Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of bioengineering technology and applications, and particularly relates to a transcription factor Cgl2988 related to 5-aminolevulinic acid production based on network model prediction and its applications. Background Art

[0002] 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA), as a key precursor of heme, chlorophyll and vitamin B12, has important application values in the fields of photodynamic therapy, agricultural biostimulants and microbial manufacturing. [1,2] At present, the production of 5-ALA based on Corynebacterium glutamicum mainly relies on metabolic engineering strategies, such as directed evolution of 5-ALA synthase, perturbation of side branches or downstream pathways, or dynamic regulated expression of key genes. [3] However, so far, the research on transcription factors specific to the 5-ALA synthesis pathway is still blank.

[0003] In recent years, network model-driven synthetic biology strategies have provided new ideas for microbial metabolic regulation. By integrating genomic, transcriptomic and metabolomic data to construct a metabolic network model, potential transcription factors and their target genes can be systematically predicted, breaking through the limitations of the traditional "trial and error method". For example, in 2017, Kim [4] et al. used the Escherichia coli metabolic network model iJO1366 as the chassis, integrated 3672 transcriptional regulatory relationships obtained from the RegulonDB database, constructed an Escherichia coli transcriptional regulatory metabolic network model, and used the BeReTa algorithm to predict transcription factors related to the synthesis of various products in Escherichia coli, such as the transcription factors ArgR, TdcA, ArgP and Rob for synthesizing arginine. In 2019, Shen [5] et al. used the Saccharomyces cerevisiae metabolic network model Yeast 7.6 as the chassis model, combined the transcriptional regulatory network and the metabolic network model using the IDREAM method, and used the OptRAM algorithm to predict genes and transcription factors related to high-yield succinic acid. The upregulation of the transcription factors PHO4 and PDR1 significantly increased the succinic acid yield.

[0004] Based on the above case demonstrations, combined with the deficiencies in the current 5-ALA production, using network model prediction to screen transcription factors related to high-yield 5-ALA can accurately analyze the metabolic regulation mechanism and guide the transformation of targeted strains, significantly improving the 5-ALA biosynthesis efficiency, and providing key targets and theoretical supports for large-scale industrial production and metabolic engineering optimization. However, there is currently no report on the transcription factor Cgl2988 related to 5-aminolevulinic acid production based on network model prediction. Summary of the Invention
