Abstract

The isopentenol utilization pathway (IUP) is potential in terpenoids synthesis. This study aimed to construct IUP-employed E. coli chassis for stably synthesizing terpenoids. As to effectiveness, promotor engineering strategy was employed to regulate IUP expression level, while ribosome-binding site (RBS) library of the key enzyme was constructed for screening the optimal RBS, followed by optimization of concentration of inducer and substrates, the titer of reporting production, lycopene, from 0.087 to 8.67 mg/OD600. As about stability, the IUP expression cassette was integrated into the genome through transposition tool based on CRISPR-associated transposases. Results showed that the strain with 13 copies produced 1.78-fold lycopene titer that of the controlled strain with IUP-harbored plasmid, and it exhibited stable expression after ten successions while the plasmid loss was observed in the controlled strain in the 3rd succession. This strategy provides valuable information for rapid construction of highly effective and stable chassis employing IUP for terpenoids production.
