Aminopyrrolnitrin (APRN), a natural halogenated phenylpyrrole derivative (HPD), has strong antifungal and antiparasitic activities. Additionally, it showed 2.8-fold increased photostability compared to pyrrolnitrin, a commercially available HPD with antimicrobial activity. For microbial production of APRN, we first engineered anthranilate phosphoribosyltransferase encoded by trpD from Corynebacterium glutamicum, resulting in a TrpDA162D mutation that exhibits feedback-resistant against l-tryptophan and higher substrate affinity compared to wild-type TrpD. Plasmid-borne expression of trpDA162D in C. glutamicum TP851 strain with two copies of trpDA162D in the genome led to the production of 3.1 g/L l-tryptophan in flask culture. Subsequent step for l-tryptophan chlorination into 7-chloro-l-tryptophan was achieved by introducing diverse sources of genes encoding tryptophan 7-halogenase (PrnA or RebH) and flavin reductase (Fre, PrnF, or RebF). The combined expression of prnA from Serratia grimesii or Serratia plymuthica with flavin reductase gene from Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas fluorescens, or Lechevalieria aerocolonigenes yielded higher production of 7-chloro-l-tryptophan in comparison to other sets of two-component systems. In the next step, production of putative monodechloroaminopyrrolnitrin (MDAP) from 7-chloro-l-tryptophan was achieved through the expression of prnB encoding MDAP synthase from S. plymuthica or P. fluorescens. Finally, an artificial APRN biosynthetic pathway was constructed by simultaneously expressing genes coding for tryptophan 7-halogenase, flavin reductase, MDAP synthase, and MDAP halogenase (PrnC) from different microbial sources within the l-tryptophan-producing TP851 strain. As prnC from S. grimesii or S. plymuthica was introduced into the host strain, which carried plasmids expressing prnA from S. plymuthica, fre from E. coli, and prnB from S. plymuthica, APN3639 and APN3638 accumulated 29.5 mg/L and 28.1 mg/L of APRN in the culture broth. This study represents the first report on the fermentative APRN production by metabolically engineered C. glutamicum.
