CELL FACTORIES FOR IMPROVED PRODUCTION OF COMPOUNDS AND PROTEINS DEPENDENT ON IRON SULFUR CLUSTERS

The invention relates to a genetically modified prokaryotic cell capable of improved iron-sulfur cluster delivery, characterized by a modified gene encoding a mutant Iron Sulfur Cluster Regulator (IscR) and one or more transgenes or upregulated endogenous genes encoding iron-sulfur (Fe—S) cluster polypeptides or proteins that catalyze complex radical-mediated molecular rearrangements, electron transfer, radical or non-redox reactions, sulfur donation or perform regulatory functions. The prokaryotic cells are characterized by enhanced activity of these iron-sulfur (Fe—S) cluster polypeptides, enhancing their respective functional capacity, and facilitating enhanced yields of compounds in free and protein-bound forms, including heme, hemoproteins, tetrapyrroles, B vitamins, amino acids, δ-aminolevulinic acid, biofuels, isoprenoids, pyrroloquinoline quinone, ammonia, indigo, or their precursors, whose biosynthesis depends on their activity. The invention further relates to a method for producing said compounds or their precursors using the genetically modified prokaryotic cell of the invention, and the use of the genetically modified prokaryotic cell.

Cofactor self-sufficient <i>Escherichia coli </i>and construction method and application thereof

A cofactor self-sufficient Escherichia coli and its construction method and application in the synthesis of L-glufosinate are provided. The present invention expresses a NADH kinase and key enzymes of the cofactor synthesis pathway in E. coli, and knocks out the genes of enzymes that catabolizes cofactor, and with the addition of co-metabolic intermediates during cell incubation, the intracellular NADP(H) concentration is increased by at least 50% and the catalytic activity of glufosinate dehydrogenase by 2-fold, resulting in a significant increase in the spatiotemporal yield of the glufosinate synthesis reaction.
