Abstract
In recent years, the design-build-test-learn (DBTL) cycle has become a key concept in strain engineering. Modern biofoundries enable automated DBTL cycling using robotic devices. However, both highly automated facilities and semi-automated facilities encounter bottlenecks in clone selection and screening. While fully automated biofoundries can take advantage of expensive commercially available colony pickers, semi-automated facilities have to fall back on affordable alternatives. Therefore, our clone selection method is particularly well-suited for academic settings, requiring only the basic infrastructure of a biofoundry. The automated liquid clone selection (ALCS) method represents a straightforward approach for clone selection. Similar to sophisticated colony-picking robots, the ALCS approach aims to achieve high selectivity. Investigating the time analogue of five generations, the model-based set-up reached a selectivity of 98 ± 0.2% for correctly transformed cells. Moreover, the method is robust to variations in cell numbers at the start of ALCS. Beside Escherichia coli, promising chassis organisms, such as Pseudomonas putida and Corynebacterium glutamicum, were successfully applied. In all cases, ALCS enables the immediate use of the selected strains in follow-up applications. In essence, our ALCS approach provides a 'low-tech' method to be implemented in biofoundry settings without requiring additional devices.

A dimer between monomers and hexamers-Oligomeric variations in glucosamine-6-phosphate deaminase family. PLoS One 2023; 18:e0271654. [PMID: 36598911 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0271654] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/04/2022] [Accepted: 12/06/2022] [Indexed: 01/05/2023] Open
Abstract
In bacteria that live in hosts whose terminal sugar is a sialic acid, Glucosamine-6-phosphate deaminase (NagB) catalyzes the last step in converting sialic acid into Fructose-6-phosphate. These bacteria then use the Fructose-6-phosphate as an energy source. The enzyme NagB exists as a hexamer in Gram-negative bacteria and is allosterically regulated. In Gram-positive bacteria, it exists as a monomer and lacks allosteric regulation. Our identification of a dimeric Gram-negative bacterial NagB motivated us to characterize the structural basis of two closely related oligomeric forms. We report here the crystal structures of NagB from two Gram-negative pathogens, Haemophilus influenzae (Hi) and Pasturella multocida (Pm). The Hi-NagB is active as a hexamer, while Pm-NagB is active as a dimer. Both Hi-NagB and Pm-NagB contain the C-terminal helix implicated as essential for hexamer formation. The hexamer is described as a dimer of trimers. In the Pm-NagB dimer, the dimeric interface is conserved. The conservation of the dimer interface suggests that the three possible oligomeric forms of NagB are a monomer, a dimer, and a trimer of dimers. Computational modeling and MD simulations indicate that the residues at the trimeric interface have less stabilizing energy of oligomer formation than those in the dimer interface. We propose that Pm-NagB is the evolutionary link between the monomer and the hexamer forms.

