Abstract
Cytidine 5'-monophosphate (CMP) was widely applied in the food and pharmaceutical industries. Currently, CMP is mainly produced by enzyme catalysis. However, the starting materials for enzyme catalysis were relatively expensive. Therefore, seeking a low-cost production process for CMP was attractive. In this study, Escherichia coli (E. coli) was systematically modified to produce CMP. First, a the cytidine-producing strain was constructed by deleting cdd, rihA, rihB, and rihC. Second, the genes involved in the pyrimidine precursor competing pathway and negative regulation were deleted to increase cyti dine biosynthesis. Third, the deletion of the genes that caused the loss of CMP phosphatase activity led to the accumulation of CMP, and the overexpression of the rate-limiting step genes and feedback inhibition resistance genes greatly increased the yield of CMP. The yield of CMP was further increased to 1013.6 mg/L by blocking CMP phosphorylation. Ultimately, the yield of CMP reached 15.3 g/L in a 50 L bioreactor. Overall, the engineered E. coli with a high yield of CMP was successfully constructed and showed the potential for industrial production.

[PMID: 38647971 PMCID: PMC10992187 DOI: 10.1186/s40643-023-00724-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/14/2023] [Accepted: 12/23/2023] [Indexed: 04/25/2024] Open
Abstract
Cytidine triphosphate (CTP), as a substance involved in the metabolism of phospholipids, proteins and nucleic acids, has precise drug effects and is a direct precursor for the synthesis of drugs such as citicoline. In this study, we established an in vitro six-enzyme cascade system to generate CTP. To avoid thermodynamic bottlenecks, we employed a circuitous and two-stage reaction strategy. Using cytidine as the key substrate, the final product CTP is obtained via the deamination and uridine phosphorylation pathways, relying on the irreversible reaction of cytidine triphosphate synthase to catalyze the amination of uridine triphosphate. Several extremophilic microbial-derived deaminases were screened and characterized, and a suitable cytidine deaminase was selected to match the first-stage reaction conditions. In addition, directed evolution modification of the rate-limiting enzyme CTP synthetase in the pathway yielded a variant that successfully relieved the product feedback inhibition, along with a 1.7-fold increase in activity over the wild type. After optimizing the reaction conditions, we finally carried out the catalytic reaction at an initial cytidine concentration of 20 mM, and the yield of CTP exceeded 82% within 10.0 h.

Abstract
Deoxyadenosine triphosphate (dATP) is an important biochemical molecule. In this paper, the synthesis of dATP from deoxyadenosine monophosphate (dAMP), catalyzed by Saccharomyces cerevisiae, was studied. By adding chemical effectors, an efficient ATP regeneration and coupling system was constructed to achieve efficient synthesis of dATP. Factorial and response surface designs were used to optimize process conditions. Optimal reaction conditions were as follows: dAMP 1.40 g/L, glucose 40.97 g/L, MgCl2·6H2O 4.00 g/L, KCl 2.00 g/L, NaH2PO4 31.20 g/L, yeast 300.00 g/L, ammonium chloride 0.67 g/L, acetaldehyde 11.64 mL/L, pH 7.0, temperature 29.6 °C. Under these conditions, the substrate conversion was 93.80% and the concentration of dATP in the reaction system was 2.10 g/L, which was 63.10% higher than before optimization, and the concentration of product was 4 times higher than before optimization. The effects of glucose, acetaldehyde, and temperature on the accumulation of dATP were analyzed.

Abstract
The pyrimidine metabolic pathway is tightly regulated in microorganisms, allowing limited success in metabolic engineering for the production of pathway-related substances. Here, we constructed a four-enzyme coupled system for the in vitro production of uridine triphosphate (UTP). The enzymes used include nucleoside kinase, uridylate kinase, nucleoside diphosphate kinase, and polyphosphate kinase for energy regeneration. All these enzymes are derived from extremophiles. To increase the total and unit time yield of the product, three enzymes other than polyphosphate kinase were modified separately by multiple protein engineering strategies. A nucleoside kinase variant with increased specific activity from 2.7 U/mg to 36.5 U/mg, a uridylate kinase variant (specific activity of 37.1 U/mg) with a 5.2-fold increase in thermostability, and a nucleoside diphosphate kinase variant with a 2-fold increase in specific activity to over 900 U/mg were obtained, respectively. The reaction conditions of the coupled system were further optimized, and a two-stage method was taken to avoid the problem of enzymatic pH adaptation mismatch. Under optimal conditions, this system can produce more than 65 mM UTP (31.5 g/L) in 3.0 h. The substrate conversion rate exceeded 98% and the maximum UTP productivity reached 40 mM/h.

