摘要
Further steps required for overproduction of aromatic amino acids by a mutant strain of Nocardia sp. 239 (Noc 87-13), unable to grow on l-phenylalanine as a sole carbon and energy source, were investigated. A number of analogues of the aromatic amino acids displayed severe inhibitory effects on the activities of regulatory enzymes in the biosynthetic pathway and growth of the organism in glucose mineral medium. l-Tryptophane analogues strongly inhibited 3-deoxy-d-arabino-heptulosonate 7-phosphate (DAHP) synthase activity. l-Tyrosine analogues especially inhibited DAHP synthase and chorismate mutase, whereas l-phenylalanine analogues strongly inhibited chorismate mutase and prephenate dehydratase activity. Addition of the aromatic amino acids and their precursors chorismate, 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate, phenylpyruvate and anthranilate, to the medium counteracted the growth inhibitory effect of specific analogues. The data indicate that ortho- (OFP) and para-fluoro-d, l-phenylalanine (PFP), and l-phenylalanine amide, are the most suitable analogues for the isolation of feedback-inhibition-insensitive prephenate dehydratase mutants. Attempts to isolate l-tyrosine and l-trytophane auxotrophic mutants were only successful in the latter case, resulting in the selection of a stable anthranilate synthase-negative mutant (Noc 87-13-14). Uptake of aromatic amino acids in Nocardia sp. 239 most likely involves a common transport system. This necessitates the use of anthranilate, rather than l-trytophane, as a supplement during the isolation of l-tyrosine auxotrophic and OFP- and/or PFP-resistant mutant derivative strains of Noc 87-13-14. © 1990 Springer-Verlag.
