Fig. 1. Characterization of the tdh and kbl operon.

Fig. 1

a Operon formed by the tdh and kbl genes in Cupriavidus necator. Genes coding tdh and kbl are colored by orange and red, respectively. LC-HRMS analysis of acetyl-CoA (b), Gly (c), and EDMP (d). The following compounds and enzymes are contained in the reaction system: L-Thr, NAD+, and CoA (2500 μM) (black line); L-Thr, NAD+, CoA (2500 μM), CnTDH, and CnKBL (red line); L-Thr, NAD+, CoA (100 μM), CnTDH, and CnKBL (blue line); L-Thr, NAD+, CnTDH, and CnKBL (green line); and standard (magenta line). Enz. means that CnTDH and CnKBL are contained in the reaction condition. b Extracted ion count chromatogram for each compound is as follows: m/z of acetyl-CoA, Gly, and EDMP were 810.1330 ± 0.0030 [M + H]+ (b), 76.0393 ± 0.0020 [M + H]+ (c), and 137.1073 ± 0.0020 [M + H]+, respectively. e Schematic reaction pathway to produce EDMP by CnTDH and CnKBL. Utilizing L-Thr as a starting material, CnTDH and CnKBL can generate EDMP.
