The thermophilic methanogen Methanosaeta thermophila uses acetate as sole substrate for methanogenesis. It was proposed that the acetate activation reaction that is needed to feed acetate into the methanogenic pathway requires the hydrolysis of two ATP, whereas the acetate activation reaction in Methanosarcina sp. is known to require only one ATP. As these organisms live at the thermodynamic limit that sustains life, the acetate activation reaction in Mt. thermophila seems too costly and was thus reevaluated. It was found that of the putative acetate activation enzymes one gene encoding an AMP-forming acetyl-CoA synthetase was highly expressed. The corresponding enzyme was purified and characterized in detail. It catalyzed the ATP-dependent formation of acetyl- CoA, AMP, and pyrophosphate (PPi) and was only moderately inhibited by PPi. The breakdown of PPi was performed by a soluble pyrophosphatase. This enzyme was also purified and characterized. The pyrophosphatase hydrolyzed the major part of PPi (KM = 0.27 ± 0.05 mM) that was produced in the acetate activation reaction. Activity was not inhibited by nucleotides or PPi. However, it cannot be excluded that other PPi-dependent enzymes take advantage of the remaining PPi and contribute to the energy balance of the cell. 1. Introduction 7–70 μM is needed [7].

In the whole cell biocatalysis, recombinant CMP kinase catalyzed the conversion of CMP to CDP, and endogenous acetate kinase of the E. coli was utilized for the ATP regeneration as well as for the conversion of CDP to CTP. A conversion yield of ca. 88 % CTP was obtained when starting with 20 mM CMP, 1 mM ATP, and 80 mM acetyl phosphate based on the initial CMP concentration. Endogenous pyruvate kinase and poly- phosphate kinase were inefficient in the process. The CTP production system was applied to the production of CMP-NeuAc by additionally introducing the CMP-NeuAc synthetase gene into the recombinant E. coli.

  • Two-Dimensional Isobutyl Acetate Production Pathways to Improve Carbon Yield
    ARTICLE Received 23 Apr 2015 | Accepted 13 May 2015 | Published 25 Jun 2015 DOI: 10.1038/ncomms8488 OPEN Two-dimensional isobutyl acetate production pathways to improve carbon yield Yohei Tashiro1, Shuchi H. Desai1,2 & Shota Atsumi1,2 For an economically competitive biological process, achieving high carbon yield of a target chemical is crucial. In biochemical production, pyruvate and acetyl-CoA are primary building blocks. When sugar is used as the sole biosynthetic substrate, acetyl-CoA is commonly generated by pyruvate decarboxylation. However, pyruvate decarboxylation during acetyl-CoA formation limits the theoretical maximum carbon yield (TMCY) by releasing carbon, and in some cases also leads to redox imbalance. To avoid these problems, we describe here the construction of a metabolic pathway that simultaneously utilizes glucose and acetate. Acetate is utilized to produce acetyl-CoA without carbon loss or redox imbalance. We demonstrate the utility of this approach for isobutyl acetate (IBA) production, wherein IBA production with glucose and acetate achieves a higher carbon yield than with either sole carbon source. These results highlight the potential for this multiple carbon source approach to improve the TMCY and balance redox in biosynthetic pathways. 1 Department of Chemistry, University of California, Davis, One Shields Avenue, Davis, California 95616, USA. 2 Microbiology Graduate Group, University of California, Davis, One Shields Avenue, Davis, California 95616, USA.

