Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of microbiology and biotechnology, specifically to a method for constructing an L-amino acid-producing strain, the engineered strain obtained by the method, and a method for producing L-amino acids using the strain. Background Technology

[0002] L-amino acids are the basic building blocks of proteins, including L-lysine, L-threonine, and glutamic acid. They are essential substances for the nutrition, survival, and development of human and animal organisms, playing a crucial role in metabolic regulation and information transmission. They are widely used in the pharmaceutical, health, food, animal feed, and cosmetic industries, primarily produced through microbial fermentation. Currently, the main production strains include microorganisms such as Enterobacter and Corynebacterium. Due to its physiological advantages, Corynebacterium has become the most important production strain in industry. With the continuous development of biotechnology, reports on using genetic modification techniques to enhance the amino acid production of Corynebacterium glutamicum have emerged. Currently, the acid-producing capacity of industrial production strains has reached a high level. Under these circumstances, how to discover modifiable genetic targets to further improve the acid-producing capacity of strains has become a continuous pursuit for those skilled in the art.

[0003] Existing literature reports that highly conserved two-component regulatory systems (TCS) in prokaryotes help organisms cope with various physiological and environmental stresses, playing a key regulatory role in bacterial adaptation to environmental stress. TCS typically consists of a histidine kinase (HK) and a response regulator (RR). HK is a transmembrane protein that senses changes in the external environment and transmits signals through its own phosphorylation and dephosphorylation. RR is the main regulatory protein, activated by phosphorylation of HK, and regulates the expression of downstream genes. Existing literature reports that MprAB is an important TCS in mycobacteria, which mainly responds to and regulates cell membrane pressure and maintains persistent infection in the host. It can activate the transcription of more than 200 downstream genes (Hongjun He, Raymond Hovey, Jason Kane, Vineet Singh, Thomas C Zahrt. MprAB is a stress-responsive two-component system that directly regulates expression of sigmafactors SigB and SigE in Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Journal of Bacteriology, 2006. 188(6): 2134-2143; Daniel J Bretl, Tarin M Bigley, Scott S Terhune, Thomas C Zahrt. The MprBextracytoplasmic domain negatively regulates activation of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis MprAB two-component system. Journal of Bacteriology, 2014. 196(2): 391-406.).Among its target genes are genes encoding important stress-related Sigma factors such as sigE and sigB. Furthermore, the transcription of mprAB is regulated by both sigE and MprA, forming a complex feedback regulatory loop (Xue Li, Xi Lv, Yanping Lin, Junfeng Zhen, Cao Ruan, Wei Duan, Yue Li, Jianping Xie. Role of two-component regulatory systems in intracellular survival of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Journal of Cellular Biochemistry, 2019, 120(8): 12197-12207.). Therefore, the MprAB system is crucial for the survival of mycobacteria under complex environmental stress conditions.

[0004] The *Corynebacterium glutamicum* genome contains the CgtR2-CgtS2 system, annotated as the MprA-MprB homology system, composed of RR encoded by the cgtR2 gene and HK encoded by the cgtS2 gene. However, research on the CgtR2-CgtS2 system is currently limited, and its involvement in regulating the stress response of *Corynebacterium glutamicum* and its impact on L-amino acid production remain unclear. Based on the potential important function of the CgtR2-CgtS2 system in regulating cell membrane stress response and the crucial role of extracellular membrane stress response in L-amino acid synthesis, it is hypothesized that modifications to CgtR2-CgtS2 may affect the synthesis and secretion of L-amino acids. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To further enhance the L-amino acid production capacity of Corynebacterium glutamicum and thus provide a more efficient method for producing L-amino acids, especially L-glutamic acid, the inventors of this invention discovered that knockout or specific point mutation of CgtR2 leads to the inactivation of the CgtR2-CgtS2 system, thereby increasing the L-glutamic acid yield and conversion rate of the strain and reducing production costs. Based on this, this invention was completed.

[0006] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a method for constructing a Corynebacterium glutamicum that produces L-amino acids, which is achieved by weakening the CgtR2-CgtS2 system in the strain.

