Multi-Enzymatic Cascade One-Pot Biosynthesis of 3'-Sialyllactose Using Engineered Escherichia coli.

ABSTRACT: Among the human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs), one of the most abundant oligosaccharides and has great benefits for human health is 3'-sialyllactose (3'-SL). Given its important physiological functions and the lack of cost-effective production processes, we constructed an in vitro multi-enzymatic cofactor recycling system for the biosynthesis of 3'-SL from a low-cost substrate. First, we constructed the biosynthetic pathway and increased the solubility of cytidine monophosphate kinase (CMK) with chaperones. We subsequently identified that ?-galactosidase (lacZ) affects the yield of 3'-SL, and hence with the lacZ gene knocked out, a 3.3-fold increase in the production of 3'-SL was observed. Further, temperature, pH, polyphosphate concentration, and concentration of divalent metal ions for 3'-SL production were optimized. Finally, an efficient biotransformation system was established under the optimized conditions. The maximum production of 3'-SL reached 38.7 mM, and a molar yield of 97.1% from N-acetylneuraminic acid (NeuAc, sialic acid, SA) was obtained. The results demonstrate that the multi-enzymatic cascade biosynthetic pathway with cofactor regeneration holds promise as an industrial strategy for producing 3'-SL.

Project description:Glycosylation of proteins is a key function of the biosynthetic-secretory pathway in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and Golgi apparatus. Glycosylated proteins play a crucial role in cell trafficking and signaling, cell-cell adhesion, blood-group antigenicity, and immune response. In addition, the glycosylation of proteins is an important parameter in the optimization of many glycoprotein-based drugs such as monoclonal antibodies. In vitro glycoengineering of proteins requires glycosyltransferases as well as expensive nucleotide sugars. Here, we present a designed pathway consisting of five enzymes, glucokinase (Glk), phosphomannomutase (ManB), mannose-1-phosphate-guanyltransferase (ManC), inorganic pyrophosphatase (PmPpA), and 1-domain polyphosphate kinase 2 (1D-Ppk2) expressed in E. coli for the cell-free production and regeneration of GDP-mannose from mannose and polyphosphate with catalytic amounts of GDP and ADP. It was shown that GDP-mannose is produced at various conditions, that is pH 7-8, temperature 25-35°C and co-factor concentrations of 5-20?mM MgCl2 . The maximum reaction rate of GDP-mannose achieved was 2.7??M/min at 30°C and 10?mM MgCl2 producing 566?nmol GDP-mannose after a reaction time of 240?min. With respect to the initial GDP concentration (0.8?mM) this is equivalent to a yield of 71%. Additionally, the cascade was coupled to purified, transmembrane-deleted Alg1 (ALG1?TM), the first mannosyltransferase in the ER-associated lipid-linked oligosaccharide (LLO) assembly. Thereby, in a one-pot reaction, phytanyl-PP-(GlcNAc)2 -Man1 was produced with efficient nucleotide sugar regeneration for the first time. Phytanyl-PP-(GlcNAc)2 -Man1 can serve as a substrate for the synthesis of LLO for the cell-free in vitro glycosylation of proteins. A high-performance anion exchange chromatography method with UV and conductivity detection (HPAEC-UV/CD) assay was optimized and validated to determine the enzyme kinetics. The established kinetic model enabled the optimization of the GDP-mannose regenerating cascade and can further be used to study coupling of the GDP-mannose cascade with glycosyltransferases. Overall, the study envisages a first step towards the development of a platform for the cell-free production of LLOs as precursors for in vitro glycoengineering of proteins.
