比较pta及ack敲除对钝齿棒杆菌产L-精氨酸生理代谢的影响

旁支代谢途径的截断有利于目的氨基酸合成途径的集流。基于基因组尺度代谢网络模型的预测,以钝齿棒杆菌(Corynebacterium crenatum)MT-M4为出发菌株,通过无痕敲除技术分别敲除了编码磷酸乙酰基转移酶的pta基因及编码乙酸激酶的ack基因,阻断了乙酸的合成。摇瓶发酵结果表明,pta缺失菌株精氨酸产量较出发菌株提高了25.60%,达15.46g/L。葡萄糖转化率提高了29.41%;ack缺失菌株精氨酸产量达13.82g/L,较出发菌株提高了12.81%,葡萄糖转化率提高了26.02%。同时,pta及ack敲除菌株的细胞生长较出发菌株均分别提高了9.19%及7.71%。因此,pta、ack的敲除不仅有利于精氨酸的合成,而且对菌体生长具有促进作用;但pta的敲除更有利于精氨酸的积累。     

钝齿棒杆菌GlnK在氮代谢调控及L-精氨酸合成中的功能

【目的】钝齿棒杆菌是重要的氨基酸生产菌株,本研究针对氮代谢PⅡ信号转导蛋白GlnK展开相关功能研究,分析其在钝齿棒杆菌氮代谢调控及L-精氨酸合成中的作用。【方法】以GlnK蛋白为研究对象,通过基因敲除等遗传方法获得过表达、敲除及敲弱glnK的重组钝齿棒杆菌,研究GlnK对NH_4~+吸收的影响,通过RT-qPCR和酶活测定,从转录水平和蛋白水平上揭示GlnK对氮代谢和L-精氨酸合成相关基因表达水平及酶活的影响,通过5-L发酵罐发酵产L-精氨酸研究GlnK对L-精氨酸合成的影响。【结果】过表达glnK能明显促进NH_4~+的吸收,而敲除glnK后则会抑制NH_4~+的摄取;RT-qPCR和酶活测定发现,相比于野生型菌株Cc5-5,glnK过表达菌株Cc-glnK中与铵吸收相关的基因,表达量平均上调约4.58倍,L-精氨酸合成基因簇中基因的表达水平平均上调1.50倍。Cc-glnK中氮代谢相关蛋白的酶活平均提高46.97%;L-精氨酸合成途径上7个关键酶的酶活平均提高30.00%;5-L发酵罐发酵各重组菌株结果表明,Cc-glnK菌株的产量可达49.53 g/L,产率为0.516 g/(L·h),相比于出发菌株Cc5-5,其L-精氨酸产量提高了28.65%。【结论】过表达GlnK能促进NH_4~+的吸收及利用,并通过影响L-精氨酸合成途径上关键基因的表达水平,提高关键酶的酶活,最终提高L-精氨酸的产量。本研究为后续探索钝齿棒杆菌氮代谢调控机制及代谢工程改造钝齿棒杆菌生产L-精氨酸提供了一种新的策略。

钝齿棒杆菌丙酮酸激酶的克隆表达及其对精氨酸合成的扰动影响

钝齿棒杆菌(Corynebacterium crenatum)SYPA 5-5是诱变选育的一株高产精氨酸菌株。丙酮酸激酶(pyruvate kinase)是EMP途径的限速酶,对胞内能量产生和代谢流调节方面都有重要作用。为提高葡萄糖消耗速率以缩短发酵周期,以钝齿棒杆菌基因组为模板,克隆得到pyk基因并将其在C.crenatum SYPA 5-5中成功表达,葡萄糖平均消耗速率为1.71 g/L/h较C.crenatum SYPA 5-5提高33.5%,精氨酸产量和最大产率分别为43.32 g/L和0.55 g/L/h较C.crenatum SYPA 5-5分别提高20%和19.5%。结果表明,加强表达丙酮酸激酶能增强EMP途径,提高精氨酸产量。     

