Description

Genetic engineering bacterium for producing D-1,2, 4-butanetriol and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of bioengineering, and particularly relates to a genetic engineering bacterium for producing D-1,2, 4-butanetriol and application thereof.
Background
D-1,2, 4-butanetriol (BT for short) is a four-carbon polyol with properties similar to those of glycerol, and is widely applied to the fields of medicines, pesticides, cosmetics, papermaking, high polymer materials, tobacco, military industry and the like. BT and its related derivatives are important substrates in the synthesis of many natural products, and are also synthetic precursors for many chiral compounds: in military, because the BT nitro compound has low impact sensitivity, good thermal stability, low toxicity and good hygroscopicity, and is mixed with other energetic plasticizers for use, the low-temperature mechanical property of the fire-fighting agent taking the nitrocellulose as the base can be obviously improved. Therefore, BT is often used as a synthetic precursor of 1,2, 4-butanetriol trinitrate (BTTN), which can replace nitroglycerin as a propellant and an energetic plasticizer, and has better physicochemical properties. In the aspect of medicine, BT can be used as a cationic liposome and a synthetic precursor of various medicines, and BT can also be used for preparing a cholesterol-lowering medicine Movinolin, an anticancer medicine compatin, a dermatological medicine hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (12-HETE) and an AIDS medicine 3-hydroxy-tetrahydrofuran. In addition, BT can be used as cigarette additive for eliminating the poison of nitro compound to human body and reducing the harm of tar component, as cross-linking agent for high-molecular material to increase its strength and hardness, and as anti-drying agent for high-grade ink, surface treating agent for high-grade clothes, ceramic processing aid, special-purpose package, storage and transportation, etc. BT is capable of inhibiting microorganisms and is an integral part of antimicrobial agents, such as preservatives.
In 2003, Niu et al first proposed a biosynthesis method of BT. By using in Escherichia coli (Escherichia coli) In the method, a heterogenous metabolic pathway is constructed, and D-xylose or L-arabinose is taken as a substrate and is catalyzed by four steps of enzymes. The whole process uses pseudomonas fragiPseudomonas fragi And Escherichia coliEscherichia coli Two microorganisms act as catalysts. Later, researchers have included four-step enzymes of the BT transformation pathwayE. coli In the expression ofE. coli The biotransformation of the whole BT can be completed, and the transformation process is greatly simplified. However, it has been reported that recombination is usedE. coli The catalytic efficiency for producing BT is low, so that the yield of BT cannot meet the requirement of industrial production. If the conversion efficiency of BT is further improved, the synthesis path of BT must be systematically optimized, the catalytic rate-limiting step is found, and the expression quantity of enzyme catalyzing each step is accurately adjusted to realize the maximum conversion flux.
BT is a polyhydric alcohol with important application prospect, but as a non-natural compound, the biotransformation pathway still faces the problem of low pathway efficiency, so that BT is very important for optimizing the synthesis pathway of BT.

Example 3 Effect of IPTG concentration on BT production by fermentation of genetically engineered bacterium BL21-09
IPTG is isopropylthio-beta-D-galactose, is a very effective inducer of lactose operon, and can be combined with a repressor to promote the expression of genes. IPTG is used as an inducer and has the function of combining with a repressor and playing a role of derepression. Thus, the theoretically optimal concentration is obtained when the amount of IPTG added is sufficient to block all repressor sites. However, if the concentration of IPTG is too high, IPTG will act as a toxic substance and affect the propagation and growth of cells. According to the invention, BL21-09 is taken as an experimental strain, the influence of IPTG with different concentrations on BT synthesis is examined, the set concentration range is 0.1-1.25 mmol/L, and the result is shown in figure 3. When the inducer concentration is below 1mmol/L, BT yield increases with increasing concentration of IPTG. When the concentration reaches 1mmol/L, the yield of BT is highest, and when the concentration exceeds 1mmol/L and reaches 1.25mmol/L, the yield of products is reduced, which indicates that the inducer has some inhibiting effect on the strain.
