pgsBCA- encoding a poly-γ-glutamic acid synthetase

PgsBCA complex, consisting of three subunits, is composed of PgsB、PgsC and PgsA. PgsB catalyzes poly-γ-glutamic acid synthesis．And PgsC links PgsB and PgsA in the membrane. While PgsA transports poly-γ-glutamic acid outside the cell. In our project, we use the PgsBCA complex to biosynthesize poly-γ-glutamic acid.

Usage and Biology

The BCA genes from Bacillus sp. encode a γ-PGA synthetase located on the cell membrane which is capable of polymerizing glutamic acid to form poly-γ-glutamic acid. In Bacillus subtilis, BCA are called pgsBCA. This part is used producing L-glutamate-rich γ-PGA.

Characterization

We used NMR to detect γ-PGA and HPLC to analyze L- glutamate ratio of γ-PGA. The results show we have successfully produced L-glutamate-rich γ-PGA.

By the NMR detection of the fermentation product, the specific hydrogen peaks a, b, and c on the γ-amide bond on the γ-polyglutamic acid could be detected at the corresponding time points. It is indicated that the synthetase pgsBCA genes of Bacillus subtilis heterologously expressed in Corynebacterium glutamicum, and the target product γ-polyglutamic acid is successfully produced.

HPLC.png

We used HPLC to detect the L-glutamate monomer ratio of the γ-PGA we have produced. The results show that the L-glutamic acid monomer ratio reaches more than 90%. This part is working and we have produced L-glutamate-rich γ-PGA.
