Massively parallel fitness profiling reveals multiple novel enzymes in Pseudomonas putida lysine metabolism.
-
HglS catalyzes conversion of 2-oxoadipate to D-2-hydroxyglutarate
"involves the direct conversion of 2OA to d-2HG"
-
HglS is essential for growth on lysine isomers
"A ΔPP_5260 strain was unable to grow on either isomer of lysine"
-
HglS is involved in D-lysine catabolic pathway
"PP_5260, showed a significant fitness defect...near other d-lysine catabolic genes in the P. putida genome"
-
HglS shows high substrate specificity and kinetic parameters
"Kcat values for their given substrates (330 m−1 for PP_5260"
-
HglS expression is induced by lysine derivatives
"All five d-lysine pathway proteins examined (AmaA [PP_5257], AmaB [PP_5258], PP_4108, YdcJ [PP_5260], and YdiJ [PP_4493[) were upregulated when grown on l-lysine, d-lysine, or 2AA compared to the glucose control"
