Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of genetic engineering, and particularly relates to an engineering strain for producing uridine diphosphate, a construction method thereof, and a method for synthesizing rebaudioside M. Background Art
[0002] Rebaudioside M is a natural sweetener extracted from Stevia rebaudiana, and its sweetness is about 300-400 times that of sucrose, and it has no bitterness and aftertaste, and is widely used in various fields such as food, health products, and medicine. In the prior art, methods for obtaining rebaudioside M include plant extraction method, fermentation method, enzyme conversion method, etc. Among them, the plant extraction method mainly extracts from Stevia rebaudiana by water or ethanol, but the content of natural rebaudioside M in the leaves of Stevia rebaudiana is low, only accounting for 0.4-0.5% of the dry weight of the Stevia rebaudiana leaves, which limits industrial production. When producing rebaudioside M by fermentation method, traditional engineering strains are used for fermentation. For example, Saccharomyces cerevisiae fermentation method is used to synthesize rebaudioside M. The fermentation of Saccharomyces cerevisiae requires 144 h, and the yield of rebaudioside M is only 67 mg / L, which has the problems of long fermentation time and low yield.
[0003] In addition, in the prior art, there are two conversion methods for producing rebaudioside M by enzyme conversion method. One is to use a crude enzyme solution containing sucrose synthase and glycosyltransferase to generate rebaudioside M in one pot with rebaudioside D, UDP, MgCl2, and phosphate buffer. This method uses UDP and rebaudioside D as raw materials, and has the problem of relatively high production cost. The other uses steviol glycoside and sucrose as raw materials and generates rebaudioside M through whole-cell catalysis of recombinant cells for 20 h. In this method, the yield of uridine diphosphate produced by the engineering strain is only 15.137 mmol / L, and the yield of uridine diphosphate is low, resulting in a low yield of rebaudioside M. Summary of the Invention
[0004] In view of this, the purpose of the present invention is to provide an engineering strain for producing uridine diphosphate, a construction method thereof, and a method for synthesizing rebaudioside M, so as to overcome the technical problems of low yield of uridine diphosphate and insufficient high yield of rebaudioside M in the prior art.
[0005] In the first aspect, the present invention provides an engineering strain for producing uridine diphosphate, and the engineering strain for producing uridine diphosphate integrates the following genes on the genome:
[0006] Pyrimidine nucleoside operon genes pyrBCAKDFE, carbonic anhydrase gene cynT, carbamoyl phosphate synthetase genes pyrAA / AB E951* , aspartate carbamoyltransferase gene pyrB, orotate phosphoribosyltransferase gene pyrE, phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate synthase gene prs D128A , uridylate kinase gene pyrHD93A 。
[0007] The engineered strain for producing uridine diphosphate has the following genes deleted from its genome:
[0008] The lactose operon regulatory gene lacI, the repressor protein genes purR, pepA and argR, the homoserine dehydrogenase gene thrA, the ornithine carbamoyltransferase gene argF, the uridine diphosphate kinase gene udk, the nucleotide hydrolase genes ushA, surE, yjjG and yrfG, the pyrimidine nucleotide hydrolase gene ygdH, and the global transcriptional regulatory gene arcA.
[0009] Compared with the prior art, the engineered strain for producing uridine diphosphate in the present invention has specific genes integrated into and deleted from its genome, thereby regulating the metabolism of the engineered strain, enabling it to efficiently produce uridine diphosphate (UDP), and further increasing the yield of UDP, specifically as follows:
[0010] Enhancing the supply of the important precursor UMP: The pyrimidine nucleoside operon genes PyrBCAKDFE that can relieve the feedback inhibition of UMP are integrated into the genome of the engineered strain, strengthening the metabolism from glutamine to UMP. The carbonic anhydrase gene cynT is integrated into the genome of the engineered strain, strengthening the metabolism of the reaction of CO2 and H2O to generate HCO3 - The carbamoyl phosphate synthetase gene pyrAA / AB is integrated into the genome of the engineered strain E951* , in which the glutamic acid at position 951 of the large subunit of carbamoyl phosphate synthetase is deleted, thereby relieving the feedback regulation of uridylic acid and strengthening the metabolism of glutamine to synthesize carbamoyl phosphate. The aspartate carbamoyltransferase gene pyrB is integrated into the genome of the engineered strain, strengthening the metabolism of aspartate and carbamoyl phosphate to synthesize carbamoyl aspartic acid. The orotate phosphoribosyltransferase gene pyrE is integrated into the genome of the engineered strain, strengthening the metabolism of PRPP (5-phosphoribosyl-1-pyrophosphate) and orotate to generate orotidine monophosphate. The phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate synthase gene prs is integrated into the genome of the engineered strain D128A , and the aspartic acid at position 128 of this enzyme is mutated to alanine, thereby relieving the feedback inhibition of ATP and ADP on phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate synthase and strengthening the metabolism of 5-phosphoribose and ATP to generate PRPP. The purine nucleotide repressor gene purR is deleted from the genome of the engineered strain, and further relieves the binding of the repressor protein and the purine repressor to prs D128AFeedback inhibition of gene expression. The pepA gene and argR gene are deleted from the genome of the engineered strain, thereby relieving the inhibition of the carbamoyl phosphate-encoding gene operon by the repressor proteins encoded by the pepA gene and the argR gene. The homoserine dehydrogenase gene thrA is deleted from the genome of the engineered strain, blocking the metabolism of L-aspartic acid dehydrogenation to homoserine. The ornithine carbamoyltransferase gene argF is deleted from the genome of the engineered strain, blocking the metabolism of the carbamoyl group of carbamoyl phosphate transferring to ornithine to produce citrulline.
