ABSTRACT
The identification of a gene (
yiaE
) encoding 2-ketoaldonate reductase (2KR) in our previous work led to the hypothesis that
Escherichia coli
has other ketogluconate reductases including 2,5-diketo-
d
-gluconate reductase (25DKGR) and to study of the related ketogluconate metabolism. By using the deduced amino acid sequences of 5-diketo-
d
-gluconate reductase (5KDGR) of
Gluconobacter oxydans
and 25DKGR of
Corynebacterium
sp., protein databases were screened to detect homologous proteins. Among the proteins of
E. coli
, an oxidoreductase encoded by
yjgU
and having 56% similarity to 5KDGR of
G. oxydans
and two hypothetical oxidoreductases encoded by
yqhE
and
yafB
and having 49.8 and 42% similarity, respectively, to 25DKGR of
Corynebacterium
sp. were detected. Recently, the
yjgU
gene was identified as encoding 5KDGR and renamed
idnO
(C. Bausch, N. Peekhaus, C. Utz, T. Blais, E. Murray, T. Lowary, and T. Conway, J. Bacteriol. 180:3704–3710, 1998). The pathways involved in the metabolism of ketogluconate by
E. coli
have been predicted by biochemical analysis of purified enzymes and chemical analysis of the pathway intermediates. The gene products of
yqhE
and
yafB
were identified as 25DKGR-A, and 25DKGR-B, respectively, catalyzing the reduction of 25KDG to 2-keto-
l
-gulonate (2KLG). The native 25DKGR-A, 25DKGR-B, and 5KDGR had apparent molecular weights of about 30,000, 30,000, and 54,000, respectively. In sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis gels, all three enzymes showed protein bands with a molecular weight of about 29,000, which indicated that 25DKGR-A, 25DKGR-B, and 5KDGR may exist as monomeric, monomeric, and dimeric proteins, respectively. The optimum pHs for reduction were 7.5, 7.0, and 8.0, respectively. The 5KDGR was active with NADH, whereas 25DKGR-A and 25DKGR-B were active with NADPH as a preferred electron donor. 25DKG can be converted to 5KDG by 2KR, which is then reduced to
d
-gluconate by 5KDGR. The pathways were compared with those of
Erwinia
sp. and
Corynebacterium
sp. A BLAST search of published and incomplete microbial genome sequences revealed that the ketogluconate reductases and their related metabolism may be widespread in many species.

大肠杆菌
通过对纯化酶的生化分析和途径中间产物的化学分析,预测了大肠杆菌代谢酮基葡萄糖酸盐的途径。其中
yqhE
和
yafB
的基因产物分别被鉴定为 25DKGR-A 和 25DKGR-B,它们催化 25KDG 还原为 2-keto-
l
-丙酮酸(2KLG)。原生 25DKGR-A、25DKGR-B 和 5KDGR 的表观分子量分别约为 30,000、30,000 和 54,000。在十二烷基硫酸钠-聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳凝胶中,三种酶都显示出分子量约为 29,000 的蛋白质条带,这表明 25DKGR-A、25DKGR-B 和 5KDGR 可能分别以单体、单体和二聚体蛋白质的形式存在。还原的最佳 pH 值分别为 7.5、7.0 和 8.0。5KDGR 在 NADH 的作用下具有活性,而 25DKGR-A 和 25DKGR-B 在 NADPH 作为首选电子供体时具有活性。25DKG 可通过 2KR 转化为 5KDG,然后被还原为
d
-葡萄糖酸。将这些途径与
Erwinia
和
和 Corynebacterium
通过对已发表的和不完整的微生物基因组序列进行 BLAST 搜索,发现酮基葡萄糖酸还原酶及其相关代谢可能广泛存在于许多物种中。