[0007] The “CgtR2-CgtS2 system” described herein refers to the MprA-MprB homology system derived from Corynebacterium glutamicum, consisting of RR encoded by the cgtR2 gene (GeneID cgl0874, NCgl0839, or BBD29_04835) and HK encoded by the cgtS2 gene (GeneID cgl0875, NCgl0840, or BBD29_04840). As used herein, CgtR2 and CgtS2 can be wild-type sequences of the amino acid sequences of SEQ ID NO:1 and SEQ ID NO:5, or amino acid sequences having at least 75%, specifically at least 80%, more specifically 85%, and even more specifically 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, or 99% or higher homology with the amino acid sequences of SEQ ID NO:1 and SEQ ID NO:5. Furthermore, it is obvious that if an amino acid sequence is homologous to the sequences described above and has substantially the same or corresponding biological activity as the proteins of SEQ ID NO:1 and SEQ ID NO:5, then amino acid sequences with deletions, modifications, substitutions, or additions should also fall within the scope of this invention. In this invention, any polynucleotide sequence encoding CgtR2 may fall within the scope of this invention. For example, a polynucleotide sequence may be a polynucleotide sequence having at least 75%, specifically at least 80%, more specifically 85%, and even more specifically 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, or 99% or higher homology to the polynucleotide sequences of SEQ ID NO:2 and SEQ ID NO:6. Additionally, based on codon degeneracy or considering the preferred codons for protein expression in an organism, the polynucleotide sequence encoding the protein may have various variations in the coding region without altering the amino acid sequence of the protein expressed from the coding region.

[0008] The term "weakening" refers to the reduction, weakening, or even complete disappearance of CgtR2-CgtS2 expression compared to the wild-type strain, or the production of a non-expressed gene, or the expression product having no activity or reduced activity despite expression.

[0009] In a specific embodiment, compared to the wild-type or endogenous polypeptide, the activity of the mutated gene's transcription, expression, or encoded protein is reduced by at least 30%, preferably at least 40%, more preferably at least 50%, such as at least 60%, at least 70%, at least 80%, at least 90%, at least 95%, at least 96%, at least 97%, at least 98%, or at least 99%, or the gene encoding the wild-type or endogenous polypeptide is removed.

[0010] The "weakening" can be achieved through modification, including but not limited to deleting part or all of the coding gene, frameshift mutations in the gene reading frame, weakening transcription or translation intensity, or using a gene or allele encoding a corresponding enzyme or protein with lower activity, or inactivating the corresponding gene or enzyme, and optionally combining these methods. Reduction of gene expression can be achieved by employing appropriate culture methods or genetic modifications (mutations) to the signaling structures of gene expression, such as repressor genes, active genes, operator genes, promoters, attenuators, ribosome binding sites, start codons, and terminators. Based on the teachings of this disclosure, those skilled in the art will understand that L-glutamate production can be increased by inactivating the coding genes for CgtR2 and CgtS2, or by preventing CgtR2 and CgtS2 from functioning properly in the cell. Those skilled in the art can achieve the above objectives using techniques known in the art.

[0011] In one specific embodiment, the inactivation is achieved by introducing a mutation into the CgtR2-CgtS2 system. Preferably, the mutation is the introduction of a leucine mutation at position 4 corresponding to SEQ ID NO:1; or the introduction of an arginine mutation at position 198 corresponding to SEQ ID NO:5; and / or the introduction of a tryptophan mutation at position 380 corresponding to SEQ ID NO:5.

[0012] In some embodiments, wild-type CgtR2 and CgtS2 in this disclosure refer to wild-type CgtR2 and CgtS2 proteins, i.e., polypeptides with amino acid sequences as shown in SEQ ID NO: 1 and SEQ ID NO: 5. Compared with wild-type CgtR2 and CgtS2, strains containing mutants have a more than 6% increase in L-glutamic acid production and a more than 5% increase in conversion rate.