  • Ruminal Microbiome-Host Crosstalk Stimulates the Development of the Ruminal Epithelium in a Lamb Model
    Lin et al. Microbiome (2019) 7:83 https://doi.org/10.1186/s40168-019-0701-y RESEARCH Open Access Ruminal microbiome-host crosstalk stimulates the development of the ruminal epithelium in a lamb model Limei Lin1,2†, Fei Xie1,2†, Daming Sun1,2, Junhua Liu1,2, Weiyun Zhu1,2 and Shengyong Mao1,2* Abstract Background: The development of the rumen is an important physiological challenge for young ruminants. Previous studies have shown that starter feeding can effectively facilitate the growth and development of the rumen in ruminants. However, the mechanism through which starter feeding stimulates the development of the rumen is not clear. Here, we performed an integrated analysis in ruminal microbiota and a host transcriptomic profile in a lamb model with the intervention of starter feed to understand the ruminal microbiome-host crosstalk in stimulating the development of the ruminal epithelium. Results: Decreased ruminal pH and increased acetate and butyrate concentrations in the rumen, followed by increasing rumen organ index, were observed in lambs supplemented with starter. Using metagenome sequencing in combination with 16S rRNA and 18S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing, the results showed the abundance of acetate-producing Mitsuokella spp., lactate-producing Sharpea spp., lactate-utilizing Megasphaera spp., and Entodinium spp. was enriched in rumen microbial communities in the starter-feed group. The abundances of genes involved in sugar degradation were decreased in starter-feed lambs, but the GH13 encoding α-amylase was obviously increased. Rumen epithelial transcriptome analysis revealed that seven differentially expressed genes, including MAPK1, PIK3CB, TNFSF10, ITGA6, SNAI2, SAV1,andDLG, related to the cell growth module were upregulated, and BAD’s promotion of cell death was downregulated.

  • Modulation of Acetate Utilization in Komagataella Phaffii by Metabolic
    Xu et al. Biotechnol Biofuels (2019) 12:61 https://doi.org/10.1186/s13068-019-1404-0 Biotechnology for Biofuels RESEARCH Open Access Modulation of acetate utilization in Komagataella phafi by metabolic engineering of tolerance and metabolism Qin Xu1, Chenxiao Bai1, Yiqi Liu1, Lili Song1, Lin Tian1, Yunfeng Yan1, Jinfeng Zhou1, Xiangshan Zhou1, Yuanxing Zhang1,2 and Menghao Cai1* Abstract Background: Acetate, an economical industrial chemical, which is also the precursor of acetyl-CoA, could serve as an alternative substrate for biomanufacturing. This nontraditional substrate can be widely produced from syngas via hydrolysis or pyrolysis of the cellulosic biomass, chemical or microbial catalysis, anaerobic fermentation in treated wastewater, etc. However, the toxicity of acetate to microorganisms has held back its utilization, especially for the eukaryotes that are good hosts for production of complicated pharmaceuticals or chemicals. This study seeks to improve acetate utilization in a widely used yeast host, Komagataella phafi (previously Pichia pastoris), by metabolic engineering of acetate tolerance, transport, and metabolism. Results: A kinase-defcient library of K. phafi was frstly used to screen acetate-resistant kinases. The HRK1 knockout strain was sensitive to acetate and overexpression of this gene improved acetate tolerance and cell growth of the strain. Also, overexpression of HRK1 caused a 55% productivity improvement of acetyl-CoA-dependent 6-methylsalicylic acid (6-MSA). However, activation of Hrk1 on membrane H( )-ATPase Pma1 seemed not to work in the engineered strain. Acetate transporter gene ScFPS1* was further overexpressed,+ despite of not improving 6-MSA biosynthesis. To enhance acetate metabolism, acetyl-CoA synthesizing related genes, yeast PpACS1, ScACS1*, and E.

  • How Viral and Intracellular Bacterial Pathogens Reprogram the Metabolism of Host Cells to Allow Their Intracellular Replication

In human infections, Fernando Navarro-Garcia, the cell types which both groups of pathogens are using as hosts are indeed quite similar Centro de Investigación y de Estudios and include phagocytic immune cells, especially monocytes/macrophages (MOs/MPs) Avanzados (CINVESTAV), Mexico Wen-Ching Wang, and dendritic cells (DCs), as well as nonprofessional phagocytes, like epithelial cells, National Tsing Hua University, Taiwan fibroblasts and endothelial cells. These terminally differentiated cells are normally in a *Correspondence: metabolically quiescent state when they are encountered by these pathogens during Wolfgang Eisenreich [email protected] infection. This metabolic state of the host cells does not meet the extensive need Werner Goebel for nutrients required for efficient intracellular replication of viruses and especially IBPs [email protected] which, in contrast to the viral pathogens, have to perform their own specific intracellular Specialty section: metabolism to survive and efficiently replicate in their host cell niches.