外源精氨酸对谷氨酸棒杆菌在高葡萄糖胁迫下生长和发酵特性的影响

【目的】探究外源添加不同氨基酸和相容性溶质对谷氨酸棒杆菌(Corynebacterium glutamicum)在高糖胁迫环境下生长的影响及可能的作用机理。【方法】通过在培养基中外源添加各种氨基酸和相容性溶质,研究其对谷氨酸棒杆菌在高葡萄糖和高蔗糖胁迫下生长的影响,并分析添加精氨酸对高葡萄糖胁迫下菌株糖转运和代谢途径中关键酶转录水平的影响,以及对菌株发酵产氨基酸的影响。进一步探究了碱性氨基酸在其它棒状杆菌属中抵御高葡萄糖胁迫的潜在作用。【结果】在高葡萄糖胁迫条件下,外源添加赖氨酸、精氨酸和组氨酸后谷氨酸棒杆菌的生物量分别提高54.7%、50.0%和37.6%;而在高蔗糖胁迫条件下,添加脯氨酸和四氢嘧啶后菌株生物量增加20%以上。进一步研究表明,在高葡萄糖胁迫下,外源添加精氨酸后谷氨酸棒杆菌的葡萄糖利用速率提高约2.5倍,谷氨酸的发酵产量也增加了127.5%。此外,碱性氨基酸对其它4种棒状杆菌也具有一定的渗透保护效应。【结论】精氨酸对谷氨酸棒杆菌在高葡萄糖胁迫下具有良好的渗透保护作用,可能归因于其能促进葡萄糖的转运和代谢能力,同时发现碱性氨基酸的渗透保护效应对棒状杆菌属具有一定的普遍性。     

一株高产脯氨酸的嗜醋酸棒杆菌的选育及发酵条件优化

以嗜醋酸棒杆菌为出发菌株,经过片段化全基因组体外诱变、重组和连续的磺胺胍抗性筛选,获得一株L-脯氨酸的高产菌株。摇瓶发酵优化结果表明,葡萄糖、生物素和硫胺素的最适用量分别为16%、300μg/L、400μg/L,最适pH为6.8~7.0,装液量为25ml/500ml摇瓶,发酵培养72h后L-脯氨酸产率高达到75.6g/L,与对照相比提高了5%。考察了50L发酵罐中细胞生长对L-脯氨酸产量的影响,补料分批发酵结果表明(比生长速率分别为0.06/h、0.08/h和0.1/h),比生长速率在0.08/h左右时L-脯氨酸的产率最高,L-脯氨酸的比生产速率Q_P达到0.091 g/(g.h),产率高达82.1 g/L,比优化前提高了14%。     

嗜乙酰乙酸棒杆菌Corynebacterium acetoacidophilum-Δldh缺氧条件下代谢葡萄糖途径的变化

缺氧条件下嗜乙酰乙酸棒杆菌Corynebacterium acetoacidophilum ATCC13870生长停滞,却能够代谢葡萄糖产生以乳酸和琥珀酸为主的有机酸。采用以sacB基因为反向筛选标记的同源重组染色体基因敲除系统,敲除嗜乙酰乙酸棒杆菌的乳酸脱氢酶基因,得到的Δldh菌株CCTCC NO.M20122041在缺氧条件下不产乳酸,葡萄糖消耗速率降低了29.3%,产琥珀酸和乙酸浓度分别提高45.6%和182%;NADH/NAD+值小于1(约0.7);磷酸烯醇式丙酮酸羧化酶和乙酸激酶的比酶活分别提高84%和12倍。说明嗜乙酰乙酸棒杆菌中乳酸合成途径的阻断驱使了琥珀酸和乙酸代谢途径加强,推测加强NADH供给和阻断乙酸产生支路可能是提高C.acetoacidophilum菌株产琥珀酸产量的有效途径。     

代谢改造重组谷氨酸棒杆菌C4途径高效合成5-氨基乙酰丙酸

5-氨基乙酰丙酸 (5-aminolevulinic acid,5-ALA) 在医药和农业等领域有着广泛作用,目前主要采用大肠杆菌或谷氨酸棒杆菌以微生物发酵法合成。为了进一步提高谷氨酸棒杆菌合成5-ALA的能力,对其C4代谢途径进行了系统代谢改造。首先分别在谷氨酸棒杆菌中异源表达荚膜红杆菌和沼泽红假单胞菌的5-氨基乙酰丙酸合成酶ALAS,选择酶活相对较高的沼泽红假单胞菌的RphemA基因作为关键合成酶基因,并筛选到能显著增强RphemA的酶活性的核糖体结合位点RBS5。重组菌株ALAS的比酶活可达 (221.87±3.10) U/mg,且5-ALA产量提高了14.3%;随后通过敲除α-酮戊二酸脱氢酶抑制蛋白基因 (odhI) 和琥珀酸脱氢酶基因 (sdhA),促进了前体琥珀酰CoA向5-ALA途径的流动;通过sRNA抑制hemB表达减少了5-ALA的降解;并且过表达半胱氨酸/O-乙酰丝氨酸转运蛋白eamA提高了5-ALA的输出效率;使用重组菌株C. glutamicum 13032/?odhI/?sdhA-sRNAhemB-RBS5RphemA-eamA摇瓶发酵,5-ALA最高产量达11.90 g/L,较出发菌株提高了57%。最后,在5 L发酵罐中进行补料分批发酵,48 h内5-ALA的产量达25.05 g/L,为目前以葡萄糖为碳源发酵的最高产量。本研究构建了高产5-ALA重组谷氨酸棒杆菌,具有良好的工业应用前景。     

