additional information | to enhance L-ornithine production, the argJ gene from Corynebacterium glutamicum strain ATCC 13032 is overexpressed. In flask cultures, the resulting strain, Corynebacterium glutamicum strain 1006DELTAargR-argJ, produces 31.6 g/l L-ornithine, which is 54.15% more than that produced by wild-type strain 1006. The OAT activity of mutant strain 1006DELTAargR-argJ is significantly greater than that of wild-type strain 1006 | Corynebacterium glutamicum |

evolution | the arginine biosynthesis bifunctional protein ArgJ is cleaved via autoproteolysis into the arginine biosynthesis bifunctional protein ArgJ alpha chain and the arginine biosynthesis bifunctional protein ArgJ beta chain, which include the activities of glutamate N-acetyltransferase (EC 2.3.1.35, i.e. ornithine acetyltransferase, OATase, or ornithine transacetylase) and amino-acid acetyltransferase (EC 2.3.1.1, i.e. N-acetylglutamate synthase or AGSase) | Corynebacterium glutamicum |
metabolism | enzyme ArgJ strongly influences the production of L-ornithine in Corynebacterium glutamicum. L-Ornithine is a nonessential amino acid that is effective in treating liver diseases and in liver protection and wound healing and is capable of strengthening the heart. L-Ornithine is also an important constituent of the urea cycle. As the precursor of L-citrulline and L-arginine, L-ornithine is biosynthesized by the cyclic pathway in five steps through a series of acetylated intermediates in Corynebacterium glutamicum. In the ornithine biosynthetic pathway of Corynebacterium glutamicum, L-ornithine and N-acetylglutamate are produced by ornithine acetyltransferase (OATase, ArgJ) using acetylornithine and glutamate as substrates. Corynebacterium glutamicum possesses a monofunctional ArgJ protein that only exhibits OAT activity, lacks N-acetylglutamate synthetase activity, and only catalyses the fifth step of the L-citrulline biosynthesis pathway, in which glutamate is acetylated by the N-acetylglutamate synthase Cg3035. Inactivating ArgR decreases the feedback repression of L-ornithine synthesis and enhanced L-ornithine production in Corynebacterium glutamicum.

physiological function | L-ornithine is biosynthesized by the cyclic pathway in five steps through a series of acetylated intermediates in Corynebacterium glutamicum. In the ornithine biosynthetic pathway, L-ornithine and N-acetylglutamate are produced by ornithine acetyltransferase (OATase, ArgJ) using acetylornithine and L-glutamate as substrates. ArgJ recycles the acetyl group from acetylornithine.