[0011] Blocking the branched metabolism of the precursor UMP: In Escherichia coli, UMP has two metabolic pathways, namely uridine and uridine diphosphate. The engineered strain for producing uridine diphosphate in the present invention lacks the pyrimidine nucleotidase gene ygdH, and lacks the nucleotide hydrolase genes ushA, surE, yjjG, and yrfG, successfully weakening the metabolism of UMP to uridine and uracil, and then converting the metabolism of UMP to uridine into the metabolism of UMP to UDP.
[0012] Blocking the phosphorylation metabolism of UDP: Uridine diphosphate kinase in Escherichia coli affects the accumulation of uridine diphosphate. Uridine diphosphate is phosphorylated by uridine diphosphate kinase to produce uridine triphosphate. The engineered strain of uridine diphosphate in the present invention lacks the uridine diphosphate kinase gene udk, thereby blocking the phosphorylation reaction of the product UDP and promoting the accumulation of UDP.
[0013] Optimizing the synthetic metabolism of UDP: On the basis of relieving the feedback inhibition of UDP, the uridylate kinase gene pyrH is integrated into the genome of the engineered strain for producing uridine diphosphate in the present invention D93A and reasonably strengthening the metabolism of UMP to UDP.
[0014] Accelerating the TCA cycle and weakening the coupling flux of PRdnBP (de novo biosynthesis pathway of pyrimidine ribonucleoside) and acetate metabolism: The global transcriptional regulatory gene arcA is deleted from the genome of the engineered strain, weakening the coupling flux of PRdnBP and acetate metabolism, reducing acetate production, relieving the inhibition of arcA on TCA, and accelerating the TCA cycle, reducing carbon metabolic loss.
[0015] The lactose operon regulatory gene lacI is deleted from the genetically engineered strain of the present invention, which can relieve the feedback repression of the Ptrc promoter by the lacI repressor protein and avoid the normal regulation of the integrated gene by the repressor protein inhibiting the Ptrc promoter.

[0036] Second aspect, the present invention provides a method for constructing an engineered strain for constructing the above-mentioned engineered strain, comprising the following steps:

[0046] Compared with the prior art, the gene operations involved in constructing the engineered strain for producing uridine diphosphate in the present invention are all carried out on the genome, without plasmid residues, without the use of antibiotics and inducers. The finally obtained engineered strain for producing uridine diphosphate has clear and stable genetic traits, stable production performance, and a simple fermentation process.
[0047] Furthermore, the integrated genes are all controlled by the strong promoter Ptrc, and the gene sequence of the strong promoter Ptrc is as shown in SEQ ID NO. 21.
[0048] Third aspect, the present invention provides a method for synthesizing rebaudioside M, comprising the following steps:
[0049] Ferment and culture the above-mentioned engineered strain for producing uridine diphosphate to obtain the fermented engineered strain for producing uridine diphosphate.
[0050] Ferment and culture the functional protein expression recombinant strain to obtain the fermented functional protein expression recombinant strain.
[0051] The engineered strain producing uridine diphosphate and the recombinant strain expressing functional protein after fermentation are configured into the following reaction system: potassium dihydrogen phosphate 2.0 - 2.5 g / L, dipotassium hydrogen phosphate 25 - 35 g / L, ammonium sulfate 3.0 - 3.5 g / L, magnesium chloride 2.0 - 2.5 g / L, glycerol 8 - 12 g / L, CTAB 2.0 - 2.5 g / L, the engineered strain producing uridine diphosphate after fermentation 25 - 40 g / L, the recombinant strain expressing functional protein after fermentation 100 - 130 g / L, sucrose 100 - 200 g / L, rebaudioside A 50 - 80 g / L.
