Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of biological metabolism, and in particular refers to a brewer's yeast strain with a composition similar to breast milk fat, and a construction method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Breast milk is the best food for infants and young children. It provides an ideal and balanced diet for infants and young children and can protect infants and prevent the occurrence of diseases. Breastfeeding is the best way to feed infants. However, due to some reasons, breast milk cannot be used for feeding. Infant formula milk powder suitable for infants with breast milk as the gold standard has become an ideal product to replace breast milk. The fatty acid composition and content in breast milk have always been a hot topic in related research. Infant formula milk powder is close to the composition of breast milk by adding or extracting certain components from animal and vegetable oils / milk fats. With the continuous deepening and refinement of research, animal and vegetable oils / milk fats can no longer meet people's needs due to their inherent composition and cannot be changed according to people's needs. There is great potential for industrial production strains to produce specific lipid compositions through genetic engineering, which can produce products that meet people's needs. At the same time, the use of genetic engineering methods to construct genetically engineered strains to synthesize products from scratch has many advantages, such as low cost, no restrictions on raw materials, simple extraction process, no seasonality, short production time, and little environmental pollution, which has attracted the favor of many scholars.

[0003] At present, animal milk and vegetable oil are mainly used to simulate breast milk fatty acids and their composition, which is largely constrained by the composition and time and space of animal milk and vegetable oil. Microbial fermentation has sustainable and green social and economic benefits. The use of microbial fermentation to produce breast milk-like fatty acid components is a method of synthesizing breast milk lipids with great potential. Due to the large difference between the fatty acid composition in microorganisms and breast milk, there are currently no reports on the use of microbial fermentation to synthesize strains with breast milk-like fatty acid composition using glucose as a substrate. Therefore, this study aims to construct a recombinant strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae that can synthesize breast milk-like fatty acid composition for metabolic modification.

[0004] Saccharomyces cerevisiae is also known as baker's yeast or budding yeast. Saccharomyces cerevisiae is the yeast with the widest relationship with humans. As a food safety strain, it has been used to make foods such as bread and steamed buns, and in the brewing industry. In recent years, scholars have begun to study the use of Saccharomyces cerevisiae to produce natural products, such as artemisinic acid and notoginseng saponins. Saccharomyces cerevisiae has the advantages of high safety, low pathogenicity, high stress resistance, and a low probability of phage contamination. Therefore, it also plays an important role in the field of genetic engineering. However, the fatty acid composition of Saccharomyces cerevisiae itself is quite different from that of breast milk. Summary of the invention

[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems and obtain an engineered strain for producing a fatty acid composition similar to that of breast milk, the present invention provides a strain that uses Cre / loxp technology to integrate a heterologous fatty acid desaturation metabolic pathway into brewer's yeast, and strengthens the related genes of the fatty acid synthesis pathway to achieve the effect of high production of fatty acids with a fatty acid composition similar to that of breast milk, so that the fatty acid composition produced by brewer's yeast is close to that of breast milk, mainly in the ratio of C16:0, C18:1 and C18:2.

[0006] The first purpose of the present invention is to provide an engineered Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain having a composition similar to breast milk fat. The engineered Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain uses Saccharomyces cerevisiae as a host strain, knocks out its own natural fatty acid desaturase and integrates and expresses heterologous fatty acid desaturase into the host strain, while strengthening the synthesis pathway of acetyl-CoA, a precursor of fatty acid synthesis, to obtain the engineered Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain.

[0007] In one embodiment of the present invention, the host bacteria is selected from S.cerevisiae CEN PK2-1CMATa; ura3-52; trp1-289; leu2-3,112; his3-Δ1; MAL2-8C; SUC2; S.cerevisiae W303 MATa; ura3-1; trp1-Δ1; leu2-3,112; his3-11; ade2-1; can1-100; S.cerevisiae FY1679 MATa; ura3-52; trp1-Δ63; leu2-Δ1; his3-Δ200; GAL2 and S.cerevisiae BY4743 MATa; ura3-Δ0; met15-Δ0; leu2-Δ0; his3-Δ1; lys-Δ0.

