Construction of a Vector Carrying the xylB Gene of Escherichia coli Capable for Transcription and Expression of D-xylulokinase

[0147]Chromosomal DNA from Escherichia coli strain XL1-Blue (Bullock et al. 1987; commercial source: Stratagene, LaJolla, Calif., USA) is isolated according to a method described by Meade et al. 1982.

[0148]The E. coli ORF xylB (accession no. gb AE000433) from base pair (bp) position 8596 to 10144 is amplified by PCR using chromosomal E. coli DNA as template. The reaction mixture contains 10 pmol of the primer 5′-CCGTCGGAATTCGAGGAGAAATTAACCATGTATATCGGGATAGATCTTGG-3′ (SEQ ID NO:1), 10 pmol of the primer 5′-GCAGTGAAGCTTTTACGCCATTAATGGCAGAAGTTGC-3′ (SEQ ID NO:2), 20 ng of chromosomal DNA, 2 U of Taq DNA polymerase (Eurogentec, Seraing, Belgium) and 20 nmol of dNTPs in a total volume of 100 μl containing 1.5 mM MgCl2, 50 mM KCl, 10 mM Tris-hydrochloride, pH 8.8 and 0.1% (w / w) Triton X-100.

[0149]The mixture is denaturated for 3 min at 94° C. Then 30 PCR cycles for ...

Construction of a Vector Carrying the XylB and dxr Genes of Escherichia coli Capable for Transcription and Expression of D-xylulokinase and DXP reductoisomerase

[0154]The E. coli ORF dxr (accession no. gb AE000126) from base pair (bp) position 9887 to 11083 is amplified by PCR using chromosomal E. coli DNA as template. The reaction mixture contains 10 pmol of the primer 5′-CTAGCCAAGCTTGAGGAGAAATTAACCATGAAGCAACTCACCATTCTGG-3′ (SEQ ID NO:3), 10 pmol of the primer 5′-GGAGATGTCGACTCAGCTTGCGAGACGC-3′ (SEQ ID NO:4), 20 ng of chromosomal DNA, 2 U of Taq DNA polymerase (Eurogentec) and 20 nmol of dNTPs in a total volume of 100 μl containing 1.5 mM MgCl2, 50 mM KCl, 10 mM Tris-hydrochloride, pH 8.8 and 0.1% (w / w) Triton X-100.

[0155]The mixture is denaturated for 3 min at 94° C. Then 30 PCR cycles for 60 sec at 94° C., 60 sec at 50° C. and 75 sec at 72° C. followed. After further incubation for 10 min at 72° C., the mixture is cooled to 4° C. An aliquot of 2 μl is subjected to agarose gel elec...

Abstract

The invention provides a protein in a form that is functional for the enzymatic conversion of 2C-methyl-D-erythritol 2,4-cyclodiphosphate to 1-hydroxy-2-methyl-2-butenyl 4-diphosphate notably in its (E)-form of the non-mevalonate biosynthetic pathway to isoprenoids. The invention also provides a protein in a form that is functional for the enzymatic conversion of 1-hydroxy-2-methyl-2-butenyl 4-diphosphate, notably in its (E)-form, to isopentenyl diphosphate and / or dimethylallyl diphosphate. Further, screening methods for inhibitors of these proteins are provided. Further, 1-hydroxy-2-methyl-2-butenyl 4-diphosphate is provided and chemical and enzymatic methods of its preparation.
