[0002] Benzylisoquinoline alkaloids (BIAs) are a family of alkaloids with potential medicinal value. Besides their prominent roles in traditional medicine, they also have a wide range of pharmacological applications, such as analgesics, antitussives, and antibacterial agents. Recently, preliminary studies have revealed new potential for treating cancer, malaria, AIDS, and mental illness. Despite the broad clinical applications of BIAs, only a few types tend to accumulate easily in plants, limiting their medicinal potential.
[0003] To overcome this obstacle, utilizing microorganisms as bioreactors to produce BIAs has become the primary direction at present. However, BIA diversity originates from a single scaffold; the synthesis of BIAs in plants begins with the condensation of dopamine and 4-hydroxyphenylacetaldehyde (4-HPAA) to form (S)-norcoclaurine. (S)-norcoclaurine, as a scaffold, can produce over 2500 other BIAs, thus enabling the development of microbial platform strains that can generate BIA scaffolds from simple carbon sources, and further facilitate the engineered production of BIAs. Figure 1 ).
[0004] Currently, the commonly used microbial host for BIA heterologous synthesis is Escherichia coli (E. coli). Escherichia coli ) and brewer's yeast ( Saccharomyces cerevisiae There are very few research reports on the use of metabolic engineering to modify other hosts for fermentation production of BIA, and the yield of BIA needs to be improved.

[0020] Application of the above-mentioned benzyl isoquinoline alkaloid-producing Yersinia lipolytica strain in the fermentation production of (S)-norcodon and (S)-caryophylline.
[0021] Preferably, in the above application, (S)-norcodine is synthesized by shake-flask fermentation in YPD medium under aerobic conditions, according to the initial fermentation OD... 600 Yeast extracts Po1g N1-Po1g N6 were inoculated into YPD medium at an inoculum size of 0.1 g / L. The culture temperature was 30℃, the rotation speed was 220 rpm, and the culture time was 120 ± 5 h.
[0022] Samples were taken after 120 h of fermentation to detect the content of (S)-norcoguline. The (S)-norcoguline contents in the fermentation broths of strains Po1g N1-Po1g N6 (Po1g N1, Po1g N2, Po1g N3, Po1g N4, Po1g N5-1, Po1g N5-2 and Po1g N6) under shake-flask fermentation reached 111.3 μg / L, 155.1 μg / L, 465.9 μg / L, 1101.5 μg / L, 910 μg / L, 972.5 μg / L and 1193.9 μg / L, respectively.
[0023] Preferably, in the above application, (S)-Boscin is synthesized by shake-flask fermentation in YPD medium under aerobic conditions, according to the initial OD of fermentation. 600 Yeast extracts Po1g N7-Po1g N8 were inoculated into YPD medium at an inoculum size of 0.1 g / L. The culture temperature was 30℃, the rotation speed was 220 rpm, and the culture time was 120 ± 5 h.
[0024] Samples were taken after 120 h of fermentation to determine the content of (S)-horsenoside. The (S)-horsenoside content in the fermentation broth of strains Po1g N7 and Po1g N8 under shake-flask fermentation reached 1112.5 μg / L and 1332.5 μg / L, respectively.
[0025] Preferably, in the above application, the YPD culture medium is composed of: 10 g / L yeast extract, 20 g / L peptone, 20 g / L glucose, with the remainder being water, pH 5.7-5.8, sterilized at 115℃ for 20 min.
[0026] Preferably, in the above application, the pH during shake-flask fermentation is 4.
[0027] Dopamine is prone to spontaneous oxidation, and its instability causes the fermentation broth to gradually darken over time. Initially, dopamine reacts with oxygen to produce quinones and superoxide anions, which subsequently decompose into various reactive oxygen species (ROS). The quinone intermediates undergo intramolecular Michael addition (cyclization) to generate amino pigments. These amino pigments further polymerize to form dark neuromelanin polymers. Because *Yarrowia lipolytica* has a naturally high tolerance to acidic environments and a short fermentation cycle, the pH of the shake-flask fermentation was optimized to further reduce dopamine auto-oxidation. Fermentation tests were conducted on strain Po1g N8 at different pH gradients (pH=3, pH=4, pH=5, pH=6, pH=7). The final fermentation test results showed that the contents of (S)-caryophylline at pH=3, pH=4, pH=5, pH=6, and pH=7 were 1246.5 μg / L, 1528.5 μg / L, 890 μg / L, 825.9 μg / L, and 779.1 μg / L, respectively. Based on this, pH=4 was selected as the optimal pH value for the fermentation medium.
[0028] All of the above-mentioned culture media can be prepared using standard methods.
