“…As the deletion of cgmR in C. glutamicum wild type decreased the expression of the L-arginine biosynthesis genes (Nguyen et al 2015), we hypothesized that the predicted cgmARcg2895 operon may influence L-arginine production. Since cgmA and cg2895 encode permeases of the major facilitator superfamily, and cgmA overexpression was shown to increase putrescine (Nguyen et al 2015) and cadaverine production (Kind et al 2011), the effect of cgmA and cg2895 overexpression on L-arginine accumulation by L-arginine-producing strains was determined.…”

“…The major facilitator superfamily (MFS) permease CgmA may be involved in export of the diamine putrescine (Nguyen et al 2015) and cadaverine (Kind et al 2011), and overexpression of cgmA increased putrescine and cadaverine titers. The gene cgmA is part of the predicted cgmAR-cg2895 operon that is regulated by the TetR-like repressor CgmR (Itou et al 2005) in a diamine-dependent manner (Kind et al 2011) as shown by gel shift analysis of purified CgmR (Nguyen et al 2015). Deletion of cgmR was shown to improve cadaverine production (Kind et al 2011) and putrescine production (Nguyen et al 2015).…”

L-arginine is a semi-essential amino acid with application in cosmetic, pharmaceutical, and food industries. Metabolic engineering strategies have been applied for overproduction of L-arginine by Corynebacterium glutamicum. LysE was the only known L-arginine exporter of this bacterium. However, an L-arginine-producing strain carrying a deletion of lysE still accumulated about 10 mM L-arginine in the growth medium. Overexpression of the putative putrescine and cadaverine export permease gene cgmA was shown to compensate for the lack of lysE with regard to L-arginine export. Moreover, plasmid-borne overexpression of cgmA rescued the toxic effect caused by feeding of the dipeptide Arg-Ala to lysE-deficient C. glutamicum and argO-deficient Escherichia coli strains. Deletion of the repressor gene cgmR improved L-arginine titers by 5 %. Production of L-lysine and L-citrulline was not affected by cgmA overexpression. Taken together, CgmA may function as an export system not only for the diamine putrescine and cadaverine but also for L-arginine. The major export system for L-lysine and L-arginine LysE may also play a role in L-citrulline export since production of L-citrulline was reduced when lysE was deleted and improved by 45 % when lysE was overproduced.
