Technical Field

[0004] The present invention relates to the field of microbial engineering, and in particular to yeast engineering bacteria producing mogroside, simenoside I and / or mogroside V and applications thereof. Background Art

[0005] Monk fruit is a plant of the Cucurbitaceae family, and its fruit has been used as a traditional herbal medicine and contains various bioactive components.

[0006] Mogrol and mogroside are the most commonly used active ingredients in Momordica grosvenori.

[0007] Among them, mogroside and its derivative mogroside are a type of cucurbitane-type triterpene glycoside, among which mogroside is a cucurbitane-type triterpene glycoside, and its aglycone is mogroside. The structure of mogroside is shown in the figure below:

[0008] In recent years, the pharmacological effects of mogrol have attracted widespread attention. Several studies have shown that mogrol can inhibit the ERK1 / 2 and STAT3 signaling pathways, while reducing CREB activity and activating AMPK. It has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and hypoglycemic potential, and has shown significant improvements in spatial cognition impairment and learning and memory impairment caused by Alzheimer's disease and ischemic dementia. In vitro cell experiments have shown that mogrol induces G0 / G1 cell cycle arrest in a dose-dependent manner and exhibits potent anti-tumor cell proliferation activity.

[0009] Mogroside is a general term for a variety of mogrosides isolated and identified from Momordica grosvenori. The basic structure is as follows:

[0010] Mogrosides share the same mogroside triterpene core, and the aglycone mogroside is glycosylated with different numbers of glucose moieties to form a variety of mogroside compounds. Different numbers of glucose moieties and the way they are linked produce different mogrosides, such as mogroside IIE, mogroside V, mogroside IV, and simonoside I. These mogrosides vary greatly in taste, for example, mogroside IIE is the main saponin component of immature Momordica grosvenori and tastes extremely bitter. As the Momordica grosvenori grows, it is successively transformed into mogroside II1, mogroside IV, and finally becomes the pentaglycosylated mogroside V with an extremely sweet taste.

[0011] Mogroside V is about 300-400 times sweeter than sucrose. It not only has antitussive, expectorant, and antioxidant effects, but can also be used as a sugar substitute. Compared to artificial saccharin, it is more natural, healthier, and has no side effects. It is a good additive for diabetics and obese people. The structure of Mogroside V is shown below:

[0012] Traditionally, mogroside and mogroside are obtained through water extraction from the fruit of the monk fruit, followed by concentration and separation. Typically, the fruit is chopped or crushed, soaked in water or other solvents, and then filtered, concentrated, separated, and purified through further purification steps to obtain high-purity mogroside and mogroside. This method preserves the natural properties of the product, but the content of mogroside and mogroside in monk fruit is extremely low, typically only around 1%. The cultivation of monk fruit also presents numerous difficulties, making large-scale production difficult and costly. This makes it difficult to achieve mass production through plant extraction, limiting its widespread application. Alternatively, mogroside can be produced through acid / base hydrolysis using mogroside as a raw material. However, obtaining mogroside is also extremely difficult, and the cost can even exceed that of mogroside. Furthermore, the hydrolysis reaction is relatively harsh, resulting in poor stability and difficulty in obtaining a stable final product. In contrast, biosynthesis allows for lower costs and large-scale production of mogroside and mogroside, offering greater controllability and stable products.

[0013] Transcriptomic and metabolomic analysis is an effective strategy for elucidating the biosynthetic pathways of plant natural products. In 2016, Israeli researchers Itkin et al., based on transcriptomic and genomic data from Luo Han Guo (Sheng Guo), achieved a complete delineation of the biosynthetic pathway for mogroside V. In the initial stage of the de novo synthesis of mogrosides from glucose, glucose undergoes glycolysis from pyruvate to acetyl-CoA. Acetyl-CoA then converts this into 2,3-oxidosqualene via the MVA pathway. This is further metabolized to disaccharides of tetrahydroxycucurbitadienol, which is then oxidized to mogroside alcohol. Mogroside alcohol undergoes branched glycosylation to produce sweet-tasting mogrosides IV and V. Figure 1 shows a schematic diagram of the biosynthetic pathway for mogroside V, from Sun Zemin's "Progress in Synthetic Biology of Mogroside V." This diagram provides a basic understanding of the biosynthetic pathway for mogroside V. This application also optimizes and improves this synthetic pathway.

