Influences of the concentration and addition time of alanine-group amino acids, i.e. alanine, leucine and valine, on serine alkaline protease (SAP) synthesis were investigated by Bacillus licheniformis (DSM 1969) carrying pHV1431::subC in a defined medium to identify the amino acids creating intracellular reaction-rate limitation in SAP production. While the precursors of alanine-group amino acids, pyruvate and alanine, did not affect SAP production considerably within the range 0-15 mM, the addition of leucine decreased both SAP production and cell formation, because of the inhibition of valine synthesis. Although valine inhibits reactions starting with pyruvate towards 2-oxo-isovalerate, due to conversion of valine into 2-oxoisovalerate and from 2-oxo-isovalerate to leucine, valine did not inhibit leucine synthesis. Val (7.5 mM) supply at t = 0 h increased SAP activity to an activity of 1070 units - cm-' which was 1.3-fold higher than that of the reference production medium. The highest cell growth yield on substrate (Y-X/S) was obtained as 0.24 g . g(-1) with the supply of alanine; and the highest product formation yield on substrate was obtained as 0.134 units . g(-1) with the supply of valine. By using the results obtained, strategies for increasing SAP production and complex medium design were also discussed.

Overexpression of serine alkaline protease encoding gene in Bacillus species: performance analyses
Çalık, Pınar; Ozdamar, TH (Elsevier BV, 2003-12-02)
Bacillus species carrying subC gene encoding serine alkaline protease (SAP) enzyme were developed in order to increase the yield and selectivity in the bioprocess for SAP production. For this aim, subC gene was cloned into pHV1431 Escherichia coli-Bacillus shuttle vector, and transferred into nine host Bacillus species, i.e. B. alvei, B. amyloliquefaciens, B. badius, B. cereus, B. coagulans, B. firmus, B. licheniformis, B. sphaericus and B. subtilis. The influence of the host Bacillus species on SAP product...
The influence of carbon sources on recombinant-human-growth-hormone production by Pichia pastoris is dependent on phenotype: a comparison of Mut(s) and Mut(+) strains
Orman, Mehmet Ali; Çalık, Pınar; Ozdamar, Tuncer H. (Wiley, 2009-03-01)
The influence of carbon sources on rhGH (recombinant human growth hormone) production by two Pichia pastoris strains having different methanol utilization phenotypes (P. pastoris-hGH-Mut(+) and P. pastoris-hGH-Mut(s)) was investigated using batch bioreactors. The effect of methanol concentration (C-MeOH) in defined and complex media, and further glycerol/methanol mixed defined media, was analysed systematically over a wide range. With methanol as the sole carbon source, strain Mut(s) grew only slightly, whe...
Targeted disruption of homoserine dehydrogenase gene and its effect on cephamycin C production in Streptomyces clavuligerus
Yilmaz, Ebru I.; Caydasi, Ayse K.; Özcengiz, Gülay (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2008-01-01)
The aspartate pathway of Streptomyces clavuligerus is an important primary metabolic pathway which provides substrates for beta-lactam synthesis. In this study, the hom gene which encodes homoserine dehydrogenase was cloned from the cephamycin C producer S. clavuligerus NRRL 3585 and characterized. The fully sequenced open reading frame encodes 433 amino acids with a deduced M (r) of 44.9 kDa. The gene was heterologously expressed in the auxotroph mutant Escherichia coli CGSC 5075 and the recombinant protei...
Role of the cmcH-ccaR intergenic region and ccaR overexpression in cephamycin C biosynthesis in Streptomyces clavuligerus
Kurt, Aslihan; Alvarez-Alvarez, Ruben; Liras, Paloma; Özcengiz, Gülay (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2013-07-01)
The effect of the CcaR regulatory protein on expression of the cephamycin C gene cluster is studied. Quantitative reverse transcription PCR (qRT-PCR) expression analysis of the cephamycin biosynthesis genes in the ccaR-disrupted strain, S. clavuligerus ccaR::aph, revealed that in the absence of CcaR, the lat and cmcI genes expression was reduced 2,200-and 1,087-fold compared with the wild type. Expression of pcbAB-pcbC-cefD-cefE-cmcJ-cmcH and blp was 225- to 359-fold lower, while expression of pcbR-pbpA-bla...
Determination and metabolic engineering of rate limiting reactions in aromatic amino acid pathway in Bacillus subtilis for L-phenylaianine production
Guzide, Calik; Yasemin, Demirci; Pinar, Calik; Ozdamar, Tuncer H. (2007-09-01)
Rate limiting reactions in the aromatic-group amino acid pathway (AAAP) in Bacillus subtilis for l-phenylalanine (Phe) production were determined as reported elsewhere (Özçelik-Şenver et al., 2004). The biochemical reactions in the AAAP start with the reaction using phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) and erythrose 4-phosphate (E4P) synthesised in the glycolysis pathway and the PPP, respectively, leading to the formation of Phe via chorismate by branching at prephenate. The branch-point metabolites E4P supplied in vi...
