Khanh HC, Kaothien-Nakayama P, Zou Z, Nakayama H. Metabolic pathway engineering of high-salinity-induced overproduction of L-proline improves high-salinity stress tolerance of an ectoine-deficient Halomonas elongata. Appl Environ Microbiol 2024:e0119524. [PMID: 39158316 DOI: 10.1128/aem.01195-24] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/23/2024] [Accepted: 07/25/2024] [Indexed: 08/20/2024] Open
Abstract
Halophilic bacteria have adapted to survive in high-salinity environments by accumulating amino acids and their derivatives as organic osmolytes. L-Proline (Pro) is one such osmolyte that is also being used as a feed stimulant in the aquaculture industry. Halomonas elongata OUT30018 is a moderately halophilic bacterium that accumulates ectoine (Ect), but not Pro, as an osmolyte. Due to its ability to utilize diverse biomass-derived carbon and nitrogen sources for growth, H. elongata OUT30018 is used in this work to create a strain that overproduces Pro, which could be used as a sustainable Pro-rich feed additive. To achieve this, we replaced the coding region of H. elongata OUT30018's Ect biosynthetic operon with the artificial self-cloned proBm1AC gene cluster that encodes the Pro biosynthetic enzymes: feedback-inhibition insensitive mutant γ-glutamate kinase (γ-GKD118N/D119N), γ-glutamyl phosphate reductase, and pyrroline-5-carboxylate reductase. Additionally, the putA gene, which encodes the key enzyme of Pro catabolism, was deleted from the genome to generate H. elongata HN6. While the Ect-deficient H. elongata KA1 could not grow in minimal media containing more than 4% NaCl, H. elongata HN6 thrived in the medium containing 8% NaCl by accumulating Pro in the cell instead of Ect, reaching a concentration of 353.1 ± 40.5 µmol/g cell fresh weight, comparable to the Ect accumulated in H. elongata OUT30018 in response to salt stress. With its genetic background, H. elongata HN6 has the potential to be developed into a Pro-rich cell factory for upcycling biomass waste into single-cell feed additives, contributing to a more sustainable aquaculture industry.IMPORTANCEWe report here the evidence for de novo biosynthesis of Pro to be used as a major osmolyte in an ectoine-deficient Halomonas elongata. Remarkably, the concentration of Pro accumulated in H. elongata HN6 (∆ectABC::mCherry-proBm1AC ∆putA) is comparable to that of ectoine accumulated in H. elongata OUT30018 in response to high-salinity stress. We also found that among the two γ-glutamate kinase mutants (γ-GKD118N/D119N and γ-GKD154A/E155A) designed to resemble the two known Escherichia coli feedback-inhibition insensitive γ-GKD107N and γ-GKE143A, the γ-GKD118N/D119N mutant is the only one that became insensitive to feedback inhibition by Pro in H. elongata. As Pro is one of the essential feed additives for the poultry and aquaculture industries, the genetic makeup of the engineered H. elongata HN6 would allow for the sustainable upcycling of high-salinity waste biomass into a Pro-rich single-cell eco-feed.

Vitamin E Regulates the Collagen Contents in the Body Wall of Sea Cucumber ( Apostichopus japonicus) via Its Antioxidant Effects and the TGF-β/Smads Pathway. Antioxidants (Basel) 2024; 13:847. [PMID: 39061914 PMCID: PMC11274103 DOI: 10.3390/antiox13070847] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/08/2024] [Revised: 07/06/2024] [Accepted: 07/11/2024] [Indexed: 07/28/2024] Open
Abstract
A 70-day feeding experiment was performed to investigate the effects of dietary vitamin E at different addition levels (0, 100, 200, and 400 mg/kg) on the growth, collagen content, antioxidant capacity, and expressions of genes related to the transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β)/Sma- and Mad-related protein (SMAD) signaling pathway in sea cucumbers (Apostichopus japonicus). The results showed that the A. japonicus in the group with 200 mg/kg vitamin E exhibited significantly higher growth rates, hydroxyproline (Hyp) and type III collagen contents, and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity, as well as the upregulation of genes related to Tenascin, SMAD1, and TGF-β. Additionally, the A. japonicus in the group with 100 mg/kg vitamin E exhibited significantly higher body-wall indexes, denser collagen arrangements, improved texture quality, higher activities of glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) and peroxidase (POD), as well as the upregulation of genes related to collagen type I alpha 2 chain (COL1A2), collagen type III alpha 1 chain (COL3A1), and Sp-Smad2/3 (SMAD2/3). In contrast, the A. japonicus in the group with 400 mg/kg vitamin E showed a decrease in the growth rates, reduced Hyp contents, increased type I collagen contents, collagen fiber aggregation and a harder texture, along with the downregulation of genes related to the TGF-β/SMAD signaling pathway. Furthermore, the A. japonicus in the group with 400 mg/kg exhibited oxidative stress, reflected by the lower activities of SOD, GSH-Px, and POD. These results indicated that A. japonicus fed diets with the addition of 100-200 mg/kg vitamin E had improved collagen retention and texture quality by increasing the activities of antioxidant enzymes and the expressions of genes in the TGF-β/SMAD signaling pathway. However, the excessive addition of vitamin E (400 mg/kg) induced oxidative stress, which could increase the collagen degradation and fibrosis and pose a threat to the growth and texture quality of A. japonicus.

