Comparative metabolomics analysis of amphotericin B high-yield mechanism for metabolic engineering

ABSTRACT:

Background

The polyene macrocyclic compound amphotericin B (AmB) is an important antifungal antibiotic for the clinical treatment of invasive fungal infections. To rationally guide the improvement of AmB production in the main producing strain Streptomyces nodosus, comparative metabolomics analysis was performed to investigate the intracellular metabolic changes in wild-type S. nodosus ZJB20140315 with low-yield AmB production and mutant S. nodosus ZJB2016050 with high-yield AmB production, the latter of which reached industrial criteria on a pilot scale.

Results

To investigate the relationship of intracellular metabolites, 7758 metabolites were identified in mutant S. nodosus and wildtype S. nodosus via LC–MS. Through analysis of metabolism, the level of 26 key metabolites that involved in carbon metabolism, fatty acids metabolism, amino acids metabolism, purine metabolism, folate biosynthesis and one carbon pool by folate were much higher in mutant S. nodosus. The enrichment of relevant metabolic pathways by gene overexpression strategy confirmed that one carbon pool by folate was the key metabolic pathway. Meanwhile, a recombinant strain with gene metH (methionine synthase) overexpressed showed 5.03 g/L AmB production within 120 h fermentation, which is 26.4% higher than that of the mutant strain.

Conclusions

These results demonstrated that comparative metabolomics analysis was an effective approach for the improvement of AmB production and could be applied for other industrially or clinically important compounds as well.

Comparative Transcriptome Analysis of <i>Streptomyces nodosus</i> Mutant With a High-Yield Amphotericin B.

Project description:Antibiotics play an important role in human health. Most antibiotics are derived from microbial secondary metabolites. Amphotericin is a polyene macrolide antibiotic synthesized by Streptomyces nodosus. S. nodosus ZJB2016050 with high-yield amphotericin B (AmB) was obtained by traditional mutagenesis using S. nodosus ATCC14899 as the original strain. The differences in the characterization of the two strains were found in color, mycelium morphology, and AmB yield. Subsequent comparative transcriptome explained the yield differences between the two strains. Pathways including the carbohydrate metabolic pathway and the secondary product synthesis pathway were targeted. The upregulation of glucokinase, phosphoglycerate mutase, and pyruvate dehydrogenase accelerates the consumption of glucose and has great effects on the accumulation of precursors. One of the competitive secondary metabolites of the polyketone synthetase (PKS) II type sapromomycin analog synthesis gene cluster was downregulated, which competes for malonyl-CoA. Five PKS modules (except for the first module amphA) of the amphotericin synthetic gene cluster in the high-yielding strain were downregulated, which resulted in the total amphotericin A (AmA) and AmB of S. nodosus ZJB2016050 being less than that of the wild-type S. nodosus ATCC14899. Combined with gene differential expression in the pentose phosphate pathway and the reaction mechanism of the ER5 domain, the reason that S. nodosus ZJB2016050 preferred to synthesize AmB was probably related to intracellular reduction.

Metabolic engineering of a thermophilic bacterium to produce ethanol at high yield.

Project description:We report engineering Thermoanaerobacterium saccharolyticum, a thermophilic anaerobic bacterium that ferments xylan and biomass-derived sugars, to produce ethanol at high yield. Knockout of genes involved in organic acid formation (acetate kinase, phosphate acetyltransferase, and L-lactate dehydrogenase) resulted in a strain able to produce ethanol as the only detectable organic product and substantial changes in electron flow relative to the wild type. Ethanol formation in the engineered strain (ALK2) utilizes pyruvate:ferredoxin oxidoreductase with electrons transferred from ferredoxin to NAD(P), a pathway different from that in previously described microbes with a homoethanol fermentation. The homoethanologenic phenotype was stable for >150 generations in continuous culture. The growth rate of strain ALK2 was similar to the wild-type strain, with a reduction in cell yield proportional to the decreased ATP availability resulting from acetate kinase inactivation. Glucose and xylose are co-utilized and utilization of mannose and arabinose commences before glucose and xylose are exhausted. Using strain ALK2 in simultaneous hydrolysis and fermentation experiments at 50 degrees C allows a 2.5-fold reduction in cellulase loading compared with using Saccharomyces cerevisiae at 37 degrees C. The maximum ethanol titer produced by strain ALK2, 37 g/liter, is the highest reported thus far for a thermophilic anaerobe, although further improvements are desired and likely possible. Our results extend the frontier of metabolic engineering in thermophilic hosts, have the potential to significantly lower the cost of cellulosic ethanol production, and support the feasibility of further cost reductions through engineering a diversity of host organisms.

Metabolic engineering for the high-yield production of isoprenoid-based C? alcohols in E. coli.

