Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of microbial metabolic engineering and industrial biotechnology, and relates to a highly active engineered yeast strain, its construction method, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] The study of biological aging mechanisms has long been a hot topic in life science research. The aging process is influenced by many factors, such as metabolism, damage repair, and energy limitation. Using higher organisms as aging models faces numerous challenges, including high costs and complex backgrounds. However, *Saccharomyces cerevisiae*, as a eukaryotic model organism, possesses advantages such as rapid growth and reproduction, a short metabolic cycle, a clear genetic background, and mature and diverse gene-editing technologies, making it a suitable host for studying aging mechanisms. With the development of molecular biology techniques, genetic factors have been found to play a crucial role in cellular senescence. In yeast, autophagy is essential for cell survival during periods of unfavorable metabolite and organelle accumulation, as well as nutrient deficiency, because it degrades macromolecules, providing new nutrients and energy for intracellular metabolism. Autophagy is influenced by nutrient-response kinases, including the target of rapamycin (TOR), protein kinase A (PKA), and AMP-protein kinase (AMPK) (Fontana et al. Science. 2010, 328, 321-326). TOR is a primitive negative regulator of autophagy, which is inhibited under starvation conditions. It can promote starvation-induced autophagy by activating TOR targets ATG13, ULK1, and ULK2 (Ravikumar et al. Physiol. Rev. 2010, 90, 1383-1435). Energy restriction (DR), which involves reducing nutrient supply in the absence of malnutrition, is known to extend the lifespan of various organisms, from yeast to primates (Anderson et al. J. Hum. Biol. 2012, 24, 101-106). It is mainly mediated by the reduction of signaling in the overlapping RAS-PKA and TOR / SCH9 pathways. In recent years, there have been relatively systematic research results on the anti-aging mechanisms of yeast cells, but there are no experimental studies on anti-aging modules and chassis bioconstruction combined with metabolic engineering of bacterial strains.

[0014] Alternatively, CRISPR / Cas9 technology can be used to weaken the nitrogen-responsive transcription factor gene TOR1 in the highly active yeast engineered strain obtained above.

[0015] The nitrogen-responsive transcription factor gene TOR1 and the cAMP-dependent protein kinase catalytic subunit gene TPK1 of the engineered yeast strain were weakened using CRISPR / Cas9 technology.

[0016] Furthermore, the recombinant yeast engineered strain fused to express the acyl-CoA reductase gene MaFAR1; the expression is a direct fusion expression; the construction method includes optimizing the copy number of the acyl-CoA reductase gene MaFAR1 expressed on the chromosome; the recombinant yeast strain is constructed by sequentially fusing the upstream homologous arm, promoter, MaFAR1, terminator, and downstream homologous arm of the chromosome, and transforming it into Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Pichia pastoris, Hansenula polymorpha, or Yersinia lipolytica; the construction method includes weakening or knocking out the TOR1 or TPK1 gene of the host strain.

[0017] To go further,

[0018] A method for constructing engineered bacteria to improve the production of fatty alcohols, wherein the recombinant yeast engineered bacteria integrates and expresses the acyl-CoA reductase gene MaFAR1 on its chromosome.

[0019] The expression described is a direct integration expression.

[0020] The construction method includes optimizing the copy number of the acyl-CoA reductase gene MaFAR1 expressed on the chromosome.

[0021] The recombinant yeast strain is constructed by sequentially fusing the upstream homologous arm, promoter, MaFAR1, terminator, and downstream homologous arm of the chromosome into Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Pichia pastoris, Hansenula polymorpha, or Yersinia lipolytica.

[0022] The integrated expression involves inserting the acyl-CoA reductase gene MaFAR1, derived from Marinobacter sp. ES-1, into the chromosome of Saccharomyces cerevisiae through codon optimization.

[0023] The construction method involves expressing a copy of the acyl-CoA reductase gene MaFAR1 on chromosome NSX-3.

[0024] The recombinant yeast strain was constructed by sequentially fusing the upstream homologous arm, promoter, MaFAR1, terminator, and downstream homologous arm of the chromosome into the engineered Saccharomyces cerevisiae PC06.

[0037] Unless otherwise specified, the experimental methods used in the following examples are conventional methods.

[0038] Unless otherwise specified, all materials and reagents used in the following examples are commercially available.

[0039] This invention combines the anti-aging module of metabolically engineered strains with chassis bioconstruction, downregulating the response of aging pathways to upregulate the survival and biosynthetic capacity of yeast cells. The highly active engineered yeast strain is obtained by first integrating the fusion gene I on the chromosome of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae starting strain, and then by weakening or knocking out the nitrogen-responsive transcriptional regulator and cAMP-dependent protein kinase catalytic subunit of the engineered strain.