产L-苏氨酸重组大肠杆菌的构建和发酵性能

【背景】大肠杆菌由于生长性能优良、遗传背景清晰,常被用作苏氨酸生产菌。【目的】敲除大肠杆菌Escherichia coli THR苏氨酸合成途径的非必需基因,并异源表达苏氨酸合成必需的关键酶,构建一株苏氨酸高产菌株。【方法】利用FLP/FRT重组酶系统,敲除E. coli THR中lysC、pfkB和sstT,同时进行谷氨酸棒杆菌中lysC~(fbr)、thrE和丙酮丁醇梭菌中gapC的重组质粒构建并转化到宿主菌中。【结果】以E. coli THR为出发菌株,敲除其苏氨酸合成途径中表达天冬氨酸激酶Ⅲ (AKⅢ)的基因lysC、磷酸果糖激酶Ⅱ基因pfkB及苏氨酸吸收蛋白表达基因sstT,使菌株积累苏氨酸的产量达到75.64±0.35g/L,比出发菌株增加9.9%。随后异源表达谷氨酸棒杆菌中解除了反馈抑制的天冬氨酸激酶(lysC~(fbr))、苏氨酸分泌转运蛋白(thrE)及丙酮丁醇梭菌中由gapC编码的NADP+依赖型甘油醛-3-磷酸脱氢酶,获得重组菌株E. coli THR6菌株。该菌株积累苏氨酸的产量提高到105.3±0.5 g/L,糖酸转化率提高了43.20%,单位产酸能力提高到5.76 g/g DCW,最大生物量为18.26 g DCW/L。【结论】单独敲除某个基因或改造某个途径不能使苏氨酸大量合成和积累,对多个代谢途径共同改造是构建苏氨酸工程菌的最有效方法。     

阻断嗜乙酰乙酸棒杆菌乙酸合成途径对其在缺氧条件下产琥珀酸的影响

为探究和阻断嗜乙酰乙酸棒杆菌乙酸代谢途径,提高缺氧条件下琥珀酸的产率,减少副产物乙酸的合成,以C. acetoacidophilum ΔldhA为出发菌株,利用同源重组的方法分别敲除磷酸乙酰转移酶、乙酸激酶、CoA转移酶和丙酮酸脱氢酶复合体的相关基因pta,ackA,ctfA与aceE,研究突变菌产琥珀酸过程中相关参数的变化。结果表明：敲除pta与ackA基因后,对乙酸浓度,糖耗速率和糖酸转化率影响不大;pta,ackA与ctfA基因的同时失活使得乙酸的浓度和摩尔转化率分别降低81.4%和77.2%,葡萄糖消耗速率下降28.3%,琥珀酸对葡萄糖摩尔转化率提高25.3%;而单独敲除aceE基因后,乙酸几乎不产生,葡萄糖消耗速率下降35.6%,琥珀酸对葡萄糖摩尔转化率提高34.7%。因此,缺氧条件下,嗜乙酰乙酸棒杆菌的乙酸合成几乎全部走乙酰CoA途径,pta,ackA与ctfA是由乙酰CoA合成乙酸途径中最主要的基因;敲除基因aceE, 可以完全阻断乙酸生成,有效提高琥珀酸产率。     

六种藓类植物茎的比较解剖学研究

通过对6种藓类植物,即褶叶青藓(Brachythecium salebrosum(Web.et Mohr.)B.S.G.)、湿地匐灯藓(Plagiomnium acutum(Lindb.)Kop.)、侧枝匐灯藓(Plagiomnium maximoviczii(Lindb.)Kop.)、大凤尾藓(Fissidensnobilis Griff.)、大羽藓(Thuidium cymbifolium(Doz.et Molk.)B.S.G.)和大灰藓(Hypnum plumaeforme Wils.)嫩茎和老茎的石蜡切片和显微观察发现,同一藓类植株的嫩茎和老茎,茎结构稳定,不同种藓类植物茎横切面具有不同特征.植物体茎横切面形状、表层细胞的层数、细胞大小和细胞壁厚薄、皮层细胞大小和形状、中轴的有无以及比例等特征可以作为藓类植物的分科分类依据之一.     

