• Optimizing oral 3-hydroxybutyrate dosage using pharmacokinetic model to improve cognitive function and mood in healthy subjects

  Kentaro Nishioka, Takahiro Ishimoto, Mariko Sato, Ruki Yasuda, Yumi Nakamura, Hiroshi Watanabe, Toshihide Suzuki, Yudai Araragi, Yukio Kato, Ken-ichi Yoshida, Norihito Murayama

  Introduction The brain uses ketones, mainly 3-hydroxybutyrate (3-HB), as an alternative energy source. Therefore, oral intake of 3-HB may help maintain brain health. Previous studies indicated that achieving a maximum concentration (C_max) of 3-HB in plasma at 0.28 mM could initiate ketone metabolism in the brain; we hypothesized that attaining this C_max would improve brain health. Methods We aimed to demonstrate the efficacy of an optimized single oral dose of 3-HB on cognitive function and mood through two clinical studies: a pharmacokinetic study and an efficacy study. In the pharmacokinetic study, healthy subjects were ingested 2 and 4 g of 3-HB to construct a compartment model to predict the minimum oral dose of 3-HB needed to achieve the target C_max. In the efficacy study, a randomized, double-blinded, and placebo-controlled crossover trial, the effects of 3-HB at the predicted doses on cognitive function and mood in healthy subjects were assessed by a serial arithmetic test (SAT), the cognitrax, the profile of mood states 2nd edition (POMS2), and fatigue visual analog scale (VAS). Results In the pharmacokinetic study, a one-compartment model that includes saturable and non-saturable absorption pathways, constant biosynthesis, and the linear elimination of 3-HB after oral administration were constructed. The model principally reflected the observed serum 3-HB concentrations profiles and predicted a minimum dose of 3.5 g needed to achieve the target C_max. In the efficacy study, although no significant difference was observed in any cognitive domains assessed by the Cognitrax, total responses and correct answers in the SAT were significantly improved in the active group receiving 3.5 g of 3-HB compared to the placebo group. Regarding the POMS2, confusion–bewilderment, fatigue–inertia, vigor-activity, and total mood disturbance scales were significantly improved in the active group compared to the placebo group. Additionally, fatigue VAS were also significantly improved in the active group compared to the placebo group. Discussion We successfully established a one-compartment model for oral 3-HB intake and demonstrated partial efficacy on cognitive function and broad efficacy on mood in healthy subjects with a single oral dose of 3.5 g of 3-HB optimized by the model.

• Bacillus velezensis S141 improves the root growth of soybean under drought conditions

  Takahiko Kondo, Surachat Sibponkrung, Panlada Tittabutr, Nantakorn Boonkerd, Shu Ishikawa, Neung Teaumroong, Ken-ichi Yoshida

  Abstract Bacillus velezensis S141 helps soybean establish specific symbiosis with strains of Bradyrhizobium diazoefficiens to form larger nodules and improve nitrogen fixation efficiency. In this study, we found that the dry weight of soybean roots increased significantly in the presence of S141 alone under drought conditions. Hence, S141 improved the root growth of soybean under limited water supply conditions. S141 can produce some auxin, which might be involved in the improved nodulation. Inactivating IPyAD of S141, which is required for auxin biosynthesis, did not alter the beneficial effects of S141, suggesting that the root growth was independent of auxin produced by S141. Under drought conditions, soybean exhibited some responses to resist osmotic and oxidative stresses; however, S141 was relevant to none of these responses. Although the mechanism remains unclear, S141 might produce some substances that stimulate the root growth of soybean under drought conditions.

  ABSTRACT Here we present a “breathing” vessel consisting of expanded polytetrafluoroethylene, which allows gas exchange but no liquid permeation. The bacterial culture inside needs only agitation to promote air supply. Using this setup, a Bacillus subtilis cell factory for scyllo-inositol production grew to produce scyllo-inositol efficiently. The results indicate that our approach represents a sustainable “greener” approach for the cell factory.

• Efficient pathway-driven scyllo -inositol production from myo -inositol using thermophilic cells and mesophilic inositol dehydrogenases: a novel strategy for pathway control

  Ryota Kurashiki, Masahiro Takahashi, Yuta Okumura, Tatsuya Ono, Hirofumi Endo, Kohei Makino, Kaho Fukui, Kyosuke Yokoyama, Shu Ishikawa, Ken-ichi Yoshida, Takashi Ohshiro, Hirokazu Suzuki

  ABSTRACT Mesophilic enzymes, which are active at moderate temperatures, may dominate enzymatic reactions even in the presence of thermophilic crude enzymes. This study was conducted to investigate this hypothesis with mesophilic inositol dehydrogenases (IolG and IolX) produced in Geobacillus kaustophilus HTA426. To ensure the efficient production of mesophilic enzymes, we first screened for promoters induced at moderate temperatures using transcriptome analysis and identified four genes highly expressed at 30°C in the thermophile. We further characterized these promoters using fluorescent reporter assays to determine that the mti3 promoter could direct efficient gene expression at 40°C. We cloned the promoter into an Escherichia coli–Geobacillus shuttle plasmid and confirmed that the resulting vector functioned in G. kaustophilus and other thermophiles. We then used this vector for the cooperative expression of the iolG and iolX genes from Bacillus subtilis 168. G. kaustophilus cells carrying the expression vector were incubated at 60°C for cellular propagation and then at 40°C for the production of IolG and IolX. When the cells were permeabilized, IolG and IolX acted as catalysts to convert exogenous myo -inositol into scyllo -inositol at 30°C. In a scaled-up reaction, 10 g of myo -inositol was converted to 1.8 g of scyllo -inositol, which was further purified to yield 970 mg of pure powder. Notably, myo -inositol was degraded by intrinsic enzymes of G. kaustophilus at 60°C but not at 30°C, supporting our initial hypothesis. We indicate that this approach is useful for preparing enzyme cocktails without the need for purification. IMPORTANCE Enzyme cocktails are commonly employed for cell-free chemical synthesis; however, their preparation involves cumbersome processes. This study affirms that mesophilic enzymes in thermophilic crude extracts can function as specific catalysts at moderate temperatures, akin to enzyme cocktails. The catalyst was prepared by permeabilizing cells without the need for concentration, extraction, or purification processes; hence, its preparation was considerably simpler compared with conventional methods for enzyme cocktails. This approach was employed to produce pure scyllo -inositol from an economical substrate. Notably, this marks the first large-scale preparation of pure scyllo -inositol, holding potential pharmaceutical significance as scyllo -inositol serves as a promising agent for certain diseases but is currently expensive. Moreover, this approach holds promise for application in pathway engineering within living cells. The envisioned pathway is designed without chromosomal modification and is simply regulated by switching culture temperatures. Consequently, this study introduces a novel platform for both whole-cell and cell-free synthetic systems.

