cAMP receptor protein (CRP) is known as a global regulatory factor mainly mediating carbon source catabolism. Herein, we successfully engineered CRP to develop microbial chassis cells with improved recombinant biosynthetic capability in minimal medium with glucose as single carbon source. The obtained best-performing cAMP-independent CRPmu9mutant conferred both faster cell growth and a 133-fold improvement in expression level oflacpromoter in presence of 2% glucose, compared with strain under regulation of CRPwild-type. Promoters free from “glucose repression” are advantageous for recombinant expression, as glucose is a frequently used inexpensive carbon source in high-cell-density fermentations. Transcriptome analysis demonstrated that the CRP mutant globally rewired cell metabolism, displaying elevated tricarboxylic acid cycle activity; reduced acetate formation; increased nucleotide biosynthesis; and improved ATP synthesis, tolerance, and stress-resistance activity. Metabolites analysis confirmed the enhancement of glucose utilization with the upregulation of glycolysis and glyoxylate-tricarboxylic acid cycle. As expected, an elevated biosynthetic capability was demonstrated with vanillin, naringenin and caffeic acid biosynthesis in strains regulated by CRPmu9. This study has expanded the significance of CRP optimization into glucose utilization and recombinant biosynthesis, beyond the conventionally designated carbon source utilization other than glucose. TheEscherichiacolicell regulated by CRPmu9can be potentially used as a beneficial chassis for recombinant biosynthesis.
