5-Aminolevulinic acid promotes arachidonic acid biosynthesis in the red microalga Porphyridium purpureum
BACKGROUND The microalga Porphyridium purpureum within Rhodophyta abundantly produces several valuable proteins, polysaccharides, pigments and long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid; it is especially effective in accumulating arachidonic acid (ARA). However, this high ARA yield is always achieved in conditions unfavourable for cell growth. In this study, we present a method for obtaining desirab...
متن کاملGenome of the red alga Porphyridium purpureum
The limited knowledge we have about red algal genomes comes from the highly specialized extremophiles, Cyanidiophyceae. Here, we describe the first genome sequence from a mesophilic, unicellular red alga, Porphyridium purpureum. The 8,355 predicted genes in P. purpureum, hundreds of which are likely to be implicated in a history of horizontal gene transfer, reside in a genome of 19.7 Mbp with 2...
متن کاملGlutamic Acid-l-semialdehyde, a Hypothetical Intermediate in the Biosynthesis of 5-Aminolevulinic Acid
W hether glutamate-l-sem ialdehyde (G -l-SA ) or 4,5 dioxovalerate (DOVA) is the intermedi ate between glutamate and A LA in the C-5 tetrapyrrol pathway is still a matter of controversy. Since no data characterizing G -l-SA are available it is not possible either to identify G -l-SA as intermediate or a precursor of ALA. Therefore, attem pts were made to establish a chemical synthesis of this ...
متن کامل5-Aminolevulinic acid synthesis in Escherichia coli.
A hemA mutant of Escherichia coli containing a multicopy plasmid which complemented the mutation excreted 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) into the medium. [1-14C]glutamate was substantially incorporated into ALA by this strain, whereas [2-14C]glycine was not. Periodate degradation of labeled ALA showed that C-5 of ALA was derived from C-1 of glutamate. The synthesis of ALA by two sonicate fractions...
متن کاملOptimization of the heme biosynthesis pathway for the production of 5-aminolevulinic acid in Escherichia coli
5-Aminolevulinic acid (ALA), the committed intermediate of the heme biosynthesis pathway, shows significant promise for cancer treatment. Here, we identified that in addition to hemA and hemL, hemB, hemD, hemF, hemG and hemH are also the major regulatory targets of the heme biosynthesis pathway. Interestingly, up-regulation of hemD and hemF benefited ALA accumulation whereas overexpression of h...
