Programmed cell death (PCD) is essential for both plant development and stress responses including immunity. However, how plants control PCD is not well-understood. The shikimate pathway is one of the most important metabolic pathways in plants, but its relationship to PCD is unknown. Here, we show that the shikimate pathway promotes PCD in Arabidopsis. We identify a photoperiod-dependent lesion-mimic mutant named Lesion in short-day (lis), which forms spontaneous lesions in short-day conditions. Map-based cloning and whole-genome resequencing reveal that LIS encodes MEE32, a bifunctional enzyme in the shikimate pathway. Metabolic analysis shows that the level of shikimate is dramatically increased in lis. Through genetic screenings, three suppressors of lis (slis) are identified and the causal genes are cloned. SLISes encode proteins upstream of MEE32 in the shikimate pathway. Furthermore, exogenous shikimate treatment causes PCD. Our study uncovers a link between the shikimate pathway and PCD, and suggests that the accumulation of shikimate is an alternative explanation for the action of glyphosate, the most successful herbicide. 相似文献

Corynebacterium glutamicum with the ability to simultaneously utilize glucose/pentose mixed sugars was metabolically engineered to overproduce shikimate, a valuable hydroaromatic compound used as a starting material for the synthesis of the anti-influenza drug oseltamivir. To achieve this, the shikimate kinase and other potential metabolic activities for the consumption of shikimate and its precursor dehydroshikimate were inactivated. Carbon flux toward shikimate synthesis was enhanced by overexpression of genes for the shikimate pathway and the non-oxidative pentose phosphate pathway. Subsequently, to improve the availability of the key aromatics precursor phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) toward shikimate synthesis, the PEP: sugar phosphotransferase system (PTS) was inactivated and an endogenous myo-inositol transporter IolT1 and glucokinases were overexpressed. Unexpectedly, the resultant non-PTS strain accumulated 1,3-dihydroxyacetone (DHA) and glycerol as major byproducts. This observation and metabolome analysis identified glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH)-catalyzed reaction as a limiting step in glycolysis. Consistently, overexpression of GAPDH significantly stimulated both glucose consumption and shikimate production. Blockage of the DHA synthesis further improved shikimate yield. We applied an aerobic, growth-arrested and high-density cell reaction to the shikimate production by the resulting strain and notably achieved the highest shikimate titer (141 g/l) and a yield (51% (mol/mol)) from glucose reported to date after 48 h in minimal medium lacking nutrients required for cell growth. Moreover, comparable shikimate productivity could be attained through simultaneous utilization of glucose, xylose, and arabinose, enabling efficient shikimate production from lignocellulosic feedstocks. These findings demonstrate that C. glutamicum has significant potential for the production of shikimate and derived aromatic compounds. 相似文献

In the presence of the nonselective herbicide glyphosate (N-[phosphonomethyl]glycine), buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum Moench) hypocotyls and cultured cells of Galium mollugo L. accumulate an organic acid, which was identified as shikimate by mass-spectroscopy of its methyl ester. After growth in 0.5 millimolar glyphosate for 10 days, G. mollugo cells contained shikimate in amounts of up to 10% of their dry weight. Synthesis of chorismate-derived anthraquinones in G. mollugo was blocked by glyphosate. Chorismate and o-succinylbenzoate (an anthraquinone precursor) alleviated the inhibition. The conclusion drawn from these experiments, that glyphosate inhibits a step in the biosynthetic sequence from shikimate to chorismate, was substantiated by the finding that glyphosate is a powerful inhibitor of the conversion of shikimate to chorismate in cell-free extracts from Aerobacter aerogenes 62-1. 相似文献

Sorghum bicolor stems and shoots were observed to phosphorylate exogenously supplied shikimate, forming a product which could not be distinguished from shikimate 3-phosphate by anion exchange and thin layer chromatography. Upon treatment with phosphatase, this product gave rise to a compound which co-chromatographed with shikimate. 相似文献

