H. M. 2015; Olson et al. N. W.D. The structure, function, catalytic mechanism and regulation of the sodium-ion-translocating oxaloacetate decarboxylases were summarized in several recent reviews [126, 129–134] and are therefore not discussed here. Netzer   R, Krause   M, Rittmann   D  et al. PEP has the highest-energy phosphate bond of all known natural organo-phosphates (Bowman et al. In plants, PEPC functionality is also controlled via phosphorylation, by PEPC protein kinase, and via mono-ubiquitination (Aldous et al. Eisaki   N, Tatsumi   H, Murakami   S  et al. M. S. Donnelly cGlutamate production was induced by the addition of Tween 60 and determined after 24 h of cultivation in minimal medium glucose. (, Cazzulo D) The pyruvate dehydrogenase complex uses all of the following as cofactors: NAD+, lipoic acid, pyridoxal phosphate (PLP), and FAD. Oxaloacetate is part of the tricarboxylic acid cycle, where it accepts acetyl-CoA or is reduced to malate. Since PEP is also required for PTS-based glucose uptake and for anaplerosis via PEP carboxylase (Fig. Phylogenetically, PKs can be clustered in two distinct groups, K+-dependent (cluster I) and K+-independent (cluster II) enzymes. The sugar phosphorylation increases the polarity of the sugar, decreasing the rate at which it can leak out of the cell again (Bar-Even et al. J.J. Q. R.A. The phosphoproteome of C. glutamicum has recently been investigated and pyruvate carboxylase and pyruvate kinase were identified as phospho-proteins [286]. Shirahashi   K, Hayakawa   S, Sugiyama   T. Solomons   JTG, Johnsen   U, Schönheit   P  et al. J.T. Escherichia coli and Salmonella typhimurium: Celluar and Molecular Biology. Most of what we know about PPdK comes from studies with plants and parasitic protists, but PPdKs are also present in archaea and in bacteria, from which they are in fact believed to originate (Slamovits and Keeling 2006). (, Izui A defined malE mutant grew as well as the parental strain on either glucose or acetate minimal medium, however, showed lower growth rates on lactate medium [117]. (, Silverstein a(+) positive effector; (−) negative effector. Two pathways exist for de novo lysine biosynthesis: the diaminopimelate (DAP) pathway and α–aminoadipate (AAA) pathway. The PTS is almost exclusively present in bacteria, and only recently it has been identified and characterized in archaea (Pickl, Johnsen and Schonheit 2012; Cai et al. M. However, for E. coli it was shown that at physiological concentrations, the combination of these effectors turned fructose 1,6-bisphosphate into an ultrasensitive allosteric regulator for PEPC. Yoshinaga Rafalski A. Pyruvate carboxylase consumes one ATP molecule, uses as a cofactor biotin (vitamin B7) and uses a CO2 molecule as a source of carbon. 2004; Patel, Kraszewski and Mukhopadhyay 2004). Furthermore, MDH is involved in the fermentation pathway to succinic acid via the reductive branch of the TCA-cycle (Thakker et al. 2017). A. Eikmanns In contrast, pyruvate carboxylase-deficient C. glutamicum producer strains showed significantly lower amino acid formation. The PEP carboxylase genes (ppc) from several bacteria and also from a variety of plants have been cloned and the deduced proteins comparatively characterized (reviewed in [53, 54]). Metab. 2 TABLE I Effect of reaction components and inhibitors on exchange of pyruvate-14C with oxaloacetate The incubation system contained, in 0.5 ml, 100 pmoles of Tris- sulfate, pH 7.8; 1.2 pmoles of 2-W-pyruvate (7.1 X 10” c.p.m. K. 2004). B. M.H.J. The signal is transduced via phosphorylation of non-PTS proteins by PTS components or via protein-protein interactions. Raymond answered Oct 25, 2019 by KumariSurbhi (97.0k points) selected Oct 25, 2019 by Shivam01 . Lastly, it should be realized that the traditional metabolic pathways are biochemical models that do not necessarily represent the entire intracellular reality. The expression of the PEP carboxykinase gene is controlled in different ways in different microorganisms. K. J.M. Wiegrabe M.J. Saunders, London, UK. Ito The α subunit (about 65 kDa) carries the biotin moiety and contains the catalytically active sites for the reaction, the β subunit (about 55 kDa) is responsible for the conformational stability in the core of the enzyme [79]. H. M. L. H.V. 2015; Etemad et al. G. K. E. Published by Oxford University Press on behalf of FEMS. T.M. Rossi The two characterized archaeal MEs from Sulfolobus solfataricus and T. kodakarensis, however, are both dimeric (Bartolucci et al. nucleotide-, substrate- and metal-binding residues [81, 85, 86]. Although essential, the carbon flux through the PEP–pyruvate–oxaloacetate node is flexible, and hence it is reasonable that the cells tightly adjust these fluxes to the energetic and