The present work aims to block 2,3-butanediol synthesis in acetoin fermentation of Bacillus subtilis. First, we constructed a recombinant strain BS168D by deleting the 2,3-butanediol dehydrogenase gene bdhA of the B. subtilis168, and there was almost no 2,3-butanediol production in 20?g/L of glucose media. The acetoin yield of BS168D reached 6.61?g/L, which was about 1.5 times higher than that of the control B. subtilis168 (4.47?g/L). Then, when the glucose concentration was increased to 100?g/L, the acetoin yield reached 24.6?g/L, but 2.4?g/L of 2,3-butanediol was detected at the end of fermentation. The analysis of 2,3-butanediol chiral structure indicated that the main 2,3-butanediol production of BS168D was meso-2,3-butanediol, and the bdhA gene was only responsible for (2R,3R)-2,3-butanediol synthesis. Therefore, we speculated that there may exit another pathway relating to the meso-2,3-butanediol synthesis in the B. subtilis. In addition, the results of low oxygen condition fermentation showed that deletion of bdhA gene successfully blocked the reversible transformation between acetoin and 2,3-butanediol and eliminated the effect of dissolved oxygen on the transformation.  相似文献

The budC gene encoding the meso-2,3-BDH from Klebsiella pneumoniae XJ-Li was expressed in E. coli BL21 (DE3) pLys. Hypothetical amino acid sequence alignments revealed that the enzyme belongs to the short chain dehydrogenase/reductase family. After purification and refolding, the recombinant enzyme had activities of 218 U/mg for reduction of acetoin and 66 U/mg for oxidation of meso-2,3-butanediol. Highest activities were at pH 8.0 and 9.0 respectively. These are higher than other meso-2,3-butanediol dehydrogenases from K. pneumoniae. The low K (m) value (0.65 mM) for acetoin indicated that the enzyme can easily reduce acetoin to meso-2,3-butanediol. There were no significant activities towards 2R,3R-2,3-butanediol, 1,4-butanediol and 2S,3S-2,3-butanediol, suggesting that the enzyme has a high stereospecificity for the meso-dihydric alcohol.  相似文献

Acetoin reductase (ACR) catalyzes the conversion of acetoin to 2,3-butanediol. Under certain conditions, Clostridium acetobutylicum ATCC 824 (and strains derived from it) generates both d- and l-stereoisomers of acetoin, but because of the absence of an ACR enzyme, it does not produce 2,3-butanediol. A gene encoding ACR from Clostridium beijerinckii NCIMB 8052 was functionally expressed in C. acetobutylicum under the control of two strong promoters, the constitutive thl promoter and the late exponential adc promoter. Both ACR-overproducing strains were grown in batch cultures, during which 89 to 90% of the natively produced acetoin was converted to 20 to 22 mM d-2,3-butanediol. The addition of a racemic mixture of acetoin led to the production of both d-2,3-butanediol and meso-2,3-butanediol. A metabolic network that is in agreement with the experimental data is proposed. Native 2,3-butanediol production is a first step toward a potential homofermentative 2-butanol-producing strain of C. acetobutylicum.  相似文献

The crystal structure of a ternary complex of meso-2,3-butanediol dehydrogenase with NAD+ and a competitive inhibitor, mercaptoethanol, has been determined at 1.7 A resolution by means of molecular replacement and refined to a final R-factor of 0.194. The overall structure is similar to those of the other short chain dehydrogenase/reductase enzymes. The NAD+ binding site, and the positions of catalytic residues Ser139, Tyr152, and Lys156 are also conserved. The crystal structure revealed that mercaptoethanol bound specifically to meso-2,3-butanediol dehydrogenase. Two residues around the active site, Gln140 and Gly183, forming hydrogen bonds with the inhibitor, are important but not sufficient for distinguishing stereoisomerism of a chiral substrate.  相似文献

Using a conserved sequence motif, a new gene (YAL060W) of the MDR family has been identified in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The expressed protein was a stereoespecific (2R,3R)-2,3-butanediol dehydrogenase (BDH). The best substrates were (2R,3R)-2,3-butanediol for the oxidation and (3R/3S)-acetoin and 1-hydroxy-2-propanone for the reduction reactions. The enzyme is extremely specific for NAD(H) as cofactor, probably because the presence of Glu223 in the cofactor binding site, instead of the highly conserved Asp223. BDH is inhibited competitively by 4-methylpyrazole with a K(i) of 34 microM. Yeast could grow on 2,3-butanediol or acetoin as a sole energy and carbon sources, and a 3.6-fold increase in BDH activity was observed when cells were grown in 2,3-butanediol, suggesting a role of the enzyme in 2,3-butanediol metabolism. However, the disruption of the YAL060W gene was not lethal for the yeast under laboratory conditions, and the disrupted strain could also grow in 2,3-butanediol and acetoin. This suggests that other enzymes, in addition to BDH, can also metabolize 2,3-butanediol in yeast.  相似文献

