Fatty Acid Beta Oxidation

A possible contribution of collateral enzymes to the formation of key precursor metabolite, 3-hydroxybutyryl-CoA, in a recombinant Escherichia coli strain engineered for 1,3-butanediol biosynthesis from glucose through the inverted fatty acid beta-oxidation pathway has been evaluated. The inactivation of the 3-hydroxyadipyl-CoA dehydrogenase gene, paaH, did not prevent the 1,3-butanol biosynthesis during anaerobic glucose utilization by the strain with the intact essential gene fabG coding for 3-ketoacyl-ACP reductase, which can catalyze the conversion of acetoacetyl-CoA to (R)-3-hydroxybutyryl-CoA. The subsequent inactivation in the strain of fadB gene coding for (S)-stereospecific 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase of the fatty acid beta-oxidation led to the abolishment of the 1,3-butanediol synthesis. The respective diol was also not found among the products secreted by the strain possessing the intact fabG and paaH genes upon an individual deletion of fadB gene. It was established that the collateral enzymes did not participate in the formation of 3-hydroxybutyryl-CoA in the studied strains and the respective CoA-derivative was synthesized solely by the (S)-specific enzyme of the fatty acid beta-oxidation pathway. The obtained results indicate that the reversal of the fatty acid beta-oxidation pathway can ensure the enantioselective biosynthesis of the (S)-stereoisomer of 1,3-butanediol in engineered E. coli strains. 1,3-butanediol, fatty acid beta-oxidation, Escherichia coli, glucose, metabolic engineering, stereoisomer.

Fatty Acid Beta Oxidation

Naphthenic acids (NAs) are carboxylic acids with the formula (CnH2n+ZO2) and are the toxic, persistent constituents of oil sands process-affected waters (OSPW), produced during oil sands extraction. Currently, the proteins and mechanisms involved in NA biodegradation are unknown. Using LC-MS/MS shotgun proteomics, we identified proteins overexpressed during the growth of Pseudomonas fluorescens Pf5 on a model NA (4-n-butylphenyl)-4-butanoic acid (n-BPBA) and commercial NA mixture (Acros). By day 11, >95% of n-BPBA was degraded. With Acros, a 17% reduction in intensity occurred with 10-18 carbon compounds of the Z family -2 to -14 (major NA species in this mixture). A total of 554 proteins (n-BPBA) and 631 proteins (Acros) were overexpressed during growth on NAs; including several transporters (e.g. ABC transporters), suggesting a cellular protective response from NA toxicity. Several proteins associated with fatty acid, lipid and amino acid metabolism were also overexpressed; including acyl-CoA dehydrogenase and acyl-CoA thioesterase II, which catalyze part of the fatty acid beta-oxidation pathway. Indeed, multiple enzymes involved in the fatty acid oxidation pathway were upregulated. Given the presumed structural similarity between alkyl-carboxylic acid side chains and fatty acids, we postulate that P. fluorescens Pf-5 was using existing fatty acid catabolic pathways (among others) during NA degradation.
