Application

EC Number Application Comment Organism
2.7.7.64 synthesis in mammals, uridine 5'-diphosphate-glucose (UDP-Glc) and uridine 5'-diphosphate-glucuronic acid (UDP-GlcA) are common building blocks of glycans and glycoconjugates. The commercial demand for these high-energy donors is increasing. To produce valuable UDP-GlcA in a cost-effective way, UDP-sugar pyrophosphorylase from Arabidopsis thaliana is constitutively expressed in Pichia pastoris and secreted into the extracellular medium. The synthesis of 4.2 g UDP-GlcA or 5.5 g UDP-Glc per liter of culture is revealed in the culture medium, without any need for purification. An anion exchange chromatography purification method for UDP-sugars is also developed. This route opens a door to large-scale production of the cheaper UDP-GlcA Arabidopsis thaliana

2.7.7.64 additional information functional UDP-sugar diphosphorylase from Arabidopsis thaliana, constitutively expressed in Pichia pastoris and secreted into the extracellular medium, is used for synthesis of UDP-alpha-D-glucuronate, purification of the UDP-sugar from medium by anion exchange chromatography. Purification and assay methods optimization, overview. The fermentation of Pichia pastoris strain SMD1168H-C-AtUSP is performed at 30°C and pH 7.0 throughout the procedure, 20% glucose is supplemented at a rate of 9 ml/h, and DO is maintained at over 20%. After 60 h, the cell wet weight stabilizes (a wet weight of 276.7 g/l is obtained at 96 h). The crude enzyme activity increases up to 84 h, then it is stabilized, with activity 1601 U/ml. Thus, USP activity increases in 5-l fermenter compared with that in shaken flasks. The optimal temperature is around 35°C, lower than the optimal temperature of enzymatic reaction by purified AtUSP (45°C), while the optimal pH value and metal ion conditions are close to those of the purified enzyme system Arabidopsis thaliana
