Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the field of biotechnology, and particularly relates to a method for improving the astaxanthin production of Phaffia rhodozyma by synergistically overexpressing a non-homologous terminal junction protein gene and an iron reductase gene. Background Art
[0002] Astaxanthin is a carotenoid with a keto structure and a molecular formula of C 20 H 52 O4. Astaxanthin's antioxidant capacity is 550 times that of vitamin E and 10 times that of beta-carotene. It can cross cell membranes and the blood-brain barrier, effectively scavenging oxidative free radicals and thus protecting the brain. Astaxanthin can treat macular degeneration, with superior efficacy compared to lutein. It can also eliminate coagulation disorders caused by antiplatelet drugs. In the food industry, astaxanthin has immune-enhancing and anti-aging effects, making it a functional ingredient in health supplements. Due to its strong antioxidant properties, astaxanthin protects food nutrients from degradation and can be used as a food preservative, flavor enhancer, and quality enhancer. Furthermore, astaxanthin is a high-quality pigment. In aquaculture, astaxanthin, as a hormone, can promote fertilization of fish eggs, accelerate growth, increase the maturation rate of fish, and aid in the coloration of crustaceans.
[0003] Phaffia rhodozyma is a cold-resistant basidiomycete yeast. Astaxanthin is its primary carotenoid. Studies have found that fermentation of astaxanthin by P. rhodozyma offers advantages such as rapid growth, short fermentation cycles, and easy extraction. However, stress conditions that favor astaxanthin synthesis often affect yeast cell growth, resulting in low production of the intracellular product, astaxanthin. Therefore, balancing yeast cell growth and astaxanthin synthesis is crucial for increasing astaxanthin production in P. rhodozyma. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides a method for increasing the astaxanthin production of Phaffia rhodozyma by utilizing a coordinated gene expression strategy, which can increase the astaxanthin production of Phaffia rhodozyma, and balance yeast cell growth and astaxanthin synthesis to increase the astaxanthin production of Phaffia rhodozyma.
[0005] The solution adopted by the present invention to solve the above technical problems is:
[0006] 1. Application of a combination of a non-homologous terminal junction protein gene and an iron reductase gene in improving the astaxanthin production of Phaffia rhodozyma.
[0007] 2. A method for increasing astaxanthin production in Phaffia rhodozyma by synergistically utilizing non-homologous terminal junction protein genes and iron reductase genes:
[0008] The method introduces a non-homologous end-joining (NHEJ) protein gene and a ferric reductase (FR) gene into Phaffia rhodozyma cells to coordinately express the non-homologous end-joining protein and ferric reductase genes, and then uses Phaffia rhodozyma to ferment and produce astaxanthin, thereby increasing yeast cell biomass and astaxanthin production, thereby increasing astaxanthin production, where the production is the astaxanthin content per liter of fermentation broth.
[0009] The method specifically comprises constructing an NHEJ and FR double gene coordinated overexpression vector by using overlap extension PCR (overlap-PCR) or gene synthesis or chemical synthesis, and introducing the vector into rhodozyma cells, screening positive transformants, i.e., rhodozyma cells into which the positive introduction is successful, to obtain rhodozyma NHEJ and FR double gene coordinated overexpression strains; and then using the rhodozyma NHEJ and FR double gene coordinated overexpression strains for conventional fermentation treatment to produce astaxanthin.
[0010] The NHEJ and FR double gene coordinated overexpression vector is the NHEJ and FR double gene coordinated overexpression plasmid 18sup-Pgdp-G418-Tgdp-Padh4-NHEJ-Tact-Padh4-FR-Tact-18sdown or Pgdp-G418-Tgdp-Padh4-NHEJ-Tact-Padh4-FR-Tact;
[0011] The 18sup, Pgdp, Tgdp, Padh4, Tact and 18sdown genes are SEQ ID No.1, SEQ ID No.2, SEQ ID No.3, SEQ ID No.4, SEQ ID No.5 and SEQ ID No.6 respectively, and the G418 gene is SEQ ID No.7; the non-homologous end joining protein NHEJ gene is SEQ ID No.9, and the iron reductase FR gene is SEQ ID No.10.
