Description

Method for improving xylose conversion capability of saccharomyces cerevisiae
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of genetic engineering, and relates to a method for improving the xylose conversion capability of saccharomyces cerevisiae, and saccharomyces cerevisiae genetic engineering bacteria for producing ethanol by metabolizing xylose and application thereof.
Background
Biomass is the only renewable energy source containing carbon in nature, and the development of green bio-production to produce various chemicals including fuel ethanol is the best utilization way. Fifteen departments such as the development and reform commission of the 9 th 2017 country jointly print 'the implementation scheme for expanding the production of the biofuel ethanol and popularizing and using the ethanol gasoline for vehicles', and the biofuel ethanol industry of China is on a great opportunity for further development. In particular, the fermentation production technology of the second-generation fuel ethanol using lignocellulose as the raw material has the advantages of 'no grain competition with people, no land competition with grain', ecological environment improvement, economic development promotion in agricultural rural areas and the like compared with the first-generation fuel ethanol (using starch base or glycosyl as the raw material), and is an important direction of the future fuel ethanol development.
The production of the second-generation fuel ethanol needs to pretreat and enzymatically hydrolyze lignocellulose raw materials to release monosaccharide components, wherein 38% -50% of the lignocellulose raw materials are glucose, and 23% -32% of the lignocellulose raw materials are xylose for microbial fermentation utilization. Saccharomyces cerevisiae is considered an ideal cellulose ethanol production strain because of its efficient glucose-converting ethanol production capacity and its greater tolerance to inhibitors relative to bacteria (produced during pretreatment of the feedstock). However, saccharomyces cerevisiae cannot naturally utilize xylose, and if the xylose metabolism capability is given to the Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the utilization rate of raw materials can be improved, so that the economy of cellulosic ethanol is further improved.
Saccharomyces cerevisiae is first required to metabolize xylose by introducing heterologous pathway genes to convert xylose into xylulose that can be utilized by itself, and there are two pathways for converting xylose into xylulose in nature, see FIG. 1: one is the redox pathway present in certain fungi, xylose reductase and xylitol dehydrogenase catalyze the conversion of xylose to xylulose. However, the preference of the two enzyme cofactors is different, which finally results in a large accumulation of xylitol as an intermediate product, and seriously affects the progress of the downstream pathway reaction. The other is an isomerization pathway existing in certain bacteria, xylose is converted into xylulose through one-step catalysis of Xylose Isomerase (XI), the problem of unbalanced cofactor is avoided, and the method is a potential saccharomyces cerevisiae Xylose utilization pathway.
The level of XI activity directly affects the rate at which yeast metabolizes xylose. Proven effective and widely used is XI from the genus Runnum (Piromyces sp.E2). In addition, by matching with overexpression endogenous Xylulokinase (XK) and non-oxidized pentose phosphate pathway (Pentose Phosphate Pathway, PPP for short) genes RPE1, RKI1, TAL1 and TKL1, and knocking out GRE3 genes (the gene coding protein can convert xylose into xylitol with strong inhibition effect on XI), the yeast strain with preliminary xylose metabolism capability can be obtained. Continuous passage on xylose culture medium, i.e. adaptive evolution (domestication), can greatly improve xylose utilization capacity of the strain (see table 1).
Although domestication can greatly enhance the phenotype of the strain, the molecular targets behind are not completely clear. The strains before and after acclimation are subjected to comparative histology analysis to obtain differential molecular targets, the strains reversely after acclimation or the strains before acclimation are subjected to forward reversion to corresponding mutation to verify the effectiveness of the targets, and a plurality of molecular targets favorable for fermenting xylose by saccharomyces cerevisiae are obtained, wherein Kim, S.R. the mutation of an alkaline phosphatase-encoding gene PHO13 in 3 acclimated strains is found, the inactivation of the gene can reduce the expression level of GRE3 and reduce the accumulation of XI inhibitor xylitol, and the deletion of the gene directly before acclimation has promotion effect on xylose utilization (Kim, S.R., et al., PLoS One,2013.8 (2): p.e 57048.). Bao Xiao the teaching problem group found that mutations or deletions in the gene ASK10 encoding the stress response modifier could up-regulate the genes HSP26, SSA1 and HSP104 encoding chaperone proteins, promote correct folding of the XI protein, enhance enzyme activity and ultimately improve xylose fermentation capacity of the strain (Hou, j., et al, meta Eng, 2016.38:p.241-250.). In addition, HOG1 (encoding mitotic activator protein kinase) gene, cAMP-PKA pathway inhibitor gene IRA2 (encoding GTPase activator protein) and MAPKKK signal pathway kinase encoding gene SSK2 involved in yeast intracellular stress response all prove to have promotion effect on fermenting xylose by yeast strains.
