Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Corynebacterium glutamicum is widely used for industrial production of various amino acids and vitamins, and there is growing interest to engineering this bacterium for more commercial bioproducts such as γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA). In this study, a GABA specific transporter (GabP(Cg)) encoded by ncgl0464 was identified and characterized. GabP(Cg) plays a major role for GABA uptake and is essential to C. glutamicum growing on GABA. GABA uptake by GabP(Cg) was weakly competed by L-Asn and L-Gln and stimulated by sodium ion (Na(+)). The K(m) and V(max) values were determined to be 41.1 ± 4.5 μM and 36.8 ± 2.6 nmol min(-1)(mg DW)(-1), respectively, at pH of 6.5; and 34.2 ± 1.1 μM and 67.3 ± 1.0 nmol min(-1)(mg DW)(-1), respectively, at pH of 7.5. GabP(Cg) has 29% amino acid sequence identity to previously and functionally identified aromatic amino acid transporter (TyrP) of E. coli, but low identities to the currently known GABA transporters (17% and 15% to GabP(EC) and GabP(Bs), respectively). The GabP(Cg)-deleted mutant RES167Δncgl0464/pGXKZ29 showed 12.5% higher productivity of GABA compared to RES167/pGXKZ29. It is concluded that GabP(Cg) represents a new type of GABA transporters and is potentially important for engineering GABA-producing C. glutamicum strains.
