Corynebacterium glutamicum R was metabolically engineered to broaden its sugar utilization range to d-xylose and d-cellobiose contained in lignocellulose hydrolysates. The resultant recombinants expressed Escherichia coli xylA and xylB genes, encoding d-xylose isomerase and xylulokinase, respectively, for d-xylose utilization and expressed C. glutamicum R bglF
317A
and bglA genes, encoding phosphoenolpyruvate:carbohydrate phosphotransferase system (PTS) β-glucoside-specific enzyme IIBCA component
and phospho-β-glucosidase, respectively, for d-cellobiose utilization. The genes were fused to the non-essential genomic regions distributed around the C. glutamicum R chromosome and were under the control of their respective constitutive promoter trc and tac that permitted their expression even in the presence of d-glucose. The enzyme activities of resulting recombinants increased with the increase in the number of respective integrated
genes. Maximal sugar utilization was realized with strain X5C1 harboring five xylA–xylB clusters and one bglF
317A
–bglA cluster. In both d-cellobiose and d-xylose utilization, the sugar consumption rates by genomic DNA-integrated strain were faster than those by plasmid-bearing
strain, respectively. In mineral medium containing 40 g l−1
d-glucose, 20 g l−1
d-xylose, and 10 g l−1
d-cellobiose, strain X5C1 simultaneously and completely consumed these sugars within 12 h and produced predominantly lactic
and succinic acids under growth-arrested conditions. 相似文献

Intracellular precursor supply is a critical factor for amino acid productivity of Corynebacterium glutamicum. To test for the effect of improved pyruvate availability on l-lysine production, we deleted the aceE gene encoding the E1p enzyme of the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDHC) in the l-lysine-producer C. glutamicum DM1729 and characterised the resulting strain DM1729-BB1 for growth and l-lysine production. Compared to the host strain, C. glutamicum DM1729-BB1 showed no PDHC activity, was acetate auxotrophic and, after complete consumption of the available carbon sources
glucose and acetate, showed a more than 50% lower substrate-specific biomass yield (0.14 vs 0.33 mol C/mol C), an about fourfold
higher biomass-specific l-lysine yield (5.27 vs 1.23 mmol/g cell dry weight) and a more than 40% higher substrate-specific l-lysine yield (0.13 vs 0.09 mol C/mol C). Overexpression of the pyruvate carboxylase or diaminopimelate dehydrogenase genes
in C. glutamicum DM1729-BB1 resulted in a further increase in the biomass-specific l-lysine yield by 6 and 56%, respectively. In addition to l-lysine, significant amounts of pyruvate, l-alanine and l-valine were produced by C. glutamicum DM1729-BB1 and its derivatives, suggesting a surplus of precursor availability and a further potential to improve l-lysine production by engineering the l-lysine biosynthetic pathway.

N-Acetyl-L-glutamate (NAG), the activator of mitochondrial carbamoyl phosphate synthetase (CPS), is demonstrated by several methods, including a new HPLC assay, in the brain of mammals and of chicken. The brain levels of NAG are 200–300 times lower than the levels of N-acetyl-l-aspartate (NAA), and are similar to the levels of NAG in rat liver. The NAG levels in chicken liver are very low. Although NAG is mitochondrial in the liver, it is cytosolic in brain. Using enzyme activity and immuno assays we did not detect CPS in brain (detection limit, 12.5 g/g brain), excluding that brain NAG is involved in citrullinogenesis. The regional distribution of brain NAG differs from that of NAA and resembles that of N-acetyl-l-aspartyl-l-glutamate (NAAG), suggesting that NAG and NAAG are related. NAG might be involved in the modulation of NAAG degradation.Special issue dedicated to Dr. Santiago Grisolía 相似文献

Fusion proteins of d-amino acid oxidase from Trigonopsis variabilis (TvDAAO) with Vitreoscilla Hemoglobin (VHb) and (His)6-tag were constructed and expressed in recombinant Escherichia coli. A fusing-position effect was revealed that (His)6-tag’s N-terminal fusion with TvDAAO (HDAAO) reduced the specific activity by ~29%, while the C-terminal fusion (DAAOH) remained unreduced. The N-terminal
fusion of VHb with TvDAAO and DAAOH significantly improved their activity. As in a 5 l fermentor, the activity of the triple fusion VHb-TvDAAO-(His)6 (VDAAOH) reached 2.53 U/mg dry cell at 9 h, ~58% increase than that of DAAOH together with ~40% biomass increase, confirming
the positive effect of VHb expression on cell level. After purification, the UV–visible and fluorescence spectrum of DAAOH
and VDAAOH were characterized. Enzyme kinetics studies further indicated that VDAAOH behaved a higher K
cat, but a weaker substrate affinity of K
m relative to DAAOH, revealing two distinct impacts of VHb-coupling with TvDAAO on protein level. 相似文献