• High-throughput evaluation of hemolytic activity through precise measurement of colony and hemolytic zone sizes of engineered Bacillus subtilis on blood agar

  Takahiro Bamba, Rina Aoki, Yoshimi Hori, Shu Ishikawa, Ken-ichi Yoshida, Naoaki Taoka, Shingo Kobayashi, Hisashi Yasueda, Akihiko Kondo, Tomohisa Hasunuma

  Abstract Biosurfactants have remarkable characteristics, such as environmental friendliness, high safety, and excellent biodegradability. Surfactin is one of the best-known biosurfactants produced by Bacillus subtilis. Because the biosynthetic pathways of biosurfactants, such as surfactin, are complex, mutagenesis is a useful alternative to typical metabolic engineering approaches for developing high-yield strains. Therefore, there is a need for high-throughput and accurate screening methods for high-yield strains derived from mutant libraries. The blood agar lysis method, which takes advantage of the hemolytic activity of biosurfactants, is one way of determining their concentration. This method includes inoculating microbial cells onto blood-containing agar plates, and biosurfactant production is assessed based on the size of the hemolytic zone formed around each colony. Challenges with the blood agar lysis method include low experimental reproducibility and a lack of established protocols for high-throughput screening. Therefore, in this study, we investigated the effects of the inoculation procedure and media composition on the formation of hemolytic zones. We also developed a workflow to evaluate the number of colonies using robotics. The results revealed that by arranging colonies at appropriate intervals and measuring the areas of colonies and hemolytic rings using image analysis software, it was possible to accurately compare the hemolytic activity among several colonies. Although the use of the blood agar lysis method for screening is limited to surfactants exhibiting hemolytic activity, it is believed that by considering the insights gained from this study, it can contribute to the accurate screening of strains with high productivity.

• Genes encoding a novel thermostable bacteriocin in the thermophilic bacterium Aeribacillus pallidus PI8

  Kyosuke Kita, Sanako Yoshida, Shunsuke Masuo, Akira Nakamura, Shu Ishikawa, Ken-ichi Yoshida

  Abstract Aim Aeribacillus pallidus PI8 is a Gram-positive thermophilic bacterium that produces thermostable antimicrobial substances against several bacterial species, including Geobacillus kaustophilus HTA426. In the present study, we sought to identify genes of PI8 with antibacterial activity. Methods and results We isolated, cloned, and characterized a thermostable bacteriocin from A. pallidus PI8 and named it pallidocyclin. Mass spectrometric analyses of pallidocyclin revealed that it had a circular peptide structure, and its precursor was encoded by pcynA in the PI8 genome. pcynA is the second gene within the pcynBACDEF operon. Expression of the full-length pcynBACDEF operon in Bacillus subtilis produced intact pallidocyclin, whereas expression of pcynF in G. kaustophilus HTA426 conferred resistance to pallidocyclin. Conclusion Aeribacillus pallidus PI8 possesses the pcynBACDEF operon to produce pallidocyclin. pcynA encodes the pallidocyclin precursor, and pcynF acts as an antagonist of pallidocyclin.

• Greedy reduction of Bacillus subtilis genome yields emergent phenotypes of high resistance to a DNA damaging agent and low evolvability

  Etienne Dervyn, Anne-Gaëlle Planson, Kosei Tanaka, Victor Chubukov, Cyprien Guérin, Sandra Derozier, François Lecointe, Uwe Sauer, Ken-Ichi Yoshida, Pierre Nicolas, Philippe Noirot, Matthieu Jules

  Abstract Genome-scale engineering enables rational removal of dispensable genes in chassis genomes. Deviating from this approach, we applied greedy accumulation of deletions of large dispensable regions in the Bacillus subtilis genome, yielding a library of 298 strains with genomes reduced up to 1.48 Mb in size. High-throughput physiological phenotyping of these strains confirmed that genome reduction is associated with substantial loss of cell fitness and accumulation of synthetic-sick interactions. Transcriptome analysis indicated that <15% of the genes conserved in our genome-reduced strains exhibited a twofold or higher differential expression and revealed a thiol-oxidative stress response. Most transcriptional changes can be explained by loss of known functions and by aberrant transcription at deletion boundaries. Genome-reduced strains exhibited striking new phenotypes relative to wild type, including a very high resistance (increased >300-fold) to the DNA-damaging agent mitomycin C and a very low spontaneous mutagenesis (reduced 100-fold). Adaptive laboratory evolution failed to restore cell fitness, except when coupled with a synthetic increase of the mutation rate, confirming low evolvability. Although mechanisms underlying this emergent phenotype are not understood, we propose that low evolvability can be leveraged in an engineering strategy coupling reductive cycles with evolutive cycles under induced mutagenesis.

