AI Technical Summary
The natural metabolic network of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens exhibits low glucose utilization efficiency in L-tyrosine synthesis, particularly high consumption of phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) due to glucose uptake and phosphorylation, which limits the increase in L-tyrosine production.
By constructing an efficient glucose utilization pathway in Bacillus amyloliquefaciens, overexpressing the glucose permease gene glcP1 and the glucokinase gene glK, and deleting the gene ptsH encoding the phosphorylation carrier protein HPr, the 5'-UTR was optimized to enhance the expression of key genes, weaken the endogenous PTS system, strengthen the non-PTS pathway, and decouple the glucose phosphorylation process.
The L-tyrosine yield was significantly increased. The L-tyrosine yield of the engineered strain HZ12::Bao-glcP1::Cgb-glKΔptsH reached 407.16 mg/L, which was 43% higher than that of the original strain. After further overexpression of the DAHP synthase gene aroA and the prephenylacetic acid dehydrogenase gene tyrA, the yield increased to 1400.53 g/L, which was 3.82 times higher than that of the original strain.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of microbial genetic engineering technology, specifically relating to a method for constructing a Bacillus amyloliquefaciens chassis strain and its application. Background Technology
[0002] L-Tyrosine, an important aromatic amino acid, is not only a key component of protein synthesis but also a crucial precursor for many high-value bioactive compounds (such as levodopa, resveratrol, and various alkaloids), possessing broad market prospects in the pharmaceutical, nutritional supplement, and fine chemical industries. With the rapid development of synthetic biology and metabolic engineering, the green bio-manufacturing of L-tyrosine using microbial cell factories has become a mainstream alternative to traditional chemical extraction methods. Among numerous microbial hosts, *Bacillus amyloliquefaciens*, with its superior protein secretion capacity, clear genetic background, and recognized safe strains, is considered an excellent platform for producing amino acids and their derivatives. However, the efficient synthesis of L-tyrosine using the strain's natural metabolic network, particularly its carbon source utilization efficiency, especially glucose uptake and primary metabolic pathways, often becomes a key bottleneck limiting the accumulation of the target product.
[0003] In *Bacillus amyloliquefaciens*, glucose uptake and phosphorylation primarily rely on the phosphotransferase system (PTS). The PTS is a highly efficient but metabolically costly system: simultaneously with glucose transport into the cell, phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) is directly used as a phosphate donor, phosphorylating it to glucose-6-phosphate. While this process achieves simultaneous glucose transport and activation, it also leads to irreversible PEP consumption. Notably, PEP is a key metabolic precursor in the initiation stage of aromatic amino acid synthesis pathways. In the shikimic acid pathway, PEP condenses with erythrose 4-phosphate under the catalysis of DAHP synthase, which is the rate-limiting step of the entire pathway. In *E. coli*, 50% of intracellular PEP flows to the PTS system for glucose transport. Therefore, there is direct competition between PTS-mediated glucose uptake and L-tyrosine synthesis for PEP; this inherent metabolic conflict is considered a core factor limiting further increases in L-tyrosine production, as illustrated in the diagram below. Figure 1 As shown. Based on this, replacing PTS with an uptake mechanism and phosphorylation function independent of phosphoenolpyruvate may help enhance L-tyrosine synthesis in Bacillus amyloliquefaciens. Summary of the Invention
[0004] Technical Problem to be Solved: To address the aforementioned technical problems, the purpose of this invention is to provide a method for constructing a Bacillus amyloliquefaciens chassis strain and its application, reconstructing the glucose transport system of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens to increase L-tyrosine production. By identifying and targeting key genes involved in glucose uptake and phosphorylation in Bacillus amyloliquefaciens, and by screening and introducing high-performance heterologous glucose transporters and glucokinases, a novel, highly efficient glucose utilization pathway adapted to L-tyrosine synthesis is constructed in Bacillus amyloliquefaciens. Further optimization of the UTR enhances the expression levels of key genes. Finally, by weakening the endogenous PTS system and strengthening non-PTS pathways, the glucose phosphorylation process is decoupled from PEP, relying instead on ATP for energy, providing a new strategy and material basis for the efficient microbial production of this amino acid and its derivatives.
