Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of microbial technology, specifically relating to a high-throughput screening system and its application based on antioxidant ginseng peptide derivative fusion protein. Background Technology

[0002] Ginseng, a plant belonging to the Araliaceae family, has been used as both food and medicine since ancient times. Ginseng is rich in saponins, polysaccharides, polypeptides, and organic acids, among which ginsenosides, polysaccharides, and polypeptides are bioactive components. Ginseng peptides are biofunctional peptides obtained from the breakdown products of ginseng or ginseng protein. Ginseng peptides can be directly absorbed by the human body without digestion, reducing the burden on the gastrointestinal tract and significantly enhancing its physiological regulatory effects. Therefore, they have broad application prospects in pharmaceutical development, functional foods, and cosmetics.

[0003] Currently, the acquisition of ginseng peptides mainly relies on extraction from ginseng roots or chemical synthesis. The former has problems such as low yield of target protein and complicated purification steps, while the latter has problems such as harsh reaction conditions, many by-products, and difficulty in meeting the needs of industrialization. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a method to obtain the target product efficiently.

[0004] Heterologous synthesis of ginseng peptides using microbial recombinant expression systems is a potential alternative strategy. However, current monitoring of recombinant strain expression products and screening of high-yielding strains mainly rely on in vitro detection methods such as SDS-PAGE or HPLC. These methods are cumbersome, have long detection cycles, and low screening efficiency. Therefore, developing a rapid, high-throughput screening system is a key requirement for efficiently obtaining target products. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the aforementioned problems, this invention provides a high-throughput screening system and its application based on antioxidant ginseng peptide derivative fusion proteins. This high-throughput screening system couples the expression level of antioxidant ginseng peptide derivatives with the fluorescence intensity of a fluorescent reporter protein. The expression level of antioxidant ginseng peptide derivatives can be indirectly reflected by the fluorescence signal intensity, thereby enabling rapid and efficient screening of strains that produce high levels of antioxidant ginseng peptide derivatives.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the specific technical solution of the present invention is as follows: The first aspect of the present invention provides a high-throughput screening system based on an antioxidant ginseng peptide derivative fusion protein, wherein the antioxidant ginseng peptide derivative fusion protein comprises an antioxidant ginseng peptide derivative sequence and a fluorescent reporter protein sequence; wherein the antioxidant ginseng peptide derivative sequence is selected from at least one of SEQ ID NO.1, SEQ ID NO.2 and SEQ ID NO.3.

[0007] Furthermore, the fluorescent reporter protein is a green fluorescent protein, a yellow fluorescent protein, or a red fluorescent protein.

[0008] Furthermore, the antioxidant ginseng peptide derivative fusion protein is prepared by the following steps: The antioxidant ginseng peptide derivative sequence and the green fluorescent protein sequence were cloned into an expression vector to obtain a recombinant vector. The recombinant vector was transformed into E. coli and then the recombinant plasmid was extracted. The recombinant plasmid was introduced into a host bacterium to obtain a recombinant strain; The recombinant strain was cultured to express the antioxidant ginseng peptide derivative fusion protein.

[0009] Furthermore, the antioxidant ginseng peptide derivative is obtained by tandem repeating the sequences shown in SEQ ID NO.1, SEQ ID NO.2 and SEQ ID NO.3.

[0010] Furthermore, the expression vector is pMA5 or pP43NMK.

[0011] Furthermore, the host bacterium is Bacillus subtilis.

[0012] A second aspect of the present invention provides an application of the high-throughput screening system described above in screening strains that produce high levels of antioxidant ginseng peptide derivatives.

[0013] A third aspect of this invention provides a method for screening strains that produce high levels of antioxidant ginseng peptide derivatives. The method employs the high-throughput screening system described above and specifically includes the following steps: Mutagenesis was performed on host bacteria containing the high-throughput screening system to obtain mutant strains by creating mutant libraries. The fluorescence intensity of the mutant strain was detected under excitation / emission light conditions, and strains with the highest fluorescence intensity per unit cell were screened. Screening for strains with the highest fluorescence intensity per unit cell reduces workload and relatively increases the positive screening rate.

[0014] Furthermore, the mutagenesis is performed using atmospheric pressure, room temperature plasma mutagenesis technology.

[0015] Furthermore, the antioxidant ginseng peptide derivative fusion protein in the high-throughput screening system contains a green fluorescent protein sequence.

[0016] Furthermore, the excitation / emission conditions are 488nm / 507nm.

[0017] Furthermore, the host bacterium is Bacillus subtilis.

