Description

苏氨酸生产菌株的构建方法 技术领域
本发明属于微生物工程技术领域,具体地说,涉及一种苏氨酸生产菌株的构建方法。
背景技术
L-苏氨酸(L-Threonin),化学名称为β-羟基-α-氨基丁酸,分子式C 4H 9NO 3,相对分子质量119.12。L-苏氨酸是一种必需氨基酸,主要用于医药、化学试剂、食品强化剂、饲料添加剂等领域。
谷氨酸棒杆菌中,由草酰乙酸生成苏氨酸需五步催化反应,分别为天冬氨酸激酶(lysC编码)、天冬氨酸半醛脱氢酶(asd编码)、高丝氨酸脱氢酶(hom编码)、高丝氨酸激酶(thrB)以及苏氨酸合酶(thrC)编码。Hermann Sahm等人一直致力于高产苏氨酸的谷氨酸棒状杆菌的开发,并取得一定突破,获得了抗反馈抑制的hom基因(Reinscheid D J,Eikmanns B J,Sahm H.Analysis of a Corynebacterium glutamicum hom gene coding for a feedback-resistant homoserine dehydrogenase.[J].Journal of Bacteriology,1991,173(10):3228-3230)、lysC基因(Eikmanns B J,Eggeling L,Sahm H.Molecular aspects of lysine,threonine,and isoleucine biosynthesis in Corynebacterium glutamicum.[J].Antonie Van Leeuwenhoek,1993,64(2):145-163)。继Hermann Sahm之后,Lothar Eggling通过弱化苏氨酸利用途径中的编码基因glyA,同时过表达苏氨酸外运蛋白ThrE,使得苏氨酸的产量由49mM提高到67mM(Simic P,Willuhn J,Sahm H,et al.Identification of glyA(Encoding Serine Hydroxymethyltransferase)and Its Use Together with the Exporter ThrE To Increase l-Threonine Accumulation by Corynebacterium glutamicum[J].Applied and Environmental Microbiology,2002,68(7):3321-3327)。
目前利用谷氨酸棒状杆菌生产苏氨酸的报道主要集中在其合成途径中,关于前体供应等方面的报道较少。且现有报道仅对苏氨酸合成途径做了初步研究,并未形成系统。
