The carbon atoms in the center position of C-2 and C-7 of uroprophyrinogen Ⅲ (urogen Ⅲ) can be methylated to produce precorrin-2 by S-adenosy-L-methionine uroprophyrinogen Ⅲ methyltransferase (SUMT),which is the key enzyme of vitamin B12 (VB12) biosynthetic pathway.In this study,RCcobA1 and RCcobA2 from Rhodobacter capsulatus and PDcobA from Pseudomonas denitrificans were cloned and over-expressed in VB12-producing strains P.denitrificans.The resulting strains PD1/2/3/4 were fermented in shake flasks.The results showed that the VB12 production of PD2 (overexpressing PDcobA) increased 16.48%,the VB12 production of PD3 (overexpressing RCcobA1) and PD4 (overexpressing RCcobA2) increased 10.2% and 31.86% when compared with the control strain (PD1),respectively.According to the results of shaking flasks fermentation,the fermentation of the strains PD1 and PD4 in 5 L fermentor was conducted.The output of VB12 of PD4 was 144.5 mg/L,which increased by 29.83% comparing to that of PD1 (111.3 mg/L).It revealed that the overexpression of cobA2,to a certain extent,could release the bottlenecks of VB12 synthetic pathway and increase the production of VB12.%S-腺苷-L-甲硫氨酸依赖型尿卟啉原Ⅲ转甲基酶(S-adenosy-L-methionine uroprophyrinogen Ⅲ methyltransferase,SUMT)催化尿卟啉原Ⅲ(uroprophyrinogen Ⅲ,urogen Ⅲ)中心碳原子C-2和C-7甲基化生成前咕啉-2,是维生素B12生物合成途径中的一步关键酶.本文分别克隆了荚膜红细菌来源的RCcobA1,RCcobA2和脱氮假单胞菌来源的PDcobA,并在VB12生产菌株脱氮假单胞菌中过表达和发酵.通过对三株重组菌维生素B12发酵结果分析可知,SUMT(PDcobA),SUMT1(RCco-bA1)和SUMT2(RCcobA2)的表达有利于维生素B12产量的提高,与对照菌株相比分别提高了16.48%,10.2%和31.86%.根据摇瓶发酵的结果在5L发酵罐上进行了放大实验,pBBR122-Pbla-RCcobA2的产量为144.5 mg/L,相比对照菌pBBR122-Pb1a(111.3 mg/L)产量提高了29.83%左右.结论:SUMT的表达可以在一定程度上解除维生素B12合成途径中的瓶颈,提高维生素B12产量.