anabolic demands under a given condition. NAD+ or NADP+ dependency does not appear to correlate very strongly with the phylogeny (Tronconi, Andreo and Drincovich 2018), explained from the fact that only minor amino acid changes are needed to change the specificity (Hsieh, Chen and Hung 2011). H. The human cytosolic PEPCK—considered a gluconeogenic or cataplerotic enzyme (Yang, Kalhan and Hanson 2009)—was recently shown to be converted into an anaplerotic enzyme upon p300-dependent acetylation at high-glucose conditions (Latorre-Muro et al. However, the thermodynamics certainly do not restrict it from working in the glycolytic direction. Hence, MaeA appears to participate in a more specialized biological process that is primarily relevant in the presence of malate. Although the enzyme has been thoroughly characterized, the C. glutamicum gene encoding oxaloacetate decarboxylase has not been identified so far. Using stable isotopes and mass spectrometry, Klapa et al. The oxidative decarboxylation of pyruvate for fueling the TCA cycle with acetyl-CoA in C. glutamicum has been generally attributed to the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex. D. H. In contrast to many other organisms, C. glutamicum possesses both a PEP carboxylase and a pyruvate carboxylase as anaplerotic enzymes [29, 30, 77, 234] and both are present during growth and amino acid production on glucose [80, 249–251]. Görisch   H, Jeoung   J-H, Rückert   A  et al. (, Geerse T. M. The mechanism is identical to that of L-lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), which shares an evolutionary origin with MDHs. M. Both ubiquinone and menaquinone can function as electron acceptor, however, many bacteria only possess menaquinone, which has a much lower redox potential (−74 mV versus + 113 mV) and therefore potentially allows the (reverse) reduction of oxaloacetate (Kather et al. && {\rm{Malate}} + {\rm{NAD}}{{\rm{P}}^ {+} } \leftrightarrow {\rm{Pyruvate}} + {\rm{C}}{{\rm{O}}_2} + {\rm{NADPH}} \\ The reaction proceeds in two steps. 2. Values for the Gibbs free energy of the reaction (ΔrG) are obtained from eQuilibrator (Flamholz et al. Moreover, the physiological significance of the known side activities of some of the enzymes is not clear and the molecular mechanisms of transcriptional and posttranscriptional regulation that governs expression of the genes for the enzymes are not yet fully elucidated. M. The PC gene provides instructions for making an enzyme called pyruvate carboxylase. Katsoulidis Sabatti S. The complex allosteric regulation, often varying between paralogs, illustrates the different roles that can be played by ME and PPO-node enzymes in general. Mizoguchi Under anaerobic conditions, alternative enzymes for acetyl-CoA formation from pyruvate are pyruvate-formate lyase (in enterobacteria) and pyruvate-ferredoxin oxidoreductase (in saccharolytic clostridia) [12] (not shown in Fig. 123, 1982. (, Chulavatnatol N. J.C. Malic enzymes (ME) catalyze the reversible decarboxylation reaction from malate to pyruvate via the reduction of NADP+ or NAD+, proceeding in three steps: First, the dehydrogenation of malate to oxaloacetate, followed by the decarboxylation where enolpyruvate is formed, which is converted to pyruvate via the tautomerization reaction. 41, pp. 2016). M.F. 2013). Archaeal PEPCKs are mostly GTP-dependent, and bacterial and other eukaryotic PEPCKs can be both ATP- and GTP-dependent (Aich and Delbaere 2007). Instead, the CO2 is released at the membrane bound β-subunit in a reaction that consumes a periplasmic proton and is coupled to the translocation of up to two Na+ ions from the cytoplasm to the periplasm (Dimroth, Jockel and Schmid 2001; Lietzan and St. Maurice 2014). C. (, Lepiniec Pyruvate carboxylase (PC) catalyzes carboxylation of pyruvate to oxaloacetate. In some C4 plants, PEPCK is used for the localized enrichment of CO2 in the bundle-sheath cells. Izui Boscolo R. Gordon © 2004 Federation of European Microbiological Societies. [11]). R. Beyond descriptive transcriptome analyses, recent efforts attempt to elucidate metabolism-wide regulation processes that underlie the switch from glucose to acetate as the sole carbon source [188]. (, Petersen Bacterial MDHs are predominantly NAD+-dependent; archaeal MDHs can be either NAD+- or NADP+-dependent, or have equal affinities for both (Takahashi-Íñiguez et al. 3). However, no crystal structure is available at the moment, and details about the precise reaction mechanism are lacking. Vieille Martin Eikmanns Wandrey The yellow circles represent phosphate (groups). Bovee Gordon Suye   S-I, Okada   Y, Funada   A  et al. Peiru Kremer (, Kao E. T. M. However, since in most bacteria these two enzymes are responsible for decarboxylation rather than