Pathway Edits

  • AoGGT-1 gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase 1 overexpression under amylase promoter for maximal gamma-glutamyl peptide hydrolysis releasing free glutamate from storage protein pools
  • AoProB proline biosynthesis feedback-resistant variant introduction to redirect glutamate-semialdehyde toward proline-independent glutamate cycling
  • AoGlnA glutamine synthetase partial knockdown (30%) to slow glutamate re-amination to glutamine, preserving free glutamate pool in koji fermentate
  • AoNPII neutral protease II upregulation for enhanced substrate protein hydrolysis exposing gamma-glutamyl bonds to GGT-1 activity
  • AoGAP glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase promoter-driven GGT expression system for constitutive high-level transpeptidase activity
  • AoGDH2 glutamate dehydrogenase isoform 2 upregulation for net reductive amination maintaining free glutamate pool replenishment after GGT cycling

Key Interventions

GGT-1-mediated free glutamate liberation from peptide pools via constitutive transpeptidase overexpression in Aspergillus oryzae fermentationKoji-fermentation glutamate release amplification targeting mGluR1 direct agonism from peptide-bound glutamate precursorsFree glutamate pool maintenance via GDH2 replenishment cycling to sustain mGluR1 activation throughout fermentation process