The function of three Corynebacterium glutamicum shikimate dehydrogenase homologues, designated as qsuD (cgR_0495), cgR_1216, and aroE (cgR_1677), was investigated. A disruptant of aroE required shikimate for growth, whereas a qsuD-deficient strain did not grow in medium supplemented with either quinate or shikimate as sole carbon sources. There was no discernible difference in growth rate between wild-type and a cgR_1216-deficient strain. Enzymatic assays showed that AroE both reduced 3-dehydroshikimate, using NADPH as cofactor, and oxidized shikimate, the reverse reaction, using NADP+ as cofactor. The reduction reaction was ten times faster than the oxidation. QsuD reduced 3-dehydroquinate using NADH and oxidized quinate using NAD+ as cofactor. Different from the other two homologues, the product of cgR_1216 displayed considerably lower enzyme activity for both the reduction and the oxidation. The catalytic reaction of QsuD and AroE was highly susceptible to pH. Furthermore, reduction of 3-dehydroshikimate by AroE was inhibited by high concentrations of shikimate, but neither quinate nor aromatic amino acids had any effect on the reaction. Expression of qsuD mRNA was strongly enhanced in the presence of shikimate, whereas that of cgR_1216 and aroE decreased. We conclude that while AroE is the main catalyst for shikimate production in the shikimate pathway, QsuD is essential for quinate/shikimate utilization. 相似文献

The shikimate pathway leads to the biosynthesis of aromatic amino acids essential for protein biosynthesis and the production of a wide array of plant secondary metabolites. Among them, quinate is an astringent feeding deterrent that can be formed in a single step reaction from 3-dehydroquinate catalyzed by quinate dehydrogenase (QDH). 3-Dehydroquinate is also the substrate for shikimate biosynthesis through the sequential actions of dehydroquinate dehydratase (DQD) and shikimate dehydrogenase (SDH) contained in a single protein in plants. The reaction mechanism of QDH resembles that of SDH. The poplar genome encodes five DQD/SDH-like genes (Poptr1 to Poptr5), which have diverged into two distinct groups based on sequence analysis and protein structure prediction. In vitro biochemical assays proved that Poptr1 and -5 are true DQD/SDHs, whereas Poptr2 and -3 instead have QDH activity with only residual DQD/SDH activity. Poplar DQD/SDHs have distinct expression profiles suggesting separate roles in protein and lignin biosynthesis. Also, the QDH genes are differentially expressed. In summary, quinate (secondary metabolism) and shikimate (primary metabolism) metabolic activities are encoded by distinct members of the same gene family, each having different physiological functions. 相似文献

A new assay for 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase is described. This enzyme of the shikimate pathway of aromatic amino acid biosynthesis generates 5-enolpyruvylshikimate 3-phosphate and orthophosphate from phosphoenolpyruvate and shikimate 3-phosphate. The shikimate pathway is present in bacteria and plants but not in mammals. The assay employs a paper-chromatographic separation of radiolabeled substrate from product. The method is specific, is sensitive to 50 pmol of product, and is suitable for use in crude extracts of bacteria. This enzyme appears to be the primary target site of the commercial herbicide glyphosate (N-phosphonomethyl glycine). A procedure for the enzymatic synthesis of [14C]shikimate 3-phosphate from the commercially available precursor [14C]shikimic acid is also described. 相似文献