Project description:Branched five carbon (C5) alcohols are attractive targets for microbial production due to their desirable fuel properties and importance as platform chemicals. In this study, we engineered a heterologous isoprenoid pathway in E. coli for the high-yield production of 3-methyl-3-buten-1-ol, 3-methyl-2-buten-1-ol, and 3-methyl-1-butanol, three C5 alcohols that serve as potential biofuels. We first constructed a pathway for 3-methyl-3-buten-1-ol, where metabolite profiling identified NudB, a promiscuous phosphatase, as a likely pathway bottleneck. We achieved a 60% increase in the yield of 3-methyl-3-buten-1-ol by engineering the Shine-Dalgarno sequence of nudB, which increased protein levels by 9-fold and reduced isopentenyl diphosphate (IPP) accumulation by 4-fold. To further optimize the pathway, we adjusted mevalonate kinase (MK) expression and investigated MK enzymes from alternative microbes such as Methanosarcina mazei. Next, we expressed a fusion protein of IPP isomerase and the phosphatase (Idi1~NudB) along with a reductase (NemA) to diversify production to 3-methyl-2-buten-1-ol and 3-methyl-1-butanol. Finally, we used an oleyl alcohol overlay to improve alcohol recovery, achieving final titers of 2.23?g/L of 3-methyl-3-buten-1-ol (~70% of pathway-dependent theoretical yield), 150?mg/L of 3-methyl-2-buten-1-ol, and 300?mg/L of 3-methyl-1-butanol.

Improving peppermint essential oil yield and composition by metabolic engineering.

Project description:Peppermint (Mentha × piperita L.) was transformed with various gene constructs to evaluate the utility of metabolic engineering for improving essential oil yield and composition. Oil yield increases were achieved by overexpressing genes involved in the supply of precursors through the 2C-methyl-D-erythritol 4-phosphate (MEP) pathway. Two-gene combinations to enhance both oil yield and composition in a single transgenic line were assessed as well. The most promising results were obtained by transforming plants expressing an antisense version of (+)-menthofuran synthase, which is critical for adjusting the levels of specific undesirable oil constituents, with a construct for the overexpression of the MEP pathway gene 1-deoxy-D-xylulose 5-phosphate reductoisomerase (up to 61% oil yield increase over wild-type controls with low levels of the undesirable side-product (+)-menthofuran and its intermediate (+)-pulegone). Elite transgenic lines were advanced to multiyear field trials, which demonstrated consistent oil yield increases of up to 78% over wild-type controls and desirable effects on oil composition under commercial growth conditions. The transgenic expression of a gene encoding (+)-limonene synthase was used to accumulate elevated levels of (+)-limonene, which allows oil derived from transgenic plants to be recognized during the processing of commercial formulations containing peppermint oil. Our study illustrates the utility of metabolic engineering for the sustainable agricultural production of high quality essential oils at a competitive cost.

High-yield hydrogen production from biomass by in vitro metabolic engineering: Mixed sugars coutilization and kinetic modeling.

Project description:The use of hydrogen (H2) as a fuel offers enhanced energy conversion efficiency and tremendous potential to decrease greenhouse gas emissions, but producing it in a distributed, carbon-neutral, low-cost manner requires new technologies. Herein we demonstrate the complete conversion of glucose and xylose from plant biomass to H2 and CO2 based on an in vitro synthetic enzymatic pathway. Glucose and xylose were simultaneously converted to H2 with a yield of two H2 per carbon, the maximum possible yield. Parameters of a nonlinear kinetic model were fitted with experimental data using a genetic algorithm, and a global sensitivity analysis was used to identify the enzymes that have the greatest impact on reaction rate and yield. After optimizing enzyme loadings using this model, volumetric H2 productivity was increased 3-fold to 32 mmol H2?L(-1)?h(-1). The productivity was further enhanced to 54 mmol H2?L(-1)?h(-1) by increasing reaction temperature, substrate, and enzyme concentrations--an increase of 67-fold compared with the initial studies using this method. The production of hydrogen from locally produced biomass is a promising means to achieve global green energy production.

High-Throughput Metabolomics for Identification of Metabolic Pathways and Deciphering the Effect Mechanism of Dioscin on Rectal Cancer From Cell Metabolic Profiles Coupled With Chemometrics Analysis.

