Intracellular 2-keto-3-deoxy-6-phosphogluconate is the signal for carbon catabolite repression of phenylacetic acid metabolism in Pseudomonas putida KT2440.
    Microbiology (Reading, England), 2009, Volume: 155, Issue:Pt 7

    The growth pattern of Pseudomonas putida KT2440 in the presence of glucose and phenylacetic acid (PAA), where the sugar is used in preference to the aromatic compound, suggests that there is carbon catabolite repression (CCR) of PAA metabolism by glucose or gluconate. Furthermore, CCR is regulated at the transcriptional level. However, this CCR phenomenon does not occur in PAA-amended minimal medium containing fructose, pyruvate or succinate. We previously identified 2-keto-3-deoxy-6-phosphogluconate (KDPG) as an inducer of glucose metabolism, and this has led to this investigation into the role of KDPG as a signal compound for CCR. Two mutant strains, the edd mutant (non-KDPG producer) and the eda mutant (KDPG overproducer), grew in the presence of PAA but not in the presence of glucose. The edd mutant utilized PAA even in the presence of glucose, indicating that CCR had been abolished. This observation has additional support from the finding that there is high phenylacetyl-CoA ligase activity in the edd mutant, even in the presence of glucose+PAA, but not in wild-type cells under the same conditions. Unlike the edd mutant, the eda mutant did not grow in the presence of glucose+PAA. Interestingly, there was no uptake and/or metabolism of PAA in the eda mutant cells under the same conditions. Targeted disruption of PaaX, a repressor of the PAA operon, had no effect on CCR of PAA metabolism in the presence of glucose, suggesting that there is another transcriptional repression system associated with the KDPG signal. This is the first study to demonstrate that KDPG is the true CCR signal of PAA metabolism in P. putida KT2440.

Dual regulation of zwf-1 by both 2-keto-3-deoxy-6-phosphogluconate and oxidative stress in Pseudomonas putida.
    Microbiology (Reading, England), 2008, Volume: 154, Issue:Pt 12

    Northern blot analysis and a GFP-based reporter assay showed that zwf-1, which encodes glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, was highly induced when Pseudomonas putida KT2440 was cultured in minimal medium containing glucose or gluconate. However, zwf-1 expression was not detected in the presence of pyruvate or succinate. The use of a knockout mutant of HexR, a putative transcription regulator, resulted in constitutively high expression of zwf-1, regardless of the carbon source. An electrophoretic mobility shift assay showed that HexR protein binds to the zwf-1 promoter region and that HexR binding is inhibited by 2-keto-3-deoxy-6-phosphogluconate (KDPG). Despite the presence of gluconate, the edd mutant (non-KDPG producer) was not able to induce the zwf-1 gene. The eda mutant (KDPG overproducer) featured a constitutively high level of zwf-1 expression. Interestingly, zwf-1 was also highly expressed in the presence of oxidative stress-inducing reagents. The level of zwf-1 induction in wild-type cells undergoing oxidative stress did not differ significantly from that observed with the hexR mutant under normal conditions. Interestingly, the hexR mutant was more tolerant of oxidative stress than the wild-type. Expression of zwf-1 was induced by oxidative stress in the edd mutant. Thus, KDPG, a real inducer of zwf-1 gene expression, was not necessary for oxidative-stress induction. In vitro binding of HexR to its cognate promoter region was diminished by menadione and cumene hydroperoxide. The data suggested that HexR might be a dual-sensing regulator of zwf-1 induction that is able to respond to both KDPG and oxidative stress.

Microbial synthesis of 3-deoxy-D-erythro-hex-2-ulosonic acid 6-phosphate.
    Carbohydrate research, 1993, Apr-07, Volume: 242

    A microbial route was explored for the synthesis of 3-deoxy-D-erythro-hex-2-ulosonic acid 6-phosphate (2-keto-3-deoxy-6-phosphogluconate, KDPG). Two strains of bacteria, Alcaligenes eutrophus H16 F34 (DSM 529) and Escherichia coli DF 71 (CGSC 4880), lacking in KDPG-aldolase activity were tested for excretion of KDPG. Using pyruvate and gluconate as carbon sources, Alcaligenes eutrophus H16 F34 accumulated and excreted 3-deoxy-D-erythro-hexulosonic acid 6-phosphate into the culture broth, while the E. coli strain, using pyruvate and glucuronate, failed. KDPG was isolated from the culture supernatant of Alcaligenes eutrophus H16 F34 in 78% yield and 5 g scale with respect to the consumed gluconate.

Gluconate metabolism of Pasteurellapestis.
    Journal of bacteriology, 1962, Volume: 84

    Mortlock, R. P. (U.S. Army Chemical Corps, Frederick, Md.). Gluconate metabolism of Pasteurella pestis. J. Bacteriol. 84:53-59. 1962.-During a study of gluconate metabolism by a virulent strain of Pasteurella pestis, evidence was obtained for the presence of gluconokinase, 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase, transketolase, and 2-keto-3-deoxy-6-phosphogluconate dehydrase in cell-free extracts. A study of the products of 6-phosphogluconate degradation by extracts indicated that 6-phosphogluconate was metabolized by both the 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase-transketolase pathway and the Entner-Doudoroff pathway. No evidence could be obtained for the presence of an active glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase.
