Evidence for inducer function of 2-keto-3-deoxy-L-galactonate in D-galacturonic acid induced gene expression in Aspergillus niger
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: In Aspergillus niger, the enzymes encoded by gaaA, gaaB, gaaC and gaaD catabolize D-galacturonic acid (GA) consecutively into L-galactonate, 2-keto-3-deoxy-L-galactonate, pyruvate and L-glyceraldehyde, and glycerol. We show here that deletion of gaaB or gaaC results in severely impaired growth on GA and accumulation of pathway intermediates L-galactonate and 2-keto-3-deoxy-L-galactonate, respectively. Expression levels of several GA-induced genes were specifically elevated in the ∆gaaC mutant on GA as compared to the reference strain or other GA catabolic pathway deletion mutants. The hyper-induction of GA-induced genes in ∆gaaC indicates that 2-keto-3-deoxy-L-galactonate is the inducer of genes required for GA utilization.
