Abstract | BackgroundPhycobiliproteins (PBPs) are light-harvesting protein found in cyanobacteria, red algae and the cryptomonads. They have been widely used as fluorescent labels in cytometry and immunofluorescence analysis. A number of PBPs has been produced in metabolically engineered Escherichia coli. However, the recombinant PBPs are incompletely chromophorylated, and the underlying mechanisms are not clear.Results and discussionIn this work, a pathway for SLA-PEB [a fusion protein of streptavidin and allophycocyanin that covalently binds phycoerythrobilin (PEB)] biosynthesis in E. coli was constructed using a single-expression plasmid strategy. Compared with a previous E. coli strain transformed with dual plasmids, the E. coli strain transformed with a single plasmid showed increased plasmid stability and produced SLA-PEB with a higher chromophorylation ratio. To achieve full chromophorylation of SLA-PEB, directed evolution was employed to improve the catalytic performance of lyase CpcS. In addition, the catalytic abilities of heme oxygenases from different cyanobacteria were investigated based on biliverdin IX and PEB accumulation. Upregulation of the heme biosynthetic pathway genes was also carried out to increase heme availability and PEB biosynthesis in E. coli. Fed-batch fermentation was conducted for the strain V5ALD, which produced recombinant SLA-PEB with a chromophorylation ratio of 96.7%.ConclusionIn addition to reporting the highest chromophorylation ratio of recombinant PBPs to date, this work demonstrated strategies for improving the chromophorylation of recombinant protein, especially biliprotein with heme, or its derivatives as a prosthetic group. |
