烟酸转磷酸核糖激酶和丙酮酸羧化酶共表达对大肠杆菌BA002产丁二酸的影响

大肠杆菌BA002是敲除了乳酸脱氢酶的编码基因 (ldhA) 和丙酮酸-甲酸裂解酶的编码基因 (pflB) 的工程菌。厌氧条件下NADH不能及时再生为NAD+,引起胞内辅酶NAD(H)的不平衡,最终导致厌氧条件下菌株不能利用葡萄糖生长代谢。pncB是烟酸转磷酸核糖激酶 (NAPRTase) 的编码基因,通过过量表达pncB基因能够提高NAD(H)总量与维持合适的NADH/NAD+,从而恢复了厌氧条件下重组菌E. coli BA014 (BA002/pTrc99a-pncB) 的生长和产丁二酸的性能。然而,BA014在厌氧发酵过程中有大量丙酮酸积累,为进一步提高菌株的丁二酸生产能力,减少副产物丙酮酸的生成,共表达NAPRTase和来自于乳酸乳球菌 NZ9000中丙酮酸羧化酶 (PYC) 的编码基因pyc,构建了重组菌E. coli BA016 (BA002/pTrc99a-pncB-pyc)。3 L发酵罐结果表明,BA016发酵112 h后,共消耗了35.00 g/L的葡萄糖。发酵结束时,菌体OD600为4.64,产生了25.09 g/L丁二酸。通过共表达pncB和pyc基因,使BA016的丙酮酸积累进一步降低,丁二酸产量进一步提高。     

Effects of overexpression of NAPRTase,NAMNAT, and NAD synthetase in the NAD(H) biosynthetic pathways on the NAD(H) pool,NADH/NAD+ ratio,and succinic acid production with different carbon sources by metabolically engineered Escherichia coli

Escherichia coli BA002, the ldhA and pflB deletion strain, cannot utilize glucose anaerobically due to the inability to regenerate NAD⁺. To regulate NAD(H) pool size and NADH/NAD⁺ ratio, overexpression of the enzymes in the NAD(H) biosynthetic pathways in BA002 was investigated. The results clearly demonstrate that the increased NAD(H) pool size and the decreased NADH/NAD⁺ ratio improved the glucose consumption and cell growth, which improved succinic acid production. When the pncB and the nadD genes were co-overexpressed in CA102, the ratio of NADH/NAD⁺ was decreased from 0.60 to 0.12, and the concentration of NAD(H) was the highest among that of all the strains. Moreover, the dry cell weight (DCW), glucose consumption, and the concentration of succinic acid in CA102 were also the highest. Based on the sufficient NAD⁺ supply after gene modification in the NAD(H) biosynthetic pathways, reductive carbon sources with different amounts of NADH can further change the distribution of metabolites. When sorbitol was used as a carbon source in CA102, the byproducts were lower than those of glucose fermentation, and the yield of succinic acid was increased.     

Model-assisted formate dehydrogenase-O (fdoH) gene knockout for enhanced succinate production in Escherichia coli from glucose and glycerol carbon sources

Succinic acid is an important platform chemical that has broad applications and is been listed as one of the top twelve bio-based chemicals produced from biomass by the US Department of Energy. The metabolic role of Escherichia coli formate dehydrogenase-O (fdoH) under anaerobic conditions in relation to succinic acid production remained largely unspecified. Herein we report, what are to our knowledge, the first metabolic fdoH gene knockout that have enhanced succinate production using glucose and glycerol substrates in E. coli. Using the most recent E. coli reconstruction iJO1366, we engineered its host metabolism to enhance the anaerobic succinate production by deleting the fdoH gene, which blocked H⁺ conduction across the mutant cell membrane for the enhanced succinate production. The engineered mutant strain BMS4 showed succinate production of 2.05 g l^?1 (41.2-fold in 7 days) from glycerol and .39 g l^?1 (6.2-fold in 1 day) from glucose. This work revealed that a single deletion of the fdoH gene is sufficient to increase succinate production in E. coli from both glucose and glycerol substrates.     

Conversion of glycerol to 1,3-dihydroxyacetone by glycerol dehydrogenase co-expressed with an NADH oxidase for cofactor regeneration

Objectives

To investigate the efficiency of a cofactor regeneration enzyme co-expressed with a glycerol dehydrogenase for the production of 1,3-dihydroxyacetone (DHA).