N-Acyl-D-glutamate amidohydrolase (D-AGase) was inhibited by 94 % when 1 mol/l N-acetyl-DL- glutamate was used as a substrate. The addition of 1 mM Co2+ stabilized D-AGase. Moreover, the substrate inhibition was weakened to 88% with the addition of 0.4 mM Co2+ to the reaction mixture. Although D-AGase is a zinc-metalloenzyme, the addition of Zn2+ from 0.01 to 10 mM did not increase the D-glutamic acid production in the saturated substrate. Under optimal conditions, 0.38 M D-glutamic acid was obtained from N-acyl-DL-glutamate with 100% of the theoretical yield after 48 h. 相似文献

A recombinant oxidation/reduction cycle for the conversion of D-fructose to D-mannitol was established in resting cells of Corynebacterium glutamicum. Whole cells were used as biocatalysts, supplied with 250 mM sodium formate and 500 mM D-fructose at pH 6.5. The mannitol dehydrogenase gene (mdh) from Leuconostoc pseudomesenteroides was overexpressed in strain C. glutamicum ATCC 13032. To ensure sufficient cofactor [nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (reduced form, NADH)] supply, the fdh gene encoding formate dehydrogenase from Mycobacterium vaccae N10 was coexpressed. The recombinant C. glutamicum cells produced D-mannitol at a constant production rate of 0.22 g (g cdw)−1 h−1. Expression of the glucose/fructose facilitator gene glf from Zymomonas mobilis in C. glutamicum led to a 5.5-fold increased productivity of 1.25 g (g cdw)−1 h−1, yielding 87 g l−1
D-mannitol from 93.7 g l−1
D-fructose. Determination of intracellular NAD(H) concentration during biotransformation showed a constant NAD(H) pool size
and a NADH/NAD+ ratio of approximately 1. In repetitive fed-batch biotransformation, 285 g l−1
D-mannitol over a time period of 96 h with an average productivity of 1.0 g (g cdw)−1 h−1 was formed. These results show that C. glutamicum is a favorable biocatalyst for long-term biotransformation with resting cells.

Geobacillus thermodenitrificans, with a double-site mutation in L: -arabinose isomerase, produced 95 g L-: ribulose l(-1 ) from 500 g L: -arabinose l(-1) under optimum conditions of pH 8, 70 degrees C, and 10 units enzyme ml(-1) with a conversion yield of 19% over 2 h. The half-lives of the mutated enzyme at 70 and 75 degrees C were 35 and 4.5 h, respectively. 相似文献

Two systems for l-glutamate transport were found in Salmonella typhimurium LT-2 GltU+ (glutamate utilization) mutants. The first one is similar to the glt system previously described in Escherichia coli; by transductional analysis the structural gene, gltS, coding for the transport protein was located at minute 80 of the chromosome as part of the operon gltC-gltS, and its regulator, the gltR gene, near minute 90; the gltS gene product transports both l-glutamate and l-aspartate, is sodium independent, and is -hydroxyaspartate sensitive. The second transport system, whose structural gene was called gltF and is located at minute 0, was l-glutamate specific, sodium independent, and -methylglutamate sensitive. Two aspartase activities occurred in S. typhimurium LT-2: the first one was present only in the GltU+ mutants, had a pH 6.4 optimum, was essential for both l-glutamate and l-aspartate metabolism, and mapped at minute 94, close to the ampC gene. The second one had a pH 7.2 optimum, could be induced by several amino acids, and thus may have a general role in nitrogen metabolism. 相似文献

In mineral salts medium under oxygen deprivation, Corynebacterium glutamicum exhibits high productivity of l-lactic acid accompanied with succinic and acetic acids. In taking advantage of this elevated productivity, C. glutamicum was genetically modified to produce d-lactic acid. The modification involved expression of fermentative d-lactate dehydrogenase (d-LDH)-encoding genes from Escherichia coli and Lactobacillus delbrueckii in l-lactate dehydrogenase (l-LDH)-encoding ldhA-null C. glutamicum mutants to yield strains C. glutamicum ΔldhA/pCRB201 and C. glutamicum ΔldhA/pCRB204, respectively. The productivity of C. glutamicum ΔldhA/pCRB204 was fivefold higher than that of C. glutamicum ΔldhA/pCRB201. By using C. glutamicum ΔldhA/pCRB204 cells packed to a high density in mineral salts medium, up to 1,336 mM (120 g l−1) of d-lactic acid of greater than 99.9% optical purity was produced within 30 h. 相似文献

