Description

Mutant of transcriptional regulatory factor LysG and application thereof
Technical Field
The disclosure belongs to the field of genetic engineering and molecular biology, and particularly relates to a mutant of a transcription regulatory factor LysG, a polynucleotide for encoding the mutant, a nucleic acid construct, a recombinant expression vector, a recombinant host cell, a biosensor, application, a method for regulating expression of a target gene, a method for producing basic amino acid, a basic amino acid high-yield strain and a screening method for synthesizing a related protein or a protein encoding gene by the basic amino acid.
Background
The LysR family of transcription regulators (LysR-type transcription regulators, LLTRs) are widely distributed in various species of microorganisms, and the regulated genes have various functions, and are involved in anabolism, quorum sensing, virulence, and the like [1] . Along with biological informationWith the development of science and protein structure, more and more LysR type transcription regulators are discovered. To date, the LysR family of transcriptional regulators has become the largest family of transcriptional factors in prokaryotes.
LysG identified in Corynebacterium glutamicum belongs to a typical LysR family transcription regulatory factor, a Helix-turn-Helix motif (HTH) combined with DNA exists at the N end, a region (EBD) combined with an Effector exists at the C end, and the middle part is connected with the HTH through flexible Linker Helix [2] . The transcription regulation factor LysG can respond to three intracellular basic amino acids (lysine, arginine and histidine), and can regulate and control the lysE promoter to further activate the expression of the downstream transport protein LysE so as to maintain the balance of the intracellular basic amino acids [3]
Due to the sensing characteristics of the transcription regulatory factor, the current biosensors based on the transcription regulatory factor are widely used for detecting the concentration of intracellular small molecule metabolites and high-throughput screening of high-yield strains of the small molecule metabolites, such as high-throughput screening of high-yield strains of amino acids and key enzymes of the synthesis pathway thereof [3 -5]. However, biosensors based on natural transcription regulators often have low response intensity to small molecules, and are difficult to apply to high-throughput screening of high-producing strains and key enzymes of synthetic pathways. Therefore, how to modify the natural transcription regulatory factor and optimize the response strength of the biosensor is an important problem to be solved urgently.
The transcription regulation factor LysG can regulate the expression of a downstream target gene-amino acid transporter through a lysE promoter [6] The transcription regulation and control effect generated by the response of the basic amino acid has important significance for improving the regulation and control performance of the response element. However, the wild type LysG has low response strength to three basic amino acids, has limited transcriptional activation effect on downstream amino acid transporters and other regulatory proteins, cannot be used for gene expression regulation in a wider range, and cannot be used for constructing a biosensor with high sensitivity.

For example, a polypeptide or polynucleotide sequence that is present in an organism, can be isolated from a source in nature, and is not intentionally modified by man in the laboratory, is naturally occurring. As used in this disclosure, "naturally occurring" and "wild-type" are synonyms.
As used in this disclosure, the term "transcriptional regulator" is a class of proteins that control the transcription of DNA into RNA, the first stage of gene expression. Which regulates the transcription process of a target gene by specifically binding to a DNA sequence of a regulatory region. In some embodiments, the transcription regulatory factor is a transcription regulatory factor LysG belonging to a typical LysR family, which has a Helix-turn-Helix motif (HTH) bound to DNA at the N-terminus and an Effector Binding Domain (EBD) at the C-terminus, and is linked to the middle by a flexible Linker Helix. Illustratively, the DNA sequence of the regulatory region which binds to LysG is a promoter sequence of the gene lysE encoding the basic amino acid transporter LysE, or a promoter sequence whose transcription is regulated by LysG in any other type.
As used in this disclosure, the term "response strength" refers to the level of transcription at which a transcriptional regulator initiates transcription of a target gene upon induction of an amino acid. In some embodiments, the response intensity characterization of the transcription regulatory factor induced by a specific amino acid is realized by connecting a fluorescent reporter gene to the downstream of the transcription regulatory factor and detecting the intensity of a fluorescent signal under the induction action of the specific amino acid.
