Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to a strain of Saccharopolyspora spinosa, a construction method and application thereof, and belongs to the technical field of biotechnology, in particular to a method for improving the production of polymyxin by metabolic engineering technology to transform Saccharopolyspora spinosa. BACKGROUND
[0002] Saccharopolyspora spinosa is an aerobic gram-positive non-acid-fast actinomycete of the genus Saccharopolyspora, which can produce the large ring lactone green biological insecticide polymyxin, has the advantages of high efficiency, target, wide insecticidal spectrum, natural degradation, and no carcinogenic, teratogenic, mutagenic properties, and is widely used in the prevention and control of agricultural and forestry pests. Although chemical pesticides play a key role in the prevention and control of pests, the ecological environmental pollution, pest resistance and food safety problems caused by long-term abuse have seriously threatened the sustainable development of agriculture. In addition, the application of polymyxin has expanded to emerging fields in recent years, especially in the treatment of pet parasites.
[0003] However, the core problem restricting the industrialization development of polymyxin is the insufficient metabolic efficiency of the production strain. The original strain of Saccharopolyspora spinosa has technical defects such as long fermentation cycle and low product titer, but in the process of constructing high-yield strains, the precise selection of key target genes and the directional optimization of metabolic pathways are still the technical bottlenecks to be broken through. The current genetic improvement based on synthetic biology strategy still faces major challenges brought by metabolic node gene function redundancy and regulatory network complexity. Therefore, based on the existing high-yield mutant strains in the laboratory, the transcriptional data screening and gene editing for directional modification of high-yield strains aim to improve the production of polymyxin, provide new evidence for analyzing the regulation network of polymyxin biosynthesis, and provide innovative strategies for constructing high-yield engineering strains, which has important practical value for promoting the construction of green plant protection technology system and ensuring food security in China.
[0004] The main active ingredient of spinosad is composed of spinosyn A and spinosyn D, wherein spinosyn A accounts for about 85-95%, which is the main component of the biological activity of the compound, and the molecular structure is as follows. The molecule takes the tetraloop polyketone glycoside as the core skeleton, and its unique structure is composed of a twelve-membered lactone macrocycle and a three-ring system with a 5,6,5-cis-trans-cis configuration. The C9 and C17 positions are respectively modified by stereospecific glycosylation, and covalently connected with forosamine and 2,3,4-tri-O-methylated rhamnose (TMR). The spatial cooperation of this double sugar unit makes the group present a stable spatial conformation. In contrast, although spinosyn D only accounts for 5-15%, the difference in substituents at the C6 site of its molecule affects its binding ability to the target receptor, thereby exhibiting a complementary insecticidal spectrum to spinosyn A.
[0005]
[0006] At present, the traditional physical and chemical mutagenesis method is mainly used to improve the fermentation yield of spinosad. This random mutation has certain blindness, and the screening workload is large, the period is long, and the yield does not change much after multiple mutations. In order to overcome the above problems, through the method of metabolic engineering directed transformation, the strain can be optimized more rationally, and the supply of precursor substances closely related to the synthesis of spinosad is enhanced through strengthening the key synthesis and metabolic pathways, which is an effective means to improve the fermentation unit.
[0007] Therefore, a method for enhancing the expression of the fatty acid beta oxidation pathway of Saccharopolyspora spinosa is provided, and a high-yield genetic engineering strain of spinosad is constructed, which is of great significance for improving the fermentation unit of spinosad. SUMMARY

[0057] The plasmid pOJ260-PermE-27365 was transformed into E. coli S17-1 λpir, which was spread on LB plate medium containing 50 μg / mL apramycin, and transformants were picked to extract plasmids and perform enzyme digestion verification. The construction of the donor bacterium E. coli S17-1 poJ260-PermE-27365 was completed.
[0058] Intergeneric mycelial conjugation between E. coli and Saccharopolyspora:
[0059] Donor bacteria E. coli S17-1 poJ260-PermE-27365 culture, collection and washing: 1) pick 3 single colonies of E. coli S17-1 from the LB plate with the corresponding antibiotic, inoculate into LB medium containing the corresponding antibiotic, 37°C, 220 rpm overnight culture (about 12 h); 2) perform PCR verification on the 3 clones respectively to determine whether the inoculated E. coli clone is correct; 3) add 10% bacterial solution to the LB liquid medium containing the antibiotic. 37°C, 220 rpm, culture for about 3 h, measure OD 600 whether it is 0.4-0.6; 4) distribute the bacterial solution into 2 1.5 mL EP tubes, 12000 rpm, instant separation, remove the supernatant on the clean bench; 5) add 1 mL of sterilized LB liquid medium without antibiotic to collect into one tube, mix well with a pipette, and wash the bacterial cells; 6) repeat the washing 3 times, add 600 μL of liquid LB medium to resuspend the bacterial cells, and place at room temperature for standby. Culture in the LB liquid medium containing the above apramycin to OD 600 = 0.4-0.6.
[0060] Recipient bacteria S. spinosa treatment method: 1) inoculate the seed liquid frozen at -20°C into 20 mL TSB medium (TSB 30 g / L, 121°C sterilization for 20 min) at an inoculation amount of 1%, and culture at 28°C for 48 h; 2) inoculate the above bacterial solution into 18 mL TSB medium at an inoculation amount of 10%, and culture at 28°C for 24 h; 3) inoculate the above bacterial solution into 16 mL TSB medium at an inoculation amount of 25%, and culture at 28°C for 6 h as the recipient bacteria; 4) centrifuge at 8000 rpm for 5 min to collect the mycelium, discard the supernatant, and resuspend in 1 mL TSB medium. 12000 rpm, instant separation, remove the supernatant; 5) take 300 μL of the treated E. coli to resuspend the S. spinosa precipitate, evenly spread on the R6 conjugation transfer plate, and culture at 28°C for 16 h; 6) add NA and Apra each 25 μL in 300 mL sterile water, mix well, and pour onto the R6 culture medium (Sucrose 200g, BHI 26 g, Dextrin 10g, Casamino Acids 1g, K2SO4 0.1g, FeSO4•7H2O 0.1g, MgSO4•7H2O 0.05g, MnCl2•4H2O 0.001g, ZnSO4•7H2O 0.001g, Agar 20g, add ddH2O to 950 mL, 115°C sterilization for 25 min.

