Abstract

The invention provides an L-threonine producing genetic engineering bacterium and a construction method and application thereof. The engineering bacteria introduce mutation into the genome of the bacteria with threonine production capacity by using genetic engineering means, so that the encoded C4-dicarboxylate transport protein comprises an A12G or F14L mutation site, or both mutation sites. The shake flask fermentation experiment shows that the Escherichia coli containing the DcuA protein variant can obviously improve the threonine production capacity.

Description

Genetically engineered bacterium for producing L-threonine as well as construction method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of biology, in particular to a gene engineering bacterium for producing L-threonine and a construction method and application thereof.
Background
L-threonine is one of 8 amino acids essential for human and animal growth, and is widely used in feed, food additives, preparation of auxiliary materials for medicines, and the like. Currently, L-threonine is mainly produced by fermentation of microorganisms, and various bacteria are available for L-threonine production, such as mutant strains induced by wild-type strains of Escherichia coli, corynebacterium, serratia, and the like, as production strains. Specific examples include amino acid analogue-resistant mutants or various auxotrophs such as methionine, lysine, isoleucine and the like (Japanese patent application laid-open No. 224684/83; korean patent application laid-open No. 8022/87). However, in the conventional mutation breeding, the strain grows slowly and generates more byproducts due to random mutation, so that a high-yield strain is not easy to obtain.
With the increasing demand of global threonine, the construction and modification of high-yield threonine strains are particularly important. In the Chinese patent CN03811059.8 applied by Korea CJ corporation in 2003, the expression of thrABC, a key gene for threonine synthesis, was enhanced by deleting 39bp from-56 to-18 of the threonine operon sequence using E.coli, and the threonine productivity was improved by 22%. Kwang Ho Lee (Kwang Ho Lee et al, systems metabolism engineering for L-threonine production, mol Syst biol.2007; 3. In the Chinese patent ZL201611250306.8 applied by the plum blossom group in 2020, MHZ-0215-2 strain is obtained by strengthening pntAB gene and introducing pyc gene heterologously, and the strain has threonine yield of 12.4g/L, transformation rate of about 16.2% and no plasmid burden. In the Chinese patent application CN112481179A, the yield of the biotin-enhanced strain MHZ-0217-4 constructed by starting from MHZ-0215-2 strain is 20.2g/L, the conversion rate is 23.8 percent, and no plasmid burden is caused.
DcuA is a C4-dicarboxylate transporter, and Escherichia coli dcuA gene is constitutively expressed under both aerobic and anaerobic conditions. DcuA is the major transporter for uptake of L-aspartic acid by E.coli under aerobic conditions, and it takes up L-aspartic acid as a nitrogen source under aerobic conditions. DcuA mediates the export of succinate while absorbing fumarate, malate or aspartate. Furthermore, the DcuA transporter is active under anaerobic conditions and may play a role in C4-dicarboxylate transport during the conversion of cells from microaerophilic to anaerobic conditions. DcuA is a transmembrane protein with 10 transmembrane helices with an 80 residue central cytoplasmic loop between helices 5 and 6. The N and C termini are located in the periplasm. The topology of the DcuA protein has been studied in the art. In which transmembrane helix 2 contains a highly conserved and repetitive region GGIGL, but its function is unknown. No study report is available on the influence of amino acid changes in the conserved region on the yield of threonine in Escherichia coli. In the threonine synthesis pathway of Escherichia coli, aspartic acid is a direct precursor for threonine synthesis; while malic acid produces oxaloacetate, a precursor for the synthesis of aspartic acid. Considering that DcuA protein can absorb aspartic acid and malic acid, dcuA protein variants may have an effect on the synthesis of E.coli threonine. Similarly, based on the threonine synthesis pathway of E.coli, it was deduced that DcuA protein variants also had an effect on the production of downstream amino acids of threonine, such as isoleucine and glycine.
