Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a strain that produces high levels of L-homoserine, its construction method, and its applications. The invention belongs to the field of amino acid fermentation. Background Technology
[0002] L-homoserine belongs to the aspartic acid family of amino acids. As an intermediate amino acid, L-homoserine is a precursor to L-methionine and L-threonine, and also participates in the synthesis of some important compounds such as 1,4-butanediol, spermidine, tetrahydrofolate, and glufosinate. Compared with chemical synthesis methods, microbial fermentation is increasingly valued by researchers as a more economical and efficient method.
[0003] Currently, there are several main methods for producing L-homoserine: 1. Chemical method; 2. Chemical chiral resolution method; 3. Microbial method. Chemical synthesis methods have low yields, high reagent costs, and require large amounts of organic solvents, posing a significant environmental pollution threat. Microbial methods currently mainly involve constructing microbial cell factories using Escherichia coli or Corynebacterium glutamicum to generate L-homoserine from carbon sources such as glucose.
[0004] Microbial methods for preparing L-homoserine are currently a relatively advantageous approach. In the laboratory, shake-flask experiments are typically used to screen for high-yielding strains and optimize the basal culture medium. A strain that produces high yields in shake flasks demonstrates its high-yield potential. However, to achieve high yields in fermenters, the process parameters of the fermenter (dissolved oxygen, pH, feeding strategy, induction timing, etc.) must be re-optimized and finely controlled. If the scale-up process is not handled properly, it is common for the fermenter yield to be lower than that of the shake flask. Therefore, how to achieve efficient production of L-homoserine in industrial processes is an urgent problem to be solved. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The main objective of this invention is to address the aforementioned problems by providing a strain for the efficient fermentation production of L-homoserine, its construction method, and its applications. This strain utilizes a cofactor homogenization scheme to introduce a heterologous NADH-dependent dehydrogenase to replace the original NADPH-dependent dehydrogenase in *E. coli*, thereby removing cofactor limitations and constructing an efficient metabolic pathway for L-homoserine production. Furthermore, it knocks out the main byproduct pathway, enhances the supply of precursor substances, and strengthens the expression of efflux proteins.
[0006] The objective of this invention and the technical problem it solves are achieved by the following technical solutions.
[0007] The engineered strain HOS15 of this invention was developed by sequentially replacing the ptsG gene with the D-galactose transporter gene (galP) and the glucokinase gene (glk) from *E. coli*, knocking out the homoserine kinase gene (thrB), inserting the aspartate dehydrogenase gene (adhade) from *Achromobacter denitrificans* into the yedU and ymdE genes, and using the mutant aspartate semialdehyde dehydrogenase gene (ECasd). Q350N / H171A Insertion was performed into genes nmpC, fhiA, and tfaD. The homoserine dehydrogenase encoding gene (hompne) from *Polynucleobacter necessarius* subsp. *necessarius* was inserted into gene yghE. The pyruvate kinase encoding gene (pykA) was knocked out.

The construction steps of the mutant Escherichia coli HOS15 are as follows: Using pQcascade as a template, primer pairs were used respectively: pQcascade-ptsG-F and pQcascade-ptsG-R, pQcascade-thrB-F and pQcascade-thrB-R, pQcascade-yedU-F and pQcascade-yedU-R, pQcascade-ymdE-F and pQcascade-ymdE-R, pQcascade-nmpC-F and pQcascade-nmpC-R, pQcascade-fhiA-F and pQcascade-fhiA-R, pQcascade-tfaD-F and pQcascade-tfaD-R, pQcascade-yghE-F and pQcascade-yghE-R, and pQcascade-insC-F. PCR amplification was performed on pQcascade-insC-R, pQcascade-poxB-F and pQcascade-poxB-R, pQcascade-yqaC-F and pQcascade-yqaC-R, pQcascade-ldhA-F and pQcascade-ldhA-R, pQcascade-yqaC-F and pQcascade-yqaC-R, pQcascade-yjiV-F and pQcascade-yjiV-R, pQcascade-nuoF-F and pQcascade-nuoF-R. The amplified fragments were digested with DpnI methyltransferase and transformed into E. coli DH5α competent cells. Positive clones were screened on LB plates containing streptomycin and then amplified using primers. After successful sequencing verification using pQcascade-cexu-F, the sequences were named pQcascade-ptsG, pQcascade-thrB, pQcascade-yedU, pQcascade-ymdE, pQcascade-nmpC, pQcascade-nmpC, pQcascade-fhiA, pQcascade-tfaD, pQcascade-lysA, pQcascade-yghE, pQcascade-insC, pQcascade-poxB, pQcascade-yqaC, pQcascade-ldhA, pQcascade-yqaC, pQcascade-yjiV, and pQcascade-nuoF, respectively. Using pDonor and E. coli genomes as templates, primer pairs galP-up and galP-down, glk-up and glk-down, asd-up and asd-down, thrA-up and thrA-down, ppc-up and ppc-down, rhtA-up and rhtA-down, and thrA were used respectively. S345F -up and thrA S345F PCR was performed using primers pDonor-up and pDonor-down. The amplified fragments were digested with DpnI methyltransferase and transformed into E. coli DH5α competent cells. Positive clones were screened on ampicillin-resistant LB plates and then sequenced using primers pDonor-cexu-up and pDonor-cexu-down. After successful sequencing verification, the clones were named pDonor-galP, pDonor-glk, pDonor-asd, pDonor-thrA, pDonor-ppc, and pDonor-rhtA. In addition, pDonor-hompne and pDonor-adhade were synthesized directly by the company.
[0008] The pQcascade-ptsG plasmid and pDonor-glk were mixed with electrotransformed competent cells, placed in an electroporation cuvette, electroporated, and then recovered in LB liquid medium at 30°C.