Abstract
Industrial production of neuroprotective drug CDP-choline is accomplished via permeabilized or lysed cell biotransformation because of the inefficient penetration of substrates into intact cells. We previously proposed a novel one-step living cell method for CDP-choline production by engineered yeast, but obtained low titer and molar yield. This study develops a high-production strain with improved molar yield by metabolic engineering strategies. The selective markers previously integrated into host cell were recovered for facilitating genetic modification, which however resulted a strain with improved CDP-choline titer and molar yield to CMP. Knockout of 5'-NT or CDA in CMP sinking pathway but not APY in CTP sinking pathway further improved CDP-choline titer and molar yield to CMP. However, overexpression of seven enzymes in CTP synthetic pathway showed no positive functions. Finally, optimization of CMP and choline phosphate levels for the optimized recombinant strains achieved a high-level CDP-choline of ~30 g/L, which was enhanced by 400% compared to the previous work. Also, the molar yield of CDP-choline to CMP increased from 40% to 84.7%. The titer and molar yield are comparable to the reported permeabilized or lysed cell based biotransformation methods. It represents a novel and competitive paradigm for the potential industrial production of CDP-choline.

Abstract
Cytidine-5'-diphosphocholine (CDP-choline) is a widely used neuroprotective drug for multiple indications. In industry, CDP-choline is synthesized by a two-step cell culture/permeabilized cell biotransformation method because substrates often do not enter cells in an efficient manner. This study develops a novel one-step living cell fermentation method for CDP-choline production. For this purpose, the feasibility of Pichia pastoris as a chassis was demonstrated by substrate feeding and CDP-choline production. Overexpression of choline phosphate cytidylyltransferase and choline kinase enhanced the choline transformation pathway and improved the biosynthesis of CDP-choline. Furthermore, co-overexpression of ScHnm1, which is a heterologous choline transporter, highly improved the utilization of choline substrates, despite its easy degradation in cells. This strategy increased CDP-choline titer by 55-folds comparing with the wild-type (WT). Overexpression of cytidine-5'-monophosphate (CMP) kinase and CDP kinase in the CMP transformation pathway showed no positive effects. An increase in the ATP production by citrate stimulation or metabolic pathway modification further improved CDP-choline biosynthesis by 120%. Finally, the orthogonal optimization of key substrates and pH was carried out, and the resulting CDP-choline titer (6.0 g/L) at optimum conditions increased 88 times the original titer in the WT. This study provides a new paradigm for CDP-choline bioproduction by living cells.

Abstract
Biocatalysis has become the main approach to produce cytidine diphosphate choline (CDP-choline), which has been applied for treatment of acute craniocerebral injury and consciousness after brain surgery. However, salt accumulates with the production and inhibits enzyme activity, and eventually reduces yield and product accumulation rate. Our work provided a possible solution to this problem by applying a computational designed halophilic choline kinase. The halotolerant CKI (choline kinase) was designed following a unique strategy considering the most variable residue positions on the protein surface among target enzymes from different sources. The basic and neutral surface residues were replaced with acidic ones. This approach was enlightened by features of natural halophilic enzymes. Mutants in the work represented higher catalytic activities and IC50 (inhibit activity by 50%) at high salt concentrations (over 1200 mM). Furthermore, when the mutant was used in fed-batch production, the CDP-choline accumulation rate doubled comparing with process using wild-type CKI at acetate concentration of over 700 mM. The maximum titer was 151 ± 3.2 mM, the productivity was 5.8 ± 0.1 mM·L-1 h-1, and molar yield to CMP and utilization efficiency of energy were 85.3 and 63.5%. The idea of computational design in our work can also be applied to modify other enzymes in industry, and sheds light on alleviating effect of salt accumulation during industrial manufacturing process.