[0014] Using glucose as a starting substrate, de novo microbial synthesis of mogroside or mogroside allows for precise control of synthesis steps and conditions, resulting in the desired product with high purity, safety, and environmental friendliness, a feat unattainable through chemical synthesis. However, de novo microbial synthesis requires long metabolic pathways, a complex network of competing pathways, and high demands on the stability and metabolic capacity of the chassis cells. Therefore, the chassis cells need to be modified to produce specific compounds or increase the yield of specific metabolites.

[0015] With the advancement of synthetic biology research and a deeper understanding of the biosynthetic mechanisms of mogroside molecules in Momordica grosvenori, the use of microorganisms to synthesize mogrosides has become a new approach for large-scale production. In the biosynthesis of mogrosides, UDPG (uridine diphosphate glucose) plays a key role, providing glucose molecules to triterpenoids. For example, UDP-glucosyltransferases (UGTs) use UDPG to attach glucose groups at the C3 and C24 positions of the triterpenoid core of mogrosides, forming mogroside V and imparting its sweetness and biological activity. However, insufficient UDPG supply has become a major bottleneck limiting synthetic throughput. In synthetic biology, the high consumption rate of UDPG and the limited natural supply pathways hinder the efficient glucosylation process, significantly affecting the synthesis efficiency and yield of mogrosides. The main drawbacks of existing mogroside biosynthesis technologies include: 1) insufficient UDPG donor supply, resulting in low synthesis efficiency and limiting synthetic throughput; and 2) room for improvement in the efficiency and specificity of UGT enzymes. Summary of the Invention

[0016] In view of this, the present invention provides an engineered yeast strain for producing mogroside, simonoside I, and / or mogroside V. By optimizing and modifying the chassis cells, the metabolic pathways of the microorganisms are altered or the expression levels of related genes are regulated, thereby increasing the synthesis efficiency and yield of the target products and improving production efficiency. In addition, the present invention also enhances the utilization rate of UDPG and the overall efficiency of biosynthesis by strengthening the microorganism's UDPG pathway and optimizing UGT enzyme activity, thereby achieving efficient and sustainable production of mogrosides.

[0212] The present invention discloses an engineered yeast strain producing mogroside, simenoside I, mogroside IIIX, mogroside IVA, and / or mogroside V, and its applications. Those skilled in the art may refer to the contents herein and appropriately modify the process parameters to achieve the desired results. It should be noted that all similar substitutions and modifications obvious to those skilled in the art are considered encompassed by the present invention. The methods and applications of the present invention have been described through preferred embodiments, and relevant personnel will readily be able to modify, alter, and combine the methods and applications described herein without departing from the content, spirit, and scope of the present invention to implement and apply the technology of the present invention.

[0213] The metabolic pathway of de novo synthesis is long, with many steps and a complex metabolic network. The metabolic capacity of yeast itself can only produce trace amounts of non-specific compounds, which requires precise regulation and optimization to change the metabolic pathway of the microorganism or regulate the expression level of related genes, thereby increasing the synthesis efficiency and yield of the target product and improving production efficiency.

[0214] The main technical solution of the present invention is: chassis modification, which increases the supply of precursors, weakens competitive pathways, and screens for high gene expression by strengthening chassis cells, thereby achieving the purpose of increasing the yield of target products.

[0215] More specifically, in Module 1, the supply of precursors is increased by strengthening the MVA and acetyl-CoA pathways, thereby increasing the yield of the target product. Second, in Module 2, the metabolism of biosynthetic intermediates is reduced by weakening the expression of competing pathways, thereby increasing the yield of the target product. Third, in Module 2, the activity of oxidoreductases (CPRs) is enhanced, thereby increasing the efficient expression of cytochrome P450 (CYP450), thereby increasing the yield of the target product.

[0216] Regarding strategies to strengthen the MVA pathway and acetyl-CoA pathway to increase the supply of precursors, the specific technical means are:

[0217] Overexpression of tHMG1 and IDI1 (308a), key rate-limiting genes for terpenoid biosynthesis in the MVA pathway;

[0218] Overexpression of the mutant gene upc2-1(416d) of the global transcription factor UPC2 directly or indirectly upregulates the transcription efficiency of MVA pathway genes;

[0219] Overexpression of acetaldehyde dehydrogenase ALD6 (1622b), pyruvate decarboxylase PDC1 (1021b), acetyl-CoA synthetase ACS1 (911b), knockout of isocitrate dehydrogenase IDH1, overexpression of citrate lyase ACL from Rhodosporidium toruloides, and overexpression of alcohol dehydrogenase ADH2 (208a) from basidiomyces oryzae to increase the supply of acetyl-CoA;