As used in the present disclosure, the term "LysG-regulated promoter" refers to a promoter that binds to LysG and whose transcriptional activity is regulated by LysG. In some embodiments, the LysG-regulated promoter is not particularly limited as long as its activity is regulated by LysG. Illustratively, the lysG-regulated promoter may be a wild-type lysE promoter, and includes promoters that are engineered to remain under the regulation of LysG, and also includes unknown or unidentified promoters under the regulation of LysG.
The transcription regulatory factor LysG in the present disclosure is not particularly limited as long as it has a corresponding transcription regulatory activity. In some embodiments, the LysG is derived from a microorganism of the genus corynebacterium, and further, the LysG is derived from corynebacterium glutamicum. Illustratively, lysG derived from corynebacterium glutamicum has the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO:1, or an amino acid sequence substantially identical to SEQ ID NO:1, having at least 80%, 81%, 82%, 83%, 84%, 85%, 86%, 87%, 88%, 89%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99% sequence identity (including all ranges and percentages between these values).
As used in this disclosure, the term "mutant" refers to a polynucleotide or polypeptide that comprises an alteration (i.e., a substitution, insertion, and/or deletion) at one or more (e.g., several) positions relative to a "wild-type," or "comparable" polynucleotide or polypeptide, wherein a substitution refers to the replacement of a nucleotide or amino acid that occupies a position with a different nucleotide or amino acid. Deletion refers to the removal of a nucleotide or amino acid that occupies a position. Insertion refers to the addition of nucleotides or amino acids next to and immediately following the nucleotide or amino acid occupying a position.
As used in this disclosure, the term "mutated amino acid" includes "amino acid that is substituted, repeated, deleted, or added with one or more". In the present disclosure, the term "mutation" refers to a change in the amino acid sequence. In a specific embodiment, the term "mutation" refers to "substitution".
The mutant of the transcription regulatory factor LysG in the present disclosure is a mutant obtained by mutating the EBD domain of the transcription regulatory factor LysG, and has improved basic amino acid response strength as compared with the wild-type transcription regulatory factor LysG. Further, a mutant of the transcriptional regulator LysG has a sequence corresponding to SEQ ID NO:1 at one or more positions of 111-270 in the EBD region of the transcriptional regulatory factor LysG, wherein the mutation of one or more amino acids thereof results in the mutant having the transcriptional regulatory activity of the transcriptional regulatory factor LysG and having a significantly increased strength of induced response to basic amino acids (lysine, histidine or arginine). In some embodiments, the mutant has a mutation in a nucleotide sequence corresponding to SEQ ID NO:1, and substituted amino acids at one or more positions 111-270 of the sequence shown in 1.
In the present disclosure, "mutations" may also be comprised in the sequences corresponding to SEQ ID NOs: 1, or an amino acid which does not affect the activity of the transcription regulatory factor at one or more positions of the sequence shown in 1. It is well known that the alteration of a few amino acid residues in certain regions, e.g., non-essential regions, of a polypeptide does not substantially alter the biological activity, e.g., the sequence resulting from appropriate substitutions, additions or deletions of certain amino acids does not affect its activity. Illustratively, a "mutation" of the present disclosure is contained in the corresponding SEQ ID NO:1, and at least one amino acid residue at least one of the C-terminal and N-terminal ends of the polypeptide, and the polypeptide has a transcriptional regulator activity. In some embodiments, a "mutation" of the present disclosure corresponds to a sequence as set forth in SEQ ID NO:1, from the N-terminus or C-terminus, from which 1 to 15 amino acids, preferably 1 to 10, more preferably 1 to 6, amino acids are deleted or added, and has a transcription regulatory factor activity.
In some embodiments, a "mutation" of the present disclosure may be selected from a "conservative mutation". In the present disclosure, the term "conservative mutation" refers to a mutation that can normally maintain the function of a protein. A representative example of a conservative mutation is a conservative substitution.