Abstract
The functional pool of canonical amino acids (cAAs) has been enriched through the emergence of non-canonical amino acids (ncAAs). NcAAs play a crucial role in the production of various pharmaceuticals. The biosynthesis of ncAAs has emerged as an alternative to traditional chemical synthesis due to its environmental friendliness and high efficiency. The breakthrough genetic code expansion (GCE) technique developed in recent years has allowed the incorporation of ncAAs into target proteins, giving them special functions and biological activities. The biosynthesis of ncAAs and their incorporation into target proteins within a single microbe has become an enticing application of such molecules. Based on that, in this study, we first review the biosynthesis methods for ncAAs and analyze the difficulties related to biosynthesis. We then summarize the GCE methods and analyze their advantages and disadvantages. Further, we review the application progress of ncAAs and anticipate the challenges and future development directions of ncAAs.

Recent Advances in the Hydroxylation of Amino Acids and Its Derivatives. FERMENTATION-BASEL 2023.

Abstract
Hydroxy amino acids (HAAs) are of unique value in the chemical and pharmaceutical industry with antiviral, antifungal, antibacterial, and anticancer properties. At present, the hydroxylated amino acids most studied are tryptophan, lysine, aspartic acid, leucine, proline, etc., and some of their derivatives. The hydroxylation of amino acids is inextricably linked to the catalysis of various biological enzymes, such as tryptophan hydroxylase, L-pipecolic acid trans-4-hydroxylase, lysine hydroxylase, etc. Hydroxylase conspicuously increases the variety of amino acid derivatives. For the manufacture of HAAs, the high regioselectivity biocatalytic synthesis approach is favored over chemical synthesis. Nowadays, the widely used method is to transcribe the hydroxylation pathway of various amino acids, including various catalytic enzymes, into Corynebacterium glutamicum or Escherichia coli for heterologous expression and then produce hydroxyamino acids. In this paper, we systematically reviewed the biosynthetic hydroxylation of aliphatic, heterocyclic, and aromatic amino acids and introduced the basic research and application of HAAs.

Abstract
Simple Summary This study investigated the impact of antibiotic treatment οn the serum and fecal metabolome (the collection of all small molecules produced by the gut bacteria and the host) of young cats. Thirty 2-month-old cats with an upper respiratory tract infection were treated with either amoxicillin/clavulanic acid for 20 days or doxycycline for 28 days. In addition, another 15 control cats that did not receive antibiotics were included. Blood was collected on days 0 (before treatment), 20/28 (last day of treatment), and 300 (10 months after the end of treatment), while feces were collected on days 0, 20/28, 60, 120, and 300. Seven serum and fecal metabolites differed between cats treated with antibiotics and control cats at the end of treatment period. Ten months after treatment, no metabolites differed from healthy cats, suggesting that amoxicillin/clavulanic acid or doxycycline treatment only temporarily affects the abundance of the serum and fecal metabolome. Abstract The long-term impact of antibiotics on the serum and fecal metabolome of kittens has not yet been investigated. Therefore, the objective of this study was to evaluate the serum and fecal metabolome of kittens with an upper respiratory tract infection (URTI) before, during, and after antibiotic treatment and compare it with that of healthy control cats. Thirty 2-month-old cats with a URTI were randomly assigned to receive either amoxicillin/clavulanic acid for 20 days or doxycycline for 28 days, and 15 cats of similar age were enrolled as controls. Fecal samples were collected on days 0, 20/28, 60, 120, and 300, while serum was collected on days 0, 20/28, and 300. Untargeted and targeted metabolomic analyses were performed on both serum and fecal samples. Seven metabolites differed significantly in antibiotic-treated cats compared to controls on day 20/28, with two differing on day 60, and two on day 120. Alterations in the pattern of serum amino acids, antioxidants, purines, and pyrimidines, as well as fecal bile acids, sterols, and fatty acids, were observed in antibiotic-treated groups that were not observed in control cats. However, the alterations caused by either amoxicillin/clavulanic acid or doxycycline of the fecal and serum metabolome were only temporary and were resolved by 10 months after their withdrawal.

