Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to an FDH-GDH fusion protein, its encoding gene, and an FDH-GDH co-evolution system and method. Background Technology

[0002] 1,3-Dihydroxyacetone (DHA) is the simplest ketose, chemically reactive, and an important chemical and pharmaceutical intermediate widely used in chemical, pharmaceutical, and food industries, with broad market prospects. The main methods for DHA synthesis are chemical synthesis and microbial fermentation. Traditional chemical synthesis uses heavy metal atoms as active ingredients, requires very strict reaction conditions, consumes a large amount of energy, has low catalytic activity, and causes serious environmental pollution. In other words, chemical synthesis suffers from high raw material costs, harsh reaction conditions, demanding production equipment, low product yield, and environmental pollution. Microbial fermentation, on the other hand, utilizes biological enzymes to catalyze the production of DHA. This method uses glycerol as a substrate and utilizes glycerol dehydrogenase produced during microbial metabolism to dehydrogenate the hydroxyl group at the 2-position of glycerol, producing DHA. Therefore, compared with chemical synthesis, biotransformation has advantages such as milder reaction conditions, higher reaction specificity, less environmental pollution, higher substrate utilization, and higher catalytic efficiency.

[0003] Existing microbial conversion of glycerol to DHA production generally suffers from inhibitory effects of substrates and products on the producing strains, resulting in reduced conversion rates and prolonged production cycles when glycerol concentrations are increased, thus making it difficult to improve DHA yield. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The main objective of this invention is to provide a method for using glycerol dehydrogenase and CO2 reductase in combination, which converts glycerol into 1,3-dihydroxyacetone while fixing CO2 to produce formic acid.

[0005] The technical solution adopted in this invention is as follows:

[0006] An FDH-GDH fusion protein comprising a first amino acid sequence having CO2 reductase activity and a second amino acid sequence having glycerol dehydrogenase activity, wherein the first amino acid sequence and the second amino acid sequence are linked by a linker peptide.

[0007] Preferably, the linker peptide is (GGGGS)3, (GS)3, or (EAAAK)3.

[0008] Preferably, the first amino acid sequence is shown in SEQ ID No. 5, and the second amino acid sequence is shown in SEQ ID No. 7.

[0009] Preferably, the amino acid sequence of the fusion protein is shown in SEQ ID No. 13.

[0010] The present invention also discloses the encoding gene of the above-mentioned FDH-GDH fusion protein.

[0011] Preferably, its nucleotide sequence is shown in SEQ ID No. 12.

[0012] Preferably, its nucleotide sequence is shown in SEQ ID No. 14.

[0013] Preferably, the vector contains the FDH-GDH fusion protein encoding gene described above, as well as the encoding gene of the surface display system.

[0014] Preferably, the carrier is pET28a, and the surface display system adopts Lpp-OmpA or IN3 surface display system.

[0015] The present invention also discloses an engineered bacterium for surface display of FDH-GDH fusion protein, characterized in that it contains the above-mentioned fusion protein expression vector.

[0016] Preferably, the engineered bacteria is Escherichia coli.

[0017] The above-mentioned FDH-GDH fusion protein surface demonstrates the application of engineered bacteria in the catalytic synthesis of 1,3-dihydroxyacetone.

[0018] This invention also discloses an FDH-GDH co-evolutionary system, characterized by comprising:

[0019] (1) A formic acid biosensor, wherein the formic acid biosensor encodes the FHLA gene and the Kana resistance gene, and uses a regulated promoter to initiate the expression of the FHLA gene, the FHLA promoter regulating the expression of the Kana resistance gene;

[0020] (2) FDH-GDH mutant library plasmid, wherein the FDH-GDH mutant library plasmid is obtained by amplifying the above-mentioned FDH-GDH fusion protein encoding gene using error-prone PCR, and cloning the amplified FDH-GDH fusion protein gene into an expression vector.

[0021] (3) Host bacteria, which are transformed with the above-mentioned formic acid biosensor and FDH-GDH mutant library plasmid.

[0022] Preferably, the adjustable promoter is the Tac promoter.

[0023] Preferably, the nucleotide sequence of the formic acid biosensor is shown in SEQ ID No. 10.

[0024] Preferably, the expression vector is pET32a.

[0025] Preferably, the host bacterium is Escherichia coli.