We present an assay for 2,3-butanediol by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry of its trimethylsilyl ethers. 2R,3R- and/or 2S,3S-2,3-butanediol and meso-2,3-butanediol are quantitated with corresponding internal standards of [2,3-2H2]butanediol. Limits of detection are 1 and 0.1 microM for split and splitless injections, respectively. Blood concentrations of 2,3-butanediol in nonalcoholics are 0.5 +/- 0.3 (SD) microM for 2R,3R- and/or 2S,3S-2,3-butanediol and 0.8 +/- 0.4 microM for meso-2,3-butanediol (n = 9). Two hours after alcohol ingestion, blood levels had risen in eight of nine subjects to 1.2 +/- 0.7 microM for 2R,3R-/2S,3S-2,3-butanediol and to 1.2 +/- 0.6 microM for meso-2,3-butanediol. Baseline urinary excretion of 2,3-butanediol is 0.4 +/- 0.2 mumol/mmol creatinine for 2R,3R-/2S,3S-2,3-butanediol and 0.9 +/- 0.5 mumol/mmol creatinine for meso-2,3-butanediol.  相似文献

Bacillus subtilis is capable of producing 2,3-butanediol from acetoin by fermentation, but to date, the gene encoding the enzyme responsible, acetoin reductase/2,3-butanediol dehydrogenase (AR/BDH), has remained unknown. A search of the B. subtilis genome database with the amino acid sequences of functional AR/BDHs from Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Bacillus cereus resulted in the identification of a highly similar protein encoded by the B. subtilis ydjL gene. A knockout strain carrying a ydjL::cat insertion mutation was constructed, which (i) abolished 2,3-butanediol production in early stationary phase, (ii) produced no detectable AR or BDH activity in vitro, and (iii) accumulated the precursor acetoin in early stationary phase. The ydjL::cat mutation also affected the kinetics of lactate but not acetate production during stationary-phase cultivation with glucose under oxygen limitation. A very small amount of 2,3-butanediol was detected in very-late-stationary-phase (96-hour) cultures of the ydjL::cat mutant, suggesting the existence of a second gene encoding a minor AR activity. From the data, it is proposed that the major AR/BDH-encoding gene ydjL be renamed bdhA.  相似文献

A (2R,3R)-2,3-butanediol dehydrogenase (BDH99::67) from Paenibacillus polymyxa ATCC 12321 was functionally characterized. The genetic characteristics of BDH99::67 are completely different from those of meso- and (2S,3S)-2,3-butanediol dehydrogenases. The results showed that BDH99::67 belongs to the medium-chain dehydrogenase/reductase superfamily and not to the short-chain dehydrogenase/reductase superfamily, to which meso- and (2S,3S)-2,3-butanediol dehydrogenases belong.  相似文献

An alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) from hyperthermophilic archaeon Thermococcus guaymasensis was purified to homogeneity and was found to be a homotetramer with a subunit size of 40 ± 1 kDa. The gene encoding the enzyme was cloned and sequenced; this gene had 1,095 bp, corresponding to 365 amino acids, and showed high sequence homology to zinc-containing ADHs and l-threonine dehydrogenases with binding motifs of catalytic zinc and NADP(+). Metal analyses revealed that this NADP(+)-dependent enzyme contained 0.9 ± 0.03 g-atoms of zinc per subunit. It was a primary-secondary ADH and exhibited a substrate preference for secondary alcohols and corresponding ketones. Particularly, the enzyme with unusual stereoselectivity catalyzed an anti-Prelog reduction of racemic (R/S)-acetoin to (2R,3R)-2,3-butanediol and meso-2,3-butanediol. The optimal pH values for the oxidation and formation of alcohols were 10.5 and 7.5, respectively. Besides being hyperthermostable, the enzyme activity increased as the temperature was elevated up to 95°C. The enzyme was active in the presence of methanol up to 40% (vol/vol) in the assay mixture. The reduction of ketones underwent high efficiency by coupling with excess isopropanol to regenerate NADPH. The kinetic parameters of the enzyme showed that the apparent K(m) values and catalytic efficiency for NADPH were 40 times lower and 5 times higher than those for NADP(+), respectively. The physiological roles of the enzyme were proposed to be in the formation of alcohols such as ethanol or acetoin concomitant to the NADPH oxidation.  相似文献

