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...
Overexpression of a serine alkaline protease gene in Bacillus licheniformis and its impact on the metabolic reaction network
Çalık, Pınar; Oliver, SG; Ozdamar, TH (Elsevier BV, 2003-05-20)
This work reports on cloning of serine alkaline protease (SAP) encoding gene subC to a multi-copy plasmid and its expression in Bacillus licheniformis with the quantitative impact of overexpression of the subC gene on metabolic flux distributions. Bioprocess characteristics of the wild-type and the recombinant B. licheniformis were investigated in a defined simple synthetic medium with glucose as the sole carbon source under well-defined bioreactor-operation conditions. Significant physiological changes wer...
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...
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...
Analysis of acyl CoA ester intermediates of the mevalonate pathway in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
Şeker, Tamay; Nielsen, J (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2005-04-01)
The mevalonate pathway plays an important role in providing the cell with a number of essential precursors for the synthesis of biomass constituents. With respect to their chemical structure, the metabolites of this pathway can be divided into two groups: acyl esters [acetoacetyl CoA, acetyl CoA, hydroxymethylglutaryl (HMG) CoA] and phosphorylated metabolites (isopentenyl pyrophosphate, dimethylallyl pyrophosphate, geranyl pyrophosphate, farnesyl pyrophosphate). In this study, we developed a method for the ...