The two parts to be improved exist in the work, firstly, the strain used in the previous study is a laboratory strain, the gene operation is dependent on plasmids, and the problems of low strain robustness and the like exist; based on the molecular targets, only partial strain phenotypes can be restored, in other words, the molecular targets obtained by directly integrating the strains before domestication are difficult to reach the domestication level, namely, rational reconstruction cannot be realized. In general, a xylose isomerase expression gene is introduced on the basis of an original saccharomyces cerevisiae strain, a pentose phosphate pathway gene is overexpressed, an aldose reductase gene GRE3 is knocked out, a basic strain with weak xylose metabolism capability can be obtained, and the method is a well-accepted practice in constructing xylose yeast. At present, only the strain modified by the molecules is continuously passaged (domesticated) in a culture medium with xylose as the sole carbon source, so that the xylose yeast strain with the industrial application level can be obtained. No method is available to realize construction of industrial-grade Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains without dependence on domestication and through complete molecular operation. The existence of the problems limits the development of cellulose ethanol xylose yeast strains and severely restricts the green production of fuel ethanol.
Disclosure of Invention
Based on the above-mentioned shortcomings, this classThe industrial diploid saccharomyces cerevisiae CCTCC M94055 is selected as an initial strain in the early stage of the subject group, psXyl A genes are integrated, GRE3 is knocked out, non-oxidized pentose phosphate pathway and xylulokinase genes are overexpressed, a strain CIBTS0573 is obtained, continuous passage is carried out for a long time in a xylose culture medium, and finally a strain CIBTS0735 which is used for metabolizing 80g/l glucose and 40g/l xylose completely in 20 hours is obtained, and the xylose consumption rate is up to 2.5g g -1 l -1 Is the highest value reported at present and is considered to be a xylose yeast strain with industrial application prospect (Diao, L., et al, construction of fast xylose-fermenting yeast based on industrial ethanol-producing diploid Saccharomyces cerevisiae by rational design and adaptive evaluation.BMC Biotechnol, 2013.13:p.110.). Further genomic sequencing analysis found that the XylA copy number increased to 52 in the acclimatized strain CIBTS 0735. Besides that there are unreported NFS1 I492N (encoding cysteine desulphurase, important structural protein synthesized by Saccharomyces cerevisiae mitochondrial Fe-S cluster, mutation of isoleucine 492 to asparagine) mutation. Iterative integration of 50 copies of XyleA in pre-acclimated strain CIBTS0573 with the simultaneous introduction of NFS1 I492N Mutation, the phenotype of the obtained strain CIBTS0573-50-N is equal to that of the domesticated strain CIBTS 0735. The method is characterized in that the construction of the quick-fermentation xylose yeast strain with phenotype comparable to domestication is realized for the first time through molecular operation without depending on domestication. That is, by such an operation, we can construct a strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae that achieves rapid fermentation of xylose to the level of industrial application. The important discovery forms the basis of the invention, has important significance for obtaining saccharomyces cerevisiae engineering bacteria with higher capability of converting xylose into ethanol, and has wide application prospect.

Detailed Description
The inventor finds that XylA copy number in the domesticated strain genome is amplified to 52 by comparing genome analysis on an industrial diploid saccharomyces cerevisiae strain which is domesticated and obtained and rapidly ferments xylose, and NFS1 generates I492N homozygous mutation. Therefore, the strain is subjected to mutation before domestication, the xylose fermenting capacity of the obtained strain is equal to that of the domesticated strain, a genetic mechanism of the xylose metabolism capacity of the strain obtained through domestication is disclosed, and the saccharomyces cerevisiae strain rational reconstruction of the fermentable xylose is realized.
The invention firstly carries out comparative genome analysis on a Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain CIBTS0735 (see the literature Diao, L., et al, BMC Biotechnol,2013.13: p.110. Or patent literature CN 201811024423.1) obtained by early domestication and a starting strain CIBTS0573, and finds that 21 genes are subjected to SNP (single nucleotide variation) change, 23 genes are subjected to InDel (insertion or deletion) change, and the copy number of XyleA of an introduced xylose isomerase gene derived from the ruminococcus is increased to 52. The PCR sequencing of 21 SNPs and 23 InDel sites again verifies that 10 SNP sites and 5 InDel sites confirm the change. Analysis of the possible links between altered gene function and xylose metabolism we speculate that the gene NFS1 encoding cysteine desulphurase is most likely to cooperate with high copy XylA to promote high speed fermentation of xylose by the strain.