L-Acetoin (L-AC) was produced from diacetyl (DA) by Escherichia coli JM109/pBUD119 containing the meso-2,3-butanediol dehydrogenase (D-AC forming) gene. However, when the strain was cultured in the presence of isopropyl-beta-D-thiogalacto-pyranoside, the enzyme formed catalysed not only D-AC but also L-AC. L-AC was further reduced to L-2,3-butanediol (BD). The yield of L-AC or L-BD from DA (3 gl-1) was about 70% (w/w).  相似文献

A NAD-dependent (R)-2,3-butanediol dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.4), selectively catalyzing the oxidation at the (R)-center of 2,3-butanediol irrespective of the absolute configuration of the other carbinol center, was isolated from cell extracts of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Purification was achieved by means of streptomycin sulfate treatment, Sephadex G-25 filtration, DEAE-Sepharose CL-6B chromatography, affinity chromatography on Matrex Gel Blue A and Superose 6 prep grade chromatography leading to a 70-fold enrichment of the specific activity with 44% yield. Analysis of chiral products was carried out by gas chromatographic methods via pre-chromatographic derivatization and resolution of corresponding diasteromeric derivatives. The enzyme was capable to reduce irreversibly diacetyl (2,3-butanediol) to (R)-acetoin (3-hydroxy-2-butanone) and in a subsequent reaction reversibly to (R,R)-2,3-butanediol using NADH as coenzyme. 1-Hydroxy-2-ketones and C5-acyloins were also accepted as substrates, whereas the enzyme was inactive towards the reduction of acetone and dihydroxyacetone. The relative molecular mass (M r) of the enzyme was estimated as 140 000 by means of gel filtration. On SDS-polyacrylamide gel the protein decomposed into 4 (identical) subunits of M r 35 000. Optimum pH was 6.7 for the reduction of acetoin to 2,3-butanediol and 7.2 for the reverse reaction.Abbreviations GC-MS gas chromatography-mass spectrometry - i.d. internal diameter - M r relative molecular mass - MTPA-Cl -methoxy--trifluoromethylphenyl acetic acid chloride - PEIC 1-phenylethylisocyanate  相似文献

Acetoin is a volatile compound widely used in foods, cigarettes, cosmetics, detergents, chemical synthesis, plant growth promoters and biological pest controls. It works largely as flavour and fragrance. Since some bacteria were found to be capable of vigorous acetoin biosynthesis from versatile renewable biomass, acetoin, like its reduced form 2,3-butanediol, was also classified as a promising bio-based platform chemical. In spite of several reviews on the biological production of 2,3-butanediol, little has concentrated on acetoin. The two analogous compounds are present in the same acetoin (or 2,3-butanediol) pathway, but their production processes including optimal strains, substrates, derivatives, process controls and product recovery methods are quite different. In this review, the usages of acetoin are reviewed firstly to demonstrate its importance. The biosynthesis pathway and molecular regulation mechanisms are then outlined to depict the principal network of functioning in typical species. A phylogenetic tree is constructed and the relationship between taxonomy and acetoin producing ability is revealed for the first time, which will serve as a useful guide for the screening of competitive acetoin producers. Genetic engineering, medium optimization, and process control are effective strategies to improve productivity as well. Currently, downstream processing is one of the main barriers in efficient and economical industrial acetoin fermentation. The future prospects of microbial acetoin production are discussed in light of the current progress, challenges, and trends in this field.  相似文献

Two 2,3-butanediol dehydrogenases (enzymes 1 and 2; molecular weight of each, 170,000) have been partially purified from Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis (Streptococcus diacetylactis) D10 and shown to have reductase activity with either diacetyl or acetoin as the substrate. However, the reductase activity with 10 mM diacetyl was far greater for both enzymes (7.0- and 4.7-fold for enzymes 1 and 2, respectively) than with 10 mM acetoin as the substrate. In contrast, when acetoin and diacetyl were present together, acetoin was the preferred substrate for both enzymes, with enzyme 1 showing the more marked preference for acetoin. meso-2,3-Butanediol was the only isomeric product, with enzyme 1 independent of the substrate combinations. For enzyme 2, both the meso and optical isomers of 2,3-butanediol were formed with acetoin as the substrate, but only the optical isomers were produced with diacetyl as the substrate. With batch cultures of strain D10 at or near the point of citrate exhaustion, the main isomers of 2,3-butanediol present were the optical forms. If the pH was sufficiently high (>pH 5), acetoin reduction occurred over time and was followed by diacetyl reduction, and meso-2,3-butanediol became the predominant isomer. Interconversion of the optical isomers into the meso isomer did occur. The properties of 2,3-butanediol dehydrogenases are consistent with diacetyl and acetoin removal and the appearance of the isomers of 2,3-butanediol.  相似文献

