AbstractPoly gamma glutamic acid (γ-PGA) is an anionic polyamide with numerous applications. Proline metabolism influences the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), and is involved in a wide range of cellular processes. However, the relation between proline metabolism and γ-PGA synthesis has not yet been analyzed. In this study, our results indicated that the deletion of Δ1-pyrroline-5-carboxylate dehydrogenase encoded gene ycgN resulted in 85.22% higher yield of γ-PGA in B. licheniformis WX-02. But the deletion of proline dehydrogenase encoded gene ycgM had no effect on γ-PGA synthesis. Meanwhile, a 2.92-fold higher level of P5C was detected in ycgN deficient strain WXΔycgN, while the P5C levels in WXΔycgM and double mutant strain WXΔycgMN remained the same, compared to WX-02. The ROS level of WXΔycgN was 1.18-fold higher than that of WX-02, and the addition of n-acetylcysteine (antioxidant) into medium could decrease its ROS level, further reduced the γ-PGA yield. Our results showed that proline catabolism played an important role in maintaining ROS homeostasis, and the deletion of ycgN caused P5C accumulation, which induced a transient ROS signal to promote γ-PGA synthesis in B. licheniformis.Importanceγ-PGA is an anionic polyamide with various applications in biomedical and industrial fields. Proline metabolism influences the intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) and is involved in a wide range of cellular processes. Here, we report the effects of proline metabolism on γ-PGA synthesis. Our results indicated that deletion of ycgN promoted the synthesis of γ-PGA by increasing the intracellular levels of Δ1-pyrroline-5-carboxylate to generate a transient ROS signal in B. licheniformis WX-02. This study provides the valuable information that enhanced synthesis of γ-PGA by knocking out of ycgN.

Endothelial dysfunction in the setting of cardiovascular risk factors, such as hypercholesterolaemia, hypertension, diabetes mellitus and chronic smoking, as well as in the setting of heart failure, has been shown to be at least partly dependent on the production of reactive oxygen species in endothelial and/or smooth muscle cells and the adventitia, and the subsequent decrease in vascular bioavailability of NO. Superoxide-producing enzymes involved in increased oxidative stress within vascular tissue include NAD(P)H-oxidase, xanthine oxidase and endothelial nitric oxide synthase in an uncoupled state. Recent studies indicate that endothelial dysfunction of peripheral and coronary resistance and conductance vessels represents a strong and independent risk factor for future cardiovascular events. Ways to reduce endothelial dysfunction include risk-factor modification and treatment with substances that have been shown to reduce oxidative stress and, simultaneously, to stimulate endothelial NO production, such as inhibitors of angiotensin-converting enzyme or the statins. In contrast, in conditions where increased production of reactive oxygen species, such as superoxide, in vascular tissue is established, treatment with NO, e.g. via administration of nitroglycerin, results in a rapid development of endothelial dysfunction, which may worsen the prognosis in patients with established coronary artery disease.