[0220] To reduce the expression of competing pathways, the specific technical means are:

[0221] Down-regulate the expression of the endogenous gene ERG7 and reduce the consumption of 2,3-epoxysqualene;

[0222] Knocking out the gene encoding the GAL80 inhibitory protein of GAL4 frees GAL gene expression from the more costly galactose control and instead responds to the glucose concentration in the culture medium;

[0223] Overexpression of squalene epoxidase SQE (GAL80) from Momordica grosvenori; overexpression of cytochrome b5 (RsCyb5,511b) from Rubus bistorta; overexpression of yeast phospholipid biosynthesis regulatory gene INO2 (ER size regulator, replacement promoter) to expand the space of the endoplasmic reticulum.

[0224] To improve the catalytic efficiency of cytochrome P450 (CYP450), the specific technical means are:

[0225] Screen and replace CPR genes, using artificially synthesized CPR1, CPR2, and CPR3.

[0226] Increase the copy number of the P450 enzyme CYP87D18 to 2-4 copies.

[0227] By replacing the relatively weak constitutive promoter, the expression intensity of CPR is reduced.

[0228] In the yeast engineering bacteria for producing mogroside, simenoside I and / or mogroside V and applications thereof provided by the present invention, the raw materials and reagents used can all be purchased from the market.

[0264] Example 1 Construction of MOG001 strain

[0265] Overexpression of tHMG1 and IDI1

[0266] 1) The target gene was integrated into the Saccharomyces cerevisiae genome using the GTR-CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing system. A plasmid carrying the gene expressing the Cas9 protein and a sgRNA sequence targeting the corresponding site was constructed for targeted gene integration. First, the gRNA sequence for the 308a integration site was predicted using the Zhang Lab's CRISPOR (http: / / crispor.tefor.net / ) online website, and a gRNA sequence with high efficiency and no off-target effects was selected. Primers containing the gRNA sequence were designed (see Table 1). PCR amplification was performed using the plasmid pScURA as a template to obtain a gene fragment containing the corresponding gRNA and the selection marker Ura. The DNA fragment was then ligated with the pCas9 plasmid using the Golden Gate Assembly kit to generate the knockout plasmid pCas9-308a. Donor construction primers were designed (see Table 1 ). The DonorDNA gene fragment contained 50 bp of upstream and downstream homology arms, the promoter, and the inserted gene sequence. DonorDNA was obtained by OE-PCR: up-GAL1p-tHMG1-GAL10p-IDI1-down;

[0267] 2) The up-GAL1p-tHMG1-GAL10p-IDI1-down and pCas9-308a plasmids were co-transformed into S. cerevisiae CEN.PK2-1C competent cells by electroporation. The PGAL-target gene expression cassette was integrated using the homologous recombination ability of S. cerevisiae. The cells were plated on SC-URA plates and incubated at 30°C for 2-3 days. Positive clones were screened by colony PCR and verified by sequencing. Single clones confirmed by PCR were re-streaked onto SC plates containing 5-FOA (5-fluoroorotic acid) and incubated at 30°C to eliminate the Cas9 plasmid. Single clones that grew on SC plates (containing 5-FOA) were streaked onto YPD and SC-URA plates and incubated at 30°C. Those that grew on YPD but not SC-URA were identified as gene-edited strains. Single clones were selected and plated onto YPD liquid medium, incubated at 30°C for 24 hours, and then stored in 20% glycerol to obtain the base strain MOG001. The strain information is shown in Table 2.

[0268] Example 2 Construction of interM-01 and interM-02 strains

[0269] 1. The same method as steps 1)-2) of "1. Overexpression of tHMG1 and IDI1 in Example 1" was used. The primers involved are listed in Table 9.

[0270] The difference is that: step 2) is to co-transform the knockout plasmid pCas9-1309a and donor DNA: up-GAL1p-SgCDS-down into MOG001 chassis cells to obtain strain interM-01, and preserve the strain for future use (20% glycerol).

[0271] 2. The same method as steps 1)-2) of "Overexpression of tHMG1 and IDI1 in Example 1" was used. The primers involved are listed in Table 9. The difference is that in step 2), the knockout plasmid pCas9-106a and the donor DNA: up-GAL10p-SgEPH3-down were co-transformed into interM-01 to obtain strain interM-02, which was stored for future use (20% glycerol).

