Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of bioengineering and relates to a construction method and application of a recombinant Yarrowia lipolytica for synthesizing parthenolide. Background Art

[0002] Parthenolide is a sesquiterpene lactone compound with significant biological activity, primarily found in plants of the Asteraceae family (such as feverfew). It has attracted widespread attention for its pharmacological effects, including anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor, antimalarial, and neuroprotective properties. However, traditional plant extraction methods are limited by long plant growth cycles, low content, complex extraction processes, and environmental dependence, making it difficult to meet market demand. Although chemical synthesis has made some progress, its cumbersome steps, low yield, and the use of toxic reagents have restricted its industrial application.

[0003] Currently, the production of parthenolide primarily relies on plant extraction, but this method has significant limitations. First, the content of parthenolide in plant raw materials is generally low, with the content in dried feverfew (Tanacetum parthenium) leaves being only 0.14-0.74% (w / w), while the content in the root bark of Magnolia grandiflora is slightly higher (3.1-8.0%). Second, plant cultivation requires a large amount of land resources and has a long growth cycle, resulting in inefficient raw material supply. In terms of chemical synthesis, existing methods mainly use C10 compounds as starting materials. However, due to the susceptibility of parthenolide's carbon ring core structure to cyclization or rearrangement reactions under acidic, alkaline, and high temperature conditions, coupled with the difficulty of stereoselective control caused by the presence of multiple chiral centers in the molecule, the synthetic route faces technical bottlenecks such as difficult purification and low product yield. These factors collectively make existing production methods difficult to achieve large-scale application and unable to meet the continued growth of market demand. In recent years, synthetic biology technology has provided new ideas for the production of complex natural products. Although scientists have attempted to synthesize parthenolide using Saccharomyces cerevisiae as a base cell, the yield has only been in the milligram range, which is still relatively low overall. Therefore, finding more economical and feasible large-scale preparation and production technologies for parthenolide is of great significance for its promotion and application. Summary of the Invention

A single colony was picked and placed in 5 mL of YPD liquid medium and cultured at 28°C, 200 rpm for 16-24 h. 600 A value of around 5 is used as fermentation seed liquid.

[0068] (2) Shake flask fermentation: The above seed solution was transferred to a 250 mL shake flask containing 50 mL fermentation medium to make its initial OD 600The fermentation medium is controlled at 0.5. The fermentation medium is then placed in a shaker at 28°C and 200 rpm for fermentation. After culturing for 30 hours, sterilized 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) is added to a final concentration of 500 μg / L. The culture is continued for 120 hours, and the fermentation is completed to obtain a fermentation broth. The fermentation medium is composed of: 7.5 g / L (NH4)2SO4, 14.4 g / L KH2PO4, 0.5 g / L MgSO4·7H2O, 22 g / L glucose, 2.0 mL / L trace metal mother liquor, and 1.0 mL / L vitamin mother liquor. The vitamin mother liquor is an aqueous solution containing the following ingredients: 0.05 g / L biotin, 1 g / L calcium pantothenate, 1 g / L thiamine, 1 g / L pyridoxine, 1 g / L nicotinic acid, 0.2 g / L para-aminobenzoic acid, and 25 g / L inositol. The trace metal mother liquor is an aqueous solution containing the following ingredients: 15 g / L EDTA, 4.5 g / L zinc sulfate, 0.3 g / L cobalt chloride, 1 g / L manganese chloride, 0.1 g / L copper sulfate, 4.5 g / L calcium chloride, 3 g / L ferrous sulfate, 0.4 g / L sodium molybdate, 1 g / L boric acid, and 0.1 g / L potassium iodide.

[0069] This example also involved fed-batch fermentation of the recombinant strain: recombinant strain ML-PA-10 was inoculated into 50 mL of YPD liquid medium and cultured at 30°C and 220 rpm for 24 hours to obtain a seed solution. This solution was then inoculated into a fermentor at a 5% v / v inoculum. 3 L of fermentation medium was added to a 5 L fermentor. After 24 hours of incubation, sterilized heme precursor 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) was added to a final concentration of 500 μg / L. The dissolved oxygen concentration was maintained at 20% for 0-48 hours of fermentation; if the fermentation time exceeded 48 hours, the dissolved oxygen concentration was maintained at 30%. The pH was maintained at 5.5 throughout the fermentation process until the end of the fermentation. Feeding was performed throughout the fermentation process to maintain a stable glucose concentration of 5 g / L in the fermentor. The fermentation temperature was 30°C, and the agitation speed was adjusted between 300 and 1000 rpm based on the dissolved oxygen concentration (DO). The incubation time was up to 120 hours. The composition of the fermentation medium is the same as that of the fermentation medium described in step (2) of this embodiment.

[0070] After fermentation, the target product was isolated and analyzed by HPLC according to the following method. The extraction and analysis of parthenolide were as follows: After fermentation, the bacterial broth was collected and centrifuged at 5000 rpm for 5 minutes. 1 mL of the fermentation supernatant was aspirated, 1 mL of dodecane was added, and the mixture was vortexed for 20 minutes. The upper organic phase was aspirated and transferred to a 1.5 mL EP tube. Then, 100 μL of anhydrous sodium sulfate was added to the EP tube. The organic phase was thoroughly vortexed to remove trace moisture from the organic phase. The mixture was centrifuged at 12000 rpm for 2 minutes. The upper extract was aspirated and filtered through a 0.22 μM organic filter membrane before being placed in an HPLC injection vial for HPLC analysis. Parthenolide detection conditions: The chromatographic column was a C18 column (4.6×150 mm, 4 μm, Agilent), the column temperature was 25°C, the detector was a 1260VWD UV detector (Agilent), the mobile phase A was acetonitrile, the mobile phase B was 0.1% (v / v%) formic acid in water, and the total flow rate was 1 mL / min; the detector wavelength was set at 210 nm. The chromatographic program was as follows: initial concentration was 65% phase A and 35% phase B, hold for 5 minutes; from 5 to 12 minutes, the gradient was adjusted to 100% phase A and 0% phase B, hold for 3 minutes; from 15 to 17 minutes, the gradient was adjusted back to 65% phase A and 35% phase B, hold for 3 minutes. Standard solutions of varying concentrations (1-500 mg / L) of parthenolide standards were prepared, and a standard curve was constructed based on the peak area and concentration of the standard solutions. The product yield was calculated from this curve.

[0071] After the fermentation, the yield of parthenolide of the starting strain Po1fΔku70 was 0.00 mg / L after HPLC detection. The yield of parthenolide of ML-PA-1, ML-PA-2, ML-PA-3, ML-PA-4, ML-PA-5 and ML-PA-10 after shake flask fermentation culture was 51.21 mg / L, 112.65 mg / L, 89.32 mg / L, 73.76 mg / L, 84.32 mg / L and 625.32 mg / L respectively after HPLC detection. Among them, the yield of parthenolide produced by the recombinant strain ML-PA-10 fermentation was the highest, and the parthenolide obtained by fed-batch fermentation could reach 2.32 g / L, that is, 2.32 g of parthenolide could be obtained per liter of fermentation liquid. Figure 3 As shown in the figure, the peak time of parthenolide is about 10.4 min.
