Metabolic Engineering of Escherichia coli for High-Level Production of l-Phenylalanine.
Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry 2024 May 4
l-Phenylalanine (l-Phe) is widely used in the food and pharmaceutical industries. However, the biosynthesis of l-Phe using Escherichia coli remains challenging due to its lower tolerance to high concentration of l-Phe. In this study, to efficiently synthesize l-Phe, the l-Phe biosynthetic pathway was reconstructed by expressing the heterologous genes aroK1 , aroL1 , and pheA1 , along with the native genes aroA , aroC , and tyrB in the shikimate-producing strain E. coli SA09, resulting in the engineered strain E. coli PHE03. Subsequently, adaptive evolution was conducted on E. coli PHE03 to enhance its tolerance to high concentrations of l-Phe, resulting in the strain E. coli PHE04, which reduced the cell mortality to 36.2% after 48 h of fermentation. To elucidate the potential mechanisms, transcriptional profiling was conducted, revealing MarA, a DNA-binding transcriptional dual regulator, as playing a crucial role in enhancing cell membrane integrity and fluidity for improving cell tolerance to high concentrations of l-Phe. Finally, the titer, yield, and productivity of l-Phe with E. coli PHE05 overexpressing marA were increased to 80.48 g/L, 0.27 g/g glucose, and 1.68 g/L/h in a 5-L fed-batch fermentation, respectively.