[0052] React the above reaction system under the conditions of pH value 6.5 - 7.5 and temperature 36.5 - 37.5 for 18 - 24 h. After the reaction, dilute the reaction solution by 100 - 200 times and centrifuge to obtain the supernatant containing rebaudioside M.
[0053] Compared with the prior art, the reaction system configured with the engineered strain producing uridine diphosphate and the recombinant strain expressing functional protein after fermentation of the present invention can efficiently convert rebaudioside A into rebaudioside M, further improving the yield and conversion rate of rebaudioside M.

[0057] Ferment and culture the recombinant strain expressing functional protein to obtain the recombinant strain expressing functional protein after fermentation.
[0058] Among them, the host strain is Escherichia coli; the Escherichia coli is Escherichia coli BL21(DE3).
[0059] In the above technical solution, the susy gene can encode sucrose synthase, and sucrose synthase can use sucrose and UDP as substrates to produce fructose and UDPG; the EUGT11 gene can encode a glycosyltransferase, and this glycosyltransferase can transfer the glucose group in UDPG to rebaudioside A to generate rebaudioside D and UDP; the SrUGT76G4 gene can encode another glycosyltransferase, and this glycosyltransferase has a preference for the C19 position of steviol glycosides, forming a β-1,3-glycosidic bond at the C19 position, so that this glycosyltransferase can use UDPG and rebaudioside D as substrates to catalyze the production of rebaudioside M and UDP.
[0060] In addition, all gene operations involved in the recombinant strain expressing the functional protein constructed in the present invention are carried out on the pET28A plasmid, which carries kanamycin resistance. The finally obtained recombinant strain of the functional protein has clear and stable genetic traits, stable production performance, and a simple fermentation process.
[0061] Furthermore, the sucrose synthase gene susy is derived from Nitrosomonas polymorphis, tobacco or Arabidopsis thaliana.
[0062] The uridine diphosphate glycosyltransferase gene EUGT11 is derived from Stevia rebaudiana.
[0063] The uridine diphosphate glycosyltransferase gene SrUGT76G4 is derived from Stevia rebaudiana.
[0064] Furthermore, the recombinant strain expressing the functional protein is fermented and cultured, including the following steps:
[0065] Take the bacterial liquid of the recombinant strain expressing the functional protein, evenly coat it on the LB medium containing kanamycin, culture it at 36.5 - 37.5 °C for 8 - 10 h, pick a single colony and inoculate it into the seed medium containing kanamycin, and culture it at a temperature of 36.5 - 37.5 °C and a pH value of 6.5 - 7.5 for 5 - 8 h to obtain a seed liquid.
[0066] Inoculate the seed liquid into the fermentation medium containing kanamycin, ferment and culture it at a temperature of 36.5 - 37.5 °C and a pH value of 6.5 - 7.5. When the OD value reaches 10 - 20, lower the temperature to 25 - 30 °C, supplement and flow the medium to control the glucose concentration within 1 g / L, and continue to ferment and culture for 24 - 30 h.
[0067] After the fermentation is completed, centrifuge the obtained fermentation broth, discard the supernatant, and obtain the recombinant strain expressing the functional protein after fermentation.
[0068] Furthermore, the engineering strain producing uridine diphosphate is fermented and cultured, including the following steps:
[0069] Take the bacterial solution of the engineered strain for producing uridine diphosphate, coat it on the LB medium, culture it at 36.5 - 37.5 °C for 8 - 10 h, pick a single bacterium and inoculate it into the seed medium, and culture it at a temperature of 36.5 - 37.5 °C and a pH value of 6.5 - 7.5 for 5 - 8 h to obtain the seed solution.
[0070] Inoculate the seed solution into the fermentation medium, and after fermenting and culturing at a temperature of 36.5 - 37.5 °C and a pH value of 6.5 - 7.5 for 10 - 12 h, add glucose using a feedback pulse feeding strategy, and continue fermenting and culturing for 36 - 40 h.
[0071] After the fermentation is completed, centrifuge the obtained fermentation broth, discard the supernatant, and obtain the engineered strain for producing uridine diphosphate after fermentation.
[0072] Furthermore, the feedback pulse feeding strategy for adding glucose is as follows:
[0073] Set the pulse rate of feeding on the feeding pump to 1 / 18 - 1 / 15 s. When the dissolved oxygen value is higher than 35%, the feeding pump automatically starts to add a glucose solution of 700 - 800 g / L. When the dissolved oxygen value is lower than 25%, the feeding pump automatically shuts off. Description of the Drawings
