Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of bioengineering technology, specifically relating to a method for constructing a metallothionein yeast surface display engineered strain that efficiently enriches copper ions. Background Technology

[0002] Copper is an essential trace element for animals, playing a vital role in their health and growth. Currently, most copper supplements are in inorganic form, but this type of copper presents numerous problems during use, such as low absorption rates, poor compatibility with other dietary components, high excretion rates, environmental pollution, and occasional poisoning in animals due to improper use. In recent years, the use of microorganisms to enrich trace elements needed by humans and animals has become a research hotspot both domestically and internationally.

[0003] Yeast, as a common microorganism, has shown in some wild yeast strains the ability to enrich and adsorb metals, making it possible to efficiently enrich copper ions using yeast. Metallothionein (MT), rich in cysteine ​​residues, can efficiently bind copper ions and is widely used for copper ion enrichment. However, traditional microbial adsorption methods require cell wall disruption to recover copper ions, and the adsorption efficiency is limited by the cell membrane barrier.

[0004] With the continuous advancement of biotechnology, techniques such as genetic engineering and metabolic engineering have become increasingly mature, providing technical support for constructing yeast strains with highly efficient metal accumulation capabilities. Genetic engineering can be used to modify yeast strains, enhancing their ability to absorb, transport, and accumulate metals. Metabolic engineering methods can optimize yeast metabolic pathways, enhancing their tolerance to metals and accumulation efficiency. By selecting metallothionein genes and highly expressing genes with binding and transport effects on various trace metals, engineered yeast strains capable of efficiently accumulating metal ions can be constructed.

[0005] In the prior art, the surface display technology of Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells is used to express exogenous proteins, but its application in the display of metallothionein still has the following problems: (1) the expression level of metallothionein is low, which affects the adsorption efficiency; (2) the stability of the display system is insufficient; (3) it lacks the ability to efficiently enrich copper ions. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a method for constructing a metallothionein yeast surface display engineered strain that efficiently enriches copper ions. This method can improve the display efficiency of metallothionein on the surface of Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells, enhance the enrichment capacity of engineered strains for copper ions, and reduce the cost of copper ion enrichment.

[0007] To achieve the purpose of this invention, the technical solution provided by this invention is: a method for constructing an engineered strain for displaying metallothionein surface with efficient enrichment of copper ions, comprising the following steps: a. Obtaining the plasmid for CUP1 gene synthesis: Based on the gene sequence of metallothionein gene CUP1-1 shown in SEQ ID NO. 1 in the NCBI database, codon optimization was performed with reference to the codon preference of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Histidine tag and stop codon were added to the C-terminus of the gene, and KpnI restriction site sequence GGTACC and EcoRI restriction site sequence GAATTC were added to both ends of the gene, respectively, to synthesize the CUP1 gene and further obtain the synthetic plasmid pUC-CUP1 shown in SEQ ID NO. 2; b. Double digestion: The surface display vector pYD1 of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and the synthetic plasmid pUC-CUP1 obtained in step a were double digested with restriction endonucleases KpnⅠ and EcoRI. The CUP1 gene fragment and linearized plasmid vector were obtained by water bath and then detected and verified by electrophoresis. c. Construction of recombinant display plasmid: The linearized vector fragment recovered in step b was ligated with the CUP1 gene fragment using solution I to obtain the ligation product; the ligation product was transformed into Escherichia coli competent cells DH5α and verified by PCR amplification to construct a strain containing the recombinant display plasmid pYD1-CUP1 as shown in SEQ ID NO 3; d. Saccharomyces cerevisiae transformation: The recombinant display plasmid pYD1-CUP1 was extracted from the strain verified in step c. The recombinant display plasmid pYD1-CUP1 was transformed into tryptophan auxotrophic Saccharomyces cerevisiae EBY100 using the lithium acetate method. Transformants were screened by MD plates, and yeast genomic DNA was extracted and used as a template for PCR amplification. PCR amplification was performed using CUP1-F as shown in SEQ ID NO. 4 and CUP1-RV as shown in SEQ ID NO. 5 as primers for verification. e. Validation of engineered bacteria: The ability of recombinant whole cells to adsorb copper ions was determined, and strains with high adsorption capacity were screened out.

