AbstractBackgroundCaffeic acid is industrially recognized for its antioxidant activity and therefore its potential to be used as an anti-inflammatory, anticancer, antiviral, antidiabetic and antidepressive agent. It is traditionally isolated from lignified plant material under energy-intensive and harsh chemical extraction conditions. However, over the last decade bottom-up biosynthesis approaches in microbial cell factories have been established, that have the potential to allow for a more tailored and sustainable production. One of these approaches has been implemented in Escherichia coli and only requires a two-step conversion of supplemented L-tyrosine by the actions of a tyrosine ammonia lyase and a bacterial Cytochrome P450 monooxygenase. Although the feeding of intermediates demonstrated the great potential of this combination of heterologous enzymes compared to others, no de novo synthesis of caffeic acid from glucose has been achieved utilizing the bacterial Cytochrome P450 thus far.ResultsThe herein described work aimed at improving the efficiency of this two-step conversion in order to establish de novo caffeic acid formation from glucose. We implemented alternative tyrosine ammonia lyases that were reported to display superior substrate binding affinity and selectivity, and increased the efficiency of the Cytochrome P450 by altering the electron-donating redox system. With this strategy we were able to achieve final titers of more than 300 μM or 47 mg/L caffeic acid over 96 h in an otherwise wild type E. coli MG1655(DE3) strain with glucose as the only carbon source. We observed that the choice and gene dose of the redox system strongly influenced the Cytochrome P450 catalysis. In addition, we were successful in applying a tethering strategy that rendered even an initially unproductive Cytochrome P450/ redox system combination productive.ConclusionsThe caffeic acid titer achieved in this study is about 25% higher than titers reported for other heterologous caffeic acid pathways in wildtype E. coli without L-tyrosine supplementation. The tethering strategy applied to the Cytochrome P450 appears to be particularly useful for non-natural Cytochrome P450/redox partner combinations and could be useful for other recombinant pathways utilizing bacterial Cytochromes P450.

ABSTRACT The saccharomicins A and B, produced by the actinomycete Saccharothrix espanaensis, are oligosaccharide antibiotics. They consist of 17 monosaccharide units and the unique aglycon N-(m,p-dihydroxycinnamoyl)taurine. To investigate candidate genes responsible for the formation of trans-m,p-dihydroxycinnamic acid (caffeic acid) as part of the saccharomicin aglycon, gene expression experiments were carried out in Streptomyces fradiae XKS. It is shown that the biosynthetic pathway for trans-caffeic acid proceeds from l-tyrosine via trans-p-coumaric acid directly to trans-caffeic acid, since heterologous expression of sam8, encoding a tyrosine ammonia-lyase, led to the production of trans-p-hydroxycinnamic acid (coumaric acid), and coexpression of sam8 and sam5, the latter encoding a 4-coumarate 3-hydroxylase, led to the production of trans-m,p-dihydroxycinnamic acid. This is not in accordance with the general phenylpropanoid pathway in plants, where trans-p-coumaric acid is first activated before the 3-hydroxylation of its ring takes place.

AbstractHydroxycinnamic acids (HCs) are natural compounds that form conjugates with diverse compounds in nature. Ethyl caffeate (EC) is a conjugate of caffeic acid (an HC) and ethanol. It has been found in several plants, including Prunus yedoensis, Polygonum amplexicaule, and Ligularia fischeri. Although it exhibits anticancer, anti-inflammatory, and antifibrotic activities, its biosynthetic pathway in plants still remains unknown. This study aimed to design an EC synthesis pathway and clone genes relevant to the same. Genes involved in the caffeic acid synthesis pathway (tyrosine ammonia-lyase (TAL) and p-coumaric acid hydroxylase (HpaBC)) were introduced into Escherichia coli along with 4-coumaroyl CoA ligase (4CL) and acyltransferases (AtCAT) cloned from Arabidopsis thaliana. In presence of ethanol, E. coli harboring the above genes successfully synthesized EC. Providing more tyrosine through the overexpression of shikimate-pathway gene-module construct and using E. coli mutant enhanced EC yield; approximately 116.7 mg/L EC could be synthesized in the process. Synthesis of four more alkyl caffeates was confirmed in this study; these might potentially possess novel biological properties, which would require further investigation.

ABSTRACT CYP105D1, a cytochrome P450 from Streptomyces griseus, was appended at its amino terminus to the secretory signal of Escherichia coli alkaline phosphatase and placed under the transcriptional control of the nativephoA promoter. Heterologous expression in E. coli phosphate-limited medium resulted in abundant synthesis of recombinant CYP105D1 that was translocated across the bacterial inner membrane and processed to yield authentic, heme-incorporated P450 within the periplasmic space. Cell extract and whole-cell activity studies showed that the periplasmically located CYP105D1 competently catalyzed NADH-dependent oxidation of the xenobiotic compounds benzo[a]pyrene and erythromycin, further revealing the presence in the E. coli periplasm of endogenous functional redox partners. This system offers substantial advantages for the application of P450 enzymes to whole-cell biotransformation strategies, where the ability of cells to take up substrates or discard products may be limited.

ABSTRACT A new cytochrome P450 monooxygenase, FcpC, from Streptomyces virginiae IBL-14 has been identified. This enzyme is found to be responsible for the bioconversion of a pyrano-spiro steroid (diosgenone) to a rare nuatigenin-type spiro steroid (isonuatigenone), which is a novel C-25-hydroxylated diosgenone derivative. A whole-cell P450 system was developed for the production of isonuatigenone via the expression of the complete three-component electron transfer chain in an Escherichia coli strain.