[0018] The fourth aspect of this invention provides a Bacillus subtilis strain that produces high levels of antioxidant ginseng peptide derivatives. Bacillus subtilis The Bacillus subtilis was obtained by screening using the method described above; the Bacillus subtilis is deposited at the China General Microbiological Culture Collection Center, with accession number CGMCC NO.38855.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: This invention provides a high-throughput screening system based on an antioxidant ginseng peptide derivative fusion protein. The fusion protein comprises an antioxidant ginseng peptide derivative sequence and a fluorescent reporter protein sequence, wherein the antioxidant ginseng peptide derivative sequence is selected from at least one of SEQ ID NO.1, SEQ ID NO.2, and SEQ ID NO.3. This screening system physically couples the expression level of the antioxidant ginseng peptide derivative with the fluorescence signal intensity, converting the invisible yield of the antioxidant ginseng peptide derivative into a quantitatively detectable fluorescence signal, forming a genetic sensing system that can directly assess the expression level of the target product. This invention is the first to use a peptide-fluorescent protein fusion expression sensing element to screen strains that produce high levels of bioactive peptides. Compared to traditional SDS-PAGE or HPLC methods that require cumbersome pretreatment such as cell disruption, extraction, and purification, this screening system can directly detect in the viable bacterial state, achieving non-destructive, rapid, and real-time monitoring at the single-cell level.

[0020] The screening system provided by this invention can be directly coupled with mutagenesis techniques such as ARTP to rapidly identify strains that produce high levels of antioxidant ginseng peptide derivatives from mutant libraries. Using this system, this invention successfully screened a mutant engineered strain with a target fusion protein cell fluorescence intensity 1.7 times higher than the starting strain. This strain, while maintaining genetic stability, achieved efficient heterologous synthesis of antioxidant ginseng peptide derivatives. Measurements showed that its yield was 77.7% higher than the starting strain, laying a foundation for subsequent large-scale fermentation production.

[0021] Furthermore, those skilled in the art can extend the application of this screening system to high-throughput screening of other recombinant peptide expression strains by replacing the target peptide coding sequence, which has broad application prospects in the biomanufacturing of functional foods, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical intermediates.

Bacillus subtilis WB600 competent cells (strain information can be found in publication number: CN118956715A) were screened on LB plates containing a final concentration of 50 μg / mL kanamycin. The correct positive clones were identified by colony PCR, thus successfully constructing a high-throughput screening system for antioxidant ginseng peptide derivative fusion proteins.

[0062] (2) Fluorescence detection Select the correctly identified positive clones from (1), streak them on LB plates to isolate single colonies, and inoculate them into LB liquid medium for overnight culture. Take 1 mL of bacterial cells, centrifuge at 12000 rpm for 1 min, wash three times with 1 mL of sterile PBS, and take 10 μL for observation under a microscope. No green fluorescence was observed in the control group, while the experimental group showed green fluorescence under 488 nm excitation. Figure 4 As shown, this indicates that the recombinant plasmid containing the antioxidant ginseng peptide derivative fusion protein was successfully expressed in Bacillus subtilis.

[0063] Example 3: Shake-flask fermentation of antioxidant ginseng peptide derivative fusion protein (1) Preparation of seed fungal suspension The positive clones obtained in Example 2 were streaked onto LB solid medium containing a final concentration of 50 μg / mL kanamycin and incubated overnight at 37°C with the medium inverted.

[0065] (3) Growth curve determination Inoculate at a volume ratio of 2% into TB medium containing a final concentration of 50 μg / mL kanamycin, and incubate at 37°C for 72 h. For the first 12 h, take 1 mL of bacterial cells every 4 h to determine bacterial density; after 12 h, take 1 mL of bacterial cells every 12 h to determine bacterial density. The growth curve is shown below. Figure 6 As shown.

[0066] Example 4: Feasibility Verification of a High-Throughput Screening System for Antioxidant Ginseng Peptide Derivative Fusion Proteins (1) Treatment of recombinant Bacillus subtilis using ambient pressure room temperature plasma (ARTP) mutagenesis instrument Single colonies of recombinant Bacillus subtilis isolated by streaking on LB plates in Example 3 were inoculated into LB liquid medium and cultured overnight. Then, at a volume ratio of 1%, the colonies were inoculated into TB medium containing a final concentration of 50 μg / mL kanamycin and cultured at 37°C and 220 rpm for 12 h. One mL of the bacterial cells was then centrifuged at 4°C and 5000 rpm for 6 min, and subsequently resuspended in sterile PBS containing 5% glycerol to achieve a bacterial concentration of 10. 8 CFU / mL.

