Functional Characterization of the Xanthophyllomyces dendrorhous Farnesyl Pyrophosphate Synthase and Geranylgeranyl Pyrophosphate Synthase Encoding Genes That Are Involved in the Synthesis of Isoprenoid Precursors

The yeast Xanthophyllomyces dendrorhous synthesizes the carotenoid astaxanthin, which has applications in biotechnology because of its antioxidant and pigmentation properties. However, wild-type strains produce too low amounts of carotenoids to be industrially competitive. Considering this background, it is indispensable to understand how the synthesis of astaxanthin is controlled and regulated in this yeast. In this work, the steps leading to the synthesis of the carotenoid precursor geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate (GGPP, C₂₀) in X. dendrorhous from isopentenyl pyrophosphate (IPP, C₅) and dimethylallyl pyrophosphate (DMAPP, C₅) was characterized. Two prenyl transferase encoding genes, FPS and crtE, were expressed in E. coli. The enzymatic assays using recombinant E. coli protein extracts demonstrated that FPS and crtE encode a farnesyl pyrophosphate (FPP, C₁₅) synthase and a GGPP-synthase, respectively. X. dendrorhous FPP-synthase produces geranyl pyrophosphate (GPP, C₁₀) from IPP and DMAPP and FPP from IPP and GPP, while the X. dendrorhous GGPP-synthase utilizes only FPP and IPP as substrates to produce GGPP. Additionally, the FPS and crtE genes were over-expressed in X. dendrorhous, resulting in an increase of the total carotenoid production. Because the parental strain is diploid, the deletion of one of the alleles of these genes did not affect the total carotenoid production, but the composition was significantly altered. These results suggest that the over-expression of these genes might provoke a higher carbon flux towards carotenogenesis, most likely involving an earlier formation of a carotenogenic enzyme complex. Conversely, the lower carbon flux towards carotenogenesis in the deletion mutants might delay or lead to a partial formation of a carotenogenic enzyme complex, which could explain the accumulation of astaxanthin carotenoid precursors in these mutants. In conclusion, the FPS and the crtE genes represent good candidates to manipulate to favor carotenoid biosynthesis in X. dendrorhous.

A Sweetpotato Geranylgeranyl Pyrophosphate Synthase Gene,IbGGPS, Increases Carotenoid Content and Enhances Osmotic Stress Tolerance in Arabidopsis thaliana

Sweetpotato highly produces carotenoids in storage roots. In this study, a cDNA encoding geranylgeranyl phyrophosphate synthase (GGPS), named IbGGPS, was isolated from sweetpotato storage roots. Green fluorescent protein (GFP) was fused to the C-terminus of IbGGPS to obtain an IbGGPS-GFP fusion protein that was transiently expressed in both epidermal cells of onion and leaves of tobacco. Confocal microscopic analysis determined that the IbGGPS-GFP protein was localized to specific areas of the plasma membrane of onion and chloroplasts in tobacco leaves. The coding region of IbGGPS was cloned into a binary vector under the control of 35S promoter and then transformed into Arabidopsis thaliana to obtain transgenic plants. High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis showed a significant increase of total carotenoids in transgenic plants. The seeds of transgenic and wild-type plants were germinated on an agar medium supplemented with polyethylene glycol (PEG). Transgenic seedlings grew significantly longer roots than wild-type ones did. Further enzymatic analysis showed an increased activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) in transgenic seedlings. In addition, the level of malondialdehyde (MDA) was reduced in transgenics. qRT-PCR analysis showed altered expressions of several genes involved in the carotenoid biosynthesis in transgenic plants. These data results indicate that IbGGPS is involved in the biosynthesis of carotenoids in sweetpotato storage roots and likely associated with tolerance to osmotic stress.

Molecular Cloning and Expression of a Xylanase Gene from Bacillus polymyxa in Escherichia coli

Genomic fragments of Bacillus polymyxa derived from separate and complete digestion by EcoRI, HindIII, and BamHI were ligated into the corresponding sites of pBR322, and the resulting chimeric plasmids were transformed into Escherichia coli. Of 6,000 transformants screened, 1 (pBPX-277) produced a clear halo on Remazol brilliant blue xylan plates. The insert in the pBPX-277 recombinant, identified as an 8.0-kilobase BamHI fragment of B. polymyxa, was subsequently subjected to extensive mapping and a series of subclonings into pUC19. A 2.9-kilobase BamHI-EcoRI subfragment was found to code for xylanase activity. Xylanase activity expressed by E. coli harboring the cloned gene was located primarily in the periplasm and corresponded to one of two distinct xylanases produced by B. polymyxa. Xylanase expression by the cloned gene occurred in the absence of xylan and was reduced by glucose and xylose. Southern blot hybridization with the cloned fragment as a probe against complete genomic digests of the bacilli B. polymyxa, B. circulans, and B. subtilis revealed that the cloned xylanase gene was unique to B. polymyxa. The xylanase expressed by the cloned gene had a molecular weight of approximately 48,000 and an isoelectric point of 4.9.

Cloning of a Novel Aldo-Keto Reductase Gene from Klebsiella sp. Strain F51-1-2 and Its Functional Expression in Escherichia coli

A soil bacterium capable of metabolizing organophosphorus compounds by reducing the P=S group in the molecules was taxonomically identified as Klebsiella sp. strain F51-1-2. The gene involved in the reduction of organophosphorus compounds was cloned from this strain by the shotgun technique, and the deduced protein (named AKR5F1) showed homology to members of the aldo-keto reductase (AKR) superfamily. The intact coding region for AKR5F1 was subcloned into vector pET28a and overexpressed in Escherichia coli BL21(DE3). Recombinant His₆-tagged AKR5F1 was purified in one step using Ni-nitrilotriacetic acid affinity chromatography. Assays for cofactor specificity indicated that reductive transformation of organophosphorus compounds by the recombinant AKR5F1 specifically required NADH. The kinetic constants of the purified recombinant AKR5F1 toward six thion organophosphorus compounds were determined. For example, the K_m and k_cat values of reductive transformation of malathion by the purified recombinant AKR5F1 are 269.5 ± 47.0 μΜ and 25.7 ± 1.7 min⁻¹, respectively. Furthermore, the reductive transformation of organophosphorus compounds can be largely explained by structural modeling.
