Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of biotechnology, in particular to a chondroitin synthase mutant and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Chondroitin is a linear acidic polysaccharide composed of glucuronic acid and N-acetylgalactosamine as disaccharide units. The sugar chain structure of chondroitin is highly similar to that of hyaluronic acid, and it also has the functions of water absorption, moisturizing, and lubrication. At the same time, because the sugar chain structure is consistent with chondroitin sulfate, it is also used as an enzymatic modification substrate of chondroitin sulfate.

[0003] Chondroitin sulfate is a sulfonated glycosaminoglycan with important functions such as lubrication, analgesia, and promotion of cartilage regeneration. It is widely used in the fields of medicine and health care products. With the aging of the population, diseases such as bone and joints have become an important problem that plagues the health of the elderly. As an effective drug for the treatment of osteoarthritis, the market demand for chondroitin sulfate continues to expand. However, the chondroitin sulfate on the market is mainly obtained by substrate tissue extraction, which mainly extracts chondroitin sulfate naturally present in animal tissues through chemical processes. This method has the following problems: limited raw material sources, raw materials causing instability between product batches, extraction process causing environmental pollution, and product purity is difficult to reach medical levels. In response to the above problems, people have developed an enzymatic synthesis process for chondroitin sulfate, using microorganisms to efficiently produce chondroitin, and catalyzing chondroitin sulfate under the action of sulfonated enzymes. The chondroitin sulfate obtained by this method has the characteristics of a single structure, controllable sulfonation modification, sustainable production without raw material restrictions, and high purity of the obtained chondroitin sulfate. However, an important problem that limits this method is how to achieve large-scale preparation of substrate chondroitin.

[0004] In order to realize the production of chondroitin, people hope to use synthetic biology technology to construct the synthesis pathway of chondroitin in some microbial strains and prepare chondroitin in large quantities through microbial fermentation. However, the yield of chondroitin prepared by microbial fermentation in the existing technology is still low, and large-scale industrial production cannot be achieved. Summary of the invention

In addition, the present invention also overexpresses N-acetylglucosamine epimerase, 6-phosphoglucosamine synthetase, 6-phosphoglucosamine synthetase and udg enzyme, and constructs the overexpressed enzyme into a protein polymer through CipA protein, thereby improving the synthesis efficiency of chondroitin, and the chondroitin yield obtained by fermentation in a 5L fermenter is about 10.5g / L.

[0049] Example 1: Construction of recombinant Corynebacterium glutamicum

[0050] (1) Construction of chondroitin synthesis pathway

[0051] On the basis of the chondroitin synthase pmCS whose amino acid sequence is shown in SEQ ID NO.1, the amino acids at positions 200, 279 and 346 of the chondroitin synthase pmCS were subjected to compound mutation using E200Q-F, E200Q-R, L279E-F, L279E-R, F346E-F and F346E-R to obtain the mutant pmCS1. On the basis of the mutant pmCS1, the chondroitin synthase mutant pmCS1 was truncated using NpmCS1-F, NpmCS1-R, CpmCS1-F and CpmCS1-R as primers respectively to obtain the chondroitin synthase mutants NpmCS1, CpmCS1 and NCpmCS1.

[0052] The gene sequences of chondroitin synthase pmCS and chondroitin synthase mutants NpmCS1, CpmCS1, NCpmCS1 and N-acetylglucosamine epimerase kfoA were ligated to plasmid pXMJ (the primers used for chondroitin synthase pmCS were pmCS-F and pmCS-R, and the primers used for N-acetylglucosamine epimerase kfoA were KfoA-F and KfoA-R, and the specific sequences are shown in Table 1).

The recombinant plasmids were transferred into Corynebacterium pekinensis to obtain recombinant strains BJ-01, BJ-02, BJ-03 and BJ-04, which were fermented and cultured. The chondroitin content results were shown in Figure 2 shown.

The two were connected by a GS linker and connected to the plasmid pECXK99E to obtain the plasmid pECXK99E-ugd-glmS. The plasmid pECXK99E-ugd-glmS and plasmid pXMJ-NCpmCS1-kfoA were transformed into Beijing bacterium by electrotransformation. The electrotransformation conditions were a voltage of 1.5 KV and 5 ms (the width of the electric shock cup was 1 mm).

The strain was cultured at 30°C for 10 hours, inoculated in a 250mL triangular shake flask with an inoculum size of 1%, cultured for 10 hours, and then inoculated in a 5L fermenter with an inoculum size of 20%.
