| Περίληψη: | Tetramethylpyrazine (TTMP) is a vital bioactive alkaloid and characteristic flavor compound in fermented foods. Our previous study found that fermentation of adlay by Bacillus subtilis BJ3-2 efficiently accumulates TTMP, whereas the underlying high-yield mechanism remains unclear. This study investigated the fermentation characteristics, gene transcription and protein expression of B. subtilis BJ3-2 in dehulled adlay (BDA) and soybean (BSB), respectively, and elucidated the mechanism responsible for high-yield TTMP production. The results showed that glutamate, leucine and phenylalanine were major free amino acids in BDA. The TTMP yield in BDA at 48 h (6.11 mg/g dry weight) was 360-fold higher than that in BSB. Transcriptomic and proteomic analysis demonstrated that compared with the soybean substrate, dehulled adlay substrate significantly up-regulated the expression of alsSD and ilvBH genes and their encoding proteins in B. subtilis BJ3-2, which were involved in C5-branched dibasic acid metabolism, 2-oxocarboxylic acid metabolism, and valine, leucine and isoleucine biosynthesis. Meanwhile, acetoin degradation was inhibited by down-regulating acetoin dehydrogenase complex (acoABCL) in citrate cycle, glycolysis/gluconeogenesis and carbon metabolism. Additionally, nitrogen metabolism pathway was transcriptionally enhanced to guarantee sufficient ammonium supply. Notably, protein-protein interaction and molecular docking analyses revealed that acetohydroxyacid synthase (ilvBH) interacted tightly with α-acetolactate decarboxylase (alsD), potentially forming a metabolic channel for acetoin synthesis. In conclusion, the efficient synthesis of TTMP in BDA was primarily attributed to the high synthesis and low degradation of acetoin, and the moderate synthesis of ammonium/ammonia. This study provided a theoretical basis for the targeted and efficient biosynthesis of TTMP. (Copyright © 2026 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.) |