Results

In vitro biotransformation of glycerol was achieved with the cell-free extracts containing recombinant GlyDH (glycerol dehydrogenase from Escherichia coli), LDH (lactate dehydrogenase form Bacillus subtilis) or LpNox1 (NADH oxidase from Lactobacillus pentosus), giving DHA at 1.3 g l^?1 (GlyDH/LDH) and 2.2 g l^?1 (GlyDH/LpNox1) with total turnover number (TTN) of NAD⁺ recycling of 6039 and 11100, respectively. Whole cells of E. coli (GlyDH–LpNox1) co-expressing both GlyDH and LpNox1 were constructed and converted 10 g glycerol l^?1 to DHA at 0.2–0.5 g l^?1 in the presence of zero to 2 mM exogenous NAD⁺. The cell free extract of E. coli (GlyDH–LpNox) converted glycerol (2–50 g l^?1) to DHA from 0.5 to 4.0 g l^?1 (8–25 % conversion) without exogenous NAD⁺.

Conclusions

The disadvantage of the expensive consumption of NAD⁺ for the production of DHA has been overcome.

     

Effects of redox potential control on succinic acid production by engineered Escherichia coli under anaerobic conditions

The effects of oxido-reduction potential (ORP) control on succinic acid production have been investigated in Escherichia coli LL016. In LL016, two CO₂ fixation pathways were achieved and NAD⁺ supply was enhanced by co-expression of heterologous pyruvate carboxylase (PYC) and nicotinic acid phosphoribosyltransferase (NAPRTase). During anaerobic fermentation, cell growth and metabolite distribution were changed with redox potential levels in the range of −200 to −400 mV. From the results, the ORP level of −400 mV was preferable, which resulted in the high succinic acid concentration (28.6 g/L) and high succinic acid productivity (0.33 g/L/h). Meanwhile, the yield of succinic acid at the ORP level of −400 mV was 39% higher than that at the ORP level of −200 mV. In addition, a higher NADH/NAD⁺ ratio and increased enzyme activities were also achieved by regulating the culture to a more reductive environment, which further enhanced the succinic acid production.     

Enhancement of NAD(H) pool for formation of oxidized biochemicals in <Emphasis Type="Italic">Escherichia coli</Emphasis>

The NAD⁺/NADH ratio and the total NAD(H) play important roles for whole-cell biochemical redox transformations. After the carbon source is exhausted, the degradation of NAD(H) could contribute to a decline in the rate of a desired conversion. In this study, methods to slow the native rate of NAD(H) degradation were examined using whole-cell Escherichia coli with two model oxidative NAD⁺-dependent biotransformations. A high phosphate concentration (50 mM) was observed to slow NAD(H) degradation. We also constructed E. coli strains with deletions in genes coding several enzymes involved in NAD⁺ degradation. In shake-flask experiments, the total NAD(H) concentration positively correlated with conversion of xylitol to l-xylulose by xylitol 4-dehydrogenase, and the greatest conversion (80%) was observed using MG1655 nadR nudC mazG/pZE12-xdh/pCS27-nox. Controlled 1-L batch processes comparing E. coli nadR nudC mazG with a wild-type background strain demonstrated a 30% increase in final l-xylulose concentration (5.6 vs. 7.9 g/L) and a 25% increase in conversion (0.53 vs. 0.66 g/g). MG1655 nadR nudC mazG was also examined for the conversion of galactitol to l-tagatose by galactitol 2-dehydrogenase. A batch process using 15 g/L glycerol and 10 g/L galactitol generated over 9.4 g/L l-tagatose, corresponding to 90% conversion and a yield of 0.95 g l-tagatose/g galactitol consumed. The results demonstrate the value of minimizing NAD(H) degradation as a means to improve NAD⁺-dependent biotransformations.     

