草酸青霉纤维素酶基因和木聚糖酶基因的调控基因POX05145的鉴定

草酸青霉能产生完整的纤维素酶和木聚糖酶酶系,其纤维素酶基因的表达主要受转录因子的调控。前期工作中,通过对草酸青霉菌株HP7-1在不同碳源培养基培养条件下转录组的比较分析,获得了调控纤维素酶和木聚糖酶产量的候选调控基因集。本研究以草酸青霉ΔPoxKu70为出发菌株,通过同源重组法,构建并获得了其中一个候选调控基因POX05145的缺失突变株ΔPOX05145。在微结晶纤维素Avicel诱导培养条件下,与出发菌株ΔPoxKu70相比,ΔPOX05145的纤维素酶产量和木聚糖酶产量发生了显著改变。其中,在诱导第2天时,ΔPOX05145对硝基苯-β-D-纤维二糖苷酶产量和木聚糖酶产量分别上升43.4%和164.7%,对硝基苯-β-D-半乳糖吡喃葡萄糖苷酶产量下降92.8%,但是,滤纸酶产量和羧甲基纤维素酶产量没有显著变化。然而,在诱导第4天时,所有纤维素酶产量和木聚糖酶产量上升100.4%~294.0%。实时荧光定量PCR检测表明POX05145在不同的时间不同程度的调控主要的纤维素酶基因和木聚糖酶基因的表达。序列分析表明POX05145含有一个GAL4类锌指结构的DNA结合功能域和一个保守的真菌特有的转录因子结构域(Fungal_TF_MHR)。     

草酸青霉中一个膨胀因子基因POX06047的遗传分析

纤维素由于大量纤维素链间氢键的存在形成了很难被纤维素酶降解的微晶纤维素.膨胀因子通过破坏纤维素链间的氢键使纤维素酶能更好地接近和降解底物.草酸青霉(Penicillium oxalicum)HP7-1的基因组中注释为膨胀因子基因有4个,分别为POX01524、POX06047,POX07832和POX08485.其中POX06047被注释为类扩展蛋白(expansin-like)基因,通过结构域分析,POX06047含有一个类内切葡聚糖酶45家族结构域.本研究通过同源重组途径和冻融转化法在草酸青霉ΔPoxKu70菌株中将POX06047基因敲除,成功获得了缺失突变株ΔPOX06047.通过测定缺失突变株在液体产酶培养基下的各种纤维素酶产量和木聚糖酶产量,发现相比于出发菌株ΔPoxKu70,ΔPOX06047 的 CMCase产量和滤纸酶产量没有变化,而木聚糖酶产量、p-NPCase产量和p-NPGase产量均出现了不同程度的下降.将POX06047基因在草酸青霉ΔPoxKu70中进行过量表达,得到过量表达菌株OXPOX06047,检测结果表明,相比出发菌ΔPoxKu70,ΔPOX06047的p-NPCase、木聚糖酶产量有所提高,CMCase、p-NPGase产量有所下降,滤纸酶活力保持不变.     

草酸青霉的植物多糖降解酶基因表达调控的研究进展

植物生物质是地球上最丰富的可再生资源,对其生物炼制可生产高附加值的生物基产品。生物炼制需要使用植物多糖降解酶(plant-polysaccharide-degrading enzymes,PPDEs),如纤维素酶、木聚糖酶和生淀粉酶。丝状真菌草酸青霉(Penicillium oxalicum)能分泌完整的具有高活力的植物多糖降解酶,但其产量低限制了大规模生产及应用。草酸青霉中植物多糖降解酶的生物合成受到多种调控因子包括转录因子的严格调控。本文主要介绍在以植物生物质甘蔗渣和木薯生淀粉为原料的生物炼制中,涉及的一些关键微生物方面的问题,如从高产植物多糖降解酶的真菌菌株的筛选、育种,到草酸青霉植物多糖降解酶合成及其基因表达的调控基因的鉴定,以及酶产量提高的工程菌株的构建等,为丝状真菌资源的开发与利用提供理论指导。     

草酸青霉中一个编码锌指蛋白的基因的功能鉴定

草酸青霉是自然界中常见的产纤维素酶的丝状真菌,其基因组含有多个纤维素酶基因,能够分泌完整的纤维素酶系。真菌纤维素酶基因的表达主要是在转录水平上受到调控。通过对草酸青霉野生菌株HP7-1及其高产纤维素酶突变株EU2106的转录组以及基因组进行分析,获得了一批可能与突变株酶活变高有关的候选基因。HP7A1874是其中的一个候选基因,该基因在EU2106中的表达水平下降了82%。HP7A1874编码一个锌指蛋白,锌指结构域是转录因子所具有的典型结构之一。本研究通过基因敲除获得该基因的缺失突变株△HP7A1874,测定了突变株的纤维素酶和木聚糖酶活性。结果表明,HP7A1874缺失突变株的纤维素酶和木聚糖酶活与野生型菌株相比并无显著差异,说明HP7A1874与草酸青霉纤维素酶基因的表达调控无关。

Penicillium oxalicum SAEM-51: a mutagenised strain for enhanced production of chitin deacetylase for bioconversion to chitosan