[0061] The spores of the conjugants were inoculated on the plate medium containing Apra (50 μg / mL) and incubated at 28°C for 10 days. Based on the characteristics of the pOJ260 suicide vector (unable to replicate autonomously, its stable existence depends on genomic integration), the continuous growth of positive clones confirmed that the recombinant plasmid pOJ260-PermE-27365 had been stably integrated into the host genome by homologous recombination mechanism, as shown in Figure 4
[0062] 5. PCR verification of the conjugant strain
[0063] The conjugants with abundant sporulation were selected and passaged on fresh solid plate medium (soluble starch 5 g, glucose 5 g, mannitol 5 g, yeast extract powder 5 g, malt extract powder 10 g, enzymatic hydrolysis casein 7.5 g, MgSO4·7H2O 2 g, agar 20 g, add water to 1 liter, adjust pH to 7.2. Sterilize at 115°C for 30 min) containing 50 μg / mL apramycin. After about 10 days of culture, spores were obtained. The grown spores were further passaged on solid medium without antibiotics for 3 times. The single colonies with good growth were inoculated into TSB medium and cultured at 28°C for 2-3 days. The whole genome DNA was extracted and PCR verification was performed to determine whether the conjugants lost the plasmid during the antibiotic-free passage. The specific steps are as follows: using the extracted strain DNA as the template, the primer pair Primer 5 / Primer 6 and Primer 7 / Primer 8 were used for PCR verification of the internal strong promoter and Apra resistance band of the strain, respectively. The primer pair Primer 9 / Primer 10 was used for PCR detection of whether the vector was integrated into the specific site in the strain.

[0080]
[0081] Example 3: A strain of Saccharopolyspora spinosa and a construction method and application thereof
[0082] The present example provides a method for constructing a high-yield genetically engineered strain of spinosad by strengthening the fatty acid metabolic pathway, which comprises the following steps:
[0083] (1) Constructing an expression plasmid containing a pccB fragment of a gene encoding propionyl-CoA carboxylase.
[0084] (2) Introducing the expression plasmid into Saccharopolyspora spinosa to obtain a genetically engineered strain HU27365 with high yield of spinosad.
[0085] The pccB fragment of the gene encoding propionyl-CoA carboxylase in the present application is from bacteria, and the two genes are widely present in organisms (prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms); preferably from Saccharopolyspora spinosa.
[0086] Further, the pccB fragment of the gene encoding propionyl-CoA carboxylase is obtained by amplification using primers with nucleotide sequences as shown in SEQ ID NO. 1 and SEQ ID NO. 2 of the sequence listing, respectively, with Saccharopolyspora spinosa genomic DNA as a template. An artificially synthesized promoter sequence is introduced at the 5' end of the pccB gene by the above method.
[0087] The method for introducing the expression plasmid into Saccharopolyspora spinosa can be conjugation transfer, protoplast transformation, electroporation, etc.
[0088] In the conjugation transfer method, the expression plasmid is first transformed into Escherichia coli S17-1 lambda pir to obtain a recombinant Escherichia coli, and then the recombinant Escherichia coli is subjected to conjugation transfer with Saccharopolyspora spinosa.
[0089] The starting vector for constructing the expression plasmid in the present application is an Escherichia coli-Streptomyces shuttle vector, including but not limited to the suicide vectors pOJ260, pRM4, pSET152, etc. The vector has a DNA transferase gene, an integration site, and an antibiotic resistance selection marker.
[0090] In a preferred embodiment of the present application, the Escherichia coli-Streptomyces shuttle vector is pOJ260, and the expression plasmid constructed using pOJ260 as the starting vector is poJ260-PermE-27365.
[0091] Further, after the expression plasmid is transformed into the Saccharopolyspora spinosa mutant strain in step (2), a transformant strain is obtained, and the transformant is subjected to PCR verification using primers with nucleotide sequences as shown in SEQ ID NO. 9 and SEQ ID NO. 10 of the sequence listing, to finally obtain the genetically engineered strain Spinosad∷27365 with high yield of spinosad.
[0092] The spores of the genetically engineered strain are subcultured on solid plate medium without antibiotics. The stability of the expression plasmid in the genome is confirmed by three subcultures. The stably subcultured strain is subjected to fermentation culture, and compared with the S. cisticola strain (the starting strain) to verify the high production performance of the spores.
[0093] The above merely explains the preferred embodiments of the present application, and is not intended to limit the present application in any form. Any modification or change related to the present application made under the same inventive spirit shall still be included in the scope intended to be protected by the present application.
