共表达烟酸转磷酸核糖激酶和丙酮酸羧化酶对大肠杆菌NZN111产丁二酸的影响

构建了共表达烟酸转磷酸核糖激酶(NAPRTase)和丙酮酸羧化酶(PYC)的重组质粒pTrc99a-pncB-pyc,并考察了重组菌E.coli NZN111/pTrc99a-pncB-pyc生产丁二酸的能力。结果表明:重组菌NZN111/pTrc99a-pncB-pyc的NAPRTase和PYC的比酶活达到最高,分别为20.75和1.04 U/mg,同时,辅酶NADH、NAD+及NAD(H)总量达到最高。厌氧摇瓶发酵结果:48 h能够消耗17.5 g/L的葡萄糖生成14.08 g/L的丁二酸,而丙酮酸的产量大幅度降低,仅为0.11 g/L。本研究为基因工程菌大肠杆菌厌氧条件下发酵生产丁二酸提供了一定的基础。     

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。

In silico deletion of PtsG gene in Escherichia coli genome-scale model predicts increased succinate production from glycerol

Systems metabolic engineering and in silico analyses are necessary to study gene knockout candidate for enhanced succinic acid production by Escherichia coli. Metabolically engineered E. coli has been reported to produce succinate from glucose and glycerol. However, investigation on in silico deletion of ptsG/b1101 gene in E. coli from glycerol using minimization of metabolic adjustment algorithm with the OptFlux software platform has not yet been elucidated. Herein we report what is to our knowledge the first direct predicted increase in succinate production following in silico deletion of the ptsG gene in E. coli GEM from glycerol with the OptFlux software platform. The result indicates that the deletion of this gene in E. coli GEM predicts increased succinate production that is 20% higher than the wild-type control model. Hence, the mutant model maintained a growth rate that is 77% of the wild-type parent model. It was established that knocking out of the ptsG/b1101 gene in E. coli using glucose as substrate enhanced succinate production, but the exact mechanism of this effect is still obscure. This study informs other studies that the deletion of ptsG/b1101 gene in E. coli GEM predicted increased succinate production, enabling a model-driven experimental inquiry and/or novel biological discovery on the underground metabolic role of this gene in E. coli central metabolism in relation to increasing succinate production when glycerol is the substrate.

Expression of Galactose Permease and Pyruvate Carboxylase in Escherichia coli ptsG Mutant Increases the Growth Rate and Succinate Yield under Anaerobic Conditions

In Escherichia coli, disruption of ptsG, which encodes the glucose-specific permease of the phosphotransferase transport system (PTS) protein EIICB^Glc, is crucial for high succinate production. This mutation can, however, cause very slow growth and low glucose consumption rates. The ptsG mutant (TUQ2), from wild type E. coli W1485, and E. coli galP (encoding galactose permease) and glk (encoding glucose kinase) gene expression plasmids were constructed. TUQ2 increased the generation time to approximately 4 h and gave a higher final cell density of 0.5 g/l by expression of galP. However, glk expression had no effect on the mutant. After expression of pyruvate carboxylase (PYC) and galactose permease, the ptsG mutant showed higher succinate yield (1.2 mol/mol glucose) and the specific rate of glucose consumption from 0.33 to 0.6 g/1 h.

Eliminating side products and increasing succinate yields in engineered strains of Escherichia coli C

Derivatives of Escherichia coli C were previously described for succinate production by combining the deletion of genes that disrupt fermentation pathways for alternative products (ldhA::FRT, adhE::FRT, ackA::FRT, focA-pflB::FRT, mgsA, poxB) with growth-based selection for increased ATP production. The resulting strain, KJ073, produced 1.2 mol of succinate per mol glucose in mineral salts medium with acetate, malate, and pyruvate as significant co-products. KJ073 has been further improved by removing residual recombinase sites (FRT sites) from the chromosomal regions of gene deletion to create a strain devoid of foreign DNA, strain KJ091(DeltaldhA DeltaadhE DeltaackA DeltafocA-pflB DeltamgsA DeltapoxB). KJ091 was further engineered for improvements in succinate production. Deletion of the threonine decarboxylase (tdcD; acetate kinase homologue) and 2-ketobutyrate formate-lyase (tdcE; pyruvate formate-lyase homologue) reduced the acetate level by 50% and increased succinate yield (1.3 mol mol(-1) glucose) by almost 10% as compared to KJ091 and KJ073. Deletion of two genes involved in oxaloacetate metabolism, aspartate aminotransferase (aspC) and the NAD(+)-linked malic enzyme (sfcA) (KJ122) significantly increased succinate yield (1.5 mol mol(-1) glucose), succinate titer (700 mM), and average volumetric productivity (0.9 g L(-1) h(-1)). Residual pyruvate and acetate were substantially reduced by further deletion of pta encoding phosphotransacetylase to produce KJ134 (DeltaldhA DeltaadhE DeltafocA-pflB DeltamgsA DeltapoxB DeltatdcDE DeltacitF DeltaaspC DeltasfcA Deltapta-ackA). Strains KJ122 and KJ134 produced near theoretical yields of succinate during simple, anaerobic, batch fermentations using mineral salts medium. Both may be useful as biocatalysts for the commercial production of succinate.
