  • Production of β-carotene by recombinant Escherichia coli with engineered whole mevalonate pathway in batch and fed-batch cultures
  • 2009
  • Ingår i: Biotechnology and Bioprocess Engineering. - : Springer Science and Business Media LLC. - 1226-8372 .- 1976-3816. ; 14:5, s. 559-564

    • Recombinant Escherichia coli engineered to contain the whole mevalonate pathway and foreign genes for β-carotene biosynthesis, was utilized for production of β-carotene in bioreactor cultures. Optimum culture conditions were established in batch and pH-stat fed-batch cultures to determine the optimal feeding strategy thereby improving production yield. The specific growth rate and volumetric productivity in batch cultures at 37°C were 1.7-fold and 2-fold higher, respectively, than those at 28°C. Glycerol was superior to glucose as a carbon source. Maximum β-carotene production (titer of 663 mg/L and overall volumetric productivity of 24.6 mg/L × h) resulted from the simultaneous addition of 500 g/L glycerol and 50 g/L yeast extract in pH-stat fed-batch culture.

  • Anti-wrinkle activity of beta-carotene extracted & purified from recombinant Escherichia coli
  • 2008
  • Ingår i: KSBB Journal. - 1225-7117 .- 2288-8268. ; 23:6, s. 513-518
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • This paper described the extraction/purification of β-carotene from recombinant E.coli and evaluation of anti-wrinkle activity of purified β-carotene. No significant differences in extraction yields were observed when hexane or isobutyl acetate was used. However, extraction from wet-cell cake resulted in 2-fold higher amount of β-carotene than that from dry cells. Disruption of 5 g-wet cells by ultrasonic homogenizer, acetone dehydration, extraction with isobutyl acetate resulted in 36 mg of β-carotene corresponding to 61.2% of recovery. The formation and separation of ββ-carotene crystal improved the purity. 633 mg of β-carotene crystal with 93% purity was obtained from 223 g/L of wet-cell cake harvested from 2.5-L fed-batch culture broth. The cultures of normal human primary fibroblast were performed to investigate the effect of β-carotene on cytotoxicity as MTT assay and anti-wrinkle activity as collagen synthesis assays. 1.7μM of β-carotene was found to be optimal concentration at which 1.4-fold higher amount of collagen was synthesized than that in absence of β-carotene. This indicates that highly purified β-carotene can be obtained from recombinant E.coli by applying simple method with less toxic solvent and can be used in functional cosmetics as anti-wrinkle agent.

  • Proteolytic cascade for the activation of the insect toll pathway induced by the fungal cell wall component
  • 2009
  • Ingår i: Journal of Biological Chemistry. - 0021-9258 .- 1083-351X. ; 284:29, s. 19474-19481
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • The insect Toll signaling pathway is activated upon recognition of Gram-positive bacteria and fungi, resulting in the expression of antimicrobial peptides via NF-kappaB-like transcription factor. This activation is mediated by a serine protease cascade leading to the processing of Spätzle, which generates the functional ligand of the Toll receptor. Recently, we identified three serine proteases mediating Toll pathway activation induced by lysine-type peptidoglycan of Gram-positive bacteria. However, the identities of the downstream serine protease components of Gram-negative-binding protein 3 (GNBP3), a receptor for a major cell wall component beta-1,3-glucan of fungi, and their order of activation have not been characterized yet. Here, we identified three serine proteases that are required for Toll activation by beta-1,3-glucan in the larvae of a large beetle, Tenebrio molitor. The first one is a modular serine protease functioning immediately downstream of GNBP3 that proteolytically activates the second one, a Spätzle-processing enzyme-activating enzyme that in turn activates the third serine protease, a Spätzle-processing enzyme. The active form of Spätzle-processing enzyme then cleaves Spätzle into the processed Spätzle as Toll ligand. In addition, we show that injection of beta-1,3-glucan into Tenebrio larvae induces production of two antimicrobial peptides, Tenecin 1 and Tenecin 2, which are also inducible by injection of the active form of Spätzle-processing enzyme-activating enzyme or processed Spätzle. These results demonstrate a three-step proteolytic cascade essential for the Toll pathway activation by fungal beta-1,3-glucan in Tenebrio larvae, which is shared with lysine-type peptidoglycan-induced Toll pathway activation.
