Characterization of a mutation affecting the function of Escherichia coli folylpolyglutamate synthetase-dihydrofolate synthetase and further mutations produced in vitro at the same locus

The folC gene from mutant strain SF4 was cloned into a pUC19 plasmid. Expression of the mutant gene from the lac promoter of the plasmid complemented the auxotrophy for methionine of the SF4 strain. The only difference in sequence between the mutant and wild-type genes was a G925A base change resulting in an A309T amino acid change. The mutant enzyme had a 30-fold higher Km for 10-formyltetrahydrofolate as well as a 60-fold higher Km for glutamate and a 200-fold higher Km for dihydropteroate of the dihydrofolate synthetase activity. Site-specific mutagenesis was used to substitute other amino acids at codon 309. Mutants with glycine, isoleucine, and valine substitutions at this position, when expressed from multicopy plasmids, complemented the SF4 strain. The glycine mutant had properties similar to the wild-type enzyme, whereas the isoleucine and valine mutants had properties similar to the threonine mutant, SF4. Mutant genes with arginine, glutamate, and leucine substitutions, which did not complement the SF4 strain, could complement a folC deletion strain, but produced smaller colonies on complex plates and did not grow on minimal medium. In the deletion strain, an increasing requirement for folate product supplements was observed as the folylpolyglutamate synthetase-dihydrofolate synthetase activities of the complementing mutants decreased.     

Spore pool glutamic acid as a metabolite in germination

Spore glutamic acid pools were examined in dormant and germinating spores using colorimetric and (14)C analytical procedures. Germination of spores of Bacillus megaterium (parent strain), initiated by d-glucose, was accompanied by a rapid drop in the level of spore pool glutamate, from 12.0 mug/mg of dry spores to 7.7 mug/mg of dry spores after 30 sec of germination. Similar decreases in extractable spore pool glutamate were observed with l-alanine-initiated germination of B. licheniformis spores. On the other hand, glutamate pools of mutant spores of B. megaterium, with a requirement of gamma-aminobutyric acid for spore germination, remained unchanged for 9 min of germination, at which time more than 50% of the spore population had germinated. Evidence for conversion of spore pool glutamate to gamma-aminobutyric acid during germination of spores of B. megaterium (parent strain) was obtained.     

Enhancement of bacitracin biosynthesis by branched-chain amino acids in a regulatory mutant ofBacillus licheniformis

DL-4-Azaleucine-resistant mutant of Bacillus licheniformis azlr-1 isolated after N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine mutagenesis, was a better bacitracin producer than the parent strain. In the minimal medium, the antibiotic biosynthesis was 4 times higher in the mutant than in the parent strain and less dependent on L-leucine addition. In the complex fermentation medium, the yield was 18-20% higher in the mutant strain. Transaminase B activity measured in the crude extract revealed that the branched-chain amino acid biosynthetic enzymes were 5-10 times derepressed supplying bacitracin synthetase with enhanced quantity of isoleucine and leucine, the building units of bacitracin molecule.     

Regulation of carbon and nitrogen flow by glutamate synthase in Neurospora crassa

A glycine-resistant Neurospora crassa mutant (am-132;glyr), derived from the am-132 mutant, was isolated and characterized. [am-132 itself has a deletion in the structural gene for NADP-dependent glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH).] This new mutation also conferred resistance to serine and methionine sulphoximine (MS), which are inhibitors of glutamine synthetase (GS). In addition, the mutant obtained grew better on ammonium than the am-132 parental strain. Resistance to glycine was not due to increased synthesis of glutamine by an altered or induced GS, nor to increased glutamate synthesis by induction of the catabolic NAD-dependent GDH, nor to NADH-dependent glutamate synthase (GOGAT), which was as sensitive to inhibitors as the GOGAT from the parental strain. The glycine-resistance mutation lowered but did not abolish the carbon flow; this resulted in a lower content of tricarboxylic acid cycle intermediates. GOGAT activity was inhibited in vitro by several organic acids and methionine sulphone (MSF). The higher growth rate of the glycine-resistant mutant on ammonium or on ammonium plus glycine, serine or MS was explained by an increased capacity of GOGAT to synthesize glutamate in vivo due to a lower content of inhibitory tricarboxylic acid cycle intermediates; the higher glutamate content overcomes the effect of the GS inhibitors and explains the MSF resistance of the mutant.

