OptSSeq: High-Throughput Sequencing Readout of Growth Enrichment Defines Optimal Gene Expression Elements for Homoethanologenesis
Abstract
The optimization of synthetic pathways is a central challenge in metabolic engineering. OptSSeq (Optimization by Selection and Sequencing) is one approach to this challenge. OptSSeq couples selection of optimal enzyme expression levels linked to cell growth rate with high-throughput sequencing to track enrichment of gene expression elements (promoters and ribosomebinding sites) from a combinatorial library. OptSSeq yields information on both optimal and suboptimal enzyme levels, and helps identify constraints that limit maximal product formation. Here we report a proof-of-concept implementation of OptSSeq using homoethanologenesis, a two-step pathway consisting of pyruvate decarboxylase (Pdc) and alcohol dehydrogenase (Adh) that converts pyruvate to ethanol and is naturally optimized in the bacterium Zymomonas mobilis. We used OptSSeq to determine optimal gene expression elements and enzyme levels for Z. mobilis Pdc, AdhA, and AdhB expressed in Escherichia coli. By varying both expression signals and gene order, we identified an optimal solution using only Pdc and AdhB. We resolved current uncertainty about the functions of the Fe2+-dependent AdhB and Zn2+- dependent AdhA by showing that AdhB is preferred over AdhA for rapid growth in both E. coli and Z. mobilis. Finally, by comparing predictions of growth-linked metabolic flux to enzyme synthesis costs, we established that optimalmore »