[0040] In this embodiment of the invention, the *Saccharomyces cerevisiae* strain PC06 was modified. The *Saccharomyces cerevisiae* strain PC06 was obtained by optimizing the central metabolic pathway of *Saccharomyces cerevisiae* to enhance the supply of the precursor acetyl-CoA and the cofactor NADPH. The detailed process is as follows:

[0041] The ATP-dependent citrate lyase gene MmACL, the malate synthase gene RtME, the signal peptide-removing malate dehydrogenase gene 'MDH3, and the citrate transporter gene CTP1 were integrated into the HIS3 gene locus (donor DNA: HIS3up-HIS3-P). TPI1 -MmACL-T FBA1 -P TDH3 -RtME-T CYC1 -P tHXT7 -'MDH3-T TDH2 -P PGK 1-CTP1-T ADH1 -P TEF1 -'tesA-T HIS3 ); The pyruvate carboxylase gene promoter P PYC1 Replace with promoter P TEF1 Overexpression of pyruvate transporter genes MPC1 and MPC3 at the XI-4 site (donor DNA XI-4up-P) tHXT7 -MPC3-T DIT1 -T MPC1 -MPC1-P TPI1 -XI-4dw); Integrating AnACL genes (AnACLa and AnACLb) into the X2 site (donor DNA is X2up-T). CYC1 -AnACLa-P GAL1 -P GAL10 -AnACLb-T ADH1 -X2dw); The citrate synthase gene RtCIT1, the isocitrate dehydrogenase gene IDP2, and the gene encoding citrate, oxaloacetate, and α-ketoglutarate transporters YHM2 were integrated into the GAL1, GAL7, and GAL10 sites (donor DNA was T). GAL7 -P TPI1 -RtCIT1-T FBA1 -T CYC1-IDP2-P THD3 -P TEF1 -YHM2-T GAL1 This involves integrating the DNA fragment while simultaneously knocking out the GAL1, GAL7, and GAL10 genes; and replacing the promoter of the glucose-6-phosphate isomerase PGI1 gene with promoter P. COX9 It also overexpressed the GND1, TKL1, TAL1, and ZWF1 genes of the pentose phosphate pathway, with P as the donor DNA. GI1 -P COX9 -T CYC1 -GND1-P THD3 -P tHXT7 -TKL1-T TDH2 -T ADH1 -TAL1-P PGK1 -P TEF1 -ZWF 1-T ZWF1 -PGI1up; This will promote the isocitrate dehydrogenase IDH2 gene promoter P... IDH2 Replace with promoter P GSY1 Knock out the multifunctional acyl-CoA thioesterase I gene 'tesA'.

[0042] The original strains used in the above embodiments are also applicable to wild-type Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains, such as strain S288C.

[0043] The basic (Delft) fermentation medium formulation used in the following examples is as follows: (NH4)2SO4 2.5 g / L, KH2PO4 14.4 g / L, MgSO4·7H2O 0.5 g / L, trace metals (3 mg / L F, FeSO4·7H2O, 4.5 mg / L ZnSO4·7H2O, 4.5 mg / L CaCl2·2H2O, 1 mg / L MnCl2·4H2O, 0.3 mg / L CoCl2·6H2O, 0.3 mg / L CuSO4·5H2O, 0.4 mg / L Na2MoO4·2H2O, 1 mg / L H3BO3, 0.1 mg / L KI, 19 mg / L Na2EDTA·2H2O), vitamins (0.1 mg / L biotin, 2 mg / L pantothenic acid, 2 mg / L thiamine, 2 mg / L pyridoxine, 2 mg / L niacin, 0.4 mg / L aminobenzoic acid, 50 mg / L inositol), with 20 g / L glucose added, and the initial pH adjusted to 5.6 with KOH.

[0044] The formula for enriched YPD culture medium is: 10 g / L yeast extract, 20 g / L peptone, and 20 g / L glucose.

[0045] Example 1: Construction of a yeast strain for synthesizing fatty alcohols

[0046] A schematic diagram illustrating the metabolic engineering strategy that promotes fatty alcohol synthesis in brewer's yeast is shown below. Figure 1 As shown.

[0047] The modification method employed was CRISPR / Cas9, as referenced in Yang et al., Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology, 2020, 104: 3037-3047. The only difference lay in the chromosomal location of integration and the use of a different 20bp sgRNA sequence (NSX-3: TGCCTGAAACGATAGCTGTA / TCCGAGCAAGCAATCATCGG). The upstream and downstream homologous fragments at each integration site ranged in length from 300 to 500 bp.

[0048] Using *Saccharomyces cerevisiae* CEN.PK 113-11C (obtained from a known strain, CEN.PK113-11C(MATa; SUC2; MAL2-8c; his3Δ1; ura3-52;). See J. Agric. Food Chem. 2022, 70, 7180-7187) as a template, the upstream homologous arm NSX-3UP of the chromosome was amplified (primers: F: GGCCTTTGATCCTTCCCC; R: GTAAGAATTTTTGAAAATTCAATATAACAAAGCCCGAGAAACGCAAAT). The chromosome contains the following components: GC), promoter GAL1p (primers: F: TTTGTTATATTGAATTTTCAAAAATTCTTACTTTTTTTTTGGATGGAC; R: TTTGTATAGTTTTTTCTCCTTGACGTTAAAGTATAGAG), terminator CYC1t (primers: F: GATACCGTCGACCTCGAGTCATG; R: GGGTACCGGCCGCAAATTAAAG), and downstream homologous arm NSX-3DOWN (primers: F: CTCGAAGGCTTTAATTTGCGGCCGGTACCCCCCCGCGTAAATACGCGG; R: GGCAGTAAATGCCGCGC).