for carboxylation reactions, they are treated in this section, together with the irreversible oxaloacetate decarboxylase (reaction (6)). Ramseier U. The relevant regulatory characteristics of the enzymes are summarized in Table 4. Tauch Bowman   E, McQueney   M, Barry   RJ  et al. W. 1993. Katsuki 2012), and it has been shown to be involved in the formation of pyruvate from PEP via the so-called ‘malate shunt’. U. Zeczycki   TN, Maurice   MS, Attwood   PV. S. Carboxylating activity of these three enzymes and thus a participation in anaplerosis during growth of C. glutamicum on glucose has been excluded [80]. Some of the genes at the node are known targets of global transcriptional regulators, e.g. Start studying Chem 132 Chapter 13 Quiz. 1994), whereas K+-independent PKs are generally allosterically regulated by AMP and mono-phosphorylated sugars, such as glucose-6-phosphate and ribose-5-phosphate (Yamada and Carlsson 1975; Malcovati and Valentini 1982; Guerrero-Mendiola et al. H.-P. N.D. Striegel (, Knichel, W., Radler, F. d-Malic enzyme of Pseudomonas fluorescens. II. T. Salas S. Pyruvate phosphate dikinase is normally written as pyruvate, phosphate dikinase, using a comma. M.J. Most of the characterized malic enzymes are allosterically controlled, i.e. T. Iwatani Viret 2006), PPdK has been demonstrated to function as a glycolytic enzyme, which is likely also its original function. dThe Ki of aspartate may increase up to 6 mM in the presence of 2.5 mM fructose-1,6-P [165]. A.M. \end{eqnarray*}$$, $$\begin{eqnarray*} Hecker Farwick Further investigations showed that pyruvate carboxylase represents a biotin-containing enzyme of about 125 kDa and that its synthesis in C. glutamicum is about threefold upregulated by lactate as the carbon source in the growth medium [80, 250]. (, Dauner M.J. Guerrero-Hernandez A (ed. Shiraishi The conversion of PEP to pyruvate—typically considered the last step of the glycolysis—is also the step where the glycolytic energy is harvested, in the form of ATP (equivalents). Different from the monomeric E. coli enzyme, the deduced molecular mass of 43.5 kDa and the apparent native molecular mass above 100 kDa [67] suggest a di- or tetrameric structure of PEP carboxykinase in B. subtilis. Since in vivo reaction rates are per se non-measurable quantities, they must be inferred from physiological and 13C-labelling data by methods of metabolic flux analysis [191, 192]. Jurica   MS, Mesecar   A, Heath   PJ  et al. A catabolic function of the C4-decarboxylation reaction by the PEP carboxykinase has recently been proposed for E. coli when growing slowly under glucose hunger in a continuous culture [11]. Castillo 2013), and the PKs from the parasite Cryptosporidium parvum and other hyperthermophilic archaea have no known effectors at all (Denton et al. B.J. R. Sinskey C.M. A prominent example is catabolite repression, which ensures absence of C4-decarboxylating enzymes at glucose excess and presence during growth on gluconeogenic substrates [5–8]. (, Krampitz (, Bosma The enzyme is present in a variety of animals, plants, yeasts and microorganisms and depending on the nucleotide specificity, these enzymes can be divided into two classes [1]. Distribution of metabolic fluxes at the glycolysis-Krebs cycle interface in wild-type E. coli (top entry in the boxes) and a knockout mutant of both pyruvate kinase isoenzymes (bottom entry).

It furthers the University's objective of excellence in research, scholarship, and education by publishing worldwide, This PDF is available to Subscribers Only. A.J. Instead, ATP was found to act as an potent competitive inhibitor with AMP (Tjaden et al. R.S. Using a more comprehensive network model, in vivo glyoxlate shunt activity was indeed shown in slow-growing wild-type E. coli in glucose-limited chemostat cultures akin to those mentioned above, while it was inactive in rapidly growing batch or chemostat cultures [11]. H.-P. 7. in yeasts and in Zymomonas mobilis), lactate dehydrogenase (e.g. Szyperski C. Hochman We will discuss the organization and expression of genes, in vitro and in vivo enzyme activities, allosteric regulation, and the relevance of this central metabolic node for optimal growth and primary metabolite production under different conditions. For these reasons, we confine our discussion on the C3-carboxylating enzymes on the PEP and pyruvate carboxylases and deal with the general aspects of PEP carboxykinase and malic enzyme in the following section. Hatch In the following section, the present state of knowledge on activity and regulation of the C3-carboxylating (anaplerotic) and the C4-decarboxylating enzymes at the PEP–pyruvate–oxaloacetate node of C. glutamicum and on expression and regulation of the respective genes are discussed.