• Constitutive glucose dehydrogenase elevates intracellular NADPH levels and luciferase luminescence in Bacillus subtilis

  Yuzheng Wu, Honami Kawabata, Kyosuke Kita, Shu Ishikawa, Kan Tanaka, Ken-ichi Yoshida

  Abstract Background Genetic modifications in Bacillus subtilis have allowed the conversion of myo-inositol into scyllo-inositol, which is proposed as a therapeutic agent for Alzheimer’s disease. This conversion comprises two reactions catalyzed by two distinct inositol dehydrogenases, IolG and IolW. The IolW-mediated reaction requires the intracellular regeneration of NADPH, and there appears to be a limit to the endogenous supply of NADPH, which may be one of the rate-determining factors for the conversion of inositol. The primary mechanism of NADPH regeneration in this bacterium remains unclear. Results The gdh gene of B. subtilis encodes a sporulation-specific glucose dehydrogenase that can use NADP⁺ as a cofactor. When gdh was modified to be constitutively expressed, the intracellular NADPH level was elevated, increasing the conversion of inositol. In addition, the bacterial luciferase derived from Photorhabdus luminescens became more luminescent in cells in liquid culture and colonies on culture plates. Conclusion The results indicated that the luminescence of luciferase was representative of intracellular NADPH levels. Luciferase can therefore be employed to screen for mutations in genes involved in NADPH regeneration in B. subtilis, and artificial manipulation to enhance NADPH regeneration can promote the production of substances such as scyllo-inositol.

• A novel method for transforming Geobacillus kaustophilus with a chromosomal segment of Bacillus subtilis transferred via pLS20-dependent conjugation

  Kotaro Mori, Kaho Fukui, Ryotaro Amatsu, Shu Ishikawa, Valeria Verrone, Anil Wipat, Wilfried J. J. Meijer, Ken-ichi Yoshida

  Abstract Background Geobacillus kaustophilus is a thermophilic Gram-positive bacterium. Methods for its transformation are still under development. Earlier studies have demonstrated that pLS20catΔoriT mobilized the resident mobile plasmids from Bacillus subtilis to G. kaustophilus and transferred long segments of chromosome from one cell to another between B. subtilis. Results In this study, we applied mobilization of the B. subtilis chromosome mediated by pLS20catΔoriT to transform G. kaustophilus. We constructed a gene cassette to be integrated into G. kaustophilus and designed it within the B. subtilis chromosome. The pLS20catΔoriT-mediated conjugation successfully transferred the gene cassette from the B. subtilis chromosome into the G. kaustophilus allowing for the desired genetic transformation. Conclusions This transformation approach described here will provide a new tool to facilitate the flexible genetic manipulation of G. kaustophilus.

• Constitutive expression of the global regulator AbrB restores the growth defect of a genome-reduced Bacillus subtilis strain and improves its metabolite production

  Abstract Partial bacterial genome reduction by genome engineering can improve the productivity of various metabolites, possibly via deletion of non-essential genome regions involved in undesirable metabolic pathways competing with pathways for the desired end products. However, such reduction may cause growth defects. Genome reduction of Bacillus subtilis MGB874 increases the productivity of cellulases and proteases but reduces their growth rate. Here, we show that this growth defect could be restored by silencing redundant or less important genes affecting exponential growth by manipulating the global transcription factor AbrB. Comparative transcriptome analysis revealed that AbrB-regulated genes were upregulated and those involved in central metabolic pathway and synthetic pathways of amino acids and purine/pyrimidine nucleotides were downregulated in MGB874 compared with the wild-type strain, which we speculated were the cause of the growth defects. By constitutively expressing high levels of AbrB, AbrB regulon genes were repressed, while glycolytic flux increased, thereby restoring the growth rate to wild-type levels. This manipulation also enhanced the productivity of metabolites including γ-polyglutamic acid. This study provides the first evidence that undesired features induced by genome reduction can be relieved, at least partly, by manipulating a global transcription regulation system. A similar strategy could be applied to other genome engineering-based challenges aiming toward efficient material production in bacteria.

• Conjugation Operons in Gram-Positive Bacteria with and without Antitermination Systems

  Andrés Miguel-Arribas, Ling Juan Wu, Claudia Michaelis, Ken-ichi Yoshida, Elisabeth Grohmann, Wilfried J. J. Meijer

  Genes involved in the same cellular process are often clustered together in an operon whose expression is controlled by an upstream promoter. Generally, the activity of the promoter is strictly controlled. However, spurious transcription undermines this strict regulation, particularly affecting large operons. The negative effects of spurious transcription can be mitigated by the presence of multiple terminators inside the operon, in combination with an antitermination system. Antitermination systems modify the transcription elongation complexes and enable them to bypass terminators. Bacterial conjugation is the process by which a conjugative DNA element is transferred from a donor to a recipient cell. Conjugation involves many genes that are mostly organized in one or a few large operons. It has recently been shown that many conjugation operons present on plasmids replicating in Gram-positive bacteria possess a bipartite antitermination system that allows not only many terminators inside the conjugation operon to be bypassed, but also the differential expression of a subset of genes. Here, we show that some conjugation operons on plasmids belonging to the Inc18 family of Gram-positive broad host-range plasmids do not possess an antitermination system, suggesting that the absence of an antitermination system may have advantages. The possible (dis)advantages of conjugation operons possessing (or not) an antitermination system are discussed.

• Identification of genes encoding a novel ABC transporter in Lactobacillus delbrueckii for inulin polymers uptake

  Yuji Tsujikawa, Shu Ishikawa, Iwao Sakane, Ken-ichi Yoshida, Ro Osawa

  Lactobacillus delbrueckii JCM 1002^T grows on highly polymerized inulin-type fructans as its sole carbon source. When it was grown on inulin, a > 10 kb long gene cluster inuABCDEF (Ldb1381-1386) encoding a plausible ABC transporter was suggested to be induced, since a transcriptome analysis revealed that the fourth gene inuD (Ldb1384) was up-regulated most prominently. Although Bacillus subtilis 168 is originally unable to utilize inulin, it became to grow on inulin upon heterologous expression of inuABCDEF. When freshly cultured cells of the recombinant B. subtilis were then densely suspended in buffer containing inulin polymers and incubated, inulin gradually disappeared from the buffer and accumulated in the cells without being degraded, whereas levan-type fructans did not disappear. The results imply that inuABCDEF might encode a novel ABC transporter in L. delbrueckii to “monopolize” inulin polymers selectively, thereby, providing a possible advantage in competition with other concomitant inulin-utilizing bacteria.

