Metabolic engineering for L-glutamine overproduction by using DNA gyrase mutations in Escherichia coli.

Abstract:

:An L-glutamine-overproducing mutant of an Escherichia coli K-12-derived strain was selected from randomly mutagenized cells in the course of L-alanyl-L-glutamine strain development. Genome-wide mutation analysis unveiled a novel mechanism for L-glutamine overproduction in this mutant. Three mutations were identified that are related to the L-glutamine overproduction phenotype, namely, an intergenic mutation in the 5'-flanking region of yeiG and two nonsynonymous mutations in gyrA (Gly821Ser and Asp830Asn). Expression of yeiG, which encodes a putative esterase, was enhanced by the intergenic mutation. The nonsynonymous mutations in gyrA, a gene that encodes the DNA gyrase α subunit, affected the DNA topology of the cells. Gyrase is a type II topoisomerase that adds negative supercoils to double-stranded DNA. When the opposing DNA-relaxing activity was enhanced by overexpressing topoisomerase I (topA) and topoisomerase IV (parC and parE), an increase in L-glutamine production was observed. These results indicate that a reduction of chromosomal DNA supercoils in the mutant caused an increase in L-glutamine accumulation. The mechanism underlying this finding is discussed in this paper. We also constructed an L-glutamine-hyperproducing strain by attenuating cellular L-glutamine degradation activity. Although the reconstituted mutant (with yeiG together with gyrA) produced 200 mM L-glutamine, metabolic engineering finally enabled construction of a mutant that accumulated more than 500 mM L-glutamine.
