Description

改造的磷酸烯醇丙酮酸羧化酶及其在提高谷氨酸棒杆菌氨基酸产量中的应用Modified phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase and its application in improving amino acid yield of Corynebacterium glutamicum 技术领域technical field
本发明涉及生物领域。具体地,本发明涉及改造的磷酸烯醇丙酮酸羧化酶及其在提高谷氨酸棒杆菌氨基酸产量中的应用。The present invention relates to the field of biology. Specifically, the present invention relates to the modified phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase and its application in improving the amino acid production of Corynebacterium glutamicum.
背景技术Background technique
氨基酸是蛋白质的基本组成部分,这些营养关键化合物广泛用于制备饲料添加剂、食品成分、营养品和药物。近年来世界氨基酸产量稳步增长。特别地,天冬氨酸族氨基酸(包括L-赖氨酸和L-苏氨酸)已经在世界范围内广泛应用,并且通过使用谷氨酸棒杆菌(Corynebacterium glutamicum)或者大肠杆菌(Escherichia coli)进行发酵,在氨基酸市场中已经占据了越来越大的份额。Amino acids are the basic building blocks of proteins, and these nutritionally critical compounds are widely used in the preparation of feed additives, food ingredients, nutraceuticals and pharmaceuticals. In recent years, the world's amino acid production has grown steadily. In particular, aspartic amino acids (including L-lysine and L-threonine) have been widely used worldwide, and by using Corynebacterium glutamicum or Escherichia coli Fermentation has occupied an increasing share of the amino acid market.
先前的研究表明,草酰乙酸(Oxaloacetate,OAA)衍生的氨基酸如L-赖氨酸或L-苏氨酸的产率主要取决于通过补缺途径的碳通量。谷氨酸棒杆菌具有磷酸烯醇丙酮酸羧化酶(Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase,PEPC)和丙酮酸羧化酶(Pyruvate carboxylase,PYC),用于补充消耗的草酰乙酸。Previous studies have shown that the yield of oxaloacetate (OAA)-derived amino acids such as L-lysine or L-threonine mainly depends on the carbon flux through the complementation pathway. Corynebacterium glutamicum has phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC) and pyruvate carboxylase (Pyruvate carboxylase, PYC), which are used to supplement the consumed oxaloacetate.
磷酸烯醇丙酮酸羧化酶是一种见于大部分细菌和所有植物的酶。磷酸烯醇丙酮酸(Phosphoenolpyruvate,PEP)是糖酵解的中间产物,在PEP被PEPC羧化为草酰乙酸后,又会很快被苹果酸脱氢酶(Malate Dehydrogenase)转化为苹果酸(Malate),因此为三羧酸循环(TCA循环)补充了中间产物。而TCA循环过程中的许多中间产物都是氨基酸合成所需的底物,所以在大多数生物中,PEPC的主要作用是分流糖酵解,为氨基酸的合成提供原料。TCA循环中某些中间产物是合成许多重要有机物的前体,如OAA是天冬氨酸族氨基酸合成的碳架。α-酮戊二酸是谷氨酸族氨基酸合成的碳架。磷酸烯醇式丙酮酸羧化酶催化磷酸烯醇式丙酮酸和CO2反应生成草酰乙酸。反应方程式如下:PEP+CO2=OAA+Pi。磷酸烯醇式丙酮酸羧化酶的活性增强,有助于增加草酰乙酸的积累,作为天冬氨酸族氨基酸和谷氨酸族氨基酸合成途径中重要前体,草酰乙酸供给充足才能保证相关氨基酸的高效合成,因此,增强前体物草酰乙酸供给对高产天冬氨酸族氨基酸和谷氨酸族氨基酸也是十分重要的。Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase is an enzyme found in most bacteria and all plants. Phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) is an intermediate product of glycolysis. After PEP is carboxylated to oxaloacetate by PEPC, it is quickly converted to malate by Malate Dehydrogenase. ), thus supplementing the tricarboxylic acid cycle (TCA cycle) with intermediates. Many intermediate products in the TCA cycle are substrates required for amino acid synthesis, so in most organisms, the main role of PEPC is to shunt glycolysis to provide raw materials for amino acid synthesis. Some intermediate products in the TCA cycle are the precursors for the synthesis of many important organic compounds, such as OAA is the carbon skeleton for the synthesis of aspartic amino acids. Alpha-ketoglutarate is the carbon skeleton for the synthesis of glutamate amino acids. Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase catalyzes the reaction of phosphoenolpyruvate with CO2 to form oxaloacetate. The reaction equation is as follows: PEP+CO2=OAA+Pi. The enhanced activity of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase helps to increase the accumulation of oxaloacetate. As an important precursor in the synthesis pathway of aspartate amino acids and glutamate amino acids, sufficient supply of oxaloacetate can ensure Therefore, enhancing the supply of the precursor oxaloacetate is also very important for the high yield of aspartic and glutamic amino acids.