The plant shikimate pathway directs bulk carbon flow toward biosynthesis of aromatic amino acids (AAAs, i.e. tyrosine, phenylalanine, and tryptophan) and numerous aromatic phytochemicals. The microbial shikimate pathway is feedback inhibited by AAAs at the first enzyme, 3-deoxy-d-arabino-heptulosonate 7-phosphate synthase (DHS). However, AAAs generally do not inhibit DHS activities from plant extracts and how plants regulate the shikimate pathway remains elusive. Here, we characterized recombinant Arabidopsis thaliana DHSs (AthDHSs) and found that tyrosine and tryptophan inhibit AthDHS2, but not AthDHS1 or AthDHS3. Mixing AthDHS2 with AthDHS1 or 3 attenuated its inhibition. The AAA and phenylpropanoid pathway intermediates chorismate and caffeate, respectively, strongly inhibited all AthDHSs, while the arogenate intermediate counteracted the AthDHS1 or 3 inhibition by chorismate. AAAs inhibited DHS activity in young seedlings, where AthDHS2 is highly expressed, but not in mature leaves, where AthDHS1 is predominantly expressed. Arabidopsis dhs1 and dhs3 knockout mutants were hypersensitive to tyrosine and tryptophan, respectively, while dhs2 was resistant to tyrosine-mediated growth inhibition. dhs1 and dhs3 also had reduced anthocyanin accumulation under high light stress. These findings reveal the highly complex regulation of the entry reaction of the plant shikimate pathway and lay the foundation for efforts to control the production of AAAs and diverse aromatic natural products in plants.Characterization of Arabidopsis 3-deoxy-D-arabino-heptulosonate 7-phosphate synthase enzymes and mutants revealed highly complex metabolite-mediated feedback regulation of the plant shikimate pathway. 相似文献

Due to the emergence of resistance toward current antibiotics, there is a pressing need to develop the next generation of antibiotics as therapeutics against infectious and opportunistic diseases of microbial origins. The shikimate pathway is exclusive to microbes, plants and fungi, and hence is an attractive and logical target for development of antimicrobial therapeutics. The Gram-positive commensal microbe, Enterococcus faecalis, is a major human pathogen associated with nosocomial infections and resistance to vancomycin, the “drug of last resort”. Here, we report the identification of several polyketide-based inhibitors against the E. faecalis shikimate pathway enzyme, 3-dehydroquinate dehydratase (DHQase). In particular, marein, a flavonoid polyketide, both inhibited DHQase and retarded the growth of Enterococcus faecalis. The purification, crystallization and structural resolution of recombinant DHQase from E. faecalis (at 2.2 Å resolution) are also reported. This study provides a route in the development of polyketide-based antimicrobial inhibitors targeting the shikimate pathway of the human pathogen E. faecalis. 相似文献

The dicarboxylic acid muconic acid has garnered significant interest due to its potential use as a platform chemical for the production of several valuable consumer bio-plastics including nylon-6,6 and polyurethane (via an adipic acid intermediate) and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) (via a terephthalic acid intermediate). Many process advantages (including lower pH levels) support the production of this molecule in yeast. Here, we present the first heterologous production of muconic acid in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. A three-step synthetic, composite pathway comprised of the enzymes dehydroshikimate dehydratase from Podospora anserina, protocatechuic acid decarboxylase from Enterobacter cloacae, and catechol 1,2-dioxygenase from Candida albicans was imported into yeast. Further genetic modifications guided by metabolic modeling and feedback inhibition mitigation were introduced to increase precursor availability. Specifically, the knockout of ARO3 and overexpression of a feedback-resistant mutant of aro4 reduced feedback inhibition in the shikimate pathway, and the zwf1 deletion and over-expression of TKL1 increased flux of necessary precursors into the pathway. Further balancing of the heterologous enzyme levels led to a final titer of nearly 141 mg/L muconic acid in a shake-flask culture, a value nearly 24-fold higher than the initial strain. Moreover, this strain has the highest titer and second highest yield of any reported shikimate and aromatic amino acid-based molecule in yeast in a simple batch condition. This work collectively demonstrates that yeast has the potential to be a platform for the bioproduction of muconic acid and suggests an area that is ripe for future metabolic engineering efforts. 相似文献

