Multi-Enzymatic Cascade One-Pot Biosynthesis of 3'-Sialyllactose Using Engineered Escherichia coli.

ABSTRACT: Among the human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs), one of the most abundant oligosaccharides and has great benefits for human health is 3'-sialyllactose (3'-SL). Given its important physiological functions and the lack of cost-effective production processes, we constructed an in vitro multi-enzymatic cofactor recycling system for the biosynthesis of 3'-SL from a low-cost substrate. First, we constructed the biosynthetic pathway and increased the solubility of cytidine monophosphate kinase (CMK) with chaperones. We subsequently identified that β-galactosidase (lacZ) affects the yield of 3'-SL, and hence with the lacZ gene knocked out, a 3.3-fold increase in the production of 3'-SL was observed. Further, temperature, pH, polyphosphate concentration, and concentration of divalent metal ions for 3'