[0029] Beneficial effects: The aforementioned benzyl isoquinoline alkaloid-producing *Yersinia lipophila* strain was produced through heterologous expression of CYP76AD5, DODC, and NCS. 35, 6'OMT, CNMT, NMCH, 4'OMT, HPPD, COMT, ADH2, PAR4 genes are deleted, and ARO1, ARO2, and Aro4 are overexpressed. K221L Aro7 G139S The strain ultimately obtained from ARO10 has the potential to serve as a microbial cell factory for BIA production. It can de novo synthesize (S)-norcodine and (S)-caryophylline under aerobic conditions using YPD medium, and significantly improves their synthesis efficiency and yield. Specifically; (1) Through a series of overexpressions of the shikimic acid pathway and the removal of feedback inhibition, sufficient L-tyrosine was provided for the biosynthesis of alkaloids.
[0030] (2) By knocking out the HPPD gene, the production of important precursor substances of 4-HPAA is increased and the production of homogentisic acid (hypoxic acid) by the byproduct is reduced, providing sufficient 4-hydroxyphenylacetaldehyde (4-HPAA) for the production of (S)-norcodone.
[0031] (3) By knocking out the unique dopamine degradation gene COMT in Yersinia lipolytica, dopamine is further reduced during fermentation, providing more dopamine for the production of (S)-norcodone. Attached Figure Description

[0083] (2) Continuous subculturing: Pick a single colony and inoculate it into 5 mL of YPD medium. Incubate at 30℃ and 220 rpm for 12 h to complete one subculturing. Inoculate the bacterial solution from the first subculturing into 5 mL of YPD medium again at an inoculation rate of 1%. Incubate at 30℃ and 220 rpm for 12 h to complete the second generation. Repeat this process to complete 7 to 9 generations.
[0084] (3) Photocopying plates: Streak the last generation of bacterial culture on YPD plates. After single colonies grow, prepare hygromycin resistance plates and YPD plates. Draw corresponding squares on the two plates. First, spot the single colony on the resistance plate, and then spot the same colony on the YPD plate. Incubate at 30℃ for 16-24 hours.

PCR reaction conditions: 95℃ pre-denaturation for 5 min, 95℃ denaturation for 15 s, 55℃ annealing for 15 s, 72℃ extension for 1 min, 30 cycles followed by 72℃ extension for 10 min, and storage at 4℃. The pYLEX1-NMCH-ATR1-6'OMT-4'OMT-CNMT-4'OMT restriction enzyme fragment and the nat expression cassette assembly fragment were assembled using the Vazyme ClonExpress II OneStep Cloning Kit to construct the pYLEX1-NMCH-ATR1-6'OMT-4'OMT-CNMT-4'OMT-nat plasmid.
[0101] 4.2 The engineered strain Po1g N7 was constructed using the lithium acetate conversion method. The steps are as follows: (1) Using the method for preparing competent cells of Yersinia lipophila Po1gΔKU70 in 1.2, the engineered strain Po1g N6 was prepared into competent cells.
[0102] (2) After linearizing the pYLEX1-NMCH-ATR1-6'OMT-4'OMT-CNMT-4'OMT-nat plasmid obtained in step 4.1, the plasmid was purified and recovered. It was then transformed into competent cells of the engineered strain Po1g N6 using the lithium acetate conversion method, spread on YPD-nat plates, and inverted in a 30℃ incubator.
[0103] (3) After single bacteria have grown, recombinants were randomly selected and PCR verification was performed using the following primers (JP-ATR1-F (SEQ ID NO.84): CACCACCATTGACATCCACC, JP-CYNMCH-R (SEQ ID NO.85): TCATTTCGGCAGATCCTCCC, JP-4OMT-F (SEQ ID NO.86): AGACCCTCATTGAAGATTGC, JP-6OMT-R (SEQ ID NO.87): ACACTCATTGGCAAGAGCAG, JP-CNMT-F (SEQ ID NO.88): TGTTCGGAGCCAATAAATTC, JP-4OMT-R (SEQ ID NO.89): GCAATCTTCAATGAGGGTCT, JP-FSPAI-F (SEQ ID NO.90): TATCGGTGATTCATTCTGCT, JP-FSPAI-R (SEQ ID NO.91): AGAACATATCCATCGCGTCC). The resulting fragment size was 2100bp. Figure 7 As shown, the band size is consistent with the theoretical expectation, indicating that the target gene has been successfully integrated into the *Yersinia lipolytica* genome. Sequencing further verified whether the pYLEX1-NMCH-ATR1-6'OMT-4'OMT-CNMT-4'OMT-nat plasmid digestion fragment was integrated into the genome. The *Yersinia lipolytica* strain producing the benzyl isoquinoline alkaloid *Yersinia lipolytica* with the gene *NMCH-ATR1-6'OMT-4'OMT-CNMT-4'OMT-nat* was named Po1gN7, with the genotype Po1gΔKU70 NMCH-ATR1-6'OMT-4'OMT-CNMT-4'OMT-nat.