• Assessment of Bacillus subtilis Plasmid pLS20 Conjugation in the Absence of Quorum Sensing Repression

  Kotaro Mori, Valeria Verrone, Ryotaro Amatsu, Kaho Fukui, Wilfried J. J. Meijer, Shu Ishikawa, Anil Wipat, Ken-ichi Yoshida

  Bacillus subtilis conjugative plasmid pLS20 uses a quorum-sensing mechanism to control expression levels of its conjugation genes, involving the repressor RcopLS20, the anti-repressor RappLS20, and the signaling peptide Phr*pLS20. In previous studies, artificial overexpression of rappLS20 in the donor cells was shown to enhance conjugation efficiency. However, we found that the overexpression of rappLS20 led to various phenotypic traits, including cell aggregation and death, which might have affected the correct determination of the conjugation efficiency when determined by colony formation assay. In the current study, conjugation efficiencies were determined under different conditions using a two-color fluorescence-activated flow cytometry method and measuring a single-round of pLS20-mediated transfer of a mobilizable plasmid. Under standard conditions, the conjugation efficiency obtained by fluorescence-activated flow cytometry was 23-fold higher than that obtained by colony formation. Furthermore, the efficiency difference increased to 45-fold when rappLS20 was overexpressed.

• Genome sequences of two strains of Lactococcus lactis subsp. cremoris with the same ancestry but a different capacity to produce exopolysaccharides

  Yayoi Gotoh, Kyosuke Kita, Kosei Tanaka, Shu Ishikawa, Toshio Suzuki, Ken-ichi Yoshida

  Strains of Lactococcus lactis subsp. cremoris are used to produce yogurt containing exopolysaccharides with a sticky texture. When strain G3-2 producing exopolysaccharides was grown at elevated temperatures, a spontaneous mutant EPSC, which had lost exopolysaccharides biosynthesis, was isolated. Genomes of the two strains were determined to be composed of a 2.4-Mb chromosome and up to eleven plasmids, and it was revealed that one of the plasmids encoding the gene cluster for exopolysaccharides biosynthesis was lost selectively in EPSC.

• Identification of a repressor for the two iol operons required for inositol catabolism in Geobacillus kaustophilus

  Ken-ichi Yoshida, Yusuke Shirae, Ryo Nishimura, Kaho Fukui, Shu Ishikawa

  Geobacillus kaustophilus HTA426, a thermophilic Gram-positive bacterium, feeds on inositol as its sole carbon source, and an iol gene cluster required for inositol catabolism has been postulated with reference to the iol genes in Bacillus subtilis . The iol gene cluster of G. kaustophilus comprises two tandem operons induced in the presence of inositol; however, the mechanism underlying this induction remains unclear. B. subtilis iolQ is known to be involved in the regulation of iolX encoding scyllo-inositol dehydrogenase, and its homologue in HTA426 was found two genes upstream of the first gene (gk1899) of the iol gene cluster and was termed iolQ in G. kaustophilus . When iolQ was inactivated in G. kaustophilus , not only cellular myo-inositol dehydrogenase activity due to gk1899 expression but also the transcription of the two iol operons became constitutive. IolQ was produced and purified as a C-terminal histidine (His)-tagged fusion protein in Escherichia coli and subjected to an in vitro gel electrophoresis mobility shift assay to examine its DNA-binding property. It was observed that IolQ bound to the DNA fragments containing each of the two iol promoter regions and that DNA binding was antagonized by myo-inositol. Moreover, DNase I footprinting analyses identified two tandem binding sites of IolQ within each of the iol promoter regions. By comparing the sequences of the binding sites, a consensus sequence for IolQ binding was deduced to form a palindrome of 5′-RGWAAGCGCTTSCY-3′ (where R=A or G, W=A or T, S=G or C, and Y=C or T). IolQ functions as a transcriptional repressor regulating the induction of the two iol operons responding to myo-inositol.

• Co-Inoculation of Bacillus velezensis Strain S141 and Bradyrhizobium Strains Promotes Nodule Growth and Nitrogen Fixation

  Surachat Sibponkrung, Takahiko Kondo, Kosei Tanaka, Panlada Tittabutr, Nantakorn Boonkerd, Ken-ichi Yoshida, Neung Teaumroong

  The objective of this research was to evaluate the PGPR effect on nodulation and nitrogen-fixing efficiency of soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) by co-inoculation with Bradyrhizobium diazoefficiens USDA110. Co-inoculation of Bacillus velezensis S141 with USDA110 into soybean resulted in enhanced nodulation and N2-fixing efficiency by producing larger nodules. To understand the role of S141 on soybean and USDA110 symbiosis, putative genes related to IAA biosynthesis were disrupted, suggesting that co-inoculation of USDA110 with S141ΔyhcX reduces the number of large size nodules. It was revealed that yhcX may play a major role in IAA biosynthesis in S141 as well as provide a major impact on soybean growth promotion. The disruption of genes related to cytokinin biosynthesis and co-inoculation of USDA110 with S141ΔIPI reduced the number of very large size nodules, and it appears that IPI might play an important role in nodule size of soybean–Bradyrhizobium symbiosis. However, it was possible that not only IAA and cytokinin but also some other substances secreted from S141 facilitate Bradyrhizobium to trigger bigger nodule formation, resulting in enhanced N2-fixation. Therefore, the ability of S141 with Bradyrhizobium co-inoculation to enhance soybean N2-fixation strategy could be further developed for supreme soybean inoculants.

• A bacterial cell factory converting glucose into scyllo-inositol, a therapeutic agent for Alzheimer's disease.

  Christophe Michon, Choong-Min Kang, Sophia Karpenko, Kosei Tanaka, Shu Ishikawa, Ken-Ichi Yoshida

  A rare stereoisomer of inositol, scyllo-inositol, is a therapeutic agent that has shown potential efficacy in preventing Alzheimer's disease. Mycobacterium tuberculosis ino1 encoding myo-inositol-1-phosphate (MI1P) synthase (MI1PS) was introduced into Bacillus subtilis to convert glucose-6-phosphate (G6P) into MI1P. We found that inactivation of pbuE elevated intracellular concentrations of NAD+·NADH as an essential cofactor of MI1PS and was required to activate MI1PS. MI1P thus produced was dephosphorylated into myo-inositol by an intrinsic inositol monophosphatase, YktC, which was subsequently isomerized into scyllo-inositol via a previously established artificial pathway involving two inositol dehydrogenases, IolG and IolW. In addition, both glcP and glcK were overexpressed to feed more G6P and accelerate scyllo-inositol production. Consequently, a B. subtilis cell factory was demonstrated to produce 2 g L-1 scyllo-inositol from 20 g L-1 glucose. This cell factory provides an inexpensive way to produce scyllo-inositol, which will help us to challenge the growing problem of Alzheimer's disease in our aging society.

