Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0002] This application relates to the field of genetic engineering technology, specifically to a regulatory system for degrading uric acid to lower uric acid levels and its application. Background Technology
[0003] Uric acid (UA) is an important intermediate product of the purine metabolic pathway. Clinically, normal uric acid levels in the human body are typically considered to be within the range of 2.4-6.0 mg / dL (women) and 3.4-7.0 mg / dL (men). Genetic factors, medications used to treat diseases, excessive alcohol consumption, lack of sleep, and high-purine diets can all increase the risk of uric acid homeostasis imbalance, leading to abnormally high blood uric acid levels and causing hyperuricemia (HUA). With the improvement of socioeconomic level, the enrichment of material life, and the acceleration of the pace of life, the incidence of hyperuricemia has increased significantly. Statistics from 2019 show that the prevalence of hyperuricemia in China was 13.3%, and the overall incidence of gout was 1.1%, showing a trend of patients becoming younger.
[0004] Recently, a series of applied studies have focused on the potential site of action of intestinal uric acid excretion, developing strategies for treating hyperuricemia with gut probiotics. For example, functional elements such as uricase are introduced into the mouse gut to enhance the activity of uric acid metabolism and reduce uric acid levels in humans. However, these gut probiotics vary in quality, with many exhibiting problems such as insufficient uric acid degradation activity, the need for co-administration, potential cytotoxicity, or the use of inducers (such as IPTG and galactose) that are easily absorbed by the human body, leading to a sharp decline in induction effects. Furthermore, the available substrate bacteria for current recombinant probiotic intervention routes are extremely limited.
[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop beneficial bacterial strains that can efficiently and stably lower uric acid levels to meet the growing demand for the treatment of hyperuricemia and gout. Summary of the Invention

[0028] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to specific embodiments. The embodiments given are merely illustrative of the invention and are not intended to limit its scope. The embodiments provided below can serve as a guide for further improvements by those skilled in the art and do not constitute a limitation on the invention in any way.
[0029] This application is based on the inventor's following understanding:
[0030] Currently, in addition to traditional treatment regimens using small molecule inhibitors to suppress uric acid synthesis and promote uric acid excretion, or injecting recombinant macromolecular drugs directly into the circulatory system to degrade uric acid, research is gradually proposing to modify gut probiotics to assist in uric acid metabolism and excretion. However, in practical applications, the unit degradation activity of recombinant probiotics is not stable enough and generally depends on the stimulation of specific natural and non-natural molecules. This dependence increases costs in practical applications and, more importantly, brings additional safety and stability concerns. For example, the non-natural strong initiator molecule isopropyl-β-D-1-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG), which is widely used in research, is not only expensive to produce but also has potential cytotoxicity; another example is the natural inducible molecule galactose, which is absorbed by the human body in the intestine and faces metabolic competition from other gut microbes, making it difficult to guarantee the induction effect. Furthermore, the available substrate bacteria for current recombinant probiotic intervention routes are extremely limited.
[0031] Based on this, this application proposes a regulatory system for degrading uric acid to lower uric acid levels. This system includes regulatory elements capable of achieving high-level uric acid transport and degradation. These regulatory elements are adaptable to yeast strains. Introducing a regulatory system containing these regulatory elements into *Saccharomyces cerevisiae* can achieve the expression of exogenous uricase with high uric acid-degrading activity and exhibit beneficial effects such as high whole-cell uric acid-lowering activity. The regulatory system proposed in this application and its application provide a more efficient and reliable option for microbial intervention in diseases such as hyperuricemia. Furthermore, its implementation requires no additional inducing agents, thus avoiding additional medical costs and potential cytotoxicity. It has low usage costs, wide applicability, and higher safety.

Representative sequences from mammals, archaea, fungi, Gram-positive bacteria, and Gram-negative bacteria were further selected from the obtained genomes. UOX sequences from Bacillus subtilis and Mus musculus were used as references (UOX sequences from each genome were not specified in the provided text). Bsub UOX Mmus ), and added to the sequence set (Table 1).
[0067] After optimizing candidate sequences for yeast expression preference using bioinformatics analysis, optimized sequences were synthesized. The specific workflow can be found in Patel, JR, Oh, J., Wang, S., Crawford, JM & Isaacs, FJ Cross-kingdom expression of synthetic genetic elements promotes discovery of metabolites in the human microbiome. Cell 185, 1487-1505.e14 (2022) and Koblan, LW, Doman, JL, Wilson, C., Levy, JM, Tay, T., Newby, GA, Maianti, JP, Raguram, A., Liu, DRI improving cytidine and adenine base editors by expression optimization and ancestral reconstruction. Nat Biotechnol. 36(9), 843–846 (2018). The optimized nucleic acid sequences are shown in Table 1.

