Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of microbial synthesis, and in particular to the application of genes in heterologous synthesis of deacetylcephalosporin C, plasmids and strains. Background Art

[0002] Cephalosporin C (CPC) is a secondary metabolite produced by the filamentous fungus Acremonium chrysogenum and belongs to the β-lactam antibiotics. CPC is not easily destroyed by penicillinase and has the advantages of strong stability, broad antibacterial spectrum and low toxicity. After hydrolysis of CPC to remove the aminoadipoyl group on the side chain, 7-aminocephalosporanic acid (7-ACA) is obtained. 7-ACA is an intermediate of cephalosporin antibiotics widely used in clinical practice.

[0003] D-7-ACA (3-deacetyl-7-aminocephalosporanic acid) is a new intermediate of cephalosporin antibiotics. The acetyl group at the 3-position of 7-ACA is removed. In the process of synthesizing some cephalosporin antibiotics, D-7-ACA can simplify the production process route, has the characteristics of simple modification, easy purification, good quality of finished products, and can reduce production costs. The development of D-7-ACA will provide a new choice for the development of the synthesis of third-generation, fourth-generation and fifth-generation cephalosporin antibiotics in my country. For example, the application of D-7-ACA in cephalosporin antibiotic products such as cefuroxime, cefoxitin, and cefpodoxime has the characteristics of high yield and excellent quality.

[0004] At present, the enzymatic production of D-7-ACA has been basically realized in China. Its production process route is to use CPC as raw material, perform enzymatic cleavage, and crystallize the cleavage liquid to obtain D-7-ACA. Deacetylcephalosporin C (DCPC) obtained by bacterial fermentation and separation and purification can be directly used to produce D-7-ACA through enzymatic process. At present, there is no report on high-yield strains obtained by heterologous expression of DCPC in China. Summary of the invention

[0005] In view of this, the present invention provides an engineered strain of Aspergillus nidulans AnDCPC-1, which is obtained by transferring plasmids pDCPC-1, pDCPC-2 and pDCPC-3 into Aspergillus nidulans A1145.

[0006] Further, the plasmid pDCPC-1 is as follows Figure 1 shown.

[0007] Further, the plasmid pDCPC-2 is as follows Figure 2 shown.

[0008] Further, the plasmid pDCPC-3 is as follows Figure 3 shown.

[0009] The invention also provides the application of the Aspergillus nidulans engineered strain AnDCPC-1 in producing DCPC by fermentation.

[0010] The present invention aims at an Aspergillus nidulans engineered strain for heterologous synthesis of deacetylcephalosporin C. The biosynthetic genes pcbAB, pcbC, cefD1, cefD2 and cefEF, and the transporter genes cefM, cefP and cefT in the cephalosporin C biosynthetic gene cluster in the genome of Cephalosporin Acremonium are simultaneously co-expressed and over-expressed in Aspergillus nidulans to obtain strain AnDCPC-1. The biosynthetic pathway of deacetylcephalosporin C is successfully opened in Aspergillus nidulans, and the heterologous expression of deacetylcephalosporin C is achieved. The yield reaches 0.595 g / L at the shake flask level. The present invention realizes the synthesis of deacetylcephalosporin C in Aspergillus nidulans for the first time. The strain constructed by the present invention provides a good expression system for the heterologous synthesis of deacetylcephalosporin C and the exploration of the synthesis and high-yield mechanism of deacetylcephalosporin C in Cephalosporin Acremonium.

[0030] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with embodiments:

[0031] Example 1: Construction of plasmids pDCPC-1, pDCPC-2 and pDCPC-3 required for producing deacetylcephalosporin C strains

[0032] 1. Extraction of Cephalosporium acremonium genomic DNA

[0033] The cephalosporium acremonium ATCC11550 strain was purchased from the Guangdong Provincial Microbiological Culture Collection Center (collection number: GDMCCNO. 3.616), hereinafter referred to as strain ATCC11550. Take a PDA solid plate (potato flour 20g, glucose 10g, agar powder 20g, water 1000mL) cultured with strain ATCC11550 for 3 days, place it at -80℃ for 20min, take it out and scrape the surface hyphae, wash it twice with distilled water, freeze it and store it at -20℃. Use a liquid nitrogen pre-cooled mortar to grind the freeze-dried mycelium into fine powder, resuspend it in 500μL lysis buffer [40 μmol / L Tris-acetate, 20μmol / L sodium acetate, 1μmol / L EDTA, 1% (w / v) SDS, pH 7.8], and pipette it until the viscosity of the suspension is significantly reduced and foam is formed. Add RNAaseA and incubate at 37°C for 5 min, then add 165 μL of 5 μmol / L NaCl solution and mix. Centrifuge at 12000 rpm for 20 min, immediately transfer the supernatant to a new EP tube, and add 400 μL of chloroform and 400 μL of phenol. Gently invert until the solution becomes milky. After centrifugation for 20 min, remove the aqueous phase and extract with an equal volume of chloroform. Precipitate the DNA in the supernatant with 2 volumes of 95% ethanol. Wash the precipitated DNA three times with 70% pre-cooled ethanol, dry it, and dissolve it in 50 μL TE buffer (10 μmol / L Tris-HCl, 0.1 μmol / L EDTA, pH 7.8), and store it at -20°C.

