摘要:
This document describes biochemical pathways for producing 7-aminoheptanoic acid using a β-ketoacyl synthase or a β-keioihiolase to form an N-acetyl-5-amino-3- oxopentanoyl-CoA intermediate. 7-aminoheptanoic acid can be enzymatieally converted to pimelic acid, 7-hydroxyheptanoic acid, heptamethylenediamine or 1,7-heptanediol or corresponding salts thereof. This document also describes recombinant microorganisms producing 7-aminoheptanoic acid as well as pimelic acid, 7-hydroxyheptanoic acid, heptamethylenediamine and 1,7-heptanediol or corresponding salts thereof.
摘要:
The present disclosure provides recombinant bacterial cells that have been engineered with genetic circuitry which allow the recombinant bacterial cells to sense a patient's internal environment and respond by turning an engineered metabolic pathway on or off. When turned on, the recombinant bacterial cells complete all of the steps in a metabolic pathway to achieve a therapeutic effect in a host subject. These recombinant bacterial cells are designed to drive therapeutic effects throughout the body of a host from a point of origin of the microbiome. Specifically, the present disclosure provides recombinant bacterial cells comprising a heterologous gene encoding a branched chain amino acid catabolism enzyme. The disclosure further provides pharmaceutical compositions comprising the recombinant bacteria, and methods for treating disorders involving the catabolism of branched chain amino acids using the pharmaceutical compositions disclosed herein.

摘要:
The present invention relates to an RhtB (homoserine/homoserine lactone export transporter) protein variant having an enhanced ability to export O-phosphoserine (OPS) that is a precursor of L-cysteine, a polynucleotide encoding the protein, a vector comprising the polynucleotide, an OPS-producing microorganism comprising the protein variant, a method of producing O-phosphoserine using the microorganism, and a method for preparing cysteine or its derivatives, which comprises reacting O-phosphoserine, produced by the method above, with a sulfide in the presence of O-phosphoserine sulfhydrylase (OPSS) or a microorganism that expresses OPSS.
摘要:
This document describes biochemical pathways for producing pimelic acid, 7-aminoheptanoic acid, 7-hydroxyheptanoic acid, heptamethylenediamine or 1,7-heptanediol by forming two terminal functional groups, comprised of carboxyl, amine or hydroxyl group, in a C7 aliphatic backbone substrate. These pathways, metabolic engineering and cultivation strategies described herein rely on the carbon chain elongation enzymes or homologs thereof associated with the cyclohexane carboxylate biosynthesis from Syntrophus aciditrophicus or 2-aminoadipate lysine biosynthesis.
