Title:
PRODUCTION OF TYRIAN PURPLE CELL DYE BY USING ESCHERICHIA COLI AND DYEING METHOD USING SAME
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2022/097856
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Tyrian purple, mainly consisting of 6,6'-dibromoindigo (6BrIG), is an ancient dye extracted from sea snails and has recently been demonstrated as a biocompatible semiconductor material. However, the synthesis of Tyrian purple is limited due to uncharacterized biosynthetic pathways and the difficulty of regiospecific bromination. The present invention presents an effective 6BrIG production strategy in Escherichia coli using tryptophan 6-halogenase (SttH), tryptophanase (TnaA), and flavin-containing monooxygenase (MaFMO). Since tryptophan halogenases are expressed in highly insoluble forms in Escherichia coli, a flavin reductase Fre that regenerates FADH2 for the halogenase reaction was used as an N-terminal soluble tag of SttH. A consecutive two-cell reaction system of the present invention is designed to enable the mass production of regiospecifically brominated precursors of 6BrIG by spatiotemporal separation of bromination and bromotryptophan degradation. Through these approaches, in the present invention, 315.0 mg/L of 6BrIG was produced from tryptophan, and the successful synthesis of regiospecifically dihalogenated indigos was induced. In addition, the present invention shows that 6BrIG-containing Escherichia coli cells can be directly used as a cell dye.
