摘要

逆己二酸降解途径因可用于己二酸合成受到了广泛的关注,但因其代谢途径较长、途径基因表达不平衡,难以对其异源的表达进行调控。因此,该研究将逆己二酸降解途径模块化,更换各模块的启动子以实现该途径在底盘细胞中表达水平的调控,从而提高己二酸产量。利用己二酸生物传感器开展高通量筛选验证,获得最优组合模块菌株己二酸产量达到120.66 mg/L,提高至对照的8.35倍。通过理性分析确定了合成途径关键酶,最终实现了异源基因的有效表达调控。在此基础上,开展发酵条件优化,己二酸产量达到240.49 mg/L,较对照提高了16.65倍。该研究通过模块化改造,协调平衡异源途径基因表达,为己二酸生物合成研究提供了新思路。

Abstract

Employing the reverse adipate degradation pathway to synthesize adipic acid draws significant attention, but it's difficult to modify this metabolic pathway because of the long length and the imbalance heterologous expression of the pathway genes. To further increase the production of adipic acid, this study therefore modularized the reverse adipate degradation pathway, substituting the promoters of each module in order to regulate the expression profile of the pathway genes. By utilizing an adipic acid biosensor-based high-throughput screening method, the best combination resulted in a titer of 120.66 mg/L, which achieved an 8.35-fold improvement comparing to the control group. Moreover, the key enzymes of the pathway were confirmed through rational analysis and an efficiently regulation of the heterologous-expressed genes was eventually realized. Based on this, fermentation optimization was conducted and a titer of 240.49 mg/L adipic acid was eventually obtained, which was 16.67-fold higher than that of the control group. This study provided a new thought on the biosynthesis of adipic acid by modulating the pathway and regulating the gene expression profile.
