Embodiment 1

[0043] Example 1 Construction of AneR fusion expression vector

[0044] (1) Experimental method:

[0045]Firstly, an artificial RNA module AneR with a full length of 505 bp was synthesized by artificial chemical synthesis, and its expression was controlled by an artificial promoter element with a size of 360 bp. Then the artificial RNA module AneR and the expression vector pFLAα3 were subjected to Bam HI and Hind III double enzymes respectively. Then, T4 DNA ligase was used to insert the recovered AneR fragment into the multi-cloning site of pFLAα3. Finally, the AneR fusion expression vector pAneR was obtained by PCR sequencing verification. The expression vectors were transferred into three different nitrogen-fixing microbial chassis (P. stutzeri, K. pneumoniae, and A. vinelandii) by tri-philic binding or electrical stimulation. , and obtained three recombinant nitrogen-fixing engineering strains.

Abstract

The invention relates to an artificial non-coding RNA module created by a synthetic biology method and its application in the construction of an artificial nitrogen fixation system. The RNA module enhances the post-transcriptional stability of the nifHDK mRNA by interacting with the nitrogenase encoding gene nifHDK mRNA, thereby improving the nitrogen fixation ability of the chassis microorganisms. The invention constructs the fusion expression vector of the artificial RNA module, and transfers it into different chassis nitrogen-fixing microorganisms. Experiments have confirmed that under nitrogen fixation conditions, the artificial RNA module of the present invention can significantly improve the nitrogenase activity of recombinant engineered strains.

Description

Technical field: [0001] The invention relates to the field of biotechnology, in particular to an artificial non-coding RNA module for enhancing the nitrogen-fixing ability of microorganisms and its application in nitrogen-fixing synthetic biology. Background technique: [0002] Biological nitrogen fixation is a unique physiological function of nitrogen-fixing microorganisms. This function is carried out under the catalysis of nitrogenase and is greatly affected by intracellular energy supply and environmental stress factors. In order to adapt to environmental changes, nitrogen-fixing microorganisms have formed a complex regulatory system during evolution. Nitrogen-fixing cells need to express and maintain sufficient nitrogen-fixing gene (nif) mRNAs to ensure efficient nitrogenase activity. [0003] The natural nitrogen fixation system is greatly affected by the environment, resulting in low nitrogen fixation efficiency, which greatly limits its application in agricultural pr...
