Expression of heterologous non-oxidative pentose phosphate pathway from Bacillus methanolicus and phosphoglucose isomerase deletion improves methanol assimilation and metabolite production by a synthetic Escherichia coli methylotroph

Journal Article Bennett, R. Kyle ; Gonzalez, Jacqueline E. ; Whitaker, W. Brian ; ... - Metabolic Engineering

Synthetic methylotrophy aims to develop non-native methylotrophic microorganisms to utilize methane or methanol to produce chemicals and biofuels. We report two complimentary strategies to further engineer a previously engineered methylotrophic E. coli strain for improved methanol utilization. First, we demonstrate improved methanol assimilation in the presence of small amounts of yeast extract by expressing the non-oxidative pentose phosphate pathway (PPP) from Bacillus methanolicus. Second, we demonstrate improved co-utilization of methanol and glucose by deleting the phosphoglucose isomerase gene ( pgi), which rerouted glucose carbon flux through the oxidative PPP. Both strategies led to significant improvements in methanol assimilation as determinedmore »« less

Sort-Seq Approach to Engineering a Formaldehyde-Inducible Promoter for Dynamically Regulated Escherichia coli Growth on Methanol

Journal Article Rohlhill, Julia ; Sandoval, Nicholas R. ; Papoutsakis, Eleftherios T. - ACS Synthetic Biology

Tight and tunable control of gene expression is a highly desirable goal in synthetic biology for constructing predictable gene circuits and achieving preferred phenotypes. Elucidating the sequence–function relationship of promoters is crucial for manipulating gene expression at the transcriptional level, particularly for inducible systems dependent on transcriptional regulators. Sort-seq methods employing fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) and high-throughput sequencing allow for the quantitative analysis of sequence–function relationships in a robust and rapid way. Here we utilized a massively parallel sort-seq approach to analyze the formaldehyde-inducible Escherichia coli promoter (P _frm) with single-nucleotide resolution. A library of mutated formaldehyde-inducible promoters was clonedmore »« less

Engineering the biological conversion of methanol to specialty chemicals in Escherichia coli

Journal Article Whitaker, W. Brian ; Jones, J. Andrew ; Bennett, R. Kyle ; ... - Metabolic Engineering

Methanol is an attractive substrate for biological production of chemicals and fuels. Engineering methylotrophic Escherichia coli as a platform organism for converting methanol to metabolites is desirable. Prior efforts to engineer methylotrophic E. coli were limited by methanol dehydrogenases (Mdhs) with unfavorable enzyme kinetics. We engineered E. coli to utilize methanol using a superior NAD-dependent Mdh from Bacillus stearothermophilus and ribulose monophosphate (RuMP) pathway enzymes from B. methanolicus. Using ¹³C-labeling, we demonstrate this E. coli strain converts methanol into biomass components. For example, the key TCA cycle intermediates, succinate and malate, exhibit labeling up to 39%, while the lower glycolyticmore »« less

A modified serine cycle in Escherichia coli coverts methanol and CO ₂ to two-carbon compounds

Journal Article Yu, Hong ; Liao, James C. - Nature Communications

Microbial utilization of renewable one-carbon compounds, such as methane, methanol, formic acid, and CO ₂, has emerged as a potential approach to increase the range of carbon sources for bioproduction and address climate change issues. Here, we modify the natural serine cycle present in methylotrophs and build an adapted pathway for Escherichia coli, which allows microorganism to condense methanol (or formate) together with bicarbonate to produce various products. We introduce the modified cycle into E. coli and demonstrate its capability for one-carbon assimilation through growth complementation and isotope labeling experiments. We also demonstrate conversion of methanol to ethanol by utilizingmore »« less
