Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the fields of bioengineering and microbial fermentation, and in particular to a construction method of a high-yield nucleoside strain and its application. Background Art

[0002] Nucleoside is a general term for a class of glycosides. Nucleoside is a component of nucleic acid and nucleotide. Nucleoside is formed by the condensation of D-ribose or DZ-deoxyribose with pyrimidine base or purine base. Nucleoside is generally a colorless crystal, insoluble in common organic solvents, easily soluble in hot water, with a melting point of 160-240°C. Nucleosides generated from D-ribose are called ribonucleosides, which participate in the composition of RNA, and nucleosides generated from D-α-deoxyribose are called deoxyribonucleosides, which participate in the composition of DNA. D-ribose condenses with adenine, guanine, cytosine, thymine or uracil to generate the corresponding adenine ribonucleoside, guanine ribonucleoside, cytosine ribonucleoside, thymine ribonucleoside and uracil ribonucleoside, which are respectively referred to as adenosine (A), guanosine (G), cytidine (C), thymidine (T) and uridine (U).

[0003] Guanosine (guanosine) and inosine (inosine) play a wide range of roles in the food and pharmaceutical industries. In the food field, guanosine and inosine are important precursors of disodium guanylate and disodium inosinate, respectively. Disodium guanylate and disodium inosinate are used in combination as food flavor enhancers, and are widely used in condiments such as chicken essence and soy sauce. In the pharmaceutical field, guanosine and inosine can be used as pharmaceutical intermediates for a variety of antiviral drugs, such as acyclovir, triazole nucleoside, and sodium guanosine triphosphate, which all require guanosine as a synthetic raw material. Inosine is an important precursor of inosinic acid, and inosinic acid can be used as a precursor for the synthesis of adenosine (AMP) and guanylate (GMP), which is suitable for leukopenia, thrombocytopenia, various heart diseases, acute and chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis, etc. caused by various reasons. In addition, it can also treat central retinitis and optic atrophy.

[0004] Adenosine is adenine nucleoside, and its chemical name is 6-amino-9-β-D-ribofuranosyl-9-hydrogen purine. It is the product of adenine nucleotide dephosphorylation and is an important nucleotide derivative. Adenosine is an endogenous nucleoside that is found throughout human cells. It can directly enter the myocardium and generate adenosine acid through phosphorylation, and participate in myocardial energy metabolism. It also participates in dilating coronary vessels and increasing blood flow. Adenosine has physiological effects on the cardiovascular system and many other systems and tissues of the body. In addition to being used as a specific drug for treating the heart, adenosine is also an important intermediate for the synthesis of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), adenine, adenosine acid, and adenosine arabinoside, and is widely used in the pharmaceutical and other industries.

[0005] At present, microbial fermentation is the main method for producing nucleosides, and the main microorganisms used include Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus amyloliquefaciens or Bacillus pumilus. In the process of selecting and transforming the growing strains, ultraviolet mutagenesis and diethyl sulfate mutagenesis breeding are used to selectively select high-yielding strains of nucleosides; or according to the metabolic pathways and regulatory mechanisms of nucleotides in bacteria, the genetic background and characteristics of the strains are deeply understood, and the strains are purposefully transformed through metabolic engineering methods to obtain production strains with excellent traits and high nucleoside production. However, the fermentation performance of nucleoside strains is still poor, and the conversion rate of nucleosides is still low, which cannot meet the needs of large-scale industrial production.

[0016] In a second aspect, the present invention provides a method for constructing a nucleoside-producing strain, the method comprising: utilizing genetic engineering means to inactivate or weaken the coding gene of the transcriptional repressor ccpN in the microorganism.

[0032] By means of the above technical solution, the present invention has at least the following advantages and beneficial effects:

[0033] The present invention provides a Bacillus subtilis or Bacillus amyloliquefaciens, wherein the initiation codon of a gene encoding a transcriptional repressor ccpN in the cell is weakened GTG→TTG (or other methods so that the activity of the protein encoded by ccpN is reduced compared with the wild type) or the gene fragment is deleted (or other methods so that the protein encoded by ccpN is inactive), so that the ability of the strain to produce nucleosides is enhanced compared with that of an unmodified strain.

[0034] Mutant strain B. subtilis A0057 (ccpN G1T The adenosine production of the mutant strains B.subtilis A0058 (ccpN strain) and B.subtilis A0059 (△ccpN strain) increased from 5.1 g / L to 5.9 g / L and 6.2 g / L, respectively, and the inosine production increased from 0.8 g / L to 1.1 g / L and 1.4 g / L, respectively, compared with the starting strain B.subtilis 168.

[0035] The above mutations can be applied to Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus amyloliquefaciens, but are not limited to the above two strains.

In order to prove whether the ccpN-related mutation affects the transcription level of pckA, the engineered strains (B. subtilis A0057-60, B.a8429-30) and their corresponding control strains (B. subtilis 168, B. subtilis A5, Ba 836) obtained above were cultured overnight in LB medium, the cells were collected, and total RNA was extracted according to the instructions of the kit TakaRa RNAiso Plus Code No.9108, and the kit TakaRa PrimeScript TM RT reagent Kit Code No.RR037A instructions for reverse transcription, transcribe RNA into cDNA, and finally follow the kit TakaRa TB Premix Ex Taq TM II Code No.RR820A instruction manual to prepare the PCR reaction system (primers: pckA-F / R and B8pckA-F / R), perform Real Time PCR reaction and data analysis.

[0054] The results of the determination of pckA transcription levels are shown in Table 2. From the results, it can be seen that the transcription levels of pckA in the engineered strains B. subtilis A0057 and B. subtilis A0058 are 6.3 and 6.1 times that of the control strains, respectively; the transcription levels of pckA in the engineered strains B. subtilis A0059 and B. subtilis A0060 are 8.7 and 8.6 times that of the control strains, respectively; the transcription levels of pckA in the engineered strains Ba 8429 and B.a430 are 5.8 and 7.1 times that of the control strain Ba 836, respectively.
