Escherichia coli strain NZN111 is a promising candidate for the fermentative production of succinate. However, because lactate dehydrogenase and pyruvate formate lyase were inactivated in NZN111, this strain had an unbalanced NADH/NAD+ ratio and could not use glucose under anaerobic conditions. In this study, a recombinant strain E. coli NZN111/pTrc99a-pncB was constructed to overexpress the nicotinic acid phosphoribosyl transferase gene (pncB). Under anaerobic conditions with the addition of 0.5 mmol/L nicotinic acid and 0.3 mmol/L isopropyl beta-D-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG), the specific nicotinic acid phosphoribosyl transferase (NAPRTase, EC 2.4.2.11) activity in the recombinant strain was 11-fold higher than that in E. coli NZN111, the concentration of NAD(H) was increased by 3.85-fold, especially the concentration of NAD+ was increased by 5.17-fold and NADH/NAD+ was decreased from 0.640 to 0.125. The recombinant strain regained the capability of growth and glucose utilization under anaerobic conditions.
大肠杆菌菌株NZN111是发酵生产琥珀酸的一个有潜力的候选菌株。然而,由于NZN111中的乳酸脱氢酶和丙酮酸甲酸裂解酶被灭活,该菌株的NADH/NAD⁺比例失衡,在厌氧条件下无法利用葡萄糖。在本研究中,构建了重组菌株大肠杆菌NZN111/pTrc99a-pncB以过量表达烟酸磷酸核糖基转移酶基因(pncB)。在添加0.5 mmol/L烟酸和0.3 mmol/L异丙基-β-D-硫代半乳糖苷(IPTG)的厌氧条件下,重组菌株中特异性烟酸磷酸核糖基转移酶(NAPRTase,EC 2.4.2.11)的活性比大肠杆菌NZN111高11倍,NAD(H)的浓度增加了3.85倍,尤其是NAD⁺的浓度增加了5.17倍,NADH/NAD⁺从0.640降至0.125。该重组菌株在厌氧条件下恢复了生长和利用葡萄糖的能力。