CO2 fixation for succinic acid production by engineered Escherichia coli co-expressing pyruvate carboxylase and nicotinic acid phosphoribosyltransferase

In wild-type Escherichia coli, 1 mol of CO₂ was fixated in 1 mol of succinic acid generation anaerobically. The key reaction in this sequence, catalyzed by phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PPC), is carboxylation of phosphoenolpyruvate to oxaloacetate. Although inactivation of pyruvate formate-lyase and lactate dehydrogenase is found to enhance the PPC pathway for succinic acid production, it results in excessive pyruvic acid accumulation and limits regeneration of NAD⁺ from NADH formed in glycolysis. In other organisms, oxaloacetate is synthesized by carboxylation of pyruvic acid by pyruvate carboxylase (PYC) during glucose metabolism, and in E. coli, nicotinic acid phosphoribosyltransferase (NAPRTase) is a rate-limiting enzyme of the NAD(H) synthesis system. To achieve the NADH/NAD⁺ ratio decrease as well as carbon flux redistribution, co-expression of NAPRTase and PYC in a pflB, ldhA, and ppc deletion strain resulted in a significant increase in cell mass and succinic acid production under anaerobic conditions. After 72 h, 14.5 g L⁻¹ of glucose was consumed to generate 12.08 g L⁻¹ of succinic acid. Furthermore, under optimized condition of CO₂ supply, the succinic acid productivity and the CO₂ fixation rate reached 223.88 mg L⁻¹ h⁻¹ and 83.48 mg L⁻¹ h⁻¹, respectively.     

Improved succinate production in Corynebacterium glutamicum by engineering glyoxylate pathway and succinate export system

A dual route for anaerobic succinate production was engineered into Corynebacterium glutamicum. The glyoxylate pathway was reconstructed by overexpressing isocitrate lyase, malate synthase and citrate synthase. The engineered strain produced succinate with a yield of 1.34 mol (mol glucose)^?1. Further overexpression of succinate exporter, SucE, increased succinate yield to 1.43 mol (mol glucose)^?1. Metabolic flux analysis revealed that the glyoxylate pathway was further activated by engineering succinate export system. Using an anaerobic fed-batch fermentation process, the final strain produced 926 mM succinate (= 109 g l^?1) with an overall volumetric productivity of 9.4 mM h^?1 and an average yield of 1.32 mol (mol glucose)^?1.     

Regulatory properties of malic enzyme in the oleaginous yeast, Yarrowia lipolytica, and its non-involvement in lipid accumulation

Malic enzyme (EC 1.1.1.40) converts l-malate to pyruvate and CO₂ providing NADPH for metabolism especially for lipid biosynthesis in oleaginous microorganisms. However, its role in the oleaginous yeast, Yarrowia lipolytica, is unclear. We have cloned the malic enzyme gene (YALI0E18634g) from Y. lipolytica into pET28a, expressed it in Escherichia coli and purified the recombinant protein (YlME). YlME used NAD⁺ as the primary cofactor. K_m values for NAD⁺ and NADP⁺ were 0.63 and 3.9 mM, respectively. Citrate, isocitrate and α-ketoglutaric acid (>5 mM) were inhibitory while succinate (5–15 mM) increased NADP⁺- but not NAD⁺-dependent activity. To determine if fatty acid biosynthesis could be increased in Y. lipolytica by providing additional NADPH from an NADP⁺-dependent malic enzyme, the malic enzyme gene (mce2) from an oleaginous fungus, Mortierella alpina, was expressed in Y. lipolytica. No significant changes occurred in lipid content or fatty acid profiles suggesting that malic enzyme is not the main source of NADPH for lipid accumulation in Y. lipolytica.     

Analysis of calorimetric data for isodesmic self-associating systems.

ATP and respiration (NADH)-driven NAD(P)⁺ transhydrogenase (EC 1.6.1.1) activities are low in membranes from Escherichia coli cultured on yeast extract medium (17 and 21 nmol/min × mg) but high on glucose (82 and 142 nmol/min × mg). The ATPase and respiratory activities in both cases appeared comparable. Growth of the bacteria in yeast extract medium followed by washing and replacement into a glucose medium showed that after 3 h the energy-linked and energy-independent NAD(P)⁺ transhydrogenase (reduction of acetylpyridine NAD⁺ by NADPH) activities had appeared simultaneously. Incorporation of chloramphenicol or omission of glucose in the induction medium resulted in no increase in these activities indicating that de novo protein synthesis is required for the induction of energy-linked and -independent NAD(P)⁺ transhydrogenase. It was found that the K_m values for acetylpyridine NAD⁺ and NADPH for the energy-independent reaction in membranes from glucose grown cells (143 and 62 μm) were similar to those in membranes from cells grown on glucose-yeast extract (135 and 45 μm), respectively, but the maximum velocity at infinite acetyl pyridine NAD⁺ and NADPH increased from 353 to 2175 nmol/min × mg. Furthermore, the membrane-bound NAD(P)⁺ transhydrogenase in glucose-yeast extract grown cells showed substrate inhibition at high NADPH and low acetyl pyridine NAD⁺ levels. Further kinetic data demonstrate that the mechanism of the energy-independent NAD(P)⁺ transhydrogenase in E. coli is similar to that of the mitochondrial enzyme and exhibits similar responses to competitive inhibitors at the NAD⁺ and NADPH sites.     

