Gangliosides are essential glycosphingolipids critical in neurodevelopment and cell signaling. Traditionally sourced from animal tissues, their production raises ethical concerns and faces challenges in scalability and cost. Chemoenzymatic methods have emerged as alternatives but lack flexibility and broad industrial applicability of microbial systems. However, complete microbial biosynthesis remains challenging due to the complexity of reconstructing the biosynthetic pathway in non-native hosts. We report the first successful complete microbial synthesis of gangliosides by engineering the industrial filamentous fungus Ashbya gossypii. Using modular metabolic engineering, we heterologously expressed human and yeast enzymes to reconstruct a functional ganglioside biosynthetic pathway. Pathways for producing activated N-acetylneuraminic acid, lactosylceramide, and sialylated intermediates were integrated, yielding GM3 and GD3 at milligram-per-liter levels. These titers were further enhanced by introducing a heterologous Leloir pathway for galactose metabolism. This work represents a foundational advance in microbial glycoengineering, offering a scalable, animal-free microbial platform for ganglioside production with broad applications.
神经节苷脂是神经发育和细胞信号传导中至关重要的糖鞘脂。传统上神经节苷脂来源于动物组织,其生产引发了伦理问题,并且在可扩展性和成本方面面临挑战。化学酶法已成为替代方法,但缺乏微生物系统的灵活性和广泛的工业适用性。然而,由于在非天然宿主中重建生物合成途径的复杂性,完整的微生物生物合成仍然具有挑战性。我们报告了通过工程改造工业丝状真菌棉阿舒囊霉首次成功实现神经节苷脂的完整微生物合成。利用模块化代谢工程,我们异源表达了人类和酵母酶以重建功能性神经节苷脂生物合成途径。整合了生产活化的N - 乙酰神经氨酸、乳糖基神经酰胺和唾液酸化中间体的途径,以毫克每升的水平产生GM3和GD3。通过引入用于半乳糖代谢的异源Leloir途径,这些滴度进一步提高。这项工作代表了微生物糖工程的一项基础性进展,为神经节苷脂生产提供了一个可扩展的、无动物的微生物平台,具有广泛的应用。
