粘质沙雷氏菌能在30 ℃ 高效合成灵菌红素,但在37 ℃甚至更高温度则丧失合成能力。研究表明,在37 ℃甚至更高温度下,粘质沙雷氏菌中灵菌红素合成关键酶氧甲基转移酶(O-methyltransferase,PigF)的表达量显著下降。因此,通过人工在pigF基因3′端添加6条不同的poly(A/T)尾来提高pigF基因mRNA稳定性,并观察其对粘质沙雷氏菌中PigF表达量及灵菌红素合成的影响。结果发现,添加“AAAAAA”可以保护mRNA免受降解,从而使得pigF转录水平提高71%。其次,添加“AAAAAA”后,PigF比酶活力提高了41.8%。最后通过摇瓶发酵,实验结果表明,与30 ℃培养的原始菌株相比,工程改造的JNB5-1/pigFFP菌株的灵菌红素产量达到6.21 g/L,提高了15.9%。该研究表明,通过引入poly(A/T)尾提高了PigF的表达量,进而提高了粘质沙雷氏菌合成灵菌红素的能力。
