Metabolic engineering is a powerful tool which has been widely used for producing valuable products. For improving l-phenylalanine (l-Phe) accumulation in Corynebacterium glutamicum, we have investigated the target genes involved in the biosynthetic pathways. The genes involved in the biosynthesis of l-Phe were found to be strictly regulated genes by feedback inhibition. As a result, overexpression of the native wild-type genes aroF, aroG or pheA resulted in a slight increase of l-Phe. In contrast, overexpression of aroF wt or pheA fbr from E. coli significantly increased l-Phe production. Co-overexpression of aroF wt and pheA fbr improved the titer of l-Phe to 4.46 ± 0.06 g l?1. To further analyze the target enzymes in the aromatic amino acid synthesis pathway between C. glutamicum and E. coli, the wild-type gene aroH from E. coli was overexpressed and evaluated in C. glutamicum. As predicted, upregulation of the wild-type gene aroH resulted in a remarkable increase of l-Phe production. Co-overexpression of the mutated pheA fbr and the wild-type gene aroH resulted in the production of l-Phe up to 4.64 ± 0.09 g l?1. Based on these results we conclude that the wild-type gene aroH from E. coli is an appropriate target gene for pathway engineering in C. glutamicum for the production of aromatic amino acids.  相似文献

Wild-type Corynebacterium glutamicum was metabolically engineered to convert glucose and mannose into guanosine 5′-diphosphate (GDP)-l-fucose, a precursor of fucosyl-oligosaccharides, which are involved in various biological and pathological functions. This was done by introducing the gmd and wcaG genes of Escherichia coli encoding GDP-d-mannose-4,6-dehydratase and GDP-4-keto-6-deoxy-d-mannose-3,5-epimerase-4-reductase, respectively, which are known as key enzymes in the production of GDP-l-fucose from GDP-d-mannose. Coexpression of the genes allowed the recombinant C. glutamicum cells to produce GDP-l-fucose in a minimal medium containing glucose and mannose as carbon sources. The specific product formation rate was much higher during growth on mannose than on glucose. In addition, the specific product formation rate was further increased by coexpressing the endogenous phosphomanno-mutase gene (manB) and GTP-mannose-1-phosphate guanylyl-transferase gene (manC), which are involved in the conversion of mannose-6-phosphate into GDP-d-mannose. However, the overexpression of manA encoding mannose-6-phosphate isomerase, catalyzing interconversion of mannose-6-phosphate and fructose-6-phosphate showed a negative effect on formation of the target product. Overall, coexpression of gmd, wcaG, manB and manC in C. glutamicum enabled production of GDP-l-fucose at the specific rate of 0.11 mg g cell?1 h?1. The specific GDP-l-fucose content reached 5.5 mg g cell?1, which is a 2.4-fold higher than that of the recombinant E. coli overexpressing gmd, wcaG, manB and manC under comparable conditions. Well-established metabolic engineering tools may permit optimization of the carbon and cofactor metabolisms of C. glutamicum to further improve their production capacity.  相似文献

The experiments presented here were based on the conclusions of our previous results. In order to avoid introduction of expression plasmid and to balance the NADH/NAD ratio, the NADH biosynthetic enzyme, i.e., NAD-dependent glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GADPH), was replaced by NADP-dependent GADPH, which was used to biosynthesize NADPH rather than NADH. The results indicated that the NADH/NAD ratio significantly decreased, and glucose consumption and l-lysine production drastically improved. Moreover, increasing the flux through l-lysine biosynthetic pathway and disruption of ilvN and hom, which involve in the branched amino acid and l-methionine biosynthesis, further improved l-lysine production by Corynebacterium glutamicum. Compared to the original strain C. glutamicum Lys5, the l-lysine production and glucose conversion efficiency (α) were enhanced to 81.0 ± 6.59 mM and 36.45 % by the resulting strain C. glutamicum Lys5-8 in shake flask. In addition, the by-products (i.e., l-threonine, l-methionine and l-valine) were significantly decreased as results of genetic modification in homoserine dehydrogenase (HSD) and acetohydroxyacid synthase (AHAS). In fed-batch fermentation, C. glutamicum Lys5-8 began to produce l-lysine at post-exponential growth phase and continuously increased over 36 h to a final titer of 896 ± 33.41 mM. The l-lysine productivity was 2.73 g l?1 h?1 and the α was 47.06 % after 48 h. However, the attenuation of MurE was not beneficial to increase the l-lysine production because of decreasing the cell growth. Based on the above-mentioned results, we get the following conclusions: cofactor NADPH, precursor, the flux through l-lysine biosynthetic pathway and DCW are beneficial to improve l-lysine production in C. glutamicum.  相似文献

