Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to a Yarrowia lipolytica genetically engineered bacterium for producing decaprenylphenol and application thereof, and belongs to the technical field of bioengineering. BACKGROUND
[0002] Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is a liposoluble quinone compound, which plays a core role in human respiratory chain electron transfer, ATP synthesis, antioxidant and immune regulation. It is clinically used in cardiovascular diseases, hepatitis, cancer adjuvant therapy and health care product field, and the global demand is growing at an annual rate of 15%-20%, with a significant market gap.
[0003] The current mainstream production methods of CoQ10 include biological extraction method, microbial fermentation method, semi-chemical synthesis method and total chemical synthesis method. Among them, the biological extraction method is extracted from animal heart or plant, with low product purity, high cost (need enrichment and purification), and is difficult to scale due to raw material limitation. The yield of microbial fermentation method is unstable, with poor predictability, relying on experience optimization, and the cost is still high. The semi-chemical synthesis method is to synthesize decaprenylphenol (CoQ10 side chain precursor) from solanesol, and then couple with the mother ring. However, solanesol is expensive, and the raw material utilization rate is low in the process, and the steps are complicated (need bromination, Grignard reaction, etc.), and the total yield is only 50%-75%. The steps of total chemical synthesis method are complex, and it is difficult to control the stereoselectivity.
[0004] Among them, the structural formula of decaprenylphenol is as follows: .
[0005] In the existing semi-chemical synthesis, decaprenylphenol is synthesized from solanesol, which is brominated to form solanesyl bromide, then reacted with ethyl acetoacetate to form solanesyl ketone, and finally reduced to decaprenylphenol. The total yield is only 54%-67%, and toxic reagents (such as phosphorus tribromide) are used, and there are many by-products. Through synthetic biology method, natural microorganisms can generate isopentenyl diphosphate (IPP / DMAPP) through mevalonic acid (MVA) or methyl erythritol phosphate (MEP) pathway, and then extend it through polyisoprene transferase. However, the synthesis efficiency of long-chain (C50) isoprene alcohol is low, and the endogenous pathway regulation of microorganisms is complex. How to modify the natural microorganisms to effectively synthesize decaprenylphenol is a research topic. SUMMARY

[0038] Example 1
[0039] The recombinant genetically engineered bacteria provided in this example were prepared according to the following method: The HO-hisG-URA3-hisG-poly-HO vector (purchased from Shanghai Newpui Biotechnology Co., Ltd.) was double-cut with restriction enzymes Xhol and Sail, and the 7527 bp fragment was recovered from the gel to obtain a linearized vector 1; the strong promoter TEFin fragment 1 was obtained by PCR with primers F1 and R1 using the Yarrowia lipolytica genome as a template; the codon-optimized decenyl diphosphate synthase RsDDSA gene was obtained by PCR with primers F2 and R2; the terminator Txpr2t fragment 3 was obtained by PCR with primers F3 and R3 using the Yarrowia lipolytica genome as a template; the vector 1 and fragments 1, 2, and 3 were subjected to multi-fragment homologous recombination by the ClonExpress MultiS OneStep Cloning Kit reagent kit from Novagen, and the Escherichia coli DH5a competent cells were transformed, and the plasmid containing the RsDDSA expression cassette was obtained by verification to obtain the plasmid pURA.
[0040] The pURA was linearized with Mlul and FastAP enzyme, and the vector 2 was purified. The RsDDSA expression cassette was obtained by PCR with plasmid pURA as template and primers F4 and R3, and then purified after Dpnl enzyme digestion. The vector 2 and fragment 4 were cloned by ClonExpress II One Step Cloning Kit of Invitrogen, and the plasmid pURA2 containing two copies of RsDDSA expression cassette was obtained by verifying the plasmid.

[0042] Similarly, the plasmids pURA3 and pURA4 containing three and four copies of RsDDSA expression cassette can be constructed respectively.
[0043] After linearization of the plasmid, the Frozen-EZ Yeast Transformation II Kit™ yeast transformation kit of Zymo Research Company was used for transformation, and the linearized plasmid was expressed in Yarrowia lipolytica po1f. The expression cassette carried by the linearized plasmid was integrated into the genome through the non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) mechanism of Yarrowia lipolytica. After hole plate screening and shake flask fermentation verification, the series of engineering recombinant strains DPP1~4 were obtained.
[0044] The series of strains DPP1~4 were activated on YPD (yeast extract peptone dextrose agar medium) plate, and single colonies were picked on YPD test tube medium. The culture conditions were 30°C, 220 rpm, and the culture time was 24 h. Then 2% of the culture liquid was transferred to 30 mL YPD fermentation medium. The culture conditions were 30°C, 220 rpm, and the culture time was 96 h. The cell growth was detected by measuring the optical density (OD600) at wavelength 600 nm, and the cell broth and ethyl acetate were mixed (volume ratio 1:1), zirconium oxide beads were added for homogenization, and the upper ethyl acetate layer was taken after centrifugation. After drying, ethanol was added for redissolution, and the filtrate was detected by liquid chromatography (LC) to detect the yield of decaprenylphenol (the concentration of the product was calculated according to the volume of the culture liquid). The results are shown in Table 2. The recombinant strain DPP3 containing three copies of RsDDSA expression cassette had the highest yield of decaprenylphenol, which could reach 10.42 mg / L.

After screening verification, the series of engineering recombinant strains DPP5-8 are obtained, each of which loses one HisG tag and URA3 screening marker under the screening pressure of 5-fluoroorotic acid, so as to be used for URA screening in the next round.
[0049] wherein, taking the simultaneous overexpression of ERG10 and ERG13 as an example, the endogenous ERG10 and ERG13 genes are obtained by Yarrowia lipolytica genome PCR, and the pUFERG10 plasmid and the pUGERG13 plasmid are respectively constructed by one-step cloning; the linearized pUFERG10 vector is obtained by cutting pUFERG10 with SpeI and FastAP; the PGPD-ERG13-TCYC1t expression cassette is obtained by PCR using pUGERG13 as a template; and the linearized pUFERG10 vector and the PGPD-ERG13-TCYC1t expression cassette are connected to obtain an expression plasmid containing two expression cassettes by one-step cloning.
[0050] Wherein, DPP6 is obtained by engineering iteration based on DPP5, and so on. After obtaining DPP5, one HisG tag and URA3 screening marker are lost under the screening pressure of 5-fluoroorotic acid, the DPP5 losing the screening marker is made into yeast competent by Frozen-EZ Yeast Transformation II Kit™ kit, the above-mentioned ERG10 expression cassette (PFBAin-ERG10-Tlip2t) and ERG13 expression cassette (PGPD-ERG13-TCYC1) are transformed into the competent by Frozen-EZ Yeast Transformation II Kit™, the expression cassettes are integrated on the genome of DPP5 by the mechanism of non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) of Yarrowia lipolytica. DPP6 is obtained by screening verification. In succession, the subsequent engineering bacteria can be obtained.

Among them, the upstream homologous arm is 1311bp, the downstream homologous arm is 1359bp, and a hisG-URA3-hisG marker cassette is connected in the middle. The engineering recombinant strain DPP9 is obtained by colony PCR verification and fermentation verification.

The upstream homologous arm was 1304bp (containing the 120bp mitochondrial localization peptide), the downstream homologous arm was 1300bp, and a RsDDSA and hisG-URA3-hisG marker cassette were connected in the middle. After screening verification, the engineering recombinant strain DPP10 (preservation number: CCTCC NO. M20251154) was obtained.
[0059] The culture conditions were the same as in Example 1. The results are shown in Table 5.