[0034] 2. Amplification of target fragment

[0035] Primers for amplifying pcbAB, pcbC, cefD1, cefD2, cefEF, cefM, cefP, and cefT sequences were designed based on the DCPC biosynthesis gene sequences of the strain for the subsequent construction of pDCPC-1, pDCPC-2, and pDCPC-3 plasmids. These eight gene sequences can be retrieved from the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI, https: / / www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov / ). The NCBI accession numbers are: pcbAB (X74601.1), pcbC (M33522.1), cefD1 (AJ507632.2), cefD2 (AJ507632.2), cefT (AJ487683.1), cefM (AM231815.1), cefP (: AM231816.1), and two copies of cefEF (CM008058.1).

[0036] Design corresponding primers to amplify the fragments and use them to construct pDCPC-1, pDCPC-2 and pDCPC-3 plasmids. The primer sequences are shown in Table 1 (underline indicates the repeat sequence at the junction of the gene and the vector or adjacent fragments):

[0037] The genomic DNA of strain ATCC11550 was used as a template, and pcbAB-F1 / R1 and pcbAB-F2 / R2 were used as primers to amplify the upper and lower fragments of the pcbAB gene. The demarcation point between the upper and lower parts was the sequence of pcbAB-1F2, that is, the upstream of this sequence was the upper part of pcbAB (pcbAB-up), and the downstream part of this sequence was the lower part of pcbAB (pcbAB-dn).

[0038] Using the genomic DNA of strain ATCC11550 as a template, pcbC-F / R, cefD1-F / R, cefD2-F / R, cefT-F / R, cefM-F / R, cefP-F / R, cefEF-F1 / R1 and cefEF-F2 / R2 were used as primers to amplify the sequences of pcbC, cefD1, cefD2, cefT, cefM, cefP, cefEF and the second copy of cefEF, respectively, which were used to construct pYTR cefD1 / D2 / M / T and pYTUpcbC-cefEF / P.

[0039] The PCR amplification system is as follows:

[0040]

[0041] The PCR amplification conditions were as follows: pre-denaturation at 94°C for 5 min, denaturation at 94°C for 30 s, annealing at 58°C for 30 s, extension at 72°C at 2 kb / min, 33 cycles, extension at 72°C for 5 min, and storage at 4°C.

The primer sequences are the same as in Table 4. The sequence obtained by sequencing was compared with the target sequence. If the sequence was consistent, it means that the constructed plasmid was correct.

[0092] Example 2: Transformation of pDCPC-1, pDCPC-2 and pDCPC-3 plasmids into Aspergillus nidulans A1145 strain

[0093] 1. The preparation method of Aspergillus nidulans protoplasts is as follows:

[0094] Aspergillus nidulans A1145 strain (purchased from BioVector NTCC) was spread or streaked on a solid CD medium containing 0.5 μg / mL vitamin B (pyridoxine HCl), 0.125 μg / mL riboflavin and 10 mM uridine, and cultured at 37°C for about 4 days. After the plate was full of spores, 2 mL of 0.1% Tween-80 was added, and spores from about half of the plate were scraped with a cotton swab and filtered using a spore filter. The solid CD medium formula is: 20 g / L tryptone; 50 mL / L 20x nitrate solution (120 g NaNO 3 ; 10.4 g KCl; 10.4 g MgSO 4 7H 2 O; 30.4 g KH 2 PO 4 dissolved in 1 L of water); 1 mL / L trace elements [2.20 g ZnSO 4 7H 2 O; 1.10 g H 3 BO 3 ; 0.50 g MnCl 2 ·4H 2 O; 0.16 g FeSO 4 7H 2 O; 0.16 g CoCl 2 6H 2 O; 0.16 g CuSO 4 ·5H 2 O; 0.11 g (NH 4 ) 6 Mo 7 O 24 ·4H 2 O; 5.00 g Na 4EDTA]; 20 g agar; dissolved in 1 L water.

[0095] The spores were inoculated into 100 mL of liquid CD medium containing 0.5 μg / mL vitamin B (pyridoxine HCl), 0.125 μg / mL riboflavin, and 10 mM uridine. The spore concentration under microscopic examination was about 10 7 / mL. The formula of liquid CD medium is 20g / L tryptone; 50mL / L 20xNitrate salts medium; 1mL / L trace elements. The pH value is adjusted to 6.5 with 1M KOH, and the shaking culture conditions are 37℃, 250rpm. The spores germinate for 6.5h. The best state of spore germination is that the mycelium grows to 3 times the size of the expanded spores, and the spores gather first and then germinate.

[0096] Centrifuge the mycelium in the culture medium at 8000 rpm for 5 min, add 15 mL of Osmotic Medium (1.2 M MgSO 4 , 10 mM sodium phosphate buffer, pH 5.8), and repeated washing three times.