The development of fast and effective spectroscopic methods that can detect most compounds in an untargeted manner is of increasing interest in plant extracts fingerprinting or profiling projects. Metabolite fingerprinting by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) is a fast growing field which is increasingly applied for quality control of herbal products, mostly via 1D 1H NMR coupled to multivariate data analysis. Nevertheless, signal overlap is a common problem in 1H NMR profiles that hinders metabolites identification and results in incomplete data interpretation. Herein, we introduce a novel approach in coupling 2D NMR datasets with principal component analysis (PCA) exemplified for hop resin classification. Heteronuclear multiple bond correlation (HMBC) profile maps of hop resins (Humulus lupulus) were generated for a comparative study of 13 hop cultivars. The method described herein combines reproducible metabolite fingerprints with a minimal sample preparation effort and an experimental time of ca. 28 min per sample, comparable to that of a standard HPLC run. Moreover, HMBC spectra provide not only unequivocal assignment of hop major secondary metabolites, but also allow to identify several isomerization and degradation products of hop bitter acids including the sedative principal of hop (2-methylbut-3-en-2-ol). We do believe that combining 2D NMR datasets to chemometrics, i.e. PCA, has great potential for application in other plant metabolome projects of (commercially relevant) nutraceuticals and or herbal drugs. 相似文献

Protocatechuic acid (3, 4-dihydroxybenzoic acid, PCA) is a natural bioactive phenolic acid potentially valuable as a pharmaceutical raw material owing to its diverse pharmacological activities. Corynebacterium glutamicum forms PCA as a key intermediate in a native pathway to assimilate shikimate/quinate through direct conversion of the shikimate pathway intermediate 3-dehydroshikimate (DHS), which is catalyzed by qsuB-encoded DHS dehydratase (the DHS pathway). PCA can also be formed via an alternate pathway extending from chorismate by introducing heterologous chorismate pyruvate lyase that converts chorismate into 4-hydroxybenzoate (4-HBA), which is then converted into PCA catalyzed by endogenous 4-HBA 3-hydroxylase (the 4-HBA pathway). In this study, we generated three plasmid-free C. glutamicum strains overproducing PCA based on the markerless chromosomal recombination by engineering each or both of the above mentioned two PCA-biosynthetic pathways combined with engineering of the host metabolism to enhance the shikimate pathway flux and to block PCA consumption. Aerobic growth-arrested cell reactions were performed using the resulting engineered strains, which revealed that strains dependent on either the DHS or 4-HBA pathway as the sole PCA-biosynthetic route produced 43.8 and 26.2 g/L of PCA from glucose with a yield of 35.3% and 10.0% (mol/mol), respectively, indicating that PCA production through the DHS pathway is significantly efficient compared to that produced through the 4-HBA pathway. Remarkably, a strain simultaneously using both DHS and 4-HBA pathways achieved the highest reported PCA productivity of 82.7 g/L with a yield of 32.8% (mol/mol) from glucose in growth-arrested cell reaction. These results indicated that simultaneous engineering of both DHS and 4-HBA pathways is an efficient method for PCA production. The generated PCA-overproducing strain is plasmid-free and does not require supplementation of aromatic amino acids and vitamins due to the intact shikimate pathway, thereby representing a promising platform for the industrial bioproduction of PCA and derived chemicals from renewable sugars. 相似文献

During meiosis, homologous recombination (HR) is essential to repair programmed DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs), and a dedicated protein machinery ensures that the homologous chromosome is favored over the nearby sister chromatid as a repair template. The HOMOLOGOUS-PAIRING PROTEIN2/MEIOTIC NUCLEAR DIVISION PROTEIN1 (HOP2/MND1) protein complex has been identified as a crucial factor of meiotic HR in Arabidopsis thaliana, since loss of either MND1 or HOP2 results in failure of DNA repair. We isolated two mutant alleles of HOP2 (hop2-2 and hop2-3) that retained the capacity to repair meiotic DSBs via the sister chromatid but failed to use the homologous chromosome. We show that in these alleles, the recombinases RADIATION SENSITIVE51 (RAD51) and DISRUPTED MEIOTIC cDNA1 (DMC1) are loaded, but only the intersister DNA repair pathway is activated. The hop2-2 phenotype is correlated with a decrease in HOP2/MND1 complex abundance. In hop2-3, a truncated HOP2 protein is produced that retains its ability to bind to DMC1 and DNA but forms less stable complexes with MND1 and fails to efficiently stimulate DMC1-driven D-loop formation. Genetic analyses demonstrated that in the absence of DMC1, HOP2/MND1 is dispensable for RAD51-mediated intersister DNA repair, while in the presence of DMC1, a minimal amount of functional HOP2/MND1 is essential to drive intersister DNA repair. 相似文献

