Pathway redesign for Deoxyviolacein biosynthesis in Citrobacter freundii and characterization of this pigment

Appl Microbiol Biotechnol 2012 Jun;94(6):1521-32.PMID:22391969DOI:10.1007/s00253-012-3960-0.

Violacein (Vio) is an important purple pigment with many potential bioactivities. Deoxyviolacein, a structural analog of Vio, is always synthesized in low concentrations with Vio in wild-type bacteria. Due to Deoxyviolacein's low production and difficulties in isolation and purification, little has been learned regarding its function and potential applications. This study was the first effort in developing a stable and efficient biosynthetic system for producing pure Deoxyviolacein. A recombinant plasmid with vioabce genes was constructed by splicing using an overlapping extension-polymerase chain reaction, based on the Vio-synthesizing gene cluster of vioabcde, originating from Duganella sp. B2, and was introduced into Citrobacter freundii. With the viod gene disrupted in the Vio synthetic pathway, Vio production was completely abolished and the recombinant C. freundii synthesized only Deoxyviolacein. Interestingly, vioe gene expression was strongly stimulated in the viod-deleted recombinant strain, indicating that viod disruptions could potentially induce polar effects upon the downstream vioe gene within this small operon. Deoxyviolacein production by this strain reached 1.9 g/L in shaker flasks. The product exhibited significant acid/alkali and UV resistance as well as significant inhibition of hepatocellular carcinoma cell proliferation at low concentrations of 0.1-1 μM. These physical characteristics and antitumor activities of Deoxyviolacein contribute to illuminating its potential applications.

Antiplasmodial and trypanocidal activity of violacein and Deoxyviolacein produced from synthetic operons

BMC Biotechnol 2018 Apr 11;18(1):22.PMID:29642881DOI:10.1186/s12896-018-0428-z.

Background: Violacein is a deep violet compound that is produced by a number of bacterial species. It is synthesized from tryptophan by a pathway that involves the sequential action of 5 different enzymes (encoded by genes vioA to vioE). Violacein has antibacterial, antiparasitic, and antiviral activities, and also has the potential of inducing apoptosis in certain cancer cells. Results: Here, we describe the construction of a series of plasmids harboring the complete or partial violacein biosynthesis operon and their use to enable production of violacein and Deoxyviolacein in E.coli. We performed in vitro assays to determine the biological activity of these compounds against Plasmodium, Trypanosoma, and mammalian cells. We found that, while Deoxyviolacein has a lower activity against parasites than violacein, its toxicity to mammalian cells is insignificant compared to that of violacein. Conclusions: We constructed E. coli strains capable of producing biologically active violacein and related compounds, and propose that Deoxyviolacein might be a useful starting compound for the development of antiparasite drugs.

Microbial production of the drugs violacein and Deoxyviolacein: analytical development and strain comparison

Biotechnol Lett 2012 Apr;34(4):717-20.PMID:22187076DOI:10.1007/s10529-011-0827-x.

Violacein and Deoxyviolacein display a broad range of interesting biological properties but their production is rarely distinguished due to the lack of suitable analytical methods. An HPLC method has been developed for the separation and quantification of violacein and Deoxyviolacein and can determine the content of both molecules in microbial cultures. A comparison of different production microorganisms, including recombinant Escherichia coli and the natural producer Janthinobacterium lividum, revealed that the formation of violacein and Deoxyviolacein is strain-specific but showed significant variation during growth although the ratio between the two compounds remained constant.

Intermediate-sensor assisted push-pull strategy and its application in heterologous Deoxyviolacein production in Escherichia coli

Metab Eng 2016 Jan;33:41-51.PMID:26506462DOI:10.1016/j.ymben.2015.10.006.

Because high-throughput screening tools are typically unavailable when using the pathway-engineering approach, we developed a new strategy, named intermediate sensor-assisted push-pull strategy, which enables sequential pathway optimization by incorporating a biosensor targeting a key pathway intermediate. As proof of concept, we constructed an L-Trp biosensor and used it to optimize the Deoxyviolacein biosynthetic pathway, which we divided into two modules with L-Trp being the product of the upstream and the substrate of the downstream module for Deoxyviolacein synthesis. Using the biosensor and fluorescence-activated cell sorting, the activities of the two modules were sequentially and independently optimized in Escherichia coli to achieve the desired phenotypes. By this means, we increased the Deoxyviolacein titer 4.4-fold (1.92 g/L), which represents the greatest Deoxyviolacein production reported. This work suggests that a biosynthetic pathway can be enhanced to produce a value-added secondary metabolite(s) without available end-product screening method by using a central metabolic junction molecule biosensor(s).

Systems metabolic engineering of Escherichia coli for gram scale production of the antitumor drug Deoxyviolacein from glycerol

Biotechnol Bioeng 2014 Nov;111(11):2280-9.PMID:24889673DOI:10.1002/bit.25297.

Deoxyviolacein is a microbial drug with biological activity against tumors, gram-positive bacteria, and fungal plant pathogens. Here, we describe an Escherichia coli strain for heterologous production of this high-value drug from glycerol. Plasmid-based expression of the Deoxyviolacein cluster vioABCE was controlled by the araBAD promoter and induction by L-arabinose. Through elimination of L-arabinose catabolism in E. coli, the pentose sugar could be fully directed to induction of Deoxyviolacein biosynthesis and was no longer metabolized, as verified by (13) C isotope experiments. Deletion of the araBAD genes beneficially complemented with previously described (i) engineering of the pentose phosphate pathway, (ii) chorismate biosynthesis, (iii) tryptophan biosynthesis, (iv) improved supply of L-serine, (v) elimination of tryptophan repression, and (vi) of tryptophan catabolism. Subsequent screening of the created next-generation producer E. coli dVio-8 identified glycerol as optimum carbon source and a level of 100 mg L(-1) of L-arabinose as optimum for induction. Transferred to a glycerol-based fed-batch process, E. coli dVio-8 surpassed the gram scale and produced 1.6 g L(-1) Deoxyviolacein. With straightforward extraction from culture broth and purification by flash chromatography, Deoxyviolacein was obtained at >99.5% purity. Biotechnol.
