Overexpression of bacteriophage T4 and T7 endolysins differentially regulate the metabolic fingerprint of host Escherichia coli.
International journal of biological macromolecules(2022)
摘要
Bioactive proteins are often overexpressed in different host systems for biotechnological/biomedical applications. Endolysins are natural bactericidal proteins that cleave the bacterial peptidoglycan membrane, and have the potential to be the next-generation enzybiotics. Therefore, the present study aims to elucidate the impact of two endolysins (T4L, T7L) overexpression on metabolic fingerprint of E. coli using NMR spectroscopy. The 1H NMR-based metabolomics analysis revealed global metabolite profiles of E. coli in response to endolysins. The study has identified nearly 75 metabolites, including organic acids, amino acids, sugars and nucleic acids. RNA Polymerase (RNAP) has been considered as reference protein for marking the specific alterations in metabolic pathways. The data suggested downregulation of central carbon metabolic pathway in both endolysins overexpression, but to a different extent. Also, the endolysin overexpression have highlighted the enhanced metabolic load and stress generation in the host cells, thus leading to the activation of osmoregulatory pathways. The overall changes in metabolic fingerprint of E. coli highlights the enhanced perturbations during the overexpression of T4L as compared to T7L. These untargeted metabolic studies shed light on the regulation of molecular pathways during the heterologous overexpression of these lytic enzymes that are lethal to the host.
