We studied the physiological function of alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase complex (KGDH) on the metabolism of Torulopsis glabrata.
With manipulation of KGDH in Torulopsis glabrata, we screened a mutant strain T. glabrata kgd1:: kan, in which the kgd1 gene encoding the E1 subunit of KGDH was deleted.
Disruption of KGDH resulted in: (a) the enhancement of glyoxalate pathway as a complementarity for carbon metabolism in TCA cycle; (b) compared with that of the control, the ratio of NADH/NAD + and ATP/ADP decreased by 33.7% and 31.8%, respectively. But the specific activities of pyruvate dehydrogenase, isocitrate dehydrogenase and malate dehydrogenase increased by 58.1%, 33.3% and 32.5%, respectively; (c) the intracellular concentration of pyruvate was reduced by 49.9%, while the intracellular concentration of succinate, malate and alpha-ketoglutarate was higher 172.7%, 66.1% and 41.1% than the corresponding values of the control; (d) The content of pyruvate-family amino acid was 29.3% lower while the level of glutamate-family amino acid and aspartate-family amino acid were 34.7% and 26.8% higher than that of control.
Those results present here demonstrated that alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase complex plays essential role on the metabolism of yeast.
我们研究了α-酮戊二酸脱氢酶复合体(KGDH)对光滑球拟酵母代谢的生理功能。
通过对光滑球拟酵母中的KGDH进行操作,我们筛选出了一个突变菌株光滑球拟酵母kgd1::kan,其中编码KGDH E1亚基的kgd1基因被删除。
KGDH的破坏导致:(a)乙醛酸途径增强,作为三羧酸循环中碳代谢的补充;(b)与对照相比,NADH/NAD +和ATP/ADP的比率分别下降了33.7%和31.8%。但丙酮酸脱氢酶、异柠檬酸脱氢酶和苹果酸脱氢酶的比活性分别增加了58.1%、33.3%和32.5%;(c)细胞内丙酮酸浓度降低了49.9%,而琥珀酸、苹果酸和α-酮戊二酸的细胞内浓度分别比对照相应值高172.7%、66.1%和41.1%;(d)丙酮酸家族氨基酸的含量比对照低29.3%,而谷氨酸家族氨基酸和天冬氨酸家族氨基酸的水平分别比对照高34.7%和26.8%。
此处呈现的这些结果表明α-酮戊二酸脱氢酶复合体在酵母代谢中起重要作用。