磷酸烯醇式丙酮酸羧化酶首先在菠菜叶片中发现的。在体内它是以同源四聚体的形式 存在的,单体的大小为100-1l0kDa。PEP羧化酶在其活性表达方面也经历各种调节。已有研究报道了从许多不同细菌中分离纯化了PEPC酶,发现他们的活性都受到许多代谢物的调控。在大肠杆菌中,PEPC酶活性可被乙酰辅酶A和果糖1,6-二磷酸激活,并可产生协同激活作用,但受到天冬氨酸和苹果酸的严重抑制。在醋酸杆菌(Acetobacter aceti)中,PEPC酶活受天冬氨酸和一些TCA循环代谢物抑制,尤其是琥珀酸。在谷氨酸棒状杆菌中,PEPC的调控情况与大肠杆菌PEPC不同,其酶活不能被乙酰辅酶A所激活,但同样可被天冬氨酸所强烈抑制。此外,与黄短杆菌相比,谷氨酸对谷氨酸棒状杆菌PEPC的酶活抑制更明显。PEPC酶的这些精细的调控表明PEPC是从碳源转变为氨基酸的代谢流中的重要调控节点,这使其成为氨基酸生产菌株改造的重要靶点。Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase was first discovered in spinach leaves. In vivo it exists in the form of homotetramers with a monomer size of 100-110 kDa. PEP carboxylase also undergoes various modulations in its active expression. Studies have reported the isolation and purification of PEPC enzymes from many different bacteria, and found that their activities are regulated by many metabolites. In Escherichia coli, PEPC enzyme activity can be activated by acetyl-CoA and fructose 1,6-bisphosphate, and can produce synergistic activation, but is severely inhibited by aspartate and malate. In Acetobacter aceti, PEPC enzymatic activity is inhibited by aspartate and some TCA cycle metabolites, especially succinate. In Corynebacterium glutamicum, the regulation of PEPC is different from that of E. coli PEPC. Its enzymatic activity cannot be activated by acetyl-CoA, but it can also be strongly inhibited by aspartic acid. In addition, compared with Brevibacterium flavus, glutamate inhibited the enzyme activity of Corynebacterium glutamicum PEPC more obviously. These fine regulation of PEPC enzymes suggest that PEPC is an important regulatory node in the metabolic flow from carbon source to amino acid, which makes it an important target for amino acid-producing strain engineering.
在现有技术中,开发了多种技术以在氨基酸发酵中进行有效生产,其中以对磷酸烯醇丙酮酸羧化酶进行修饰为主。但是,目前对磷酸烯醇丙酮酸羧化酶的修饰一般是通过过表达细菌本身的磷酸烯醇式丙酮酸羧化酶编码基因或者是对其进行突变修饰,从而提高草酰乙酸的积累量,而且产酸提高效果并不显著,难以满足工业需求,而且迄今为止,没有专利报道异源表达植物中的磷酸烯醇丙酮酸羧化酶编码基因来提高谷氨酸棒状杆菌的CO2固定能力,从而提高草酰乙酸的积累量,进而提高产酸。In the prior art, a variety of techniques have been developed for efficient production in amino acid fermentation, mainly the modification of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase. However, at present, the modification of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase is generally by overexpressing the phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase encoding gene of bacteria itself or mutating it, thereby increasing the accumulation of oxaloacetate. Moreover, the effect of improving acid production is not significant, and it is difficult to meet industrial needs. And so far, there is no patent report on heterologous expression of the gene encoding phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase in plants to improve the CO2 fixation capacity of Corynebacterium glutamicum, thereby Increase the accumulation of oxaloacetic acid, thereby increasing acid production.
