Description

Construction method and application of recombinant escherichia coli for synthesizing lactoyl-N-neotetraose
Technical Field
The invention relates to a construction method and application of recombinant escherichia coli for synthesizing lactoyl-N-neotetraose, belonging to the field of microbial genetic engineering.
Background
As a group of structurally complex and diverse glycans, human Milk Oligosaccharides (HMOs) are present in large amounts in human milk, in amounts between 5 and 15g/L, being the third largest solid component next to lactose and lipids. lacto-N-neotetraose (LNnT) is an extremely important neutral core oligosaccharide and has been approved by the us FDA and EU as a nutritional supplement for addition to infant formulas. Numerous studies have shown that LNnT has a variety of health benefits to infants, including prebiotic effects, modulating immunity, antiviral, and anti-adhesion and antibacterial activity. Various methods have been used to synthesize LNnT effectively, and among them, microbial synthesis methods can use inexpensive glycerol or glucose as a carbon source, which reduces production costs, and such methods have little influence on the environment, and thus have received much attention. Using lactose as a substrate, endogenous UDP-N-acetylglucosamine (UDP-GlcNAc) as a donor, beta-1, 3-N-acetylglucosamine transferase (EC 2.4.1.149) catalyzes the first step of transglycosylation to produce lacto-N-trisaccharide II (LNTri II), an essential precursor for LNnT biosynthesis. The precursor LNTri II was then converted to the final product LNnT under catalysis of beta-1, 4-galactosyltransferase (EC 2.4.1.22) using UDP-galactose (UDP-Gal) as a glycoside donor.
For the production of LNnT by microbiological synthesis, patent CN113652385B discloses a method for increasing the yield of lacto-N-neotetraose by screening for beta-1, 4-galactosyltransferase, in which the yield of recombinant lacto-N-neotetraose is 12.14g/L. The existing microbial synthesis method still has the problem of low yield in LNnT production, and the lower LNnT cannot meet the industrial production requirement. In addition, there is still a need for the use of the inducer IPTG in the production of LNnT by existing microbiological synthesis methods, on the one hand, there is a potential toxicity of IPTG and a potential safety risk in food production, and on the other hand, the use of IPTG can greatly increase the cost of industrialization.

DELTA.lacZ.DELTA.P lacY::PJ23119 (MGC 02, a strain disclosed in document Chen,R.,Zhu,Y.,Wang,H.,Liu,Y.,Meng,J.,Chen,Y.,Mu,W.,2023.Engineering Escherichia coli MG1655 for highly efficient biosynthesis of 2'-fucosyllactose by de novo GDP-fucose pathway.J.Agric.Food Chem.71(40),14678-14686.),, after single colonies were grown on plates, and inoculated into a test tube containing 4mL of LB medium containing kanamycin resistance, and cultured for 12 hours, to prepare electrotransfer competent cells.
(2) Long primers Ugd-F and Ugd-R for homologous recombination were synthesized from GENEWIZ Biotech (Suzhou, china) at a final concentration of 100. Mu.M.
(3) The pcrEG plasmid was PCR amplified using primers ugd-N23-F/R and the resulting linear DNA was circularized by single-fragment one-step cloning to a pcrEG-Deltaugd plasmid targeting ugd.
(4) The prepared electrotransformation competence containing pEcCpf < 1 > plasmid is taken on ice, pcrEG-Deltaugd plasmid and long primer Ugd-F or Ugd-R are added after thawing, and 1mL of LB culture medium which is fully precooled is added immediately after electrotransformation. After gently pipetting and mixing and transferring to a sterile 1.5mL ep tube, culturing was carried out for 2h at 37℃and 200 r/min. Then, the whole cells were plated on a double antibody plate (final concentration: 50. Mu.g/L kanamycin and 50. Mu.g/L spectinomycin), and cultured in an incubator at 37℃for 12 to 15 hours in an inverted manner.
(5) Single colonies grown were verified by colony PCR. If the external validation band is shorter than the negative control band, the gene knockout may be successful. And (3) performing bacteria P verification by using an external verification primer delta ugd-YZ-F/R, and sending a sample with a short external verification result band to Suzhou gold intelligent biotechnology limited company for sequencing, wherein a colony matched with the theoretical sequence is a colony with successful knockout ugd.