As used in this disclosure, the term "conservative substitution" refers to the replacement of an amino acid residue with an amino acid residue having a similar side chain. Families of amino acid residues having similar side chains have been defined in the art and include those having basic side chains (e.g., lysine, arginine, and histidine), acidic side chains (e.g., aspartic acid and glutamic acid), uncharged polar side chains (e.g., glycine, asparagine, glutamine, serine, threonine, tyrosine, and cysteine), nonpolar side chains (e.g., alanine, valine, leucine, isoleucine, proline, phenylalanine, methionine, and tryptophan), beta-branches (e.g., threonine, valine, and isoleucine), and aromatic side chains (e.g., tyrosine, phenylalanine, tryptophan, and histidine).
As used in this disclosure, "conservative substitutions" typically exchange one amino acid at one or more positions in a protein. Such substitutions may be conservative. Examples of substitutions regarded as conservative substitutions include substitutions of Ala with Ser or Thr, arg with Gln, his or Lys, substitution of Asn with Glu, gln, lys, his or Asp, substitution of Asp with Asn, glu or Gln, substitution of Cys with Ser or Ala, substitution of Gln with Asn, glu, lys, his, asp or Arg, substitution of Glu with Gly, asn, gln, lys or Asp, substitution of Gly with Pro, substitution of His with Asn, lys, gln, arg or Tyr, substitution of Ile with Leu, met, val or Phe, substitution of Leu with Ile, met, val or Phe, substitution of Lys with Asn, glu, his or Arg, substitution of Met with Ile, leu, val or Phe, substitution of Phe with Trp, tyr, val, ile or Leu, substitution of Ser with Thr or Ala, substitution of Thr with Ser or Ala, substitution of Trp with Phe, tyr, val with Phe, or Phe, and substitution of Met with Phe, met, and Met. Furthermore, conservative mutations include naturally occurring mutations due to individual differences in the origin of the gene, differences in strain, species, and the like.
As used in this disclosure, the term "polynucleotide" refers to a polymer composed of nucleotides. Polynucleotides may be in the form of individual fragments, or may be a component of a larger nucleotide sequence structure, derived from nucleotide sequences that have been isolated at least once in quantity or concentration, and which are capable of being recognized, manipulated, and recovered in sequence, and their component nucleotide sequences, by standard molecular biology methods (e.g., using cloning vectors). When a nucleotide sequence is represented by a DNA sequence (i.e., A, T, G, C), this also includes an RNA sequence (i.e., A, U, G, C) in which "U" replaces "T". In other words, "polynucleotide" refers to a polymer of nucleotides removed from other nucleotides (either individual fragments or whole fragments), or may be a component or constituent of a larger nucleotide structure, such as an expression vector or a polycistronic sequence. Polynucleotides include DNA, RNA, and cDNA sequences.
As used in this disclosure, the terms "sequence identity" and "percent identity" refer to the percentage of nucleotides or amino acids that are identical (i.e., identical) between two or more polynucleotides or polypeptides. Sequence identity between two or more polynucleotides or polypeptides may be determined by: the nucleotide or amino acid sequences of the polynucleotides or polypeptides are aligned and the number of positions in the aligned polynucleotides or polypeptides containing the same nucleotide or amino acid residue is scored and compared to the number of positions in the aligned polynucleotides or polypeptides containing different nucleotide or amino acid residues. The polynucleotides may differ at one position, for example, by containing different nucleotides (i.e., substitutions or mutations) or deleted nucleotides (i.e., nucleotide insertions or nucleotide deletions in one or both polynucleotides). Polypeptides may differ at one position, for example, by containing different amino acids (i.e., substitutions or mutations) or deleting amino acids (i.e., amino acid insertions or amino acid deletions in one or both polypeptides). Sequence identity can be calculated by dividing the number of positions containing the same nucleotide or amino acid residue by the total number of amino acid residues in the polynucleotide or polypeptide. For example, percent identity can be calculated by dividing the number of positions containing the same nucleotide or amino acid residue by the total number of nucleotides or amino acid residues in the polynucleotide or polypeptide and multiplying by 100.
