Production of plant-derived anticancer precursor glucoraphanin in chromosomally engineered Escherichia coli

Abstract

Glucoraphanin is a methionine-derived glucosinolate that imparts numerous health-benefits with broad bioactivity. Low amounts in plant tissues and high cost of extraction have limited the production of glucoraphanin. Metabolic engineering in heterologous microorganisms is an attractive approach to achieve efficient production of valuable natural products. In this study, a microbial fermentation process for glucoraphanin production was demonstrated. The engineered bacterial strain stably expressed 10 allogeneic enzymes in E. coli chromosome, including nine heterologous genes from Arabidopsis and Brassica and one from fungus Neurospora crassa, which could produce the specialized glucosinolate compound glucoraphanin with a titer of 0.675 μg/L by fermentation from glucose. The cofactor supplements and individual gene overexpression for glucoraphanin production were also investigated. This work highlights the possibility of supplying specialized plant glucosinolates by microbial fermentation process, instead of chemical extraction. Additionally, the limiting step enzyme, UDP-glucose-thiohydroximate glucosyltransferase, identified in this study also laid a foundation for further optimizing the glucoraphanin-producing cell factory.
