In this case, glutathione accumulates intracellularly, which hinders high production. Here, we engineered <em>Escherichia coli</em> for the efficient production of glutathione. A total of 4.3 g/L glutathione was produced by overexpressing <em>gshA</em> and <em>gshB</em>, which encode cysteine glutamate ligase and glutathione synthetase, respectively, and most of the glutathione was excreted into the culture medium. Further improvements were achieved by inhibiting degradation (Δ<em>ggt</em> and Δ<em>pepT</em>); deleting <em>gor</em> (Δ<em>gor</em>), which encodes glutathione oxide reductase; attenuating glutathione uptake (Δ<em>yliABCD</em>); and enhancing cysteine production (P<sub><em>ompF</em></sub><em>-cysE</em>). The engineered strain KG06 produced 19.6 g/L glutathione after 48 h of fed-batch fermentation with continuous addition of ammonium sulfate as the sulfur source. We also found that continuous feeding of glycine had a crucial role for effective glutathione production. The results of metabolic flux and metabolomic analyses suggested that the conversion of <em>O</em>-acetylserine to cysteine is the rate-limiting step in glutathione production by KG06. The use of sodium thiosulfate largely overcame this limitation, increasing the glutathione titer to 22.0 g/L, which is, to our knowledge, the highest titer reported to date in the literature. This study is the first report of glutathione fermentation without adding cysteine in <em>E. coli</em>.

While bio-based syntheses of HMB have been developed, they are dependent on biotransformation of its direct precursors which are generally costly. Therefore, in this work, we developed a synthetic <em>de novo</em> HMB biosynthetic pathway that enables HMB production from renewable resources. This novel HMB biosynthesis employs heterologous enzymes from mevalonate pathway and myxobacterial iso-fatty acid pathway for converting acetyl-CoA to HMB-CoA. Subsequently, HMB-CoA is hydrolyzed by a thioesterase to yield HMB. Upon expression of this pathway, our initial <em>Escherichia coli</em> strain produced 660 mg/L of HMB from glucose in 48 hours. Through optimization of coenzyme A removal from HMB-CoA and genetic operon structure, our final strain achieved HMB production titer of 17.7 g/L in glucose minimal media using a bench-top bioreactor. This engineered strain was further demonstrated to produce HMB from other renewable carbon sources such as xylose, glycerol, and acetate. The results from this work provided a flexible and environmentally benign method for producing HMB.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":18483,"journal":{"name":"Metabolic engineering","volume":"84 ","pages":"Pages 48-58"},"PeriodicalIF":8.4,"publicationDate":"2024-05-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141175543","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