[0104] Example 5 Promoter engineering optimizes NMCH and ATR1 expression to increase (S)-oxheart alkaloid yield. 5.1 Construction of expression vector Following the same method as in 4.1, pYLEX1-6'OMT-4'OMT-CNMT-4'OMT was first constructed. Subsequently, Php4d-NMCH, Php4d-ATR1, Ptdh-NMCH, Ptdh-ATR1, Ptin-NMCH, and Ptin-ATR1 were constructed using the promoter plasmids Php4d, Ptdh, and Ptin stored in the laboratory. Six plasmids were combined and constructed into pYLEX1-6'OMT-4'OMT-CNMT-4'OMT to obtain nine plasmids: pYLEX1-6'OMT-4'OMT-CNMT-4'OMT-(Php4d-NMCH-Php4d-ATR1, Php4d-NMCH-Ptdh-ATR1, Php4d-NMCH-Ptin-ATR1, Ptdh-NMCH-Php4d-ATR1, Ptdh-NMCH-Ptdh-ATR1, Ptdh-NMCH-Ptin-ATR1, Ptin-NMCH-Php4d-ATR1, Ptin-NMCH-Ptdh-ATR1, Ptin-NMCH-Ptin-ATR1, Ptin-NMCH-Php4d-ATR1, Ptin-NMCH-Ptdh-ATR1, Ptin-NMCH-Ptin-ATR1). The nat expression cassette was then constructed into these nine plasmids using the same method as in method 4.1.
[0105] 5.2 The engineered strain Po1g N8 was constructed using the lithium acetate conversion method. The steps are as follows: (1) Using the method for preparing competent cells of Yersinia lipophila Po1gΔKU70 in 1.2, the engineered strain Po1g N6 was prepared into competent cells.
[0106] (2) After linearizing the nine plasmids obtained in step 5.1, the plasmids were purified and recovered, and transformed into competent cells of the engineered strain Po1g N6 using the lithium acetate conversion method. The plasmids were then spread on YPD-nat plates and inverted in a 30°C incubator.
[0107] (3) After single bacteria have grown, recombinants are randomly selected and PCR verification is performed using the following primers (JP-ATR1-F (SEQ ID NO.92): CACCACCATTGACATCCACC, JP-CYNMCH-R (SEQ ID NO.93): TCATTTCGGCAGATCCTCCC, JP-4OMT-F (SEQ ID NO.94): AGACCCTCATTGAAGATTGC, JP-6OMT-R (SEQ ID NO.95): ACACTCATTGGCAAGAGCAG, JP-CNMT-F (SEQ ID NO.96): TGTTCGGAGCCAATAAATTC, JP-4OMT-R (SEQ ID NO.97): GCAATCTTTCAATGAGGGTCT, JP-FSPAI-F (SEQ ID NO.98): TATCGGTGATTCATTCTGCT, JP-FSPAI-R (SEQ ID NO.99): AGACATATCCATCGCGTCC). The obtained fragment size was 2100 bp, and the band size was consistent with the theoretical expectation, indicating that the target gene was successfully integrated into the Yersinia lipophila genome.
[0108] To identify suitable promoters for expressing NMCH and ATR1, NMCH and ATR1 were expressed under three different promoter strengths: Php4d, Ptdh, and Ptin. Ultimately, the highest yield of (S)-oxocarpine was achieved under the Ptdh-ATR1 and Php4d-NMCH promoters.
[0109] Example 6 Fermentation detection of (S)-caryophylline and (S)-norcodonine in benzyl isoquinoline alkaloid-producing strains of Yersinia lipolytica. The benzyl isoquinoline alkaloid-producing strains of Yersinia lipophila are Po1g NOR, Po1g N1, Po1g N2, Po1g N3, Po1g N4, and Po1g N5.
[0110] Yersinia lipolyticis Po1g N1, Po1g N2, Po1g N3, Po1g N4, Po1g N5, Po1g N6, Po1g N7, and Po1g N8, preserved in cryogenic glycerol tubes, were streaked onto YPD solid plates and incubated at 30°C for 30 h.
[0111] Colonies of Po1g N1, Po1g N2, Po1g N3, Po1g N4, Po1g N5, Po1g N6, Po1g N7, and Po1g N8 grown on YPD solid plates were inoculated into test tubes containing 5 mL of YPD liquid medium (20 g / L peptone, 10 g / L yeast extract, and 20 g / L glucose) and incubated at 30°C with shaking at 220 rpm for 15 h to activate the culture.
