Corynebacterium Cell Factory Design and Culture Process Optimization for Muconic Acid Biosynthesis.

ABSTRACT: Muconic acid (MA) is a valuable compound for adipic acid production, which is a precursor for the synthesis of various polymers such as plastics, coatings, and nylons. Although MA biosynthesis has been previously reported in several bacteria, the engineered strains were not satisfactory owing to low MA titers. Here, we generated an engineered Corynebacterium cell factory to produce a high titer of MA through 3-dehydroshikimate (DHS) conversion to MA, with heterologous expression of foreign protocatechuate (PCA) decarboxylase genes. To accumulate key intermediates in the MA biosynthetic pathway, aroE (shikimate dehydrogenase gene), pcaG/H (PCA dioxygenase alpha/beta subunit genes) and catB (chloromuconate cycloisomerase gene) were disrupted. To accomplish the conversion of PCA to catechol (CA), a step that is absent in Corynebacterium, a codon-optimized heterologous PCA decarboxylase gene was expressed as a single operon under the strong promoter in a aroE-pcaG/H-catB triple knock-out Corynebacterium strain. This redesigned Corynebacterium, grown in an optimized medium, produced about 38?g/L MA and 54?g/L MA in 7-L and 50-L fed-batch fermentations, respectively. These results show highest levels of MA production demonstrated in Corynebacterium, suggesting that the rational cell factory design of MA biosynthesis could be an alternative way to complement petrochemical-based chemical processes.

Project description:Over the past decade, global interest in the development of therapeutic monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) has risen rapidly. As therapeutic agents, antibodies have shown marked efficacy in combatting a range of cancers and immune diseases with high target specificity and low toxicity (Carla Lucia et al. in PLoS ONE 6:e24071, 2011; Donaghy in MAbs 8:659-671, 2016; Nasiri et al. in J Cell Physiol 9:6441-6457, 2018; Teo et al. in Cancer Immunol Immunother 61:2295-2309, 2012). Recent advances in cell culture technology, such as high-throughput clone screening, have facilitated antibody production at concentrations exceeding 10 g/L (Chen et al. in BMC Immunol 19:35, 2018; Huang et al. in Biotechnol Prog 26:1400-1410, 2010; Lu et al. in Biotechnol Bioeng 110:191-205, 2013; Singh et al. in Biotechnol Bioeng 113:698-716, 2016). As titers have improved, the industry has begun to focus on the adjustment of target antibody quality profiles to improve efficacy. Cell lines, culture media, and culture conditions impact protein quality (Van Beers and Bardor in Biotechnol J 7:1473-1484, 2012). Optimization of critical quality attributes (CQAs), such as charge variants, can be achieved through bioprocess development and is the preferred approach as changes to the cell line or growth media used is considered unfavorable by regulatory bodies (Gawlitzek et al. in Biotechnol Bioeng 103:1164-1175, 2009; Jordan et al. in Cytotechnology 65:31-40, 2013; Pan et al. in Cytotechnology 69:39-56, 2016). In this study, the effect of process control and ion supplementation on charge variants of mAbs produced by Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells was investigated. Results of this study demonstrated that the concentration of Zn2+, duration of culturing, and temperature affect charge variants of a given mAb. Under the optimum conditions of 3L bioreactors, the most significant was that Zn2 + and temperature shift could further improve the quality of antibody. The main peak increased by 12%, and the acid peak decreased by 16%. At the same time, there was no significant loss of titer. This study provided supporting evidence for methods to improve charge variants arising during mAb production.