[0012] The NHEJ and FR double gene collaborative overexpression vector was prepared in the following manner:
[0013] S1. First, the 18sup, Pgdp, Tgdp, Padh4, NHEJ, ferroreductase FR, Tact, and 18sdown gene fragments were amplified by the first round of PCR using the rhodozyma genome as a template;
[0014] S2, then using plasmid pPIC9K as a template, a second round of PCR was performed to amplify the G418 resistance gene fragment;
[0015] S3, then using the above gene fragments of 18sup, Pgdp, G418, Tgdp, Padh4, NHEJ, FR, Tact and 18sdown as templates, the gene fragments of the templates were connected in sequence by the third round of PCR to obtain the NHEJ and FR double gene coordinated overexpression plasmid 18sup-Pgdp-G418-Tgdp-Padh4-NHEJ-Tact-Padh4-FR-Tact-18sdown or Pgdp-G418-Tgdp-Padh4-NHEJ-Tact-Padh4-FR-Tact as the NHEJ and FR double gene coordinated overexpression vector; the plasmid 18sup-Pgdp-G418-Tgdp-Padh4-NHEJ-Tact-Padh4-FR-Tact dp-Padh4-NHEJ-Tact-Padh4-FR-Tact-18sdown is formed by sequentially connecting 18sup, Pgdp, G418, Tgdp, Padh4, NHEJ, Tact, Padh4, iron reductase FR, Tact and 18sdown gene fragments in step S3; the plasmid Pgdp-G418-Tgdp-Padh4-NHEJ-Tact-Padh4-FR-Tact is formed by sequentially connecting Pgdp, G418, Tgdp, Padh4, NHEJ, Tact, Padh4, FR and Tact gene fragments in step S3.
[0016] The NHEJ and FR double gene coordinated overexpression vector can also be obtained by chemical synthesis, chemically synthesizing 18sup-Pgdp-G418-Tgdp-Padh4-NHEJ-Tact-Padh4-FR-Tact-18sdown and Pgdp-G418-Tgdp-Padh4-NHEJ-Tact-Padh4-FR-Tact.
[0017] In the NHEJ and FR double gene collaborative overexpression vector, the plasmid 18sup-Pgdp-G418-Tg dp-Padh4-NHEJ-Tact-Padh4-FR-Tact-18sdown is introduced and inserted into the 18Sr DNA site of the rhodozyma genome, and the CRISPR-Cas9 system is used to assist in the insertion into the 18SrDNA site. The plasmid Pgdp-G418-Tgdp-Padh4-NHEJ-Tact-Padh4-FR-Tact is introduced and randomly inserted into the rhodozyma genome.
[0018] There is no fixed site for random insertion, and the insertion method includes electroporation. In a specific implementation, the above-mentioned overexpression vector is introduced into the rhodozyma yeast cells by electroporation.
[0019] Specifically, the NHEJ and FR dual gene coordinated overexpression vectors 18sup-Pgdp-G418-Tgdp-Pad h4-NHEJ-Tact-Padh4-FR-Tact-18sdown and Pgdp-G418-Tgdp-Padh4-NHEJ-Tact-Pad h4-FR-Tact were inserted into the genomic 18SrDNA site and randomly inserted into the genome, respectively, and electroporated into rhodozyma cells. Positive transformants were screened using G418 plates to obtain rhodozyma NHEJ and FR coordinated gene overexpression strains.
[0020] The G418 plate is a plate added with geneticin. The protein encoded by the G418 gene can degrade G418, so that cells can grow on G418.
[0021] The NHEJ and FR double gene coordinated overexpression plasmid 18sup-Pgdp-G418-Tgdp-Padh4-NHEJ-Tact-Padh4-FR-Tact-18sdown was inserted into the genome of the rhodozyma yeast cells using the improved Cas9-sgRNA.