  Background: Bacterial strains of the genus Geobacillus grow at high temperatures of 50-75 °C and could thus be useful for biotechnological applications. However, genetic manipulation of these species is difficult because the current techniques for transforming Geobacillus species are not efficient. In this study, we developed an easy and efficient method for transforming Geobac

• Epigallocatechin gallate induces GLUT4 translocation in skeletal muscle through both PI3K- and AMPK-dependent pathways.

  UEDA-WAKAGI Manabu, HAYASHIBARA Kaori, NAGANO Tomoya, IKEDA Masaki, YUAN Sihao, UEDA Shuji, SHIRAI Yasuhito, YOSHIDA Ken-ichi, ASHIDA Hitoshi

  Our previous report demonstrated that epigallocatechin gallate (EGCg) promotes translocation of glucose transporter 4 (GLUT4) in skeletal muscle. In this study, we investigated the molecular mechanism of GLUT4 translocation by EGCg at the physiological concentration range. In L6 cells, EGCg induced phosphorylation of phosphatidylinositide 3'-kinase (PI3K) and downstream protein kinase C (PKC) λ/ξ without affecting the phosphorylation of insulin receptor and Akt. EGCg-induced GLUT4 translocation was suppressed by RNA interference-mediated knockdown of PI3K and treatment with PKC inhibitor Go6983. Moreover, EGCg increased Rac1 activity and actin remodelling as downstream events of PKCλ/ξ. These results indicate that EGCg induced GLUT4 translocation through a PI3K-dependent pathway, but its mode of action differed from that of insulin. EGCg also induced GLUT4 translocation through a 5'-adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK)-dependent pathway. 67 kDa laminin receptor, which is a target molecule of EGCg, was not involved in EGCg-induced glucose uptake in L6 cells. The oral administration of EGCg suppressed postprandial hyperglycaemia accompanied by GLUT4 translocation through both PI3K- and AMPK-dependent pathways, and promoted glycogen accumulation in skeletal muscle of ICR mice. EGCg promotes GLUT4 translocation through both PI3K- and AMPK-dependent pathways and glycogen accumulation in skeletal muscle.

• Biotransformation of ferulic acid to protocatechuic acid by Corynebacterium glutamicum ATCC 21420 engineered to express vanillate O-demethylase.

  Naoko Okai, Takaya Masuda, Yasunobu Takeshima, Kosei Tanaka, Ken-Ichi Yoshida, Masanori Miyamoto, Chiaki Ogino, Akihiko Kondo

  Ferulic acid (4-hydroxy-3-methoxycinnamic acid, FA) is a lignin-derived phenolic compound abundant in plant biomass. The utilization of FA and its conversion to valuable compounds is desired. Protocatechuic acid (3,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid, PCA) is a precursor of polymers and plastics and a constituent of food. A microbial conversion system to produce PCA from FA was developed in this study using a PCA-producing strain of Corynebacterium glutamicum F (ATCC 21420). C. glutamicum strain F grown at 30 °C for 48 h utilized 2 mM each of FA and vanillic acid (4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzoic acid, VA) to produce PCA, which was secreted into the medium. FA may be catabolized by C. glutamicum through proposed (I) non-β-oxidative, CoA-dependent or (II) β-oxidative, CoA-dependent phenylpropanoid pathways. The conversion of VA to PCA is the last step in each pathway. Therefore, the vanillate O-demethylase gene (vanAB) from Corynebacterium efficiens NBRC 100395 was expressed in C. glutamicum F (designated strain FVan) cultured at 30 °C in AF medium containing FA. Strain C. glutamicum FVan converted 4.57 ± 0.07 mM of FA into 2.87 ± 0.01 mM PCA after 48 h with yields of 62.8% (mol/mol), and 6.91 mM (1064 mg/L) of PCA was produced from 16.0 mM of FA after 12 h of fed-batch biotransformation. Genomic analysis of C. glutamicum ATCC 21420 revealed that the PCA-utilization genes (pca cluster) were conserved in strain ATCC 21420 and that mutations were present in the PCA importer gene pcaK.

• Taurine does not affect the composition, diversity, or metabolism of human colonic microbiota simulated in a single-batch fermentation system.

  Kengo Sasaki, Daisuke Sasaki, Naoko Okai, Kosei Tanaka, Ryohei Nomoto, Itsuko Fukuda, Ken-Ichi Yoshida, Akihiko Kondo, Ro Osawa

  Accumulating evidence suggests that dietary taurine (2-aminoethanesulfonic acid) exerts beneficial anti-inflammatory effects in the large intestine. In this study, we investigated the possible impact of taurine on human colonic microbiota using our single-batch fermentation system (Kobe University Human Intestinal Microbiota Model; KUHIMM). Fecal samples from eight humans were individually cultivated with and without taurine in the KUHIMM. The results showed that taurine remained largely undegraded after 30 h of culturing in the absence of oxygen, although some 83% of the taurine was degraded after 30 h of culturing under aerobic conditions. Diversity in bacterial species in the cultures was analyzed by 16S rRNA gene sequencing, revealing that taurine caused no significant change in the diversity of the microbiota; both operational taxonomic unit and Shannon-Wiener index of the cultures were comparable to those of the respective source fecal samples. In addition, principal coordinate analysis indicated that taurine did not alter the composition of bacterial species, since the 16S rRNA gene profile of bacterial species in the original fecal sample was maintained in each of the cultures with and without taurine. Furthermore, metabolomic analysis revealed that taurine did not affect the composition of short-chain fatty acids produced in the cultures. These results, under these controlled but artificial conditions, suggested that the beneficial anti-inflammatory effects of dietary taurine in the large intestine are independent of the intestinal microbiota. We infer that dietary taurine may act directly in the large intestine to exert anti-inflammatory effects.

