Description

Promoter, recombinant microorganism and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of biology, in particular to a promoter, recombinant microorganism and application thereof.
Background
Promoters are DNA sequences that RNA polymerase recognizes, binds to, and initiates transcription, containing sequences required for specific binding and transcription initiation by RNA polymerase. In the biosynthesis process, the promoter is an important element and tool for regulating gene expression, and therefore, development of a high-efficiency promoter is of great importance.
Corynebacterium glutamicum (Corynebacterium glutamicum) is a gram-positive microorganism with the characteristics of fast growth rate, non-pathogenic, and weak ability to degrade self-metabolites. As a conventional industrial microorganism, corynebacterium glutamicum is widely used for the production of various amino acids, nucleotides and organic acids. The history of the use of Corynebacterium glutamicum for the production of amino acids can be traced back to the 60 th century, and as found by Japanese company, corynebacterium glutamicum can produce glutamic acid in natural environment, and the mutagenized Corynebacterium glutamicum can also produce various amino acids such as lysine and valine. Along with the rapid development of metabolic engineering technology and genome sequencing technology, the metabolic path research of corynebacterium glutamicum is clearer, researchers sequentially identify and obtain high-yield mechanisms of various metabolites in genetics, and high-efficiency production of various metabolites is realized.
Efficient production of amino acids can be achieved by a number of routes, for example: relieving feedback inhibition of the product, strengthening key enzymes of terminal synthesis pathways, strengthening cofactor supply, optimizing carbon flow distribution of central metabolism, blocking competition branches and the like. For enhanced expression of genes, conventional strategies are mainly to introduce multiple copies of the gene, or to replace the natural promoter of the gene of interest with a known strong promoter. Currently, the endogenous strong promoters of Corynebacterium glutamicum are commonly used, mainly the promoter encoding the superoxide dismutase gene (sod) and the promoter encoding the elongation factor (tuf). However, these general promoters have a limited number and a fixed expression strength, and thus are far from meeting the requirements of genetic engineering techniques for promoters. In addition, the expression strength of a promoter is also significantly affected by the base sequence and length of the upstream and downstream of the core region, in addition to the base sequence of the core region, on the expression of a gene, which is related to the complicated regulatory mechanism of the gene. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a novel promoter for expression control of a target gene of a target metabolic pathway.