Abstract
Several pathogenic bacteria import and catabolize sialic acids as a source of carbon and nitrogen. Within the sialic acid catabolic pathway, the enzyme N-acetylmannosamine kinase (NanK) catalyzes the phosphorylation of N-acetylmannosamine to N-acetylmannosamine-6-phosphate. This kinase belongs to the ROK superfamily of enzymes, which generally contain a conserved zinc-finger (ZnF) motif that is important for their structure and function. Previous structural studies have shown that the ZnF motif is absent in NanK of Fusobacterium nucleatum (Fn-NanK), a Gram-negative bacterium that causes the gum disease gingivitis. However, the effect in loss of the ZnF motif on the kinase activity is unknown. Using kinetic and thermodynamic studies, we have studied the functional properties of Fn-NanK to its substrates ManNAc and ATP, compared its activity with other ZnF motif-containing NanK enzymes from closely related Gram-negative pathogenic bacteria Haemophilus influenzae (Hi-NanK), Pasteurella multocida (Pm-NanK), and Vibrio cholerae (Vc-NanK). Our studies show a 10-fold decrease in substrate binding affinity between Fn-NanK (apparent KM ≈ 700 μM) and ZnF motif-containing NanKs (apparent KM ≈ 60 μM). To understand the structural features that combat the loss of the ZnF motif in Fn-NanK, we solved the crystal structures of functionally homologous ZnF motif-containing NanKs from P. multocida and H. influenzae. Here, we report Pm-NanK:unliganded, Pm-NanK:AMPPNP, Pm-NanK:ManNAc, Hi-NanK:ManNAc, and Hi-NanK:ManNAc-6P:ADP crystal structures. Structural comparisons of Fn-NanK with Hi-NanK, Pm-NanK, and hMNK (human N-acetylmannosamine kinase domain of UDP-N-acetylglucosamine-2-epimerase/N-acetylmannosamine kinase, GNE) show that even though there is less sequence identity, they have high degree of structural similarity. Furthermore, our structural analyses highlight that the ZnF motif of Fn-NanK is substituted by a set of hydrophobic residues, which forms a hydrophobic cluster that helps the proper orientation of ManNac in the active site. In summary, ZnF-containing and ZnF-lacking NanK enzymes from different Gram-negative pathogenic bacteria are functionally very similar but differ in their metal requirement. Our structural studies unveil the structural modifications in Fn-NanK that compensate the loss of the ZnF motif in comparison to other NanK enzymes.

Abstract
N-acetylglucosamine 6-phosphate deacetylase (NagA) catalyzes the conversion of N-acetylglucosamine-6-phosphate to glucosamine-6-phosphate in amino sugar catabolism. This conversion is an essential step in the catabolism of sialic acid in several pathogenic bacteria, including Pasteurella multocida, and thus NagA is identified as a potential drug target. Here, we report the unique structural features of NagA from P. multocida (PmNagA) resolved to 1.95 Å. PmNagA displays an altered quaternary architecture with unique interface interactions compared to its close homolog, the Escherichia coli NagA (EcNagA). We confirmed that the altered quaternary structure is not a crystallographic artifact using single particle electron cryo-microscopy. Analysis of the determined crystal structure reveals a set of hot-spot residues involved in novel interactions at the dimer-dimer interface. PmNagA binds to one Zn2+ ion in the active site and demonstrates kinetic parameters comparable to other bacterial homologs. Kinetic studies reveal that at high substrate concentrations (~10-fold the KM ), the tetrameric PmNagA displays hysteresis similar to its distant neighbor, the dimeric Staphylococcus aureus NagA (SaNagA). Our findings provide key information on structural and functional properties of NagA in P. multocida that could be utilized to design novel antibacterials.

Abstract
Several pathogenic bacteria utilize sialic acid, including host-derived N-acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5Ac), in at least two ways: they use it as a nutrient source and as a host-evasion strategy by coating themselves with Neu5Ac. Given the significant role of sialic acid in pathogenesis and host-gut colonization by various pathogenic bacteria, including Neisseria meningitidis, Haemophilus influenzae, Pasteurella multocida and Vibrio cholerae, several enzymes of the sialic acid catabolic, biosynthetic and incorporation pathways are considered to be potential drug targets. In this work, findings on the structural and functional characterization of CMP-N-acetylneuraminate synthetase (CMAS), a key enzyme in the incorporation pathway, from Vibrio cholerae are reported. CMAS catalyzes the synthesis of CMP-sialic acid by utilizing CTP and sialic acid. Crystal structures of the apo and the CDP-bound forms of the enzyme were determined, which allowed the identification of the metal cofactor Mg2+ in the active site interacting with CDP and the invariant Asp215 residue. While open and closed structural forms of the enzyme from eukaryotic and other bacterial species have already been characterized, a partially closed structure of V. cholerae CMAS (VcCMAS) observed upon CDP binding, representing an intermediate state, is reported here. The kinetic data suggest that VcCMAS is capable of activating the two most common sialic acid derivatives, Neu5Ac and Neu5Gc. Amino-acid sequence and structural comparison of the active site of VcCMAS with those of eukaryotic and other bacterial counterparts reveal a diverse hydrophobic pocket that interacts with the C5 substituents of sialic acid. Analyses of the thermodynamic signatures obtained from the binding of the nucleotide (CTP) and the product (CMP-sialic acid) to VcCMAS provide fundamental information on the energetics of the binding process.