[0013] The term "mutant" refers to a polynucleotide or polypeptide that, relative to the "wild type" or "comparative" type, contains alterations (i.e., substitutions, insertions, and / or deletions) at one or more (e.g., several) positions. Substitution refers to replacing a nucleotide occupying a position with a different nucleotide. Deletion refers to removing a nucleotide occupying a position. Insertion refers to adding a nucleotide adjacent to and immediately following the nucleotide occupying the position. In a specific embodiment, the "mutation" is a "substitution," a mutation caused by the substitution of one or more bases in a nucleotide by another different base, also known as a substitution mutation or point mutation.

[0014] The term "amino acid mutation" or "nucleotide mutation" includes "substitution, duplication, deletion, or addition of one or more amino acids or nucleotides." In this invention, the term "mutation" refers to an alteration of a nucleotide sequence or amino acid sequence. In one specific embodiment, the term "mutation" refers to "substitution."

[0015] The term "transformation" as used herein has the meaning commonly understood by those skilled in the art, namely, the process of introducing exogenous DNA into a host. The methods of transformation include any method of introducing nucleic acids into cells, including but not limited to electroporation, calcium phosphate (CaPO4) precipitation, calcium chloride (CaCl2) precipitation, microinjection, polyethylene glycol (PEG) method, DEAE-dextran method, cationic liposome method, and lithium acetate-DMSO method.

A polynucleotide can be a single fragment or a component of a larger nucleotide sequence structure derived from a nucleotide sequence isolated at least once in number or concentration, capable of being recognized, manipulated, and recovered using standard molecular biology methods (e.g., using cloning vectors). This also includes an RNA sequence (i.e., A, U, G, C) when a nucleotide sequence is represented by a DNA sequence (i.e., A, T, G, C), where "U" replaces "T". In other words, a "polynucleotide" refers to a polymer of nucleotides removed from other nucleotides (single fragments or entire fragments), or it can be a component or part of a larger nucleotide structure, such as an expression vector or a polycistronic sequence. Polynucleotides include DNA, RNA, and cDNA sequences.

Homology between the sequences of one moiety and another can be determined using techniques known in the art.

Examples of such computer programs include BLAST (NCBI), CLC Main Workbench (CLCbio), MegAlign™ (DNASTAR Inc.), etc. Alternatively, homology between polynucleotides can be determined by hybridizing the polynucleotides under conditions of stable double strand formation between homologous regions, digesting them using a single-strand-specific nuclease, and then determining the size of the resulting fragments.

[0119] Example 1: Construction of Corynebacterium glutamicum CgtR2-deficient strain

[0120] To verify the effect of the CgtR2-CgtS2 two-component system on L-amino acid synthesis, we took L-glutamic acid as an example. Based on a strain with L-glutamic acid synthesis ability—SCgGC7 (strain information and construction process refer to CN115927325A), we knocked out CgtR2 to inactivate the CgtR2-CgtS2 system and verified its function and its effect on L-glutamic acid synthesis.

[0121] Based on the reported wild-type CgtR2 sequence in Corynebacterium glutamicum ATCC 13869 (amino acid sequence as shown in SEQ ID NO: 1, nucleotide sequence as shown in SEQ ID NO: 2), primers ΔCgtR2-UH-F / ΔCgtR2-UH-R and ΔCgtR2-DH-F / ΔCgtR2-DH-R were designed. Using the ATCC 13869 genome as a template, upstream and downstream homologous arms for CgtR2 deletion were obtained by PCR amplification. Primers pK-F / R were designed based on the sequence information of plasmid pK18mobsacB. Using plasmid pK18mobsacB as a template, linearized vector fragments were obtained by reverse PCR amplification. The upstream and downstream homologous arm fragments were purified and recombined with the linearized vector fragment to obtain the cgtR2 gene deletion vector pK18-ΔCgtR2.

[0122] SCgGC7 competent cells were prepared according to the method reported in the literature (Biotechnology Letters, 2015, 37:2445-52.). 1 μg of pK18-ΔCgtR2 plasmid was electroporated into each of the prepared competent cells. 1 mL of preheated (46℃) TSB medium was added, and the cells were incubated at 46℃ for 6 min, then at 30℃ for 3 h.