• Identification of two myo-inositol transporter genes of Bacillus subtilis.

  Ken-Ichi Yoshida, Yoshiyuki Yamamoto, Kaoru Omae, Mami Yamamoto, Yasutaro Fujita

  Among hundreds of mutants constructed systematically by the Japanese groups participating in the functional analysis of the Bacillus subtilis genome project, we found that a mutant with inactivation of iolT (ydjK) exhibited a growth defect on myo-inositol as the sole carbon source. The putative product of iolT exhibits significant similarity with many bacterial sugar transporters in the databases. In B. subtilis, the iolABCDEFGHIJ and iolRS operons are known to be involved in inositol utilization, and its transcription is regulated by the IolR repressor and induced by inositol. Among the iol genes, iolF was predicted to encode an inositol transporter. Inactivation of iolF alone did not cause such an obvious growth defect on inositol as the iolT inactivation, while simultaneous inactivation of the two genes led to a more severe defect than the single iolT inactivation. Determination of inositol uptake by the mutants revealed that iolT inactivation almost completely abolished uptake, but uptake by IolF itself was slightly detectable. These results, as well as the K(m) and V(max) values for the IolT and IolF inositol transporters, indicated that iolT and iolF encode major and minor inositol transporters, respectively. Northern and primer extension analyses of iolT transcription revealed that the gene is monocistronically transcribed from a promoter likely recognized by final sigma(A) RNA polymerase and negatively regulated by IolR as well. The interaction between IolR and the iolT promoter region was analyzed by means of gel retardation and DNase I footprinting experiments, it being suggested that the mode of interaction is quite similar to that found for the promoter regions of the iol divergon.

• Effects of Bacillus thuringiensis var.israelensis 20-kDa Protein on Production of the Bti 130-kDa Crystal Protein in Escherichia coli

  YOSHISUE Hajime, YOSHIDA Ken-ichi, SEN Kikuo, SAKAI Hiroshi, KOMANO Tohru

  A 20-kDa protein of Bacillus thuringiensis var. israelensis (Bti) has been shown to be necessary for the efficient expression of the 27-kDa mosquitocidal protein gene in Escherichia coli. We have investigated the effects of this 20-kDa protein on the expression of two 130-kDa mosquitocidal protein genes (cryIV A, cryIV B) in E.coli by supplying the 20-kDa protein gene in trans. When a recombinant plasmid, pLH4BX, which was constructed to express cryIV A under the E.coli lac promoter on pUC19,coexisted with the 20-kDa protein gene, a striking increase in production of the fused CryIV A was detected. This was not accompanied by an increase in the amount of intracellular mRNA, suggesting that 20-kDa protein exerts a posttranscriptional effect. We conclude that the 20-kDa protein also stimulates the production of 130-kDa protein in E.Coli.

  The myo-inositol catabolism pathway of Bacillus subtilis has not been fully characterized but was proposed to involve step-wise multiple reactions that finally yielded acetyl-CoA and dihydroxyacetone phosphate. It is known that the iolABCDEFGHIJ operon is responsible for the catabolism of inositol. IolG catalyses the first step of myo-inositol catabolism, the dehydrogenation of myo-inositol, producing 2-keto-myo-inositol (inosose). The second step was thought to be the dehydration of inosose. Genetic and biochemical analyses of the iol genes led to the identification of iolE, encoding the enzyme for the second step of inositol catabolism, inosose dehydratase. The reaction product of inosose dehydratase was identified as D-2,3-diketo-4-deoxy-epi-inositol.

• "A Sweet and Calorie-free Bacillus!?": Production of L-glucose in B. subtilis

  Nakamura Akira

  Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research, Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (B), University of Tsukuba, 01 Apr. 2016 - 31 Mar. 2020

  In this study we aimed to construct an L-glucose production system in Bacillus subtilis by heterologous expression of iolM, iolN and lgnH genes to produce L-gluconate from myo-inositol. By using synthetic genes optimized for the codon usages of B. subtilis and a strong promoter, these genes can be expressed in B. subtilis at some extent. We introduced these three genes as an operon on a plasmid to B. subtilis strain deficient for intrinsic inositol catabolic genes, however, conversion of myo-inositol to L-gluconate was not observed. It may be due to low expression of these genes. On the other hand, to obtain a mutant protein of LgdA (L-glucose dehydrogenase) having reverse reaction activity, we have determined its three-dimensional structure. We identified several residues for substrate binding, of which R178 was proven to be essential for inositol dehydrogenation activity, but not for L-glucose dehydrogenation.

  As part of the comprehensive function analysis of the HTH-regulatory proteins in the framework of Bacillus subtilis post-genome project, we conducted the function analysis of the regulons governed by the MarR, MerR and TetR families of the HTH-regulatory proteins, the targets of which tend to be drug-resistance genes. Out of them, we list those which are the prominent achievements from their analysis. (i) The YsiA regulon was found to be involved in fatty acid β-oxidation, whose members are five operons (ysiAB-etfBA, ykuFG, yhfL, yusLKJ, and ywjF-acdA-rpoE). Each of these operons carry a YsiA-box in its promoter region to which YsiA binds. The in vivo and in vitro analyses revealed that long chain fatty acyl-CoAs with 14 to 20 carbon atoms antagonized the YsiA protein. (ii) The LmrA/YxaF regulon comprises lmrAB, yxaGH, and yxaF was found to be involved in flavonoid degradation as well as lincomycin resistance, which were dually regulated by the LmrA and YxaF proteins. It was considered that lincomycin resistance is not induced by lincomycin, but the lmrB gene responsible to lincomycin exhaust is likely related to flavonoid degradation by chance. (iii) The YkvE regulon comprising ykcABC, ydfNOP, yodED, and yvaB is likely induced by chlorohydroquinone. (iv) The yhblJ-yhcAB operon was induced by indole acetic acid, which is repressed by YhbI. This operon is likely involved in indole acetic acid secretion. (v) The analysis of multi-drug resistant operons revealed that YcnC, YusO, and YwoH negatively regulate ycnCB, yusOP, and ywoHG, respectively.