Conidium formation and germination inNeurospora crassa: Glutamic acid metabolism

In order to assess the role of the large (200 μmol/g) pool of glutamic acid normally found in wild-typeNeurospora crassa conidia, the levels of glutamic acid and other amino acids were manipulated by employing a strain blocked in glutamate synthesis. The double mutant strainen(am)-2;am, which has a lesion in NADP-glutamate dehydrogenase (am) and is auxotrophic for glutamate, was employed in order to obtain conidia with a decreased level of glutamic acid. When cultures of this strain were grown in the presence of 50 or 20 mM glutamate as sole nitrogen source, conidia were obtained with a glutamate pool of 97 and 47 μmole/g, respectively, which represents approximately 57 and 28% of the control values obtained from a prototrophic strain. These observations are interpreted to indicate that conidiation can occur even without the accumulation of the entire pool of glutamate in the conidia. However, when conidia of this double mutant strain were incubated in a minimal medium lacking glutamate, germ tube formation was greatly delayed. Germ tube formation was normal in the presence of glutamate or alanine. During germination of conidia in minimal medium, the levels of glutamate, glutamine, aspartic acid, and γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) were measured at different times. The results obtained support the view that glutamic acid was catabolized through the GABA pathway during the very early stages of germination.     

Metabolic changes in Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains lacking citrate synthases

The yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, contains two citrate synthase isoenzymes, mitochondrial (CS1) and cytosolic (CS2). In this study, we have examined the metabolic consequences of the absence of CS1, CS2, and both isoenzymes in the respective mutant strains CS1-, CS2-, and CS1-CS2-. No significant differences were found in the growth rates of the parental, CS1-, or CS2- strains when grown in the single carbon sources galactose, glycerol, lactate, pyruvate, or glutamate. However, in nonfermentable carbon sources, the lag period in growth of CS1- was approximately 4 times that of the parental strain and the CS2- mutant. This difference was found even in glutamate. The CS1- mutant failed to grow on acetate in either complete or minimal liquid medium. Total cellular citrate concentration in the CS1- compared to the parental strain was higher when the cells were grown in lactate or pyruvate. On these same substrates, the malate concentration was 2-fold higher in the CS1-mutant when compared to the parental or CS2- strains. The production of 14CO2 by CS1- from [1-14C]acetate was 36% and that from [2-14C]acetate was 9.2% of the amount from the parental or CS2- strains. The 14CO2 production from [1-14C]glutamate was 28% and 20% in CS1- and CS1-CS2-, respectively, compared to the parental strain. Since these results are not easily explained solely by the absence of mitochondrial citrate synthase enzyme, we also determined the activity of some other enzymes of the citric acid cycle and electron transport chain. We found decreased activity of pyruvate dehydrogenase complex, alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase complex, and aconitase, while the rest of the citric acid cycle enzymes and oxidative enzymes did not change significantly. The same changes in enzyme activities were found in two different yeast strains carrying the same citrate synthase mutations.     

Isolation and characterization of a Saccharomyces cerevisiae mutant with impaired glutamate synthase activity.

A mutant of Saccharomyces cerevisiae that lacks glutamate synthase (GOGAT) activity has been isolated. This mutant was obtained after chemical mutagenesis of a NADP-glutamate dehydrogenase-less mutant strain. The gdh gus mutant is a glutamate auxotroph. The genetic analysis of the gus mutant showed that the GOGAT-less phenotype is due to the presence of two loosely linked mutations. Evidence is presented which suggests the possibility that S. cerevisiae has two GOGAT activities, designated GOGAT A and GOGAT B. These activities can be distinguished by their pH optima and by their regulation by glutamate. Furthermore, one of the mutations responsible for the GOGAT-less phenotype affected GOGAT A activity, while the other mutation affected GOGAT B activity.     

Production of l-Glutamic Acid from Hydrocarbon by Penicillin-resistant Mutants of Corynebacterium hydrocarboclastus

Penicillin-resistant mutants were derived from Corynebacterium hydrocarboclastus R-7. One of them produced 84 g/liter of l-glutamic acid from hydrocarbon, though its parent strain produced 26 g/liter.

The penicillin-resistant mutant had stronger activities of substrate consumption and oxygen absorption than the parent strain, and this was one of the reasons for the accumulation of a larger quantity of l-glutamic acid.

The interacellular content of phosphatidyl inositol mannoside (P.I.M) was related to the glutamate productivity, and the higher glutamate productivity of the penicillin-resistant mutant was supposed to be related to the remarkable diminution in the content of P.I.M.