Acetoin is widely used in food and cosmetics industries as a taste and fragrance enhancer. To produce (R)-acetoin in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, acetoin biosynthetic genes encoding α-acetolactate synthase (AlsS) and α-acetolactate decarboxylase (AlsD) from Bacillus subtilis and water-forming NADH oxidase (NoxE) from Lactococcus lactis were integrated into delta-sequences in JHY605 strain, where the production of ethanol, glycerol, and (R,R)-2,3-butanediol (BDO) was largely eliminated. We further improved acetoin production by increasing acetoin tolerance by adaptive laboratory evolution, and eliminating other byproducts including meso-2,3-BDO and 2,3-dimethylglycerate, a newly identified byproduct. Ara1, Ypr1, and Ymr226c (named Ora1) were identified as (S)-alcohol-forming reductases, which can reduce (R)-acetoin to meso-2,3-BDO in vitro. However, only Ara1 and Ypr1 contributed to meso-2,3-BDO production in vivo. We elucidate that Ora1, having a substrate preference for (S)-acetoin, reduces (S)-α-acetolactate to 2,3-dimethylglycerate, thus competing with AlsD-mediated (R)-acetoin production. By deleting ARA1, YPR1, and ORA1, 101.3 g/L of (R)-acetoin was produced with a high yield (96% of the maximum theoretical yield) and high stereospecificity (98.2%).  相似文献

Using a conserved sequence motif, a new gene (YAL060W) of the MDR family has been identified in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The expressed protein was a stereoespecific (2R,3R)-2,3-butanediol dehydrogenase (BDH). The best substrates were (2R,3R)-2,3-butanediol for the oxidation and (3R/3S)-acetoin and 1-hydroxy-2-propanone for the reduction reactions. The enzyme is extremely specific for NAD(H) as cofactor, probably because the presence of Glu223 in the cofactor binding site, instead of the highly conserved Asp223. BDH is inhibited competitively by 4-methylpyrazole with a Ki of 34 μM. Yeast could grow on 2,3-butanediol or acetoin as a sole energy and carbon sources, and a 3.6-fold increase in BDH activity was observed when cells were grown in 2,3-butanediol, suggesting a role of the enzyme in 2,3-butanediol metabolism. However, the disruption of the YAL060W gene was not lethal for the yeast under laboratory conditions, and the disrupted strain could also grow in 2,3-butanediol and acetoin. This suggests that other enzymes, in addition to BDH, can also metabolize 2,3-butanediol in yeast.  相似文献

Eight representative strains of Alcaligenes eutrophus, two strains of Alcaligenes hydrogenophilus and three strains of Paracoccus denitrificans were examined for their ability to use different alcohols and acetoin as a carbon source for growth. A. eutrophus strains N9A, H16 and derivative strains were unable to grow on ethanol or on 2,3-butanediol. Alcohol-utilizing mutants derived from these strains, isolated in this study, can be categorized into two major groups: Type I-mutants represented by strain AS1 occurred even spontaneously and were able to grow on 2,3-butanediol (t d=2.7–6.4 h) and on ethanol (t d=15–50 h). The fermentative alcohol dehydrogenase was present on all substrates tested, indicating that this enzyme in vivo is able to oxidize 2,3-butanediol to acetoin which is a good substrate for wild type strains. Type II-mutants represented by strain AS4 utilize ethanol as a carbon source for growth (t d=3–9 h) but do not grow on butanediol. In these mutants the fermentative alcohol dehydrogenase is only present in cells cultivated under conditions of restricted oxygen supply, but a different NAD-dependent alcohol dehydrogenase is present in ethanol grown cells. Cells grown on ethanol, acetoin or 2,3-butanediol synthesized in addition two proteins exhibiting NAD-dependent acetaldehyde dehydrogenase activity and acetate thiokinase. An acylating acetaldehyde dehydrogenase (EC 1.2.1.10) was not detectable. Applying the colistin- and pin point-technique for mutant selection to strain AS1, mutants, which lack the fermentative alcohol dehydrogenase even if cultivated under conditions of restricted oxygen supply, were isolated; the growth pattern served as a readily identifiable phenotypic marker for the presence or absence of this enzyme.  相似文献