(6) Inoculating the above-verified bacteria, culturing in a 4mL test tube for 12 hours (50.

Replacement of the original promoter sequence of the galE gene:
The original promoters of the galE gene were replaced with promoters P J23119 and P tac, respectively, using MGC02 as the starting strain. The construction method is identical to the knockout ugd, and is different in that the homologous recombination templates containing the tac promoter fragment are obtained by overlap extension PCR by using 1-tac-F, 2-tac-R and 3-tac-R as primers, and the homologous recombination templates containing the J23119 promoter fragment are obtained by overlap extension PCR by using 1-J23119-F, 2-J23119-R and 3-J23119-R as primers. The hosts finally obtained, in which the original galE gene promoter was replaced with P tac and P J23119, were designated MGC02T and MGC02J, respectively.
Example 3: lactoyl-N-neotetraose produced by recombinant strain fermentation
(1) Production of lactoyl-N-neotetraose by shake flask fermentation
The plasmids pTrc99a-lgT A, pTac-lgT A, pJ23119-lgT A and pCD-JCP, pCD-TCP obtained in example 1 were transferred into E.coli recombinant strain MGC02 in the manner shown in Table 4, respectively, to obtain strains MGC02-nA, MGC02-nB, MGC02-nC, MGC02-nD, MGC02-nE, MGC02-nF, and the yields of lactoyl-N-neotetraose were verified by fermentation.
The fermentation method comprises the following steps: the recombinant strains are respectively grown on a resistant agar LB plate overnight, inoculated into 4mL LB culture medium with corresponding antibiotics as initial seed liquid, and cultured for 8-12 h at 37 ℃ and 200 rpm. And (3) inoculating 400 mu L of seed solution into 20mL of fermentation medium, culturing at 37 ℃ and 200rpm until the OD 600 is 0.6-0.8, adding 0.5mM IPTG with the final concentration, and continuously performing induction culture at 25 ℃ and 200rpm for 96 hours. 1mL of the fermentation broth was centrifuged at 12,000rpm for 10min, and the supernatant was used for HPLC measurement.
As a result, as shown in Table 4, the yield of lacto-N-neotetraose was highest in strain MGC02-nB, 1.31g/L.
TABLE 4 engineering strain shake flask fermentation information for LNnT production
(2) Improving precursor supply
To increase precursor supply to further increase LNnT production, plasmids pTrc99a-lgtA and pCD-JCP were introduced into the constructed key precursor-enhanced hosts MGC12, MGC02T, MGC J, and fermentation validated LNnT production. The enhancement of either the knockout bypass gene ugd or galE is to increase the supply of UDP-Gal, which is a galactosyl donor from precursor LNTri II to the final synthesis of LNnT.
As a result of the fermentation conditions in the step (1), as shown in Table 4, knocking out the bypass gene ugd did not result in an increase in LNnT yield, and after strengthening galE to increase UDP-Gal supply, LNnT yield was further increased to 1.77g/L, and the group of enhancement of galE with P J23119 was superior to P tac.
Example 4: introduction of quorum sensing systems into host engineering bacteria to produce LNnT
(1) Fermentation production of LNnT by introducing quorum sensing system
The QS system was introduced into the engineered strain to evaluate its potential to improve LNnT synthesis. The recombinant strains MGC02-A33, MGC02-B33 and MGC02-C33 were obtained by introducing the plasmids pTrc99a-luxR-PQS 33-luxI-lgTAs, pTrc99a-PQS 33-lgTAs, pCD-luxR-PQS33-luxI-CP and pCD-PQS33-CP constructed in example 2 into MGC 02. The LNnT production of the recombinant strain was verified by fermentation under substantially the same conditions as in example 3, the only difference being that there was no need to add IPTG to initiate gene expression, and the results are shown in table 5.
