The first step in the fermentation is a CoA-transfer to β-alanine. Subsequently, the resulting β-alanyl-CoA is deaminated by the enzyme β-alanyl-CoA:ammonia lyase (Acl) to reversibly form ammonia and acrylyl-CoA. We have determined the crystal structure of Acl in its apo-form at a resolution of 0.97 {\AA} as well as in complex with CoA at a resolution of 1.59 {\AA}. The structures reveal that the enyzme belongs to a superfamily of proteins exhibiting a so called "hot dog fold" which is characterized by a five-stranded antiparallel β-sheet with a long α-helix packed against it. The functional unit of all "hot dog fold" proteins is a homodimer containing two equivalent substrate binding sites which are established by the dimer interface. In the case of Acl, three functional dimers combine to a homohexamer strongly resembling the homohexamer formed by YciA-like acyl-CoA thioesterases. Here, we propose an enzymatic mechanism based on the crystal structure of the Acl·CoA complex and molecular docking.

Both in its varied natural habitats and in industrial settings, B. licheniformis cells will be exposed to increases in the external osmolarity, conditions that trigger water efflux, impair turgor, cause the cessation of growth, and negatively affect the productivity of cell factories in biotechnological processes. We have taken here both systems-wide and targeted physiological approaches to unravel the core of the osmostress responses of B. licheniformis. Cells were suddenly subjected to an osmotic upshift of considerable magnitude (with 1 M NaCl), and their transcriptional profile was then recorded in a time-resolved fashion on a genome-wide scale. A bioinformatics cluster analysis was used to group the osmotically up-regulated genes into categories that are functionally associated with the synthesis and import of osmostress-relieving compounds (compatible solutes), the SigB-controlled general stress response, and genes whose functional annotation suggests that salt stress triggers secondary oxidative stress responses in B. licheniformis. The data set focusing on the transcriptional profile of B. licheniformis was enriched by proteomics aimed at identifying those proteins that were accumulated by the cells through increased biosynthesis in response to osmotic stress. Furthermore, these global approaches were augmented by a set of experiments that addressed the synthesis of the compatible solutes proline and glycine betaine and assessed the growth-enhancing effects of various osmoprotectants. Combined, our data provide a blueprint of the cellular adjustment processes of B. licheniformis to both sudden and sustained osmotic stress.}, language = {en} } @article{WangDruckenmuellerElbersetal.2014, author = {Wang, Ren-Qi and Druckenm{\"u}ller, Katharina and Elbers, Gereon and Guenther, Klaus and Crou{\´e}, Jean-Philippe}, title = {Analysis of aquatic-phase natural organic matter by optimized LDI-MS method}, series = {Journal of mass spectrometry}, volume = {49}, journal = {Journal of mass spectrometry}, number = {2}, publisher = {Wiley}, address = {Bognor Regis}, issn = {1096-9888}, doi = {10.1002/jms.3321}, pages = {154 -- 160}, year = {2014}, abstract = {The composition and physiochemical properties of aquatic-phase natural organic matter (NOM) are most important problems for both environmental studies and water industry. Laser desorption/ionization (LDI) mass spectrometry facilitated successful examinations of NOM, as humic and fulvic acids in NOM are readily ionized by the nitrogen laser. In this study, hydrophobic NOMs (HPO NOMs) from river, reservoir and waste water were characterized by this technique. The effect of analytical variables like concentration, solvent composition and laser energy was investigated. The exact masses of small molecular NOM moieties in the range of 200-1200 m/z were determined in reflectron mode. In addition, spectra of post-source-decay experiments in this range showed that some compounds from different natural NOMs had the same fragmental ions. In the large mass range of 1200-15 000 Da, macromolecules and their aggregates were found in HPO NOMs from natural waters. Highly humic HPO exhibited mass peaks larger than 8000 Da. On the other hand, the waste water and reservoir water mainly had relatively smaller molecules of about 2000 Da. The LDI-MS measurements indicated that highly humic river waters were able to form large aggregates and membrane foulants, while the HPO NOMs from waste water and reservoir water were unlikely to form large aggregates.

In this study the response of B. pumilus to oxidative stress was investigated during a treatment with high concentrations of hydrogen peroxide at the proteome, transcriptome and metabolome level. Genes/proteins belonging to regulons, which are known to have important functions in the oxidative stress response of other organisms, were found to be upregulated, such as the Fur, Spx, SOS or CtsR regulon. Strikingly, parts of the fundamental PerR regulon responding to peroxide stress in B. subtilis are not encoded in the B. pumilus genome. Thus, B. pumilus misses the catalase KatA, the DNA-protection protein MrgA or the alkyl hydroperoxide reductase AhpCF. Data of this study suggests that the catalase KatX2 takes over the function of the missing KatA in the oxidative stress response of B. pumilus. The genome-wide expression analysis revealed an induction of bacillithiol (Cys-GlcN-malate, BSH) relevant genes. An analysis of the intracellular metabolites detected high intracellular levels of this protective metabolite, which indicates the importance of bacillithiol in the peroxide stress resistance of B. pumilus.}, language = {en} } @misc{BerndtHoeckerKuropkaetal.1991, author = {Berndt, Heinz and H{\"o}cker, Hartwig and Kuropka, Rolf and Kinkel, Joachim}, title = {Silane coated inorganic materials for chromatography : United States Patent}, publisher = {[The United States Patent and Trademark Office]}, address = {[Alexandria, VA u.a.]}, pages = {9 S. : graph.

