Problems solved by technology

[0007] However, the ability of these microorganisms to produce polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) is limited. At present, it is still difficult to realize industrial production and achieve the purpose of replacing polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) from animal and plant sources. The ability of unsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) to provide substantial theoretical support for improving the biosynthetic ability of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs)

Embodiment 1

[0052] Example 1: Screening of genes encoding β-isopropylmalate dehydrogenase

[0053] Specific steps are as follows:

[0054] According to the sequence of the β-isopropylmalate dehydrogenase gene whose function has been identified in NCBI as a template, perform BLAST comparison in the gene bank of the sequenced M.alpinaATCC 32222 strain to obtain an alternative target gene; then The candidate genes were compared and screened for the second time in the NCBI library, and the final target gene was named MaLeuB (nucleotide sequence as shown in SEQ ID No.2), and the corresponding protein was named MaLeuB (amino acid sequence as shown in SEQ ID No. 2). shown in No.1).

[0055] The full length of cDNA corresponding to MaLeuB is 1146bp, encoding 381 amino acids. In order to further judge whether the screened MaLeuB belongs to isopropylmalate dehydrogenase, amino acid homology and conservative structure analysis were carried out between it and β-isopropylmalate dehydrogenase whose f...

[0057] Example 2: Cloning of MaLeuB

[0058] Specific steps are as follows:

[0059] The total RNA of Mortierella alpina (Mortierella alpina) ATCC 32222 was extracted using the Trizol method, and cDNA was obtained by reverse transcription according to the instructions of the Takara reverse transcription kit. The reaction amplifies MaLeuB, and the primers used to amplify MaLeuB are listed in Table 1.

[0060] The PCR instrument used is BIO-RAD T100 Thermal Cycler, using KOD plus high-fidelity DNA polymerase, the reaction system is 50 μL, and the content of the system is carried out according to the instructions of the DNA polymerase; the reaction process is as follows: pre-denaturation at 95°C for 5 minutes, then denaturation at 95°C 30s, annealing at 55°C for 30s, extension at 68°C for 1.5min, repeat the above three steps 30 times, then fully extend at 68°C for 5min, and finally drop to 12°C for 10min and stop.

[0061] After the reaction was completed, the amplified product...

Abstract

The invention discloses beta-isopropylmalate dehydrogenase and application of the beta-isopropylmalate dehydrogenase in lipid synthesis, and belongs to the technical fields of gene engineering and microbial engineering. An amino acid sequence of the beta-isopropylmalate dehydrogenase is shown in SEQ ID No. 1, and the beta-isopropylmalate dehydrogenase has a function of promoting microorganism to produce fatty acids. Recombinant mortierella alpina containing the beta-isopropylmalate dehydrogenase is subjected to shake cultivation for 7 d, so that the fatty acid content in the mortierella alpinacontaining the beta-isopropylmalate dehydrogenase can reach 46.4% of dry cell weight, and is 20.2% higher than that of mortierella alpina without the beta-isopropylmalate dehydrogenase. According tothe beta-isopropylmalate dehydrogenase, through gene engineering, the fatty acid production ability of the mortierella alpine and other oil producing microorganisms is further improved, and solid theoretical support for improving the fatty acid biosynthesis ability is provided.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a beta-isopropylmalate dehydrogenase and its application in lipid synthesis, belonging to the technical fields of genetic engineering and microbial engineering. Background technique [0002] Lipid is one of the important nutrients needed by organisms, which can provide raw materials and energy for various life activities of organisms. Fatty acids are one of the components of lipids, and can be divided into saturated fatty acids (Saturated fatty acids, SFA), monounsaturated fatty acids (Monounsaturated fatty acids, MUFA) and polyunsaturated fatty acids ( Polyunsaturated fatty acids, PUFA). [0003] Among them, polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) refer to straight-chain fatty acids containing two or more double bonds and a carbon chain length of 18 to 22 carbon atoms, mainly including α-linolenic acid (ALA) of the omega-3 series , eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and omega-6 series of linoleic acid (LA), ...
