Microaerobic cultivation conditions are often beneficial for the biotechnological production of reduced metabolites like 2,3‐butanediol. However, due to oxygen limitation, process monitoring based on oxygen transfer rate, or dissolved oxygen measurement provides only limited information. In this study, online monitoring of the respiratory quotient is used to investigate the metabolic activity of Bacillus licheniformis DSM 8785 during mixed acid‐2,3‐butanediol production under microaerobic conditions. Thereby, the respiratory quotient provides valuable information about different metabolic phases. Based on partial reaction stoichiometries, the metabolic activity in each phase of the cultivation was revealed, explaining the course of the respiratory quotient. This provides profound information on the formation or consumption of glucose, 2,3‐butanediol, ethanol and lactate, both, in shake flasks and stirred tank reactor cultivations. Furthermore, the average respiratory quotient correlates with the oxygen availability during the cultivation. Carbon mass balancing revealed that this reflects the increased formation of reduced metabolites with increasing oxygen limitation. The results clearly demonstrate that the respiratory quotient is a valuable online signal to reveal and understand the metabolic activity during microaerobic cultivations. The approach of combining respiratory quotient monitoring with stoichiometric considerations can be applied to other organisms and processes to define suitable cultivation conditions to produce the desired product spectrum. 相似文献

Internalized membrane proteins are either transported to late endosomes and lysosomes for degradation or recycled to the plasma membrane. Although proteins involved in trafficking and sorting have been well studied, far less is known about the lipid molecules that regulate the intracellular trafficking of membrane proteins. We studied the function of sphingosine kinases and their metabolites in endosomal trafficking using Drosophila melanogaster photoreceptors as a model system. Gain- and loss-of-function analyses show that sphingosine kinases affect trafficking of the G protein-coupled receptor Rhodopsin and the light-sensitive transient receptor potential (TRP) channel by modulating the levels of dihydrosphingosine 1 phosphate (DHS1P) and sphingosine 1 phosphate (S1P). An increase in DHS1P levels relative to S1P leads to the enhanced lysosomal degradation of Rhodopsin and TRP and retinal degeneration in wild-type photoreceptors. Our results suggest that sphingosine kinases and their metabolites modulate photoreceptor homeostasis by influencing endolysosomal trafficking of Rhodopsin and TRP. 相似文献

Eucommia ulmoides Oliver is one of a few woody plants capable of producing abundant quantities of trans-polyisoprene rubber in their leaves, barks, and seed coats. One cDNA library each was constructed from its outer stem tissue and inner stem tissue. They comprised a total of 27,752 expressed sequence tags (ESTs) representing 10,520 unigenes made up of 4,302 contigs and 6,218 singletons. Homologues of genes coding for rubber particle membrane proteins that participate in the synthesis of high-molecular poly-isoprene in latex were isolated, as well as those encoding known major latex proteins (MLPs). MLPs extensively shared ESTs, indicating their abundant expression during trans-polyisoprene rubber biosynthesis. The six mevalonate pathway genes which are implicated in the synthesis of isopentenyl diphosphate (IPP), a starting material of poly-isoprene biosynthesis, were isolated, and their role in IPP biosynthesis was confirmed by functional complementation of suitable yeast mutants. Genes encoding five full-length trans-isoprenyl diphosphate synthases were also isolated, and two among those synthesized farnesyl diphosphate from IPP and dimethylallyl diphosphate, an assumed intermediate of rubber biosynthesis. This study should provide a valuable resource for further studies of rubber synthesis in E. ulmoides. 相似文献

Novel tools are needed for efficient analysis and visualization of the massive data sets associated with metabolomics. Here, we describe a batch-learning self-organizing map (BL-SOM) for metabolome informatics that makes the learning process and resulting map independent of the order of data input. This approach was successfully used in analyzing and organizing the metabolome data forArabidopsis thaliana cells cultured under salt stress. Our 6 × 4 matrix presented patterns of metabolite levels at different time periods. A negative correlation was found between the levels of amino acids and metabolites related to glycolysis metabolism in response to this stress. Therefore, BL-SOM could be an excellent tool for clustering and visualizing high dimensional, complex metabolome data in a single map. 相似文献