[0250] The DNA coding sequence of the candidate UOX listed in Table 1 was artificially synthesized as CTCTGAAGGTTCTGTTTACCAAGAACCAAGACCACCATACGGTTTCCAAGGTTTCGTTGTTACTCAAGAAGACGTTAAGCAAAAGAAAGCTGCTGATTCTACTGTCGGTGCTAGTCGT (SEQ ID NO: 36). Following the YeastFab method, the optimized coding sequence was constructed into a standardized expression plasmid (refer to Guo, Y. et al. YeastFab: the design and construction of standard biological parts for metabolic engineering in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Nucleic Acids Res 43, e88 (2015).) to characterize the activity of the candidate UOX in the yeast system. Specifically, firstly, BsaI restriction endonuclease sites with standardized sticky end sequences were added to the 5' and 3' ends of the synthesized coding sequence by PCR, using primers shown in Table 2 (SEQ ID NO: 42-61). Then, the PCR products and HcKan_O plasmid were digested with BsaI enzyme (NEB, Cat#R3733L) and ligated with T4 DNA ligase (NEB, M0202L) before being transformed into Escherichia coli DH5α strain. The plasmids contained in the transformants were confirmed by selecting non-red transformants and performing colony PCR and Sanger sequencing, ultimately obtaining a series of HcKan_UOX coding sequence element plasmids (Table 3).
[0251] The constitutive promoter pTDH3 (SEQ ID NO: 16) and terminator tPGK1 (SEQ ID NO: 24) were amplified by PCR using the same method. The primers used are shown in Table 2 as SEQ ID NO: 72-85 and SEQ ID NO: 86-91, respectively. Based on the different normalized sticky end sequences, they were assembled into HcKan_P and HcKan_T plasmids, respectively, to obtain HcKan_pTDH3 and HcKan_tPGK1 plasmids (Table 3). Then, each of the obtained HcKan_UOX plasmids was combined with the HcKan_pTDH3 and HcKan_tPGK1 plasmids in the order of "promoter-UOX coding sequence-terminator," and together with the POT2 transcription unit vector, they were digested with BsmBI restriction endonuclease (NEB, R0739L) and then ligated with T4 DNA ligase. The specific sticky end sequences of "promoter, UOX coding sequence, terminator" were joined end-to-end to form a eukaryotic microbial gene expression transcription unit, which was then transformed into *E. coli* DH5α strain. The sequences of the plasmids containing the transcription units in the transformants were confirmed by selecting non-red transformants and performing colony PCR and Sanger sequencing, ultimately obtaining a series of POT2_TU_UOX expression plasmids (Table 3). The obtained expression plasmid was transformed into Saccharomyces cerevisiae BY4741 strain using the lithium acetate (LiAc) transformation method to obtain candidate UOX Saccharomyces cerevisiae expression strain (Table 4). This chassis strain was originally from the Jef D. Boeke team.
