Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of bioengineering, and particularly relates to an engineered yeast strain for expressing cytochrome P450 and application thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Cytochrome P450 enzymes (P450) are a superfamily of heme enzymes with cysteine as the axial ligand, which widely exist in animals, plants and microorganisms. Due to the multiple biological catalytic activities such as hydroxylation, epoxidation, dealkylation and dehalogenation, P450 enzymes play an important role in the synthesis of plant natural products. And since most eukaryotic P450 enzymes are membrane proteins located in the endoplasmic reticulum, it is difficult to express them heterologously, which often becomes the rate-limiting step for the synthesis of plant natural products. Due to its unique advantages, especially the post-translational modification ability and the existence of the inner membrane system, Saccharomyces cerevisiae is one of the preferred hosts for heterologous expression of P450 enzymes and synthesis of natural products. Although a variety of P450 enzymes have been successfully expressed in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, for example, the application with the publication number CN106987533A discloses a method for constructing an engineered Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain capable of synthesizing glycyrrhetinic acid. The β-amyrin synthase gene GgbAS, cytochrome P450 oxidase genes CYP88D6 and CYP72A154 derived from Pachysandra glabra, and cytochrome P450 oxidoreductase genes CPR1 and CPR2 derived from Arabidopsis thaliana are respectively constructed to form gene expression cassettes, and then the gene expression cassettes are co-transformed into Saccharomyces cerevisiae CEN.PK2-1C. The yeast homologous recombination ability is used to assemble an engineered Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain with complete glycyrrhetinic acid biosynthetic pathway, realizing the artificial synthesis of glycyrrhetinic acid in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

[0003] However, how to improve the expression level and activity of P450 enzymes in yeast cells still faces great challenges. In recent years, researchers have used various strategies to improve the functional expression of P450 enzymes in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, including using codon optimization or N-terminal sequence modification to improve P450 expression level, molecular modification of P450 enzymes through protein engineering, co-expression of P450 enzymes and CPR, combination optimization of P450-CPR pairs, and construction of yeast chassis cells that can improve the expression and folding microenvironment of P450 enzymes. However, these strategies are limited to specific P450 enzymes, lack of universality, and thus there is still great uncertainty in the efficient and active expression of P450 enzymes in Saccharomyces cerevisiae (Jiang L., Huang L., Cai J., et al. (2021). Functional expression of eukaryotic cytochrome P450s in yeast. Biotechnol. Bioeng. 118, 1050-1065.). Therefore, it is necessary to develop a universal method to construct an engineered yeast strain to improve the functional expression of P450 enzymes in yeast.

[0004] Saccharomyces cerevisiae has a complex inner membrane system and metabolic regulation network, and has strong plasticity. It is speculated that by multi-mode regulation (up-regulation, down-regulation and knockout) of more than 6000 genes in the whole genome of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the intracellular microenvironment can be adjusted, which in turn helps the functional expression of P450 enzymes in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

[0029] Embodiment 1: A method for constructing a Saccharomyces cerevisiae platform strain for high-throughput screening of target points for improving the functional expression of P450 enzymes using a MAGIC multifunctional library

[0030] 1. A betalain biosensor yeast strain comprising the following steps:

[0031] Starting from Saccharomyces cerevisiae BY4741, a MAGIC tri-functional Cas protein was integrated for subsequent gene regulation (Lian J, et al. (2017) Combinatorial metabolic engineering using an orthogonal tri-functional CRISPR system. Nat Commun., 8(1): 1-9.), and then the betalain synthesis pathway genes CYP76AD1 and DOD were integrated into the genome to construct a betalain-producing yeast strain. The GenBank numbers of the CYP76AD1 gene sequence and the DOD gene sequence are KU644144.1 and KM502867.1, respectively. Betalains are yellow and fluorescent (excitation wavelength of 498 nm and emission wavelength of 533 nm), and high-throughput screening can be performed by flow cytometry through the enhancement of color and fluorescence.

[0032] 2. Screening of MAGIC whole genome targets for improving the expression of P450 (CYP76AD1), which comprises the following steps:

