Improved glutathione production by gene expression in Escherichia coli 1. Key Laboratory of Industrial Biotechnology, Ministry of Education, Southern Yangtze University, Wuxi, China 2. Laboratory of Environmental Biotechnology, School of Biotechnology, Southern Yangtze University, Wuxi, China Glutathione: Glutathione (GSH, or L - γ -glutamyl-L-γ -cysteinylglycine) exists widely in nature and protects cells againstoxidation (Meister 1994). Its antioxidation function is mainly due to its role in maintaining the normal redox environment of cells (Izawa et al. 1995). GSH is now widely used in pharmaceutical, food and cosmetic industries. The commercial demand for GSH is expanding. GSH is synthesized in two ATP-dependent steps: L –glutamic acid + L –cysteine γ -glutamylcysteine synthetase gshI γ –glutamylcysteine Feedback inhibition GSH synthetase gshII GSH Aims: To improve glutathione (GSH) production in Escherichia coli by different genetic constructions containing GSH genes. Recombinant DNA methods Standard recombinant DNA techniques were used as described by Sambrook et al. (1989). Strains and plasmids Escherichia coli JM109 was used as a host strain for cloning and fermentation experiments. E. coli K12 was used as a source of chromosomal DNA for the cloning of gshI and gshII genes.

Protein analysis: GSH production: Conclusions: The simultaneous expression of two copies of gshI gene and one copy of gshII gene resulted in a significant increase in GSH production. Significance and Impact of the Study: The expression strategy for GSH production described here can be used to increase gene expression and obtain high production rates in other multienzyme reaction systems.
