Description

Schizochytrium limacinum genetic engineering strain for over-expressing squalene synthetase gene and construction method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of genetic engineering, and particularly relates to a schizochytrium genetic engineering strain and a construction method and application thereof.
Background
Squalene is a lipid unsaponifiable substance composed of 6 isoprene units, and is widely used in the fields of foods, medical treatment, beauty treatment and the like because it has various effects of protecting against viruses, delaying aging, combating tumors and the like. The main source of squalene in the market at present is shark liver oil, and the content of vegetable oil is also rich. With the increasing market demand of squalene day by day, the natural resource limitation, the complex reaction of chemical synthesis method and the extremely low yield can not meet the demand of squalene, so the mode of producing squalene by using microbial resources has become the development trend in the future. The method draws great attention by virtue of the advantages of short period, simple operation, large production potential and the like. Thraustochytrids, microalgae, yeasts and yeast-like yeasts are the focus of recent research. Reports show that the yield of 18W-13a squalene of thraustochytrid bacteria screened from seawater can reach 1.29 +/-0.13 g/L; the optimized saccharomyces cerevisiae squalene yield reaches 11.00g/L, and is the highest yield of the known genetic engineering strains at present.
Genetic engineering is an important way for modifying strains, and improving the yield of squalene by means of genetic engineering is the center of gravity of current research. Reports show that the squalene yield reaches 52.1mg/L by introducing genes related to the mevalonic acid pathway of fungi into escherichia coli for expression through gene modification, and the major breakthrough of producing squalene by escherichia coli genetic engineering strains is realized; in addition, the overexpression of the gene of the acyltransferase in the saccharomyces cerevisiae improves the oil content and provides more storage space for squalene.
Schizochytrium belongs to the genus Thraustochytrium, a marine fungus, and is well known for its ability to produce unsaturated fatty acids in high yields. The schizochytrium limacinum has the advantages of high growth speed, short fermentation period and mechanical stirring resistance, and is a food safety bacterium. Squalene is an intermediate product in the synthesis of sterol compounds in the schizochytrium mevalonate pathway, and two farnesyl pyrophosphate heads are condensed and reduced by NADPH to squalene, a hydrocarbon containing 30 carbons, under the catalysis of farnesyl transferase or squalene synthase. The oil content of the schizochytrium limacinum accounts for more than 50% of the dry weight of the cells, and a good storage place is provided for squalene. Until now, no method for producing squalene by modifying schizochytrium through genetic engineering technology exists.