[0026] This invention also discloses an FDH-GDH co-evolution method, the steps of which include:

[0027] (1) Construction of formic acid biosensor: The expression of FHLA gene is initiated by the Tac promoter, and the FHLA promoter regulates the expression of Kana resistance gene;

[0028] (2) Obtaining FDH-GDH mutant library plasmid: Amplify the FDH-GDH fusion protein encoding gene as described in claim 5 or 6 using error-prone PCR, clone the amplified FDH-GDH fusion protein gene library into the pET32a vector, and obtain the FDH-GDH mutant library plasmid.

[0029] (3) Screening: The FDH-GDH mutant library plasmid was transferred into E. coli containing formic acid biosensor. Single clone strains with fast growth rate were selected by screening with IPTG and high concentration Kana plates. Catalytic tests were performed, and strains with enhanced yield were selected, i.e. containing the evolved FDH-GDH fusion protein.

[0030] Glyceryl dehydrogenase (GDH) is a key enzyme in the production of 1,3-dihydroxyacetone from glycerol. This invention utilizes a surface display system to exhibit GDH on the outer membrane of *E. coli* cells, increasing the binding degree between glycerol and GDH, thereby improving glycerol conversion efficiency, effectively avoiding the inhibitory effect of high-concentration glycerol on cells, and achieving efficient enzyme utilization. This invention employs two surface display systems. The first is the Lpp-OmpA display system, which can display catalytically active enzymes on the outer membrane of *E. coli*, generating a variety of whole-cell biocatalysts. OmpA is a β-barrel outer membrane protein of *E. coli*, forming a barrel-like structure with β-sheets that spans the outer membrane and can transport proteins with relatively large molecular weights. Lipoprotein (Lpp) is another outer membrane protein, anchored to the outer membrane by its amino-terminal lipid portion, and is also the most abundant lipoprotein on the surface of *E. coli*. The lipoprotein signal peptide is fused with a portion of the OmpA peptide to form a composite display system.

[0031] The second display system of this invention is the ice nucleation protein (INP) display system. INP is a classic carrier protein in bacterial surface display systems, belonging to a type of secretory surface protein found in bacteria. As a commonly used carrier protein, INP exists in various bacteria, such as *Pseudomonas fluorescens*, *Pseudomonas*, *Xanthomonas*, and *Eurybrio*, resulting in numerous mutants with varying functions. INP protein can effectively increase the display amount of target proteins, maximize the preservation of target protein activity, display a wide variety of target proteins, and ensure that the target proteins do not adversely affect the host. The ice nucleation protein INP selected in this invention was synthesized at Guangzhou Aiji Biotechnology Co., Ltd. using *Pseudomonas syringae* as a template, and the genomic sequence (IN3) of the ice nucleation protein INP was obtained by PCR amplification.

[0032] The principle of microbial conversion of glycerol to DHA involves glycerol dehydrogenase produced during microbial metabolism, which dehydrogenates the hydroxyl group at the 2-position of glycerol to generate DHA. The reaction requires the participation of the NAD+ oxidase, which catalyzes the conversion of NAD+ to NADH. Domestic and international literature reports that microorganisms used for DHA production mainly include Acetobacter, Gluconbacter, Serratia, and Klebsiella, with Gluconobacter oxydans being the most widely used strain in the industrial production of 1,3-dihydroxyacetone.

[0033] Glycerol dehydrogenase consumes a significant amount of NAD+ during the conversion of NAD+ and glycerol into NADH and dihydroxyacetone, increasing the cost of dihydroxyacetone production. CO2 reductase can fix CO2 into one-carbon organic compounds such as formic acid, which can then be used in the production of other organic compounds. Simultaneously, it converts NADH (reduced appendase I) into NAD+ (oxidized appendase I), thus continuously providing NAD+ for the DHA conversion process from glycerol. Therefore, this invention uses the genome of *Klebsiella* as a template and amplifies the genomic sequence (gldA) of glycerol dehydrogenase (GDH) using PCR. Furthermore, a fusion protein is formed by binding a linker to CO2 reductase (FDH). This invention combines glycerol dehydrogenase and CO2 reductase, simultaneously fixing CO2 to produce formic acid and converting glycerol into dihydroxyacetone. This achieves both CO2 fixation and the production of high-value-added products such as dihydroxyacetone. Furthermore, existing CO2 reductases and glycerol dehydrogenases have low activities. This invention provides a co-evolution method for CO2 reductase and glycerol dehydrogenase, obtaining a highly active CO2 reductase and glycerol dehydrogenase fusion protein, which is then displayed on the surface of *E. coli*, achieving efficient CO2 fixation and efficient production of dihydroxyacetone. This invention has advantages such as low cost, high value, green environmental protection, and recyclability, and is suitable for the efficient production of dihydroxyacetone.