In some embodiments, two or more sequences or subsequences have "sequence identity" or "percent identity" of at least 80%, 81%, 82%, 83%, 84%, 85%, 86%, 87%, 88%, 89%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, or 99% nucleotides when compared and aligned for maximum correspondence as measured using a sequence comparison algorithm or by visual inspection. In certain embodiments, the sequences are substantially identical over the entire length of either or both of the biopolymers (e.g., polynucleotides) being compared.
The term "corresponding to" as used herein has the meaning commonly understood by a person of ordinary skill in the art. Specifically, "corresponding to" means the position of one sequence corresponding to a specified position in the other sequence after alignment of the two sequences by homology or sequence identity. Thus, for example, in the case of "amino acid residue corresponding to position 150 of the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID No. 1", if a 6 XHis tag is added to the terminus of the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID No. 1, position 150 of the resulting mutant corresponding to the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID No. 1 may be position 156.
As used in this disclosure, the term "expression" includes any step involving RNA production and protein production, including but not limited to: transcription, post-transcriptional modification, translation, post-translational modification, and secretion.

In some embodiments, the present disclosure transforms the vectors pTRCmob and pLysWT into ATCC13032 strain to obtain control recombinant host cells 13032 (pTRCmob) and 13032 (pLysWT), respectively. The recombinant host cells are cultured in the presence of a basic amino acid (e.g., lysine), and then the strain library is subjected to fluorescence sorting to obtain target recombinant host cells having higher fluorescence intensity compared with the control recombinant host cells, wherein the target recombinant host cells contain a mutant of the target transcription regulatory factor LysG.
Biosensor and method for measuring the same
The principle of the biosensor is as follows: at a low concentration of a basic amino acid (e.g., lysine) as an inducer, the transcription regulatory factor LysG cannot bind to the amino acid. When the concentration of basic amino acids is reached, the transcription regulatory factor LysG binds to basic amino acids (e.g., lysine) as inducers, and then the promoter of lysE gene can be regulated. Therefore, when a reporter gene such as a fluorescent protein is ligated downstream of the lysE gene promoter, expression of the downstream reporter gene can be initiated, and the concentration of the basic amino acid can be evaluated by the intensity of the fluorescent signal of the reporter gene, thereby screening an amino acid-producing strain.
In some embodiments, the present disclosure constructs a biosensor using a mutant of the transcriptional regulatory factor LysG, which has a greatly improved induced response intensity, and thus, the fluorescence intensity of the mutant that initiates the expression of a reporter gene is significantly improved, resulting in a greatly improved detection sensitivity of the biosensor.
In some embodiments, the biosensor is used to screen for a basic amino acid-producing strain, or to screen for a gene encoding a protein involved in the synthesis of a basic amino acid. Wherein the basic amino acid high-producing strain is lysine, arginine or histidine high-producing strain. The biosensor disclosed by the invention can realize high-throughput screening of basic amino acid high-producing strains or proteins related to basic amino acid synthesis.
In some preferred embodiments, the amino acid-producing strain is a lysine-producing strain.

Example 1 construction of random mutant library of EBD Domain of LysG protein
(1) Construction of lysine biosensor
The method comprises the steps of performing whole Gene synthesis according to reported eyfp Gene sequence information (GeneBank No. AM774338.1), performing PCR amplification by utilizing an eyfp-F/eyfp-R primer to obtain an eyfp Gene fragment, performing PCR amplification by utilizing a Corynebacterium glutamicum 13032 genome (Gene ID: 2830649) as a template and utilizing lysGE-F/lysGE-R as a primer to obtain a lysGE Gene fragment, performing PCR amplification by utilizing pTRCmob as a template and pTRCmob-rev-F/R as a primer to obtain a plasmid framework, purifying and recovering the fragment, recombining and connecting to obtain a recombinant vector pLysWT containing a lysine biosensor.
