The return of metabolism: biochemistry and physiology of glycolysis. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Glycolysis is a fundamental metabolic pathway central to the bioenergetics and physiology of virtually all living organisms. In this comprehensive review, we explore the intricate biochemical principles and evolutionary origins of glycolytic pathways, from the classical Embden–Meyerhof–Parnas (EMP) pathway in humans to various prokaryotic and ...

GnuR Represses the Expression of Glucose and Gluconate Catabolism in Pseudomonas putida KT2440. [PDF]
In this work, we found that both glucose and gluconate can significantly induce the expression of catabolic enzymes of glucose and gluconate metabolism and the four related transcription factors including GnuR in Pseudomonas putida KT2440, a prime chassis for biotechnology.

A Novel Lineage of Endosymbiotic Actinomycetales: Genome Reduction and Acquisition of New Functions in Bifidobacteriaceae Associated With Termite Gut Flagellates. [PDF]
We have characterised several novel genera of Bifidobacteriaceae that colonise the cytoplasm of cellulolytic flagellates. Horizontal gene transfer played an important role in their adaptation to the intracellular environment. However, progressive genome erosion led to the loss of biosynthetic capacities that formed the basis of an originally ...

To address the limitation of native C1 metabolism of obligate type I methanotrophs, we proposed a novel platform strain that can utilize methane and multi‐carbon substrates, such as glycerol, simultaneously to boost growth rates and chemical production in Methylotuvimicrobium alcaliphilum 20Z. To demonstrate the uses of this concept, we reconstructed a

A component of the Entner–Doudoroff pathway, 2‐keto‐3‐deoxy‐6‐phosphogluconate aldolase, plays a vital role in the virulence of Pectobacterium atrosepticum on potato by controlling expression of genes involved in pectin degradation. Abstract Pectobacterium carotovorum has an incomplete Entner–Doudoroff (ED) pathway, including enzyme 2‐keto‐3‐deoxy‐6 ...

The need to synthesize enantiomerically pure pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and food agents, has prompted our efforts to develop stereospecific aldol catalysts using 2-keto-3-deoxy-6-phosphogluconate (KDPG) aldolase.

Insights into the Substrate Specificity of Archaeal Entner–Doudoroff Aldolases: The Structures of Picrophilus torridus 2‑Keto-3-deoxygluconate Aldolase and Sulfolobus solfataricus 2‑Keto-3-deoxy-6-phosphogluconate Aldolase in Complex with 2‑Keto-3-deoxy-6-phosphogluconate [PDF]
The thermoacidophilic archaea Picrophilus torridus and Sulfolobus solfataricus catabolize glucose via a nonphosphorylative Entner–Doudoroff pathway and a branched Entner–Doudoroff pathway, respectively. Key enzymes for these Entner–Doudoroff pathways are

Engineering Pseudomonas putida KT2440 for the production of isobutanol
Abstract We engineered P. putida for the production of isobutanol from glucose by preventing product and precursor degradation, inactivation of the soluble transhydrogenase SthA, overexpression of the native ilvC and ilvD genes, and implementation of the feedback‐resistant acetolactate synthase AlsS from Bacillus subtilis, ketoacid decarboxylase KivD ...