[0112] Seed culture of any strain from the activated benzyl isoquinoline alkaloid-producing *Yarrowia lipolytica* strains Po1g P1-Po1g P9 was inoculated into 50 mL of YPD medium at a 1% inoculation rate and cultured at 30°C and 220 rpm for 15 h. Then, 1 mL of the bacterial culture was transferred to another 50 mL of YPD medium and fermented at 30°C and 220 rpm for 120 h. 5 mM ascorbic acid was added before fermentation to prevent alkaloid oxidation during fermentation.
[0113] Samples were taken after 120 hours of fermentation, and the absorbance of the bacterial solution was measured at a wavelength of 600 nm. Specifically, 1 mL of the bacterial solution was centrifuged at 12000 rpm for 2 minutes. The supernatant was discarded, and the solution was resuspended in an equal volume of ddH2O, diluted to a suitable factor of 2, and then the absorbance was measured using a spectrophotometer.
[0114] Methods for determining the content of (S)-caine and (S)-norcodine: Metabolites were extracted from the culture medium containing cells and growth medium. 7 μL of culture medium was mixed with 27 μL of 100% acetonitrile (ACN). After shaking for 5 minutes at room temperature, 146 μL of 0.123% formic acid was added to obtain a final concentration of 15% ACN and 0.1% formic acid.
[0115] For the separation and analysis of the processed samples, 5 μL was injected into a 1290 Infinity II LC system (Agilent Technologies) equipped with a Zorbax Rapid Resolution HT C18 column (100 × 2.1 mm, 1.8 μm; Agilent Technologies). Separation of (S)-norcodone was performed using 0.1% formic acid as solvent A and acetonitrile-0.1% formic acid as solvent B at a flow rate of 0.3 mL / min: 0–0.1 min, 7% B; 0.1–5 min, 10–20% B; 5–5.5 min, 20–90% BB; 5.5–7 min, 90% BB; 7–7.01 min, 7% BB; followed by equilibration in 7% solvent B for 3 min. To separate (S)-caesarein, the following method was used: 0–0.1 min, 7% B; 0.1–5 min, 10–35% B; 5–5.5 min, 35–90% B; 5.5–7 min, 90% B; 7–7.01 min, 7% B; followed by equilibration for 3 min in 7% solvent B. The system was operated in electrospray ionization (ESI+) mode with a fragmenter voltage of 150 V. The (S)-(S)-norcodine precursor ion [M+H]+ was observed and separated at m / z 272.1. Quantification was performed by monitoring the fragmentation of the precursor ion at m / z 107.049 by LC-MS / MS, with an m / z of 272.1. The (S)-(S)-caesarein precursor ion [M+H]+ was observed and separated at m / z 330.1. Quantification was performed by monitoring the fragmented precursor ion at an m / z of 137.058 (m / z 330.1) using LC-MS / MS. The quantitative LC-MS / MS data were analyzed using an Agilent MassHunter, and the integrated LC-MS / MS peak areas were calculated.
[0116] The final engineered strains Po1g N1, Po1g N2, Po1g N3, Po1g N4, Po1g N5, and Po1g N6 were fermented for 120 h according to the method described in Example 6. After fermentation, the synthesis of norcodine was detected according to the detection method described in Example 6. The final (S)-norcodine contents in the fermentation broths of Po1g N1, Po1g N2, Po1g N3, Po1g N4, Po1g N5, and Po1g N6 reached 111.3 μg / L, 155.1 μg / L, 465.9 μg / L, 1101.5 μg / L, 910 μg / L, 972.5 μg / L, and 1193.9 μg / L, respectively (see Example 6). Figure 3 , Figure 8 ).
[0117] The final engineered strains Po1g N7 and Po1g N8 were fermented for 120 h according to Example 6. After fermentation, the synthesis of sinomenine was detected according to the detection method in Example 6. The final (S)-sinomenine contents in the fermentation broths of Po1g N7 and Po1g N8 reached 1112.5 μg / L and 1332.5 μg / L, respectively (see Example 6). Figure 9 ).
[0118] Fermentation conditions for Po1g N8 were optimized by selecting different pH gradients in shake flasks (pH=3, 4, 5, 6, 7) for fermentation testing. The final fermentation results showed that the contents of (S)-caryophylline at pH=3, 1528.5 μg / L, 890 μg / L, 825.9 μg / L, and 779.1 μg / L, respectively. Based on this, pH=4 was selected as the optimal pH for the fermentation medium (see...). Figure 10 ).