The supernatant was collected, and the yields of DHA and formic acid were determined by HPLC. The results are shown below. Figure 8As shown, FDH-GDH fusion proteins with different surface displays and linker linkage methods all have good co-catalytic ability to produce DHA and formic acid. Among them, the IN3 protein surface display and 3×GGGGS as the linker have the best effect.

[0087] Example 4: Co-evolution of FDH-GDH fusion protein

[0088] (1) Construction of a formic acid-containing biosensor strain: The expression of the FHLA gene (amino acid sequence shown in SEQ: NO. 9) was initiated using the Tac promoter. The FHLA promoter regulates the expression of the Kana resistance gene. The DNA sequence of the entire formic acid biosensor is shown in SEQ: NO. 10. The formic acid biosensor plasmid was synthesized at Guangzhou Aiji Biotechnology Co., Ltd., and transformed into Rosetta (DE3) Escherichia coli. The plasmid was then spread on LB agar plates containing 50 mg / L streptomycin and chloramphenicol. The plates were incubated overnight at 37°C. Single clones were picked and cultured in LB liquid medium containing 50 mg / L streptomycin and chloramphenicol at 37°C and 220 rpm until the OD600 value reached 0.4. Competent cells were prepared using a supercompetent cell preparation kit and stored at -80°C for later use.

[0089] (2) Obtaining the FDH-GDH mutant library plasmid: The IN3-(GGGGS)3-FDH-GDH recombinant fusion protein gene was amplified using BioLab's ready-to-use error-prone PCR kit, with 0.1 ng and 1 ng DNA as templates, for 30, 40, 50, and 60 cycles respectively. The amplified DNA was collected and a highly complex mutant library was prepared. The amplified fragment was seamlessly cloned into pET32a using Novizan's seamless cloning kit.

[0090] (3) Screening: The FDH-GDH mutant library plasmid was transformed into competent E. coli cells containing a formic acid biosensor and cultured at 37°C and 220 rpm in LB broth containing 50 mg / L streptomycin, ampicillin, and chloramphenicol until the OD600 value reached 0.8. IPTG was added to a final concentration of 1 mM, and the cells were cultured at 30°C and 220 rpm for another 20 h. The cells were collected by centrifugation at 10000 rpm and 4°C for 10 min. The cells were resuspended in PBS and washed twice. The cells were then resuspended in catalytic culture medium (5 g / L glycerol, 1 g / L NAD+, 20 mM NAHCO3, 1X PBS buffer, 1X LB broth) and cultured at 37°C and 100 rpm with shaking for 5 h. The bacterial strains were plated on kanamycin resistance selection plates (0.1 mM IPTG, 500 mg / L kanamycin, 15 g / L agar, 5 g / L glycerol, 1 g / L NAD+, 20 mM NAHCO3, 1X PBS buffer, 1X LB medium). Fast-growing single-clone colonies were picked and sequenced for verification. The principle of the selection is as follows: Figure 9 As shown.

[0091] (4) Whole-cell catalysis: The sequenced plasmid was transformed into competent *E. coli* Rosetta (DE3) cells, and whole-cell catalysis was performed after induction of expression. The catalytic buffer was prepared as follows: 20 g / L glycerol, 10 g / L NAD+, 3 mM NaHCO3, and 1X PBS buffer. The bacterial cells were resuspended in the catalytic buffer. The cells were incubated at 37°C with shaking at 100 rpm for 48 h. After the catalytic reaction, the catalytic solution was collected and centrifuged at 12000 rpm for 10 min at 4°C. The supernatant was collected, and DHA was detected by HPLC. Figure 10-11 As shown, compared with the pre-evolutionary FDH-GDH fusion protein, the evolved FDH-GDH fusion protein significantly increases the production of DHA and formic acid.
