Abstract
Description
(I)TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to a recombinant genetically engineered bacterium producing L-homoserine and a construction method thereof, and application of the recombinant genetically engineered bacterium in microbial fermentation for preparing L-homoserine. (II)BACKGROUND
[0002] Homoserine is also known as 2-amino-4-hydroxybutyric acid, and is divided into two isomers of L-homoserine and D-homoserine, and belongs to the L-aspartate family of non-protein amino acids. L-homoserine and its derivatives are precursors for synthesizing essential amino acids L-threonine, L-methionine and L-isoleucine. L-homoserine and its derivatives are precursors for synthesizing L-methionine, and are also platform compounds for synthesizing various C4 compounds (isobutanol, gamma-butyrolactone, 1,4-butanediol, 2,4-dihydroxybutyric acid) and L-glufosinate. In the reported synthesis routes of L-homoserine and its derivatives, the chemical method is limited in development due to factors such as high price of reagents used in the reaction process, long reaction time or complicated purification steps. The enzyme catalysis method uses pyruvic acid and formaldehyde to generate homoserine under the joint action of acetalase and L-amino acid dehydrogenase. The formaldehyde required by the process is toxic, and the price of coenzyme is expensive. The microbial fermentation method has the advantages of green and efficient, and cheap and easily available substrate, and is concerned by people.
[0003] With the continuous understanding of microbial metabolic process and the continuous development of metabolic modification technology (systematic metabolic engineering, synthetic biology, promoter engineering, protein engineering and transcriptome and metabolome), it has broad production and application prospects to use cheap glucose as a carbon source to produce various high-value products including L-homoserine. However, due to the physiological characteristics of wild-type Escherichia coli, the L-homoserine synthesized in the Escherichia coli cells can only meet the needs of its own growth and cannot be accumulated in large quantities, so it is necessary to rationally modify the synthesis pathway of L-homoserine and construct a stable and efficient cell factory. The strain with high yield of L-homoserine can be obtained by genetic engineering and metabolic engineering strategies. However, in the process of constructing the genetically engineered bacteria, the correlation between different metabolic pathways needs to be considered, and the metabolic flux of the target product should not affect the normal growth of the cells, so rational metabolic engineering modification needs to be carried out from multiple angles. At present, there are still some deficiencies in the process of producing L-homoserine and its derivatives by biological method, such as low fermentation yield or low sugar acid conversion rate. Therefore, it is still a great challenge to construct an efficient microbial cell factory for producing L-homoserine and its derivatives. (III)SUMMARY
[0004] The present application aims to provide a recombinant genetically engineered bacterium producing L-homoserine and a construction method thereof, and application of the recombinant genetically engineered bacterium in microbial fermentation for preparing L-homoserine.
[0005] The technical scheme adopted by the present application is:
[0006] The recombinant genetically engineered bacteria for producing L-homoserine are obtained by the following method: taking strain E. coli W3110 (Trc-panD Trc-ppC Trc-aspC ΔpykA ΔcycA) (denoted as strain HS1) as a chassis strain, back-supplementing the original promoter of the panD gene, relieving the feedback inhibition of the thrA gene (thrA * ), knocking out the pcK gene, the thrB gene and the metA gene, replacing the promoters of the ppC gene, the nadK gene, the rhtA gene and the metL gene into the promoter Trc respectively, over-expressing thrA * , ppC and rhtA at the fliK, ompT and ylbE pseudogene sites in the E. coli W3110 genome, over-expressing thrA * and aspB (cg) genes on the plasmid pTrc99a, constructing the plasmid pTrc99a-thrA * -aspB (cg) , and transforming the aforementioned strain to obtain the recombinant genetically engineered bacteria for producing L-homoserine.