Altered redox status in Escherichia coli cells enhances pyruvate production in pH-adjusting culture with a fermenter

Improvements in pyruvate production process were examined using Escherichia coli BW25113?pta/pHfdh strain carrying the formate dehydrogenase gene of Mycobacterium vaccae to change the redox status of the cells. Glucose and formate concentrations, and oxygenation levels determined previously in a shake-flask culture were applied for pyruvate production in a 1 l fermenter. However, pyruvate was not produced under the examined conditions. Detailed pH measurements during the fermenter culture using CaCO₃ revealed that maintaining the pH value around 6.0 plays an important role in stabilizing the pyruvate accumulation. In the pH-adjusting culture around 6.0 with NaOH solution, the concentration and yield of pyruvate were 8.96 g l^?1 and 0.48 g pyruvate g glucose^?1, respectively, which were significantly higher than the values reported in the shake-flask culture (6.79 g l^?1 and 0.32 g pyruvate g glucose^?1).     

Regulation of succinate oxidation by NAD+ in mitochondria purified from potato tubers

NAD⁺ supplied to purified Solanum tuberosum mitochondria caused progressive inhibition of succinate oxidation in State 3. This inhibition was especially pronounced at alkaline pH and at low succinate concentrations. Glutamate counteracted the inhibition. NAD⁺ promoted oxaloacetate accumulation in State 3; supplied oxaloacetate inhibited O₂ uptake in the presence of succinate much more severely in State 3 than in State 4. NAD reduction linked to succinate oxidation by ATP-dependent reverse electron transport was likewise inhibited by oxaloacetate. We conclude that NAD⁺-induced inhibition of succinate oxidation is due to an inhibition of succinate dehydrogenase resulting from increased accumulation of oxaloacetate generated from malate oxidation via malate dehydrogenase. The results are discussed in the context of the known regulatory characteristics of plant succinate dehydrogenase.     

Structure and activity of the NAD(P)+‐dependent succinate semialdehyde dehydrogenase YneI from Salmonella typhimurium

Aldehyde dehydrogenases are found in all organisms and play an important role in the metabolic conversion and detoxification of endogenous and exogenous aldehydes. Genomes of many organisms including Escherichia coli and Salmonella typhimurium encode two succinate semialdehyde dehydrogenases with low sequence similarity and different cofactor preference (YneI and GabD). Here, we present the crystal structure and biochemical characterization of the NAD(P)⁺‐dependent succinate semialdehyde dehydrogenase YneI from S. typhimurium. This enzyme shows high activity and affinity toward succinate semialdehyde and exhibits substrate inhibition at concentrations of SSA higher than 0.1 mM. YneI can use both NAD⁺ and NADP⁺ as cofactors, although affinity to NAD⁺ is 10 times higher. High resolution crystal structures of YneI were solved in a free state (1.85 Å) and in complex with NAD⁺ (1.90 Å) revealing a two domain protein with the active site located in the interdomain interface. The NAD⁺ molecule is bound in the long channel with its nicotinamide ring positioned close to the side chain of the catalytic Cys268. Site‐directed mutagenesis demonstrated that this residue, as well as the conserved Trp136, Glu365, and Asp426 are important for activity of YneI, and that the conserved Lys160 contributes to the enzyme preference to NAD⁺. Our work has provided further insight into the molecular mechanisms of substrate selectivity and activity of succinate semialdehyde dehydrogenases. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.     

