The usefulness of genetic/metabolic engineering for further improvement of industrial strains is subject of discussion because of the general lack of knowledge on genetic alterations introduced by iterative cycles of random mutagenesis in such strains. An industrial clavulanic acid (CA)-overproducer Streptomyces clavuligerus DEPA was assessed to understand proteome-wide changes that have occurred in a local industrial CA overproducer developed through succesive mutagenesis programs. The proteins that could be identified corresponded to 33 distinct ORFs for underrepresented ones and 60 ORFs for over-represented ones. Three CA biosynthetic enzymes were overrepresented in S. clavuligerus DEPA; carboxyethylarginine synthase (Ceas2), clavaldehyde dehydrogenase (Car) and carboxyethyl-arginine betalactam- synthase (Bls2) whereas the enzymes of two other secondary metabolites were underrepresented along with two important global regulators [two-component system (TCS) response regulator (SCLAV_2102) and TetR-family transcriptional regulator (SCLAV_3146)] that might be related with CA production and/or differentiation. gamma-butyrolactone biosynthetic protein AvaA2 was 2.6 fold underrepresented in S. clavuligerus DEPA. The levels of two glycolytic enzymes, 2,3-bisphosphoglycerate-dependent phosphoglycerate mutase and phosophoglycerate kinase were found decreased while those of dihydrolipoyl dehydrogenase (E3) and isocitrate dehydrogenase, with two isoforms were found as significantly increased. A decrease of amino acid metabolism, methionine biosynthesis in particular, as well as S-adenosylmethionine synthetase appeared as one of the prominent mechanisms of success of S. clavuligerus DEPA strain as a prolific producer of CA. The levels of two enzymes of shikimate pathway that leads to the production of aromatic amino acids and aromatic secondary metabolites were also underrepresented. Some of the overrepresented stress proteins in S. clavuligerus DEPA included polynucleotide phosphorylase/polyadenylase (PNPase), ATP-dependent DNA helicase, two isoforms of an anti-sigma factor and thioredoxin reductase. Downregulation of important proteins of cell wall synthesis and division was recorded and a protein with beta-lactamase domain (SCLAV_p1007) appeared in 12 isoforms, 5 of which were drastically overrepresented in DEPA strain. These results described herein provide useful information for rational engineering to improve CA production in Streptomyces clavuligerus. (c) 2016 The Authors.

Proteomic analysis of two cephamycin c overproducer and an industrial clavulanic acid overproducer strains of streptomyces clavuligerus in comparison with the standard strain NRRL 3585
Ünsaldı, Eser; Özcengiz, Gülay; Department of Biology (2016)
In this study, two cephamycin C (CC) overproducers, Streptomyces clavuligerus AK39 and TB3585 strains, and a clavulanic acid (CA) overproducer S. clavuligerus DEPA were subjected to proteomic analysis to elucidate their differential protein expression profiles when compared to that of the standard strain S. clavuligerus NRRL 3585. Two proteomics approaches were employed: 2DE technique coupled with MALDI-TOF/MS and LC-MS/MS. By using two techniques, a total of 40 proteins were identified as upregulated while...
Biochemical characterization of recombinant 20s proteasome from thermoplasma volcanium and cloning of it's regulatory subunit gene
Baydar, Gözde; Kocabıyık, Semra; Department of Biotechnology (2006)
In this study, we have characterized some biochemical and electrophoretic features of recombinant 20S Proteasome from a thermoacidophilic archaeon Thermoplasma volcanium. As revealed by SDS-PAGE the 20S Proteasome was composed of two subunits, ?- and β- subunits with estimated molecular masses of 24 kDa and 23 kDa, respectively. The highest chymotryptic activity was observed over an alkaline pH range (pH 8.0 ا pH 9.0) and the optimum temperature for the activity was determined as 85oC. The heat stability of...
Cloning, characterization and heterologous expression of the aspartokinase and aspartate semialdehyde dehydrogenase genes from the cephamycin C producer streptomyces clavuligerus
Tunca, Sedef; Özcengiz, Gülay; Piret, Jacqueline; Department of Biotechnology (2002)
The carbon flow through the lysine branch of aspartate pathway is a rate limiting step in the formation of cephamycin C, a broad spectrum P-lactam antibiotic produced by Streptomyces clavuligerus. In this study, the ask m(aspartokinase) and asd (aspartate semialdehyde dehydrogenase) genes which encode the enzymes catalyzing the first two steps of aspartate pathway were cloned and characterized as the first time from S. clavuligerus NRRL 3585. This was accomplished by constructing four mini-libraries of S. c...
Genetic engineering of an industrial strain of Streptomyces clavuligerus for further enhancement of clavulanic acid production
KURT KIZILDOĞAN, ASLIHAN; Vanli Jaccard, Guliz; Mutlu, Alper; Sertdemir, Ibrahim; Özcengiz, Gülay (2017-01-01)
An industrial clavulanic acid (CA) overproducer Streptomyces clavuligerus strain, namely DEPA, was engineered to further enhance its CA production. Single or multiple copies of ccaR, claR (pathway-specific activators), and cas2 (CA synthase) genes under the control of different promoters were introduced into this strain. CA titers of the resulting recombinants were analyzed by HPLC in a dynamic fashion and compared to the vector-only controls and a wild-type strain of S. clavuligerus while their growth was ...
Multicomponent ion exchange on synthetic zeolites
Beşel Düzgün, Elif; Yücel, Hayrettin; Department of Chemical Engineering (2014)
Zeolites are natural and synthetic microporous crystalline aluminosilicates with ion-exchange and molecular sieve properties. Zeolites consist of a three-dimensional framework of (SiO4)4- and (AlO4)5- tetrahedras, connected by a shared oxygen atom. The presence of aluminum in the aluminosilicate framework introduces a net negative charge. Zeolites are mostly used in ion exchange, adsorption processes and catalytic applications. The objective of the study was to determine and model the multicomponent ion exc...
