Description

Novel variant of transport protein and method for producing L-aromatic amino acid using same
The present invention is a divisional application filed for the application of 2023, 02, 14, 202380008895.0, titled "novel variant of transport protein and method for producing L-aromatic amino acid by using the same".
Technical Field
The present invention relates to novel variants of transport proteins and methods for producing L-aromatic amino acids using the same.
Background
Amino acids are classified into hydrophobic, hydrophilic, basic and acidic amino acids according to the nature of side chains, and amino acids having benzene rings therein are called aromatic amino acids. Among the aromatic amino acids, phenylalanine, tyrosine and tryptophan are essential amino acids that cannot be synthesized in living bodies, and belong to the high value-added industry that forms a market of $3000 million each year worldwide.
The production of aromatic amino acids can be carried out using wild-type strains obtained in a natural state or variant strains modified in such a manner as to enhance the amino acid productivity. In recent years, in order to improve the production efficiency of aromatic amino acids, genetic recombination techniques have been applied to microorganisms such as E.coli and coryneform bacteria which are used in many cases for producing useful substances such as L-amino acids, and various recombinant strains or variants having excellent L-aromatic amino acid productivity have been developed, and a method for producing L-aromatic amino acids using the same. In particular, the following attempts were made: the production of the corresponding amino acid is increased by targeting genes such as enzymes, transcription factors, transport proteins, etc. involved in the biosynthesis pathway of the L-aromatic amino acid, or inducing mutation in promoters regulating their expression. However, since the types of proteins such as enzymes, transcription factors, transport proteins, etc., which are directly or indirectly involved in the production of L-aromatic amino acids, are several tens of kinds, a great deal of research is actually required as to whether the L-aromatic amino acid production capacity is increased or not according to the activity change of such proteins.

Detailed Description
The present invention will be described in more detail below. However, such descriptions are merely provided for the purpose of facilitating understanding of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is not limited to such exemplary descriptions.
Example 1 preparation of strains expressing variants of ammonium Transporter
In order to confirm the effect of the variant in which glycine 363 is substituted with aspartic acid in the amino acid sequence of ammonium transporter (SEQ ID NO: 3) on the production of L-aromatic amino acids, vectors expressing the above ammonium transporter variants and strains into which the above vectors were introduced were made. For gene insertion of the intra-strain ammonium transporter variants, plasmids pDSG and pDS9 were used and made as follows.
Here, the plasmid pDSG has an origin of replication which functions only in E.coli, an ampicillin resistance gene and a leader RNA (gRNA) expression mechanism. Plasmid pDS9 has an origin of replication which functions only in E.coli, with kanamycin resistance gene, the λRed gene (exo, bet and gam) and the CAS9 expression mechanism derived from Streptococcus pyogenes (Streptococcus pyogenes).
1-1 preparation of transformation vector pDSG-amtB (Gly 363 Asp)
By performing PCR using Escherichia coli MG1655 (KCTC 14419 BP) gDNA as a template, and using the primer pair of the primer 7 and the primer 9 and the primer pair of the primer 8 and the primer 10, respectively, an upstream (upstream) fragment of the 363 st amino acid variation of the Escherichia coli ambB gene encoding an ammonium transporter was obtained, and a downstream (downstream) fragment of the 363 st amino acid variation of the Escherichia coli ambB gene was obtained using the primer pair of the primer 11 and the primer 13 and the primer pair of the primer 12 and the primer 14. In this case, each of the upstream (upstream) and downstream (downstream) fragments includes a sequence in which glycine (Gly) which is amino acid residue 363 of the ambb gene is changed to aspartic acid (Asp). Here, the amplification conditions of Takara PrimeSTAR Max DNApolymerase, PCR were performed by repeating denaturation at 95℃for 10 seconds, annealing at 57℃for 15 seconds, and polymerization at 72℃for 10 seconds 30 times.
4 pDSG gene fragments were obtained by performing PCR using the plasmid pDSG as a template and the primer pairs of primer 3 and primer 5, the primer pair of primer 4 and primer 6, the primer pair of primer 15 and primer 1, and the primer pair of primer 16 and primer 2, respectively. In this case, each gene fragment was made to contain a gRNA sequence targeting Gly363 of the amtB gene. The gRNA selects the NGG pre 20mer of the sequence to be mutated. Here, the amplification conditions of Takara PrimeSTAR Max DNApolymerase, PCR were applied by repeating denaturation at 95℃for 10 seconds, annealing at 57℃for 15 seconds and polymerization at 72℃for 15 seconds 30 times.
Using self-assembled cloning (BioTechniques 51:55-56 (July 2011)), the obtained amino acids 363 of the amtB gene were cloned upstream (upstream) and downstream (downstream), and 4 pDSG gene fragments, thereby obtaining a recombinant plasmid designated as pDSG-amtB (Gly 363 Asp).
1-2 preparation of L-tryptophan or L-phenylalanine producing Strain into which ammonium Transporter variant amtB (Gly 363 Asp) was introduced
Coli KCCM13013P and KCCM10016 were used as parent strains for the production of L-tryptophan and L-phenylalanine producing strains.