[0033] When using the MAGIC library (Lian J et al. (2019) Multi-functional genome-wide CRISPR system for high throughput genotype-phenotype mapping. Nat Commun., 10(1): 5794.) for whole genome evolution, first, the three plasmid libraries p416-gsLibA, p416-gsLibI and p416-gsLibD of the MAGIC were respectively transformed into the above-constructed betalain biosensor strain, and after the completion of yeast transformation, 0.5% of the cells were spread on SED-URA / G418 plates to calculate the transformation efficiency (the total number of each transformation should reach about 10 6 After overnight culture, the remaining cells were transferred to a new 50 mL SED-URA / G418 shake flask for culture. When the strain grew to the logarithmic growth phase, 1 ml of bacterial cells was collected, washed twice with 1M pH 7.5 PBS buffer, and an appropriate amount of PBS buffer was taken to dilute the cell liquid to 1×10 5~1 x 10 6 cells / ml, and then loaded into a flow cytometry sorter (BD, FACS Melody), in which the 488 nm laser tube channel was selected according to the fluorescence properties of betalain. The fluorescence intensity of the top 2% of cells was collected in SED-URA / G418 test tubes and recovered overnight on a shaker (30°C, 250 rpm). After recovery, an appropriate amount of cell liquid was spread on SED-URA / G418 plates, and high-throughput screening was performed using the color change of the colonies in the plates. The colonies with a clear color change were selected and inoculated in 96-well plates containing SED-URA / G418 medium for 24 h. Then, the seed liquid in the 96-well plates was transferred to new 96-well plates containing SED-URA / G418 medium at an initial OD600 of 0.1, and the cells in the logarithmic phase were collected for fluorescence intensity detection. Subsequently, the plasmids of the colonies with significantly increased fluorescence intensity were sequenced and extracted, and the extracted plasmids were transferred into DH5a for amplification. Finally, the amplified plasmids were extracted and transferred back into the sensor strain for verification, in order to screen for target points that can improve the expression of CYP76AD1 in yeast and increase the production of betalain Figure 1

[0034] Using a betalain biosensor yeast strain and a MAGIC whole genome library, and using flow sorting Figure 2 and double screening of colony color, a total of 25 target points that can improve the accumulation of betalain in S. cerevisiae to different extents were screened in the first round of MAGIC whole genome evolution, as shown in Figure 3 Table 2 and Table 3. Among them, the target points with the highest betalain yield improvement multiples were 10-32, 10-62, 12-75 and 10-44, which were inhibitory gRNAs targeting genes MAC1, DOA1, BRO1 and CYC8, respectively. Compared with the starting betalain biosensor strain, these target points increased the yield of betalain by 3.02, 2.61, 2.59 and 2.39 times, respectively. In addition, target points 5-38, 8-58, 10-9, 10-10, 10-77, 12-19, 12-69, 17-58 and 25-15 all increased the accumulation of betalain by more than 1.5 times.

[0038]

[0039] Based on the results of the first round of MAGIC whole genome evolution screening, a second round of iterative screening was carried out to further improve the functional expression of P450 enzymes in S. cerevisiae and obtain more general target points that can improve the cell microenvironment for the expression and folding of P450 enzymes. The gRNA (SpSg-CYC8) expression frame that inhibits the expression of CYC8 gene in target points 10-44 was selected and integrated into the sensor strain to construct the starting strain for the second round of MAGIC whole genome evolution. After the MAGIC plasmid library was again introduced into the starting strain, iterative whole genome evolution and target screening were again carried out according to the process of the first round of whole genome evolution screening, and the results are shown in Figure 4 As shown, compared with the control strain, 22 target points were further screened to improve the production of betalain in different degrees, and the target point information is shown in Table 4, and the target gRNA sequence is shown in Table 5. Among them, the highest yield of several target points is 25-15, 30-7, 31-7 and 33-72, which further improves the accumulation of betalain in S. cerevisiae by 2.62, 2.7, 2.23 and 2.53 times, respectively. Among them, target points 25-15 and 31-7 are transcriptional inhibition gRNAs targeting CUE1 gene, 25-15 has been identified as a target point in the first round of screening, and 31-7 is an inhibition gRNA targeting CUE1 gene identified in the second round. In addition, target points 10-5, 10-9, 30-61, 31-47, 31-65, 32-20, 33-8 and 34-40 further improve the yield of betalain by more than 1.5 times, which are inhibition gRNAs targeting genes GET3, BUG1, VPS41, GET2, MNP1, BUG1, SSM4 and INO2, respectively.

Among the target points screened in the second round of the MAGIC whole genome evolution screening, 12 target points could further increase the production of Z-a-santalol based on the target point 10-44 (SpSg-CYC8), among which the target points 31-24 (targeting GET2), 31-47 (targeting GET2) and 33-24 (targeting NAP1) further increased the accumulation of Z-a-santalol by 1.37, 1.42 and 1.37 times, respectively.

[0053] Starting from the BY4741-AID6 constructed in Application Example 1, AtCPR1, T16H2 (tabersonine-16-hydroxylase 2), 16OMT (16-hydroxytabersonine-O-methyltransferase), T3O (tabersonine-3-oxidase), T3R (tabersonine-3-reductase), NMT (3-hydroxy-16-methyl-2,3-dihydrotabersonine-N-methyltransferase), D4H (deacetoxyventilidine-4-hydroxylase) and DAT (deacetoxyventilidine-4-O-acetyltransferase) genes were integrated into the genome, and the GenBank numbers of the AtCPR1, T16H2, 16OMT, T3O, T3R, NMT, D4H and DAT genes were NM_001203894.1, JF742645.1, EF444544.1, KP122967.1, KP122966.1, HM584929.1, U71605.1 and AF053307.1, respectively, to construct a ventilidine-producing strain; then several target points 10-44 (targeting CYC8), 25-47 (targeting SPF1), 31-24 (targeting GET2), 31-47 (targeting GET2) and 33-24 (targeting NAP1) with better effects were introduced into the strain to further verify the influence of these target points on the expression of P450 enzymes in the ventilidine synthesis pathway.

