L-5-Methyltetrahydrofolate (L-5-MTHF) is the only biol. active form of folate in the human body. Production of L-5-MTHF by using microbes is an emerging consideration for green synthesis. However, microbes naturally produce only a small amount of L-5-MTHF. Here, Escherichia coli BL21(DE3) was engineered to increase the production of L-5-MTHF by overexpressing the intrinsic genes of dihydrofolate reductase and methylenetetrahydrofolate (methylene-THF) reductase, introducing the genes encoding formate-THF ligase, formyl-THF cyclohydrolase and methylene-THF dehydrogenase from the one-carbon metabolic pathway of Methylobacterium extorquens or Clostridium autoethanogenum and disrupting the gene of methionine synthase involved in the consumption and synthesis inhibition of the target product. Thus, upon its native pathway, an addnl. pathway for L-5-MTHF synthesis was developed in E. coli, which was further analyzed and confirmed by qRT-PCR, enzyme assays and metabolite determination After optimizing the conditions of induction time, temperature, cell d. and concentration of IPTG and supplementing exogenous substances (folic acid, sodium formate and glucose) to the culture, the highest yield of 527.84 μg g-1 of dry cell weight for L-5-MTHF was obtained, which was about 11.8 folds of that of the original strain. This study paves the way for further metabolic engineering to improve the biosynthesis of L-5-MTHF in E. coli. This study involved multiple reactions and reactants, such as (2R,3R,4S,5R,6S)-2-(Hydroxymethyl)-6-(isopropylthio)tetrahydro-2H-pyran-3,4,5-triol (cas: 367-93-1Application of 367-93-1).
(2R,3R,4S,5R,6S)-2-(Hydroxymethyl)-6-(isopropylthio)tetrahydro-2H-pyran-3,4,5-triol (cas: 367-93-1) belongs to alcohols. Under appropriate conditions, inorganic acids also react with alcohols to form esters. To form these esters, a wide variety of specialized reagents and conditions can be used. Tertiary alcohols cannot be oxidized at all without breaking carbon-carbon bonds, whereas primary alcohols can be oxidized to aldehydes or further oxidized to carboxylic acids.Application of 367-93-1
