  • Publication number: 20230332116
    Abstract: Provided are a polypeptide with aspartate kinase activity and the use thereof in the production of an amino acid. Specifically, provided are a novel polypeptide with aspartate kinase activity, a recombinant polypeptide, a polynucleotide, a nucleic acid construct, a recombinant expression vector, a recombinant host cell, and a method for producing an amino acid. The polypeptide with aspartate kinase activity is a mutant mutated at one or more positions corresponding to positions 293, 294 and 307 of the amino acid sequence as shown in SEQ ID NO: 1. Compared with a polypeptide having the sequence as shown in SEQ ID NO: 1, the mutant polypeptide removes the feedback inhibition of lysine on aspartate kinase, has high aspartate kinase activity, and can be used for the stable and efficient production of lysine and derivatives thereof.

  • Publication number: 20230272366
    Abstract: Disclosed are a mutant of a pyruvate carboxylase gene promoter of Corynebacterium glutamicum and applications thereof. The mutant has improved promoter activity compared with a wild-type promoter, and can be used for enhancing expression of a target gene, for example, operably ligating the mutant to a pyruvate carboxylase gene enhances the expression intensity of the pyruvate carboxylase, thereby improving the production efficiency of amino acids of the strain.

  • Publication number: 20230242952
    Abstract: Provided are Corynebacterium glutamicum that produces L-lysine, a method for constructing the L-lysine producing strain, and a method for producing L-lysine from the strain. The lysine yield and glucose conversion of the L-lysine producing strain are improved, thereby reducing the production cost.
