Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of synthetic biology, specifically relating to a genetically engineered strain that produces high levels of triptolide. Background Technology
[0002] Triptonide is an epoxy diterpenoid lactone extracted from Tripterygium wilfordii. It is an important monomeric component with anti-inflammatory, anti-reproductive, and immunosuppressive activities. It can be used to treat diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA), nephropathy, and lupus erythematosus. A recent study showed that triptonide can be used as an effective and safe non-hormonal male contraceptive in mice and non-human primates, showing great promise for clinical application and market development.
[0003] Tripterygium lactones are found in very low concentrations in plants, and their complex and unstable chemical structures make plant extraction and chemical synthesis insufficient to meet the growing market demand. Heterologous production in microbial hosts is a sustainable and economically viable approach. The biosynthetic pathway of triptolide involves multiple CYP450 reactions, and the extremely low heterologous expression efficiency and activity of these CYP450s limit efficient heterologous production of triptolides, currently yielding only microgram-level production. Multiple optimizations of engineered strains are needed to improve yield, including increasing precursor yield, protein engineering and rational design, optimization of cofactors and electron transport chains, optimization of the CYP450 heterologous expression microenvironment, and regulation of key metabolic targets.

The culture was activated overnight for 12 h. The activated bacterial culture was then inoculated into 20 mL of YPD medium and cultured for 4-5 h. The cells were collected at 4000 rpm, the medium was removed, and the cells were resuspended in sterile water. The cells were collected again at 4000 rpm, the supernatant was removed, and the washing was repeated twice. The cells were then transferred to 1.5 mL EP tubes, 0.1 M LiAc was added, and the cells were resuspended. The cells were aliquoted into 50 µL tubes and collected at 4000 rpm. This bacterial cell is CEN.PK113-5D. * Yeast competent cells. 2) YPD culture medium preparation method: 1% yeast extract, 2% peptone, then add distilled water to a final volume of 1L, sterilize at 121 ℃ for 15 min; finally add glucose filtered through a 0.22 µm filter membrane to a final concentration of 2%.

Specifically, the picked colonies were placed in 20 mmol / L NaOH solution and lysed at 99°C for 20 min, followed by centrifugation for 2 min. The supernatant was collected and used as a template for PCR amplification with specific primers to obtain the PCR product. The reaction conditions were: 98°C pre-denaturation for 3 min; 95°C denaturation for 15 s, 55°C annealing for 15 s, 68°C extension for 30-60 s, for 30 cycles; and a final extension at 68°C for 10 min.

Add 100 mL of minimal medium containing 2% glucose to a 500 mL shaker flask, then add 2 mL of the bacterial culture and incubate at 30°C and 220 rpm for 18-24 h on a shaker to obtain the seed culture for fermenter cultivation. Detect the bacterial culture density (OD). 600 .
[0110] 2.

After preparing the fermenter, the fermentation seed liquid obtained in step 1 was added to the fermenter to adjust the initial bacterial density (OD). 600 The pH was set to 0.5. The temperature was set to 30°C, and the stirring speed was set to 200 rpm / min. The pH was automatically controlled using 4M KOH and 2M HCl.