Corynebacterium glutamicum was metabolically engineered to broaden its substrate utilization range to include the pentose sugar l-arabinose, a product of the degradation of lignocellulosic biomass. The resultant CRA1 recombinant strain expressed the Escherichia coli genes araA, araB, and araD encoding l-arabinose isomerase, l-ribulokinase, and l-ribulose-5-phosphate 4-epimerase, respectively, under the control of a constitutive promoter. Unlike the wild-type strain,
CRA1 was able to grow on mineral salts medium containing l-arabinose as the sole carbon and energy source. The three cloned genes were expressed to the same levels whether cells were
cultured in the presence of d-glucose or l-arabinose. Under oxygen deprivation and with l-arabinose as the sole carbon and energy source, strain CRA1 carbon flow was redirected to produce up to 40, 37, and 11%,
respectively, of the theoretical yields of succinic, lactic, and acetic acids. Using a sugar mixture containing 5% d-glucose and 1% l-arabinose under oxygen deprivation, CRA1 cells metabolized l-arabinose at a constant rate, resulting in combined organic acids yield based on the amount of sugar mixture consumed after
d-glucose depletion (83%) that was comparable to that before d-glucose depletion (89%). Strain CRA1 is, therefore, able to utilize l-arabinose as a substrate for organic acid production even in the presence of d-glucose. 相似文献

l-Galactono-1,4-lactone (GalL) dehydrogenase (GLDH) is an enzyme that catalyzes the last step of l-ascorbate (AsA) biosynthesis in plants. To re-evaluate the importance of the enzyme and the possibility of manipulating the
AsA content in plants, a cDNA encoding GLDH from sweet potato was introduced into tobacco plants by Agrobacterium-mediated transformation under the control of a CaMV 35S promoter. Protein blot analysis revealed the elevation of GLDH protein contents in three GLDH-transformed lines. Furthermore, these transgenic lines showed 6- to 10-fold higher GLDH activities in the roots than the
non-transformed plants, SR1. Despite the elevated GLDH activity, the AsA content in the leaves did not change in all lines;
i.e., the AsA content in GLDH-transformed lines was 3–7 μmol g−1 FW, comparable to that in the non-transformed plants. Incubation of leaf discs in a GalL solution led to a rapid 2- to 3-fold
increase in the AsA content in both GLDH-transformed and non-transformed plants in the same manner. These results suggest that the supply of GalL is a crucial factor
for determining the AsA pool size and that the upstream genes in the AsA biosynthetic pathway are responsible for enhancing
the AsA content in plants. 相似文献

A strain of Pseudomonas putida capable of utilizing both stereoisomers of phenylglycine as the sole carbon and energy source was isolated from soil. No phenylglycine racemase was detected in cells grown on either stereoisomer. In an initial reaction each steroisomer of phenylglycine was transaminated yielding phenylglyoxylate which was further metabolized via benzaldehyde to benzoate. Subsequently, benzoate was further degraded via an ortho-cleavage of catechol.Abbreviation HPLC

The functions and applications of l-α-dipeptides (dipeptides) have been poorly studied compared with proteins or amino acids. Only a few dipeptides, such as
aspartame (l-aspartyl-l-phenylalanine methyl ester) and l-alanyl-l-glutamine (Ala-Gln), are commercially used. This can be attributed to the lack of an efficient process for dipeptide production
though various chemical or chemoenzymatic method have been reported. Recently, however, novel methods have arisen for dipeptide
synthesis including a nonribosomal peptide-synthetase-based method and an l-amino acid α-ligase-based method, both of which enable dipeptides to be produced through fermentative processes. Since it
has been revealed that some dipeptides have unique physiological functions, the progress in production methods will undoubtedly
accelerate the applications of dipeptides in many fields. In this review, the functions and applications of dipeptides, mainly
in commercial use, and methods for dipeptide production including already proven processes as well as newly developed ones
are summarized. As aspartame and Ala-Gln are produced using different industrial processes, the manufacturing processes of
these two dipeptides are compared to clarify the characteristics of each procedure. 相似文献