l-DOPA (3,4-dihydroxyphenyl-l-alanine) is the most widely used drug for treatment of Parkinson’s disease. In this study Yarrowia lipolytica-NCIM 3472 biomass was used for transformation of l-tyrosine to l-DOPA. The process parameters were optimized using response surface methodology (RSM). The optimum values of the tested variables for the production of l-DOPA were: pH 7.31, temperature 42.9 °C, 2.31 g l?1 cell mass and 1.488 g l?1 l-tyrosine. The highest yield obtained with these optimum parameters along with recycling of the cells was 4.091 g l?1. This optimization of process parameters using RSM resulted in 4.609-fold increase in the l-DOPA production. The statistical analysis showed that the model was significant. Also coefficient of determination (R2) was 0.9758, indicating a good agreement between the experimental and predicted values of l-DOPA production. The highest tyrosinase activity observed was 7,028 U mg?1 tyrosine. l-DOPA production was confirmed by HPTLC and HPLC analysis. Thus, RSM approach effectively enhanced the potential of Y. lipolytica-NCIM 3472 as an alternative source to produce l-DOPA.  相似文献

Bifidobacterium longum NRRL B-41409 l-arabinose isomerase (l-AI) was overexpressed in Lactococcus lactis using a phosphate depletion inducible expression system. The resting L. lactis cells harboring the B. longum l-AI were used for production of d-tagatose from d-galactose in the presence of borate buffer. Multivariable analysis suggested that high pH, temperature and borate concentration favoured the conversion of d-galactose to d-tagatose. Almost quantitative conversion (92 %) was achieved at 20 g L?1 substrate and at 37.5 °C after 5 days. The d-tagatose production rate of 185 g L?1 day?1 was obtained at 300 g L?1 galactose, at 1.15 M borate, and at 41 °C during 10 days when the production medium was changed every 24 h. There was no significant loss in productivity during ten sequential 24 h batches. The initial d-tagatose production rate was 290 g L?1 day?1 under these conditions.  相似文献

γ-Aminobutyric acid (GABA), a non-protein amino acid, is a bioactive component in the food, feed and pharmaceutical fields. To establish an effective single-step production system for GABA, a recombinant Corynebacterium glutamicum strain co-expressing two glutamate decarboxylase (GAD) genes (gadB1 and gadB2) derived from Lactobacillus brevis Lb85 was constructed. Compared with the GABA production of the gadB1 or gadB2 single-expressing strains, GABA production by the gadB1gadB2 co-expressing strain increased more than twofold. By optimising urea supplementation, the total production of l-glutamate and GABA increased from 22.57 ± 1.24 to 30.18 ± 1.33 g L?1, and GABA production increased from 4.02 ± 0.95 to 18.66 ± 2.11 g L?1 after 84-h cultivation. Under optimal urea supplementation, l-glutamate continued to be consumed, GABA continued to accumulate after 36 h of fermentation, and the pH level fluctuated. GABA production increased to a maximum level of 27.13 ± 0.54 g L?1 after 120-h flask cultivation and 26.32 g L?1 after 60-h fed-batch fermentation. The conversion ratio of l-glutamate to GABA reached 0.60–0.74 mol mol?1. By co-expressing gadB1 and gadB2 and optimising the urea addition method, C. glutamicum was genetically improved for de novo biosynthesis of GABA from its own accumulated l-glutamate.  相似文献