Cause of Senescence of Nine Sorts of Flowers

The levels of endogenous phytohormones and respiratory rate in nine sorts of flowers such as Cymbidium faberi Rolfe, Nopalxochia ackermannii Kunth and others were investigated both at full bloom and senescence and meanwhile the effect of exogenous phytohormones on prolonging the blossoms and promoting ethylene production were tested. There is a high content of endogenous ethylene in all the long-lived flowere, about 3–16 folds higer than the short-lived ones. There is a high level of ABA at full blooming flowers of short-lived flowers, in which there is no or only some cytokinins in it, but the ratio of CTK (6BA+zeatin)/ABA is smaller(l.7). The endogenous ABA reached a much higher level at senescence in all nine sorts of flowers, so it is reasonable to consider that it is ABA which plays an important role of regulation in controlling flower's senescence. There is a much higher level of GA3 and zeatin in the long-lived flowers which is not demonstrated in the shortlived ones. The respiratory rate is one of the factors controtling the longevity of flowers, but it does not play a decided role. Application of 6BA and zeatin prolongs distinctly orchid’s longevity, however exogenous IAA through the promotive action on ethylene production, evidently extends the longevity of the flowers of the Nopalxochia ackermannii Kunth.

The effects of glutamine of the maintenance of embryogenic cultures of Cryptomeria japonica

Summary Embryogenic tissues of sugi (Cryptomeria japonica) were induced on a modified Campbell and Durzan (CD) medium containing 1 μM 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) and 600 mg l⁻¹ glutamine, and subcultured in the medium of the same composition for over 1 yr. This resulted in a mixed culture of embryogenic and non-embryogenic cells. When embryogenic cells were isolated and cultured independently, their capacity to form embryogenic aggregates was lost. Thus, the non-embryogenic cells present within a mixed culture system were essential to the formation of embryogenic aggregates. When embryogenic tissues were isolated and cultured independently on a high glutamine-containing (2400 mg l⁻¹) medium, dry weights and endogenous levels of glutamine increased, and the tissue could generate a large number of embryogenic aggregates. Amino acid analysis of embryogenic and non-embryogenic cells from the maintenance culture indicated a higher level of glutamine was present in the latter. The high endogenous level of glutamine in the non-embryogenic portion of mixed cell masses may be the supplier of glutamine for maintaining the embryogenic property of the tissues.     

Specificity of action of piperidylcholine derivatives as substrates of cholinesterases of various origin

The review deals with study of enzymologic properties of a novel highly specific acetylcholinesterase substrate, N-(β-acetoxyethyl) piperidinium iodomethylate (“piperidylcholine”), and its 30 derivatives that were tested as effectors of cholinesterases of mammals and various species of Pacific squids. It was proven for the first time that responsible for specificity of action was structure of cyclic ammonium grouping of the alcohol part of molecule of the ester substrate. Analysis of specificity is performed based on enzymatic hydrolysis parameters—activity of catalytic center of cholinesterases and bimolecular constant of the reaction rate that are determined at optimal and low substrate concentrations. Among the specially synthesized group of thioester compounds there is revealed one more highly specific acetylcholinesterase substrate—N-(β-acetoxyethyl) piperidinium.

The mechanism of hatching of eggs of Haemonchus contortus

Fluid collected from hatching eggs of Haemonchus contortus contained a lipase which hydrolysed 2-naphthyl laurate (about 0·7 μmol naphthol freed /h/10⁶ eggs). The fluid also hydrolysed l-leucinamide (about 2·3 μmol leucine freed/h/10⁶ eggs). The fluid when added to normal or heated eggs caused ‘hatching’. ‘Hatching’ also occurred in exsheathing fluid from infective juveniles and in a preparation of pancreatic lipase containing leucine aminopeptidase. A purified mammalian leucine aminopeptidase in combination with several different lipases did not attack egg shells.The ‘spontaneous’ hatching of eggs of H. contortus was strongly inhibited by 1,10-phenanthroline, 10^?3M, and this inhibition was reversed by Zn²⁺. However, the inhibition of ‘hatching’ of eggs in externally applied hatching fluid, or the hydrolysis of leucinamide in hatching fluid was generally less marked.     

Photoregulation of seed germination of wild-type and of an aurea-mutant of tomato

Seed germination of an aurea mutant of tomato ( Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) is promoted by continuous irradiation with red, far-red or long-wavelength far-red (758 nm) light as well as by cyclic irradiations (5 min red or 5 min far-red/25 min darkness). Far-red light applied immediately after each red does not change the germination behaviour. Seed germination of the isogenic wild-type, cv. UC-105, is promoted by continuous and cyclic red light while it is inhibited by continuous and cyclic far-red light and by continious 758 nm irradiation. Far-red irradiation reverses almost completely the promoting effect of red light. The promoting effect (in the aurea mutant) and the inhibitory effect (in the wild-type) of continuous far-red light do not show photon fluence rate dependency above 20 nmol m⁻² s⁻¹. It is concluded that phytochrome controls tomato seed germination throgh low energy responses in both the wild type and the au mutant. The promoting effect of continuous and cyclic far-red light in the au mutant can be attributed to a greater sensitivity to P_fr.
