Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a method for metabolically engineering brewing yeast to produce limonene and its derivatives, belonging to the field of biotechnology. Background Technology
[0002] Monoterpenes are a class of natural products with isoprene as their backbone, possessing significant economic value. Limonene, a typical monoterpene, has been found in over 300 plant species and some bacteria. Limonene and its derivative, perillic acid, are widely used in industrial production due to their pleasant aroma, unique bioactivity, and excellent physicochemical properties, appearing in pharmaceuticals, food, skincare products, biofuels, and biomaterials. Global limonene production is growing rapidly, and the market size is projected to exceed $1.9 billion by 2024. While the wide range of applications for limonene and perillic acid has led to a surge in market demand, seasonal climate changes severely impact the extraction of these compounds from natural plants. Furthermore, chemical synthesis processes suffer from low efficiency, high energy consumption, significant environmental pollution, and toxic byproducts, hindering large-scale production and application.
[0003] The known pharmacological activities of limonene and perillic acid include: (1) broad-spectrum antibacterial activity: limonene has obvious inhibitory effects on the growth and reproduction of common bacteria such as Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus, as well as fungi such as yeast and some molds; (2) anti-inflammatory: limonene and perillic acid can inhibit the expression of pro-inflammatory factors TNF-α and IL-6 in leukocytes, thereby playing a certain anti-inflammatory role; (3) antioxidant: limonene is an antioxidant with the ability to scavenge diphenylpicrylhydrazide (DPPH) free radicals; (4) antitumor: limonene and perillic acid have preventive and therapeutic effects on many types of cancer, such as gastric cancer, breast cancer, skin cancer, and lymphoma; (5) expectorant, antiasthmatic, choleretic, and litholytic effects of limonene. Therefore, large-scale production of limonene and perillic acid has become an inevitable trend.
[0004] The rapid development of synthetic biology and metabolic engineering has provided another approach for the sustainable production of high-value-added natural products. To date, researchers have achieved the biosynthesis of limonene in Escherichia coli, yeast, and mold, and have also successfully achieved the biocatalysis of limonene to perillic acid using Yarrowia lipolytica. However, there are currently no reports on the de novo synthesis of perillic acid by Saccharomyces cerevisiae. To increase limonene yield, traditional metabolic engineering strategies include: (1) overexpressing or modifying the rate-limiting gene HMGR in the MVA pathway; (2) modifying the gene ERG20 to weaken the competitive pathway and promote the accumulation of terpene precursor GPP; and (3) introducing orthogonal pathways to alleviate cellular regulation of the MVA pathway. However, the resulting limonene titers still cannot meet the needs of industrial production. In recent years, organelle compartmentalization has been proven to be a feasible method for producing isoprene. Compartmentation of mitochondria, peroxisomes, and endoplasmic reticulum has been reported to promote the production of various isoprene compounds, but there are few reports on compartmentalization of the limonene synthesis pathway in *S. cerevisiae*. Utilization of organelles may further enhance the ability of *S. cerevisiae* to produce limonene and perillic acid.
[0005] Therefore, the current research goal is to use metabolic engineering and synthetic biology techniques to modify the S. cerevisiae starting strain in order to achieve efficient production of limonene and perillic acid. Summary of the Invention

[0107] Example 2: Effects of different recombinant brewing yeasts on limonene yield
[0108] The specific steps are as follows:
[0109] (1) The recombinant strains S. cerevisiae HY-PER-01, S. cerevisiae HY-PER-02 and S. cerevisiae HY-PER-03 prepared in Example 3 were streaked on MM solid medium to obtain single colonies. Single colonies were picked and inoculated into 100 mL Erlenmeyer flasks containing 20 mL of MM liquid medium and cultured at 30 °C and 200 r / min for 24 h to obtain seed liquids.
[0110] (2) The seed liquid prepared in step (1) was inoculated into 250 mL Erlenmeyer flasks containing 30 mL SG liquid culture medium at an inoculation amount of OD = 0.5, and cultured at 30 °C and 200 r / min for 120 h to prepare fermentation broth.
[0111] (3) Take the fermentation broth from step (2) and centrifuge it in a 50 mL centrifuge tube at 12000 rpm for 10 min. After centrifugation, obtain the organic layer. Add anhydrous sodium sulfate and let it stand for 1-2 h to remove water. Use a syringe to draw 1 mL of the upper dodecane organic phase, filter it through a filter membrane, and use it for GC-MS analysis. The limonene yield is as follows: Figures 2-3 , Figure 6 As shown.
[0112] The results show:
[0113] (1) The limonene production of the recombinant strain S. cerevisiae HY-PER-01 increased from 20.85 mg / L in S. cerevisiae HY-PER-02 to 24.60 mg / L, which is 1.18 times that of strain S. cerevisiae HY-PER-02. Figure 3 The results showed that, compared with the fusion protein gene ERG13-ERG10, the overexpression of the fusion protein gene ERG10-ERG13 was more beneficial to the production of limonene.
[0114] (2) The recombinant strain S. cerevisiae HY-PER-02 provided by this invention has a concentration of 20.85 mg / L. This indicates that overexpression of key enzymes in the limonene synthesis pathway plays a positive role in its efficient synthesis.
[0115] Example 3: The impact of preliminary carbon source optimization on limonene yield
[0116] The specific steps are as follows:
[0117] 1. Optimization of carbon source for recombinant strain S. cerevisiae HY-PER-01