We first verify NFS1 I492N Mutations and high copy xylA were necessary for fermenting xylose by the domesticated strain CIBTS 0735. According to XyleA amplification mechanism, cre enzyme expression plasmid is introduced into CIBTS0735, xyleA 'loop out' among a plurality of loxP sites is induced, high-copy XyleA is knocked out in one step, and the growth of the obtained strain in a 40g/L xylose culture medium (YPX 40) is greatly reducedWeak, indicating that high copy XylA is necessary for the strain to ferment xylose. At the same time we will be NFS1 in CIBTS0735 I492N The mutation reverted to wild type, 52 copies of XyleA were retained, and the resulting strain showed a similar significant decrease in growth on YPX40 medium, indicating NFS1 I492N Mutations are also necessary.
To further verify the contribution of the above two targets to the xylose fermentation by the strain, we tried to introduce these two mutations in the pre-acclimated strain CIBTS0573, testing whether rational reconstitution of the fast fermenting xylose yeast strain could be achieved. Iterative integration of xylA copy number directly at specific sites of chromosome CIBTS0573 to 50, found that with increasing xylA copy number, the OD value of the strain in YPX40 increased, but there was a larger gap from the acclimatized strain CIBTS 0735. When NFS1 is introduced I492N After mutation, the growth capacity of the strain is greatly improved, in particular, the strain containing 42 and 50 copies of XylA is in NFS1 I492N In the presence of mutation, the xylose utilization capacity and ethanol production capacity completely level the domesticated strain CIBTS0735, and the result shows that the XyleA and the NFS1 are high in copy number I492N Mutation is the condition of CIBTS0573 to obtain high speed xylose fermenting capacity, so that xylose yeast strain with phenotype comparable to that of domesticated strain may be reconstructed through molecular operation without dependence on domestication.
We found in the study that in addition to the rumen-derived xylose isomerase gene PsXyleA gene (SEQ ID NO: 1), other species-derived xylose isomerase genes such as the Niu Liuwei metagenome-derived xylose isomerase gene RuXyleA (SEQ ID NO: 2) also have good xylose metabolism promoting effects in the NFS1 mutant strain.
Gene NFS1 influences the synthesis of iron-sulfur clusters in saccharomyces cerevisiae mitochondria, mutation of the gene inhibits the normal assembly of the iron-sulfur clusters, and we knock out gene ISU1 which is the synthesis pathway of the iron-sulfur clusters, and find that the growth condition of a xylose culture medium of the strain is greatly improved, so that the xylose metabolism capability of the strain can be greatly improved by inhibiting the synthesis of the iron-sulfur clusters. The mutation or inactivation of NFS1 and ISU1 genes inhibits the synthesis of Fe-S clusters, which are closely related to cellular iron ion metabolism, so that further foothold is possible to increase cytoplasmic iron ion content. The determination shows that the above gene change can greatly improve the iron ion content of cells, and in addition, the iron ion can be directly added into the culture medium to obviously improve the xylose utilization capacity of the strain, and the removal of the iron ion from the culture medium can greatly reduce the xylose utilization capacity of the strain. The results clearly show that molecular operations, such as NFS1 mutation or ISU1 gene inactivation, which can improve the cytoplasmic iron ion content, can be combined with chromosome integration of high copy xylose isomerase genes, such as 34 copies and above, so that the quick fermentation xylose saccharomyces cerevisiae strain reaching the industrial application level can be directly obtained.
The terms "xylose yeast strain", "(xylose-fermenting) s.cerevisiae", "diploid s.cerevisiae" are used herein in the same sense and refer to s.cerevisiae used for the conversion of xylose to ethanol, such as strain CIBTS0735 after acclimation, strain CIBTS0573 before acclimation.
In this context, for the sake of simplicity of description, a certain protein, such as cysteine desulphurase NFS1, is sometimes used in combination with the name of its coding gene (DNA) NFS1, it being understood by the person skilled in the art that they represent different substances in the different descriptive contexts. Those skilled in the art will readily understand their meaning depending on the context and context. For example, for NFS1, when used to describe a cysteine desulphurase function or class, reference is made to a protein; when described as a gene, it refers to the gene encoding the NFS 1. Obviously, the gene mutation NFS1 I492N Refers to a mutation in a gene encoding an I492N mutant of NFS 1.
In the examples, for convenience of description, the genetic alterations in a strain such as CIBTS0735 are abbreviated as suffix, such as CIBTS0735-52-W indicates that strain CIBTS0735 contains 52 copies of XylA in its genome and NFS1 is not mutated (wild type W); CIBTS0735-2-N indicates that the strain CIBTS0735 contains 2 copies of XyleA in its genome and NFS1 is mutated to NFS1 I492N And so on.
The present invention will be described in further detail with reference to specific examples. It should be understood that the following examples are illustrative of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.
The amounts, amounts and concentrations of various substances are referred to herein, wherein the percentages refer to percentages by mass unless otherwise specified.
