Unnatural lactam production by reprogrammed modular polyketide synthases in Pseudomonas putida

ABSTRACT: In recent years, type I polyketide synthases (PKSs) has emerged as an enticing platform for the production of novel molecules by reconstituting their modules, expanding the chemical landscape beyond the limitations of conventional metabolic engineering. This study reports a retrobiosynthesis approach to produce five-carbon lactam and its derivatives through the heterologous expression of reprogrammed PKS within Pseudomonas putida KT2440, a widely employed organism for the sustainable commodity chemical production. Combining with host optimization to prevent the catabolism of target product and engineering to facilitate the production of unique acyl-CoA extender units for PKS, this strategy enables mg · l−1 scale microbial production of unnatural lactams, even utilizing plant biomass hydrolysate as a starting material. The resulting novel nylons, derived from the polymerization of these unexplored monomers, hold promise for advancing textile materials, providing sustainable alternatives with potential across various industrial applications.

A polyketide-based biosynthetic platform for diols, amino alcohols and hydroxyacids

Project description:Medium- and branched-chain diols and amino alcohols are important industrial solvents, polymer building blocks, cosmetics and pharmaceutical ingredients, yet biosynthetically challenging to produce. Here, we present a novel approach utilising a modular polyketide synthase (PKS) platform for the efficient production of these compounds. This platform takes advantage of a versatile loading module from the rimocidin PKS and NADPH-dependent terminal thioreductases (TRs), previously untapped in engineered PKSs. Reduction of the terminal aldehyde with specific alcohol dehydrogenases enables production of diols, oxidation enables production of hydroxy acids, and transamination with specific transaminases enables production of various amino alcohols. Furthermore, replacement of the malonyl-coenzyme A (CoA)–specific acyltransferase (AT) in the extension module with methyl- or ethylmalonyl-CoA–specific ATs enables production of branched-chain diols and amino alcohols. In total, we demonstrated production of nine 1,3-diols (including the difficult-to-produce insect repellent and cosmetic ingredient 2-ethyl-1,3-hexanediol), six amino alcohols, and two carboxylic acids using our PKS platform in Streptomyces albus. Finally, tuning production of the PKS acyl-CoA substrates enabled production of high titers of specific diols and amino alcohols (1 g/L diol titer in shake flasks), demonstrating high tunability and efficiency of the platform.

Edible mycelium bioengineered for enhanced nutritional value and sensory appeal using a new synthetic biology toolkit

Project description:Genetic engineering of filamentous fungi has promise for accelerating the transition to a more sustainable food system and enhancing the nutritional value, sensory appeal, and scalability of microbial foods. However, genetic tools and demonstrated use cases for bioengineered food production by edible strains are lacking. Here, we developed a synthetic biology toolkit for Aspergillus oryzae, an edible fungus traditionally used in fermented foods and currently used in protein production and meat alternatives. Our toolkit includes a CRISPR-Cas9 method for genome integration, neutral loci, and new promoters. We use these tools to enhance the elevate levels of the nutraceutical ergothioneine and intracellular heme in the edible biomass. The biomass overproducing heme is red in color and is readily formulated into imitation meat patties with minimal processing. These findings highlight the promise of genetic approaches to enhance fungal meat alternatives and provide useful engineering tools for diverse applications in fungal food production and beyond.

Engineering controllable alteration of malonyl-CoA levels to enhance polyketide production

Project description:Heterologous expression of polyketide synthase (PKS) genes in Escherichia coli has enabled the production of various valuable natural and synthetic products. However, the limited availability of malonyl-CoA (M-CoA) in E. coli remains a significant impediment to high-titer polyketide production. In this study, we address this limitation by disrupting the native M-CoA biosynthetic pathway and introducing an orthogonal pathway comprising a malonate transporter and M-CoA ligase, enabling efficient M-CoA biosynthesis under malonate supplementation. This approach significantly increases M-CoA levels, enhancing fatty acid and polyketide titers while reducing the promiscuous activity of PKSs toward undesired acyl-CoA substrates. Subsequent adaptive laboratory evolution of these strains provides insights into M-CoA regulation and identifies mutations that further boost M-CoA and polyketide production. This strategy improves E. coli as a host for polyketide biosynthesis and advances understanding of M-CoA metabolism in microbial systems.

