Abstract: The present disclosure relates to recombinant host cells comprising one or more recombinant polynucleotides encoding enzymes in select pathways that provide the ability to use the cells to produce 1,3-butadiene. The present disclosure also provides methods of manufacturing the recombinant host cells, and methods for the use of the cells to produce 1,3-butadiene. The methods utilize recombinant host cells that comprise an engineered pathway of enzymes that provides for the conversion of naturally occurring intermediate crotonyl-CoA (or -ACP) to 1,3-butadiene through enzyme catalyzed steps involving the reduction of glutaconyl-CoA (or -ACP) to form the intermediate 5-hydroxypent-3-enoate. The disclosure provides alternative engineered pathway involving either decarboxylation of 5-hydroxypent-3-enoate directly to 1,3-butadiene, or phosphorylation of 5-hydroxypent-3-enoate followed by a phosphate elimination step catalyzed by a decarboxylase to produce 1,3-butadiene.

Abstract: The present invention is based on the discovery that a polypeptide containing the JAB subunit or the JAM domain has peptidase activity, e.g., isopeptidase activity. The present invention provides polypeptides and crystalline polypeptides containing the JAM domain and methods of using such polypeptides to screen for agents capable of affecting the peptidase activity of the polypeptides. The present invention also provides methods of using the JAM domain for rational drug design or identifying agents capable of affecting the peptidase activity of the JAM domain.

Abstract: Methods for identifying agents that can increase or decrease the isopeptidase activity of a COP9 signalsome (CSN) are provided, as are agent identified using such screening assays. In addition, methods of ameliorating a pathologic condition such as a cancer or an autoimmune disease in a subject by modulating the CSN isopeptidase activity are provided, as are medicaments useful for treating a subject having such a condition.
