Due to low carboxylase activity, CO biotransformation is challenging to achieve using natural CO fixation pathways. Liu et al. have improved the activity of propionyl-CoA carboxylase (PCC) 94-fold, enabling the efficient synthesis of succinate from acetyl-CoA and paving the way for CO assimilation via the 3-hydroxypropionate (3-HP) bicycle or 3-hydroxypropionate/4-hydroxybutyrate (3-HP/4-HB) cycle.
由于羧化酶活性较低,利用天然的一氧化碳固定途径实现一氧化碳生物转化具有挑战性。刘等人将丙酰辅酶A羧化酶(PCC)的活性提高了94倍,实现了从乙酰辅酶A高效合成琥珀酸,为通过3-羟基丙酸(3-HP)循环或3-羟基丙酸/4-羟基丁酸(3-HP/4-HB)循环进行一氧化碳同化铺平了道路。
