Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the fields of bioengineering, genetic engineering technology and oligosaccharide (rare sugar) synthesis technology, and specifically relates to a method for producing lactose-N-disaccharide by using genetically modified yeast genetic engineering bacteria. Background Art
[0002] Breast milk is the most ideal natural "functional food" for infants and the "gold standard" for infant nutrition. Compared with breastfed infants, bottle-fed infants have a lower survival rate and a higher chance of infection, which has aroused scientists' interest in studying the composition of breast milk. Since the 21st century, researchers have found that the concentration of total HMOs (acidic and neutral oligosaccharides) in human colostrum is as high as 24g / L, but it decreases with the extension of lactation period; it is also found that HMOs are very important for the growth and development of infants and their health in the later period. It can promote the balance of infant intestinal microecology, promote the proliferation of beneficial bacteria in the intestine, inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria, resist pathogen infection, regulate the immune system and promote the cognitive development of infants. Many beneficial effects of breast milk are attributed to human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs).
[0003] With the continuous advancement of analytical tools and technologies for structural characterization, scientists are working to identify the components of breast milk, especially the rich and diverse HMOs, of which more than 200 have been identified. Among them, 2-fucosyllactose (2'-FL), lactose-N-triose (Lacto-N-tetriaose II, LNTII), lactose-N-tetraose (Lacto-N-tetraose, LNT) and lactose-N-neotetraose (LNnT) were found to be the main components of HMOs, playing the role of bifidus factors. Studies have shown that adding HMOs to infant formula milk powder with cow's milk or goat's milk as the main raw material and feeding infants can approach the effect of breastfeeding in terms of nutrition and immunity of infants. Therefore, adding HMOs with physiological functions to infant formula, some artificial milk, dairy products, baby food, functional health products or special population foods will greatly improve the physical fitness of the corresponding population and improve their quality of life, which has obvious social and economic value. Infant formula and dietary supplements added with HMOs have been sold in the markets of the United States, the European Union, Australia, New Zealand, etc. Currently, the European Union EFSA and the US FDA have approved the marketing of lactose-N-tetraose (LNT) and lactose-N-neotetraose (LNnT).
[0004] Lactose-N-biose (LNB, Galβ1-3GlcNAc, chemical structure see formula 1) is a type of HMOs and the core structure of neutral HMOs. It is an important precursor for the synthesis of other neutral HMOs. However, due to its limited sources, it is urgent to establish a simple, efficient and economical synthesis pathway for obtaining the core structure lactose-N-biose (LNB) in large quantities. LNB is a product of galactose-1-phosphate and acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) through 1,3- β In recent years, researchers have been optimizing the production and preparation methods of LNB, which is a disaccharide connected by a bond. Among the existing preparation methods, extraction from human breast milk has high production costs, low yields, and high prices. Although chemical synthesis can obtain oligosaccharides with a certain structure, it requires the participation of heavy metals, is environmentally unfriendly, and has food safety issues, which limits the commercial progress of chemical synthesis of LNB. Compared with chemical methods, biological methods have the advantages of simple processes, mild reaction conditions, and simple product treatment processes. Therefore, researchers have been trying to use biological methods to synthesize lactose-N-disaccharide (LNB) in order to break through bottlenecks and achieve low-cost, scalable production of LNB.
[0005] .
[0006] Nishimoto et al. (Biosci. Biotech. Bioch. 2007, 71 (8), 2101-2104.) synthesized lactose-N-disaccharide (LNB) by in vitro enzyme catalysis. They designed a one-pot multi-enzyme catalysis pathway for synthesizing LNB using sucrose and acetylglucosamine as substrates. Sucrose phosphatase was used to catalyze glucose-1-phosphate, which was then catalyzed with acetylglucosamine to generate LNB by enzyme catalysis after UDP-Gal / UDP-Glc cycle. CN201911055516.5 used a multi-enzyme catalytic system with good biosafety and wide application, and introduced three modules such as ATP regeneration cycle system into the multi-enzyme reaction system with galactose and acetylglucosamine. Compared with the previous method, the enzyme synthesis rate was increased by more than 13 times, and the synthesis of lactose-N-disaccharide and substrate utilization were improved. However, the above methods must use acetylglucosamine as a substrate, which greatly increases the raw material cost for synthesizing LNB.