Abstract
l-glutamate family amino acids (GFAAs), consisting of l-glutamate, l-arginine, l-citrulline, l-ornithine, l-proline, l-hydroxyproline, γ-aminobutyric acid, and 5-aminolevulinic acid, are widely applied in the food, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and animal feed industries, accounting for billions of dollars of market activity. These GFAAs have many functions, including being protein constituents, maintaining the urea cycle, and providing precursors for the biosynthesis of pharmaceuticals. Currently, the production of GFAAs mainly depends on microbial fermentation using Corynebacterium glutamicum (including its related subspecies Corynebacterium crenatum), which is substantially engineered through multistep metabolic engineering strategies. This review systematically summarizes recent advances in the metabolic pathways, regulatory mechanisms, and metabolic engineering strategies for GFAA accumulation in C. glutamicum and C. crenatum, which provides insights into the recent progress in l-glutamate-derived chemical production.

Abstract
Trans-4-hydroxy-L-proline is an important amino acid that is widely used in medicinal and industrial applications, particularly as a valuable chiral building block for the organic synthesis of pharmaceuticals. Traditionally, trans-4-hydroxy-L-proline is produced by the acidic hydrolysis of collagen, but this process has serious drawbacks, such as low productivity, a complex process and heavy environmental pollution. Presently, trans-4-hydroxy-L-proline is mainly produced via fermentative production by microorganisms. Some recently published advances in metabolic engineering have been used to effectively construct microbial cell factories that have improved the trans-4-hydroxy-L-proline biosynthetic pathway. To probe the potential of microorganisms for trans-4-hydroxy-L-proline production, new strategies and tools must be proposed. In this review, we provide a comprehensive understanding of trans-4-hydroxy-L-proline, including its biosynthetic pathway, proline hydroxylases and production by metabolic engineering, with a focus on improving its production.

Abstract
N-alkylated amino acids occur widely in nature and can also be found in bioactive secondary metabolites such as the glycopeptide antibiotic vancomycin and the immunosuppressant cyclosporine A. To meet the demand for N-alkylated amino acids, they are currently produced chemically; however, these approaches often lack enantiopurity, show low product yields and require toxic reagents. Fermentative routes to N-alkylated amino acids like N-methyl-l-alanine or N-methylantranilate, a precursor of acridone alkaloids, have been established using engineered Corynebacterium glutamicum, which has been used for the industrial production of amino acids for decades. Here, we describe metabolic engineering of C. glutamicum for de novo production of N-methylphenylalanine based on reductive methylamination of phenylpyruvate. Pseudomonas putida Δ-1-piperideine-2-carboxylate reductase DpkA containing the amino acid exchanges P262A and M141L showed comparable catalytic efficiencies with phenylpyruvate and pyruvate, whereas the wild-type enzyme preferred the latter substrate over the former. Deletion of the anthranilate synthase genes trpEG and of the genes encoding branched-chain amino acid aminotransferase IlvE and phenylalanine aminotransferase AroT in a strain engineered to overproduce anthranilate abolished biosynthesis of l-tryptophan and l-phenylalanine to accumulate phenylpyruvate. Upon heterologous expression of DpkAP262A,M141L, N-methylphenylalanine production resulted upon addition of monomethylamine to the medium. In glucose-based minimal medium, an N-methylphenylalanine titer of 0.73 ± 0.05 g L−1, a volumetric productivity of 0.01 g L−1 h−1 and a yield of 0.052 g g−1 glucose were reached. When xylose isomerase gene xylA from Xanthomonas campestris and the endogenous xylulokinase gene xylB were expressed in addition, xylose as sole carbon source supported production of N-methylphenylalanine to a titer of 0.6 ± 0.04 g L−1 with a volumetric productivity of 0.008 g L−1 h−1 and a yield of 0.05 g g−1 xylose. Thus, a fermentative route to sustainable production of N-methylphenylalanine by recombinant C. glutamicum has been established.

