Global gene expression profiling of wild type and lysC knockout Escherichia coli W3110.

چکیده
Aspartokinase III, encoded by lysC, is responsible for the first step of lysine biosynthesis in Escherichia coli. In this study, a lysC knockout E. coli W3110 strain was generated to study the differential gene expression profiles of wild type and lysC knockout strains. Several significant changes were observed, including biosynthesis of lysine, oxaloacetate, alpha-ketoglutarate and glutamate genes. Genes related to transporters and heat shock proteins were also affected by lysC knockout. The results indicated that the lysC knockout strain exhibited some phenomena similar to lysine starvation. The data generated by this study further clarify the systematic role of lysC in lysine biosynthesis.

Motivation: Availability of totally sequenced genomes allowed a possibility to use high-throughput approaches for annotation of the regulatory gene networks. Escherichia coli as a mostly studied organism provides the best opportunity to reveal new gene members of the hitherto identified regulons and to classify the genes with yet unknown functions. Results: Microarray approach has been used to ...
متن کاملTranscriptome Profiling and Deciphering the Regulatory Role of Global Transcription Factor fadR
fadR is a transcription factor which has a Helix-turn-Helix motif [5], one of most common prokaryotic transcription factor. It regulates metabolic pathway such as the fatty acid biosynthesis and degradation pathways, glyoxylate pathway and possible role in regulation of amino acid biosynthesis directly or indirectly [1, 2, 3, 4]. By use of cDNA microarray one can search for regulation of transc...
متن کاملIncreased Hydrogen Production by Genetic Engineering of Escherichia coli
Escherichia coli is capable of producing hydrogen under anaerobic growth conditions. Formate is converted to hydrogen in the fermenting cell by the formate hydrogenlyase enzyme system. The specific hydrogen yield from glucose was improved by the modification of transcriptional regulators and metabolic enzymes involved in the dissimilation of pyruvate and formate. The engineered E. coli strains ...
متن کاملThe leader sequence of the Escherichia coli lysC gene is involved in the regulation of LysC synthesis.
In Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis, long leader sequences are found upstream of the lysC coding sequences which encode lysine-sensitive aspartokinase. Highly conserved regions exist between these sequences. Mutations leading to constitutive expression of the E. coli lysC gene have been localised within these conserved regions, indicating that they participate in the lysine-mediated repre...

Rumen bacterial strains can potentially be manipulated to perform functions different from wild type species. The most numerous species of bacteria in the rumen and gut are species of the familyBacteroidetes, whichcan have the potential for genetic modification for enzyme production. One of the genetic manipulation of rumen bacteria can perform for production of starch digestive enzyme for the ...