[0067] In a sterile laminar flow hood, the slides for the ARTP mutagenesis instrument were sterilized using an alcohol lamp. They were then placed in sterile glass petri dishes and cooled. 10 μL of bacterial suspension was pipetted onto the slides and evenly spread. After the ARTP plasma mutagenesis instrument finished UV sterilization, the mutagenesis conditions were set, with a mutagenesis time of 20 s. After mutagenesis, the bacterial cells were shaken to mix thoroughly, and TB medium was added. After several-fold dilution, 150 μL of the bacterial suspension was pipetted onto LB agar plates containing a final concentration of 50 μg / mL kanamycin and incubated overnight at 37°C.

[0068] (2) Feasibility verification of high-throughput screening of strains producing high-yield ginseng peptide derivatives Two hundred single colonies were randomly selected from overnight incubated plates for shake-flask screening and validation. The fluorescence intensity and bacterial density of each strain were measured, and the fluorescence intensity per cell was calculated. The strains with the highest fluorescence intensity per cell showed increased levels of the antioxidant ginseng peptide derivative fusion protein. Therefore, this high-throughput screening method can be used as a reliable method for identifying high-yielding ginseng peptide derivative strains.

[0069] Example 5: Screening engineered bacteria that produce high-yield ginseng peptide derivative fusion proteins using a high-throughput screening system. The starting strain was subjected to ARTP mutagenesis according to the method described in Example 4, and then plated on LB agar plates containing a final concentration of 50 μg / mL kanamycin and incubated overnight at 37°C. 200 single colonies were randomly selected from the overnight incubated plates and screened in 96-well plates using the high-throughput screening method described in step (2). The fluorescence intensity (FL) and bacterial density (OD) of each strain were measured. 600 ), calculate the fluorescence intensity per unit bacterial cell (FL / OD) 600 This characterizes the relative yield of the target fusion protein per unit bacterial cell. The FL / OD ratio was initially screened in 96-well plates. 600 The results showed that the top 10% of strains were re-screened.

[0070] Table 4. Fluorescence intensity measurement results of mutant 169 The results in Table 4 show that, compared with the original strain, the fluorescence intensity of one of the mutants, numbered 169, was significantly increased.

[0071] After three parallel shake-flask screenings, the average fluorescence intensity per cell of mutant 169 was 2.7 times that of the starting strain, indicating that the yield of the target fusion protein was 1.7 times higher than that of the starting strain. Meanwhile, the cell growth density of this mutant was not significantly different from that of the starting strain, suggesting that the increased yield was not due to differences in cell growth.

[0072] Example 6: Fermentation verification of mutant strain 169 with enhanced fluorescence intensity The starting strain and the mutant strain 169 with enhanced fluorescence intensity obtained in Example 5 were inoculated into LB medium and cultured at 37°C and 220 rpm for 12 h. Subsequently, at a volume ratio of 1%, the culture was inoculated into TB medium containing a final concentration of 50 μg / mL kanamycin. After the culture was completed, the bacterial culture was collected, centrifuged at 8000 rpm for 15 min, the supernatant was discarded, and the bacterial cells were obtained. The bacterial cells were resuspended in PBS, and then the bacterial cells were disrupted using a cell disruptor. The supernatant was collected after centrifugation at 8000 rpm for 15 min, which is the supernatant containing the fusion protein containing the antioxidant ginseng peptide derivative.

[0073] The supernatant containing the antioxidant ginseng peptide derivative fusion protein obtained from the starting strain and mutant strain 169 was purified by nickel column affinity chromatography. The equilibration buffer used for nickel column affinity chromatography was 50 mM NaH2PO4, 500 mM NaCl, and 20 mM imidazole, and the elution buffer was 50 mM NaH2PO4, 500 mM NaCl, and 250 mM imidazole.

[0074] Equilibrate with 5 column volumes of equilibration buffer at a flow rate of 3 mL / min until the pH of the eluent matches that of the equilibration buffer. Load the supernatant onto the equilibrated nickel column at a flow rate of 2 mL / min. After loading, wash the column with equilibration buffer to remove unbound contaminating proteins. Then elute at a flow rate of 2 mL / min and collect the eluent (which is the antioxidant ginseng peptide derivative fusion protein).

[0075] The eluents collected after purification of the starting strain and mutant 169 were analyzed according to the instructions of the BCA protein concentration assay kit (Solepro BCA protein concentration assay kit, catalog number: PC0020). The yield of the starting strain was 330.3 mg / mL, and the yield of the 169 mutant was 587.0 mg / mL, representing a 77.7% increase compared to the starting strain.

[0076] The above results show that the screening system and screening method provided by the present invention can successfully obtain mutant strains with high yield of ginseng peptide derivatives, and the mutant strain 169 screened out has a significant yield increase and has good potential for industrial application.
