产1,3-丙二醇新型重组大肠杆菌的构建

利用PCR技术从大肠杆菌(Escherichia coli )中扩增出1.16 kb的编码1,3-丙二醇氧化还原酶同工酶的基因yqhD，将其连接到表达载体pEtac，得到重组载体pEtac-yqhD，重组载体在大肠杆菌JM109中得到高效表达。SDS_PAGE分析显示融合表达产物的分子量均为43 kD，同核酸序列测定所推导的值相符。对含有yqh-D的基因工程菌进行表达研究表明：37 ℃，以1.0 mmol /L IPTG诱导4 h，1,3-丙二醇氧化还原酶同工酶的酶活力达到120 u/mg蛋白，而对照菌株的酶活力为0.5 u/mg蛋白。再将含甘油脱水酶基因dhaB和含1,3-丙二醇氧化还原酶同工酶基因yqhD的重组质粒共转化大肠杆菌JM109得到重组大肠杆菌JM109（pUCtac-dhaB, pEtac-yqhD），该菌株在好氧条件下，以1.0mmol/L IPTG诱导可将50 g/L甘油转化为38.0 g/L 1,3-丙二醇。首次发现1,3-丙二醇氧化还原酶同工酶在好氧条件下表现出较高的活性。

Construction of Novel Recombinant Escherichia coli Capable of Producing 1,3-propanediol

The 1,3-propanediol oxidoreductase isoenzyme encoding gene (yqhD) from E. coli was amplified by PCR. yqhD was inserted in pEtac to yield the recombinant expression vector pEtac-yqhD. Over-expression of yqhD in E. coli JM109 was achieved with pEtac-yqhD. SDS-PAGE analysis showed an over-expressed recombinant product at about 43 kD, consistent with the molecular weight predicted from gene sequence. Compared with E. coli JM109 (pEtac), the 1,3-propanediol oxidoreductase isoenzyme activity of the recombinant E. coli (pEtac-yqhD) reached 120 u/mg protein under the induction of 1.0 mmol/L IPTG at 37 degrees C for 4 hours; at similar conditions, enzyme activity of E. coli JM109 (pEtac) was only 0.5 u/mg protein. The recombinant E. coli JM109 (pUCtac-dhaB, pEtac-yqhD) was constructed. After induction with 1.0 mmol/L IPTG, the recombinant strain could transform 50 g/L glycerol to 38 g/L 1,3-propanediol under aerobic conditions. This work demonstrated firstly that the 1,3-propanediol oxidoreductase isoenzyme could show high activity under aerobic conditions.
