Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of genetic engineering and relates to a plasmid pHT01-P 43 -CI 857 -P R -PdxT-PdxS and its preparation method and application. Background Art

[0002] Pyridoxal phosphate (PLP) is the biologically active form of vitamin B6. It participates in the metabolism of amino compounds and acts as a cofactor in more than 150 enzymatic reactions. Enzymes that use it as a coenzyme are called PLP-dependent enzymes, which account for approximately 4% of known enzymes.

[0003] Currently, vitamins on the market are mainly sold in the form of pyridoxine hydrochloride, and the synthesis method is mainly chemical synthesis. There are many methods for chemically synthesizing vitamin B6, such as the pyridone method, the alkynyl ether method, and the oxazole method. However, chemical synthesis has problems such as complex steps, reaction conditions, and chemical raw materials that pose a great threat to the environment during the production process. Therefore, microbial synthesis methods with milder reaction conditions and more environmentally friendly production processes are more attractive than chemical synthesis methods.

[0004] Vitamin B6 contains six compounds, and there are two synthetic pathways in organisms. They are the 5-phosphate deoxyxylulose (DXP) dependent pathway and the DXP independent pathway. Among the microorganisms that can produce vitamin B6, the metabolic pathway of Bacillus subtilis is clear, and there are many studies on its metabolic transformation. It has been widely used in the production of industrial enzymes and chemicals. Bacillus subtilis grows faster and has a strong ability to secrete homologous proteins, which is conducive to large-scale fermentation. In addition, Bacillus subtilis is a biosafe microorganism that meets the safety microorganisms recognized by the US Food and Drug Administration, so it is suitable as a starting strain for the production of vitamin B6. The natural production pathway of vitamin B6 in Bacillus subtilis is a DXP-independent pathway, which involves two rate-limiting enzymes PdxS and PdxT, and the direct product is pyridoxal phosphate PLP. However, in the process of using Bacillus subtilis to produce pyridoxal phosphate, the expression levels of the key enzymes PdxS and PdxT and their regulatory mechanisms become key factors restricting production.

[0005] During the transformation of the strain, the temperature-sensitive element λCI 857 / P R Widely used, variant CI from the CI gene of λ phage 857 and its corresponding P R The promoter can respond to temperature changes. 857 Forms dimers and binds to the promoter to block transcription; at high temperatures, CI 857The inactivated dimer disengages from the promoter binding site, turning on gene transcription.