Abstract
Non-proteinogenic trans-4-hydroxy-l-proline (t4HYP), a crucial naturally occurred amino acid, is present in most organisms. t4HYP is a regio- and stereo-selectively hydroxylated product of l-proline and a valuable building block for pharmaceutically important intermediates/ingredients synthesis. Microbial production of t4HYP has aroused extensive investigations because of its low-cost and environmentally benign features. Herein, we reported metabolic engineering of endogenous l-proline biosynthetic pathway to enhance t4HYP production in trace l-proline-producing Escherichia coli BL21(DE3) (21-S0). The genes responsible for by-product formation from l-proline, pyruvate, acetyl-CoA, and isocitrate in the biosynthetic network of 21-S0 were knocked out to channel the metabolic flux towards l-proline biosynthesis. PdhR was knocked out to remove its negative regulation and aceK was deleted to ensure isocitrate dehydrogenase's activity and to increase NADPH/NADP+ level. The other genes for l-proline biosynthesis were enhanced by integration of strong promoters and 5'-untranslated regions. The resulting engineered E. coli strains 21-S1 ∼ 21-S9 harboring a codon-optimized proline 4-hydroxylase-encoding gene (P4H) were grown and fermented. A titer of 4.82 g/L of t4HYP production in 21-S6 overexpressing P4H was obtained at conical flask level, comparing with the starting 21-S0 (26 mg/L). The present work paves an efficient metabolic engineering way for higher t4HYP production in E. coli.

Abstract
A new trans-4-hydroxy-l-proline (trans-Hyp) producing Bacillus cereus HBL-AI, was isolated from the air, which was screened just using l-proline as carbon and energy sources. This strain exhibited 73·4% bioconversion rate from initial l-proline (3 g l-1 ) to trans-Hyp. By sequencing the genome of this bacterium, 6244 coding sequences were obtained. Genome annotation analysis and functional expression were used to identify the proline-4-hydroxylase (BP4H) in HBL-AI. This enzyme belonged to a family of 2-oxoglutarate-related dioxygenases, which required 2-oxoglutarate and O2 as co-substrates for the reaction. Homologous modelling indicated that the enzyme had two monomers and contained conserved motifs, which included a distorted 'jelly roll' β strand core and the residues (HXDXnH and RXS). The engineering Escherichia coli 3 Δ W3110/pTrc99a-proba-bp4h was constructed using BP4H, which transformed glucose to trans-Hyp in one step with high concentration of 46·2 g l-1 . This strategy provides a green and efficient method for synthesis of trans-Hyp and thus has a great potential in industrial application.

Abstract
Trans-4-hydroxy-l-proline (Hyp) is a useful chiral building block for production of many nutritional supplements and pharmaceuticals. However, it is still challenging for industrial production of Hyp due to heavy environmental pollution and low production efficiency. To establish a green and efficient process for Hyp production, the proline 4-hydroxylase (DsP4H) from Dactylosporangium sp. RH1 was overexpressed and functionally characterized in Escherichia coli BL21(DE3). The recombinant DsP4H with l-proline as a substrate exhibited Km , kcat and kcat /Km values up to 0.80 mM, 0.52 s-1 and 0.65 s-1 ·mM-1 respectively. Furthermore, DsP4H showed the highest activity at 35°C and pH 6.5 towards l-proline. The highest enzyme activity of 175.6 U mg-1 was achieved by optimizing culture parameters. Under the optimal transformation conditions in a 5-l fermenter, Hyp titre, conversion rate and productivity were up to 99.9 g l-1 , 99.9% and 2.77 g l-1 h-1 respectively. This strategy described here provides an efficient method for production of Hyp and thus has a great potential in industrial application.

Abstract
Non-canonical residues, caps, crosslinks, and nicks are important to many functions of DNAs, RNAs, proteins, and complexes. However, we do not fully understand how networks of such non-canonical macromolecules generate behavior. One barrier is our limited formats for describing macromolecules. To overcome this barrier, we develop BpForms and BcForms, a toolkit for representing the primary structure of macromolecules as combinations of residues, caps, crosslinks, and nicks. The toolkit can help omics researchers perform quality control and exchange information about macromolecules, help systems biologists assemble global models of cells that encompass processes such as post-translational modification, and help bioengineers design cells.

