Figure 1 Reaction of GlyA and GCV system
659
GlyA is PLP-dependent enzyme and catalyzes conversion of Ser to Gly, while transferring
660
the hydroxymethyl group to tetrahydrofolate (THF), and generates 5, 10-methyl-
661
tetrahydrofolate (5,10-mTHF). GCV system cleaves Gly to CO2, ammonia and provides
662
5,10-mTHF. GlyA and GCV reactions require PLP. In the wild-type E. coli, GlyA can
663
provide most of the 5,10-mTHF (Meedele et al., 1974). In the absence of glyA, GCV
664
system provides 5,10-mTHF for one-carbon biosynthesis.

the growth of the glyA (A). Other nucleotides and amino acids did not significantly affect

When grown in the M9-Gly medium, the amino acid pool of serA yggS strain was
694
significantly different from that of serA strain. Experiments were performed in triplicate,
695
and data are represented as the fold-change. (*p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p <0.001, *P <

grown in the M9-Gly medium, the growth of serA yggS double mutant was further

(pBAD), pBAD-pdxH, pBAD-gcvTHP (gcvTHP+), or pBAD-gcvP (gcvP+) plasmid
710
(pdxH+) were compared in the M9+Ser or M9+Gly medium. Expression of gcvT-gcvH-
30
711
gcvP (gcvTHP+), gcvP, or pdxH was induced by 0.2% or 0.02% arabinose, respectively.
712
The expression of pdxH, gcvT-gcvH-gcvP, or gcvP significantly improved the growth of
713
serA yggS double mutant in the M9-Gly medium. Note that growth of serA mutant strain
714
was not significantly affected by the overexpression of gcvP or pdxH. (E, F) Growth of

serA and serA pdxH double mutant in a (E) M9-Ser + 10 M PL or (F) M9-Gly + 10 M

PL medium. The serA pdxH double mutant exhibited lethality in the M9-Gly + 10 M PL
717
medium. Cells growth was recorded by the OD-Monitor C&T apparatus (panels C, D) or
718
the ELx808 (panels A, B, E, F) using 96-wells plate.

Fig. 7 Estimation of free B6 levels in the serA yggS mutant
722
The serA or serA yggS double mutant was cultivated in the M9+Gly medium. The cells
723
were disrupted and centrifuged. The resultant cell-free fraction was passed through the
724
centrifugal filter device (10 kDa-cut off) and obtained the protein-free fraction. The B6
725
levels in the cell-free fraction (total B6) or the protein-free-fraction were determined as
726
described in the Experimental procedure. In the serA yggS mutant, most of the PNP was
727
presented as free-form and the concentration was almost identical to the free PLP
728
concentration.

731
GCV activity was measured in the presence of (A) 5 M or (B) 50 M of added PLP, and
732
various concentrations of PNP (0, 5, 50, or 250 M). Cell-free extract of glyA strain grown
733
in the M9-Gly medium was used for the analyses. No GCV activity was detected in the
734
absence of added PLP. (C) Effect of PNP on GlyA activity was also assayed using a
735
purified GlyA in the presence of 5 M PLP and various concentration of PNP. (D) Effect
736
of PNP on GCV activity of B. subtilis was also assayed using cell-free extract in the
737
presence of 5 M PLP and various concentration of PNP. Experiments were performed
31
738
in triplicate, and data represent the averages and standard deviations of the means.

Deletion of yggS in E. coli induces accumulation of PNP by unidentified mechanism.
743
High-levels of PNP compete with PLP and inhibit GCV system. Disruption of GCV
744
system can decrease 5,10-mTHF supply, which may decrease flux into pantothenate
745
production and increase flux for Val production. Val stimulates threonine dehydratase
746
(IlvA) to produce more 2-ketobutyrate (2-KB) as a precursor for 2-aminobutyrate (2-AB),
747
Ile, and ophthalmic acid (OA).
