| metabolism | terpenoids are of high interest as chemical building blocks and pharmaceuticals. In microbes, terpenoids can be synthesized via the methylerythritol phosphate (MEP) or mevalonate (MVA) pathways. In the MEP pathway of Escherichia coli recombinantly expressing isoprene synthase (ispS) from Populus alba, the endogenous expression of 1-deoxyxylulose 5-phosphate synthase (Dxs) controls the flux through the MEP pathway increasing the 2-C-methyl-d-erythritol-2,4-cyclopyrophosphate (MEcPP) concentration to a higher amount compared to the other MEP pathway intermediates. Thus, 4-hydroxy-3-methylbut-2-en-1-yl diphosphate synthase (IspG), which consumes MEcPP, becomes saturated and therefore limits the flux towards isoprene. The higher intracellular concentrations of MEcPP lead to the efflux of this intermediate into the growth medium. Proteomic and metabolomic analysis of the MEP pathway, overview | Escherichia coli |