Abstract
Recombinant proteins have an increasing demand due to their application spanning across different fields. Hence, investigating strategies to increase the yield of recombinant proteins are highly significant. To achieve high yield, optimization of various parameters such as temperature, pH, aeration, inducer concentration, etc. are necessary. However, these parameters maximize the product yield of only the single open reading frame (ORF). A conventional single ORF would produce limited transcripts. Our strategy describes the generation of a tandem repeat of ORF and vector backbone, termed as megafragment (MF), followed by circularization and retaining of megaplasmid (MP) in E. coli, thereby, maximizing the protein production. We demonstrate the generation of megafragment through concatemer chain reaction and devised a method to purify megafragment from other shorter fragments. Linker was added to either end of the ORF to mediate homologous recombination and then transformed into E. coli cells to circularize the megafragment to form megaplasmid (ligase-free cloning technology). Megaplasmid can be a promising tool for higher protein expression as compared to single ORF containing plasmids. Also, E. coli BLR (DE3) and recA null strains were used here for demonstrating megaplasmid expression in the cell. The novelty of this work is the maintenance of the megaplasmid during the expression, which enables the expression of proteins at a high level.

Abstract
N-Acetyl-D-neuraminic acid lyase (NanA) catalyzes the breakdown of sialic acid (Neu5Ac) to N-acetyl-D-mannosamine (ManNAc) and pyruvate. NanA plays a key role in Neu5Ac catabolism in many pathogenic and bacterial commensals where sialic acid is available as a carbon and nitrogen source. Several pathogens or commensals decorate their surfaces with sialic acids as a strategy to escape host innate immunity. Catabolism of sialic acid is key to a range of host-pathogen interactions. In this study, atomic resolution structures of NanA from Fusobacterium nucleatum (FnNanA) in ligand-free and ligand-bound forms are reported at 2.32 and 1.76 Å resolution, respectively. F. nucleatum is a Gram-negative pathogen that causes gingival and periodontal diseases in human hosts. Like other bacterial N-acetylneuraminate lyases, FnNanA also shares the triosephosphate isomerase (TIM)-barrel fold. As observed in other homologous enzymes, FnNanA forms a tetramer. In order to characterize the structure-function relationship, the steady-state kinetic parameters of the enzyme are also reported.

Abstract
Sialic acids are nine-carbon sugars that are found abundantly on the cell surfaces of mammals as glycoprotein or glycolipid complexes. Several Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria have the ability to scavenge and catabolize sialic acids to use as a carbon source. This gives them an advantage in colonizing sialic acid-rich environments. The genes of the sialic acid catabolic pathway are generally present as the operon nanAKE. The third gene in the operon encodes the enzyme N-acetylmannosamine-6-phosphate 2-epimerase (NanE), which catalyzes the conversion of N-acetylmannosamine 6-phosphate to N-acetylglucosamine 6-phosphate, thus committing it to enter glycolysis. The NanE enzyme belongs to the isomerase class of enzymes possessing the triose phosphate isomerase (TIM) barrel fold. Here, comparative structural and functional characterizations of the NanE epimerases from two pathogenic Gram-negative bacteria, Fusobacterium nucleatum (Fn) and Vibrio cholerae (Vc), have been carried out. Structures of NanE from Vc (VcNanE) with and without ligand bound have been determined to 1.7 and 2.7 Å resolution, respectively. The structure of NanE from Fn (FnNanE) has been determined to 2.2 Å resolution. The enzymes show kinetic parameters that are consistent with those of Clostridium perfringens NanE. These studies allowed an evaluation of whether NanE may be a good drug target against these pathogenic bacteria.