Abstract
Cytidine diphosphate choline (CDP-choline) has been applied for treating acute craniocerebral injury and allowing recovery of consciousness after brain surgery. In this study, an acetate kinase (ACK)/acetyl phosphate system was used to supply ATP and combined with Escherichia coli-overexpressed CMP kinase (CMK), NDP kinase (NDK), choline phosphate cytidylyltransferase (CCT), and choline kinase (CKI) to produce CDP-choline from CMP and choline chloride. Within 1 h, 49 mM CDP-choline was produced, for a molar yield of 89.9 and 68.4 % based on CMP and choline chloride, respectively; the utilization efficiency of energy (UEE) was 79.5 %. Acetyl phosphate, sodium acetate, and CTP inhibited the reaction when the concentration exceeded 18.5, 600, and 30 mM, respectively. This inhibition could be overcome by controlling the rate of acetyl phosphate, CMP addition or using KOH instead of NaOH to regulate the pH in fed-batch transformation. After 24 h, the maximum titer was 124.1 ± 2.7 mM, the productivity was 5.1 ± 0.1 mM l-1 h-1, the molar yield to CMP and choline chloride were 83.8 and 63.7 %, respectively, and the UEE was 58.2 %. This high yield and productivity of CDP-choline through biocatalysis suggest future application at the industrial scale.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Water-forming NADH oxidase can oxidize cytosolic NADH to NAD(+), thus relieving cytosolic NADH accumulation in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Previous studies of the enzyme were conducted under aerobic conditions, as O2 is the recognized electron acceptor of the enzyme. In order to extend its use in industrial production and to study its effect on anaerobes, the effects of overexpression of this oxidase in S. cerevisiae BY4741 and Clostridium acetobutylicum 428 (Cac-428) under anaerobic conditions were evaluated. RESULTS Glucose was exhausted in the NADH oxidase-overexpressing S. cerevisiae strain (Sce-NOX) culture after 26 h, while 43.51 ± 2.18 g/L residual glucose was left in the control strain (Sce-CON) culture at this time point. After 30 h of fermentation, the concentration of ethanol produced by Sce-NOX reached 36.28 ± 1.81 g/L, an increase of 56.38 % as compared to Sce-CON (23.20 ± 1.16 g/L), while the byproduct glycerol was remarkably decreased in the culture of Sce-NOX. In the case of the C. acetobutylicum strain (Cac-NOX) overexpressing NADH oxidase, glucose consumption, cell growth rate, and the production of acetone-butanol-ethanol (ABE) all decreased, while the concentrations of acetic acid and butyric acid increased as compared to the control strain (Cac-CON). During fermentation of Cac-CON and Cac-NOX in 100-mL screw-capped bottles, the concentrations of ABE increased with increasing headspace. Additionally, several alternative electron acceptors in C. acetobutylicum fermentation were tested. Nitroblue tetrazolium and 2,6-dichloroindophenol were lethiferous to both Cac-CON and Cac-NOX. Methylene blue could relieve the effect caused by the overexpression of the NADH oxidase on the metabolic network of C. acetobutylicum strains, while cytochrome c aggravated the effect. CONCLUSIONS The water-forming NADH oxidase could regulate the metabolism of both the S. cerevisiae and the C. acetobutylicum strains in anaerobic conditions. Thus, the recombinant S. cerevisiae strain might be useful in industrial production. Besides the recognized electron acceptor O2, methylene blue and/or the structural analogs may be the alternative elector acceptor of the NADH oxidase in anaerobic conditions.

Abstract
The fermentation medium and conditions for the production of cordycepin were optimized in static culture using single-factor experiments, Placket-Burman design, a central composite design, and response surface methodology. Among seven variables including temperature, pH, and the concentrations of glucose, tryptone, yeast extract, KH₂PO₄, and MgSO₄ · 7H₂O, temperature and the concentrations of yeast extract and tryptone were found to be the important factors that significantly affected cordycepin production. The optimized medium consisted of yeast extract 9.00 g/L and tryptone 17.10 g/L, while the optimized culture conditions consisted of seed age 3 days, with an inoculum size of 10% and incubation temperature of 27.1°C. A maximum cordycepin yield of 7.35 g/L was achieved in a 5-L fermenter under the optimized conditions. Next, cordycepin was partially purified and determined. The resulting product showed 90.54% high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)-ultraviolet (UV) purity. Therefore, cordycepin was applied to a cell viability assay on SH-SY5Y cells and RM-1 cells. Cordycepin can inhibit the proliferation of RM-1 cells with IC₅₀ of 133 µmol/L, but it has no inhibitory effect on SH-SY5Y cells. Supplemental materials are available for this article.