[0022] According to the 18S rDNA sequence of the insertion site of the overexpression vector on the rhodozyma genome, the crRNA sequence was set, and the crRNA gene sequence was SEQ ID No. 8. In vitro sgRNA preparation and Cas9-sgRNA ribonucleoprotein (RNP) complex were used to form a gene overexpression strain, specifically:
[0023] D1, synthesize crRNA, the crRNA sequence is SEQ ID No.8, i.e. TTACCCGTTGAAA CCATGGT;
[0024] D2. Synthesize the Cas9-sgRNA ribonucleoprotein (RNP) complex; this is a guide protein in CRISPR technology that helps find the cutting site.
[0025] D3. Finally, the Cas9-sgRNA ribonucleoprotein complex and the plasmid 18sup-Pgdp-G418-Tgdp-Padh4-NHEJ-Tact-Padh4-FR-Tact-18sdown in the NHEJ and FR double gene coordinated overexpression vector were co-introduced into the rhodozyma cells. Positive transformants were screened using G418 plates. G418 is equivalent to an antibiotic culture medium for screening. The positive rhodozyma cells that can grow are regarded as positive transformants, thereby obtaining a rhodozyma NHEJ and FR double gene coordinated overexpression strain, that is, a rhodozyma mutant with coordinated overexpression of the two genes.
[0026] Specifically, the present invention constructs or synthesizes a non-homologous end joining protein (NHEJ) and ferric reductase (FR) gene coordinated overexpression vector, transforms the gene overexpression vector into rhodozyma cells, and obtains rhodozyma mutants that coordinately overexpress the two genes through G418 plate screening.
[0027] The original strain of Phaffia rhodozyma and the gene overexpression mutant (gene overexpression strain into which the target plasmid has been introduced) were cultured.
[0028] More preferably, the overexpressing strain of Phaffia rhodozyma (i.e., mutant) after the gene is introduced is cultured, and the culture is divided into two stages of cultivation process, namely, seed culture and fermentation culture.
[0029] During the seed culture period, the rhodozyma overexpressing strain was first inoculated into the seed culture medium under the following culture conditions: culture temperature 22°C, shaker speed 300 rpm, and culture time 96 h;
[0030] During the fermentation culture period, Phaffia rhodozyma cells occupying 2% of the volume of the fermentation medium were extracted from the seed culture results and inoculated into the fermentation medium. The culture conditions were: culture temperature 22° C., shaker speed 300 rpm, and culture time 96 h.
[0031] More specifically, the seed culture medium composition during cultivation (g / L) is: 20g glucose, 10g yeast powder, 20g peptone, and 20g agar powder is added to the solid culture medium. The fermentation medium composition for shake flasks (g / L) is: 50g glucose, 10g maltose extract, 1g yeast powder, and 0.8g peptone. Culture medium sterilization conditions: autoclave at 115°C for 30min.
[0032] The mutant strain is cultured in the seed culture medium. At this stage, the strain is most likely to be activated and cultured to the logarithmic growth phase with the strongest growth potential.
[0033] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the method for extracting the produced astaxanthin is as follows: the fermentation broth obtained after fermentation culture is centrifuged at 8000rpm for 10min, the supernatant is removed, the bacteria are collected, and after washing twice with sterile water, the washed bacteria are placed in -80℃ and frozen for 12h, and then placed in a freeze dryer for freeze drying for 24h. The freeze-dried bacteria are added to dimethyl sulfoxide preheated to 60℃, shaken and evenly mixed, heated in a water bath at 50℃ for 5min to break the cell wall, 3ml of anhydrous ethanol is added for extraction for 20min, ultrasonicated in an ultrasonic cleaning machine for 10min, centrifuged at 8000rpm for 10min, the supernatant obtained by centrifugation is transferred to a new centrifuge tube, and centrifuged under the same conditions. The bacterial precipitate is repeatedly subjected to cell wall extraction with dimethyl sulfoxide preheated to 60℃ until the bacteria are white, and the extract is pooled to obtain astaxanthin.
[0034] The fermentation broth is a mixture of the bacterial strain and fermentation medium from the fermentation stage, which is the stage with the highest potential for astaxanthin production. The extract is an astaxanthin-containing solution extracted by cell wall breaking with dimethyl sulfoxide, excluding the bacterial cells.