The pDSG-amtB (Gly 363 Asp) plasmid was transformed 2 times into selected colonies, cultured in LB-Amp & Km (containing 25g/L LB liquid medium, 100mg/L ampicillin and 50mg/L kanamycin) solid medium, and after ampicillin and kanamycin resistant colonies were selected, PCR was performed using primer pair of primer 17 and primer 18, thereby obtaining gene fragments. The amplification conditions for the polymerase using Takara PrimeSTAR Max DNApolymerase, PCR were repeated 30 times for denaturation at 95℃for 10 seconds, annealing at 57℃for 10 seconds, and polymerization at 72℃for 15 seconds. The sequence of the gene fragment obtained by using the primer pair of the primer 17 and the primer 18 was confirmed by the commission Macrogen.
The selected 2 transformants were subcultured 7 times in LB liquid medium, and colonies were selected in LB solid medium. Each colony was selectively cultured in LB, LB-Amp and LB-Km solid medium, respectively. Colonies that grew in LB solid medium and did not grow in LB-Amp and LB-Km solid medium were selected. The strains produced by the method described above were designated as KCCM13013P_pDSG-amtB (Gly 363 Asp) and KCCM10016_pDSG-amtB (Gly 363 Asp), respectively.
The primer sequences used in example 1 are shown in Table 1 below.

By performing PCR using Escherichia coli MG1655 (KCTC 14419 BP) gDNA as a template and using the primer pair of the primer 7 and the primer 9 and the primer pair of the primer 8 and the primer 10, respectively, an upstream (upstream) fragment of the 136 th amino acid variation of the Escherichia coli yicO gene encoding adenine transporter was obtained, and a downstream (downstream) fragment of the 136 th amino acid variation of the Escherichia coli yicO gene was obtained using the primer pair of the primer 11 and the primer 13 and the primer pair of the primer 12 and the primer 14. In this case, the upstream (upstream) and downstream (downstream) fragments were each made to include a sequence in which tryptophan (Trp) as amino acid residue 136 of the yicO gene was changed to a Stop codon (Stop). Here, the amplification conditions of Takara PrimeSTAR Max DNApolymerase, PCR were performed by repeating denaturation at 95℃for 10 seconds, annealing at 57℃for 15 seconds, and polymerization at 72℃for 10 seconds 30 times.
4 pDSG gene fragments were obtained by performing PCR using the plasmid pDSG as a template and the primer pairs of primer 3 and primer 5, the primer pair of primer 4 and primer 6, the primer pair of primer 15 and primer 1, and the primer pair of primer 16 and primer 2, respectively. In this case, each gene fragment was made to contain a gRNA sequence targeting Trp No. 136 of the yicO gene. The gRNA selects the NGG pre 20mer of the sequence to be mutated. Here, the amplification conditions of Takara PrimeSTAR Max DNApolymerase, PCR were applied by repeating denaturation at 95℃for 10 seconds, annealing at 57℃for 15 seconds and polymerization at 72℃for 15 seconds 30 times.
The obtained 136 th amino acid of the yicO gene was cloned upstream (upstream) and downstream (downstream) and 4 pDSG gene fragments by a self-assembled cloning method (BioTechniques 51:55-56 (July 2011)), to obtain a recombinant plasmid, which was named as pDSG-yicO (Trp 136 Stop).
2-2 production of L-tryptophan or L-phenylalanine producing Strain into which adenine transporter variant yicO (Trp 136 Stop) was introduced
Coli KCCM13013P and KCCM10016 were used as parent strains for the production of L-tryptophan and L-phenylalanine producing strains.
Plasmid pDS9 was transformed into KCCM13013P strain or KCCM10016 strain 1 time, and after culturing in LB-Km (containing 25g/L LB liquid medium and 50mg/L kanamycin) solid medium, colonies with kanamycin resistance were selected. The pDSG-yicO (Trp 136 Stop) plasmid was transformed 2 times into a selected colony, cultured in LB-Amp & Km (containing 25g/L LB liquid medium, 100mg/L ampicillin and 50mg/L kanamycin) solid medium, and after ampicillin and kanamycin resistant colonies were selected, PCR was performed using primer pair of primer 17 and primer 18 to obtain a gene fragment. The amplification conditions for the polymerase using Takara PrimeSTAR Max DNApolymerase, PCR were repeated 30 times for denaturation at 95℃for 10 seconds, annealing at 57℃for 10 seconds, and polymerization at 72℃for 15 seconds. The sequence of the gene fragment obtained by using the primer pair of the primer 17 and the primer 18 was confirmed by the commission Macrogen.
The selected 2 transformants were subcultured 7 times in LB liquid medium, and colonies were selected in LB solid medium. Each colony was selectively cultured in LB, LB-Amp and LB-Km solid medium, respectively. Colonies that grew in LB solid medium and did not grow in LB-Amp and LB-Km solid medium were selected. The strains produced by the method described above were named KCCM13013P_yicO (Trp 136 Stop) and KCCM10016_yicO (Trp 136 Stop), respectively.
The primer sequences used in example 2 are shown in Table 5 below.

3-1 preparation of vector pDSG-yeeO (Gly 272 Glu) for transformation
By performing PCR using Escherichia coli MG1655 (KCTC 14419 BP) gDNA as a template, respectively, an upstream (upstream) fragment of amino acid variation of No. 272 of the Escherichia coli yeeO gene encoding FMN/FAD transporter was obtained by using the primer pair of primer 7 and primer 9 and the primer pair of primer 8 and primer 10, and a downstream (downstream) fragment of amino acid variation of No. 272 of the Escherichia coli yeeO gene was obtained by using the primer pair of primer 11 and primer 13 and the primer pair of primer 12 and primer 14. In this case, each of the upstream (upstream) and downstream (downstream) fragments includes a sequence in which glycine (Gly) which is the 272 th amino acid residue of the yeeO gene is changed to glutamine (Glu). Here, the amplification conditions of Takara PrimeSTAR Max DNApolymerase, PCR were performed by repeating denaturation at 95℃for 10 seconds, annealing at 57℃for 15 seconds, and polymerization at 72℃for 10 seconds 30 times.