A novel chitin deacetylase (CDA) producing strain Penicillium oxalicum ITCC 6965 was isolated from residual materials of sea food processing industries. Strain following mutagenesis using ethidium bromide (EtBr) and microwave irradiation had resulted into a mutant P. oxalicum SAE(M)-51 having improved levels of chitin deacetylase (210.71 ± 1.65 Ul(-1)) as compared to the wild type strain (108.26 ± 1.98 Ul(-1)). Maximum enzyme production was achieved in submerged fermentation following 144 hours of incubation with notably improved productivity of 1.46 ± 0.82 Ul(-1) h(-1) as compared to the wild type strain (0.75 ± 0.53 Ul(-1)h(-1)). Scanning electron micrographs of mutant and wild type strains had revealed distinct morphological features. Evaluation of kinetic parameters viz. Q(s), Q(p), Y(p/x), Y(p/s), q(p), q(s) had denoted that strain P. oxalicum SAE(M)-51 is a hyper producer of chitin deacetylase. Glucose as compared to chitin or colloidal chitin had resulted in increased levels of enzyme production. However, replacement of glucose with chitinous substrates had prolonged the duration for enzyme production. The mutant strain had two pH optima that is 6.0 and 8.0 and had an optimum temperature of 30 °C for growth and enzyme production.     

组蛋白甲基化与去乙酰化对蛇足石杉内生真菌盘长孢状刺盘孢合成石杉碱甲的影响

Transcriptome analysis of an antibiotic downregulator mutant and synergistic Actinorhodin stimulation via disruption of a precursor flux regulator in Streptomyces coelicolor

Through microarray analysis of an antibiotic-downregulator-deleted Streptomyces coelicolor ΔwblA ΔSCO1712 mutant, 28 wblA- and SCO1712-dependent genes were identified and characterized. Among 14 wblA- and SCO1712-independent genes, a carbon flux regulating 6-phosphofructokinase SCO5426 was additionally disrupted in the ΔwblA ΔSCO1712 mutant and further stimulated actinorhodin production in S. coelicolor, implying that both regulatory and precursor flux pathways could be synergistically optimized for antibiotic production.     

Co-cultivation of mutant Penicillium oxalicum SAU(E)-3.510 and Pleurotus ostreatus for simultaneous biosynthesis of xylanase and laccase under solid-state fermentation

Co-cultivation of mutant Penicillium oxalicum SAU(E)-3.510 and Pleurotus ostreatus MTCC 1804 was evaluated for the production of xylanase-laccase mixture under solid-state fermentation (SSF) condition. Growth compatibility between mutant P. oxalicum SAU(E)-3.510 and white rot fungi (P. ostreatus MTCC 1804, Trametes hirsuta MTCC 136 and Pycnoporus sp. MTCC 137) was analyzed by growing them on potato dextrose agar plate. Extracellular enzyme activities were determined spectrophotometrically. Under derived conditions, paired culturing of mutant P. oxalicum SAU(E)-3.510 and P. ostreatus MTCC 1804 resulted in 58% and 33% higher levels of xylanase and laccase production, respectively. A combination of sugarcane bagasse and black gram husk in a ratio of 3:1 was found to be the most ideal solid substrate and support for fungal colonization and enzyme production during co-cultivation. Maximum levels of xylanase (8205.31 ± 168.31 IU g(-1)) and laccase (375.53 ± 34.17 IU g(-1)) during SSF were obtained by using 4 g of solid support with 80% of moisture content. Furthermore, expressions of both xylanase and laccase were characterized during mixed culture by zymogram analysis. Improved levels of xylanase and laccase biosynthesis were achieved by co-culturing the mutant P. oxalicum SAU(E)-3.510 and P. ostreatus MTCC 1804. This may be because of efficient substrate utilization as compared to their respective monocultures in the presence of lignin degradation compounds because of synergistic action of xylanase and laccase. Understanding and developing the process of co-cultivation appears productive for the development of mixed enzyme preparation with tremendous potential for biobleaching.     

Repression of fatty-acyl-CoA oxidase-encoding gene expression is not necessarily a determinant of high-level production of dicarboxylic acids in industrial dicarboxylic-acid-producing Candida tropicalis

The synthesis of dicarboxylic acids (DCAs) in Candida tropicalis is thought to be induced by a decrease in fatty acyl-CoA-oxidase activity. However, in the present study we demonstrate that repression of the POX4 gene, encoding fatty acyl-CoA oxidase, does not directly lead to high-level production of DCAs. No fatty acyl-CoA-oxidase activity was detected if the POX4 gene of C. tropicalis strain 1098 (wild-type strain) was disrupted. Furthermore, introduction of the POX4 gene from C. tropicalis strain M1210A3, which is a mutant derived from strain 1098 and is used as an industrial DCA-producing strain, still exhibited low-level fatty acyl-CoA-oxidase activity. Nevertheless, production of DCA was not observed in either case. Furthermore, the increase in acyl-CoA-oxidase activity by expression of the POX4 gene in strain M1210A3 did not reduce high-level production of DCA. These results suggest that alterations in acyl-CoA-oxidase activity are not necessarily related to production of DCA in industrial DCA-producing C. tropicalis M1210A3.
