The invention discloses a strain capable of efficiently producing 3-hydroxy-2-
picolinic acid, a construction method and application, and relates to the technical field of
gene engineering. According to the 3-hydroxy-2-
picolinic acid heterologous expression strain and the application thereof, homologous L-
lysine-2-aminotransferase PyrB, bi-component flavin-dependent
monooxygenase PyrC / PyrK and flavin
adenine nucleotide-dependent
dehydrogenase PyrD are cloned from
streptomyces picoliniamycin NRRL B-2517 by virtue of a
genetic engineering technology, the homologous L-
lysine-2-aminotransferase PyrB, the bi-component flavin-dependent
monooxygenase PyrC / PyrK and the flavin
adenine nucleotide-dependent
dehydrogenase PyrD are combined with a strong
promoter, and an RBS sequence is optimized, so that the 3-hydroxy-2-
picolinic acid heterologous expression strain is successfully constructed; a core foundation is laid for efficient, green and low-cost microbial
fermentation production of the product. According to the microbial
fermentation method, self production of 3-hydroxy-2-picolinic acid by cells is achieved through
metabolic pathway reconstruction, the whole reaction process is a water-
phase reaction and can be carried out at normal temperature and normal pressure, toxic reagents and additional coenzymes do not need to be used, the product can be secreted out of the cells, the process is simple and convenient, and the method is a
route with great large-scale production potential.