All these results unequivocally identified the pyruvate carboxylase reaction as a major bottleneck for amino acid production. Schiel This lack of understanding may be illustrated by the apparently insufficient expression level of several genes of the PEP–pyruvate–oxaloacetate node for optimal unrestricted growth on glucose [162, 163] or on gluconeogenic substrates such as pyruvate and succinate [145]. (, Hou Eikmanns, manuscript submitted). This in vivo activity was mostly seen under strict glucose limitation in slow-growing chemostat cultures when catabolite repression of the shunt is expected to be less stringent or absent [198]. (, Marx M. M.T. The coenzyme required for conversion of pyruvate to oxaloacetate is (A) FAD (B) NAD (C) TPP (D) Biotin. However, from comparative analyses with isogenic strains under different conditions [274, 275] and from flux genealogy of lysine-producing C. glutamicum strains [276], it became evident that an increased carbon flux into the lysine biosynthetic pathway is always accompanied both by an increase in anaplerosis and a decrease in the flux towards the TCA cycle via acetyl-CoA. Fujita York C. T. This is the point at which not only pyruvate, but also lactate and alanine, enter the gluconeogenic pathway. B.T. M. C. 1997). (, Kromer Kramer The molecular mass of the subunits (32 kDa) and of the native enzyme (118 kDa) suggested an α4 subunit structure. R. Sahm It is organized in a glycolytic gene cluster together with the genes encoding glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, 3-phosphoglycerate kinase and triosephosphate isomerase [259], and is transcribed in an operon together with the latter two genes [260] The construction and comparative analysis of defined PEP carboxylase-negative mutants of C. glutamicum revealed that the enzyme is dispensable for growth and lysine production [252, 255]. (, Goss V. While sugar catabolism proceeds mainly via oxidative or non-oxidative decarboxylation of pyruvate to acetyl-CoA, anaplerosis and the initial steps of gluconeogenesis are accomplished by C3- (PEP- and/or pyruvate-) carboxylation and C4- (oxaloacetate- and/or malate-) decarboxylation, respectively. 2016). Data are given as percentage of the molar glucose uptake rate. Simultaneous operation of PEP carboxykinase, pyruvate kinase and pyruvate carboxylase thus constitutes an ATP-dissipating futile cycle (Fig. Altman S. 1–31, Osteras && {\rm{Oxaloacetate}} + {\rm{P}}{{\rm{P}}_{\rm{i}}} \leftrightarrow {\rm{Phosphoenolpyruvate}} + {{\rm{P}}_{\rm{i}}} + {\rm{C}}{{\rm{O}}_2} \\ Sinskey Microbiol.

MQOs can be split in two clear phylogenetic groups, with the second—minor—group being restricted mainly to Apicomplexa, Archaea and ϵ-proteobacteria (Mogi et al. Bayles Eggeling (, Katsuki Presence of an enzyme is based on data from the UniProt database, with vertical stripes indicating presence of a corresponding enzyme commission (EC) number in the given organism, and horizontal stripes the presence of corresponding InterPro accession numbers; fully black indicates the presence of both. B. Obviously, no single organism maintains each of these eleven enzymes; instead, different organisms possess different subsets in their PPO-node, which results in a remarkable degree of variation, despite connecting such deeply conserved metabolic pathways as the glycolysis and the tricarboxylic acid cycle. C. The latter enzyme has so far been reported to be present only in propionic acid bacteria [2, 23] and in Acetobacterium woodii[24], and very little is known about it. R. G. Eur. M. Members of the gammaproteobacteria, including Escherichia coli, Yersinia enterocolitica and Salmonella typhimurium, are unique in that they possess isozymes of both the K+-dependent and the K+-independent clusters (Guerrero-Mendiola et al.

Izui The former is present in eukaryotes and bacteria and is only active as a tetramer (α4). Zhao 2015). However, in Lactococcus lactis and Enterococcus faecalis malic enzymes have been reported that have lost their ability to decarboxylate malate to pyruvate, and as such can be seen as dedicated OADs (Sender et al. Goergen R. E) The reaction is so important to energy production that pyruvate dehydrogenase operates at full speed under all conditions. Attwood H. H. These two clusters do not correlate with the three domains of life (Schramm et al. Wood E. K. Stephanopoulos Philippe M. T. Eggeling At the junction between the glycolysis and the tricarboxylic acid cycle—as well as various other metabolic pathways—lies the phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP)-pyruvate-oxaloacetate node (PPO-node).
