Abstract

Objective: To explore the RecET-Cre/loxP system for chromosomal replacement of promoter and its application on enhancement L-leucine production in Corynebacterium glutamicum (C. glutamicum) ATCC14067.

Results: The RecET-Cre/loxP system was used to achieve the chromosomal replacement of promoter in C. glutamicum ATCC14067 to adjust the metabolic flux involving the L-leucine synthetic pathway. First, leuA_13032 from C. glutamicum ATCC13032 which carried two mutations was overexpressed to release enzyme feedback inhibition. Then, comparing different mutations in ilvBNC gene clusters, the results indicated that ilvBNC_CP was most effective to enhance the metabolic flux of pyruvate towards L-leucine synthesis. The promoters of pck, odx and pyk2 were overexpressed under the strong promoter Peftu or Psod to improve the supply of pyruvate. Besides, the promoter PilvBNC was employed to dynamically control the transcription level of icd due to its attenuation mechanism by responding to the concentration of L-leucine. The final engineered strain produced 14.05 g L-leucine/L in flask cultivation.

Conclusion: The RecET-Cre/loxP system is effective for gene manipulation in C. glutamicum ATCC14067. Besides, the results demonstrate the potential of C. glutamicum ATCC14067 for L-leucine production and provide new targets and strategies for strain development.
