Engineered heterologous multi-gene metabolic pathways often suffer from flux imbalance and toxic metabolites, as the production host typically lacks the regulatory mechanisms for the heterologous pathway. Here, we first coordinated the expression of all genes of the mevalonate (MEV) pathway from Saccharomyces cerevisiae using the tunable intergenic regions (TIGRs), and then dynamically regulated the TIGR-mediated MEV pathway to prevent the accumulation of toxic metabolites by using IPP/FPP-responsive promoter. After introduction of the dynamically controlled TIGR-mediated MEV pathway into Escherichia coli, the content and concentration of zeaxanthin in shaker flask cultures were 2.0- and 2.1-fold higher, respectively, than those of the strain harboring the statically controlled non-TIGR-mediated MEV pathway. The content and concentration of zeaxanthin in E. coli ZEAX (pZSPgadE-MevTTIGR-MevBTIGRIS-2) reached 722.46mg/L and 23.16mg/g dry cell weight (DCW), respectively, in 5.0L fed-batch fermentation. We also comparatively analyzed the proteomes between E. coli ZEAX and E. coli ZEAX (pZSPgadE-MevTTIGR-MevBTIGRIS-2) to understand the mechanism of zeaxanthin biosynthesis. The results of the comparative proteomes demonstrate that zeaxanthin overproduction may be associated with increased precursor availability, increased NADPH availability, increased ATP availability, oxidative stress response, and increased membrane storage capacity for zeaxanthin due to changes in both cellular shape and membrane composition.