After the lux type quorum sensing system is introduced into host engineering bacteria, the LNnT yields of the obtained strains MGC02-A33, MGC02-B33 and MGC02-C33 are 1.32 g/L, 3.05g/L and 1.04g/L respectively. This suggests that the implementation of the lux-type QS system is a very efficient method of increasing LNnT production. By autonomously and dynamically regulating the expression of lgtA and cpsIaJ, the production of LNnT was increased to 3.05g/L, 2.33 times that of the control MGC 02-nB. Furthermore, the results of the study also show that the location of luxR-luxI on the plasmid is very important under the quorum sensing system under the control of the PQS33 promoter, which shows a significant advantage over the pTrc99a vector (expression lgtA) when it is located on the pCD vector (expression cpsIaJ), whereas the effectiveness is greatly reduced when the luxR-luxI is present on both vectors.
TABLE 5 engineering strain shake flask fermentation information for the production of LNnT by introducing a quorum sensing system
(2) Promoter optimization
Promoters PQS03, PQS13, PQS23, PQS33 and PQS43 have different fluorescence peaks and trigger ODs, and the fluorescence peaks gradually rise and the trigger ODs gradually decrease from PQS03 to PQS 43. To further optimize the QS system, PQS33 in MGC02-B33 and MGC02-C33 were replaced with PQS03, PQS13, PQS23 and PQS43, respectively, to obtain two LNnT-producing libraries each containing 25 host engineering bacteria. In the first library, luxR-luxI was present on the pCD vector only, while in the other library it was present on both the pTrc99a vector and the pCD vector.
As shown in table 5, these strains exhibited different LNnT production levels. The best production strain in the first library was MGC02-B03 with an LNnT yield of 3.56g/L, a 1.7 fold increase compared to the strain MGC02-nB prior to introduction into the quorum sensing system. In the other pool, the highest yield was 3.33g/L, 1.54 fold increase compared to the pre-optimized level. The best producer strain in the first library contained pTrc99a-PQS03-lgT A and pCD-luxR-PQS33-luxI-CP plasmids, while the best producer strain in the other library contained pTrc99a-luxR-PQS23-luxI-lgT A and pCD-luxR-PQS43-luxI-CP plasmids.
The results indicated that strain MGC02-B03, which had been expressed by promoter PQS03 to control LgtA and by promoter PQS33 to control CpsIaJ, gave the highest yield of LNnT, indicating that the timing of expression of the lgtA and cpsIaJ genes was a key factor when LNnT was expressed using the QS system. Driving LgtA with QS promoters at higher trigger OD and driving expression of CpsIaJ at lower trigger OD resulted in higher LNnT titers. By fine tuning the timing of LgtA and CpsIaJ expression, the LNnT yield was further increased and the yield of the best producing strain reached 3.56g/L.
Example 5: fed-batch fermentation production of LNnT
In order to further verify the amplification effect of the high-yield LNnT strain, an engineering strain MGC02-B03 is selected for carrying out a fed-batch fermentation experiment of a 5L fermentation tank.
After the recombinant strain MGC02-B03 grows on an ampicillin and streptomycin-containing agar LB plate overnight, single colony is selected from the plate and inoculated into 4mL of LB culture medium containing ampicillin and streptomycin antibiotics for overnight culture, and the single colony is used as primary seed liquid; 1mL of the primary seed solution is inoculated into 100mL of fermentation medium and is subjected to expansion culture for 3-6h at 37 ℃ and 200rpm, so as to obtain secondary seed solution. The prepared secondary seed liquid was then inoculated into a 5L fermenter containing 2L of fermentation medium at an inoculum size of 10%. The fermentation culture temperature was controlled at 30℃throughout, and lactose addition was started when OD 600 reached about 40. When the concentration of the glycerol is lower than 3g/L, adding a glycerol feed supplement liquid to maintain the concentration of the glycerol in the fermentation system at 3-10g/L, when the concentration of the lactose is lower than 2g/L, adding a lactose feed supplement liquid to maintain the concentration of the lactose in the fermentation system at 2-5g/L, and regulating and controlling the pH by ammonia water to maintain the pH of the whole fermentation to be stable between 6.6 and 6.8.
Samples taken when the fermentation had proceeded to 50 hours and examined for LNnT production, which showed that the maximum production of LNnT in the supernatant was 20.33g/L and the productivity was 0.41g/L, which was 5.71 times that of the shake flask fermentation.
While the invention has been described with reference to the preferred embodiments, it is not limited thereto, and various changes and modifications can be made therein by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims.