Restoration of growth and isoprenol production in dual carbon source media by an acetate-sensitive Pseudomonas putida strain

Project description:Lignocellulosic biomass is an abundant and renewable resource that can be leveraged for the production of a diverse array of platform chemicals, including next generation biofuels such as isoprenol. One of the main obstacles for the efficient use of lignocellulosic biomass as a substrate are inhibitors formed during pretreatment that pose challenging for the development of efficient and cost-effective microbial processes. Acetate is a growth-inhibitory organic acid derived from O-acetylated hemicellulose and has high concentrations in many lignocellulosic biomass hydrolysates. In this work, we adapted Pseudomonas putida as an acetate-tolerant chassis for bioproduction with increasing concentrations of both the heterologous product (isioprenol) and acetate. Using this approach, we restored cell growth when acetate is provided as the sole carbon source. Our results show we possibly have rerouted the entry of acetate into a different step for entry into the TCA. We demonstrate the use of rational engineering and ALE to synergistically enable the development of robust production strains for the bioconversion processes with this abundant alternative substrate.

Maximizing Heterologous Expression of Engineered Type I Polyketide Synthases: Investigating Codon Optimization Strategies

Project description:Type I polyketide synthases (T1PKSs) hold an enormous potential as a rational production platform for the biosynthesis of speciality chemicals. However, despite the great progress in this field, the heterologous expression of PKSs remains a major challenge. One of the first measures to improve heterologous gene expression can be codon optimization. Although controversial, choosing the wrong codon optimization strategy can have detrimental effects on protein and product levels. In this study, we analyzed 11 different codon variants of an engineered T1PKS and investigated in a systematic approach their influence on heterologous expression in Corynebacterium glutamicum, Escherichia coli, and Pseudomonas putida. Our best performing codon variants exhibited a minimum 50-fold increase in PKS protein levels, which also enables the production of an unnatural polyketide in each of the hosts. Furthermore, we developed a free online tool (https://basebuddy.lbl.gov) that offers transparent and highly customizable codon optimization with up-to-date codon usage tables. Here, we not only highlight the significance of codon optimization but also establish the groundwork for high-throughput assembly and characterization of PKS pathways in alternative hosts.

Complete integration of carbene-transfer chemistry into biosynthesis

Project description:Biosynthesis is an environmentally friendly and renewable way to synthesize a broad range of natural and some new-to-nature products; however, it lacks many of the reactions and flexibility of synthetic chemistry, an example being carbene mediated reactions. While it was recently shown that these reactions can be imported into the cell, carbene donors and unnatural cofactors needed to be added exogenously to the cells, precluding cost-effective scale-up of the reaction. Here we identified a biosynthetic gene cluster that when expressed in Streptomyces albus will produce the diazo compound azaserine, which we also demonstrated can serve as a carbene donor across a carbon-carbon double bond in another intracellularly produced molecule, styrene, thereby producing a cyclopropanated product. The reaction was catalyzed with P450 mutants harboring a native cofactor with excellent diastereoselectivity and moderate yield. This work establishes a platform for introducing carbene mediated reactions into microbes for bio-manufacture and contributes to sustainable green chemistry.

Development of Corynebacterium glutamicum as a monoterpene production platform

Project description:Monoterpenes are commonly known for their role in the flavors and fragrances industry and are also gaining attention for other uses like insect repellant and as potential renewable fuels for aviation. Corynebacterium glutamicum, a Generally Recognized as Safe microbe, has been a choice organism in industry for the annual million ton-scale bioproduction of amino acids for more than 50 years; however, efforts to produce monoterpenes in C. glutamicum have remained relatively limited. In this study, we report a further expansion of the C. glutamicum biosynthetic repertoire through the development and optimization of a mevalonate-based monoterpene platform. In the course of our initial plasmid design iterations, we demonstrated an increased flux through the mevalonate-based bypass pathway to increase isoprenol production to the highest reported titers to date at nearly 1.5 g/L. These designs also evaluated the effects of backbone, promoter, and GPP synthase homolog source on product titers. Monoterpene production was further improved by disrupting competing pathways for isoprenoid precursor supply and by implementing a biphasic production system to prevent volatilization. With this platform, we achieved 486.3 mg/L (± 54.6 mg/L) of geranoids, 557.3 mg/L of 1,8-cineole (± 12.3 mg/L), and 209.7 mg/L of linalool (±23.9 mg/L). Furthermore, we determined that C. glutamicum oxidizes geraniol through an aldehyde intermediate before asymmetrically reducing geraniol to citronellol.

