Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Induction of protein degradation with down-regulation of transcription achieves rapid decrease of the enzyme activity. I tried to develop a high-efficient microbial shikimate production method by Corynebacterium glutamicum using this induction system. For this purpose, a degradation signal ssrA of E. coli was added to the C-term of shikimate kinase of C. glutamicum. Then the gene encoding the shikimate kinase (aroK) was put under the control of an inducible transcriptional repressor. With these gene manipulation, the system for shikimate production was developed that the microorganism could grow in the absence of an inducer, whereas the microorganism could accumulate shikimate in the presence of the inducer.