[0272] Example 3 Screening and Verification of CPR Genes

[0273] 1. Strain Construction

[0274] (1). Full gene synthesis of CYP87D18, CPR1, CPR2, CPR3, CaCPR1, and SgCPR1 was performed, and recombinant expression plasmids were constructed using pESC-HIS as a vector.

[0275] Primers were designed (Table 3). First, they were used to amplify the CYP87D18 fragment carrying the homology arms and the linearized pESC-HIS vector fragment. Following the kit instructions, the DNA fragment and the linearized vector fragment were subjected to homologous recombination at 50°C for 1 hour. The cells were then transformed into E. coli DH5α competent cells, plated with Amp-resistant plates, and incubated overnight at 37°C. Positive colonies were screened by colony PCR. Positive colonies were selected and plated in 5 mL of LB medium containing Amp for verification by sequencing. The sequenced plasmid pESC-HIS-CYP87D18 (MCS1) was then isolated and used for future use.

[0276] (2) Use the corresponding primers to amplify the CPR1 fragment carrying the homology arms and the linearized pESC-HIS-CYP87D18 (MCS1) vector fragment. The recombination reaction is the same as "(1)". Screen the positive clones by colony PCR, pick the positive clones and place them in 5 mL of LB medium containing Amp, verify by sequencing, and extract the plasmid pESC-HIS-CYP87D18-CPR1 with the correct sequencing.

[0277] The construction process of CPR2 was the same as that of “(2)”, and the plasmid pESC-HIS-CYP87D18-CPR2 with correct sequencing was extracted.

[0278] The construction process of CPR3 was the same as that of “(2)”, and the plasmid pESC-HIS-CYP87D18-CPR3 with correct sequencing was extracted.

[0279] The construction process of CaCPR1 was the same as that of “(2)”, and the plasmid pESC-HIS-CYP87D18-CaCPR1 with correct sequencing was extracted.

[0280] The construction process of SgCPR1 was the same as that of “(2)”, and the plasmid pESC-HIS-CYP87D18-SgCPR1 with correct sequencing was extracted.

[0281] (3) Use electroporation to transform the recombinant expression plasmid pESC-HIS-CYP87D18-CPR1 into Saccharomyces cerevisiae CEN.PK2-1C competent cells, spread on SC-HIS plates, and culture at 30°C for 2-3 days. Screen positive clones by colony PCR, inoculate them into 10 mL of SC-HIS liquid medium, and culture at 30°C, 230 rpm for 24 hours. Store strain MRO001.

[0282] In the same way, pESC-HIS-CYP87D18-CPR2 was transformed into Saccharomyces cerevisiae CEN.PK2-1C to obtain strain MRO002;

[0283] pESC-HIS-CYP87D18-CPR3 was transformed into S. cerevisiae CEN.PK2-1C to obtain strain MRO003;

[0284] pESC-HIS-CYP87D18-CaCPR1 was transformed into S. cerevisiae CEN.PK2-1C to obtain strain MRO004;

[0285] pESC-HIS-CYP87D18-SgCPR1 was transformed into Saccharomyces cerevisiae CEN.PK2-1C to obtain strain MRO005.

[0286] The strain information is shown in Table 4.

[0287] 2. Verification experiment:

[0288] Inoculate 1 mL of each of the above bacterial cultures into 50 mL of fresh SC-HIS liquid medium and incubate at 30°C and 230 rpm until growth reaches the plateau phase. Centrifuge at 3,000 rpm for 5 minutes at room temperature, discard the supernatant, and collect the Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells. Resuspend and wash the cells in approximately 50 mL of sterile water, centrifuge at 3,000 rpm for 5 minutes at room temperature, and collect the cells. Repeat this step three times. Resuspend the cells in approximately 2 mL of YPGal liquid medium containing 2% galactose and add them to 100 mL of YPGal liquid medium containing 2% galactose. Induce the cells at 28°C and 230 rpm for 24 hours. After induction, centrifuge the culture at 3,000 rpm and 4°C for 5 minutes to collect the cells. Resuspend the cells in Tris-HCl buffer (50 mM, pH 8.0) and wash them three times. Then, resuspend each gram of cells in 3 mL of buffer. Add glass beads and shake to disrupt the yeast cells. After stabilization, collect the cell lysate.