An engineering Escherichia coli mutant with high succinic acid production in the defined medium obtained by the atmospheric and room temperature plasma

Escherichia coli BA002, the ldhA and pflB deletion strain, cannot utilize glucose in nutrient-rich or minimal media anaerobically. Co-expression of heterologous pyruvate carboxylase and nicotinic acid phosphoribosyltransferase in BA002 resulted in a significant increase in cell mass and succinic acid production. Nevertheless, the resultant strain, BA016, still could not grow in a defined medium without tryptone and yeast extract. To solve the problem, a novel atmospheric and room temperature plasma mutation method was employed to generate mutants which can grow in the defined medium. A mutant designated as LL016 was observed to be the best strain that regained the capacity of cell growth and glucose utilization in a defined medium anaerobically. After 120 h of fermentation in the defined medium, 35.0 g/L of glucose was consumed to generate 25.2 g/L of succinic acid. Furthermore, with the highest glucose consumption rate in the dual-phase fermentation, the yield of succinic acid in LL016 reached 0.87 g/g, which was higher than that observed in other strains. From an industrial standpoint, the defined medium is much cheaper than LB medium, which shows a great potential usage for the economical production of succinic acid by LL016.     

Two-stage fermentation process for enhanced mannitol production using Candida magnoliae mutant R9

Mutants of Candida magnoliae NCIM 3470 were generated by treatment of ultra-violet radiations, ethyl methyl sulphonate and N-methyl-N′-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine. Mutants with higher reductase activity were screened by means of 2,3,5-triphenyl tetrazolium chloride agar plate assay. Among the screened mutants, the mutant R9 produced maximum mannitol (i.e. 46 g l^?1) in liquid fermentation medium containing 250 g l^?1 glucose and hence was selected for further experiments. Preliminary optimization studies were carried out on shake-flask level which increased the mannitol production to 60 g l^?1 in liquid fermentation medium containing 300 g l^?1 glucose. A two-stage fermentation process comprising of growth phase and production phase was employed. During the growth phase, glucose was supplemented and aerobic conditions were maintained. Thereafter, the production phase was initiated by supplementing fructose and switching to anaerobic conditions by discontinuing aeration and decreasing the speed of agitation. The strategy of two-stage fermentation significantly enhanced the production of mannitol up to 240 g l^?1, which is the highest among all fermentative production processes and corresponds to 81 % yield and 4 g l^?1 h^?1 productivity without formation of any by-product.     

Construction of lactose-consuming Saccharomyces cerevisiae for lactose fermentation into ethanol fuel

Two lactose-consuming diploid Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains, AY-51024A and AY-51024M, were constructed by expressing the LAC4 and LAC12 genes of Kluyveromyces marxianus in the host strain AY-5. In AY-51024A, both genes were targeted to the ATH1 and NTH1 gene-encoding regions to abolish the activity of acid/neutral trehalase. In AY-51024M, both genes were respectively integrated into the MIG1 and NTH1 gene-encoding regions to relieve glucose repression. Physiologic studies of the two transformants under anaerobic cultivations in glucose and galactose media indicated that the expression of both LAC genes did not physiologically burden the cells, except for AY-51024A in glucose medium. Galactose consumption was initiated at higher glucose concentrations in the MIG1 deletion strain AY-51024M than in the corresponding wild-type strain and AY-51024A, wherein galactose was consumed until glucose was completely depleted in the mixture. In lactose medium, the Sp. growth rates of AY-51024A and AY-51024M under anaerobic shake-flasks were 0.025 and 0.067 h^?1, respectively. The specific lactose uptake rate and ethanol production of AY-51024M were 2.50 g lactose g CDW^?1 h^?1 and 23.4 g l^?1, respectively, whereas those of AY-51024A were 0.98 g lactose g CDW^?1 h^?1 and 24.3 g lactose g CDW^?1 h^?1, respectively. In concentrated cheese whey powder solutions, AY-51024M produced 63.3 g l^?1 ethanol from approximately 150 g l^?1 initial lactose in 120 h, conversely, AY-51024A consumed 63.7 % of the initial lactose and produced 35.9 g l^?1 ethanol. Therefore, relieving glucose repression is an effective strategy for constructing lactose-consuming S. cerevisiae.     

Der Einfluß der Kulturbedingungen auf den Nicotinamid-Adenin-Dinucleotid(phosphat)-Gehalt in Zellen von Rhodospirillum rubrum

Zusammenfassung In Zellen von R. rubrum war das Verhältnis von oxydiertem zu reduziertem NAD(P) vom Sauerstoffpartialdruck im Medium, der Lichtintensität und der Nährbodenzusammensetzung abhängig. In ruhenden Kulturen unter aeroben Bedingungen im Licht oder im Dunkeln und anaerob bei hoher Lichtintensität, wenn der ATP-Pool in den Zellen groß ist, beobachtete man einen relativ hohen Wert für das Verhältnis von NAD(P)⁺/NAD(P)H. Unter Kulturbedingungen, bei denen der ATP-Gewinn der Zellen gering ist (anaerob Schwachlicht oder anaerob Dunkel), sank das Verhältnis von NAD(P)⁺/NAD(P)H ab. Die niedrigsten Werte für das Verhältnis von NAD(P)⁺/NAD(P)H wurden dementsprechend in anaerober Dunkelkultur, die höchsten in aerober Lichtkultur gefunden.Anaerob im Dunkeln war der NAD(P)H-Spiegel auch vom Substrat abhängig: mit Fructose oder ohne Substrat beobachtete man einen sehr großen NAD(P)H-Pool in den Zellen; nach Zugabe von Acetat, Succinat, Pyruvat oder Malat sank der Spiegel der reduzierten Coenzyme ab.In wachsenden Kulturen (außer anaerob im Dunkeln) nahm die relative Konzentration von NAD⁺ und der NADP⁺-Pool im Vergleich zu ruhenden Zellen stark zu (3-5fach).Änderungen im Verhältnis von NAD⁺/NADH und von NADP⁺/NADPH waren aber nicht unter allen Kulturbedingungen direkt korreliert.Es wird diskutiert, wieweit das Adenylatsystem und das NAD(P)-System einen regulativen Einfluß auf die Bacteriochlorophyll-Synthese und die Morphogenese bei Athiorhodaceae haben.

The influence of culture conditions on the NAD(P) content of Rhodospirillum rubrum cells

Summary In cells of R. rubrum the ratio of oxidized to reduced NAD(P) depended on the oxygen pressure in the medium, the light intensity, and the composition of the medium. The ratio of NAD(P)⁺/NAD(P)H was high under conditions when the ATP-pool in the cell is large, viz. in resting cultures either kept aerobically in the light or in the dark or kept anaerobically in strong light. The quotient NAD(P)⁺/NAD(P)H decreased under conditions of reduced ATP-synthesis in the cells (anaerobic in dimlight or in the dark). Consequently, the lowest NAD(P)⁺/NAD(P)H value was observed in anaerobic dark cultures, the highest in aerobic light cultures.Under anaerobic conditions in the dark, the NAD(P)H level depended also on the substrate: with fructose or without any substrate, a large NAD(P)H pool was observed; the level of reduced coenzymes decreased upon addition of acetate, succinate, pyruvate, or malate.In growing cultures (except under anaerobic conditions in the dark) the relative concentration of NAD⁺ and the NADP⁺ pool showed a considerable increase (3 to 5 fold), as compared with resting cells. However, the changes in the proportions of NAD⁺/NADH and NADP⁺/NADPH were not directly correlated under all culture conditions.The regulative influence of the adenylate and the NAD(P) systems on the synthesis of bacteriochlorophyll and morphogenesis in Athiorhodaceae is discussed.

Nanoparticle-tethered NAD+ with in situ cofactor regeneration

A new and simple route for the preparation of immobilized NAD⁺ on carboxyl-activated silica nanoparticles activated by γ-aminpropyltriethoxysilane and glutaric anhydride was developed. In addition, formate dehydrogenase, keto-reductase and the silica nanoparticle-attached NAD⁺ were applied to catalyze the coupled reactions for production of l-lactate with the cofactor regenerated within the reaction cycle. As indicated by thermogravimetric analysis and FT-IR, the silica nanoparticles were successfully activated and the loading of carboxyl groups was 0.53 mmol g^?1 particle. The amount of immobilized NAD⁺ on the support was 73 mg g^?1 particle. With 0.2 M pyruvate and 3 M formate, 0.16 M l-lactate was produced after the coupled reactions. The immobilized system showed excellent efficiency and stabilities in recycling, and it retained 60 % residual activity even after six reuses.