Single colonies were picked and inoculated into 100 mL Erlenmeyer flasks containing 20 mL SD liquid medium and cultured at 30 °C and 200 r / min for 24 h to obtain seed liquid.
[0119] (2) The seed liquid prepared in step (1) was inoculated into 250 mL Erlenmeyer flasks containing 30 mL of SG liquid medium containing 2% galactose, 2% galactose + 1% raffinose and 4% galactose + 2% raffinose respectively at an inoculation amount of OD = 0.5. The flasks were cultured at 30℃ and 200 r / min for 120 h to prepare fermentation broths.
[0120] (3) Take the fermentation broth from step (2) and centrifuge it in a 50 mL centrifuge tube at 12000 rpm for 10 min. After centrifugation, obtain the organic layer. Add anhydrous sodium sulfate and let it stand for 1-2 h to remove water. Use a syringe to draw 1 mL of the upper dodecane organic phase, filter it through a filter membrane, and use it for GC-MS analysis. The limonene yield is as follows: Figure 4 As shown.
[0121] The results show:
[0122] When fermented for 120 hours with 2% galactose as the carbon source, the yield of limonene was only 24.61 mg / L.
[0123] Adding 1% raffinose to 2% galactose as a carbon source to improve the growth of S. cerevisiae cells resulted in a limonene yield of 48.86 mg / L, which was 1.98 times higher than when only 2% galactose was used.
[0124] Using 4% galactose and 2% raffinose as carbon sources significantly enhanced cell growth and increased maximum bacterial concentration (OD). 600 The yield reached 26.20 mg / L, and the limonene yield reached 62.20 mg / L, which was 2.52 times that of using only 2% galactose.
[0125] The above results indicate that high concentrations of carbon sources can significantly enhance limonene production.

The flasks were cultured at 30℃ and 200 r / min for 120 h to prepare fermentation broth.
[0131] (3) Take the fermentation broth from step (2) and centrifuge it in a 50 mL centrifuge tube at 12000 rpm for 10 min. After centrifugation, obtain the organic layer. Add anhydrous sodium sulfate and let it stand for 1-2 h to remove water. Use a syringe to draw 1 mL of the upper dodecane organic phase, filter it through a filter membrane, and use it for GC-MS analysis. The limonene yield is as follows: Figure 6 As shown.
[0132] The results show:
[0133] When 20 g / L glucose was used as the carbon source, the cell concentration OD600 was 16.53, and the limonene yield was 58.92 mg / L. When the glucose concentration was increased to 40 g / L, the cell concentration OD600 reached 20.02, and the limonene yield increased to 69.45 mg / L. When the glucose concentration was further increased to 60 g / L, the cell concentration OD600 reached 25.13, and the limonene yield reached as high as 86.74 mg / L, which was 1.47 times that of the 20 g / L glucose.

[0149] (3) Take 5 mL of fermentation broth into a centrifuge tube, add 5 mL of ethyl acetate, shake the mixture thoroughly with a shaker, and then centrifuge at 5,000 rpm for 10 min.

[0173] Example 6: The effects of compartmentalization and modularization on limonene
[0174] For specific construction methods, please refer to the Chinese invention patent application text with publication number CN114277040A.
[0175] The specific steps are as follows:
[0176] The expression cassette of module III prepared in Example 5 was concentrated by ethanol precipitation and then transferred into *S. cerevisiae* BY4741 via lithium acetate conversion. The cassette was plated on MM solid medium and incubated at 30°C for 2–3 days. The correctly verified strains were named *S. cerevisiae* Lim01 (located in the cytoplasm) and *S. cerevisiae* Lim02 (located in the peroxisome). Using *S. cerevisiae* Lim01 as the starting strain, overexpression of module I in the cytoplasm yielded the recombinant strain *S. cerevisiae* Lim03; overexpression of module II yielded strain S. cerevisiae* Lim05; and overexpression of both modules I and II yielded the recombinant strain S. cerevisiae* Lim07. Starting with S. cerevisiae Lim02, recombinant strain S. cerevisiae Lim04 was obtained by overexpressing module I in peroxisomes; strain S. cerevisiae Lim06 was obtained by overexpressing module II; and recombinant strain S. cerevisiae Lim08 was obtained by overexpressing both modules I and II.
[0177] Limonene production such as Figure 1As shown, the limonene yield of S. cerevisiae Lim01 was 0.02 mg / L, and that of S. cerevisiae Lim02 was 0.038 mg / L. This indicates that the peroxisome compartmentalized expression genes ERG20ww and tLS promote limonene synthesis in S. cerevisiae. Overexpression of module I increased the limonene yield of strain S. cerevisiae Lim03 by 13-fold compared to the control strain S. cerevisiae Lim01, and the limonene yield of strain S. cerevisiae Lim04 by 16.78-fold compared to the control strain S. cerevisiae Lim02. Overexpression of module II increased the limonene yield of strain S. cerevisiae Lim05 by 6.80-fold compared to the control strain S. cerevisiae Lim01, and the limonene yield of strain S. cerevisiae Lim06 by 11.47-fold compared to the control strain S. cerevisiae Lim02. Meanwhile, overexpression of modules I and II increased the limonene yield of strain S. cerevisiae Lim06 by 22 times compared to the control strain S. cerevisiae Lim01. The limonene yield of strain S. cerevisiae Lim08 reached 1.14 mg / L, a 30-fold increase compared to the control strain S. cerevisiae Lim02. This indicates that expression of both modules I and II promotes limonene yield, but the promoting effect of module I is superior to that of module II. This may be because the HMGR gene, as the rate-limiting step in the MVA pathway, can effectively increase the synthesis of the precursor geranyl pyrophosphate (GPP) by expressing a truncated 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-Co reductase (gene tHMGR).
[0178] Although the present invention has been disclosed above with reference to preferred embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Any person skilled in the art can make various modifications and alterations without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be determined by the claims.