[0054] As shown in Table 6, compared with the control strain, the transcriptional inhibition gRNAs targeting CYC8, SIT4, GET2, TCO89, AMN1 and SPF1, i.e. target points 10-44, 10-65, 10-77, 12-19, 18-10 and 25-47, increased the production of Z-a-santalol by 2.05, 1.16, 1.26, 1.32, 1.17 and 1.52 times, respectively. Among the target points screened in the second round of the MAGIC whole genome evolution screening, 12 target points could further increase the production of Z-a-santalol based on the target point 10-44 (SpSg-CYC8), among which the target points 31-24 (targeting GET2), 31-47 (targeting GET2) and 33-24 (targeting NAP1) further increased the accumulation of Z-a-santalol by 1.37, 1.42 and 1.37 times, respectively. Figure 7As shown, multiple targets can improve the yield of vindoline. Among them, when the target 10-44 (targeting CYC8) is expressed alone, the yield of vindoline can be increased by 1.16 times, which is slightly lower than 1.2 times of the OPI1 knockout strain (OPI1 knockout strain is widely used to improve the activity expression of P450 enzyme in yeast intracellular). But on the basis of targeting CYC8, the expression of target points 25-47 (targeting SPF1), 31-24 (targeting GET2), 31-47 (targeting GET2) and 33-24 (targeting NAP1) is further increased, and the yield of vindoline is increased by 1.36, 1.38, 1.64 and 1.22 times respectively than the starting strain, which is higher than the OPI1 knockout strain. It is proved that the functional expression of P450 in vindoline synthesis pathway is further enhanced.

[0055] Application Example 4: Screening of target points by MAGIC whole genome evolution to affect the functional expression of P450 cobave alkaloid synthase (CFS)

[0056] The cobave alkaloid synthesis strain catalyzed by P450 cobave alkaloid synthase (CFS) is selected to verify the universality of the microenvironment reconstruction target points screened. In this application example, the substrate flavosvine by P450 enzyme CFS is catalyzed to synthesize cobave alkaloid in a single step. Based on the BY4741-AID6 constructed in application example 1, the cobave alkaloid synthase gene (CFS) is integrated into the genome to construct a cobave alkaloid producing strain, and the GenBank number of CFS gene is AB434654; then the best co-acting target points 10-44 (targeting CYC8) and 31-47 (targeting GET2) are introduced into the strain to further verify the effect of intracellular microenvironment reconstruction target points on the expression of P450 enzyme in cobave alkaloid synthesis pathway. The substrate flavosvine of cobave alkaloid synthase is added in the fermentation medium, and the synthesis level of product cobave alkaloid is detected by LC-MS after fermentation. As shown in Figure 8 As shown, the test target points can improve the yield of cobave alkaloid. Compared with the control strain, the yield of cobave alkaloid is increased by 1.83 times when the target points 10-44 (targeting CYC8) and 31-47 (targeting GET2) are expressed at the same time. It is proved that the microenvironment reconstruction target points improve the functional expression of P450 cobave alkaloid synthase.

[0057] Application Example 5: Screening of target points by MAGIC whole genome evolution to affect the functional expression of P450 stipulatine synthase (SPS)

[0058] A strain catalyzing the synthesis of stipulatine by P450 stipulatine synthase (SPS) is selected to verify the universality of the screened microenvironment remodeling targets. In this application example, the substrate scoulerine is catalyzed by P450 enzyme CFS to synthesize stipulatine in one step. Starting from the BY4741-AID6 constructed in application example 1, the stipulatine synthase gene (SPS) is integrated into the genome to construct a stipulatine-producing strain, and the GenBank number of the SPS gene is EU882969. Then the best co-acting targets 10-44 (targeting CYC8) and 31-47 (targeting GET2) are introduced into the strain to further verify the effect of the intracellular microenvironment remodeling targets on the expression of P450 enzyme in the stipulatine synthesis pathway. The substrate scoulerine of stipulatine synthase is added in the fermentation medium, and after fermentation, the synthesis level of the product stipulatine is detected by LCMS. As shown in Figure 9 , the test targets can improve the yield of stipulatine. Compared with the control strain, when the targets 10-44 (targeting CYC8) and 31-47 (targeting GET2) are expressed at the same time, the yield of stipulatine is increased by 2.11 times. It is shown that the microenvironment remodeling targets improve the functional expression of P450 stipulatine synthase.