• 枯草菌のアスパラギン生合成の逆遺伝学的研究

  吉田 健一

  日本学術振興会, 科学研究費助成事業, 若手研究(A), 2002 - 2004

  枯草菌等グラム陽性菌のアスパラギン合成は研究の例がなく、その機構と生理的意義の解明が待たれる。本研究課題は、枯草菌ゲノムに見出された3種のアスパラギン合成酵素様遺伝子asnB, asnH, asnOの発現調節と生理的意義の解明を目指す。本年度はasnHの発現調節機構の解析とasnOの機能解析をさらに推進した。 asnHを含むオペロンは、細胞内の栄養状態を感知するCodYと遷移期の(胞子形成開始期を含む)遺伝子発現を司るArbBによって転写調節される。このオペロンの転写産物の5'-UTRに存在する3回リピート配列(各約120bp)が、上記の調節に関与しているかどうか検討した。その結果、3回リピート配列はCodY, AbrBどちらの調節にも関係しておらず、むしろ転写産物を安定化させる機能を担うことが示唆されたので、この点の詳細を検討した。 昨年度、放射ラベルされたアスパラギン酸を基質として大腸菌や枯草菌の細胞抽出物を作用させ、生産されるアスパラギンを定量するアッセイ系を確立した。本年度はこのアッセイ系を利用して、asnOの担う胞子形成期のアスパラギン合成活性を評価した結果、asnOが実際にアスパラギン合成活性を担うことが強く示唆された。また、大腸菌のasnBをasnOに代えて発現させた場合にはアスパラギン合成の増強が見られたが、この発現によってasnO欠損による胞子形成不全は補れなかった。即ち、asnOの胞子形成への寄与はアスパラギン合成以外の何らかの機能によるものであると示唆された。詳細な顕微鏡観察の結果、asnO変異株の胞子は一旦脱水したのちに速やかに吸水し、そのことが耐熱性の消失につながる可能性が考えられた。そこで胞子の吸水を阻止することが知られるpdaA変異を追加導入したところ、asnO変異株の胞子の吸水が見られなくなった。しかし、この2重変異株の胞子はpdaAの単一変異のそれよりも耐熱性が低く、即ち胞子の吸水だけではasnO変異の影響を説明できないことがわかった。

  More than 500 Bacillus subtilis DNA microarray data were obtained, using the cells grown in various cultivation conditions and exposed to numerous environmental stresses, to perform gene clustering of altered genes, and using the transcriptional regulatory mutants, to extract the target gene candidates of the transcriptional regulatory factors. A fundamental network of metabolic regulation concerned with the biosynthesis of branched-chain amino acids involving carbon and nitrogen regulations by CcpA, CodY and TnrA and stringent control conducted by RelA, was revealed from the data of gene clustering and identification of target gene candidates. On the base of the DNA microarray data of DNA-binding transcriptional regulatory factors, we completed comprehensive molecular genetic analysis of ECF-sigma factors, and almost completed that of 34 two-component regulatory systems. Consequently, the function of only several two-component systems remained to be unknown. Moreover, we performed the molecular genetic analysis of the MarR, TetR and MerR families of HTH-DNA binding regulatory proteins among more than 200 proteins, for which the DNA maicroarray analysis of were almost completed, identifying at least one target gene of almost all proteins of the three families. Especially, it is notable that we found that YsiA protein was involved in global fatty acid degradation regulation. These results of the five-year project, unveiling a broad outline of the transcriptional network of B. subtilis, was published in 39 scientific papers listed below together with more than 100 of presentations at scientific meetings.

  枯草菌はイノシトールを炭素源として利用するための特殊な分解系を持つ。その分解系遺伝子はiol operonを構成しており、イノシトールの存在下で誘導される。筆者は枯草菌イノシトール分解系の分子生物学的解明を目指した。iolGが分解系の初発反応を担うinositol dehydrogenaseを、iolRが転写制御を担うrepressorをコードすることは既知であり、イノシトールの分解過程で生成する誘導物質がIolRをオペレーターから解離させるものと想定される。そこでまず誘導物質生成までの過程とそれ以降に関わる遺伝子を区別する実験系を確立した結果、誘導物質生成に不可欠なのはiolBCDEGの5遺伝子であることがわかった。そしてこれらの各遺伝子を大腸菌内で発現させ産物が示す酵素活性を検討し、iolEが2段階目の反応を担うinosose dehydrataseを、iolDが3段階目のdiketodeoxyinositol hydrolaseをコードすることを明らかにした。本年度はこの第3段階目の反応産物deoxyketohexonate(DKH)を精製することに成功し、その化学構造を詳細にする研究に着手することができ今後の結果が期待される。残るiolBCが関与する反応により誘導物質が生成されるものと考えらたので、これら2つの遺伝子をそれぞれ、また同時に発現させて酵素活性を調べたところ、これらの遺伝子産物は同時発現したときにのみ,複合体を形成し第4段階のDKH kinaseとしての酵素活性を発揮することがわかった。さらにこの反応産物(おそらくDKHP)はIolRとオペレーターDNAとの特異的な結合を阻害することを見出し、DKHPが細胞内の誘導物質として機能することを明らかにした。以上、本研究を通じ枯草菌のイノシトール分解系の細胞内誘導物質の生成までの反応系を分子生物学的に詳細に解明することに成功した。