Abstract
Microbial production of trans-4-hydroxy-l-proline (Hyp) offers significant advantages over conventional chemical extraction. However, it is still challenging for industrial production of Hyp due to its low production efficiency. Here, chassis engineering was used for tailoring Escherichia coli cellular metabolism to enhance enzymatic production of Hyp. Specifically, four proline 4-hydroxylases (P4H) were selected to convert l-proline to Hyp, and the recombinant strain overexpressing DsP4H produced 32.5 g l-1 Hyp with α-ketoglutarate addition. To produce Hyp without α-ketoglutarate addition, α-ketoglutarate supply was enhanced by rewiring the TCA cycle and l-proline degradation pathway, and oxygen transfer was improved by fine-tuning heterologous haemoglobin expression. In a 5-l fermenter, the engineered strain E. coliΔsucCDΔputA-VHb(L) -DsP4H showed a significant increase in Hyp titre, conversion rate and productivity up to 49.8 g l-1 , 87.4% and 1.38 g l-1 h-1 respectively. This strategy described here provides an efficient method for production of Hyp, and it has a great potential in industrial application.

Abstract
Sarcosine, an N-methylated amino acid, shows potential as antipsychotic, and serves as building block for peptide-based drugs, and acts as detergent when acetylated. N-methylated amino acids are mainly produced chemically or by biocatalysis, with either low yields or high costs for co-factor regeneration. Corynebacterium glutamicum, which is used for the industrial production of amino acids for decades, has recently been engineered for production of N-methyl-L-alanine and sarcosine. Heterologous expression of dpkA in a C. glutamicum strain engineered for glyoxylate overproduction enabled fermentative production of sarcosine from sugars and monomethylamine. Here, mutation of an amino acyl residue in the substrate binding site of DpkA (DpkAF117L) led to an increased specific activity for reductive alkylamination of glyoxylate using monomethylamine and monoethylamine as substrates. Introduction of DpkAF117L into the production strain accelerated the production of sarcosine and a volumetric productivity of 0.16 g L-1 h-1 could be attained. Using monoethylamine as substrate, we demonstrated N-ethylglycine production with a volumetric productivity of 0.11 g L-1 h-1, which to the best of our knowledge is the first report of its fermentative production. Subsequently, the feasibility of using rice straw hydrolysate as alternative carbon source was tested and production of N-ethylglycine to a titer of 1.6 g L-1 after 60 h of fed-batch bioreactor cultivation could be attained.

Abstract
The aim of this work was to study the fermentative production of the N-methylated amino acid sarcosine by C. glutamicum. Characterization of the imine reductase DpkA from Pseudomonas putida revealed that it catalyses N-methylamination of glyoxylate to sarcosine. Heterologous expression of dpkA in a C. glutamicum strain engineered for glyoxylate overproduction enabled fermentative production of sarcosine from sugars and monomethylamine. Glucose-based fermentation reached sarcosine production titers of 2.4 ± 0.1 g L-1. Sarcosine production based on the second generation feedstocks xylose and arabinose led to higher product titers of 2.7 ± 0.1 g L-1 and 3.4 ± 0.3 g L-1, respectively, than glucose-based production. Optimization of production conditions with xylose and potassium acetate blends increased sarcosine titers to 8.7 ± 0.2 g L-1 with a yield of 0.25 g g-1. This is the first example in which a C. glutamicum process using lignocellulosic pentoses is superior to glucose-based production.

Abstract
Hydroxyl amino acids have tremendous potential applications in food and pharmaceutical industries. However, available dioxygenases are limited for selective and efficient hydroxylation of free amino acids. Here, we identified a 2-oxoglutarate-dependent dioxygenase from Kutzneria albida by gene mining and characterized the encoded protein (KaPH1). KaPH1 was estimated to have a molecular weight of 29 kDa. The optimal pH and temperature for its l-proline hydroxylation activity were 6.5 and 30 °C, respectively. The K m and k cat values of KaPH1 were 1.07 mM and 0.54 s-1, respectively, for this reaction by which 120 mM l-proline was converted to trans-4-hydroxy-l-proline with 92.8% yield (3.93 g·L-1·h-1). EDTA, [1,10-phenanthroline], Cu2+, Zn2+, Co2+, and Ni2+ inhibited this reaction. KaPH1 was also active toward l-isoleucine for 4-hydroxyisoleucine synthesis. Additionally, the unique biophysical features of KaPH1 were predicted by molecular modeling whereby this study also contributes to our understanding of the catalytic mechanisms of 2-oxoglutarate-dependent dioxygenases.

