Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of bioengineering, and in particular to a genetically engineered bacterium for producing cyanidin 3-O-galactoside and an application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Cyanidin 3-O-galactoside (C3Ga), as a natural pigment, is not only favored by the food industry for its bright color, but also has become a hot spot in scientific research for its rich physiological activity. C3Ga has a unique chemical structure and its molecular formula is C 21 H 21 O 11 + , molecular weight is 449.38, and its specific chemical name is 2-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-5,7-dihydroxychrome-3-yl β-D-galactoside. This structural feature gives it excellent water solubility and diverse biological activities.

[0003] The antioxidant properties of C3Ga are particularly outstanding. It can effectively remove free radicals in the body, increase the activity of antioxidant enzymes, inhibit lipid peroxidation, and thus protect cells from oxidative stress damage. This feature gives it broad application prospects in the fields of health products, cosmetics, and functional foods. In addition, C3Ga has also been found to have significant anti-inflammatory effects, which can reduce inflammatory responses and promote tissue repair; its anti-cancer potential should not be underestimated. Through mechanisms such as regulating the cell cycle, inhibiting tumor cell proliferation, and inducing apoptosis, it shows its potential as an anti-cancer adjuvant drug. For diabetic patients, C3Ga can provide new ideas for the treatment of diabetes by regulating blood sugar levels and improving insulin resistance. More importantly, C3Ga can also protect the nervous system and fight against neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease, showing neuroprotective functions.

[0004] In view of the various health benefits of C3Ga, it has been approved as a food ingredient by food safety regulatory agencies in many countries and regions. C3Ga is widely used in the processing of dairy products, beverages, alcoholic beverages, candies, cakes and other foods, which not only adds to the color appeal of the products, but more importantly, enhances the nutritional value and health attributes of the products, meeting the growing demand of consumers for healthy food.

[0005] Although C3Ga has broad application prospects, its existing production method - plant extraction - faces many challenges. First, the cost of plant raw materials is high and is greatly affected by regional, seasonal and climate changes, resulting in unstable raw material supply and large price fluctuations. Secondly, the extraction process is complicated and requires multiple chemical reactions and separation and purification steps. It not only has high energy consumption, but also has low extraction efficiency. Product quality is also easily affected by operating conditions. In addition, the chemical stability of C3Ga is relatively poor, and it is easily degraded by factors such as light, heat, and pH value, which further increases the difficulty and cost of quality control in the production process.

[0006] In order to overcome the limitations of plant extraction methods, researchers began to explore the possibility of producing C3Ga by biosynthesis. Biosynthesis is regarded as an important direction for the future production of natural products due to its advantages of high efficiency, environmental protection and sustainability. At present, there have been reports on the successful synthesis of cyanidin 3-O-glucoside (another anthocyanin) by microorganisms, and related patents have been applied for. However, for C3Ga, although its structure is similar to that of cyanidin 3-O-glucoside, due to the differences in glycosylation position and sugar chain type, its biosynthetic pathway and regulatory mechanism are more complicated. So far, there has been no successful case report of direct synthesis of C3Ga by microorganisms. Summary of the invention

[0058] Example 2 Analysis of the ability of recombinant Escherichia coli to synthesize cyanidin 3-O-galactoside

[0059] 1. This example uses the recombinant E. coli BL21(DE3)-C3Ga-Ph, BL21(DE3)-C3Ga-Pc, BL21(DE3)-C3Ga-Md, BL21(DE3)-C3Ga-Vc, and BL21(DE3)-C3Ga-Vv prepared in Example 1 for analysis. The recombinant E. coli is streaked on LB solid medium and cultured overnight at 37°C. A single clone is picked and inoculated into 2 ml LB liquid medium and cultured overnight at 37°C and 220 rpm. The initial OD 600 Inoculate 20 ml LB medium at 0.1 and culture at 37°C and 220 rpm until OD 600When the pH value is 0.6-0.8, add IPTG at a final concentration of 1 mM for induction, and culture at 30°C 200 rpm for 3 hours. Then collect the bacterial solution, centrifuge at 4000 rpm for 5 minutes, discard the supernatant, add 4 ml of catalytic reaction solution to resuspend the bacteria, take 320 μl and place it in a 14 ml shaking tube, add (+)-catechin at a final concentration of 0.5 mM as a substrate for catalysis, and incubate at 30°C 200 rpm for 24 hours.

[0060] The catalytic reaction liquid has the following components: ammonium chloride 1g / L, ammonium sulfate 2.7g / L, disodium hydrogen phosphate 6.8g / L, potassium dihydrogen phosphate 3g / L, sodium chloride 0.6g / L, magnesium sulfate heptahydrate 0.2g / L, vitamin B1 10mg / L, zinc sulfate heptahydrate 5mg / L, manganese sulfate 1mg / L, cobalt chloride hexahydrate 0.5mg / L, copper sulfate pentahydrate 0.5mg / L, sodium molybdate 0.5mg / L, boric acid 0.2mg / L, L-sodium ascorbate 0.5g / L, ferrous sulfate heptahydrate 2.8mg / L, α-ketoglutaric acid 14.6mg / L, orotic acid 15.6g / L and glutamic acid 2mg / L.

