Abstract

Recombinant collagen is a biopolymer with broad potential applications in various fields, such as biomedicine and tissue engineering.The triple-helix structure of collagen imparts unique biological functions and biocompatibilit but also increases the complexity of its expression in microbial systems.In this study, bacterial collagen V-B was used as a model protein to promote the expression of recombinant collagen in Corynebacterium glutamicum through optimization of expression elements.Firstly, the most efficient promoter tac-R0 was obtained through promoter screening and fermentation duration optimization.Subsequently, the RBS calculator was used to design a mutation library for ribosome binding sites (RBS) and aligned spacing (AS).The RBS and AS with the highest strength were identified, which increased the yield of V-B to 514 mg/L.Furthermore, through the tandem combination of multi-gene expression cassettes, the final yield of V-B increased by 8.4-fold compared to the initial level, reaching 697 mg/L.This study lays a foundation for the industrial production of recombinant collagen.
