The sequence of the first 25 residues of the homoserine dehydrogenase fragment, produced by limited proteolysis of aspartokinase I-homoserine dehydrogenase I with substilisin, has been determined. The sequence of a cyanogen bromide peptide (CB5, 59 residues), isolated from the entire protein, is also presented. Residues 1 to 18 of the subtilisin homoserine dehydrogenase fragment match the sequence 42 to 59 of peptide CB5.

L-isoleucine is synthesized from 2-ketobutyrate and pyruvate in Corynebacterium glutamicum, and the supplies of these two precursors are important for L-isoleucine synthesis. C. glutamicum YILWΔalaT with alaT gene deletion (encoding alanine aminotransferase, a principal enzyme for L-alanine synthesis) was constructed to increase intracellular pyruvate availability, and the thrABC genes from Escherichia coli (encoding bifunctional aspartate kinase I-homoserine dehydrogenase I, homoserine kinase, and threonine synthetase) were overexpressed in C.

Deregulation of allosteric inhibition of enzymes is a challenge for strain engineering and has been achieved so far primarily by random mutation and trial-and-error. In this work, we used aspartokinase, an important allosteric enzyme for industrial amino acids production, to demonstrate a predictive approach that combines protein dynamics and evolution for a rational reengineering of enzyme allostery. Molecular dynamic simulation of aspartokinase III (AK3) from Escherichia coli and statistical coupling analysis of protein sequences of the aspartokinase family allowed to identify a cluster of residues which are correlated during protein motion and coupled during the evolution.

In our effort to elucidate the systems biology of the model organism, Escherichia coli, we have developed a mathematical model that simulates the allosteric regulation for threonine biosynthesis pathway starting from aspartate. To achieve this goal, we used kMech, a Cellerator language extension that describes enzyme mechanisms for the mathematical modeling of metabolic pathways. These mechanisms are converted by Cellerator into ordinary differential equations (ODEs) solvable by Mathematica.

The coding regions for the Escherichia coli gene for aspartokinase I/homoserine dehydrogenase I (thrA) and the Corynebacterium glutamicum gene for aspartic semialdehyde dehydrogenase (asd) have been subcloned into a Simian Virus 40 (SV40)-based mammalian expression vector. Both enzyme activities are expressed in mouse 3T3 cells after transfer of the corresponding chimaeric gene. The kinetic parameters are similar to those of the native bacterial enzymes, and aspartokinase I/homoserine dehydrogenase I retains its allosteric regulation by threonine.