The experiments presented here were based on the conclusions of our previous proteomic analysis. Increasing the availability of glutamate by overexpression of the genes encoding enzymes in the l-ornithine biosynthesis pathway upstream of glutamate and disruption of speE, which encodes spermidine synthase, improved l-ornithine production by Corynebacterium glutamicum. Production of l-ornithine requires 2 moles of NADPH per mole of l-ornithine. Thus, the effect of NADPH availability on l-ornithine production was also investigated. Expression of Clostridium acetobutylicum gapC, which encodes NADP-dependent glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, and Bacillus subtilis rocG, which encodes NAD-dependent glutamate dehydrogenase, led to an increase of l-ornithine concentration caused by greater availability of NADPH. Quantitative real-time PCR analysis demonstrates that the increased levels of NADPH resulted from the expression of the gapC or rocG gene rather than that of genes (gnd, icd, and ppnK) involved in NADPH biosynthesis. The resulting strain, C. glutamicum ΔAPRE::rocG, produced 14.84 g l?1 of l-ornithine. This strategy of overexpression of gapC and rocG will be useful for improving production of target compounds using NADPH as reducing equivalent within their synthetic pathways.  相似文献

During l-glutamate production, phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase and pyruvate carboxylase (PCx) play important roles in supplying oxaloacetate to the tricarboxylic acid cycle. To explore the significance of PCx for l-glutamate overproduction, the pyc gene encoding PCx was amplified in Corynebacterium glutamicum GDK-9 triggered by biotin limitation and CN1021 triggered by a temperature shock, respectively. In the fed-batch cultures, GDK-9pXMJ19pyc exhibited 7.4 % lower l-alanine excretion and no improved l-glutamate production. In contrast, CN1021pXMJ19pyc finally exhibited 13 % lower l-alanine excretion and identical l-glutamate production, however, 8.5 % higher l-glutamate production was detected during a short period of the fermentation. It was indicated that pyc overexpression in l-glutamate producer strains, especially CN1021, increased the supply of oxaloacetate for l-glutamate synthesis and decreased byproduct excretion at the pyruvate node.  相似文献

Dihydrodipicolinate synthase (DHDPS, EC 4.2.1.52) catalyzes the first committed reaction of l-lysine biosynthesis in bacteria and plants and is allosterically regulated by l-lysine. In previous studies, DHDPSs from different species were proved to have different sensitivity to l-lysine inhibition. In this study, we investigated the key determinants of feedback regulation between two industrially important DHDPSs, the l-lysine-sensitive DHDPS from Escherichia coli and l-lysine-insensitive DHDPS from Corynebacterium glutamicum, by sequence and structure comparisons and site-directed mutation. Feedback inhibition of E. coli DHDPS was successfully alleviated after substitution of the residues around the inhibitor’s binding sites with those of C. glutamicum DHDPS. Interestingly, mutagenesis of the lysine binding sites of C. glutamicum DHDPS according to E. coli DHDPS did not recover the expected feedback inhibition but an activation of DHDPS by l-lysine, probably due to differences in the allosteic signal transduction in the DHDPS of these two organisms. Overexpression of l-lysine-insensitive E. coli DHDPS mutants in E. coli MG1655 resulted in an improvement of l-lysine production yield by 46 %.  相似文献

Corynebacterium glutamicum ATCC13032 and Brevibacterium flavum JV16 were engineered for l-valine production by over-expressing ilvEBN r C genes at 31?°C in 72?h fermentation. Different strategies were carried out to reduce the by-products’ accumulation in l-valine fermentation and also to increase the availability of precursor for l-valine biosynthesis. The native promoter of ilvA of C. glutamicum was replaced with a weak promoter MPilvA (P-ilvAM1CG) to reduce the biosynthetic rate of l-isoleucine. Effect of different relative dissolved oxygen on l-valine production and by-products’ formation was recorded, indicating that 15?% saturation may be the most appropriate relative dissolved oxygen for l-valine fermentation with almost no l-lactic acid and l-glutamate formed. To minimize l-alanine accumulation, alaT and/or avtA was inactivated in C. glutamicum and B. flavum, respectively. Compared to high concentration of l-alanine accumulated by alaT inactivated strains harboring ilvEBN r C genes, l-alanine concentration was reduced to 0.18?g/L by C. glutamicum ATCC13032MPilvAavtA pDXW-8-ilvEBN r C, and 0.22?g/L by B. flavum JV16avtA::Cm pDXW-8-ilvEBN r C. Meanwhile, l-valine production and conversion efficiency were enhanced to 31.15?g/L and 0.173?g/g by C. glutamicum ATCC13032MPilvAavtA pDXW-8-ilvEBN r C, 38.82?g/L and 0.252?g/g by B. flavum JV16avtA::Cm pDXW-8-ilvEBN r C. This study provides combined strategies to improve l-valine yield by minimization of by-products’ production.  相似文献

