The invention provides a
genetic engineering strain, a construction method of the
genetic engineering strain and application of the
genetic engineering strain in
biosynthesis of 5-hydroxytryptophan. According to the
engineering bacterium, four key modules required by 5-HTP synthesis are sequentially introduced into a
host genome in a
genome integration mode through a
CRISPR technology, and the four key modules comprise an aroGfbr-ppsA-tktA module for enhancing chorismate precursor supply, a trpEfbr-trpG module for catalyzing o-
aminobenzoic acid generation, a salABCD
gene cluster responsible for hydroxylating o-
aminobenzoic acid into 5-hydroxy o-
aminobenzoic acid, and a salABCD
gene cluster responsible for hydroxylating 5-hydroxy o-aminobenzoic acid into 5-hydroxy o-aminobenzoic acid. And a trpDCBA module for converting the intermediate into the final product 5-HTP. The modules are respectively integrated into a plurality of non-
essential gene regions, so that stable genetic expression is realized, and a complete
metabolic pathway can be operated without plasmids or inducers. The strain can continuously accumulate 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) under a glucose
fermentation condition, and has the advantages of simplicity and convenience in construction, high hereditary stability, low production cost, suitability for industrial-scale
fermentation and the like.