[0125] Example 2: Construction of cgtR2 promoter strength characterization vector

[0126] In mycobacteria, the MprA-MprB system can be activated and upregulated in the addition of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) to induce transcription of itself and SigE. To verify the function of the CgtR2-CgtS2 system in Corynebacterium glutamicum, the inventors constructed a sigE promoter characterization vector and tested its response under cell membrane pressure conditions.

[0127] Based on the sequence of plasmid pEC-XK99E, amplification primers pEC-F and pEC-R were designed to amplify the pEC-XK99E plasmid backbone. Primers GFP-1 / 2 were designed to amplify a green fluorescent protein (gfp) gene DNA fragment containing the DNA sequence GGAGAAAATCGCACCGGAAATCCTGTTTTAGAGCTAGAAAGGAGTTGAGA, using the ATCC 13032::rfp::gfp genome as a template.

[0131] Example 3: Functional Study of CgtR2-CgtS2 System

[0132] SCgGC7 and SCgGC7-ΔCgtR2 competent cells were prepared using methods reported in the literature (Biotechnology Letters, 2015, 37: 2445-2452). 1 μg of pEC-RBS-gfp and pEC-P were then electroporated into the prepared competent cells, respectively. sigE The GFP characterization vector was added to 1 mL of preheated (46℃) TSB medium, incubated at 46℃ for 6 min, then at 30℃ for 2 h. The mixture was then spread onto TSB solid medium containing 25 μg / mL kanamycin and cultured at 30℃ for 1 day to obtain recombinant strains SCgGC7 / pEC-RBS-gfp, SCgGC7-ΔCgtR2 / pEC-RBS-gfp, and SCgGC7 / pEC-P. sigE -gfp、SCgGC7-ΔCgtR2 / pEC-P sigE -gfp.

[0133] The above-mentioned bacterial strains were inoculated into 24-well plates containing 800 μL of TSB liquid medium with or without 0.01% SDS per well, with three replicates for each strain. The plates were shaken at 800 rpm and incubated at 30°C for 24 h. The fluorescence intensity of the strains was then measured using a microplate reader. The excitation wavelength for fluorescence measurement was 488 nm, and the emission wavelength was 520 nm. Simultaneously, the OD of the bacterial culture was measured. 600 Calculate the fluorescence intensity RFU / OD of the strain. 600 .

[0134] OD values ​​of SCgGC7 / pEC-RBS-gfp and SCgGC7-ΔCgtR2 / pEC-RBS-gfp in different culture media 600 like Figure 1As shown, the CgtR2 knockout strain showed little difference in growth compared to the control strain under normal culture conditions, but its growth was significantly inhibited in the medium supplemented with 0.01% SDS, indicating that the CgtR2-CgtS2 system is very important for maintaining the growth of the strain under cell membrane pressure conditions.

[0135] The fluorescence detection results of the sigE promoter under different strains and culture conditions are shown in the figure. Figure 2 The results showed that under normal culture conditions, the transcriptional intensity of the sigE promoter in the CgtR2 knockout strain was significantly reduced, indicating that sigE transcription depends on the CgtR2-CgtS2 system. Under the stress condition of adding 0.01% SDS, the transcriptional level of the sigE promoter in the control strain increased by 2.97-fold, while the transcriptional level of the sigE promoter in the CgtR2 knockout strain remained low, indicating that the sigE promoter is activated by the CgtR2-CgtS2 system under cell membrane pressure. These results indicate that the CgtR2-CgtS2 system in Corynebacterium glutamicum also participates in the response and regulation of cell membrane pressure, and its modification may be beneficial to the synthesis and secretion of L amino acids.