d-galactose is an attractive substrate for bioconversion. Herein, Escherichia coli was metabolically engineered to convert d-galactose into d-galactonate, a valuable compound in the polymer and cosmetic industries. d-galactonate productions by engineered E. coli strains were observed in shake flask cultivations containing 2 g L?1 d-galactose. Engineered E. coli expressing gld coding for galactose dehydrogenase from Pseudomonas syringae was able to produce 0.17 g L?1 d-galactonate. Inherent metabolic pathways for assimilating both d-galactose and d-galactonate were blocked to enhance the production of d-galactonate. This approach finally led to a 7.3-fold increase with d-galactonate concentration of 1.24 g L?1 and yield of 62.0 %. Batch fermentation in 20 g L?1 d-galactose of E. coli ?galK?dgoK mutant expressing the gld resulted in 17.6 g L?1 of d-galactonate accumulation and highest yield of 88.1 %. Metabolic engineering strategy developed in this study could be useful for industrial production of d-galactonate.  相似文献

Poly-lactic acid (PLA) derived from renewable resources is considered to be a good substitute for petroleum-based plastics. The number of poly l-lactic acid applications is increased by the introduction of a stereocomplex PLA, which consists of both poly-l and d-lactic acid and has a higher melting temperature. To date, several studies have explored the production of l-lactic acid, but information on biosynthesis of d-lactic acid is limited. Pulp and corn stover are abundant, renewable lignocellulosic materials that can be hydrolyzed to sugars and used in biosynthesis of d-lactic acid. In our study, saccharification of pulp and corn stover was done by cellulase CTec2 and sugars generated from hydrolysis were converted to d-lactic acid by a homofermentative strain, L. delbrueckii, through a sequential hydrolysis and fermentation process (SHF) and a simultaneous saccharification and fermentation process (SSF). 36.3 g L?1 of d-lactic acid with 99.8 % optical purity was obtained in the batch fermentation of pulp and attained highest yield and productivity of 0.83 g g?1 and 1.01 g L?1 h?1, respectively. Luedeking–Piret model described the mixed growth-associated production of d-lactic acid with a maximum specific growth rate 0.2 h?1 and product formation rate 0.026 h?1, obtained for this strain. The efficient synthesis of d-lactic acid having high optical purity and melting point will lead to unique stereocomplex PLA with innovative applications in polymer industry.  相似文献

A putative recombinant enzyme from Dictyoglomus turgidum was characterized and immobilized on Duolite A568 beads. The native enzyme was a 46 kDa tetramer. Its activity was highest for l-rhamnose, indicating that it is an l-rhamnose isomerase. The maximum activities of both the free and immobilized enzymes for l-rhamnose isomerization were at pH 8.0 and 75 °C in the presence of Mn2+. Under these conditions, the half-lives of the free and immobilized enzymes were 28 and 112 h, respectively. In a packed-bed bioreactor, the immobilized enzyme produced an average of 130 g l-rhamnulose l?1 from 300 g l-rhamnose l?1 after 240 h at pH 8.0, 70 °C, and 0.6 h?1, with a productivity of 78 g l?1 h?1 and a conversion yield of 43 %. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report describing the enzymatic production of l-rhamnulose.  相似文献

