Escherichia coli YggS (COG0325) is a member of the highly conserved pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP)-binding protein (PLPBP) family. Recent studies suggested a role for this protein family in the homeostasis of vitamin B6 and amino acids. The deletion or mutation of a member of this protein family causes pleiotropic effects in many organisms and is causative of vitamin B6-dependent epilepsy in humans. To date, little has been known about the mechanism by which lack of YggS results in these diverse phenotypes. In this study, we determined that the pyridoxine (PN) sensitivity observed in yggS-deficient E. coli was caused by the pyridoxine 5'-phosphate (PNP)-dependent overproduction of Val, which is toxic to E. coli The data suggest that the yggS mutation impacts Val accumulation by perturbing the biosynthetic of Thr from homoserine (Hse). Exogenous Hse inhibited the growth of the yggS mutant, caused further accumulation of PNP, and increased the levels of some intermediates in the Thr-Ile-Val metabolic pathways. Blocking the Thr biosynthetic pathway or decreasing the intracellular PNP levels abolished the perturbations of amino acid metabolism caused by the exogenous PN and Hse. Our data showed that a high concentration of intracellular PNP is the root cause of at least some of the pleiotropic phenotypes described for a yggS mutant of E. coliIMPORTANCE Recent studies showed that deletion or mutation of members of the YggS protein family causes pleiotropic effects in many organisms. Little is known about the causes, mechanisms, and consequences of these diverse phenotypes. It was previously shown that yggS mutations in E. coli result in the accumulation of PNP and some metabolites in the Ile/Val biosynthetic pathway. This work revealed that some exogenous stresses increase the aberrant accumulation of PNP in the yggS mutant. In addition, the current report provides evidence indicating that some, but not all, of the phenotypes of the yggS mutant in E. coli are due to the elevated PNP level. These results will contribute to continuing efforts to determine the molecular functions of the members of the YggS protein family.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D009154 Mutation Any detectable and heritable change in the genetic material that causes a change in the GENOTYPE and which is transmitted to daughter cells and to succeeding generations. Mutations
D011732 Pyridoxal Phosphate This is the active form of VITAMIN B 6 serving as a coenzyme for synthesis of amino acids, neurotransmitters (serotonin, norepinephrine), sphingolipids, aminolevulinic acid. During transamination of amino acids, pyridoxal phosphate is transiently converted into pyridoxamine phosphate (PYRIDOXAMINE). Pyridoxal 5-Phosphate,Pyridoxal-P,Phosphate, Pyridoxal,Pyridoxal 5 Phosphate,Pyridoxal P
D011736 Pyridoxine The 4-methanol form of VITAMIN B 6 which is converted to PYRIDOXAL PHOSPHATE which is a coenzyme for synthesis of amino acids, neurotransmitters (serotonin, norepinephrine), sphingolipids, aminolevulinic acid. Although pyridoxine and Vitamin B 6 are still frequently used as synonyms, especially by medical researchers, this practice is erroneous and sometimes misleading (EE Snell; Ann NY Acad Sci, vol 585 pg 1, 1990).

D004926 Escherichia coli A species of gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria (GRAM-NEGATIVE FACULTATIVELY ANAEROBIC RODS) commonly found in the lower part of the intestine of warm-blooded animals. It is usually nonpathogenic, but some strains are known to produce DIARRHEA and pyogenic infections. Pathogenic strains (virotypes) are classified by their specific pathogenic mechanisms such as toxins (ENTEROTOXIGENIC ESCHERICHIA COLI), etc. Alkalescens-Dispar Group,Bacillus coli,Bacterium coli,Bacterium coli commune,Diffusely Adherent Escherichia coli,E coli,EAggEC,Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli,Enterococcus coli,Diffusely Adherent E. coli,Enteroaggregative E. coli,Enteroinvasive E. coli,Enteroinvasive Escherichia coli
