ePathOptimize: A Combinatorial Approach for Transcriptional Balancing of Metabolic Pathways

Journal Article Jones, J. Andrew ; Vernacchio, Victoria R. ; Lachance, Daniel M. ; ... - Scientific Reports

The ability to fine tune gene expression has created the field of metabolic pathway optimization and balancing where a variety of factors affecting flux balance are carefully modulated to improve product titers, yields and productivity. Using a library of isopropyl β-D-1-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG)-inducible mutant T₇ promoters of varied strength a combinatorial method was developed for transcriptional balancing of the violacein pathway. Violacein biosynthesis involves a complex five-gene pathway that is an excellent model for exploratory metabolic engineering efforts into pathway regulation and control due to many colorful intermediates and side products allowing for easy analysis and strain comparison.

Chapter Eight - Optimizing Metabolic Pathways for the Improved Production of Natural Products

Journal Article Jones, J. Andrew ; Koffas, Mattheos A. G. - Methods in Enzymology

Metabolic engineering strives to develop microbial strains that are capable of high-titer production of a variety of industrially significant pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, commodity, and high-value compounds. Despite extensive success with many proof-of-concept systems there is still the need for optimization to achieve industrially relevant titers, yields, and productivities. Furthermore, the field of metabolic pathway optimization and balancing has formed to address this need using a scientific and systematic approach. In this chapter, we aim to outline various pathway optimization and system balancing strategies while giving insights and tips into the systems and procedures that have demonstrated recent success in the peer-reviewedmore » literature.« less

Synthetic methylotrophy: engineering the production of biofuels and chemicals based on the biology of aerobic methanol utilization

Journal Article Whitaker, William B. ; Sandoval, Nicholas R. ; Bennett, Robert K. ; ... - Current Opinion in Biotechnology

Synthetic methylotrophy is the development of non-native methylotrophs that can utilize methane and methanol as sole carbon and energy sources or as co-substrates with carbohydrates to produce metabolites as biofuels and chemicals. Here, the availability of methane (from natural gas) and its oxidation product, methanol, has been increasing, while prices have been decreasing, thus rendering them as attractive fermentation substrates. As they are more reduced than most carbohydrates, methane and methanol, as co-substrates, can enhance the yields of biologically produced metabolites. Here we discuss synthetic biology and metabolic engineering strategies based on the native biology of aerobic methylotrophs for developingmore »« less

Advances in S. cerevisiae Engineering for Xylose Fermentation and Biofuel Production: Balancing Growth, Metabolism, and Defense

Journal Article Wagner, Ellen R. ; Gasch, Audrey P. - Journal of Fungi

Genetically engineering microorganisms to produce chemicals has changed the industrialized world. The budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae is frequently used in industry due to its genetic tractability and unique metabolic capabilities. S. cerevisiae has been engineered to produce novel compounds from diverse sugars found in lignocellulosic biomass, including pentose sugars, like xylose, not recognized by the organism. Engineering high flux toward novel compounds has proved to be more challenging than anticipated since simply introducing pathway components is often not enough. Several studies show that the rewiring of upstream signaling is required to direct products toward pathways of interest, but doing somore »« less