[0097] Add 10 mL of mixed enzymatic solution (30 mg Lysing Enzyme, 20 mg Yatalase dissolved in 10 mL Osmotic Medium Buffer), culture in a shaker at 30°C, 80 rpm, and observe the enzymatic hydrolysis of mycelium under a microscope. The protoplasts after enzymatic hydrolysis are about twice the volume of spores, with uniform morphology and thin walls. The enzymatic hydrolysis time is generally about 2.5 hours.

[0098] Add 3 volumes of STC buffer (1.2 M sorbitol; 10 mM CaCl 2 ; 10 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.5), centrifuge at 5000 rpm for 10 min, and remove the liquid.

[0099] Add a small amount of STC buffer to resuspend the protoplasts to a concentration of about 10 8 -10 9 pcs / mL, and dispense into 1.5mL centrifuge tubes, 100μL per tube. All the above operations were performed on ice or at 4℃.

[0100] 2. Co-transformation of pCPC-1, pCPC-2 and pCPC-3 plasmids into Aspergillus nidulans protoplasts

[0101] Here are the steps:

[0102] Take 5 μg of plasmids pDCPC-1, pDCPC-2 and pDCPC-3, add them together to 100 μL protoplasts, mix gently, and place on ice for 60 min.

[0103] Add 1.25 mL of 60% PEG solution (60% PEG4000; 50 mM CaCl 2 ; 50 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.5), mix gently with a pipette and leave at room temperature for 20 min.

[0104] Gently spread on a solid CD-Sorbitol medium (10 g / L glucose; 50 mL / L 20x nitrate; 1 mL / L trace elements; 1.2 M sorbitol; 20 g / L agar) plate, and be sure to be gentle when mixing and spreading. Incubate upright at 37℃ for 1 day, then invert for 1-2 days, and wait for clones to grow to obtain the engineered strain of Aspergillus nidulans.

[0105] 3. Identification of Aspergillus nidulans products

[0106] Take a single clone transformant and transfer it to solid CD Medium, and culture the transformant strain at 37℃ for seed preservation;

[0107] The bacterial cells obtained in the above step were inoculated into liquid CD-ST Medium and cultured at 37°C and 250rpm for 3 days. The fermentation broth was extracted and the fermentation product was detected. The strain capable of producing DCPC was the engineered strain of Aspergillus nidulans AnDCPC-1.

[0108] Example 3

[0109] Detection of DCPC production by the engineered strain AnDCPC-1 of Aspergillus nidulans

[0110] The verified correct Aspergillus nidulans engineered strain AnDCPC-1 was inoculated (10 8 100 μL of spore suspension (100 μL) was inoculated into 50 mL of liquid CD-ST medium (20 g / L starch; 20 g / L tryptone; 50 mL / L 20x nitrate; 1 mL / L trace elements; pH adjusted to 6.5) for shake flask fermentation and samples were taken after culturing at 37°C and 250 rpm for 2-3 days.

[0111] Take 50 mL of fermentation broth, extract the mycelium and supernatant with ethyl acetate three times, combine the organic phases, evaporate at 30°C until completely dry, add 300 μL of methanol to dissolve, filter with 0.22 μm filter membrane, and detect DCPC using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS).

[0112] LC-MS detection conditions of DCPC: LC-MS analysis was performed on an Agilent-1200HPLC / 6520QTOFMS (USA) system, with acetonitrile (v / v, 0.1% formic acid) and water (v / v, 0.1% formic acid) as the mobile phase, a flow rate of 0.8 mL / min, and an injection volume of 5 μL. 0-15min, 5%-95% acetonitrile; 15-20min, 95% acetonitrile. The Q-TOF used dual ESI as the ion source interface, and the ESI source was operated in positive ionization mode. The scan range was m / z 100-1000. The obtained sample mass spectrum ( Figure 4 ), which is consistent with the DCPC standard molecular weight of 373.38.

[0113] HPLC analysis conditions were as follows: 10% methanol was used to balance the column before injection, the mobile phase was 98.7% (v / v) 0.01 M sodium acetate (adjusted to pH 4.75 with acetic acid), 1.3% (v / v) acetonitrile, flow rate 1.0 mL / min, injection volume 10 μL, 0-22 min isocratic analysis. The absorption peak of DCPC in the fermentation product was detected at 254 nm, which was consistent with the retention time of the DCPC standard ( Figure 5 ).

[0114] The DCPC specific absorption peak area of ​​the fermentation extract samples and standards was analyzed by HPLC, and the DCPC yield data in the fermentation extract products were calculated. Three replicates were set for each sample.

[0115] like Figure 4 , 5 As shown in Figure 2, the LC-MS detection results of the fermentation product showed that the Aspergillus nidulans strain AnDCPC-1 produced DCPC. The corresponding HPLC spectrum is shown in Figure 2. Figure 6 , 7 As shown, based on the quantitative analysis of DCPC standard (concentration 0.25 g / L, purity 100%, characteristic peak area 2,234,515), by comparing the average characteristic peak area of ​​5,319,159 (n=3) of AnDCPC-1 fermentation product, it was calculated that the output of DCPC produced heterologously by this strain reached 0.595 g / L.

[0116] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present invention. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as the scope of protection of the present invention.