Abstract
Amino acid fermentation is one of the major pillars of industrial biotechnology. The multi-billion USD amino acid market is rising steadily and is diversifying. Metabolic engineering is no longer focused solely on strain development for the bulk amino acids L-glutamate and L-lysine that are produced at the million-ton scale, but targets specialty amino acids. These demands are met by the development and application of new metabolic engineering tools including CRISPR and biosensor technologies as well as production processes by enabling a flexible feedstock concept, co-production and co-cultivation schemes. Metabolic engineering advances are exemplified for specialty proteinogenic amino acids, cyclic amino acids, omega-amino acids, and amino acids functionalized by hydroxylation, halogenation and N-methylation.

Abstract
C–H functionalization is a chemically challenging but highly desirable transformation. 2-oxoglutarate-dependent oxygenases (2OGXs) are remarkably versatile biocatalysts for the activation of C–H bonds. In nature, they have been shown to accept both small and large molecules carrying out a plethora of reactions, including hydroxylations, demethylations, ring formations, rearrangements, desaturations, and halogenations, making them promising candidates for industrial manufacture. In this review, we describe the current status of 2OGX use in biocatalytic applications concentrating on 2OGX-catalyzed oxyfunctionalization of amino acids and synthesis of antibiotics. Looking forward, continued bioinformatic sourcing will help identify additional, practical useful members of this intriguing enzyme family, while enzyme engineering will pave the way to enhance 2OGX reactivity for non-native substrates.

Abstract
trans-4-Hydroxy- l-proline (Hyp) is an abundant component of mammalian collagen and functions as a chiral synthon for the syntheses of anti-inflammatory drugs in the pharmaceutical industry. Proline 4-hydroxylase (P4H) can catalyze the conversion of l-proline to Hyp; however, it is still challenging for the fermentative production of Hyp from glucose using P4H due to the low yield and productivity. Here, we report the metabolic engineering of Corynebacterium glutamicum for the fermentative production of Hyp by reconstructing tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle together with heterologously expressing the p4h gene from Dactylosporangium sp. strain RH1. In silico model-based simulation showed that α-ketoglutarate was redirected from the TCA cycle toward Hyp synthetic pathway driven by P4H when the carbon flux from succinyl-CoA to succinate descended to zero. The interruption of the TCA cycle by the deletion of sucCD-encoding the succinyl-CoA synthetase (SUCOAS) led to a 60% increase in Hyp production and had no obvious impact on the growth rate. Fine-tuning of plasmid-borne ProB* and P4H abundances led to a significant increase in the yield of Hyp on glucose. The final engineered Hyp-7 strain produced up to 21.72 g/L Hyp with a yield of 0.27 mol/mol (Hyp/glucose) and a volumetric productivity of 0.36 g·L -1 ·hr -1 in the shake flask fermentation. To our knowledge, this is the highest yield and productivity achieved by microbial fermentation in a glucose-minimal medium for Hyp production. This strategy provides new insights into engineering C. glutamicum by flux coupling for the fermentative production of Hyp and related products.

Abstract
An intriguing structural feature of echinocandins is the incorporation of hydroxylated amino acids. Elucidation of the machinery and the mechanism responsible for this modification is critical to generate new echinocandin derivatives with enhanced antifungal activity. In our present study, we biochemically characterized the α-ketoglutarate/Fe2+-dependent proline hydroxylase (HtyE) from two Aspergillus species, Aspergillus pachycristatus and Aspergillus aculeatus, in the respective echinocandin B and aculeacin A biosynthetic gene clusters. Our results showed that both Ap- and Aa-HtyE converted L-proline to trans-4- and trans-3-hydroxyproline, but at different ratios. Both enzymes also effectively hydroxylated C-3 of 4R-methyl-proline, L-pipecolic acid, and D-proline. Our homology modeling and site-directed mutagenesis studies identified Leu182 of Ap-HtyE as a key residue in determining the regioselectivity of Ap-HtyE. Notably, we found that the efficiency in C-3 hydroxylation of 4R-methyl-proline has no direct correlation with the ratio of trans-4-hydroxylproline to trans-3-hydroxylproline catalyzed by HtyE. Deletion of Ap-htyE abolished A. pachycristatus anti-Candida activity and the production of echinocandin B, demonstrating that HtyE is the enzyme responsible for the hydroxylation of L-proline and 4R-methyl-proline in vivo and is essential for the anti-Candida activity of echinocandin B. Our present study thus sheds light on the biochemical basis for the selective hydroxylation of L-proline and 4R-methyl-proline and reveals a new type of biocatalyst with potential for the custom production of hydroxylated proline and pipecolic acid derivatives.