因此,目前通过改造磷酸烯醇丙酮酸羧化酶以获得高产氨基酸菌株仍有待研究。Therefore, it remains to be studied to obtain high-producing amino acid strains by modifying phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase.

大肠杆菌-谷氨酸棒杆菌穿梭表达载体指能在大肠杆菌和棒状杆菌中复制并稳定存在,含有一个在大肠杆菌和棒状杆菌中皆具有转录启动功能的启动子以及转录终止功能的终止子。组成型表达载体是在克隆载体基本骨架的基础上增加表达元件(如启动子、终止子等),使目的基因能够表达的载体。其中,启动子(promoter)是RNA聚合酶结合并启动转录的特异DNA序列,终止子(terminator)是给予RNA聚合酶转录终止信号的DNA序列。诱导型表达载体是为实现外源蛋白分泌表达,最直接的方法就是将该基因插人到宿主分泌蛋白的表达元件(启动子和分泌信号信号肽序列)的后面。在表达载体中引入严格调控的强启动子,能够使目的基因在低诱导物浓度条件下仍能表达。诱导方式通常为化学诱导和环境诱导。The Escherichia coli-Corynebacterium glutamicum shuttle expression vector means that it can replicate and exist stably in Escherichia coli and Corynebacterium, and contains a promoter with transcription initiation function and a terminator with transcription termination function in both Escherichia coli and Corynebacterium. Constitutive expression vectors are vectors that add expression elements (such as promoters, terminators, etc.) to the basic skeleton of the cloning vector, so that the target gene can be expressed. Among them, a promoter is a specific DNA sequence that RNA polymerase binds to and initiates transcription, and a terminator is a DNA sequence that gives RNA polymerase a transcription termination signal. Inducible expression vector is to realize the secreted expression of exogenous protein, and the most direct method is to insert the gene behind the expression element (promoter and secretion signal signal peptide sequence) of the host secreted protein.

根据常规方案,将上述粗酶液进行SDS-PAGE电泳分离,目的蛋白大小约102KDa,通过BCA蛋白检测试剂盒进行蛋白含量检测。通过镍柱亲和层析法纯化目的蛋白,其原理为:多聚组氨酸能与多种过渡金属和过渡金属螯合物结合,因此带暴露的6 X His-tag的蛋白质能结合于固化Ni2+树脂,从而将带有his-tag组氨酸标签的融合蛋白与其它蛋白区分开来。当我们用高浓度的咪唑(imidazole)溶液洗脱的时侯,咪唑便与融合蛋白his-tag的咪唑环竞争结合,最终将融合蛋白洗脱下来。纯化后的蛋白再次进行SDS-PAGE电泳检测。According to the conventional protocol, the above crude enzyme solution was separated by SDS-PAGE electrophoresis, the size of the target protein was about 102KDa, and the protein content was detected by BCA protein detection kit. The target protein was purified by nickel column affinity chromatography. The principle is: polyhistidine can bind to various transition metals and transition metal chelates, so the protein with exposed 6X His-tag can bind to the immobilized Ni2+ resin, thereby distinguishing his-tag histidine-tagged fusion proteins from other proteins. When we eluted with a high concentration of imidazole solution, imidazole competed with the imidazole ring of the fusion protein his-tag for binding, and finally the fusion protein was eluted. The purified protein was detected by SDS-PAGE electrophoresis again.
