L-2-Hydroxyglutarate (L-2-HG) plays important roles in diverse physiological processes, such as carbon starvation response, tumorigenesis, and hypoxic adaptation. Despite its importance and intensively studied metabolism, regulation of L-2-HG metabolism remains poorly understood and a regulator specifically responded to L-2-HG has never been identified. Based on the genomic neighborhood analysis of the gene encoding L-2-HG oxidase (LhgO), LhgR, which represses the transcription of lhgO, was identified in Pseudomonas putida W619 in this study. LhgR was demonstrated to recognize L-2-HG as its specific effector molecule, and this allosteric transcription factor was then used as a biorecognition element for construction of L-2-HG-sensing FRET sensor. The newly developed L-2-HG sensor can conveniently monitor the concentrations of L-2-HG in various biological samples. In addition to bacterial L-2-HG generation during carbon starvation, biological functions of the L-2-HG dehydrogenase and hypoxia induced L-2-HG accumulation were also revealed by using the L-2-HG sensor in human cells.Competing Interest StatementThe authors have declared no competing interest.View Full Text