(2) Construction of random mutation library of EBD domain of LysG protein
Based on the protein crystal structure (PDB: 6 XTU) of LysG, random mutation primer EBD-mut-F/R was designed for the EBD domain (amino acids 90-290) using expression vector pLysWT containing lysine biosensor as template, to which 0.05-0.5mM MnCl was added 2 Under the condition of (1), EBD structural domain coding gene segments with different mutation rates are obtained by error-prone PCR amplification. Meanwhile, pLysWT is used as a template, and the EBD region of LysG is removed by PCR reverse amplification by using a primer EBD-rev-F/R to obtain a linearized vector fragment. After the Dpn I treatment to remove the template plasmid and recovery, the two fragments are connected by a recombinase, chemically transformed into E.coli DH5 alpha, and cultured overnight at 37 ℃. Scraping colony from a plate, extracting plasmids with different mutation rates, mixing the plasmids with different mutation rates according to an equimolar ratio, electrically pulsing into competent cells of the strain C.glutamicum ATCC13032, recovering for 2h at 30 ℃, transferring into a TSB liquid medium containing 25 mug/mL kanamycin, and culturing for 16h at 30 ℃ to obtain a strain library for screening.
Example 2 LysG mutant library flow cytometry sorting
According to the response principle of lysine biosensor, the regulatory protein LysG cannot bind to lysine when the concentration of lysine is low, and thus cannot initiate fluorescent protein by regulating the lysE promoterTranscription of the white gene; when the lysine reaches a certain concentration, the LysG is combined with the lysine, so that the conformation of the LysG is changed, and then the LysG is combined with a lysE promoter to start the expression of a downstream fluorescent reporter gene. The different mutants have different induced response intensities to lysine, and the expression intensities of the fluorescent protein are different. Based on this principle, we screened a library of random mutations of the EBD domain of the LysG protein. The ATCC13032 strain was first transformed with the empty plasmid pTRCmob and the negative control plasmid pLysWT, respectively, to obtain control strains 13032 (pTRCmob) and 13032 (pLysWT). Then, the above strains and mutant strain library were inoculated into TSB liquid medium containing 25. Mu.g/mL kanamycin, cultured at 30 ℃ for 8 hours, and then transferred to CGXIIY medium (50 g/L glucose,2g/L yeast extract,16.5g/L NH) supplemented with 0.8M lysine 4 Cl,5g/L urea,1g/L KH 2 PO 4 ,1g/L K 2 HPO 4 ,42g/L MOPS,0.25g/L MgSO 4 ,0.01g/L FeSO 4 ·2H 2 O,0.01g/L MnSO 4 ·H 2 O,0.001g/L ZnSO 4 ·7H 2 O,0.2mg/L CuSO 4 ,0.02mg/L NiCl 2 ·6H 2 O,0.01g/LCaCl 2 0.03g/L of procatechuic acid,0.2mg/L of biotin,0.1mg/L of vitamin B1), cultured at 30 ℃ for 6 hours, and then the cell concentration was diluted to 0.1 with PBS buffer. The fluorescence intensity of the above strain was analyzed by a flow cytometer, a region having a higher fluorescence intensity than 13032 (pLysWT) was selected as a sorting region, and cells in the region were sorted to obtain a single clone.

The seed solution was transferred to a 96-well plate containing 200. Mu.L of CGXIII Y medium (25. Mu.g/mL kanamycin was added) at 5% (V/V) and 0M or 0.8M lysine was added, the seed solution was cultured at 30 ℃ and 800rpm in a well plate shaker for 12 hours, the bacterial solution was diluted 20-fold with PBS buffer, the fluorescence intensity and OD of eYFP were measured with an enzyme-linked calibrator (SpectraMax M5, molecular Max Devices,. Lambda.excitation =488nm,. Lambda.emision =520 nm), and the mutant having a fluorescence value stronger than that of control strain 13032 (pLysWT) was sequenced to analyze the mutation site. As shown in Table 1, the mutation of the amino acid residues at different positions in the EBD region could improve the induced response of LysG to lysine to various degrees.

