AtoSC two-component system (TCS) upregulates the high-molecular weight poly-(R)-3-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) biosynthesis in recombinant phaCAB (+) Escherichia coli strains, with the Cupriavidus necator phaCAB operon. We report here that AtoSC upregulates also the copolymer P(3HB-co-3HV) biosynthesis in phaCAB (+) E. coli. Acetoacetate-induced AtoSC maximized P(3HB-co-3HV) to 1.27 g/l with a 3HV fraction of 25.5 % wt. and biopolymer content of 75 % w/w in a time-dependent process. The atoSC locus deletion in the ∆atoSC strains resulted in 4.5-fold P(3HB-co-3HV) reduction, while the 3HV fraction of the copolymer was restricted to only 6.4 % wt. The ∆atoSC phenotype was restored by extrachromosomal introduction of AtoSC. Deletion of the atoDAEB operon triggered a significant decrease in P(3HB-co-3HV) synthesis and 3HV content in ∆atoDAEB strains. However, the acetoacetate-induced AtoSC in those strains increased P(3HB-co-3HV) to 0.8 g/l with 21 % 3HV, while AtoC or AtoS expression increased P(3HB-co-3HV) synthesis 3.6- or 2.4-fold, respectively, upon acetoacetate. Complementation of the ∆atoDAEB phenotype was achieved by the extrachromosomal introduction of the atoSCDAEB regulon. Individual inhibition of β-oxidation and mainly fatty acid biosynthesis pathways by acrylic acid or cerulenin, respectively, reduced P(3HB-co-3HV) biosynthesis. Under those conditions, introduction of atoSC or atoSCDAEB regulon was capable of upregulating biopolymer accumulation. Concurrent inhibition of both the fatty acid metabolic pathways eliminated P(3HB-co-3HV) production. P(3HB-co-3HV) upregulation in phaCAB (+) E. coli by AtoSC signaling through atoDAEB operon and its participation in the fatty acids metabolism interplay provide additional perceptions of AtoSC critical involvement in E. coli regulatory processes towards biotechnologically improved polyhydroxyalkanoates biosynthesis.