[0252] Example 2: Determination of the expression activity of candidate uricase in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
[0253] In this embodiment, the expression activity of the obtained Saccharomyces cerevisiae expression strain was measured to identify the total activity and specific activity of uricase expressed by candidate UOX in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
[0254] First, a single clone of the candidate UOX Saccharomyces cerevisiae expression strain was inoculated into 500 μL of SC. -Ura The culture was incubated in liquid medium at 30°C with shaking at 200 rpm for 48 hours to allow for recovery until the plateau phase. The plateau-phase culture was then re-inoculated into 5 mL of SC medium. -Ura In liquid culture medium, to initiate OD 600 =0.02, cultured at 30℃ with shaking at 200 rpm for 16 hours. OD of the bacterial culture was measured using a microplate reader. 600 Values, based on bacterial OD 600Numerical calculations were used to determine the required bacterial culture volume for 1.8 OD units of cells. The bacterial culture containing 1.8 OD units of cells was transferred to a 2 mL centrifuge tube and centrifuged at 3000 rpm for 3 min using a benchtop centrifuge (Eppendorf, Centrifuge 5418R). The supernatant was discarded. 1.8 mL of Y-PER was added. TM Yeast protein extract (Thermo Scientific, Cat#78790) was thoroughly pipetted to homogenize the settled cells, and incubated for 20 min at 12°C and 180 rpm using a thermostatic mixer (Eppendorf, ThermoStat Plus). The obtained yeast cell lysate was centrifuged at 4°C and 13000 rpm for 10 min using a benchtop centrifuge (Eppendorf, Centrifuge 5418R), and 150 μL of supernatant was collected and stored at -80°C for protein concentration determination. Another 500 μM supernatant was transferred to a deep-well plate, and UA was added to a concentration of 600 μM. After thorough mixing, 50 μL of the sample was immediately added to a 96-well plate containing 150 μL of PBS solution. The plate was then vibrated for 30 s using a microplate reader (BioTek, SynergyH1), and the A value was read. 300 The reading was taken as the initial reading of the reaction. The remaining reaction solution was incubated at 37°C with shaking at 150 rpm, and 50 μL samples were taken every 30 minutes to determine A using the method described above. 300 Readings. Compare the UA standard curve with the same solution system and dilution conditions, and record the degradation process of UA. Figure 2 After the UOX activity assay, the total protein concentration in the cell lysate supernatant was determined using a BCA protein concentration kit (Abcam Cat#ab207003) compatible with reducing agents, and the specific activity of candidate UOX in *Saccharomyces cerevisiae* was calculated (Table 5). These tests revealed that candidate UOX from *Vibrio vulnificus*, *Peribacillus simplex*, *Rhodococcus erythropolis*, *Halobacillus sp.*, *Natrinema versiforme*, and *Haloferax* sp. exhibited high uric acid degradation activity in the *Saccharomyces cerevisiae* system. The *Vibrio vulnificus* UOX, which showed the best performance, was selected. Vvul The next step is to construct the uric acid-lowering functional pathway.

[0394] The candidate UAT DNA coding sequences listed in Table 6 were artificially synthesized. Following the construction procedure in Example 1, these UAT sequences were ligated into the HcKan_O plasmid, ultimately obtaining a series of HcKan_UAT coding sequence element plasmids (Table 3). The primers used are shown in Table 2, SEQ ID NO: 62-71.
[0395] The constitutive promoter pEFB1 (SEQ ID NO: 17) and terminator tADH1 (SEQ ID NO: 25) were amplified by PCR using the same method (Table 3). Based on the different standardized sticky end sequences, they were assembled into HcKan_P and HcKan_T plasmids, respectively, to obtain HcKan_pEFB1 and HcKan_tADH1 plasmids (Table 3). Then, each of the obtained HcKan_UAT plasmids was combined with the HcKan_pEFB1 plus HcKan_tADH1 plasmid according to the rule of "promoter-UAT coding sequence-terminator," and ligated into the POT3 transcription unit vector to form a gene expression transcription unit. This unit was transformed into *E. coli* DH5α strain. Non-red transformants were selected, and colony PCR and Sanger sequencing were performed to confirm the sequence of the plasmids containing the transcription units within the transformants, ultimately obtaining a series of POT3_TU_UAT transcription unit plasmids (Table 3). The m416B pathway-carrying plasmid backbone was amplified by PCR, and a BsaI restriction endonuclease site with a standardized specific sticky end sequence was added. The PCR product was then purified, and the primers used are shown in Table 2 (SEQ ID NO: 92-93). Each obtained POT3_TU_UAT plasmid was then coupled with POT2_TU_UOX. Vvul The m416B backbone fragment was digested with BsaI restriction endonuclease and then ligated with T4 DNA ligase. Following the specific sticky end sequence "TU_UOX+TU_UAT", a uric acid transport and degradation pathway was formed. This pathway was then carried onto the m416B plasmid backbone and transformed into *E. coli* DH5α strain. Colony PCR and Sanger sequencing confirmed the sequence of the plasmid containing the transcription unit in the transformants, resulting in a series of m416B_UOX_UAT pathway expression plasmids (Table 3). These expression plasmids were then transformed into *Saccharomyces cerevisiae* BY4741 strain using the LiAc transformation method to obtain candidate uric acid-lowering *Saccharomyces cerevisiae* strains (Table 4).