[0061] 2. After incubation, the reaction solution was centrifuged at 12000rpm for 5 minutes, and the supernatant was used for extracellular yield analysis. The precipitate was added with 1% hydrochloric acid solution for ultrasonic extraction and centrifuged again. The supernatant was used for intracellular yield analysis. The sum of extracellular and intracellular yields was the total yield. The qualitative results of liquid chromatography and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry were as follows Figure 8 As shown, recombinant Escherichia coli can synthesize cyanidin 3-O-galactoside using (+)-catechin as substrate. Fig. 9 The results showed that anthocyanin synthases from different sources had different catalytic activities towards the substrate catechins. The C3Ga yield of the strain BL21(DE3)-C3Ga-Md corresponding to the anthocyanin synthase from apple was the lowest, only 2.64 mg / L, while the C3Ga yield of the strain BL21(DE3)-C3Ga-Vv corresponding to the anthocyanin synthase from grape was the highest, reaching 19.92 mg / L. The yields of the two differed by 6.5 times.

[0062] Example 3 Analysis of cyanidin 3-O-galactoside production by recombinant Escherichia coli at different induction temperatures and induction times

[0063] 1. This example uses the recombinant E. coli BL21(DE3)-C3Ga-Vv-2 prepared in Example 1 for analysis. The recombinant E. coli is streaked on LB solid medium and cultured overnight at 37°C. A single clone is picked and inoculated into 2 ml LB liquid medium and cultured overnight at 37°C and 220 rpm. The initial OD 600 Inoculate 20 ml LB medium at 0.1 and culture at 37°C and 220 rpm until OD 600When the pH value is 0.6-0.8, add IPTG at a final concentration of 1mM for induction. Cultivate at 18℃ and 30℃ at 200rpm for 24h. Then collect the bacterial liquid at 3h, 9h and 24h, centrifuge at 4000rpm for 5min, discard the supernatant, add 4ml of catalytic reaction liquid to resuspend the bacteria, take 320μl and place it in a 14ml shaking bacterial tube, add (+)-catechin at a final concentration of 2mM as a substrate for catalysis, and incubate at 30℃ at 200rpm for 24h.

[0064] 2. After incubation, the reaction solution was centrifuged at 12000rpm for 5 minutes, and the supernatant was used for extracellular yield analysis. The precipitate was added with 1% hydrochloric acid solution and ultrasonically extracted, and then centrifuged again, and the supernatant was used for intracellular yield analysis. The sum of extracellular and intracellular yields was the total yield.

[0065] like Fig.10 As shown in the figure, the yield of cyanidin 3-O-galactoside was significantly different under different induction temperatures and times. Under 30°C, as the induction time increased, the C3Ga yield gradually decreased, and the highest was 42.02 mg / L at 3 hours of induction. Under 18°C, as the induction time increased, the C3Ga yield gradually increased, and the highest was 134.46 mg / L at 24 hours of induction. By optimizing the induction temperature and time, the yield of cyanidin 3-O-galactoside was increased to 3.2 times before optimization.

[0066] Example 4 Analysis of cyanidin 3-O-galactoside production by recombinant Escherichia coli at different catalytic temperatures

[0067] 1. This example uses the recombinant E. coli BL21(DE3)-C3Ga-Vv-2 prepared in Example 1 for analysis. The recombinant E. coli is streaked on LB solid medium and cultured overnight at 37°C. A single clone is picked and inoculated into 2 ml LB liquid medium and cultured overnight at 37°C and 220 rpm. The initial OD 600 Inoculate 20 ml LB medium at 0.1 and culture at 37°C and 220 rpm until OD 600 When the pH value is 0.6-0.8, add IPTG at a final concentration of 1mM for induction. Cultivate at 18℃ 200rpm for 24h. Then collect the bacterial solution, centrifuge at 4000rpm for 5min, discard the supernatant, add 4ml of catalytic reaction solution to resuspend the bacteria, take 320μl and place it in a 14ml shaking tube, add (+)-catechin at a final concentration of 2mM as a substrate for catalysis, and incubate at 20℃, 25℃ and 30℃ at 200rpm for 24h.

[0068] 2. After incubation, the reaction solution was centrifuged at 12000rpm for 5 minutes, and the supernatant was used for extracellular yield analysis. The precipitate was added with 1% hydrochloric acid solution and ultrasonically extracted, and then centrifuged again, and the supernatant was used for intracellular yield analysis. The sum of extracellular and intracellular yields was the total yield.

[0069] like Fig.11 As shown in the figure, the catalytic temperature has a significant effect on the yield of cyanidin 3-O-galactoside of recombinant Escherichia coli. The C3Ga yield shows a trend of increasing first and then decreasing as the catalytic temperature decreases. The yield is the highest at a catalytic temperature of 25°C, reaching 173.43 mg / L, which is 28.9% higher than the yield before temperature optimization. The above results show that the C3Ga yield can be further increased by optimizing the catalytic temperature.