Example 5 application of LysG protein EBD Domain mutant to construction of amino acid high-producing Strain
(1) Construction of lysE Gene overexpression vector
To test the effect of the LysG protein EBD mutant in the amino acid-producing strain, pLysWT and pLysWT were prepared separately N146D And pLysWT R143C The fluorescent protein-encoding gene eyfp above was replaced with lysine transporter-encoding gene lysE, and the effect of lysine-induced overexpression of lysE on lysine synthesis was tested. Primers lysE-F/R were designed, and lysE gene was obtained by PCR amplification using ATCC13032 genome as a template. In addition, primers W8-Rev-F/R were designed, and plasmids pLysWT and pLysWT were used respectively N146D And pLysWT R143C Using PCR reverse amplification to remove eyfp gene to obtain linearized vector fragment, treating vector fragment PCR product with Dpn I to remove template plasmid, recovering fragment, connecting the above two fragments with recombinase, and chemically transforming into E.coli DH5 alpha competent cell to obtain expression vector pTRCmob-lysG-lysE, pTRCmob-lysG of lysE gene N146D lysE and pTRCmob-lysG R143C -lysE。
(2) Effect of overexpression of LysE on lysine accumulation
According to the construction method of lysine strains disclosed in the literature (Becker, J., zelder, O.,

H.and Wittmann, C. (2011) From zero to halo-design-based systems of metabolic engineering of Corynebacterium glutamicum for L-lysine production. Metal. Eng.,13, 159-168.), a strain SCgL30 with certain lysine synthesis capacity was constructed by mutating threonine at position 311 of aspartokinase (encoded by lysC gene) in Corynebacterium glutamicum ATCC13032 genome to isoleucine using pK18 mobsacB-based homologous recombination technology. To examine the effect of regulation of expression of lysE gene by LysG and its mutant on lysine synthesis, the above expression vector and empty vector pTRCmob were transformed into the strain C.glutamicum SCgL30, respectively, to obtain LysE overexpression strains SCgL30 (pTRCmob), SCgL30 (pTRCmob-lysG-lysE) and SCgL30 (pTRCmob-lysG) with different regulation of LysG mutant N146D lysE) and its control strain SCgL30 (pTRCmob-lysG) N146D -lysE)。
The above test strains were inoculated into 24-well plates containing 1mL of TSB (supplemented with 25. Mu.g/mL of kanamycin), cultured at 30 ℃ for 8 hours at 800rpm in a well plate shaker, transferred to 24-well plates containing 1mL of lysine fermentation medium at an initial OD 0.5, cultured for 24 hours at 30 ℃ in an 800rpm well plate shaker, and the OD of the bacterial liquid was measured and the lysine concentration and the residual glucose concentration were measured by a biosensor SBA-40D. The lysine fermentation medium comprises the following components: 80g/L glucose,8g/L yeast powder, 9g/L urea and 1.5g/L K 2 HPO 4 ·3H 2 O,0.01g/L MnSO 4 ,0.6g/L MgSO 4 ·7H 2 O,0.01g/L FeSO 4 ·7H 2 O,42g/L MOPS. The fermentation result is shown in figure 2, and the data show that the yield of lysine is 2.07g/L after the expression of the lysine transport protein LysE regulated and controlled by the wild type LysG, which is only 5.1 percent higher than that of the control strain; the lysine yield of the LysE expression strain regulated and controlled by the LysG mutant N146D and R143C respectively reaches 2.57g/L and 2.7g/L, which are respectively improved by 30.5 percent and 37.1 percent compared with the control strain; meanwhile, the glucose conversion rate is respectively improved by 37.8 percent and 44.0 percent compared with the control strain. The above results indicate that the use of lysG mutant and lysE promoter having improved response strength to lysine can be used for expression of target genes of metabolic pathways to promote synthesis and accumulation of lysine.
