Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the fields of genetic engineering and microbial metabolic engineering, and in particular to a constitutive strong promoter suitable for Streptomyces and its applications. Background Technology

[0002] Bacterial RNA polymerase holoenzymes are composed of α, β, β', ω subunits and a σ factor. They specifically recognize a DNA sequence upstream of a gene, known as the promoter. Promoters are key elements in gene transcription and regulation, playing an indispensable role in heterologous gene expression and the activation of silent gene clusters. Replacing the native promoter with a universal constitutive promoter or a host-specific strong promoter is an effective strategy for activating silent genes or metabolic pathways in the original strain.

[0003] Streptomyces ( Streptomyces Streptomyces (Streptomyces aquatilis) is a representative genus of Gram-positive actinomycetes, possessing a sophisticated secondary metabolic regulatory network, a strong ability to synthesize secondary metabolites, and a genetic background compatible with multiple exogenous genes. It can produce a variety of bioactive natural products and is also an ideal host for heterologous microbial expression. Commonly used Streptomyces expression strains include *Streptomyces aquatilis* (*Streptomyces cerevisiae*). Streptomyces coelicolor Streptomyces venezulatus ( Streptomyces venezuelae Streptomyces cerevisiae (S) treptomyces lividans Streptomyces albopictus () Streptomyces albus )wait.

[0004] Streptomyces genomes have a high GC content and a complex regulatory network. Streptomyces promoters exhibit significant heterogeneity; promoters available in other microorganisms are often inactive in Streptomyces. Currently, the most widely used Streptomyces promoters include those derived from… S. erythraea Erythromycin resistance gene promoter ermEp * and artificially modified promoters kasOp* Chinese patent CN113667670A discloses a strong promoter suitable for Streptomyces and its application. stnYp It can be used in commonly used Streptomyces model strains and is of great significance for protein expression and metabolite synthesis in actinomycetes.

[0005] Discovering new promoters and combining them with Streptomyces chassis strains can enable the activation of various Streptomyces silent gene clusters and the heterologous expression of natural product gene clusters. Utilizing... ermEp* The promoter regulates the jadomycin biosynthesis gene cluster, significantly increasing jadomycin yield by approximately two-fold. RNA-seq analysis of a strong promoter identified in *Streptomyces albopictus* J1074 activates the PTM gene cluster in *Bacillus oryzae*, and also... S. coelicolor The yield of the target compound in M1146 increased by 1.8 times. S. lividansThe yield of 66 target compounds increased by 1.2 times.

[0006] Replacing native promoters with universal constitutive promoters or host-specific strong promoters is an effective strategy for activating silent gene clusters and natural product biosynthetic pathways. However, universal constitutive promoters are very limited, severely restricting efficient gene initiation and heterologous expression in Streptomyces. Furthermore, while a single strong promoter can activate a gene cluster, the increase in yield is often insignificant. Moreover, transcriptional manipulation of multiple genes requires a large number of different strong promoters, and repeated use of the same promoter often carries the risk of homologous recombination.

[0007] Therefore, discovering and characterizing constitutive strong promoters that are universal, stable, and of varying strengths and applicable to Streptomyces is beneficial for the precise regulation of target genes and metabolic pathways. Summary of the Invention

[0052] (4) Take 10 mL of Escherichia coli ET12567 / pUZ8002 cultured in step (1), wash it 3 times, and mix it with 1 mL of Streptomyces albopictus J1074 obtained in the logarithmic phase obtained in step (3). Spread the mixture on MS plates containing 40 mM MgCl2 (20 g / L soybean meal, 20 g / L mannitol, pH 7.2), and incubate at 30°C for 12 h. Cover the plates with sterile water containing apopramine and trimethoprim (900 µL sterile water with 25 µL of 50 mg / L apopramine and 50 µL of 100 mg / L trimethoprim), and continue incubation at 30°C until zygotes grow. After picking and rescreening the zygotes, the positive bacteria are named S. albus J1074 / pDR3- p69 - xylE The remaining tasks included the construction of promoter-containing plasmid vectors and the development of bacterial strains.

The specific steps are as follows: (1) Single clones of Streptomyces leuciscinus expressing XylE using the 30 promoters obtained in Example 3 were inoculated into YEME medium and cultured at 30°C until the stationary phase. After transfer, 1 mL samples were taken at 24 hours and 48 hours of culture.

[0056] According to the literature "Practical" StreptomycesGenetics. Norwich: The John Innes Foundation. The formula for calculating the enzyme activity of catechol-2,3-dioxygenase XylE is: mU [nmol / min]≈(30.03×ΔA375) / (time [min]); the formula for calculating the normalized enzyme activity is: XylE activity=(XylE enzyme activity [nmol / min]) / (total amount of added protein [mg]).