Ensemble and iterative engineering for maximal bioconversion to the blue pigment, Indigoidine from non-canonical sustainable carbon sources.

Project description:While many heterologous molecules can be produced at trace concentrations via microbial bioconversion processes, maximizing their titers, rates, and yields from lignin-derived carbon streams remains challenging. Strong growth coupling can not only increase titers and yields but also shift the production period from stationary phase to growth phase. These methods however require multi-gene edits for implementation which may be initially perceived as impractical. Here, we evaluated 4,114 potential solutions to pair growth on para-coumarate to indigoidine production and prototype two cutsets in Pseudomonas putida KT2440. The implemented design was enhanced using adaptive lab evolution and the resulting strains were characterized for emergent phenotypes. Using x-ray tomography we revealed increased cell density in this strain. Proteomics identified two upregulated peroxidases that mitigate increased reactive oxygen species formation. Nine additional stepwise modifications informed by model-guided and rational approaches realized a growth coupled strain that produced 7.3 g/L indigoidine at 77% yield in minimal salt media. These ensemble strategies provide a blueprint for producing target molecules at high product titers, rates, and yields.

Proteomic analysis reveals global iron starvation response to metal mixture exposure in a Bacillus cereus strain native to a heavy metal contaminated site

Project description:Globally, multiple heavy metal contamination is an increasingly common problem. As heavy metals have the potential to disrupt microbially-mediated biogeochemical cycling, it is critical to understand their impact on microbial physiology. However, systems-level studies on the effects of a combination of heavy metals on bacteria are lacking. Here, we use a native Bacillus cereus isolate from the subsurface of the Oak Ridge Reservation (ORR; Oak Ridge, TN, USA) subsurface— representing a highly abundant species at the site— to assess the combined impact of eight metal contaminants. Using this metal mixture and individual metals, all at concentrations based on the ORR site geochemistry, we performed growth experiments and proteomic analyses of the B. cereus strain, in combination with targeted MS-based metabolomics and gene expression profiling. We found that the combination of eight metals impacts cell physiology in a manner that could not have been predicted from summing phenotypic responses to the individual metals. Specifically, exposure to the metal mixture elicited global iron starvation responses not observed in any of the individual metal treatments. As nitrate is also a significant contaminant at the ORR site and nitrate and nitrite reductases are iron-containing enzymes, we also examined the effects of the metal mixture on reduction of nitrogen oxides. We found that the metal mixture inhibits the activity of these enzymes through a combination of direct enzymatic damage and post-transcriptional and post-translational regulation. Altogether, these data suggest that metal mixture studies are critical for understanding how multiple rather than individual metals influence microbial processes in the environment.

Lignin engineering in poplar via heterologous expression of dehydroshikimate dehydratase induces distinct transcriptional and metabolic changes in the shikimate and phenylpropanoid pathways

Project description:Modification of lignin in crops via genetic engineering aims at reducing biomass recalcitrance to facilitate conversion processes. These improvements can be achieved via the expression of exogenous enzymes that interfere with biosynthetic pathways responsible for the production of the lignin precursors. In-planta expression of bacterial 3-dehydroshikimate dehydratase (QsuB) reduces lignin and alters its monomeric composition, which enables higher yields of fermentable sugars after cell wall polysaccharide hydrolysis. Understanding how crops respond to such genetic modifications at the transcriptional and metabolic levels is needed to facilitate further improvement and field deployment. In this work, we gathered some fundamental knowledge on lignin-modified QsuB poplar grown in a greenhouse using RNA-seq and metabolomics. The data showed that some changes in gene expression and metabolite abundance occur only in a specific tissue such as the xylem, phloem, or periderm. In the poplar line that exhibits the strongest reduction of lignin, we found that 3% of the transcripts had altered expression levels and ~19% of the detected metabolite ions had different abundances in the xylem from mature stems. Changes affect predominantly the shikimate and phenylpropanoid pathways as well as, secondary cell wall metabolism, and result in significant accumulation of hydroxybenzoates that derive from protocatechuate and salicylate.