The completion of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae genome project in 1996 showed that almost 60% of the potential open reading frames of the genome had no experimentally determined function. Using a conserved sequence motif present in the zinc-containing medium-chain alcohol dehydrogenases, we found several potential alcohol dehydrogenase genes with no defined function. One of these, YAL060W, was overexpressed using a multicopy inducible vector, and its protein product was purified to homogeneity. The enzyme was found to be a homodimer that, in the presence of NAD(+), but not of NADP, could catalyze the stereospecific oxidation of (2R,3R)-2, 3-butanediol (K(m) = 14 mm, k(cat) = 78,000 min(-)(1)) and meso-butanediol (K(m) = 65 mm, k(cat) = 46,000 min(-)(1)) to (3R)-acetoin and (3S)-acetoin, respectively. It was unable, however, to further oxidize these acetoins to diacetyl. In the presence of NADH, it could catalyze the stereospecific reduction of racemic acetoin ((3R/3S)- acetoin; K(m) = 4.5 mm, k(cat) = 98,000 min(-)(1)) to (2R,3R)-2,3-butanediol and meso-butanediol, respectively. The substrate stereospecificity was determined by analysis of products by gas-liquid chromatography. The YAL060W gene product can therefore be classified as an NAD-dependent (2R,3R)-2,3-butanediol dehydrogenase (BDH). S. cerevisiae could grow on 2,3-butanediol as the sole carbon and energy source. Under these conditions, a 3. 5-fold increase in (2R,3R)-2,3-butanediol dehydrogenase activity was observed in the total cell extracts. The isoelectric focusing pattern of the induced enzyme coincided with that of the pure BDH (pI 6.9). The disruption of the YAL060W gene was not lethal for the yeast under laboratory conditions. The disrupted strain could also grow on 2,3-butanediol, although attaining a lesser cell density than the wild-type strain. Taking into consideration the substrate specificity of the YAL060W gene product, we propose the name of BDH for this gene. The corresponding enzyme is the first eukaryotic (2R, 3R)-2,3-butanediol dehydrogenase characterized of the medium-chain dehydrogenase/reductase family.  相似文献

Fermentation of xylose by Klebsiella pneumoniae (ATCC 8724, formerly known as Aerobacter aerogenes) carried out in our laboratory yields 2,3-butanediol as the major product. Experimental data obtained in this work cannot be explained by the model presently in the literature for the formation of 2,3-butanediol isomers from acetoin isomers. A new model is proposed with the existence of two acetoin reductases and an acetoin racemase. The two reductases were separated and their stereospecificity determined. Extension of the model of other microorganisms is discussed.  相似文献

Abstract The 2,3-butanediol dehydrogenase and the acetoin-cleaving system were simultaneously induced in Pseudomonas putida PpG2 during growth on 2,3-butanediol and on acetoin. Hybridization with a DNA probe covering the genes for the E1 subunits of the Alcaligenes eutrophus acetoin cleaving system and nucleotide sequence analysis identified acoA (975 bp), acoB (1020 bp), acoC (1110 bp), acoX (1053 bp) and adh (1086 bp) in a 6.3-kb genomic region. The amino acid sequences deduced from acoA , acoB , and acoC for E1α ( M r 34639), E1β ( M r 37268), and E2 ( M r 39613) of the P. putida acetoin cleaving system exhibited striking similarities to those of the corresponding components of the A. eutrophus acetoin cleaving system and of the acetoin dehydrogenase enzyme system of Pelobacter carbinolicus and other bacteria. Strong sequence similarities of the adh translational product (2,3-butanediol dehydrogenase, M r 38361) were obtained to various alcohol dehydrogenases belonging to the zinc- and NAD(P)-dependent long-chain (group I) alcohol dehydrogenases. Expression of the P. putida ADH in Escherichia coli was demonstrated. The aco genes and adh constitute presumably one single operon which encodes all enzymes required for the conversion of 2,3-butanediol to central metabolites.  相似文献

The capacity to produce 2,3-butanediol by 90 strains of four different species of wine yeasts (Kloeckera apiculata, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Saccharomycodes ludwigii, Zygosaccharomyces bailii) was tested in grape must by automated multiple development HPTLC. The total amount of 2,3-butanediol produced varied between 23mg l–1 and 857.7mg l–1 according to the yeast species. S. cerevisiae and Z. bailii behaved similarly, producing elevated amounts of 2,3-butanediol. K. apiculata and Sc. ludwigii, in contrast, were low producers. When considerable amounts of 2,3-butanediol were found, little acetoin was present; the amounts of butanediol and acetoin were characteristic of the individual species.  相似文献