The activity of the membrane-bound H+-ATPase of the beer spoilage bacterium Lactobacillus brevis ABBC45 increased upon adaptation to bacteriostatic hop compounds. The ATPase activity was optimal around pH 5.6 and increased up to fourfold when L. brevis was exposed to 666 μM hop compounds. The extent of activation depended on the concentration of hop compounds and was maximal at the highest concentration tested. The ATPase activity was strongly inhibited by N,N′-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide, a known inhibitor of FoF1-ATPase. Western blots of membrane proteins of L. brevis with antisera raised against the α- and β-subunits of FoF1-ATPase from Enterococcus hirae showed that there was increased expression of the ATPase after hop adaptation. The expression levels, as well as the ATPase activity, decreased to the initial nonadapted levels when the hop-adapted cells were cultured further without hop compounds. These observations strongly indicate that proton pumping by the membrane-bound ATPase contributes considerably to the resistance of L. brevis to hop compounds. 相似文献

Resistance to hops is a prerequisite for lactic acid bacteria to spoil beer. In this study we analyzed mechanisms of hop resistance of Lactobacillus brevis at the metabolism, membrane physiology, and cell wall composition levels. The beer-spoiling organism L. brevis TMW 1.465 was adapted to high concentrations of hop compounds and compared to a nonadapted strain. Upon adaptation to hops the metabolism changed to minimize ethanol stress. Fructose was used predominantly as a carbon source by the nonadapted strain but served as an electron acceptor upon adaptation to hops, with concomitant formation of acetate instead of ethanol. Furthermore, hop adaptation resulted in higher levels of lipoteichoic acids (LTA) incorporated into the cell wall and altered composition and fluidity of the cytoplasmic membrane. The putative transport protein HitA and enzymes of the arginine deiminase pathway were overexpressed upon hop adaptation. HorA was not expressed, and the transport of hop compounds from the membrane to the extracellular space did not account for increased resistance to hops upon adaptation. Accordingly, hop resistance is a multifactorial dynamic property, which can develop during adaptation. During hop adaptation, arginine catabolism contributes to energy and generation of the proton motive force until a small fraction of the population has established structural improvements. This acquired hop resistance is energy independent and involves an altered cell wall composition. LTA shields the organism from accompanying stresses and provides a reservoir of divalent cations, which are otherwise scarce as a result of their complexation by hop acids. Some of the mechanisms involved in hop resistance overlap with mechanisms of pH resistance and ethanol tolerance and as a result enable beer spoilage by L. brevis. 相似文献

Glyphosate Induces 3-Deoxy-d-arabino-Heptulosonate 7-Phosphate Synthase in Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) Cells Grown in Suspension Culture 总被引:7,自引:6,他引:1
The activity of the first enzyme of the shikimate pathway, 3-deoxy-d-arabino-heptulosonate 7-phosphate synthase, varies during the growth cycle of Solanum tuberosum L. cv superior cells in suspension culture. Maximum specific enzyme activity was observed midway through the linear phase of growth. When mid-log phase cells are exposed to glyphosate, the specific activity of the enzyme increases severalfold within 24 hours. The glyphosate-induced increase in enzyme activity is due to an increase in the amount of enzyme as determined by immunoblotting. Glyphosate (up to 2 millimolar) has no effect on the enzyme activity in vitro. Dehydroquinate synthase, the second enzyme of the shikimate pathway, is not induced by glyphosate. 相似文献

Mycobacterium tuberculosis shikimate dehydrogenase (MtbSD) catalyzes the forth reaction in the shikimate pathway. Here we describe production of K69A, K69H, K69I, K69Q, D105A, and D105N mutant proteins. Screening of several conditions was performed to optimize MtbSD production yield, and an improved purification protocol to obtain homogeneous MtbSD is presented. The rational design of new antitubercular drugs hinges on the availability of M. tuberculosis proteins. Our results show that optimization of expression, disruption, and purification protocols resulted in a higher yield of functional MtbSD enzyme. 相似文献