[0008] Furthermore, in step b, the reaction was carried out in a water bath at 37°C for 2 hours; the enzyme digestion system for the Saccharomyces cerevisiae surface display vector pYD1 was: vector pYD1 32.8 μL, Kpn I 1.6 μL, EcoRI 1.6 μL, 10 × buffer 4 μL; the enzyme digestion system for the synthetic plasmid pUC-CUP1 was: synthetic plasmid pUC-CUP1 32.8 μL, Kpn I 1.6 μL, EcoRI 1.6 μL, 10 × buffer 4 μL.

[0009] Furthermore, in step c, ligation is performed overnight at 16°C using ligase solution I; the ligation system consists of: 10 μL of ligase solution I, 5 μL of the CUP1 gene fragment, and 5 μL of the recovered linearized plasmid vector fragment.

[0010] Furthermore, in step c, the competent E. coli cells are DH5α; the verification process is as follows: after screening on LB plates, single colonies are picked and inoculated for culture, and bacterial culture is used as a template, with CUP1-F as shown in SEQ ID NO 4 and CUP1-RV as shown in SEQ ID NO 5 as primers for bacterial culture PCR verification.

[0011] Preferably, in steps c and d, the PCR amplification system is: 10 μL of 2 × Premix Taq, 0.4 μL of CUP1-F, 0.4 μL of CUP1-RV, 0.4 μL of bacterial culture, and 8.8 μL of deionized water; the PCR amplification program is: pre-denaturation, 94 ℃, 4 min; denaturation, 94 ℃, 30 s; annealing, 55 ℃, 30 s; extension, 72 ℃, 30 s; final extension, 72 ℃, 10 min.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: (1) High efficiency enrichment: Metallothionein is displayed on the surface of Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells, which directly enriches copper ions, avoiding membrane barrier problems and significantly improving enrichment efficiency; (2) High stability: Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a host strain that is non-toxic and easy to culture. The engineered strain has high stability in actual environments. (3) Environmental protection and economy: Engineered bacteria can be cultivated on a large scale, with low cost and no secondary pollution. Attached Figure Description

The electrophoresis detection steps are as follows: (1) Select a suitable comb, glue-making board, and empty slot. Place the glue-making board into the appropriate empty slot and insert the comb into the glue-making board for use in pouring glue.

[0029] (2) Weigh 0.25 g agarose and 25 mL of 1×TAE buffer into an Erlenmeyer flask and shake slowly. Heat in a microwave oven for 30 s until the solution is clear and transparent, then add 3 μL of nucleic acid dye.

[0030] (3) Pour the fully dissolved agarose into the prepared gel casting plate, pouring slowly to prevent foaming. After the gel cools, slowly pull out the comb and place the solidified gel and the gel casting plate into the electrophoresis tank of the electrophoresis apparatus.

[0031] (4) Slowly add 1×TAE buffer to the electrophoresis tank until the gel block is submerged.

[0032] (5) Add the marker and sample to the spotting wells in sequence, with each adding 5 μL. If sample recovery is required, add all the sample to the wells and add 7 μL of marker.

The electrophoresis conditions are 100 V for 20 minutes. The detection results are as follows: Figure 1 As shown, where, Figure 1 Lane 1 shows the results of double digestion of the pYD1 vector.

[0039] (4) Add 900 μl of sterile LB medium (without ampicillin) to each centrifuge tube, mix well, and place in a shaker at 37°C and 150 rpm for 45 min. The purpose is to express the relevant resistance marker gene on the plasmid and revive the bacteria.

[0040] (5) Mix the contents of the centrifuge tube thoroughly, and add 100 μL of the transformed E. coli competent cells to an LB agar plate containing ampicillin. Gently spread the cells evenly with a spreader. Incubate the plate at room temperature until the liquid is absorbed. Invert the plate and incubate at 37 °C for 12–16 h. See transformation plate for details. Figure 3 The single colonies that grew were initially identified as transformants of the recombinant plasmid, but further verification is needed.

[0041] 3. Screening and verification of positive clones: Single colonies from transformation plates were picked and inoculated into 5 ml LB-Amp liquid tubes and cultured at 37 ℃ and 180 rpm / min for 12-16 hours. Using the bacterial culture as a template, and CUP1-F as shown in SEQ ID NO. 4 and CUP1-RV as shown in SEQ ID NO. 5 as primers, the CUP1 gene was amplified. The PCR reaction consisted of 30 cycles, and the amplification system and reaction program are shown in Table 5. The PCR results are as follows. Figure 4 As shown, the electrophoretic band in lane 1 is at 220 bp, consistent with the theoretical value, confirming that the recombinant plasmid has been successfully transformed into E. coli.