[0049] The acyl-CoA reductase gene MaFAR1 was synthesized in its entirety after codon optimization. The base sequence of the whole gene after codon optimization is shown in SEQ ID NO: 1.

[0050] The above-mentioned NSX-3UP, GAL1p, MaFAR1, CYC1t, and NSX-3DOWN are fused together to form growth fragments. The NSX-3 sgRNA expression vector (constructed as described in reference Yang et al., Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology, 2020, 104: 3037-3047) was based on the Cas9 protein recognition sequence selected from the NSX-3 sequence. The vector was divided into three parts: recognition site 1 fragment (primers: F: AAACTTCTCCGCAGTGAAAGATAAATGATCTGCCTGAAACGATAGCTG TAGTTTTAGAGCTAGAAATAG; R: GCGGTTAGCTCCTTCGGTCCTCCGATCGTTGTCAGAAGTAAGTTGGCC GCAGTGTTATC. Template: Saccharomyces cerevisiae CEN.PK 113-11C genome), vector backbone fragment (primer: GATCATTTATCTTTCACTGCGGAGAAG. Template: pYSg4), and recognition site 2 fragment (primer: F: AAACTTCTCCGCAGTGAAAGATAAATGATCTCCGAGCAAGCAATCATC). GGGTTTTAGAGCTAGAAATAG; R: GATAACACTGCGGCCAACTTACTTCTGACAACGATCGGAGGACCGAA GGAGCTAACCGC. The template is the Saccharomyces cerevisiae CEN.PK 113-11C genome. The three fragments were fused using the ClonExpress II One Step Cloning Kit into the expression vector NSX-3sguide and the donor DNA (NSX-3UP-P). GAL1 -MaFAR1-T CYC1 500 ng each of -NSX-3DOWN were chemically transformed into Saccharomyces cerevisiae PC06. The transformed cells were plated onto screening plates and incubated upside down at 30°C for 3 days. Single-clone transformants were cultured in liquid SD medium and verified by colony PCR. Then, they were plated on plates containing 5-fluoroorotic acid for plasmid loss. The resulting strain was preserved for later use. The strain with plasmid loss was named engineered strain PFOH05.

[0051] Shake-flask fermentation of the engineered strain PFOH05 was used for cell state assessment, employing a 20 mL fermentation broth / 100 mL Erlenmeyer flask culture system. Delft medium (20 mL) was used, inoculated with an OD600 of 0.1 and a pH of 5.6. Fermentation was initiated at 30°C and 220 rpm. Glucose consumption (using 20 g / L glucose as the carbon source in Delft medium), ethanol accumulation, and biomass were measured at 8 h, 12 h, 18 h, 22 h, 30 h, 46 h, 56 h, and 96 h. After fermentation, fatty alcohols were extracted and tested, confirming that PFOH05 could synthesize fatty alcohols de novo. The fatty alcohol yield of the engineered strain PFOH05 reached 209.2 mg / L (see [link to relevant documentation]). Figure 2 ).

Subsequently, the gRNA expression vector and gene expression cassette (500 ng each) were chemically transformed into *Saccharomyces cerevisiae*. The transformed cells were plated onto selection plates and incubated upside down at 30°C for 3 days. Single-clone transformants were cultured in liquid SD medium and verified by colony PCR. Then, they were plated on plates containing 5-fluoroorotic acid for plasmid loss. The resulting strain was named engineered strain PS01 and stored for later use. Fermentation was performed using 20 mL of basic fermentation medium per 100 mL shake flask, with an initial pH of 5.6, an initial OD600 of 0.1, at 30°C and 220 rpm for 96 h. The fatty alcohol yield was then measured. Using pentadecyl alcohol as an internal standard, GC analysis showed that the fatty alcohol yield of engineered strain PS01 reached 248.7 mg / L. Figure 3 ).

[0054] Example 3: Knockout of cAMP-dependent protein kinase catalytic subunit TPK1

[0055] The engineered strain PS02 was obtained by knocking out the cAMP-dependent protein kinase catalytic subunit TPK1 in the engineered strain PS01. The specific implementation method is as follows. First, an sgRNA expression vector targeting the TPK1 gene was constructed. Then, 300-400 bp sequences upstream and downstream of the TPK1 gene were amplified, and donor DNA fragments were obtained by fusion PCR.

These transformants were then plated on plates containing 5-fluoroorotic acid for plasmid loss. The resulting strain was named engineered strain PS02 and stored for later use. Fermentation was performed using 20 mL of basal fermentation medium per 100 mL shake flask, with an initial pH of 5.6, an initial OD600 of 0.1, at 30°C and 220 rpm for 96 h.
