Hereinafter, the present disclosure will be described in detail through examples. However, the following examples are for illustrative purposes only and it will be apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art that the scope of the present disclosure is not limited by the examples.
EXAMPLE 1
Establishment of Strategy for Producing Acetone
A metabolic pathway as shown in FIG. 1 was designed to prepare a Synechococcus elongatus strain having excellent capability of producing acetone.
EXAMPLE 2
Preparation of Vector
At first, pBbE1c-RFP (Lee T S, Krupa R A, Zhang F, Hajimorad M, Holtz W J, Prasad N, Lee S K, Keasling J D (2011 b) BglBrick vectors and datasheets: a synthetic biology platform for gene expression. J Biol Eng 5:12) and Invitrogen's pSyn_1 were used. Specifically, the lacI, ptrc and RFP portions of pBbE1c-RFP were subjected to PCR and the spectinomycin resistance gene, NSIa, NS1b and pUC replication origin of pSyn_1 were subjected to PCR. Then, a new vector was completed by joining the two PCR products through the OPEC cloning method (Quan J, Tian J (2009) Circular Polymerase Extension Cloning of Complex Gene Libraries and Pathways. PLoS ONE 4 (7): e6441. doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0006441) (CPEC Ref. j5.jbei.org/j5manual/pages/22.html). In order to replace the RFP portion of the vector with GFP, RFP was removed using EcoRI/XhoI restriction enzymes and the GFP portion of another BglBrick vector pBbB5k-GFP (Lee T S, Krupa R A, Zhang F, Hajimorad M, Holtz W J, Prasad N, Lee S K, Keasling J D (2011b) BglBrick vectors and datasheets: a synthetic biology platform for gene expression. J Biol Eng 5:12) was inserted using EcoRI/XhoI restriction enzymes and a ligase. After transforming the vector into E. coli HIT-DH5a (Cat# RH617-J80, RBC Bioscience), the vector was extracted by mini-prep. Because the assembled vector, prepared through PCR, might have been mutated, the entire sequence was investigated through plasmid sequencing. The resulting vector was named as pSe1Bb1s-GFP. Then, after removing the GFP portion using EcoRI-BamHI restriction enzymes, the DNA sequence of an atoB-derived gene or an nphT7-derived gene was inserted. Thus prepared pSe1Bb1s-atoB-derived gene vector and pSe1Bb1s-nphT7-derived gene vector were treated with BamHI-XhoI restriction enzymes and then the DNA sequence of an atoDA-derived gene or a ctfAB-derived gene treated with BglII-XhoI restriction enzymes was inserted. The atoB-derived gene was derived from an E. coli K-12 MG1655 strain, the nphT7-derived gene was derived from a Streptomyces sp. strain, the atoDA-derived gene was derived from an E. coli K-12 MG1655 strain, and the ctfAB-derived gene and the adc-derived gene were derived from a Clostridium acetobutylicum strain. All the genes introduced into the vectors were prepared by GENSCRIPTR.
As a result, four vectors, i.e., a pSe1Bb1s-atoB-atoDA vector, a pSe1Bb1s-atoB-ctfAB vector, a pSe1 Bb1 s-nphT7-atoDA vector and a pSe1Bb1s-nphT7-ctfAB vector, were prepared and finally four acetone-producing vectors were prepared by treating with BamHI-XhoI and then inserting the DNA sequence of an adc gene treated with BglII-XhoI restriction enzymes: a pSe1Bb1s-atoB-atoDA-adc vector (SEQ ID NO 6), a pSe1Bb1s-atoB-ctfAB-adc vector (SEQ ID NO 7), a pSe1Bb1s-nphT7-atoDA-adc vector (SEQ ID NO 8) and a pSe1Bb1s-nphT7-ctfAB-adc vector (SEQ ID NO 9).
EXAMPLE 3
Preparation of Transformed Synechococcus elongatus Strain
The vectors of SEQ ID NOS 6-9 prepared in Example 2 were inserted into the neutral site I of a wild-type Synechococcus elongatus (S. elongatus) PCC7942 strain (PCC7942 (ATCC® 33912TM)) by natural transformation (Golden et al. 1987, Grigorieva and Shestakov 1982). The transformation was confirmed by PCR (5′->3′ primer sequence: forward (SEQ ID NO 10): CTGATTGTTCTAGGCGCTG/reverse (SEQ ID NO 11): TTTGGCAATCTGAAGACCCG).
EXAMPLE 4
Confirmation of Capability of Transformed Synechococcus elongatus Strain of Producing Acetone
The transformed strain obtained in Example 3 was cultured under a carbon dioxide environment and it was investigated whether acetone was produced. Specifically, 100 mL of a BG-11 medium containing a 10 mM MOPS (3-morpholinopropane-1-sulfonic acid) buffer was added to a 100-mL bottle and the acetone-producing strain diluted to an optical density (0.D) of 0.6 initially was added. Then, after adding 10 μg/mL spectinomycin and 10 mM potassium acetate, incubation was performed under a condition of 30° C., 100 μE·m−2·s−1 and continuous supply of 5% CO2. Since day 1 after the start of the incubation, 0.1 mM IPTG was added as an inducer necessary for gene expression. Optical density at 730 nm, acetate production, pH and acetone production were measured until day 5.
The strain transformed with the pSe1Bb1s-atoB-atoDA-adc vector (SEQ ID NO 6) produced 3.6 mg/L of acetone (FIG. 2b). The strain transformed with the pSe1Bb1s-atoB-ctfAB-adc vector (SEQ ID NO 7) produced 134 mg/L of acetone (FIG. 3b). The strain transformed with the pSe1Bb1s-nphT7-atoDA-adc vector (SEQ ID NO 8) produced 152 mg/L of acetone (FIG. 4b), and the strain transformed with the pSe1Bb1s-nphT7-ctfAB-adc vector (SEQ ID NO 9) produced 116 mg/L of acetone (FIG. 5b).