Abstract
trans-4-Hydroxy-l-proline (trans-4Hyp) is widely used as a valuable building block for the organic synthesis of many pharmaceuticals such as carbapenem antibiotics. The major limitation for industrial bioproduction of trans-4Hyp is the low titer and productivity by using the existing trans-proline 4-hydroxylases (trans-P4Hs). Herein, three new trans-P4Hs from Alteromonas mediterranea (AlP4H), Micromonospora sp. CNB394 (MiP4H) and Sorangium cellulosum (ScP4H) were discovered through genome mining and enzymatic determination. These trans-P4Hs were introduced into an l-proline-producing chassis cell, and the recombinant strain overexpressing AlP4H produced the highest concentration of trans-4Hyp (3.57 g/L) from glucose in a shake flask. In a fed-batch fermentation with a 5 L bioreactor, the best strain SEcH (pTc-B74A-alp4h) accumulated 45.83 g/L of trans-4Hyp within 36 h, with the highest productivity (1.27 g/L/h) in trans-4Hyp fermentation from glucose, to the best of our knowledge. This study provides a promising hydroxylase candidate for efficient industrial production of trans-4Hyp.

Abstract
Halobacillus halophilus, a moderately halophilic bacterium, accumulates a variety of compatible solutes including glycine betaine, glutamate, glutamine, proline, and ectoine to cope with osmotic stress. Non-targeted analysis of intracellular organic compounds using 1H-NMR showed that a large amount of trans-4-hydroxy-L-proline (Hyp), which has not been reported as a compatible solute in H. halophilus, was accumulated in response to high NaCl salinity, suggesting that Hyp may be an important compatible solute in H. halophilus. Candidate genes encoding proline 4-hydroxylase (PH-4), which hydroxylates L-proline to generate Hyp, were retrieved from the genome of H. halophilus through domain searches based on the sequences of known PH-4 proteins. A gene, HBHAL_RS11735, which was annotated as a multidrug DMT transporter permease in GenBank, was identified as the PH-4 gene through protein expression analysis in Escherichia coli. The PH-4 gene constituted a transcriptional unit with a promoter and a rho-independent terminator, and it was distantly located from the proline biosynthetic gene cluster (pro operon). Transcriptional analysis showed that PH-4 gene expression was NaCl concentration-dependent, and was specifically induced by chloride anion, similar to the pro operon. Accumulation of intracellular Hyp was also observed in other bacteria, suggesting that Hyp may be a widespread compatible solute in halophilic and halotolerant bacteria.

Abstract
Corynebacterium glutamicum is the workhorse of the production of proteinogenic amino acids used in food and feed biotechnology. After more than 50 years of safe amino acid production, C. glutamicum has recently also been engineered for the production of amino acid-derived compounds, which find various applications, e.g., as synthons for the chemical industry in several markets including the polymer market. The amino acid-derived compounds such as non-proteinogenic ω-amino acids, α,ω-diamines, and cyclic or hydroxylated amino acids have similar carbon backbones and functional groups as their amino acid precursors. Decarboxylation of amino acids may yield ω-amino acids such as β-alanine, γ-aminobutyrate, and δ-aminovalerate as well as α,ω-diamines such as putrescine and cadaverine. Since transamination is the final step in several amino acid biosynthesis pathways, 2-keto acids as immediate amino acid precursors are also amenable to production using recombinant C. glutamicum strains. Approaches for metabolic engineering of C. glutamicum for production of amino acid-derived compounds will be described, and where applicable, production from alternative carbon sources or use of genome streamline will be referred to. The excellent large-scale fermentation experience with C. glutamicum offers the possibility that these amino acid-derived speciality products may enter large-volume markets.