Application of 5-fluorouracil based counterselection through establishment of a phosphoribosyltransferase deficient Δupp strain eventually facilitated the marker-free introduction of degU32 leading to further protease enhancement achieving levels as for hypersecreting wild strains in which degU was overexpressed. Surprisingly, deletion of rapG - known to interfere with DegU DNA-binding in B. subtilis - did not enhance protease production neither in the wild type nor in the degU32 strain. The combination of degU32 and Δupp counterselection in the type strain is not only equally effective as in hypersecreting wild strains with respect to protease production but furthermore facilitates genetic strain improvement aiming at biological containment and effectiveness of biotechnological processes.}, language = {en} } @article{BongaertsEsserLorbachetal.2011, author = {Bongaerts, Johannes and Esser, Simon and Lorbach, Volker and Al-Momani, L{\´o}ay and M{\"u}ller, Michael A. and Franke, Dirk and Grondal, Christoph and Kurutsch, Anja and Bujnicki, Robert and Takors, Ralf and Raeven, Leon and Wubbolts, Marcel and Bovenberg, Roel and Nieger, Martin and Sch{\"u}rmann, Melanie and Trachtmann, Natalie and Kozak, Stefan and Sprenger, Georg A. and M{\"u}ller, Michael}, title = {Diversity-oriented production of metabolites derived from chorismate and their use in organic synthesis}, series = {Angewandte Chemie International Edition}, volume = {Vol. 50}, journal = {Angewandte Chemie International Edition}, number = {Iss. 34}, publisher = {Wiley}, address = {Weinheim}, issn = {1521-3773 (E-Journal); 0570-0833 (Print); 1433-7851 (Print)}, pages = {7781 -- 7786}, year = {2011}, language = {en} } @article{DeppeKlatteBongaertsetal.2011, author = {Deppe, Veronika Maria and Klatte, Stephanie and Bongaerts, Johannes and Maurer, Karl-Heinz and O'Connell, Timothy and Meinhardt, Friedhelm}, title = {Genetic control of Amadori product degradation in Bacillus subtilis via regulation of frlBONMD expression by FrlR}, series = {Applied and environmental microbiology}, volume = {Vol. 77}, journal = {Applied and environmental microbiology}, number = {No. 9}, publisher = {American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)}, address = {New York}, issn = {1098-5336 (E-Journal); 0003-6919 (Print); 0099-2240 (Print)}, pages = {2839 -- 2846}, year = {2011}, language = {en} } @article{DeppeBongaertsO'Connelletal.2011, author = {Deppe, Veronika Maria and Bongaerts, Johannes and O'Connell, Timothy and Maurer, Karl-Heinz and Meinhardt, Friedhelm}, title = {Enzymatic deglycation of Amadori products in bacteria}, series = {Applied microbiology and biotechnology}, volume = {Vol. 90}, journal = {Applied microbiology and biotechnology}, number = {Iss. 2}, publisher = {Springer}, address = {Berlin}, issn = {1432-0614 (E-Journal); 0171-1741 (Print); 0175-7598 (Print); 0340-2118 (Print)}, pages = {399 -- 406}, year = {2011}, language = {en} } @article{DegeringEggertPulsetal.2010, author = {Degering, Christian and Eggert, Thorsten and Puls, Michael and Bongaerts, Johannes and Evers, Stefan and Maurer, Karl-Heinz and Jaeger, Karl-Erich}, title = {Optimization of protease secretion in Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus licheniformis by screening of homologous and herologous signal peptides}, series = {Applied and environmental microbiology}, volume = {76}, journal = {Applied and environmental microbiology}, number = {19}, publisher = {American Society for Microbiology}, address = {Washington, DC}, issn = {1098-5336 (E-Journal); 0003-6919 (Print); 0099-2240 (Print)}, doi = {10.1128/AEM.01146-10}, pages = {6370 -- 6378}, year = {2010}, abstract = {Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus licheniformis are widely used for the large-scale industrial production of proteins. These strains can efficiently secrete proteins into the culture medium using the general secretion (Sec) pathway. A characteristic feature of all secreted proteins is their N-terminal signal peptides, which are recognized by the secretion machinery. Here, we have studied the production of an industrially important secreted protease, namely, subtilisin BPN′ from Bacillus amyloliquefaciens. One hundred seventy-three signal peptides originating from B. subtilis and 220 signal peptides from the B. licheniformis type strain were fused to this secretion target and expressed in B. subtilis, and the resulting library was analyzed by high-throughput screening for extracellular proteolytic activity. We have identified a number of signal peptides originating from both organisms which produced significantly increased yield of the secreted protease. Interestingly, we observed that levels of extracellular protease were improved not only in B. subtilis, which was used as the screening host, but also in two different B. licheniformis strains. To date, it is impossible to predict which signal peptide will result in better secretion and thus an improved yield of a given extracellular target protein. Our data show that screening a library consisting of homologous and heterologous signal peptides fused to a target protein can identify more-effective signal peptides, resulting in improved protein export not only in the original screening host but also in different production strains.}, language = {en} } @article{PolenKraemerBongaertsetal.2005, author = {Polen, T. and Kr{\"a}mer, Marco and Bongaerts, Johannes and Wubbolts, Marcel and Wendisch, V.