A recombinant l-fucose isomerase from Caldicellulosiruptor saccharolyticus was purified as a single 68 kDa band with an activity of 76 U mg?1. The molecular mass of the native enzyme was 204 kDa as a trimer. The maximum activity for l-fucose isomerization was at pH 7 and 75°C in the presence of 1 mM Mn2+. Its half-life at 70°C was 6.1 h. For aldose substrates, the enzyme displayed activity in decreasing order for l-fucose, with a k cat of 11,910 min?1 and a K m of 140 mM, d-arabinose, d-altrose, and l-galactose. These aldoses were converted to the ketoses l-fuculose, d-ribulose, d-psicose, and l-tagatose, respectively, with 24, 24, 85, 55% conversion yields after 3 h.  相似文献

The d,d-transpeptidase activity of Penicillin Binding Proteins (PBPs) is essential to maintain cell wall integrity. PBPs catalyze the final step of the peptidoglycan synthesis by forming 4 → 3 cross-links between two peptide stems. Recently, a novel β-lactam resistance mechanism involving l,d-transpeptidases has been identified in Enterococcus faecium and Mycobacterium tuberculosis. In this resistance pathway, the classical 4 → 3 cross-links are replaced by 3 → 3 cross-links, whose formation are catalyzed by the l,d-transpeptidases. To date, only one class of the entire β-lactam family, the carbapenems, is able to inhibit the l,d-transpeptidase activity. Nevertheless, the specificity of this inactivation is still not understood. Hence, the study of this new transpeptidase family is of considerable interest in order to understand the mechanism of the l,d-transpeptidases inhibition by carbapenems. In this context, we present herein the backbone and side-chain 1H, 15N and 13C NMR assignment of the l,d-transpeptidase from Bacillus subtilis (LdtBs) in the apo and in the acylated form with a carbapenem, the imipenem.  相似文献

Recently, Corynebacterium glutamicum has been shown to exhibit gluconate bypass activity, with two key enzymes, glucose dehydrogenase (GDH) and gluconate kinase, that provides an alternate route to 6-phosphogluconate formation. In this study, gene disruption analysis was used to examine possible metabolic functions of three proteins encoded by open reading frames having significant sequence similarity to GDH of Bacillus subtilis. Chromosomal in-frame deletion of three genes (NCgl0281, NCgl2582, and NCgl2053) encoding putative NADP+-dependent oxidoreductases led to the absence of GDH activity and correlated with increased specific glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase and 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase activities. This finding suggested that enhanced carbon flux from glucose was directed toward the oxidative pentose phosphate (PP) pathway, when the mutant was cultivated with 6 % glucose. Consequently, the mutant showed 72.4 % increased intracellular NADPH and 66.3 % increased extracellular l-ornithine production. The enhanced activities of the oxidative PP pathway in the mutant explain both the increased intracellular NADPH and the high extracellular concentration of l-ornithine. Thus, the observed metabolic changes in this work corroborate the importance of NADPH in l-ornithine production from C. glutamicum.  相似文献

With the purpose of generating a microbial strain for l-ornithine production in Corynebacterium glutamicum, genes involved in the central carbon metabolism were inactivated so as to modulate the intracellular level of NADPH, and to evaluate their effects on l-ornithine production in C. glutamicum. Upon inactivation of the 6-phosphoglucoisomerase gene (pgi) in a C. glutamicum strain, the concomitant increase in intracellular NADPH concentrations from 2.55 to 5.75?mmol?g?1 (dry cell weight) was accompanied by reduced growth rate and l-ornithine production, suggesting that l-ornithine production is not solely limited by NADPH availability. In contrast, inactivation of the gluconate kinase gene (gntK) led to a 51.8?% increase in intracellular NADPH concentration, which resulted in a 49.9?% increase in l-ornithine production. These results indicate that excess NADPH is not necessarily rate-limiting, but is required for increased l-ornithine production in C. glutamicum.  相似文献

