Phylogenetic and disruption analyses of aspartate kinase of ${it Deinococcus radiodurans}$

Nishida, Hiromi*; Narumi, Issei

Bioscience Biotechnology and Biochemistry, 71(4), p.1015 - 1020, 2007/04

 Times Cited Count:2 Percentile:10.84(Biochemistry & Molecular Biology)

The radioresistant bacterium ${it Deinococcus radiodurans}$ is evolutionarily closely related to the themophilic bacterium ${it Thermus thermophilus}$. These bacteria have a single gene encoding an aspartate kinase (AK). ${it T. thermophilus}$ has an aminoadipate pathway for lysine biosynthesis, which does not use AK. Phylogenetic analysis showed that ${it D. radiodurans}$ AK had different protein structure and different evolutionary history from ${it T. thermophilus}$ AK. Disruption analysis of ${it D. radiodurans}$ AK indicated that ${it D. radiodurans}$ AK was not used for lysine biosynthesis but for threonine and methionine biosyntheses. Thus these two AKs have different evolutionary origins, but their functions are not different.

Disruption analysis of ${it DR1420}$ and/or ${it DR1758}$ in the extremely radioresistant bacterium ${it Deinococcus radiodurans}$

Nashida, Hiromi*; Narumi, Issei

Microbiology, 148(9), p.2911 - 2914, 2002/09

The extremely radioresistant bacterium ${it Deinococcus radiodurans}$ has the related homologous genes to bacterial lysine biosyntheses both through the aminoadipate pathway and the diaminopimelate pathway. We disrupted ${it DR1420}$ and/or ${it DR1758}$. The ${it DR1420}$ is homologous to ${it lysZ}$ that is essential for the aminoadipate pathway. The ${it DR1758}$ is homologous to ${it lysA}$ that is essential for the diaminopimelate pathway. Each disruptant of ${it DR1420}$, ${it DR1758}$, and ${it DR1420}$ and ${it DR1758}$ grew in a minimal medium, as well as wild-type. This result shows that ${it Deinococcus radiodurans}$ employs a unique way for lysine biosynthesis.
