Genomic Features and Construction of Streamlined Genome Chassis of Nisin Z Producer Lactococcus lactis N8.

ABSTRACT: Lactococcus lactis is a commonly used fermenting bacteria in cheese, beverages and meat products. Due to the lack of simplified chassis strains, it has not been widely used in the fields of synthetic biology. Thus, the construction of lactic acid bacteria chassis strains becomes more and more important. In this study, we performed whole genome sequencing, annotation and analysis of L. lactis N8. Based on the genome analysis, we found that L. lactis N8 contains two large plasmids, and the function prediction of the plasmids shows that some regions are related to carbohydrate transport/metabolism, multi-stress resistance and amino acid uptake. L. lactis N8 contains a total of seven prophage-related fragments and twelve genomic islands. A gene cluster encoding a hybrid NRPS-PKS system that was found in L. lactis N8 reveals that the strain has the potential to synthesize novel secondary metabolites. Furthermore, we have constructed a simplified genome chassis of L. lactis N8 and achieved the largest amount of deletion of L. lactis so far. Taken together, the present study offers further insights into the function and potential role of L. lactis N8 as a model strain of lactic acid bacteria and lays the foundation for its application in the field of synthetic biology.

Higher nisin yield is reached with glutathione and pyruvate compared with heme in Lactococcus lactis N8.

Project description:There are different studies that aim to enhance the production of nisin by Lactococcus lactis since its chemical synthesis is not possible. In this study, glutathione (GSH) and pyruvate, which are known to reduce the oxidative stress of cells, have been shown to trigger the production of nisin at both transcriptional and translational levels in L. lactis cells grown under aerobic condition. Presence of GSH and pyruvate caused more nisin yield than the heme-supplemented medium. Moreover, the expression of genes that encode stress-related enzymes were apparently upregulated in the presence of GSH and pyruvate. It can be concluded that GSH and pyruvate contribute to the defense system of L. lactis cells and so that higher biomass was obtained which in turn enhance nisin production. Antioxidant effect of GSH and pyruvate was known; however, their stimulating effect on nisin production was shown for the first time in this study.

Genome-scale exploration of transcriptional regulation in the nisin Z producer Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis IO-1.

Project description:Transcription is of the most crucial steps of gene expression in bacteria, whose regulation guarantees the bacteria's ability to adapt to varying environmental conditions. Discovering the molecular basis and genomic principles of the transcriptional regulation is thus one of the most important tasks in cellular and molecular biology. Here, a comprehensive phylogenetic footprinting framework was implemented to predict maximal regulons of Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis IO-1, a lactic acid bacterium known for its high potentials in nisin Z production as well as efficient xylose consumption which have made it a promising biotechnological strain. A total set of 321 regulons covering more than 90% of all the bacterium's operons have been elucidated and validated according to available data. Multiple novel biologically-relevant members were introduced amongst which arsC, mtlA and mtl operon for BusR, MtlR and XylR regulons can be named, respectively. Moreover, the effect of riboflavin on nisin biosynthesis was assessed in vitro and a negative correlation was observed. It is believed that understandings from such networks not only can be useful for studying transcriptional regulatory potentials of the target organism but also can be implemented in biotechnology to rationally design favorable production conditions.

Bioengineering of a Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis strain enhances nisin production and bioactivity.

Project description:Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis is a food bacterium that has been utilized for decades in food fermentation and the development of high-value industrial goods. Among these, nisin, which is produced by several strains of L. lactis subsp. lactis, plays a crucial role as a food bio-preservative. The gene expression for nisin synthesis was evaluated using qPCR analysis. Additionally, a series of re-transformations of the strain introducing multiple copies of the nisA and nisRK genes related to nisin production were developed. The simultaneous expression of nisA and nisZ genes was used to potentiate the effective inhibition of foodborne pathogens. Furthermore, qPCR analysis indicated that the nisA and nisRK genes were expressed at low levels in wild-type L. lactis subsp. lactis. After several re-transformations of the strain with the nisA and nisRK genes, a high expression of these genes was obtained, contributing to improved nisin production. Also, co-expression of the nisA and nisZ genes resulted in extremely effective antibacterial action. Hence, this study would provide an approach to enhancing nisin production during industrial processes and antimicrobial activity.

Nisin inducible production of listeriolysin O in Lactococcus lactis NZ9000.

Project description:BACKGROUND: Listeria monocytogenes is a well-characterized food-borne pathogen that infects pregnant women and immunocompromised individuals. Listeriolysin O (LLO) is the major virulence factor of the pathogen and is often used as a diagnostic marker for detection of L. monocytogenes. In addition, LLO represents a potent antigen driving T cell-mediated immunity during infection. In the present work, Lactococcus lactis NZ9000 was used as an expression host to hyper-produce LLO under inducible conditions using the NICE (NIsin Controlled Expression) system. We created a modified pNZ8048 vector encoding a six-His-tagged LLO downstream of the strong inducible PnisA promoter. RESULTS: The constructed vector (pNZPnisA:CYTO-LLO) was expressed in L. lactis NZ9000 and was best induced at mid-log phase with 0.2% v/v nisin for 4 h statically at 30 degrees C. Purification of the His-tagged LLO was accomplished by Ni-NTA affinity chromatography and functionality was confirmed through haemolytic assays. Total LLO yield (measured as total protein content) was 4.43-5.9 mg per litre culture and the haemolytic activity was still detectable after 8 months of storage at 4 degrees C. CONCLUSION: The LLO production method described in this work provides an approach to efficient LLO production in the Gram-positive Lactococcus bacterium to yield a significant source of the protein for research and diagnostic applications. Expression of LLO in L. lactis has a number of benefits over E. coli which may facilitate both in vivo and in vitro applications of this system.