After transformation, the cells were plated on LB agar plates containing ampicillin, streptomycin, and kanamycin and incubated at 30°C. After single colonies grew, a small number of single colonies were scraped off and resuspended in LB liquid medium containing the three antibiotics, and 0.1 mM IMPTG was added. After overnight incubation, the colonies were plated on solid LB medium containing the three antibiotics and 0.1 mM IMPTG. After single colonies grew, primers glk-yzup and glk-yzdown were used to transform the colonies. After sequencing verification and preparation of competent cells, pCutamp was added.

Single colonies were picked and spotted on LB solid medium containing ampicillin resistance, kanamycin resistance, streptomycin resistance, and 10 g / L sucrose to screen for engineered bacteria with pTnsABC, pQcascade, and pDonor plasmids eliminated. The bacteria on the sucrose plate were then transferred to LB solid medium containing apramycin and antibiotic-free medium to eliminate the pCutamp plasmid and obtain engineered strain HOS1. Electrocompetent cells were prepared from the E. coli mutant HOS1, mixed with pQcascade-ptsG plasmid and pDonor-galP plasmid, and the above steps were repeated. The E. coli mutant ΔptsG::glk was obtained by sequencing with primer pairs galP-yzup and galP-yzdown and named HOS1.

The above steps were repeated and sequenced using primer pairs galP-yzup and galP-yzdown to obtain the E. coli mutant ΔptsG::glkΔptsG::galP containing pCas plasmid, named HOS2. All subsequent gene editing steps were the same as above. Preferably, the method further includes the step of preparing electrocompetent cells: the engineered bacteria in the plate are inoculated into LB liquid shake tubes and cultured for 8 hours. Then, the culture is transferred to a 250 ml shake flask containing 50 ml of LB liquid medium and cultured for 3 hours.

(2) The yield of L-homoserine in the fermentation broth was detected, and the results are shown in Table 9. The results show that: Table 9: L-homoserine yield of different strains
[0041] Example 3: Effects of different construction methods on the fermentation preparation of L-homoserine by genetically engineered bacteria (1) The specific construction method is the same as HOS15, the difference being that the adjustment comes from Achromobacter denitrificans The aspartate dehydrogenases (adhade) (HOS15 strain) were: aspartate dehydrogenase from Pseudomonas aeruginosa (NCBI number: NC_002516.2), and aspartate from... Rhodopseudomonas palustrisAspartate dehydrogenase (NCBI ID: NZ_CP066699.1), derived from... Bradyrhizobium japonicum Aspartate dehydrogenase (NCBI ID: NZ_CP058354.1) was used to prepare HOS15-1, HOS15-2, and HOS15-3, respectively.
[0042] (2) The specific construction method is the same as that of HOS15, except that the homoserine dehydrogenase encoding gene (hompne) from Polynucleobacter necessarius subsp. Necessarius (HOS15 strain) is adjusted as follows: the homoserine dehydrogenase encoding gene from Bacillus subtilis (NCBI number: NC_000964.3), the homoserine dehydrogenase encoding gene from Corynebacterium glutamicum (NCBI number: NC_003450.3), and the homoserine dehydrogenase from Pseudomonas aeruginosa (NCBI number: NC_002516.2); and HOS15-4, HOS15-5, and HOS15-6 are prepared respectively.
[0043] (3) The specific construction method is the same as that of HOS15. The difference is that the number of copies of the mutant aspartate kinase encoding gene (thrA(S345F)) inserted into the IS2 transposable protein element encoding gene (insC) is adjusted to 1, 2, 3 and 5 respectively. The strains prepared are named as HOS15-7, HOS15-8, HOS15-9 and HOS15-10 respectively.
[0044] (3) The above-mentioned strains were prepared according to the method in Example 2, and the results are shown in Table 10: Table 10: L-homoserine yield of different strains
[0045] Example 4: Preparation of L-homoserine by fermentation of HOS15 genetically engineered bacteria under upper tank conditions The specific steps are as follows: Fermentation medium: citric acid 2 g / L, potassium dihydrogen phosphate 5 g / L, glucose 20 g / L, MgSO4·7H2O 1 g / L, VB1 5 mg / L, threonine 1 g / L.
[0046] The prepared HOS15 strain was streaked in LB solid medium and incubated at 37°C for 12 h to activate the strain. A single colony was picked and inoculated into a shake flask containing 50 mL of LB liquid medium and incubated at 37°C and 200 rpm for 10 h. Then, a 1% (v / v) inoculation was added to another shake flask containing 50 mL of LB liquid medium and incubated at 37°C and 200 rpm for 5 h. Finally, a 3% (v / v) inoculation was added to a 5 L fermenter containing 1.5 L of fermentation medium. The temperature was set at 37°C, and the aeration rate was 1.5 vvm. The pH was controlled at 7 by adding 25% ammonia. The fermentation speed was correlated with dissolved oxygen to maintain dissolved oxygen between 20-30%. Residual sugar was maintained at a low concentration by adding 60% (w / v) glucose solution. During fermentation, the L-threonine content was monitored in real time, and the L-threonine flow rate was adjusted accordingly. The growth phase (i.e., the first 30 days after fermentation) was monitored. h) Maintain dissolved oxygen at 30%, and after the stationary phase (i.e., 22-60 h after fermentation begins), maintain dissolved oxygen at 20%, with an initial aeration rate of 1.5 vvm. The feeding method during fermentation is to add L-threonine to the culture medium (to maintain the threonine concentration in the system at 1 g / L).
[0047] The fermentation time was 60 h. After fermentation, the yield of L-homoserine was 155 g / L and the highest OD600 value was 65.