Four precursors (l-phenylalanine, l-tryptophan, cinnamic acid and emodin) and one signal elicitor (methyl jasmonate, MeJA) were added to liquid cultures of Hypericum perforatum L. to study their effect on production of hyperforin and hypericins (pseudohypericin and hypericin). The addition of l-phenylalanine (75 to 100 mg l−1) enhanced production of hypericins, but hyperforin levels were decreased. Hypericin, pseudohypericin and hyperforin concentrations
were all decreased when l-tryptophan (25 to 100 mg l−1) was added to the medium. However, addition of l-tryptophan (50 mg l−1) with MeJA (100 μM) stimulated hyperforin production significantly (1.81-fold) and resulted in an increased biomass. Cinnamic acid (25, 50 mg l−1) and emodin (1.0 to 10.0 mg l−1) each enhanced hyperforin accumulation in H. perforatum, but did not affect accumulation of hypericins. 相似文献

Summary Suspension culture of cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) has been an inefficient method for production of somatic embryos owing to problems with embryo maturation and conversion.
Embryogenic callus of cv. Green Long was induced on semisolid Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium containing 6.8 μM 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) and 2.2 μM 6-benzylaminopurine (BA). A large number of globular somatic embryos were obtained on transfer of the callus to MS liquid
medium supplemented with 87.6 mM sucrose, 1.1 μM 2,4-D, and improved by the addition of 342.4 μM
l-glutamine. MS medium supplemented with 87.6 mM sucrose was more effective in somatic embryo production than other sugars. Subsequent development led to the formation of
heart-and torpedo-shaped embryos. Maturation of somatic embryos occurred on plant growth regulator-free MS semi-solid medium
containing 175.2 mM sucrose and 0.5 gl−1 activated charcoal. Conversion of embryos into plants was achieved on half-strength MS semi-solid medium containing 87.6
mM sucrose and 1.4 μM gibberellic acid (GA3) in a 16h photoperiod. Twenty-seven percent of embryos were converted into normal plants. 相似文献

We examined the relative contributory roles of extracellular vs. intracellular l-arginine (ARG) toward cellular activation of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) in human endothelial cells. EA.hy926 human endothelial cells were incubated with different concentrations of 15N4-ARG, ARG, or l-arginine ethyl ester (ARG-EE) for 2 h. To modulate ARG transport, siRNA for ARG transporter (CAT-1) vs. sham siRNA were transfected into cells. ARG transport activity was assessed by cellular fluxes of ARG, 15N4-ARG, dimethylarginines, and l-citrulline by an LC–MS/MS assay. eNOS activity was determined by nitrite/nitrate accumulation, either via a fluorometric assay or by15N-nitrite or estimated 15N3-citrulline concentrations when 15N4-ARG was used to challenge the cells. We found that ARG-EE incubation increased cellular ARG concentration but no increase in nitrite/nitrate was observed, while ARG incubation increased both cellular ARG concentration and nitrite accumulation. Cellular nitrite/nitrate production did not correlate with cellular total ARG concentration. Reduced 15N4-ARG cellular uptake in CAT-1 siRNA transfected cells vs. control was accompanied by reduced eNOS activity, as determined by 15N-nitrite, total nitrite and 15N3-citrulline formation. Our data suggest that extracellular ARG, not intracellular ARG, is the major determinant of NO production in endothelial cells. It is likely that once transported inside the cell, ARG can no longer gain access to the membrane-bound eNOS. These observations indicate that the “l-arginine paradox” should not consider intracellular ARG concentration as a reference point. 相似文献

Molecular access to amino acid excretion by Corynebacterium glutamicum and Escherichia coli led to the identification of structurally novel carriers and novel carrier functions. The exporters LysE, RhtB, ThrE and BrnFE each represent the protoype of new transporter families, which are in part distributed throughout all of the kingdoms of life. LysE of C. glutamicum catalytes the export of basic amino acids. The expression of the carrier gene is regulated by the cell-internal concentration of basic amino acids. This serves, for example, to maintain homoeostasis if an excess of l-lysine or l-arginine inside the cell should arise during growth on complex media. RhtB is one of five paralogous systems in E. coli, of which at least two are relevant for l-threonine production. A third system is relevant for l-cysteine production. It is speculated that the physiological function of these paralogues is related to quorum sensing. ThrE of C. glutamicum exports l-threonine and l-serine. However, a ThrE domain with a putative hydrolytic function points to an as yet unknown role of this exporter. BrnFE in C. glutamicum is a two-component permease exporting branched-chained amino acids from the cell, and an orthologue in B. subtilis exports 4-azaleucine. 相似文献
