This invention provides an
expression cassette, an
expression vector, a
genetically engineered strain, and their application in the preparation of
malonic acid. The
expression cassette includes
expression cassette 1, expression cassette 2, and expression cassette 3.
Expression cassette 1 includes the
gene for the mitochondrial 37S
ribosomal protein mS47; expression cassette 2 includes the ACC1
gene, which incorporates a mitochondrial localization
signal encoding
gene at its 5' end; and expression cassette 3 includes the upstream homologous arm of an endogenous ACC1 gene, which incorporates a weak
promoter at its 5' end. This invention, through the expression cassette, can promote an increase in the levels of mS47 and ACC1 in mitochondria, thereby promoting the synthesis pathway of acetyl-CoA-malonyl-CoA-
malonic acid (ACEA), while simultaneously reducing the level of endogenous ACC1 in the
cytoplasm, avoiding competitive effects on the mitochondrial ACEA synthesis pathway, and ultimately effectively increasing
malonic acid production.