[0396] Example 4: Determination of the expression activity of candidate uricase in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
[0397] The whole-cell uric acid-lowering activity of the candidate strains obtained in Example 3 was measured to identify the functional expression of candidate UAT in Saccharomyces cerevisiae and the unit cell uric acid degradation activity level. First, a single clone of the candidate strain was inoculated into 500 μL of SC. -Ura The culture was incubated in liquid medium at 30°C with shaking at 200 rpm for 48 hours to allow for recovery until the plateau phase. The plateau-phase culture was then re-inoculated into a solution containing 9 mL of SC. -Ura In 14 mL shake tubes of liquid culture medium, adjust the initial OD600 to 0.02 and incubate for 16 hours at 30°C and 200 rpm with shaking. Measure the OD600 value of the bacterial culture using a microplate reader. Centrifuge the bacterial culture at 3000 rpm for 5 min and discard the supernatant. Based on the OD600 value of the bacterial culture... 600 Numerical calculations were performed by resuspending the bacterial culture in PBS solution to a final volume of 7.5 OD units / mL (10⁻⁶). 8 (CFU / mL). Pipette 1 mL of the resuspended bacterial culture into a deep-well plate, add UA to the resuspended culture to a final concentration of 600 μM, and mix immediately. Add 50 μL of the supernatant to a 96-well plate containing 150 μL of PBS solution. After shaking for 30 seconds using a microplate reader (BioTek, Synergy H1), read the A300 value as the initial reading of the reaction. Incubate the remaining cell resuspended culture at 30°C and 200 rpm, and take 50 μL samples every 3 hours to measure the A300 value using the same method. Compare the A300 value with the UA standard curve under the same solution system and dilution conditions, and record the UA degradation process. The results are as follows: Figure 3 As shown.
[0398] Depend on Figure 3 The test results shown revealed UAT from Aspergillus nidulans. UapA It can be functionally expressed in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and is associated with UOX from Vibrio vulnificus. Vvul After forming the functional pathway, its pathway activity expression plasmid m416B-pTDH3_UOX Vvul _tPGK1-pEFB1_UAT UapA _tADH1 can confer high levels of uric acid degradation activity on the whole cells of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, with a corresponding cell viability of 303.91±79.05 μM / hr / 10 9 CFU (Table 7).

[0401] Example 5: Optimization of the uric acid degradation regulation system in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
[0402] The pathway activity plasmid m416B-pTDH3_UOX, which enables whole-cell uric acid degradation, was successfully expressed in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Vvul _tPGK1-pEFB1_UAT UapA The transcriptional regulatory elements used in _tADH1 were further optimized through combination. First, constitutive promoters engineered from *Saccharomyces cerevisiae* (including pPGK1, pPDC1, pCCW12, pENO2, pFBA1, and pTEF2) and the terminator tSCW4, which enhances transcriptional expression, were selected, with sequences shown in SEQ ID NO: 18-23 and SEQ ID NO: 26, respectively. The above strong promoters were then used to replace UAT using the Gibson assembly method. UapA The promoter of pEFB1 (Gibson, DG, Young, L., Chuang, RY, Venter, JC, Hutchison, CA, 3rd, & Smith, HOEnzymatic assembly of DNA molecules up to several hundred kilobases. Nature methods, 6 (5), 343–345 (2009).).
[0403] Specifically, the strong promoter was first amplified from the BY41741 genome by PCR, and homologous arms corresponding to the initial plasmid pEFB1 sequence were added to the 5' and 3' ends, respectively. The PCR product was then purified. The original plasmid backbone was amplified by reverse PCR starting upstream and downstream of pEFB1, and the PCR product was purified. The primers used are shown in Table 2, SEQ ID NO: 94-109. The obtained strong promoter fragments were mixed with the plasmid backbone at a fragment:backbone ratio of 3:1, added to a Gibson assembly mastermix (NEB, Cat#E2611), and incubated at 50°C for 1 hour using a thermal cycler. The mixture was then transformed into *E. coli* DH5α strain. Colony selection and Sanger sequencing confirmed the plasmids contained in the transformants, ultimately yielding UAT driven by strong promoters of different constitutive types. UapA The pathway activity plasmids encoding the sequences are shown in Table 3. The constructed pathway activity plasmid variants were transformed into strain BY4741 to obtain new whole-cell uric acid-lowering candidate strains. The whole-cell uric acid-lowering activity test in Example 4 was repeated using the above strains, and it was found that UAT was driven by five strong promoters (pPDC1, pPGK1, pCCW12, pFBA1, pTEF2). UapA Expression of the coding sequence can effectively improve the whole-cell uric acid degradation activity of the strain and eliminate the unstable m416B-pTDH3_UOX in the cell. Vvul_tPGK1-pPGK1_UAT UapA After combining _tADH1, m416B-pTDH3_UOX Vvul _tPGK1-pPDC1_UAT UapA The _tADH1 combination exhibited the highest level of activity, reaching 552.76±29.98 μM / hr / 10 9 CFU (Table 8). Based on these, using the Gibson method described above, UOX is... Vvul The transcription unit terminator was replaced with tSCW4, and the resulting strain was transformed into BY4741 to obtain a candidate strain for further modification. Using the new candidate strain, whole-cell uric acid degradation activity tests were repeated, revealing a significant increase in uric acid degradation activity in all modified expression systems, and the presence of m416B-pTDH3_UOX was also observed. Vvul _tSCW4-pPDC1_UAT UapA The _tADH1 plasmid combination conferred the highest level of uric acid degradation activity to the Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain, reaching 675.31±14.13 μM / hr / 10. 9 CFU (Table 8, Figure 3 ).

