THE DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The biosynthesis of 5-ALA occurs in two different ways (Figure 1 ):
(1) Using succinyl-CoA and glycine (Shemin or C-4 pathway).
(2) Using glutamate (C-5 pathway).
In C-4 pathway, the key enzyme for the synthesis of 5-ALA from glycine and succinyl CoA is ALA synthetase (ALAS; succinyl-CoA:glycine C-succinyltransferase (decarboxylating); EC 2.3.1.37) [BEALE, 2006]. There are two genes, hemA and hemT, encoding ALA synthetase in Rhodobacter sphaeroides 2.4.1 . These genes encode the two isozymes of the ALA synthetase and while hemA is found on chromosome I, hemT is located on chromosome II [ZEILSTRA-RYALLS, 1996]. Based on these, it can be asserted that Rhodobacter sphaeroides O.U. 001 has also the genes coding for these enzymes and can produce 5-ALA using C-4 pathway.
The production of 5-ALA through C-5 pathway which is the second 5-ALA production pathway seen in living things occurs in three steps:
Glutamyl-t-RNA Glutamyl-t-RNA GSA amino-
Synthetase Reductase transferase
Glutamate _-_____^GIutamyl t-RNA Glutamate-l-semialdehyde(GSA) ALA
The bacteria like Escherichia coli, Caldicellulosiruptor saccharolyticus and Corynebacterium glutamicum possessing the three enzymes given above and the related genes synthesize ALA using C-5 pathway. When the porphyrin and chlorophyll metabolisms are examined using genome sequence databases, it is seen that certain bacteria synthesizing ALA using C-4 pathway have some enzymes
of the C-5 pathway as well (Figure 2). One of these bacteria is Rhodobacter sphaeroides 2.4.1 strain.
It was observed that though Rhodobacter sphaeroides synthesize ALA using C-4 pathway, it has also the first (glutamyl-tRNA synthetase, RSP_0797, NCBI-GenelD: 3718415, [EC:6.1.1.17]) and the third (Glutamate-1-semialdehyde aminotransferase, RSP_1569, NCBI-GenelD: 3718596, [EC:5.4.3.8]) enzymes of the C-5 pathway. But, interestingly the second enzyme, glutamyl t-RNA reductase, is absent in this bacterium.
The gene coding for glutamyl t-RNA reductase enzyme (second enzyme) was taken from Rhodospirillum rubrum (DSM 467, ATCC 1 1170) by genetic engineering techniques and transferred to Rhodobacter sphaeroides O.U.001. In this way, in addition to C-4 pathway, C-5 pathway was enabled to function upon assembling all the genes of C-5 pathway. Consequently, a new and unique bacterial strain producing 5-ALA at different conditions was developed. This bacterial strain possessed the genes (enzymes) of both pathways and produced more 5-ALA. Since C-5 pathway was also active in this new bacterial strain in addition to C-4 pathway, more 5-ALA accumulation became possible. It will be possible to use 5- ALA in many areas upon high 5-ALA production. The stages of the development of this new bacterial strain are as follows:
1. The genomic DNA was obtained from Rhodospirillum rubrum (DSM 467, ATCC 11 170).
2. The glutamyl t-RNA reductase gene which is 181 1 bp long was synthesized by Polymerase Chain Reaction using designed primers (Figure 3). (Left primer: 5- GAATTCGTCACCACCGATCT-3; right primer: 5-GGCTCAGGTTCTCTTCCAAA-3).
3. The synthesized glutamyl t-RNA reductase gene was cloned into EcoRV site of pBBR MCS2 (5144 bp, Figure 4) [KOVACH, 1995].
4. Glutamyl t-RNA reductase gene cloned pBBR1 MCS2 was delivered to Rhodobacter sphaeroides O.U.001 by conjugation.
5. After performing Reverse-Transcriptase Polymerase Chain Reaction using designed primers (left: 5-GCGTGGAGATCTTTGGTCAT-3, right: 5- TTGACCTGCCCCAAAATATG-3), it was determined that glutamyl t-RNA reductase gene was transcribed in Rhodobacter sphaeroides O.U.001 (Figure 5). 6. The production of 5-ALA with Rhodobacter sphaeroides O.U.001 containing pBBR MCS2- glutamyl t-RNA reductase was performed. Sugar beet molasses was used as substrate. After the bacteria were inoculated into the medium prepared by using molasses at 27.5 g/L sugar concentration, the production of 5-ALA was performed under anaerobic conditions at 29 °C under light. 7. In the studies, Rhodobacter sphaeroides O.U.001 transferred with pBBR1 MCS2 which does not contain glutamyl t-RNA reductase gene was used as control.
8. According to the 5-ALA measurement results obtained by a colorimetric method [MAUZERALL, 1956], while Rhodobacter sphaeroides O.U.001 containing pBBR1 MCS2-glutamyl t-RNA reductase gene produced 16.52 mM 5-ALA, Rhodobacter sphaeroides O.U.001 transferred with pBBR1 MCS2 which does not contain glutamyl t-RNA reductase gene produced 7.93 mM 5-ALA. Based on the results, it was proven that C-5 pathway was enabled in addition to C-4 pathway after assembling all the genes of C-5 pathway by transferring glutamyl t-RNA reductase gene into Rhodobacter sphaeroides O.U.001 and thus more 5-ALA generation was achieved.
