Multiple genes for the last step of proline biosynthesis in Bacillus subtilis.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The complete Bacillus subtilis genome contains four genes (proG, proH, proI, and comER) with the potential to encode Delta(1)-pyrroline-5-carboxylate reductase, a proline biosynthetic enzyme. Simultaneous defects in three of these genes (proG, proH, and proI) were required to confer proline auxotrophy, indicating that the products of these genes are mostly interchangeable with respect to the last step in proline biosynthesis.

The significance of proline and glutamate on butanol chaotropic stress in Bacillus subtilis 168
BACKGROUND Butanol is an intensively used industrial solvent and an attractive alternative biofuel, but the bioproduction suffers from its high toxicity. Among the native butanol producers and heterologous butanol-producing hosts, Bacillus subtilis 168 exhibited relatively higher butanol tolerance. Nevertheless, organic solvent tolerance mechanisms in Bacilli and Gram-positive bacteria have rel...
متن کاملFunctional Characterization of Four Putative δ1-Pyrroline-5-Carboxylate Reductases from Bacillus subtilis
In most living organisms, the amino acid proline is synthesized starting from both glutamate and ornithine. In prokaryotes, in the absence of an ornithine cyclodeaminase that has been identified to date only in a small number of soil and plant bacteria, these pathways share the last step, the reduction of δ1-pyrroline-5-carboxylate (P5C) catalyzed by P5C reductase (EC 1.5.1.2). In several speci...
متن کاملA New Physiological Role for CcpA in Adaptation of Bacillus Subtilis to Sugar-Induced Osmotic Stress
The model Gram-positive bacterium Bacillus subtilis is liable to be exposed to high-salinity environments in its natural habitats and is often used in fermentation with high concentrations of glucose or other sugars. High salinity or high concentrations of sugars can cause osmotic stress to B. subtilis [1]. The saltinduced osmotic stress can activate signalling pathways to induce expression of ...
متن کاملFlux Distribution in Bacillus subtilis: Inspection on Plurality of Optimal Solutions
Linear programming problems with alternate solutions are challenging due to the choice of multiple strategiesresulting in the same optimal value of the objective function. However, searching for these solutions is atedious task, especially when using mixed integer linear programming (MILP), as previously applied tometabolic models. Therefore, judgment on plurality of optimal m...
متن کاملAn alternative bacterial expression system using Bacillus pumilus SG2 chitinase promoter
Background: Chitin is an abundant natural polysaccharide found in fungi, algae, and exoskeleton of insects. Several bacterial species are capable of utilizing chitin as their carbon source. These bacteria produce chitinases for degradation of chitin into N-acetyl-D-glucosamine. So far, regulation of the chitinase encoding genes has been studied in different bacterial species. Among Bacillus spe...
