In this study, a stable and robust plasmid-driven T7 system in protein overexpression, PDT7m, was developed by tailoring genetic elements. Through error-prone mutagenesis, a mutated T7RNAP with TTTT insertion provided enough RNA polymerase for efficient protein expression. The system showed a two-fold enhancement in protein expression efficiency due to modifications in the ribosome binding site of the T7 promoter.
The plasmid-driven T7 system (PDT7) is a flexible approach to trigger protein overexpression; however, most of the reported PDT7 rely on many auxiliary elements or inducible systems to attenuate the toxicity from the orthogonality of the T7 system, which limits its application as the one-step cloning and protein expression system. In this study, we developed a stable and robust PDT7 via tailoring the genetic elements. By error-prone mutagenesis, a mutated T7RNAP with TTTT insertion conferred a trace but enough amount of T7RNAP for stable and efficient PDT7, denoted as PDT7m. The replication origin was kept at the same level, while the ribosome binding site (RBS) of the T7 promoter was the most contributing factor, thus enhancing the protein expression twofold using PDT7m. For application as a host-independent screening platform, both constitutive and IPTG-inducible PDT7m were constructed. It was found that each strain harnessed different IPTG inducibilities for tailor-made strain selection. Constitutive PDT7m was successfully used to express the homologous protein (i.e., lysine decarboxylase) or heterologous protein (i.e., carbonic anhydrase, CA) as a one-step cloning and protein expression tool to select the best strain for cadaverine (DAP) or CA production, respectively. Additionally, PDT7m is compatible with the pET system for coproduction of DAP and CA simultaneously. Finally, PDT7m was used for in vivo high-end chemical production of aminolevulinic acid (ALA), in which addition of the T7 terminator successfully enhanced 340% ALA titer, thus paving the way to rapidly and effectively screening the superior strain as a cell factory.
