    Abstract Corynebacterium glutamicum is a Gram-positive nonpathogenic bacterium that is used for the biotechnological production of amino acids. Here, we investigated the transcriptional control of the malE gene encoding malic enzyme (MalE) in C. glutamicum ATCC 13032, which is known to involve the nitrogen regulator AmtR. Gel shift experiments using purified regulators RamA and RamB revealed binding of these regulators to the malE promoter. In DNA-affinity purification experiments a hitherto uncharacterized transcriptional regulator belonging to the MarR family was found to bind to malE promoter DNA and was designated as MalR. C. glutamicum cells overexpressing malR showed reduced MalE activities in LB medium or in minimal media with acetate, glucose, pyruvate or citrate. Deletion of malR positively affected MalE activities during growth in LB medium and minimal media with pyruvate, glucose or the TCA cycle dicarboxylates l-malate, succinate and fumarate. Transcriptional fusion analysis revealed elevated malE promoter activity in the malR deletion mutant during growth in pyruvate minimal medium suggesting that MalR acts as a repressor of malE. Purified MalR bound malE promoter DNA in gel shift experiments. Two MalR binding sites were identified in the malE promoter by mutational analysis. Thus, MalR contributes to the complex transcriptional control of malE which also involves RamA, RamB and AmtR.

    Abstract Two strains of the methylotrophic yeast Pichia pastoris were used to establish cyanophycin (multi-L-arginyl-poly-L-aspartic acid [CGP]) synthesis and to explore the applicability of this industrially widely used microorganism for the production of this polyamide. Therefore, the CGP synthetase gene from the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. strain PCC 6308 (cphA(6308)) was expressed under the control of the alcohol oxidase 1 promoter, yielding CGP contents of up to 10.4% (wt/wt), with the main fraction consisting of the soluble form of the polymer. To increase the polymer contents and to obtain further insights into the structural or catalytic properties of the enzyme, site-directed mutagenesis was applied to cphA(6308) and the mutated gene products were analyzed after expression in P. pastoris and Escherichia coli, respectively. CphA(6308)Delta1, which was truncated by one amino acid at the C terminus; point mutated CphA(6308)C595S; and the combined double-mutant CphA(6308)Delta1C595S protein were purified. They exhibited up to 2.5-fold higher enzyme activities of 4.95 U/mg, 3.20 U/mg, and 4.17 U/mg, respectively, than wild-type CphA(6308) (2.01 U/mg). On the other hand, CphA proteins truncated by two (CphA(6308)Delta2) or three (CphA(6308)Delta3) amino acids at the C terminus showed similar or reduced CphA enzyme activity in comparison to CphA(6308). In flask experiments, a maximum of 14.3% (wt/wt) CGP was detected after the expression of CphA(6308)Delta1 in P. pastoris. For stabilization of the expression plasmid, the his4 gene from Saccharomyces cerevisiae was cloned into the expression vector used and the constructs were transferred to histidine auxotrophic P. pastoris strain GS115. Parallel fermentations at a one-to-one scale revealed 26 degrees C and 6.0 as the optimal temperature and pH, respectively, for CGP synthesis. After optimization of fermentation parameters, medium composition, and the length of the cultivation period, CGP contents could be increased from 3.2 to 13.0% (wt/wt) in cells of P. pastoris GS115 expressing CphA(6308) and up to even 23.3% (wt/wt) in cells of P. pastoris GS115 expressing CphA(6308)Delta1.