Project description:High-throughput liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS)-based metabolomics can provide the holistic analysis of the low molecular weight endogenous metabolites in cells and reflect the changes of cellular regulation and metabolic pathways. Our study designed to reveal the potentially pharmacological effects of dioscin on SW480 rectal cancer cells using nontargeted metabolomics method to probe into small molecular metabolites and pathway changes. After the cell assay of proliferation, apoptosis, migration, and invasion, the dioscin-treated cell samples were prepared for nontargeted metabolomics analysis based on LC-MS tool to describe the metabolic profiles. Dioscin has prevented cell proliferation and accelerated cell apoptosis, and it also inhibited the SW480 rectal cancer cells' migration and invasion. A total of 22 metabolites were selected as promising biomarkers of pharmacological reaction of dioscin to rectal cancer, and eight highly correlated pathways including D-glutamine and D-glutamate metabolism, pyruvate metabolism, arachidonic acid metabolism, phenylalanine metabolism, tryptophan metabolism, glycolysis or gluconeogenesis, citrate cycle (TCA cycle), and butanoate metabolism were identified. It showed that strategies based on cell metabolomics are helpful tools to discover the small molecular metabolites to elucidate the action mechanism of drug.

comparative transcriptome analysis between original strain FS35 and FK520 high-yield strain OphaCfkbU

Project description:To solve the problem of low FK520 production by Streptomyces hygroscopicus var. ascomyceticus FS35, PHB synthesis gene phaC and PHB decomposition gene fkbU were co-overexpressed in parent strain FS35 to construct recombinant strain OphaCfkbU. Surprisingly, recombinant strain OphaCfkbU accumulated more biomass than parent strain FS35 in whole fermentation. Therefore, to explore the effect of co-overexpression on the strain growth, comparative transcriptome analysis were carried out between parent strain FS35 and recombinant strain OphaCfkbU. Transcriptome data showed that co-overexpression increased the utilization of sugar sources and stimulated the generation of coenzymes, ribosome, acyl carrier proteins and sulfate donors. This study revealed the internal mechanism of the effect of PHB on strain growth, proving a reference for the role of PHB in other microorganisms.

Comparative genomics and transcriptome analysis of Aspergillus niger and metabolic engineering for citrate production.

Project description:Despite a long and successful history of citrate production in Aspergillus niger, the molecular mechanism of citrate accumulation is only partially understood. In this study, we used comparative genomics and transcriptome analysis of citrate-producing strains-namely, A. niger H915-1 (citrate titer: 157 g L-1), A1 (117 g L-1), and L2 (76 g L-1)-to gain a genome-wide view of the mechanism of citrate accumulation. Compared with A. niger A1 and L2, A. niger H915-1 contained 92 mutated genes, including a succinate-semialdehyde dehydrogenase in the γ-aminobutyric acid shunt pathway and an aconitase family protein involved in citrate synthesis. Furthermore, transcriptome analysis of A. niger H915-1 revealed that the transcription levels of 479 genes changed between the cell growth stage (6 h) and the citrate synthesis stage (12 h, 24 h, 36 h, and 48 h). In the glycolysis pathway, triosephosphate isomerase was up-regulated, whereas pyruvate kinase was down-regulated. Two cytosol ATP-citrate lyases, which take part in the cycle of citrate synthesis, were up-regulated, and may coordinate with the alternative oxidases in the alternative respiratory pathway for energy balance. Finally, deletion of the oxaloacetate acetylhydrolase gene in H915-1 eliminated oxalate formation but neither influence on pH decrease nor difference in citrate production were observed.

High-throughput metabolomics enables metabolite biomarkers and metabolic mechanism discovery of fish in response to alkalinity stress.

Project description:High throughput mass spectrometry (MS)-based metabolomics is a popular platform for small molecule metabolites analyses that are widely used for detecting biomarkers in the research field of environmental assessment. Crucian carp (Carassius carassius, CC) is an economically and ecologically important fish in Asia. It can adapt to extremely high alkalinity, providing us with valuable material to understand the adaptation mechanism for extreme environmental stress. However, the information on the metabolite biomarkers and metabolic mechanisms of CC exposed to alkaline stress is not entirely clear. We applied high-throughput UPLC-Q-TOF/MS combined with chemometrics to identify changes in the metabolome of CC exposed to different concentrations of alkalinity for long term effects. Metabolic differences among alkalinity-treated groups were identified by multivariate statistical analysis. Further, 7 differential metabolites were found after exposure to alkaline conditions. In total, 23 metabolic pathways of these differential metabolites were significantly affected. Alkalinity exposure resulted in widespread change in metabolic profiles in the plasma with disruptions in the phenylalanine metabolism, glycine, serine and threonine metabolism, pyruvate metabolism, tyrosine metabolism, etc. The integrated pathway analysis of the associated metabolites showed that tRNA charging, l-cysteine degradation II, superpathway of methionine degradation, l-serine degradation, tyrosine biosynthesis IV, etc. appear to be the most significantly represented functional categories. Overall, this study demonstrated that metabolic changes in CC played a role in adaptation to the highly alkaline environmental stress.
