    摘要: Provided herein is a genetically engineered microbe which accumulates citramalate. In one embodiment, the microbe includes an exogenous polynucleotide encoding a citramalate synthase which catalyzes the condensation of acetyl CoA and pyruvic acid. Optionally, the microbe also includes a second exogenous polynucleotide encoding a citrate synthase which catalyzes the condensation of acetyl CoA and oxaloacetate, and the citrate synthase activity in the microbe is reduced compared to a control microbe. In one embodiment, the citrate synthase includes at least one amino acid substitution in the acetyl-CoA binding pocket, the mobile loop, the NADH binding site, and the oxaloacetate binding site, or a combination thereof. Also provided herein are methods for using the genetically engineered microbe, including a method for producing citramalate. The method can further include isolating the citramalate.

    摘要: A method for producing anteiso fatty acid is provided. The method comprises culturing a cell comprising at least one exogenous or overexpressed polynucleotide comprising a nucleic acid sequence encoding a polypeptide that catalyzes at least one of the following reactions: conversion of pyruvate to citramalate; conversion of citramalate to citraconate; conversion of citraconate to β-methyl-D-malate; conversion of β-methyl-D-malate to 2-oxobutanoate; or conversion of threonine to 2-oxobutanoate, under conditions allowing expression of the polynucleotide(s) and production of anteiso fatty acid. Optionally the cell further comprises at least one exogenous or overexpressed polynucleotide comprising a nucleic acid sequence encoding a polypeptide that catalyzes conversion of 2-oxobutanoate to 2-aceto-2-hydroxy-butyrate, conversion of 2-aceto-2-hydroxy-butyrate to 2,3-dihydroxy-3-methylvalerate, and/or conversion of 2,3-dihydroxy-3-methylvalerate to α-keto-3-methylvalerate. A cell that produces anteiso fatty acid and a method of using the cell to produce anteiso fatty acid also are provided.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a novel metabolic pathway for producing itaconic acid and a recombinant microorganism, for producing itaconic acid, into which the metabolic pathway is introduced. It has been confirmed that the recombinant microorganism, for producing itaconic acid, into which the novel itaconic acid metabolic pathway is introduced, according to the present invention, significantly increases the production and yield of itaconic acid. In addition, as the recombinant microorganism for producing itaconic acid of the present invention uses an intermediate material of glycolysis rather than an intermediate material of the TCA cycle, the recombinant microorganism can further increase the production yield of itaconic acid through further improvement. Accordingly, the novel metabolic pathway for producing itaconic acid and the recombinant microorganism into which the metabolic pathway is introduced can increase the economic feasibility of itaconic acid, and thus can be variously used in industrial fields for synthetic resins, latexes, food additives, and the like in which itaconic acid is utilized.