[0007] The present application reengineers the L-homoserine synthesis network of E. coli, relieves the feedback inhibition of the aspartate kinase / homoserine dehydrogenase I encoded by thrA, overcomes the deficiency of the activity of the aspartate kinase / homoserine dehydrogenase I encoded by thrA in the original strain due to the feedback inhibition, enables aspartate to successfully synthesize L-homoserine, increases the flux of aspartate converted into L-homoserine, and constructs the strain HS3; by strengthening the L-threonine / L-homoserine exporter gene rhtA, the intracellular concentration of L-homoserine is reduced, thereby increasing the concentration of L-homoserine in the fermentation broth, and the strain HS4 is constructed; by over-expressing thrA *Strain HS5 was constructed by enhancing the aspartate to L-homoserine synthesis pathway by replacing the original metL promoter of the L-homoserine synthesis pathway with the Trc promoter, thereby increasing the carbon flux in the L-homoserine synthesis pathway. Strain HS6 was constructed by overexpressing the ppC gene encoding phosphoenolpyruvate decarboxylase to enhance the metabolic flux of phosphoenolpyruvate to oxaloacetate, thus increasing the production of L-homoserine. Strain HS7 was constructed by overexpressing the ppC gene encoding phosphoenolpyruvate decarboxylase to enhance the metabolic flux of phosphoenolpyruvate to oxaloacetate, thus increasing the precursor supply for aspartate synthesis. Strain HS8 was constructed by knocking out pcK to reduce the reversible reaction of oxaloacetate to phosphoenolpyruvate, thereby better accumulating the precursor oxaloacetate of aspartate. The L-threonine / L-homoserine efflux protein gene rhtA was expressed to further enhance the efflux of L-homoserine, thereby improving the accumulation of the target product L-homoserine, and strain HS9 was constructed. Strain HS11 was constructed by knocking out the carbon flux of the competitive pathways of threonine and O-succinylhomoserine, i.e., knocking out thrB and metA to reduce the synthesis of threonine and O-succinylhomoserine in the competitive pathways, thereby increasing the carbon flux in the L-homoserine synthesis direction. Strain HS12 was constructed by knocking out the acetate production pathway, i.e., knocking out poxB to reduce carbon loss. Subsequently, the original promoter of the nadK gene was replaced with the Trc promoter to improve the availability of intracellular NADPH, providing sufficient NADPH for the L-homoserine synthesis pathway, and strain HS13 was constructed. Finally, thrA, which relieves feedback inhibition, was overexpressed on plasmid pTrc99a. * Genes and aspB derived from Corynebacterium glutamicum (cg) Genes were used to maximize the production of L-homoserine, and plasmid pTrc99a-thrA was constructed. * -aspB (cg) The strain was then transformed into strain HS13, resulting in the strain: E. coli W3110Trc-ppCTrc-aspCΔpykAΔcycAthra*Trc-rhtAΔfliK::Trc-thrA*Trc-metLΔompT::Trc-ppCΔpcKΔylbE::Trc-rhtAΔthrBΔmetAΔpoxB Trc-nadK / pTrc99a-thrA*-aspB (cg) The strain was named HS13-A. It overcomes the problem of insufficient expression of key genes in the genome, maximizes the carbon flow towards the synthesis of L-homoserine, and increases the yield of L-homoserine.

Additional 2mol NADPH is needed to ensure that the enzyme converting L-aspartate into L-homoserine has sufficient reducing power, and strengthening nadK can increase the availability of NADPH, which can effectively improve the production of L-homoserine. After strengthening nadK, the yield of L-homoserine is obviously improved, and the yield of L-homoserine is increased by 24%. pcK encodes phosphoenolpyruvate kinase, and knockout pcK can block the anaplerotic pathway, reduce the carbon loss of the anaplerotic pathway, effectively accumulate aspartate precursor oxaloacetate, and activate the glyoxylate cycle. After knocking out pcK, the yield of L-homoserine is increased by 20%.

