additional information | phosphoserine aminotransferase (SerC) from Escherichia coli strain MG1655 is engineered to catalyze the deamination of homoserine to 4-hydroxy-2-oxobutyrate, a key reaction in producing 1,3-propanediol (1,3-PDO) from glucose in a distinct glycerol-independent metabolic pathway. An computation-based rational approach is used to change the substrate specificity of SerC from L-phosphoserine to L-homoserine, molecular dynamics simulations and virtual screening are combined to predict mutation sites. The coexpression of best mutant SerCR42W/R77W with Escherichia coli pyruvate decarboxylase and alcohol dehydrogenase results in production of 3.03 g/l of 1,3-PDO in fed-batch fermentation, which is 13fold higher than in the wild-type strain.
