5-Aminolevulinic acid (ALA) is the precursor of protoporphyrin IX (PP IX) in the heme biosynthesis pathway and has been suggested for photodiagnosis and photodynamic therapy of epithelial cancer. The Rhodobacter sphaeroides hemA gene encoding 5-aminolevulinic acid synthase (ALAS) was cloned into the expression vector pWHmA and transformed into Escherichia coli BL21(DE3) for its heterologous expression under the control of Bacillus xylA promoter. By introducing sopABC gene into pWHmA to make the expression plasmid become more stable, pGHmA plasmid was generated so that higher ALAS expression level and higher amount of ALA production was achieved. With the expression of ALAS and addition of glycine and succinate as substrates, the recombinant E. coli could produce ALA extracellularly. In shaker-flask cultures at 37oC for 36 h with addition of D(+)-xylose as inducer enhanced the ALA concentration produced.
The expression level of ALAS under the control of xylA promoter was also compared with that under the control of T7 promoter. It was found that the basal expression of ALAS driven by xylA promoter is higher than that of T7 promoter and with no inclusion body formation based on Western Blot analysis.
It was observed that recombinant E. coli BL21(DE3) harboring pGHmA cultivated under dark condition, with the repeated addition of ALA precursors, succinate (90 mM) and glycine (30 mM), and LA (inhibititor of ALA dehydratase (ALAD) in heme biosynthesis), can increase the ALA accumulation to 15.5 mM. On the other hand, in the culture under light illumination, the more ALA produced was converted into prophyrins and resulted in a lower ALA concentration. Besides, the cell concentration obtained was also lower in the light culture.