  枯草菌等の微生物は特殊なイノシトール分解系を発達させている。枯草菌のイノシトール分解系遺伝子はiol divergon(iolABCDEFGHIJ&iolRSoperons)を構成し、イノシトールの存在下で誘導される。筆者は枯草菌イノシトール分解系の分子生物学的解明を目指した。iolGが分解系の初発反応を担うinositol dehydrogenaseを、iolRが転写制御を担うrepressorをコードすることは既知であり、イノシトールの分解過程で生成する誘導物質がIolRをオペレーターから解離させるものと想定される。そこでまず誘導物質生成までの過程とそれ以降に関わる遺伝子を区別する実験系を確立した結果、誘導物質生成に不可欠なのはiolBCDEGの5遺伝子であることがわかった。そしてこれらの各遺伝子を大腸菌内で発現させ、その産物の示す酵素活性を詳細に検討したところ、iolEが2段階目の反応を担うinosose dehydrataseを、iolDが3段階目のdiketodeoxyinositol hydrolaseをコードすることが明らかとなった。従って、残るiolBCが関与する反応により誘導物質が生成されるものと考えらる。一方、本研究の遂行過程でIolRの制御下にある新規遺伝子iolTを染色体上のiol divergonとはかけ離れた位置に発見した。この発見はIolR傘下の遺伝子発現制御ネットワーク"iol regulon"の存在を示唆した。iolTを破壊するとイノシトールの取り込み能力が著しく低下したことから、iolTはイノシトールの主たる取り込みを担う輸送蛋白をコードすると考えられた。またiol divergonに含まれるiolFもこの取り込みに部分的に関与することもわかり、iol regulonには少なくとも2つの輸送系が含まれることが示唆された。

  枯草菌イノシトールオペロンの遺伝子構造と発現制御機構を明らかとするため以下の研究を行った。本オペロンはiolABCDEFGHIJの10個の遺伝子より構成されるものと推定され、またその上流に逆向きに存在する遺伝子がリプレッサー遺伝子iolRであることが分かっていた。 1.イノシトールオペロンのプロモーターの解析 イノシトールの添加により転写誘導される本オペロンのプロモーターとiolRのプロモーターを同定した。iolRはその下流のiolSと共に約2kbの転写産物として発現していた。 2.オペロンの転写終結点の同定 転写終結点をiolJ遺伝子の直後に同定した。この位置で終結する転写は本オペロンプロモーターからの転写であり、従って本オペロンは10個のiol遺伝子をコードする約11.5kbの非常に長い転写単位として発現していることが分かった。 (平成8年3月現在、以上2点に関する論文を執筆中である。) 3.IolRの認識するオペレーターの解析 大腸菌内でIolRを生産しDNase I foot printでプロモーターDNAとの結合を調べた結果、IolRは特異的にプロモーター領域に結合し約100bpもの長い領域をカバーする事が分かった。またDNA二重螺旋のほぼ1周期ごとに切断が増強された。IolRを精製し詳細な解析を試みている。 4.イノシトールオペロン遺伝子の機能解析 枯草菌のイノシトール分解系は未だ不明である。各遺伝子の機能を同定し分解系の詳細を明らかにする第一歩として10種の変異株の変異点を同定し、変異株の取れない遺伝子は遺伝子破壊を行った。これら変異株、破壊株を利用して各遺伝子の機能解析を進めている。

  GntR蛋白の機能構造を明らかにするために主として次の2つの解析方法で研究した。1つは、分子遺伝学的な方法でのGntR蛋白の機能構造の解析であり、もう一つの方法は、Oregon Health Sciences UniversityのBrennen博士との共同研究であるGntRの結晶化とそのX線解析である。 分子遺伝学的方法でGntR蛋白の機能ドメインの解析では、前年度に4種のDNA結合能に影響する点変異の同定に成功している。Leu-43変異はGntRのDNAへの結合能を完全に欠失させ、他の点変異(Thr-66,Lys-74とGln-75)は、DNA結合能を野生型に比して低下させた。これらの変異はすべてGntRファミリーの保存領域に存在する事が明らかになった。さらにエフェクターであるグルコン酸の結合ドメインを同定するため、レポーターであるクロラムフェニコール耐性をグルコン酸で誘導可能とした系で、ヒドロキシルアミン処理により多数の誘導不能GntR変異を得た。これらの変異GntR蛋白質遺伝子の塩基配列を決定し、2種類の点変異(Ile-209とLeu-230)とC末端から23アミノ酸の欠失変異の同定した。これらの変異はすべてGntRファミリーの非保存領域にあたるC末端側に存在するので、この領域にGntRファミリーの制御蛋白質のエフエクターとの結合ドメインが存在すると考えられるた。 Brennan博士との共同研究のGntR蛋白の結晶化では、最近PEG溶液からかなリ大型の結晶(約100-クロン)が得られたが、さらにX線解析に耐える結晶を得るベく努力している。

  本課題遂行のため、グルコン酸オペロンのリプレッサ-(GntR)蛋白の結晶化、分子遺伝学詣なGntR蛋白の機能ドメインの解析、およびGntR蛋白のDNA結合のキネテックスの解析の3手法を採用している。各々の手法で得られた成果を箇条書にする。 1.Brennan博士との共同研究のGntR蛋白の結晶化では、最近PEG溶液からかなりの良好な結晶が得られたが尚小型である。X線解析に耐える大きさの結晶を得るべく努力している。 2.分子遺伝学的方法でGntR蛋白のDNA結合ドメインを解析した成果を述べる。欠失解析の結果DNA結合能にはN末側の71アミノ酸が必要であることが明らかになった。つぎに、クロラムフエニコ-ル耐性をグルコ-ン酸で誘導可能として系で、ヒドロキシルアミン処理により多数のGntR方異を得た。この中でGntR給白の安定性に影響しない変異をSDSーPAGEにより選抜し、その変異gntRの塩基配列を決定することにより方異蛋白の置換アミノ酸を同定した。その結果、4種のDNA結合能に影響する点変異の同定に成功はた。Leuー43変異はGntRのDNAへの結合能を完全に欠失させ、他の点変異(Thrー66,Lysー74とGlnー75)は、DNA結合能を野生型に比して低下させた。これらの方異はすべてGntRフアミリ-の保存領域に存在した。従って、GntRのDNA結合ドメインはN末端側に存在し、特にこのフアミリ-の保存領域がDNA結合能に重要な役割を果していることが類推できた。 3.GntR蛋白のDNA結合のキネテックスの解析により、この蛋白のオペレ-タDNAへの結合能は誘導物質たるグルコン酸あるいはグルコノーδーラクトンが存在すると特異的に阻害されるが、逆にオペレ-タ-配列を持たないDNAへの結合能が誘起されることが判った。