[0008] In one embodiment of the present invention, the key enzymes in the synthesis pathway of the heterologous fatty acid desaturase include the Rust desaturase OLE1, the Caenorhabditis elegans desaturases fat-2, fat-5, fat-6 and fat-7, and the Yarrowia desaturase FAD2.

[0009] In one embodiment of the present invention, the ENTREZ GENE ID of the Rust desaturase OLE1 is 10534674; the ENTREZ GENE ID of the Caenorhabditis elegans desaturase fat-2 gene is 178293, the ENTREZ GENE ID of the fat-5 gene is 180162, the ENTREZ GENE ID of the fat-6 gene is 178122, and the ENTREZ GENE ID of the fat-7 gene is 179100; and the ENTREZ GENE ID of the Yarrowia desaturase FAD2 is 2906773.

[0010] In one embodiment of the present invention, the strengthening of the fatty acid synthesis precursor acetyl-CoA synthesis pathway is: increasing the copy number of ADH2, ACS1, ALD6 genes, and knocking out ADH1, ACH1, MLS1 genes.

[0011] In one embodiment of the present invention, the ENTREZGENE IDs of the ADH2, ACS1, ALD6, ADH1, ACH1, and MLS1 genes are 855349, 851245, 856044, 854068, 852266, and 855606, respectively.

[0012] In one embodiment of the present invention, the oleic acid synthesis pathway: amplify the ELO1 gene (ENTREZ GENE ID is 853243) expression frame and insert it into the 208a site to increase the copy number of the fatty acid elongase ELO1 gene.

[0013] The second object of the present invention is to provide the use of the engineered yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae in the fermentation production of breast milk-like fat.

[0014] In one embodiment of the present invention, the step of fermenting and producing breast milk-like fat is as follows: inoculating the engineered bacteria of Saccharomyces cerevisiae into a fermentation medium, and fermenting at a pH of 6.0-8.0 to obtain the breast milk-like fat.

[0015] In one embodiment of the present invention, the fermentation conditions are: fermentation temperature is 20-30°C, fermentation time is 72-120h, and stirring speed is 220rpm.

[0016] In one embodiment of the present invention, the fermentation medium is a carbon source and amino nitrogen source-free sterile medium, a nitrogen source-limited YPD sterile medium, an inorganic salt sterile medium, or a nitrogen source-limited soy peptone sterile medium.

[0017] In one embodiment of the present invention, the culture medium uses glucose as the carbon source.

[0018] In one embodiment of the present invention, the inoculation rate of the engineered yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae is 2% to 5%.

[0019] In order to synthesize breast milk-like fatty acid components in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the present invention provides a Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain that synthesizes breast milk-like fat composition and a construction method thereof. The present invention first replaces the ADH1 gene of Saccharomyces cerevisiae with the ADH2 gene integration frame in the CEN PK2-1C Saccharomyces cerevisiae starting strain to obtain the fatty acid synthesis strain FAS-1; using FAS-1 as the starting strain, the ACS1 gene integration frame replaces the ACH1 gene in the genome to obtain the fatty acid synthesis strain FAS-2; using FAS-2 as the starting strain, the ALD6 gene integration frame replaces the MLS1 gene to obtain the fatty acid production strain FAS-3; inserting the ELO1 gene integration frame into the 208a site of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae chromosome to obtain the fatty acid synthesis strain FAS-4. In order to verify the effects of different insertion sites on gene expression and the changes in the fatty acid composition of the strain, the present invention uses FAS-4 as the starting strain, and inserts the Δ9 desaturase genes OLE1, fat-5, fat-6 and fat-7 into Saccharomyces cerevisiae YGL055W, respectively, to obtain the oleic acid high-yield strains FAS-5 to 8, respectively. Among them, the strain with the highest oleic acid content was FAS-5, so FAS-5 was used as the starting strain, and the Δ12 desaturase genes FAD2 and fat-2 were inserted into the 911b site of Saccharomyces cerevisiae to obtain the breast milk-like fatty acid synthesis strains FAS-9 and FAS-10. The results showed that the fatty acid composition of the recombinant strains expressing the heterologous gene OLE1-FAD2 combination was similar to that of breast milk, C16:0 (20% ± 2%), C18:1 (50% ± 3.8%) and C18:2 (20% ± 4%).

[0020] The above technical solution of the present invention has the following advantages compared with the prior art:
