Birnbaum, Jerome (University of Cincinnati, Cincinnati, Ohio), and Herman C. Lichstein. Metabolism of biotin and analogues of biotin by microorganisms. IV. Degradation of biotin, oxybiotin, and desthiobiotin by Lactobacillus casei. J. Bacteriol. 92:925-930. 1966.-Lactobacillus casei degrades biotin when it is present in excess to products not utilizable for growth by L. plantarum or Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Degrading activity was initiated in the early stationary phase and was controlled by the pH of the medium. Nonproliferating cells, grown previously in excess biotin for 40 hr, metabolized oxybiotin and desthiobiotin as well as biotin. Cells grown in low biotin, or in excess biotin for 20 hr, did not degrade either analogue. Oxybiotin was 50% as active as biotin for growth, whereas desthiobiotin acted as a competitive inhibitor. Cells grown in excess biotin for 40 hr, but not 20 hr, overcame the inhibitory effect of desthiobiotin, when subcultured to media containing a normally inhibitory concentration of the analogue. Moreover, the level of desthiobiotin dropped rapidly during the first 4 to 6 hr before growth ensued. The data indicate that growth in excess biotin enables L. casei to degrade desthiobiotin and, thereby, to overcome the inhibitory effect of the analogue. 相似文献

Birnbaum, Jerome (University of Cincinnati, Cinncinati, Ohio), and Herman C. Lichstein. Metabolism of biotin and analogues of biotin by microorganisms. II. Further studies on the conversion of d-biotin to biotin vitamers by Lactobacillus plantarum. J. Bacteriol. 92:913-919. 1966.-Lactobacillus plantarum growing in excess biotin converts a portion to two vitamers (combinable and uncombinable with avidin) not utilizable for growth. These were detected by differential yeast-lactobacillus assay. In the present study, suspensions of 12- and 72-hr cells showed no converting activity. Vitamer formation by nonproliferating 24-hr cells required glucose and exhibited a lag; 17-hr cells showed neither a lag nor a glucose requirement. Iodoacetate and chloramphenicol inhibited vitamer formation by 24-hr cells, but had no effect on 17-hr cells. Addition of hydrolyzed casein or preincubation in biotin decreased the lag and enhanced vitamer formation in 24-hr cells, but had no effect in 17-hr cells. Apparently, 17-hr cells contain the converting enzymes which degenerate as growth proceeds; the lag exhibited by 24-hr cells represents the time necessary to reform the enzymes. Equal amounts of the two vitamers were formed in 17-hr cells; only the avidin-combinable form was produced initially by 24-hr cells, unless hydrolyzed casein was present. Electrophoresis revealed that the avidin-combinable vitamer has the same charge as biotin,whereas the uncombinable form possesses both positive and negative groups. Column chromatography was used to separate the avidin uncombinable material from biotin and the avidin-combinable form. L. plantarum was unable to accumulate the avidin-uncombinable vitamer under conditions permitting good biotin accumulation. It was concluded that L. plantarum sequentially converts biotin to avidin-combinable and -uncombinable vitamers, the latter being impermeable to the cells. 相似文献

The characteristics of the biotin transport mechanism of Saccharomyces cerevisiae were investigated in nonproliferating cells. Microbiological and radioisotope assays were employed to measure biotin uptake. The vitamin existed intracellularly in both free and bound forms. Free biotin was extracted by boiling water. Chromatography of the free extract showed it to consist entirely of d-biotin. Cellular bound biotin was released by treating cells with 6 n H(2)SO(4). The rate of biotin uptake was linear with time for 10 min, reaching a maximum at about 20 min followed by a gradual loss of accumulated free vitamin from the cells. Biotin was not degraded or converted to vitamers during uptake. Transport was temperature- and pH-dependent, optimum conditions for uptake being 30 C and pH 4.0. Glucose markedly stimulated biotin transport. In its presence, large intracellular free-biotin concentration gradients were established. Iodoacetate inhibited the glucose stimulation of biotin uptake. The rate of vitamin transport increased in a linear fashion with increasing cell mass. The transport system was saturated with increasing concentrations of the vitamin. The apparent K(m) for uptake was 3.23 x 10(-7)m. Uptake of radioactive biotin was inhibited by unlabeled biotin and a number of analogues including homobiotin, desthiobiotin, oxybiotin, norbiotin, and biotin sulfone. Proline, hydroxyproline, and 7,8-diaminopelargonic acid did not inhibit uptake. Unlabeled biotin and desthiobiotin exchanged with accumulated intracellular (14)C-biotin, whereas hydroxyproline did not. 相似文献

Use of a yeast-lactobacillus differential microbiological assay permitted investigation into the synthesis of biotin vitamers by a variety of bacteria. A major portion of the biotin activity was found extracellularly. The level of total biotin (assayable with yeast) greatly exceeded the level of true biotin (assayed with lactobacillus). Values for intracellular biotin generally showed good agreement between the assays, suggesting the presence of only true biotin within the cells. Bioautographic analysis of the medium after growth of each organism revealed the presence of large amounts of a vitamer which corresponded to dl-desthiobiotin on the basis of Rf value and biological activity. Biotin, when detected at all, was at very low concentrations. Also, an avidin-uncombinable vitamer was synthesized by a majority of the bacteria. Addition of d-biotin to the growth medium prevented completely the synthesis of both vitamers of biotin. d-Biotin-d-sulfoxide had no effect on the synthesis of desthiobiotin or the avidin-uncombinable vitamer. Addition of dl-desthiobiotin did not prevent its own synthesis nor that of the other vitamer. Control of vitamer synthesis is therefore highly specific for d-biotin. The avidin-uncombinable vitamer was produced only at repressed levels in the presence of high concentrations of both d-biotin and dl-desthiobiotin, which suggested that it is not a degradation product of these substances. A possible mechanism for the overproduction of the biosynthetic precursors of biotin is presented. 相似文献

A quantitative screening procedure for biotin and biotin vitamer production was conducted on 129 yeast strains able to grow in a biotin-free medium. Production of biotin and biotin vitamers varied considerably from strain to strain even within a species. The best producers of biotin were strains of Sporobolomyces roseus and Rhodotorula rubra whilst strains of Rhodotorula rubra and Yarrowia lipolytica produced the largest amounts of vitamers. 相似文献

The hydrocarbon utilizing yeast Yarrowia lipolyyica NCYC 1421 produces biotin and its vitamers when grown on glucose in biotin-free media. Levels of production can be influenced by the medium composition. Growth in the presence of longchained fatty acids greatly increases biotin vitamer production. The biotin vitamers produced are normally dethiobiotin and 7-keto, 8-aminopelargonic acid. The addition of succinic acid at 0.5 g per litre causes the vitamer 7, 8-diaminopelargonic acid to be produced at high levels. The biotin antagonist α-dehydrobiotin inhibits the growth of Yarrowia lipolytica . Mutants can be readily isolated which show resistance to α-dehydrobiotin, but these do not produce greater amounts of biotin or its vitamers. 相似文献

1. Filtrates from cultures of a strain of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, grown in a basal glucose-ammonium chloride-vitamins-salts medium, possessed biotin activity as detected by microbiological assays. Exponential-phase culture filtrates contained biotin and desthiobiotin in the approximate ratio 1:3, with smaller amounts of biotin sulphoxide and three unidentified compounds with biotin activity. 2. The addition of malonate, adipate or pimelate to the basal medium stimulated the production of compounds with biotin activity; this effect was enhanced when these compounds were included in the medium as the major carbon source. Succinate, glutarate, suberate, fumarate or oxaloacetate did not stimulate the production of compounds with biotin activity. The ratio of biotin to desthiobiotin in filtrates from cultures grown in medium containing malonate as the carbon source was about 1:1. Experiments in which mixtures of malonate and pimelate were included in the medium as the carbon sources showed that these acids probably make a similar contribution in biotin biosynthesis. 3. A number of heterocyclic compounds, including several containing the ureido group (-NH-CO-NH-), were included in the basal medium but none of them stimulated the production of compounds with biotin activity to any marked degree. 4. Several amino acids, particularly cysteine (or cystine) and lysine, when added individually as supplements to the basal medium, stimulated the production of compounds with biotin activity. Filtrates from cultures grown in medium supplemented with cysteine contained approximately equal proportions of biotin and desthiobiotin. A much greater stimulation in the production of compounds with biotin activity was obtained when certain amino acids were included in the medium as the major source of nitrogen or carbon and nitrogen; ornithine, citrulline and argininosuccinate had the most marked effect. The ratio of biotin to desthiobiotin in filtrates from these cultures was usually greater than in filtrates from cultures grown in basal medium. 5-Aminovalerate also caused some stimulation when used as the nitrogen source, but urea was inactive. The effect of binary mixtures of certain amino acids was also examined. 5. The results are discussed in relation to the possible role of the stimulatory compounds during biotin biosynthesis. 相似文献

1. An unknown biotin vitamer was obtained in high yields in culture filtrates of Penicillium chrysogenum. 2. Production of this vitamer and desthiobiotin is controlled by the biotin concentration in the medium. 3. The unknown vitamer becomes labelled when the organism is grown in the presence of radioactive pimelic acid. 4. Chromatographic procedures were developed for the purification of the radioactive vitamer. 5. The vitamer is extremely stable in concentrated acid but gives rise to new vitamers under certain conditions. 6. The intermediate role of this vitamer in the synthesis of biotin is discussed. 相似文献

The utilization of hydrocarbons by microorganisms was studied in many fields, but the production of biotin vitamers by hydrocarbon-utilizing bacteria has never been reported.We have screened many hydrocarbon-utilizing bacteria which produce biotin vitamers in the culture broth. The effects of cultural conditions on biotin vitamers production by strain 5–2, tentatively assigned to the genus Pseudomonas, were studied.More than 98% of biotin vitamers produced from hydrocarbons by strain 5–2 was chromatographically determined as desthiobiotin. As nitrogen source, natural nutrients were more effective than inorganic nitrogen sources. The production of biotin vitamers was increased under the condition of good aeration. Exogenous pimelic or azelaic acid enhanced biotin vitamers production by strain 5–2.The production of biotin vitamers from n-alkanes, n-alkenes or glucose by an isolated bacterium, strain 5-2, tentatively assigned to the genus Pseudomonas, was investigated. Among these carbon sources, n-undecane was the most excellent for biotin vitamers production.The biosynthetic pathway of biotin vitamers, especially desthiobiotin, from n-undecane was also studied. It was found by thin-layer and gas-liquid chromatographical methods that pimelic and azelaic acids were the main acid components in n-undecane culture.This result, together with previously reported enhancement of biotin vitamers production by these acids, suggests that pimelic and azelaic acids may be the intermediates of biotin vitamers biosynthesis from n-undecane. 相似文献

The yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae is able to use some biotin precursors for biotin biosynthesis. Insertion of a sulfur atom into desthiobiotin, the final step in the biosynthetic pathway, is catalyzed by biotin synthase (Bio2). This mitochondrial protein contains two iron-sulfur (Fe/S) clusters that catalyze the reaction and are thought to act as a sulfur donor. To identify new components of biotin metabolism, we performed a genetic screen and found that Isa2, a mitochondrial protein involved in the formation of Fe/S proteins, is necessary for the conversion of desthiobiotin to biotin. Depletion of Isa2 or the related Isa1, however, did not prevent the de novo synthesis of any of the two Fe/S centers of Bio2. In contrast, Fe/S cluster assembly on Bio2 strongly depended on the Isu1 and Isu2 proteins. Both isa mutants contained low levels of Bio2. This phenotype was also found in other mutants impaired in mitochondrial Fe/S protein assembly and in wild-type cells grown under iron limitation. Low Bio2 levels, however, did not cause the inability of isa mutants to utilize desthiobiotin, since this defect was not cured by overexpression of BIO2. Thus, the Isa proteins are crucial for the in vivo function of biotin synthase but not for the de novo synthesis of its Fe/S clusters. Our data demonstrate that the Isa proteins are essential for the catalytic activity of Bio2 in vivo. 相似文献

Cell-free extracts prepared from a biotin auxotroph of Escherichia coli were active in catalyzing the synthesis of 7,8-diaminopelargonic acid, an intermediate of the biotin pathway, from 7-oxo-8-aminopelargonic acid. The product was identified on the basis of its chromatographic characteristics and its biotin activities for biotin auxotrophs of E. coli. Enzyme activity was determined in a reaction coupled with the desthiobiotin synthetase system, which is required for the conversion of 7,8-diaminopelargonic acid to desthiobiotin, and by measuring the amount of desthiobiotin formed by microbiological assay. The reaction was stimulated by l-methionine and pyridoxal-5'-phosphate. l-Methionine could not be replaced by any other amino acids tested. Pyridoxamine and pyridoxamine-5'-phosphate were as active as pyridoxal phosphate. The enzyme, presumably an aminotransferase, was demonstrable in the parent strain of E. coli and all mutant strains tested with the exception of a strain which is able to grow on diaminopelargonic acid but not on 7-oxo-8-aminopelargonic acid. Furthermore, the enzyme was repressible by biotin. The results were consistent with the hypothesis that the biosynthesis of 7,8-diaminopelargonic acid from 7-oxo-8-aminopelargonic acid is an obligatory step in the biosynthetic pathway of biotin in E. coli. 相似文献

Biotin auxotrophs were isolated from Escherichia coli K-12. One of the mutants was unable to grow on desthiobiotin and accumulated a large amount of a vitamer in medium when growing on an optimal concentration of biotin. The production of the vitamer was inhibited in the presence of an excess amount of biotin. The vitamer was identified as desthiobiotin on the basis of biological activities, avidin combinability, and chromatographic characteristics. The mutant lacked the ability to convert desthiobiotin to biotin. These results further support the hypothesis that desthiobiotin is a normal intermediate in the biosynthesis of biotin in E. coli. 相似文献

During the course of the study on biotin vitamers production by a hydrocarbon-utilizing bacterium, strain 5–2 (Pseudomonas sp.), it was found that crude RNA-alkali-hydrolyzate from yeast increased the accumulaion of biotin vitamers, most of which was determined as desthiobion, and that adenine in the crude RNA-alkali-hydrolyzate was a potent stimulator. Effect of adenine on biotin vitamers accumulation was observed in the medium with either hydrocarbon or glucose as a sole carbon source. The accumulation of total biotin vitamers by some other bacteria was also increased by adenine but that of true biotin was scarcely increased or inhibited by adenine.The role of adenine on the accumulation of biotin vitamers was investigated with non-proliferating cells of strain 5–2, and it was supposed that adenine would not only inhibit the accumulation of true biotin but, as a result, cause the large accumulation of biotin vitamers which might be intermediates of biotin synthesis. When the medium was supplemented with excess biotin, complete repression occurred even in the presence of adenine. 相似文献

Conversion of desthiobiotin to biotin by various kinds of microorganisms such as molds, Streptomyces, bacteria and yeasts was studied. The results described in the present paper showed that various kinds of microorganisms converted desthiobiotin to biotin during the cultivation of these microorganisms.The conversion product from desthiobiotin by these microorganisms was chromatographically identified as biotin. The relationship between the producibilities of desthiobiotin and biotin from pimelic acid, and biotin synthesis from desthiobiotin was also presented. 相似文献

During the course of our investigations on the metabolism of d-biotin by microorganism, it has been found that some strains of fungi belonging to the genera Rhodotorula, Penicillium and Endomycopsis, are able to degrade d-biotin oxidatively into various biotin vitamers. The present work was undertaken to characterize these vitamers. The vitamers formed were separated by the ion exchange column chromatography, into Fraction A (d-biotin sulfoxide), Fraction B (unknown vitamer II), Fraction C (d-biotin) and Fraction D (unknown vitamer I). Rf values of vitamer I and vitamer II were found to be different from those of the known biotin vitamers. The vitamers I and II did not support the growth of Lactobacillus arabinosus and Saccharomyces cerevisiae, but did support that of Bacillus subtilis. This degradation reaction occurred rather favorably in high aerobic condition. 相似文献

Biotin (vitamin B7) is involved in a wide range of essential biochemical reactions and a crucial micronutrient that is vital for many pro- and eukaryotic organisms. The few biotin measurements in the world’s oceans show that availability is subject to strong fluctuations. Numerous marine microorganisms exhibit biotin auxotrophy and therefore rely on supply by other organisms. Desthiobiotin is the primary precursor of biotin and has recently been detected at concentrations similar to biotin in seawater. The last enzymatic reaction in the biotin biosynthetic pathway converts desthiobiotin to biotin via the biotin synthase (BioB). The role of desthiobiotin as a precursor of biotin synthesis in microbial systems, however, is largely unknown. Here we demonstrate experimentally that bacteria can overcome biotin auxotrophy if they retain the bioB gene and desthiobiotin is available. A genomic search of 1068 bacteria predicts that the biotin biosynthetic potential varies greatly among different phylogenetic groups and that 20% encode solely bioB and thus can potentially overcome biotin auxotrophy. Many Actino- and Alphaproteobacteria cannot synthesize biotin de novo, but some possess solely bioB, whereas the vast majority of Gammaproteobacteria and Flavobacteriia exhibit the last four crucial biotin synthesis genes. We detected high intra- and extracellular concentrations of the precursor relative to biotin in the prototrophic bacterium, Vibrio campbellii, with extracellular desthiobiotin reaching up to 1.09 ± 0.15*106 molecules per cell during exponential growth. Our results provide evidence for the ecological role of desthiobiotin as an escape route to overcome biotin auxotrophy for bacteria in the ocean and presumably in other ecosystems.Subject terms: Water microbiology, Ecosystem ecology, Marine microbiology 相似文献

A strain of Escherichia coli in which the lacZ gene was fused to the bioA promoter was constructed. Colonies of this strain formed Lac(+) colonies on low-biotin agar (1.6 to 4.1 nM) and Lac(-) colonies on high-biotin agar (41 nM). This lac-bio fusion strain was used to study the question of whether cells growing on the biotin vitamers d-biotin-d-sulfoxide (BDS) and dethiobiotin (DTB) generate enough biotin to give maximal repression of beta-galactosidase synthesis. Repression by high concentrations (400 nM) of BDS was almost maximal (about 96%), whereas DTB repression reached a saturation level of about 80% with increasing DTB concentrations. The levels of repression obtained with both vitamers were sufficient to cause the colonies to appear Lac(-). When the lac-bio fusion was transduced into lines carrying mutations (bis) that prevent reduction of BDS to biotin, the transductants were not repressed by added BDS. Repression by BDS is unlikely to result from accumulation of extracellular biotin-related substances because (i) washed bis(+) cells were not detectably derepressed when transferred into medium containing BDS and (ii) washed bis cells were not detectably repressed when transferred into medium in which bis(+) cells had grown. Lactose agar plates containing high concentrations of DTB or BDS comprise an efficient selective medium for bioB or bis mutants and were used to isolate spontaneous mutations of these genes. This method should be adaptable to the selection of mutations in any biosynthetic pathway subject to end-product repression. 相似文献

Two steps in the biosynthesis of biotin in Escherichia coli, incorporation of the nitrogen atom of methionine into 7-keto-8-aminopelargonic acid and of the sulfur atom into dethiobiotin, were examined. Sulfur and nitrogen metabolism were monitored by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry of volatile derivatives of internal (protein-bound) amino acids and excreted biotin. We were able to show that internal cysteine and excreted biotin were labeled to the same extent with 34S from either of two exogenous sulfur sources, 34SO4(2)-or L-[sulfane-34S]thiocystine. Internal methionine was eliminated from consideration, while cysteine, or possibly a closely related intermediate, was implicated as providing the sulfur atom for biotin biosynthesis. Also, in experiments designed to follow the metabolism of the nitrogen atom of methionine, it was found that biotin excreted into the culture medium by this organism grown with 95 atom % [15N]methionine contained greater than 70 atom % excess 15N in one of the nitrogens over that obtained from cultures grown with methionine of natural abundance 15N. These results provide evidence for the direct transfer of the methionine nitrogen as the role of S-adenosylmethionine in the conversion of 7-keto-8-aminopelargonic acid to 7,8-diaminopelargonic acid. 相似文献

The synthesis of desthiobiotin from 7,8-diaminopelargonic acid (DAP) was demonstrated in resting cell suspensions of Escherichia coli K-12 bioA mutants under conditions in which the biotin locus was derepressed. The biosynthetically formed desthiobiotin was identified by chromatography, electrophoresis, and by its ability to support the growth of yeast and those E. coli biotin auxotrophs that are blocked earlier in the biotin pathway. Optimal conditions for desthiobiotin synthesis were determined. Desthiobiotin synthetase activity was repressed 67% when partially derepressed resting cells were incubated in the presence of 3 ng of biotin per ml. Serine, bicarbonate, and glucose stimulated desthiobiotin synthesis apparently by acting as sources of CO(2). The results of this study are consistent with an earlier postulated pathway for biotin biosynthesis in E. coli: pimelic acid --> 7-oxo-8-aminopelargonic acid --> DAP --> desthiobiotin --> biotin. 相似文献
