn syrup, 40 g / L ammonium sulfate, 2.5 g / L potassium dihydrogen phosphate, 2 g / L urea, 2 g / L magnesium sulfate heptahydrate, and 5 mL / L trace element solution, and the pH is adjusted to 7.

[0026] Furthermore, the fermentation conditions are as follows: fermentation at 30°C, maintaining the dissolved oxygen at 30%-40% by adjusting the speed of the associated stirring blade, adjusting the pH at 6.2-6.5 by automatically adding ammonia water, maintaining the residual sugar concentration at 1-5 g / L by automatically adding 800 g / L of glucose solution, and the fermentation cycle is 72-90 h.

[0027] The main inventive aspect of the present invention lies in integrating the glutamine synthase-encoding gene glnA, derived from Saccharomyces cerevisiae and containing a mutation in the tyrosine residue at position 99, and the sRNA-MicC-EcHfq regulatory module targeting the adenylyltransferase gene glnE into a vector plasmid, which is then transformed into a Corynebacterium glutamicum chassis strain to obtain a strain that eliminates glutamine synthase adenylylation through multiple strategies. Furthermore, the present invention utilizes the growth-phase-specific promoter Pcg2705 to control the expression of the α-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase E1 subunit gene odhA, thereby optimizing the cell growth-production balance, further blocking the competing pathways of proline synthesis and L-glutamine degradation, and overexpressing glutamate dehydrogenase to increase precursor supply. This results in an engineered L-glutamine-producing Corynebacterium glutamicum strain controlled by sRNA interference, site-directed mutagenesis, and a dynamic promoter.

[0028] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

Through multi-gene collaborative modification and spatiotemporal metabolic flow optimization, it solves the difficult problem of the "growth-synthesis" trade-off in the existing technology, improves fermentation efficiency, simplifies the fermentation process, and has good prospects for industrial application.

[0035] In order to better understand the content of the present invention, the following is further described in conjunction with specific examples. It should be understood that the following examples are only used to illustrate the present invention and are not used to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0036] Experimental procedures in the following examples, where specific conditions are not specified, were generally performed according to conventional conditions, such as those described in Molecular Cloning: A Laboratory Manual (New York: Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press, 1989). Primers were synthesized by Shanghai Qingke Biotechnology Co., Ltd.

[0037] For better understanding content of the present invention, take Corynebacterium glutamicum ATCC13032 bacterial strain as starting bacterial strain and be further described for specific embodiment.Should be appreciated that following examples are only used to illustrate the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention.Those skilled in the art can carry out various modifications and replacements to the present invention without departing from the purpose and spirit of the present invention.

[0038] Example 1 Construction of a plasmid capable of deadenylation of glutamine synthase

[0039] The glnA gene fragment was amplified by PCR using the yeast culture medium of S. cerevisiae BY4741 as a template using primers glnA-1 / glnA-2. The PEC backbone was amplified by PCR using the PEC-XK99E plasmid (a universal shuttle plasmid for Corynebacterium glutamicum, purchased from Shanghai Qincheng Biotechnology Co., Ltd.) as a template using PV-1 / PV-2. The plasmid backbone fragment PEC-V and the glnA fragment were seamlessly cloned and transformed to obtain the PEC-glnA plasmid.

[0040] The constructed plasmid PEC-glnA was used as a template and primers Y99F-1 / Y99F-2 were used to amplify the plasmid fragment by PCR. The plasmid backbone fragment PEC-glnA(Y99F) was seamlessly cloned and transformed to obtain the PEC-glnA(Y99F) plasmid.

[0041] Using E. coli MG1655 culture medium as a template, primers MicC-1 / MicC-2 were used to amplify sRNA and MicC fragments by PCR. A 24 bp sRNA fragment was introduced by primer MicC-1 to amplify the fragment sRNA-MicC. Primers Hfq-1 / Hfq-2 were used to amplify the Hfq fragment by PCR. Using the PEC-glnA(Y99F) plasmid as a template, the PEC-glnA(Y99F) backbone was amplified by PCR using PglnA-V-1 / PglnA-V-2. Seamless cloning and transformation experiments were performed on the plasmid backbone fragments PEC-glnA(Y99F), sRNA-MicC, and Hfq, and finally the PEC-glnA(Y99F)-sRNA-MicC-Hfq plasmid was obtained.

[0042] Among them, the mechanism of action of RNA-MicC-EcHfq module is as follows Figure 3 As shown in the figure, RNA Predator analysis was used to select sRNAs that bind to the glnE gene and are less likely to cause off-target effects. Following plasmid expression, the sRNA is co-transcribed with the downstream E. coli-derived MicC scaffold. The resulting sRNA-MicC binds to the glnE gene at one end, while the other end (MicC) binds to Hfq (an RNA-binding protein that promotes complementary pairing between the sRNA and the target mRNA), ultimately recruiting RNase to degrade the target mRNA.