[0035] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the extract was used to determine the astaxanthin content by high performance liquid chromatography, and the chromatographic elution conditions were as follows: chromatographic column: C 18 Chromatographic column; column temperature: 30℃; UV detection wavelength: 478nm; mobile phase: methanol:acetonitrile = 9:1 (V / V); injection volume: 10μL; flow rate: 1mL / min.
[0036] The present invention is based on genomic 18SrDNA site insertion, genomic random insertion and CRISPR-Cas9-assisted genomic 18SrDNA site insertion to construct a non-homologous end-joining (NHEJ) protein and ferric reductase (FR) double gene coordinated overexpression vector, and through electrotransformation and G418 plate screening, obtain rhodozyma NHEJ / FR double gene overexpression mutants (M7, M8 and M9).
[0037] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0038] The present invention increases astaxanthin production in Phaffia rhodozyma by synergistically overexpressing a non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) protein and a ferric reductase (FR) gene in the yeast. Mutants M7 to M9, which synergistically overexpress the NHEJ and FR genes, achieve astaxanthin production of 5.9 to 7.0 mg / L, a 2.73- to 3.43-fold increase compared to the original strain.
[0039] The present invention constructs a high-astaxanthin-producing Phaffia rhodozyma strain through gene overexpression technology, which has the characteristics of stable genetic traits and astaxanthin fermentation yield and is highly feasible. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

After washing twice with sterile water, the washed cells were frozen at -80°C for 12 hours and then freeze-dried in a freeze dryer for 24 hours. The total weight of the cell pellet and the centrifuge tube was weighed and subtracted from the previous centrifuge tube weight to obtain the cell weight and biomass.
[0075] 4) Obtaining astaxanthin: The freeze-dried bacteria were added to dimethyl sulfoxide preheated to 60°C, shaken and heated in a water bath at 50°C for 5 minutes to break the bacterial cell wall. 3 ml of anhydrous ethanol was added for extraction for 20 minutes. After ultrasonic cleaning for 10 minutes, the supernatant was centrifuged at 8000 rpm for 10 minutes. The supernatant was transferred to a new centrifuge tube and centrifuged under the same conditions. The bacterial cell pellet was repeatedly extracted with dimethyl sulfoxide preheated to 60°C until the bacterial cells turned white, and the extracts were pooled.
[0076] 5) HPLC elution conditions are as follows: Chromatographic column: C 18 Chromatographic column; column temperature: 30℃; UV detection wavelength: 478nm; mobile phase: methanol:acetonitrile = 9:1 (V / V); injection volume: 10μL; flow rate: 1mL / min.
[0077] The extract of Comparative Example 1 was subjected to high performance liquid chromatography elution measurement, and the obtained original strain of Phaffia rhodozyma WT had a biomass of 5.2 g / L, an astaxanthin content of 0.3 mg / g DCW, and an astaxanthin yield of 1.58 mg / L.
[0078] like Figure 1As shown in the comparison, the extracts of each of the above examples were subjected to high-performance liquid chromatography elution measurement, and the biomass of the red Phaffia yeast mutant M7 of Example 1, the red Phaffia yeast mutant M8 of Example 2, and the red Phaffia yeast mutant M9 of Example 3 were 8.5g / L, 8.4g / L, and 8.9g / L, respectively, which were 63.5%, 61.5%, and 71.2% higher than the original strains, respectively. The astaxanthin content of the mutants M7, M8, and M9 were 0.7mg / g, 0.75mg / g, and 0.8mg / g, respectively, which were 133%, 150%, and 167% higher than the original strains, respectively. The astaxanthin production was 5.9mg / L, 6.3mg / L, and 7.0mg / L, respectively, which were 273%, 296%, and 340% higher than the original strains, respectively. This indicates that the non-homologous terminal junction protein gene and the iron reductase protein gene have a synergistic effect in rhodozyma cells, which can further promote the growth and astaxanthin synthesis of rhodozyma cells under stress conditions, thereby significantly increasing the overall astaxanthin content.