[0007] The synthesis of HMOs by microbial fermentation is mostly focused on the biosynthesis technology of HMOs produced by fermentation of Escherichia coli. There are many patents (application numbers CN201611147477.8, CN201680052611.8, CN201611147478.2 and CN201510751641.5) that all use Escherichia coli as a host to produce HMOs heterologously. Compared with Escherichia coli, yeast fermentation production has food safety, high robustness, and no phage problems. It is one of the ideal hosts for large-scale industrial production of HMOs. CN202010187632.9 discloses an engineered strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, in which the yeast cells can produce 2'-fucosyllactose after genetic modification, which provides an important reference for the industrial production of HMOs by yeast. However, to date, there have been no reports on the synthesis of LNB using Escherichia coli or yeast. Summary of the invention

[0233]
[0234] Example 3. Fermentation synthesis of LNB by genetically engineered Kluyveromyces lactis and Kluyveromyces marxianus
[0235] Lactose or glucose and galactose were used as substrates, and a two-stage culture was used to conduct a LNB synthesis verification experiment using Kluyveromyces lactis cells, Kluyveromyces marxianus cells, the Kluyveromyces lactis genetically engineered bacteria obtained in Example 1, and the Marxianus genetically engineered bacteria obtained in Example 2, respectively.
[0236] 1. Fermentation experiment:
[0237] Phase 1: Bacterial growth phase: Glucose is used as a carbon source to culture yeast, allowing the yeast to grow rapidly until the yeast enters the late logarithmic phase or stable phase. The strain is streaked and cultured in solid culture media such as YDP. After culturing at 30°C for 2-3 days, a single colony is picked and inoculated into 1.5mL YPD liquid culture medium, and cultured overnight at 30°C and 200 rpm. Subsequently, 2% of the inoculum is inoculated into a 50mL liquid culture medium shake flask, and cultured at 30°C and 200 rpm until the OD 600 =1, inoculated at a 2% inoculum into 5 L of YPD medium (yeast extract powder 10 g / L, peptone 20 g / L, glucose 20 g / L) (10 L fermenter), and cultured at 30 °C and 200 rpm for bacterial cell accumulation.
[0238] Phase II: Product synthesis period: 30°C, 200 rpm shaking culture for 40 hours, start to add 20g / L lactose or use 10g / L glucose and 10g / L galactose instead of 20g / L lactose, the total fermentation time is 72 hours. After 72 hours of fermentation, centrifuge the fermentation liquid, collect the supernatant and precipitate respectively, use a high-pressure homogenizer to break the precipitate, boil and centrifuge to remove protein, and combine the supernatant to obtain the final fermentation product of yeast.
[0239] 2. Product Identification
[0240] (1) The standard product and fermentation broth were tested according to the above HPLC analysis method. The HPLC analysis results showed that the peak time rt of the LNB standard product was 10.5 min.
[0241] The fermentation broth of Kluyveromyces lactis obtained in Example 1 and the fermentation broth of Kluyveromyces marxianus obtained in Example 2 both showed strong absorption peaks at around 10.5 min, which was consistent with the peak time of the LNB standard, preliminarily indicating that the yeast genetically engineered bacteria fermented to produce lactose-N-disaccharide (LNB).
[0242] (2) LC-MS analysis
[0243] The product with rt=10.5 min in the HPLC spectrum was subjected to LC-MS analysis. The specific conditions for LC-MS analysis were: AminexHPX-87H (Bio-Rad, Inc., Hercules.), detector: UV detector (Hitachi Chromaster), detection wavelength: 210nm, injection volume: 10μL, flow rate: 0.5ml / min, column temperature: 45℃, mobile phase: 5 mM sulfuric acid aqueous solution; H-ESI mode, molecular weight scanning range 400~900.
[0244] The LC-MS spectrum shows that the molecular weight of the LNB standard product, 384.1459, should be LNB+H; the molecular weight of 406.1315 should be LNB+Na. The mass spectrometry results can be retrieved to obtain the following results: Compound CID: 440994, Chemical Formula: C 14 H 25 NO 11 , Extract Mass: 383.1.
[0245] The LC-MS spectrum of the substance with rt=10.5 min in the HPLC spectrum of the fermentation product is consistent with the LC-MS spectrum of the LNB standard, indicating that the substance with rt=10.5 min in the fermentation broth is LNB.
[0246] In summary, the molecular weight of the product obtained by fermentation of the yeast genetically engineered bacteria of the present invention is about 383, and the peak time is consistent with the peak time of the LNB standard, that is, the fermentation solution obtained by the present invention contains lactose-N-disaccharide (LNB, molecular weight 383.1).
[0247] The LNB yield in the fermentation broth was detected by the above HPLC analysis method, and the results are recorded in Tables 3 and 4 respectively.