[0289] P450 catalytic activity assay: A 100 μL reaction system containing 50 mM Tris-HCl buffer (50 mM, pH 8.0), 1 mM 2,4,25-dihydroxycucurbitadienol, 5 mM NADPH, and an appropriate amount of cell disruption buffer was incubated at 30°C and 230 rpm for 2 h. The reaction was quenched by adding an equal volume of methanol and centrifuged at 12,000 rpm for 10 min. The supernatant was filtered through a 0.22 μm filter and analyzed by HPLC. Strain information and HPLC analysis results are shown in Table 10.

[0290] Table 10. CYP87D18 conversion rate

[0291] From the results in Table 10, it can be seen that the conversion rates of strains MRO001-003 using CPR1-3 are higher than those of strains CaCPR1 and SgCPR1, among which strain MRO002 using CPR2 has the best catalytic efficiency.

[0294] The specific process is as follows:

[0295] (1) Using pIYC04-HIS as a vector, construct the recombinant expression plasmid pIYC04-HIS-P PGK1-CYP87D18. The primers involved are listed in Table 3. The primers were used to amplify the CYP87D18 fragment carrying the homology arms and the linearized pIYC04-HIS vector fragment. According to the kit instructions, the DNA fragment and the linearized vector fragment were homologously recombined, reacted at 50°C for 1 hour, transformed into E. coli DH5α competent cells, and coated with Amp-resistant plates and cultured at 37°C overnight. Positive clones were screened by colony PCR. Positive clones were picked and plated in 5 mL of LB medium containing Amp for sequencing verification. The recombinant plasmid pIYC04-HIS-P was extracted and sequenced correctly. PGK1 -CYP87D18 spare.

[0296] (2) Use the corresponding primers to amplify the CPR1 fragment carrying the homology arms and the linearized pIYC04-HIS-P PGK1 -CYP87D18 vector fragment.

[0298] The construction process of CPR3 was the same as that of (2), and the plasmid pIYC04-HIS-P PGK1 -CYP87D18-P TEF1 -CPR3.

[0299] (3) Using electroporation, the recombinant expression plasmid pIYC04-HIS-P PGK1 -CYP87D18-P TEF1 -CPR1 was transformed into interM-02 competent cells, plated on SC-HIS plates, and cultured at 30°C for 2-3 days. Positive colonies were screened by colony PCR and selected and inoculated into 10 mL of SC-HIS liquid medium. Incubate at 30°C, 230 rpm for 24 hours to preserve strain M24.

[0366] Example 10 Knockout of G1P Metabolizing Enzyme Gene GAL7

[0367] (1) The GTR-CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing system was used to integrate the target gene into the Saccharomyces cerevisiae genome, and a plasmid carrying a gene expressing Cas9 protein and a sgRNA sequence targeting the corresponding site was constructed for targeted gene integration.

[0368] First, the gRNA sequence for the GAL7 integration site was predicted using the website CRISPOR (http: / / crispor.tefor.net / ), and a gRNA sequence with high efficiency and no off-target effects was selected. Primers containing the gRNA sequence were designed (see Table 18), and PCR amplification was performed using the plasmid pScURA as a template to obtain a gene fragment containing the corresponding gRNA and the screening marker Ura. The DNA fragment was then ligated to the pCas9 plasmid using the Golden Gate Assembly kit to obtain the knockout plasmid pCas9-GAL7. Donor construction primers were designed (see Table 18). The Donor DNA gene fragment contained 50bp of gene sequences for the upstream and downstream homology arms. Donor DNA was obtained by OE-PCR: up-OverLap(GAL7)-down.

[0369] (2) Donor DNA:up-OverLap(GAL7)-down and pCas9-GAL7 plasmid were co-transformed into MGV27 competent cells by electroporation, and the target gene GAL7 was knocked out by utilizing the homologous recombination ability of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The cells were coated on SC-URA plates and cultured at 30°C for 2-3 days.

[0370] Positive clones were screened by colony PCR and verified by sequencing. Single clones verified by PCR were re-streaked onto SC plates containing 5-FOA (5-fluoroorotic acid) and incubated at 30°C to eliminate the Cas9 plasmid. Single clones growing on SC plates (containing 5-FOA) were streaked onto YPD and SC-URA plates and incubated at 30°C. Those that grew on YPD but not SC-URA were gene-edited strains. Single clones were selected and plated onto YPD liquid medium. After incubation at 30°C for 24 hours, the strain was preserved (20% glycerol) to obtain strain MUDP001.
