Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of genetic engineering technology, specifically to a high-yield Rhodioloside-producing Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain, its construction method, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] brewing yeast ( Saccharomyces cerevisiae Saccharomyces cerevisiae, also known as baker's yeast or budding yeast, is one of the most widely used engineered bacteria in the field of bioengineering. It was also the first eukaryote to have its genome sequenced. It boasts advantages such as a short growth cycle, strong fermentation capacity, ease of large-scale cultivation, and rich nutritional components including various proteins, amino acids, vitamins, and bioactive substances. Saccharomyces cerevisiae is listed as "Generally Recognized As Safe" (GRAS) strains by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Codex Alimentarius Commission (CAC), meaning it can be used in the production of food, health products, or pharmaceutical intermediates without requiring additional complex safety assessments. Saccharomyces cerevisiae possesses a complete eukaryotic protein folding system, avoiding the problem of "inactive inclusion bodies" that easily form when prokaryotic engineered bacteria (such as E. coli) express eukaryotic proteins, thus maintaining enzyme catalytic activity. Due to its excellent genetic characteristics, clear genetic background, mature molecular manipulation tools, broad substrate spectrum, and strong acid resistance, Saccharomyces cerevisiae has a natural advantage in the production of various amino acid derivatives.

[0003] Rhodioloside is a natural product with anti-hypoxia, antioxidant, anti-aging, and anti-tumor activities, and is widely used in cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. On one hand, it directly scavenges harmful free radicals such as reactive oxygen species (ROS) and hydroxyl radicals (·OH) in the body; on the other hand, it activates the body's antioxidant enzyme system (such as superoxide dismutase SOD and glutathione peroxidase GSH-Px), enhancing the cell's own antioxidant capacity. It reduces free radical damage to cell membranes and DNA, delays skin aging (e.g., reducing wrinkles and improving skin elasticity), protects vascular endothelial cells (reducing the risk of atherosclerosis), and also has antioxidant protective effects on nerve cells and liver cells. In recent years, with the continuous development of synthetic biology, the synthesis of rhodioloside using metabolic engineering and genetic engineering techniques to modify Saccharomyces cerevisiae has become a new research hotspot.

[0066] Example 3: Application of recombinant bacteria in the production of rhodioloside The engineered bacteria were cultured using recombinant bacteria Sc-01, Sc-02, Sc-03, and Sc-04 from Example 2 to produce tyrosol, and recombinant bacteria Sc-05, Sc-06, Sc-07, and Sc-08 to produce rhodioloside.

[0067] The specific method is as follows: Take the strain from the seed preservation tube, inoculate it into the YPD test tube with a 1% inoculation amount, and culture it at 30℃ for 24 hours to obtain the seed liquid; The seed culture was inoculated at a rate of 1% into 50 mL of fermentation medium (40 g / L glucose, 10 g / L yeast extract, and 20 g / L tryptone). The culture was incubated at 25℃ and 220 rpm with shaking for 5 days, with 4 mL of 40 g / L glucose added every 24 h. After 120 h of fermentation, the tyrosol yields of recombinant strains BY4742, Sc-01, Sc-02, Sc-03, and Sc-04 were 162.93 mg / L, 328.65 mg / L, 449.22 mg / L, 443.41 mg / L, and 541.03 mg / L, respectively. Figure 7 The increased precursor supply pathway resulted in a 101.72% increase in tyrosine production compared to the original strain. The tyrosine-regulated pathways of ARO2 / ARO10 alone, or synergistically, both increased tyrosine production by 175.71%, 172.12%, and 232.06%, respectively. Subsequently, UDP-glycosyltransferases from different sources were screened in hopes of converting tyrosol into rhodioloside. The rhodioloside yields of recombinant strains Sc-05, Sc-06, Sc-07, and Sc-08 were 135.46 mg / L, 41.15 mg / L, 644.60 mg / L, and 877.73 mg / L, respectively. Figure 8 The highest rhodioloside yield was achieved by expressing AtUGT85A1 derived from Arabidopsis thaliana, and this enzyme may be able to fold successfully and stably achieve substrate transformation in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

[0068] Example 4: High-density fermentation production of rhodioloside by recombinant strain Sc-06 I308T F403A ① Seed culture: a. Primary seed culture: Take 1% of the recombinant strain Sc-08 I308T F403A bacterial culture from the cryopreservation tube and inoculate it into YPD test tubes. Incubate at 30°C and 200 rpm for 24 hours to obtain the primary seed culture. The YPD medium contains 2% peptone, 1% yeast extract and 2% glucose. b. Secondary seed culture: Take the primary seed culture and inoculate it into a new seed culture medium at an inoculation rate of 10%, and culture it at a constant temperature under the same conditions as a to obtain the seed culture for fermentation culture.

[0069] ② Batch feeding fermentation The seed culture obtained from seed culture was inoculated into a 5 L fermenter containing fermentation medium (40 g / L glucose, 20 g / L peptone, 10 g / L yeast extract). Recombinant strain Sc-08 I308T F403A underwent fed-batch fermentation in the 5 L fermenter at 30℃, 500 rpm, and dissolved oxygen maintained at 40%. The initial glucose concentration in the fermenter was 40 g / L. When the glucose was nearly depleted, glucose was added continuously to maintain the glucose concentration below 5 g / L. Samples were taken every 12 h to determine the yields of tyrosol and rhodioloside. After 7 days of fermentation, the cell OD... 600 The concentration reached 101.45, while 4.03 g / L of tyrosol and 41.07 g / L of rhodioloside were obtained. Figure 11 ).

[0070] This invention increases tyrosol production by expressing key enzymes in the tyrosine precursor supply pathway and regulating branched metabolic pathways in *Saccharomyces cerevisiae*. Subsequently, by screening UDP-glycosyltransferases from different sources and performing site-directed mutagenesis targeting their key enzyme active sites, tyrosol is converted to rhodioloside. Finally, continuous fed-batch fermentation is conducted in a 5 L fermenter to evaluate the production capacity of the strain. The OD500 of the recombinant strain in the fermenter is measured. 600 The detection of rhodioloside production is expected to further increase the yield of rhodioloside in larger fermenters, laying the foundation for subsequent industrialization.