[0111] (4) The constructed strains HS8-A and HS13-A were verified in fermentation medium, and strains HS7-A and HS12-A were used as control strains. Four single colonies were respectively picked into LB test tube medium, and cultured at 37°C, 180 rpm overnight to prepare seed liquid. 1 mL seed liquid was inoculated into a 500 mL shake flask containing 20 mL fermentation medium, and cultured at 30°C, 180 rpm until OD 600 = 0.5, and 0.2 mM IPTG was added to a final concentration, and the culture was cultured at 30°C, 180 rpm for 48 h. After fermentation, 1 mL fermentation liquid was centrifuged at 12000 rpm for 3 min, and all supernatant was discarded. 1 mL distilled water was added to resuspend the bacteria and calcium carbonate, and the mixture was centrifuged at 12000 rpm for 3 min to discard the supernatant. 1 mL distilled water was added again to resuspend the bacteria and calcium carbonate, and the mixture was centrifuged at 12000 rpm for 3 min to discard the supernatant. Finally, 800 μL distilled water was added to resuspend the bacteria and calcium carbonate, and 200 μL acetic acid aqueous solution with a volume concentration of 20% was added. The mixture was placed at room temperature for 5 min to dissolve the calcium carbonate. 50 μL bacteria liquid in which calcium carbonate was dissolved was added to 1950 μL distilled water to dilute 40 times, and the biomass OD 600 was determined by spectrophotometer. The method of Example 1 was used, and 1 mL fermentation liquid was centrifuged at 12000 rpm for 3 min. 100 μL supernatant was added to 900 μL deionized water to dilute 10 times. 100 μL diluted sample was taken, 500 μL boric acid buffer and 300 μL CNBF solution were added, and the mixture was incubated at 60°C, 400 rpm for 60 min. The membrane was passed, and the content of L-homoserine was detected. The biomass OD 600 and the content of L-homoserine are shown in Table 1. Figure 1 The biomass OD 600 of strain HS7-A was 23, and the content of L-homoserine was 6.5 g / L. The biomass OD 600 of strain HS8-A was 22.7, and the content of L-homoserine was 7.8 g / L. The biomass OD 600 of strain HS12-A was 14.11, and the content of L-homoserine was 11.5 g / L. The biomass OD 600 of strain HS13-A was 15.62, and the content of L-homoserine was 14.2 g / L.
[0112] LB medium: 10 g / L peptone, 5 g / L yeast extract, 10 g / L NaCl, dissolved in deionized water, and the pH value is natural.

[0114] By Figure 1 It can be seen that, compared with strain HS7-A, the yield of L-homoserine of strain HS8-A is increased from 6.5 g / L to 7.8 g / L, and the yield of L-homoserine is increased by 20%, so it can be seen that increasing the supply of NADPH can effectively improve the synthesis of L-homoserine. Compared with strain HS12-A, the yield of L-homoserine of strain HS13-A is increased from 11.5 g / L to 14.2 g / L, and the yield of L-homoserine is increased by 24%, so it can be seen that increasing the supply of NADPH can effectively improve the synthesis of L-homoserine.

[0116] The strains in Example 5 were streaked onto LB plates containing 50 mg / L kanamycin and incubated at 37°C overnight. Single colonies were picked into LB test tubes containing 50 mg / L kanamycin and incubated at 37°C, 150 rpm overnight to prepare seed liquid. The seed liquid was inoculated into 100 mL LB medium at a volume concentration of 5%, and incubated at 37°C, 150 rpm overnight to prepare secondary seed liquid. The secondary seed liquid was inoculated into a 5-L fermenter containing 2 L of fermentation medium at a volume concentration of 15%, and 0.2 mM IPTG was added. The fermentation culture was carried out at 30°C, 500 rpm, and aeration rate of 0.5 V / V·min. When the pH value was higher than 6.80 (the initial sugar in the fermenter was consumed), the automatic feeding was started, and the feeding medium was added at a rate of 25 mL / h until the pH value was lower than 6.80. The residual sugar in the fermenter was maintained at a low level, and the sugar concentration was maintained at 3 g / L. The total amount of feeding medium added was 800 mL, and the culture was carried out for 117 h. The yield of L-homoserine in the fermentation broth was detected by the high performance liquid chromatography method of Example 1, the biomass OD 600 was detected by spectrophotometry, and the sugar concentration was detected by DNS method; the yield of L-homoserine after 117 h was 69 g / L, and the final biomass OD 600The fermentation results show that the L-homoserine production strain with metabolic engineering has good production performance, and no accumulation of other amino acids is detected in the fermentation broth, which lays a foundation for industrial production of L-homoserine.
