Purification and separation of holo- and apo-forms of Saccharopolyspora erythraea acyl-carrier protein released from recombinant Escherichia coli by freezing and thawing.

ABSTRACT: Saccharopolyspora erythraea acyl-carrier protein, highly expressed from a T7-based expression plasmid in Escherichia coli, can be selectively released from the cells in near-quantitative yield by a single cycle of freezing and thawing in a neutral buffer. Electrospray mass spectrometry was used to confirm that the recombinant S. erythraea acyl-carrier protein over-expressed in E. coli is present predominantly as the holo-form, with variable amounts of apo-acyl-carrier protein, holo-acyl-carrier protein dimer and holo-acyl-carrier protein glutathione adduct. The holo- and apo-acyl-carrier proteins are both readily purified on a large scale from the freeze-thaw extracts and can be separated from one another by octyl-Sepharose chromatography. The holo-acyl-carrier protein obtained in this way was fully active in supporting the synthesis of acyl-acyl-carrier protein by extracts of S. erythraea.

Project description:Actinomycetes undergo a dramatic reorganization of metabolic and cellular machinery during a brief period of growth arrest ("metabolic switch") preceding mycelia differentiation and the onset of secondary metabolite biosynthesis. This study explores the role of phosphorylation in coordinating the metabolic switch in the industrial actinomycete Saccharopolyspora erythraea. A total of 109 phosphopeptides from 88 proteins were detected across a 150-h fermentation using open-profile two-dimensional LC-MS proteomics and TiO(2) enrichment. Quantitative analysis of the phosphopeptides and their unphosphorylated cognates was possible for 20 pairs that also displayed constant total protein expression. Enzymes from central carbon metabolism such as putative acetyl-coenzyme A carboxylase, isocitrate lyase, and 2-oxoglutarate dehydrogenase changed dramatically in the degree of phosphorylation during the stationary phase, suggesting metabolic rearrangement for the reutilization of substrates and the production of polyketide precursors. In addition, an enzyme involved in cellular response to environmental stress, trypsin-like serine protease (SACE_6340/NC_009142_6216), decreased in phosphorylation during the growth arrest stage. More important, enzymes related to the regulation of protein synthesis underwent rapid phosphorylation changes during this stage. Whereas the degree of phosphorylation of ribonuclease Rne/Rng (SACE_1406/NC_009142_1388) increased during the metabolic switch, that of two ribosomal proteins, S6 (SACE_7351/NC_009142_7233) and S32 (SACE_6101/NC_009142_5981), dramatically decreased during this stage of the fermentation, supporting the hypothesis that ribosome subpopulations differentially regulate translation before and after the metabolic switch. Overall, we show the great potential of phosphoproteomic studies to explain microbial physiology and specifically provide evidence of dynamic protein phosphorylation events across the developmental cycle of actinomycetes.