Enhance nisin yield via improving acid-tolerant capability of Lactococcus lactis F44.

Project description:Traditionally, nisin was produced industrially by using Lactococcus lactis in the neutral fermentation process. However, nisin showed higher activity in the acidic environment. How to balance the pH value for bacterial normal growth and nisin activity might be the key problem. In this study, 17 acid-tolerant genes and 6 lactic acid synthetic genes were introduced in L. lactis F44, respectively. Comparing to the 2810 IU/mL nisin yield of the original strain F44, the nisin titer of the engineered strains over-expressing hdeAB, ldh and murG, increased to 3850, 3979 and 4377 IU/mL, respectively. These engineered strains showed more stable intracellular pH value during the fermentation process. Improvement of lactate production could partly provide the extra energy for the expression of acid tolerance genes during growth. Co-overexpression of hdeAB, murG, and ldh(Z) in strain F44 resulted in the nisin titer of 4913 IU/mL. The engineered strain (ABGL) could grow on plates with pH 4.2, comparing to the surviving pH 4.6 of strain F44. The fed-batch fermentation showed nisin titer of the co-expression L. lactis strain could reach 5563 IU/mL with lower pH condition and longer cultivation time. This work provides a novel strategy of constructing robust strains for use in industry process.

Regulation of nisin biosynthesis and immunity in Lactococcus lactis 6F3.

Project description:The biosynthetic genes of the nisin-producing strain Lactococcus lactis 6F3 are organized in an operon-like structure starting with the structural gene nisA followed by the genes nisB, nisT, and nisC, which are probably involved in chemical modification and secretion of the prepeptide (G. Engelke, Z. Gutowski-Eckel, M. Hammelmann, and K.-D. Entian, Appl. Environ. Microbiol. 58:3730-3743, 1992). Subcloning of an adjacent 5-kb downstream region revealed additional genes involved in nisin biosynthesis. The gene nisI, which encodes a lipoprotein, causes increased immunity after its transformation into nisin-sensitive L. lactis MG1614. It is followed by the gene nisP, coding for a subtilisin-like serine protease possibly involved in processing of the secreted leader peptide. Adjacent to the 3' end of nisP the genes nisR and nisK were identified, coding for a regulatory protein and a histidine kinase, showing marked similarities to members of the OmpR/EnvZ-like subgroup of two-component regulatory systems. The deduced amino acid sequences of nisR and nisK exhibit marked similarities to SpaR and SpaK, which were recently identified as the response regulator and the corresponding histidine kinase of subtilin biosynthesis. By using antibodies directed against the nisin prepeptide and the NisB protein, respectively, we could show that nisin biosynthesis is regulated by the expression of its structural and biosynthetic genes. Prenisin expression starts in the exponential growth phase and precedes that of the NisB protein by approximately 30 min. Both proteins are expressed to a maximum in the stationary growth phase.

Distribution and evolution of nisin-sucrose elements in Lactococcus lactis.

Project description:The distribution, architecture, and conjugal capacity of nisin-sucrose elements in wild-type Lactococcus lactis strains were studied. Element architecture was analyzed with the aid of hybridizations to different probes derived from the nisin-sucrose transposon Tn5276 of L. lactis NIZO R5, including its left and right ends, the nisA gene, and IS1068 (previously designated iso-IS904), located between the left end and the nisA gene. Three classes of nisin-sucrose elements could be distinguished in the 13 strains investigated. Classes I and II consist of conjugative transposons containing a nisA gene and a nisZ gene, respectively. Representative conjugative transposons of these classes include Tn5276 (class I) from L. lactis NIZO R5 and Tn5278 (class II) from L. lactis ILC11. The class II transposon found in L. lactis NCK400 and probably all class II elements are devoid of IS1068-like elements, which eliminates the involvement of an iso-IS1068 element in conjugative transposition. Members of class III contain a nisZ gene, are nonconjugative, and do not contain sequences similar to the left end of Tn5276 at the appropriate position. The class III element from L. lactis NIZO 22186 was found to contain an iso-IS1068 element, termed IS1069, at a position corresponding to that of IS1068 in Tn5276 but in the inverted orientation. The results suggest that an iso-IS1068-mediated rearrangement is responsible for the dislocation of the transposon's left end in this strain. A model for the evolution of nisin-sucrose elements is proposed, and the practical implications for transferring nisin A or nisin Z production and immunity are discussed.

Heterologous expression of the Lactococcus lactis bacteriocin, nisin, in a dairy Enterococcus strain.

Project description:The bacteriocin nisin is produced only by some strains of Lactococcus lactis, and to date production in other lactic acid bacteria has not been achieved. Enterococcus sp. strain N12beta is a nisin-immune transconjugant obtained from a nisin-producing donor (L. lactis ATCC 11454) and a dairy recipient (Enterococcus sp. strain S12beta), but it does not produce nisin. In this study, using PCR amplification, we confirmed that the whole nisin operon is likely present in Enterococcus sp. strain N12beta. Northern hybridization of total RNA from strain N12beta with a nisA probe and the results of reverse transcriptase PCR showed the lack of nisA transcription in this strain. However, nisA transcription was partially restored in strain N12beta upon growth in the presence of exogenous nisin, and the nisA transcription signal was intensified after an increase in the external nisin level. Furthermore, bioassays showed that active nisin was produced in a dose-dependent fashion by strain N12beta following induction by exogenous nisin. These results indicated that expression of the nisin genes in Enterococcus sp. strain N12beta depended on autoinduction via signal transduction. However, the amount of external inducing signal required was significantly greater than the amount needed for autoinduction in L. lactis.