Hepatopancreatic brush border membrane vesicles (BBMV), made from Atlantic White shrimp (Litopenaeus setiferus), were used to characterize the transport properties of 3H-l-leucine influx by these membrane systems and how other essential amino acids and the cations, sodium and potassium, interact with this transport system. 3H-l-leucine uptake by BBMV was pH-sensitive and occurred against transient transmembrane concentration gradients in both Na+- and K+-containing incubation media, suggesting that either cation was capable of providing a driving force for amino acid accumulation. 3H-l-leucine uptake in NaCl or KCl media were each three times greater in acidic pH (pH 5.5) than in alkaline pH (pH 8.5). The essential amino acid, l-methionine, at 20 mM significantly (p < 0.0001) inhibited the 2-min uptakes of 1 mM 3H-l-leucine in both Na+- and K+-containing incubation media. The residual 3H-l-leucine uptake in the two media were significantly greater than zero (p < 0.001), but not significantly different from each other (p > 0.05) and may represent an l-methionine- and cation-independent transport system. 3H-l-leucine influxes in both NaCl and KCl incubation media were hyperbolic functions of [l-leucine], following the carrier-mediated Michaelis–Menten equation. In NaCl, 3H-l-leucine influx displayed a low apparent K M (high affinity) and low apparent J max, while in KCl the transport exhibited a high apparent K M (low affinity) and high apparent J max. l-methionine or l-phenylalanine (7 and 20 mM) were competitive inhibitors of 3H-l-leucine influxes in both NaCl and KCl media, producing a significant (p < 0.01) increase in 3H-l-leucine influx K M, but no significant response in 3H-l-leucine influx J max. Potassium was a competitive inhibitor of sodium co-transport with 3H-l-leucine, significantly (p < 0.01) increasing 3H-l-leucine influx K M in the presence of sodium, but having negligible effect on 3H-l-leucine influx J max in the same medium. These results suggest that shrimp BBMV transport 3H-l-leucine by a single l-methionine- and l-phenylalanine-shared carrier system that is enhanced by acidic pH and can be stimulated by either Na+ or K+ acting as co-transport drivers binding to shared activator sites.  相似文献

We constructed beta-glucosidase (BGL)-displaying Corynebacterium glutamicum, and direct l-lysine fermentation from cellobiose was demonstrated. After screening active BGLs, Sde1394, which is a BGL from Saccharophagus degradans, was successfully displayed on the C. glutamicum cell surface using porin as an anchor protein, and cellobiose was directly assimilated as a carbon source. The optical density at 600 nm of BGL-displaying C. glutamicum grown on cellobiose as a carbon source reached 23.5 after 48 h of cultivation, which was almost the same as that of glucose after 24 h of cultivation. Finally, Sde1394-displaying C. glutamicum produced 1.08 g/l of l-lysine from 20 g/l of cellobiose after 4 days of cultivation, which was about threefold higher than the amount of produced l-lysine using BGL-secretory C. glutamicum strains (0.38 g/l after 5 days of cultivation). This is the first report on amino acid production using cellobiose as a carbon source by BGL-expressing C. glutamicum.  相似文献

Enantiomerically pure l-homophenylalanine (l-HPA) is a key building block for the synthesis of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors and other chiral pharmaceuticals. Among the processes developed for the l-HPA production, biocatalytic synthesis employing phenylalanine dehydrogenase has been proven as the most promising route. However, similar to other dehydrogenase-catalyzed reactions, the viability of this process is markedly affected by insufficient substrate loading and high costs of the indispensable cofactors. In the present work, a highly efficient and economic biocatalytic process for l-HPA was established by coupling genetically modified phenylalanine dehydrogenase and formate dehydrogenase. Combination of fed-batch substrate addition and a continuous product removal greatly increased substrate loading and cofactor utilization. After systemic optimization, 40 g (0.22 mol) of keto acid substrate was transformed to l-HPA within 24 h and a total of 0.2 mM NAD+ was reused effectively in eight cycles of fed-batch operation, consequently giving an average substrate concentration of 510 mM and a productivity of 84.1 g l?1 day?1 for l-HPA. The present study provides an efficient and feasible enzymatic process for the production of l-HPA and a general solution for the increase of substrate loading.  相似文献
