Citrate synthase promoter mutant and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of molecular biology, and in particular relates to a mutant of a citrate synthase gene promoter, a transcription expression cassette containing the promoter mutant, a recombinant expression vector, a recombinant microorganism host cell, and a method for enhancing the expression of a target gene, preparing protein and producing a target compound by using the promoter.
Background
Glutamic acid is an amino acid variety with the greatest global yield, is one of 20 common amino acids constituting proteins, is a basic substance constituting proteins required for animal nutrition, and is widely applied to industries such as medicine, health, food, animal feed, cosmetics and the like, and is mainly produced by fermentation of corynebacterium glutamicum. With the continuous development of biotechnology, reports of metabolic engineering on corynebacteria to improve the glutamic acid yield of the corynebacteria are increasing, such as enhancing the activity of pyruvate dehydrogenase, enhancing the activity of glutamate transporter, introducing phosphoketolase activity and the like.
Citrate synthase, encoded by the gltA gene, catalyzes the production of both oxaloacetate and acetyl-CoA to citrate and CoA. It is reported in CN1261627A that the introduction of citrate synthase from Brevibacterium lactofermentum into E.coli can increase the glutamic acid yield of E.coli. CN105695383B reports that overexpression of citrate synthase in corynebacterium glutamicum using endogenous strong constitutive promoter P tuf can effectively increase glutamate yield. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that there are many ways to enhance the expression of enzymes, such as increasing copy number, replacing strong promoters, and the like. Since increasing the copy number increases the burden of the strain to some extent, it may cause the genome of the strain to be unstable, and the promoter does not have the above drawbacks for the expression control of genes, there is a need in the art for improving the productivity of coryneform glutamic acid by developing a promoter adapted to a target gene such as gltA so as to express citrate synthase more efficiently, thereby improving the productivity of glutamic acid of the strain and reducing the production cost.

To verify the effect of the gltA promoter mutant and the combination GltA C361Y mutant on glutamate production, fermentation tests were performed on the SCgGC and SCgGC strains constructed as described above, with strain SCgGC as a control.
The strains were first inoculated into a seed medium for cultivation of 8 h, the cultures were inoculated as seeds into 24-well plates containing 800. Mu.L of fermentation medium per well, the initial OD 600 was controlled to be about 0.5, the rotation speed of the well plates was 800 rpm, 3 strains were grown in parallel, at 30℃for cultivation, 5 g/L urea was fed in 19 h and 22 hours, the fermentation of 25 h was completed, the yield of L-glutamic acid and the glucose consumption were examined, and the sugar acid conversion rate from glucose to L-glutamic acid was calculated. The results are shown in Table 4.
TABLE 4L-glutamic acid production
Strain L-glutamic acid (g/L) Conversion of sugar acid (g/g,%)
SCgGC5 4.50±0.22 5.86±0.33
SCgGC7 8.53±0.31 12.03±0.0.56
SCgGC8 5.15±0.25 6.70±0.31
SCgGC9 10.53±0.81 15.48±1.28
As shown in the table, P gltA-Ts24 can obviously improve the yield of L-glutamic acid and the sugar acid conversion rate, and on the basis, the GltA C361Y mutant is integrated, so that the yield of L-glutamic acid and the sugar acid conversion rate can be further improved. Therefore, the gltA promoter mutant has a good application prospect in the production of L-glutamic acid and derivatives thereof.
