Revealing the Promoting Effect of Betaine on Vitamin B12 Biosynthetic Pathway of Pseudomonas denitrificans by Using a Proteomics Analysis
Abstract
Background: Our previous comparative metabolomics research revealed that betaine (N,N,Ntrimethylglycine, a typically essential methyl-group donor for vitamin B12 biosynthesis) had powerful promoting effect on the generation of vitamin B12 precursors and intermediates in vitamin B12-producing Pseudomonas denitrificans. However, the integral effect of betaine on the vitamin B12 biosynthetic pathway is still unclear.
Objectives: Considering the vitamin B12 biosynthetic pathway of P. denitrificans as a whole, this work aimed to reveal the biological function of betaine on the vitamin B12 biosynthetic pathway in P. denitrificans, which would sharpen and expand understanding of betaine as the methyl-group donor for vitamin B12 biosynthesis.
Materials and methods: By using a proteomics method based on the iTRAQ technique, the present study compared and analyzed the differential expression of proteins involved in vitamin B12 biosynthetic pathway under 10 g/L betaine in addition to P. denitrificans fermentation medium.
Results: The results showed that betaine could significantly up-regulate the expression of proteins related to the vitamin B12 biosynthetic pathway, which was mainly reflected in the following three aspects: 1) the δ-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) synthase and porphobilinogen synthase that were responsible for the formation of the committed precursors for tetrapyrrole-derived macrocycle in vitamin B12 molecule; 2) the C-methylation-related enzymes (such as precorrin-4 C(11)-methyltransferase, precorrin-2 C(20)- methyltransferase, precorrin-8X methylmutase, and precorrin-6Y C5,15-methyltransferase) and methionine synthase that were crucial to the C-methylation reactions for vitamin B12 biosynthesis; 3) the latestage key enzymes (Cobaltochelatase, and Cob(I)yrinic acid a,c-diamide adenosyltransferase) that were related to cobalt chelation of vitamin B12 molecule.
Conclusion: The present study demonstrated clearly that betaine could significantly promote the expression of the integral enzymes involved in the vitamin B12 biosynthetic pathway of P. denitrificans, thus promoting vitamin B12 biosynthesis.
