چکیده

By taking advantage of the available genome sequence of Ralstonia eutropha H16, glucose uptake in the UV-generated glucose-utilizing mutant R. eutropha G(+)1 was investigated by transcriptomic and proteomic analyses. Data revealed clear evidence that glucose is transported by a usually N-acetylglucosamine-specific phosphotransferase system (PTS)-type transport system, which in this mutant is probably overexpressed due to a derepression of the encoding nag operon by an identified insertion mutation in gene H16_A0310 (nagR). Furthermore, a missense mutation in nagE (membrane component EIICB), which yields a substitution of an alanine by threonine in NagE and may additionally increase glucose uptake, was identified. Phosphorylation of glucose is subsequently mediated by NagF (cytosolic PTS component EIIA-HPr-EI) or glucokinase (GlK), respectively. The inability of the defined deletion mutant R. eutropha G(+)1 ΔnagFEC to utilize glucose strongly confirms this finding. In addition, secondary effects of glucose, which is now intracellularly available as a carbon source, on the metabolism of the mutant cells in the stationary growth phase occurred: intracellular glucose degradation is stimulated by the stronger expression of enzymes involved in the 2-keto-3-deoxygluconate 6-phosphate (KDPG) pathway and in subsequent reactions yielding pyruvate. The intermediate phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) in turn supports further glucose uptake by the Nag PTS. Pyruvate is then decarboxylated by the pyruvate dehydrogenase multienzyme complex to acetyl coenzyme A (acetyl-CoA), which is directed to poly(3-hydroxybutyrate). The polyester is then synthesized to a greater extent, as also indicated by the upregulation of various enzymes of poly-β-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) metabolism. The larger amounts of NADPH required for PHB synthesis are delivered by significantly increased quantities of proton-translocating NAD(P) transhydrogenases. The current study successfully combined transcriptomic and proteomic investigations to unravel the phenotype of this hitherto-undefined glucose-utilizing mutant.

Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) synthesis genes in Azotobacter sp. strain FA8.

Genes responsible for the synthesis of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) in Azotobacter sp. FA8 were cloned and analyzed. A PHB polymerase gene (phbC) was found downstream from genes coding for beta-ketothiolase (phbA) and acetoacetyl-coenzyme A reductase (phbB). A PHB synthase mutant was obtained by gene inactivation and used for genetic studies. The phbC gene from this strain was introduced into ...
