Glyoxylate regeneration pathway in the methylotroph Methylobacterium extorquens AM1.
Most serine cycle methylotrophic bacteria lack isocitrate lyase and convert acetyl coenzyme A (acetyl-CoA) to glyoxylate via a novel pathway thought to involve butyryl-CoA and propionyl-CoA as intermediates. In this study we have used a genome analysis approach followed by mutation to test a number of genes for involvement in this novel pathway. We show that methylmalonyl-CoA mutase, an R-speci...
متن کاملMethanol Assimilation in Methylobacterium extorquens AM1: Demonstration of All Enzymes and Their Regulation
BACKGROUND Methylobacterium extorquens AM1 is an aerobic facultative methylotrophic α-proteobacterium that can use reduced one-carbon compounds such as methanol, but also multi-carbon substrates like acetate (C₂) or succinate (C₄) as sole carbon and energy source. The organism has gained interest as future biotechnological production platform based on methanol as feedstock. METHODOLOGY/PRINCI...
متن کاملQscR-mediated transcriptional activation of serine cycle genes in Methylobacterium extorquens AM1.
QscR, a LysR-type regulator, is the major regulator of assimilatory C1 metabolism in Methylobacterium extorquens AM1. It has been shown to interact with the promoters of the two operons that encode the majority of the serine cycle enzymes (sga-hpr-mtdA-fch for the qsc1 operon and mtkA-mtkB-ppc-mclA for the qsc2 operon), as well as with the promoter of glyA and its own promoter. To obtain furthe...
متن کاملCo-Consumption of Methanol and Succinate by Methylobacterium extorquens AM1
Methylobacterium extorquens AM1 is a facultative methylotrophic Alphaproteobacterium and has been subject to intense study under pure methylotrophic as well as pure heterotrophic growth conditions in the past. Here, we investigated the metabolism of M. extorquens AM1 under mixed substrate conditions, i.e., in the presence of methanol plus succinate. We found that both substrates were co-consume...
متن کاملMetabolic engineering of Methylobacterium extorquens AM1 for 1-butanol production
BACKGROUND Butanol is a promising next generation fuel and a bulk chemical precursor. Although clostridia are the primary industrial microbes for the fermentative production of 1-butanol, alternative engineered hosts have the potential to generate 1-butanol from alternative carbon feedstocks via synthetic metabolic pathways. Methylobacterium extorquens AM1, a facultative methylotrophic α-proteo...
