Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of biotechnology, specifically to an engineered strain of *Saccharomyces cerevisiae* that produces high levels of cyclic terpenes, its construction method, and its applications. Background Technology

[0002] Parcyclic terpenes are tricyclic sesquiterpenes, first discovered in Streptomyces, and are precursors to the antibiotic pentylpropionate. Parcyclic terpenes are present in extremely low amounts in their natural hosts, making it difficult to obtain sufficient quantities. Furthermore, their complex stereostructures hinder their chemical synthesis. However, advancements in synthetic biology, particularly the construction of microbial cell factories, have enabled the acquisition of these target compounds, presenting a significant opportunity for the large-scale application of parcyclic terpenes. Summary of the Invention

[0003] (a) Technical problems to be solved This invention aims to address the problem of low natural host content and high difficulty in chemical synthesis of cyclic terpenes in existing technologies, which makes it difficult to obtain them on a large scale. It provides a high-yield engineered strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae for cyclic terpenes, as well as related construction methods and applications, to achieve efficient biosynthesis of cyclic terpenes.

[0004] (II) Technical Solution To address the aforementioned problems, this invention proposes the following technical solution: The core idea of ​​this invention is to use CRISPR / Cas9 gene editing technology to perform multi-gene knockout and overexpression in the Saccharomyces cerevisiae JCR27 host, while optimizing the promoters of key genes, to construct a highly efficient microbial cell factory for synthesizing cyclic terpenes.

[0005] The specific technical solution is as follows: A high-yield cyclic terpene-producing *Saccharomyces cerevisiae* strain, LSc274, was developed by introducing expression box 1 (sequence 1) into a *Saccharomyces cerevisiae* host: knockout of the ROX1 gene (encoding the ROX1 transcription factor) and simultaneous overexpression of EGR20 (encoding farnesene pyrophosphate synthase), tHMG1 (encoding HMG-CoA reductase), and pentS gene (encoding cyclic terpene synthase); knockout of the EXG1 gene (encoding glucosidase) and simultaneous overexpression of tHMG1 and pentS genes; and knockout of the DPP1 gene (encoding diacylglycerol pyrophosphatase) into expression box 3 (sequence 3). The expression of tHMG1 and pentS genes was simultaneously overexpressed. The expression box 4 (sequence 4) was then transferred to achieve TRP1 gene knockout (o-aminobenzoic acid ester isomerase) and simultaneous overexpression of tHMG1 and pentS genes. The expression box 5 (sequence 5) was then transferred to replace the promoter of the ERG9 gene (encoding squalene synthase) with the HXT1 promoter (encoding glucose transporter). The expression box 6 (sequence 6) was then transferred to achieve GAL80 gene knockout (encoding galactose negative regulator protein) and overexpression of TRP1, URA3 (encoding orotidine 5-phosphate decarboxylase), LEU2 (encoding isopropyl malate dehydrogenase), and HIS3 (encoding histidine synthase) genes.

[0006] The engineered strain of the cycloterpene is the JCR27 strain derived from the Saccharomyces cerevisiae CEN.PK2-1D strain.

[0007] The expression frames mentioned are all integrated into the chromosome of Saccharomyces cerevisiae for expression.

[0008] The method for constructing the engineered strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae as described above includes the following steps: 1) Construction of target expression cassettes and recombinant plasmids: Design specific primers, amplify the relevant expression genes, promoters and terminators in each expression cassette by PCR, and construct recombinant expression plasmids p1, p2, p3, p4, p5, p6; 2) Construction of cycloterpene-synthesizing strains: Plasmids p1, p2, p3, p4, p5, and p6 were linearized by enzyme digestion, and the fragments containing the expression cassettes of the target expression were recovered; p1 was transformed into Saccharomyces cerevisiae JCR27, and the target fragment was integrated into the chromosome of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae genome using CRISPR / Cas9 gene editing to obtain LSC1; p2 was transformed into LSC1 in the same way to obtain strain LSC2; p3 was transformed into LSC2 in the same way to obtain strain LSC3; p4 was transformed into LSC3 in the same way to obtain strain LSC4; p5 was transformed into LSC4 in the same way to obtain strain LSC119; p6 was transformed into LSC119 in the same way to obtain strain LSC247, which is the engineered strain expressing cycloterpenes.

[0009] 3) Shake-flask fermentation of the strain: The recombinant strain was inoculated into 5 mL of medium and cultured overnight at 30 ℃ and 220 r / min. Then, it was transferred to 50 mL of medium with an initial OD600 value of 0.1-0.2. 10% volume of the covering agent n-decane was added to achieve in-situ extraction. After fermentation at 30 ℃ and 220 r / min for 72 h, the upper organic phase was taken for product and cyclic terpene detection. 4) Fermentation in a fermenter: A recombinant bacterial strain was inoculated into 5 mL of YPD medium and cultured overnight as a seed culture. This seed culture was then transferred to 200 mL of YPD medium and cultured overnight before being transferred to a fermenter. The fermentation temperature was 30℃. During fermentation, ammonia was introduced to maintain the pH at approximately 5.0. Glucose was fed to the fermenter for the first 24 hours. After 24 hours, a 10% IPM cover was applied, and the feed was switched to sucrose. The ethanol concentration was controlled at 1-5 g / L. Product changes were monitored; fermentation was stopped when product growth ceased.

[0010] This invention discloses the construction of an engineered strain of *Saccharomyces cerevisiae* containing cycloterpenes. The shake flask yield of cycloterpenes in this engineered strain is 905.83±84.61 mg / L, and the fermenter yield is 16.29±0.12 g / L, which is the highest yield reported to date and has development potential.

[0011] (III) Beneficial Effects 1. This invention constructs a high-yield polycyclic terpene-producing Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain LSc247 through the synergistic regulation of multiple gene knockout and overexpression. The yield of polycyclic terpenes in shake flask fermentation reached 905.83±84.61 mg / L, and the yield in fermenter fermentation was even higher at 16.29±0.12 g / L, which is the highest yield reported to date, significantly improving the biosynthetic efficiency of polycyclic terpenes.

[0012] 2. This invention integrates all gene modifications into the chromosome of Saccharomyces cerevisiae through homologous recombination, avoiding the use of unstable free plasmids, thus ensuring the stability of the engineered strain's traits during passage and fermentation, which is beneficial for industrial production.

[0013] 3. This invention provides a feasible technical solution for the large-scale production of cyclopene terpenes. The produced cyclopene terpenes can be used as a precursor for the antibiotic pentylpropionate, laying the foundation for the research and development and production of related pharmaceutical products and having broad industrial application prospects.