[0248] After analysis and determination:
[0249] (1) The Kluyveromyces lactis starting strains, StrainKL-LNB-0, StrainKL-LNB-1, StrainKL-LNB-2, StrainKL-LNB-3, StrainKL-LNB-1-1, StrainKL-LNB-2-1, StrainKL-LNB-3-1, StrainKL-LNB-11, and StrainKL-LNB-12 genetically engineered strains do not produce LNB.
[0250] (2) The Kluyveromyces max starting strains, StrainKM-LNB-0, StrainKM-LNB-1, StrainKM-LNB-2, StrainKM-LNB-3, StrainKM-LNB-1-1, StrainKM-LNB-2-1, StrainKM-LNB-3-1, StrainKM-LNB-11, and StrainKM-LNB-12 genetically engineered strains do not produce LNB.
[0251] (3) The results of LNB production by other genetically engineered strains are recorded in Tables 3 and 4, respectively.

[0256] .
[0257] Table 3-4 shows the data in Kluyveromyces lactis or Kluyveromyces marxianus strains:
[0258] (1) Simultaneous introduction of lactose-N-biose phosphorylase ( LNBP ) and fructose-1-phosphate phosphorylase ( YQAB ) can synthesize LNB even when lacto-N-biose phosphorylase from different sources is introduced ( LNBP ) and fructose-1-phosphate phosphorylase from different sources ( YQAB ), can still synthesize LNB;
[0259] (2) Based on (1), by destroying the yeast markers WRONG Gene or modification of the GalT amino acid sequence significantly increased the production of LNB.
[0260] (3) Introducing lactose-N-biose phosphorylase alone ( LNBP ) or fructose-1-phosphate phosphorylase ( YQAB ) or disruption of yeast markers GALT Genetic or modified yeast markers GALT The resulting genetically engineered strain has no ability to synthesize LNB.
[0261] (4) Regardless of whether the carbon source is lactose or a mixture of galactose and glucose, the yield of LNB does not differ much.

[0284] Construction of strain KM-LNB-13: KM-ΔAGM1::loxp-Kan-loxp Knockout cassette and KM-Δ GALE::P tef -CAMR-Tuap-PcamO-AGM1-Tagm-loxp-Kan-loxp The expression cassette was transformed into Kluyveromyces marxianus LNB-4 strain, and the G418 resistance was deleted to obtain the StrainKM-LNB-13 strain.
[0285] To verify the correctness of the above strains, we extracted the genomes of the above transformants and wild-type strains, and amplified the genomes by PCR using the corresponding knockout cassette or expression cassette amplification primers. If the size of the only band obtained after PCR amplification is consistent with the knockout cassette or expression cassette, the strain is judged to be correct, otherwise the strain is judged to be a false positive error.
[0286] Example 6. Fermentation experiment of Kluyveromyces lactis genetically engineered bacteria and Kluyveromyces marxianus genetically engineered bacteria obtained in Examples 4-5
[0287] Using 20 g / L lactose or 10 g / L glucose and 10 g / L galactose instead of lactose as the carbon source and camphor as a molecular switch to regulate small molecules, a two-stage culture was used to conduct a synthesis verification experiment of LNB.
[0288] 1. Fermentation experiment
[0289] The first stage is the bacterial growth stage: the same as the first stage of the fermentation experiment in Example 3.
[0290] The second stage is the product synthesis period: 30℃, 200 rpm shaking culture for 40 hours, start to flow 20 g / L lactose or 10 g / L glucose and 10 g / L galactose, and add 200 µM camphor for fermentation, the total fermentation time is 72 hours. After 72 hours of fermentation, the fermentation liquid is centrifuged, and the supernatant and precipitate are collected separately. The precipitate is crushed by a high-pressure homogenizer, boiled and centrifuged to remove protein, and the supernatant is combined to obtain the final fermentation product of yeast.
[0291] 2. Product identification and content analysis methods are the same as in Example 3. The amount of LNB produced by the yeast genetic engineering strains is recorded in Table 5.
[0292] Table 5. LNB synthesis by genetically engineered strains of Kluyveromyces lactis and Kluyveromyces marxianus
[0293] .
[0294] Data in Table 5 illustrate: Before the introduction of the molecular switch, the metabolic flow inside the yeast was changed by adding small molecules with molecular switch regulation function to the genetically engineered strains of Kluyveromyces lactis and Kluyveromyces marxianus during the stable period after growth, thereby significantly increasing the LNB production by nearly ten times.
[0295] Although the present invention has been described in considerable detail by way of illustration and example for purposes of clear understanding, it will be apparent to one of ordinary skill in the art that any equivalent aspects or modifications may be implemented. Therefore, the present description and examples should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention.
