Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of genetic engineering and fermentation engineering, and particularly relates to an engineered bacterium for synthesizing dextro-borneol and a construction method and application thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] Borneol is divided into dextro-borneol and laevo-borneol according to optical activity. Dextro-borneol is a valuable aromatic monoterpene with multiple biological activities and has been used as a food flavoring and a component of medicine. Due to its analgesic, anti-inflammatory and antibacterial activities, it has been used in traditional medicine in China, Japan and India for a long time (Granger, R. E., Campbell, E. L. & Johnston, G. A. (+)-And (-)-borneol: efficacious positive modulators of GABA action at human recombinant alpha1beta2gamma2L GABA(A) receptors. Biochem Pharmacol 69, 1101-1111 (2005).; Chen, L., Su, J., Li, L., Li, B. & Li, W. A new source of natural D-borneol and its characteristic. Journal of Medicinal Plants Research 5, 3440-3447 (2011).) According to the Pharmacopoeia of the People's Republic of China (2020), (+)-Borneol is an important component of more than 60 kinds of Chinese patent medicines.
[0003] Borneol is mainly extracted from fresh leaves of Cinnamomum camphora by steam distillation, but this method has low yield and endangers the plant resources. Due to the limited natural borneol resources, chemically synthesized borneol is widely used as a substitute for natural borneol in clinical practice and occupies most of the market share. However, chemically synthesized borneol is a mixture of (±)-Borneol (61.39%) and iso-borneol (35.77%) (Zou, L. et al. Comparison of Chemical Profiles, Anti-Inflammatory Activity, and UPLC-Q-TOF / MS-Based Metabolomics in Endotoxic Fever Rats between Synthetic Borneol and Natural Borneol. Molecules 22 (2017).), in which iso-borneol has potential toxicity. Recently, emerging synthetic biology provides a promising alternative method for producing dextro-borneol by engineering cell factories.
[0004] In 2021, Ma et al. constructed a biosynthetic pathway of dextro-borneol in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and obtained 2.89 mg / L of dextro-borneol in a 48 h shake flask after truncating the signal peptide and adding the Kozak sequence (Ma, R. et al. Bornyl Diphosphate Synthase From Cinnamomum burmanni and Its Application for (+)-Borneol Biosynthesis in Yeast. Front Bioeng Biotechnol 9, 631863 (2021).).
