- W1987690708 abstract "ABSTRACT Acinetobacter venetianus Rag1 produces an extracellular, polymeric lipoheteropolysaccharide termed apoemulsan. This polymer is putatively produced via a Wzy-dependent pathway. According to this model, the length of the polymer is regulated by polysaccharide-copolymerase (PCP) protein. A highly conserved proline and glycine motif was identified in all members of the PCP family of proteins and is involved in regulation of polymer chain length. In order to control the structure of apoemulsan, defined point mutations in the proline-glycine-rich region of the apoemulsan PCP protein (Wzc) were introduced. Modified wzc variants were introduced into the Rag1 genome via homologous recombination. Stable chromosomal mutants were confirmed by Southern blot analysis. The molecular weight of the polymer was analyzed by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Five of the eight point mutants produced polymers having molecular weights higher than the molecular weight of the polymer produced by the wild type. Moreover, four of these five polymers had modified biological properties. Replacement of arginine by leucine (R418L) resulted in the most significant change in the molecular weight of the polymer. The R418L mutant was the most hydrophilic mutant, exhibiting decreased adherence to polystyrene, and inhibited biofilm formation. The results described in this report show the functional effect of Wzc modification on the molecular weight of a high-molecular-weight polysaccharide. Moreover, in the present study we developed a genetic system to control polymerization of apoemulsan. The use of selective exogenous fatty acid feeding strategies, as well as genetic manipulation of sugar backbone chain length, is a promising new approach for bioengineering emulsan analogs." @default.