[0517] Example 6: Transplantation of the function of reducing uric acid
[0518] After establishing the optimized uric acid degradation pathway, the optimal combination of regulatory elements from Example 5 was transplanted into the probiotic *Saccharomyces boulardii* MYA-796 strain. This strain was purchased from the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC). To achieve the goal of pathway activity transplantation, the MYA-796 strain needed to be preliminarily modified to free up selectable tags for transformation. First, the reverse complementary sequence of the URA3 gene at positions 229-248 of strain MYA-796 was selected as the CRISPR / Cas9 knockout target sequence. The genomic template in the product was removed by reverse PCR using KLD enzyme mix (NEB, Cat#M0554) and then enzymatically circularized. This 20bp target sequence was inserted into the 5′ end of the gRNA scaffold sequence carried by the pCAS plasmid (Addgene, Plasmid#60847) and transformed into E. coli DH5α strain. The plasmid contained in the transformants was confirmed by colony selection and Sanger sequencing to obtain the pCAS-sgRNA-SbURA3 plasmid. Then, using OE-PCR, the 1-261bp and 224-520bp URA3 coding sequences were amplified from the MYA-796 genome and spliced together. Simultaneously, the TCC in the 241-243bp sequence was replaced with TAA, forming a 520bp URA3 double-strand break repair template SbURA3-TAA with an early stop codon. The primers used are listed in Table 2, SEQ ID NO: 110-115. The pCAS-sgRNA-SbURA3 plasmid and the repair template SbURA3-TAA were simultaneously transformed into the MYA-796 strain. Transformants resistant to G418 antibiotics were randomly selected and simultaneously transformed into SC... -URA Colony agar plates were prepared using SC solid culture medium. Corresponding colony spots were selected from SC plates. -URA Colonies that failed to grow on plates were confirmed by colony PCR and Sanger sequencing to have a TAA mutation in the URA3 gene at 241-243 bp in strain MYA-796. Finally, a mutant strain, MYA-796ΔURA3 (Table 4), which failed to grow under Uracyl conditions, was obtained. This strain can be used for plasmid transformation screening with the URA3 gene tag. The pathway activity plasmid m416B-pTDH3_UOX, expressing the optimal uric acid degradation activity, was then transformed. Vvul _tSCW4-pPDC1_UAT UapA_tADH1 was transformed into the MYA-796ΔURA3 strain and, together with the Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain carrying the same pathway activity plasmid in Example 4, the whole-cell uric acid-lowering activity test was repeated at 37°C (close to human body temperature). The results are shown in Table 9 and Figure 4 As shown.
[0519] Tests revealed that, under human body temperature conditions, plasmids carrying the uric acid degradation pathway could still achieve high levels of uric acid degradation activity in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, reaching 676.43±19.08 μM / hr / 10. 9 CFU levels (Table 9). Whole-cell uric acid-lowering agents were successfully transplanted into the probiotic *Saccharomyces boulardii* strain, achieving an activity of 372.22 ± 23.98 μM / hr / 10 under human body temperature conditions. 9 The CFU levels (Table 9) all showed a highly significant uric acid degradation effect compared to their unmodified chassis bacteria, indicating that the uric acid degradation regulation system proposed in this application can be effectively used in eukaryotic intestinal bacteria such as yeast and effectively degrade uric acid.