[0136] Example 4: Effect of CgtR2-CgtS2 system inactivation on L-glutamic acid production

[0137] Since cell membrane pressure and permeability are crucial for L-glutamate secretion in Corynebacterium glutamicum, changes in cell membrane structure can activate glutamate efflux through changes in membrane pressure. Therefore, the inventors hypothesized that the absence of the CgtR2-CgtS2 system might affect L-glutamate secretion. To verify the effect of CgtR2 knockout on L-glutamate production, fermentation tests were conducted on the constructed SCgGC7-ΔCgtR2 strain, with strain SCgGC7 serving as a control.

[0138] Strains SCgGC7 and SCgGC7-ΔCgtR2 were inoculated into seed culture medium and cultured for 8 h. The cultures were then used as seed culture in 24-well plates containing 800 μL of fermentation medium per well. Initial OD 600 The control value was approximately 0.5, the shaker speed was 800 rpm, and each strain was cultured in triplicate at 30°C. Urea was added at 5 g / L after 23 h, and fermentation ended after 25 h. L-glutamic acid production and glucose consumption were measured, and the glucose-to-acid conversion rate was calculated. The results are shown in Table 3.

[0139] Table 3. L-Glutamic Acid Production and Sugar-Acid Conversion Rate

[0140] strain L-Glutamate (g / L) Sugar-acid conversion rate (g / g, %) SCgGC7 8.95±0.13 13.12±0.20 SCgGC7-ΔCgtR2 9.47±0.23 14.68±0.59

[0141] As shown in the table, knocking out CgtR2 can increase L-glutamate production and sugar-acid conversion rate, indicating that the loss of function of the CgtR2-CgtS2 binary system contributes to the synthesis or secretion of L-glutamate.

[0142] Example 5: Construction of CgtR2-CgtS2 system mutant strain

[0143] Furthermore, we found that in a high-L-glutamic acid-producing strain SL4 (Liu Jiao, et al., Mutations in Peptidoglycan Synthesis Gene ponimprove Electrotransformation Efficiency of Corynebacterium glutamicum ATCC13869. Appl. Environ. Microbiol., 2018, 84, e02225-02218.) screened by the inventors in the early stage, the 4th arginine of CgtR2 was replaced by leucine, the 198th glycine of CgtS2 was replaced by arginine, and the 380th glycine was replaced by leucine. Given that Example 2 has demonstrated that the deletion of CgtR2 can enhance the L-glutamic acid production of the strain, it is speculated that these mutants may also affect L-glutamic acid production.

[0161] Example 7: The effect of CgtS2 mutation on the CgtR2-CgtS2 system

[0162] To test the impact of mutants related to the CgtR2-CgtS2 system on its function, the inventors chose to target SCgGC7-CgtS2. G198R,G380W The growth of the strain under cell membrane stress conditions and the response of downstream regulatory promoters were tested.

[0163] SCgGC7-CgtS2 was prepared using methods reported in the literature. G198R,G380W Competent cells (Biotechnology Letters, 2015, 37: 2445-52.) were electroporated with 1 μg of pEC-RBS-gfp and pEC-P to the competent cells prepared above. sigE The -gfp characterization vector was added to 1 mL of preheated (46℃) TSB medium, incubated at 46℃ for 6 min, then at 30℃ for 2 h. The mixture was then spread onto TSB solid medium containing 25 μg / mL kanamycin and incubated at 30℃ for 1 day to obtain the characterization strain SCgGC7-CgtS2. G198R,G380W / pEC-RBS-gfp and SCgGC7-CgtS2 G198R,G380W / pEC-P sigE -gfp.

Under culture conditions with 0.01% SDS, the strain growth was significantly inhibited, indicating that the mutation weakens or inactivates the CgtR2-CgtS2 system. Fluorescence detection results of the sigE promoter in the CgtS2 mutant strain are shown in [Figure number missing]. Figure 4Compared with data from strains inactivated by the CgtR2-CgtS2 system, the CgtS2 mutation did not significantly affect the transcriptional activity of the sigE promoter; the transcriptional level decreased by only 4.65% under culture conditions with 0.01% SDS. In summary, this indicates that mutations in CgtR2 and CgtS2 may weaken the function of the CgtR2-CgtS2 system within the bacteria, leading to enhanced L-glutamate synthesis or secretion.