This review describes efficient means of preparing optically pure insect pheromones and related compounds via lipase-catalyzed enantioselective reaction on a large scale. (1) A new synthesis of the Japanese beetle pheromone, (R,Z)-(−)-5-(1-decenyl)oxacyclopentan-2-one, established by a combination of two lipase-catalyzed transformation was demonstrated. (2) A chemico-enzymatic procedure for the syntheses of both enantiomers of cupreous chafer beetle pheromone, (R,Z)- and (S,Z)-5-(1-octenyl)oxacyclopentan-2-one, was described. (3) An optical resolution of (±)-2,3-epoxy-8-methyl-1-nonanol, the key intermediate of the synthesis of gypsy moth pheromone, was demonstrated. (4) A practical chemico-enzymatic synthesis of (+)-disparlure in large scale was demonstrated. (5) A facile synthesis of carboxyalkyl acrylate, which is special monomers in the synthesis of the new polymers, by two lipase-catalyzed regioselective reactions was described. 相似文献

Stable isotope dilution-based comparative quantification of nitrogen-containing metabolites for highly sensitive and selective metabolomics was developed using liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC/MS) and (15)N-isotope enrichment. We produced metabolically stable isotope-labeled Arabidopsis T87 cells by culturing with (15)N-labeled medium. We found that the growth of cells maintained in (15)N-labeled medium is very similar to the growth in normal medium, as evidenced by cell morphology, doubling time, and measurement of chlorophyll and carotenoid contents. Complete incorporation of (15)N in folate, S-adenosylmethionine (SAM), and S-adenosylhomocysteine (SAH) in T87 cells was accomplished after culturing for 21 d. Accurate comparative quantification of folate, SAM, and SAH was established by means of LC/MS using the isotopomers of the target metabolites as internal standards. The within- and between-run assay coefficients of variation for the folate, SAM, and SAH levels were all less than 8.5%. Stable isotope labeling by nitrogen source in Arabidopsis T87 cell culture provided simple, inexpensive, and accurate amino acid profiling. This interesting new protocol is valuable for the study of dynamic changes in N-compound pools in cultured cells. 相似文献

A novel Nostoc commune-polysaccharide (NPS)-degrading enzyme with a molecular mass of 128.5 kDa was purified from Paenibacillus glycanilyticus DS-1. The optimum pH and temperature of the enzyme activity were 5.5 and 35 degrees C, respectively. The enzyme completely degraded NPS to oligosaccharides, ranging from tetra to hexasaccharides and could degrade the xylan weakly whereas xanthan, gellan, cellulose, curdlan and p-nitrophenyl-beta-D-xylopyranoside were not degraded. Homology analysis of the N-terminal amino acid sequence of the NPS-degrading enzyme against the PIR and SWISS-PROT databases indicated that the sequence was not homologous to any other polysaccharide-degrading enzyme. 相似文献

Double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) induces sequence-specific gene silencing in eukaryotes through a process known as RNA interference (RNAi). RNAi is now used as a powerful tool for functional genomics in many eukaryotes, including plants. We herein report a dsRNA-mediated transient RNAi assay system using protoplasts from Arabidopsis mesophyll cells and suspension-cultured cells (cell line T87). Introduction of dsRNA into protoplasts led to marked silencing of target transgenes. Our assay system would provide a convenient and efficient way to induce RNAi in protoplasts of the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana. 相似文献

Methanol production is enhanced by expression of an Aspergillus niger pectin methylesterase in tobacco cells 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Tobacco suspension culture cell (Nicotiana tabacum, BY2) was transformed with an Aspergillus niger pectin methylesterase (PME; EC 3.1.1.11) cDNA under the control of cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV) 35S promoter. The transformant indicated a significant rise of PME and the level of methanol in the transformant increased by 28.7% compared to the vector control transformant. This is the first report of methanol overproduction in plant cells by means of genetic engineering. 相似文献
