真核生物来源漆酶的异源表达研究进展

漆酶属于多铜氧化酶家族中的一种,广泛存在于昆虫、植物、真菌和细菌中。由于其作用的底物范围较广,因此在纺织、制浆、食品以及木质素的降解等方面有广阔的应用前景。但是自然界中的漆酶存在表达量和酶活低、高温易失活等问题,限制了它的应用。对漆酶进行大量高效的异源表达,是解决这一问题的有效途径。近年来,越来越多不同来源的漆酶基因被克隆,并在不同宿主中异源表达。但这些大多局限于实验室研究,还未达到工业化生产的水平。笔者对真核生物来源漆酶的异源表达研究进展进行综述,重点介绍了真核生物来源的漆酶在不同表达系统中的异源表达情况以及在酵母细胞中表达漆酶时提高表达量和酶活性能的方法,以期为研究者们提供参考。     

阿魏蘑与胶红酵母共培养中促进产漆酶物质的初步研究

阿魏蘑在液态发酵过程中经胶红酵母共培养后,漆酶的产量得到提高,但对其起促进作用的物质尚不清楚。本文中,笔者首先考察阿魏蘑和胶红酵母发酵上清液混合对漆酶酶活测定的影响,发现胶红酵母并没有表达漆酶的能力,同时,发酵上清液的混合会导致漆酶酶活的下降。因此,排除了两种微生物发酵液之间发生的协同或促进作用对漆酶酶活的影响。在分别添加高温灭活和70℃灭活的胶红酵母后发现,添加30 g/L的70℃灭活的胶红酵母,阿魏蘑漆酶酶活增加至6 605 U/L,而高温灭活未有相应的促进效果。因此,在共培养中促进漆酶合成的活性物质存在于酵母中并对温度敏感。通过比较70℃灭活胶红酵母的添加时间和添加量后,在阿魏蘑培养第2天添加50 g/L胶红酵母获得最高漆酶产量7 579 U/L。通过研究发现了胶红酵母中某种对热敏感的物质促进了阿魏蘑漆酶表达量的提高,此结果对研究漆酶及其他发酵产物在共培养中表达量的提高有重要意义。

毕赤酵母基因工程菌胞内AOX酶的检测方法

巴斯德毕赤酵母(Pichia pastoris)作为外源基因的表达宿主,已成功表达出一系列胞内和胞外蛋白[1～6],并已建立起了一套较成熟的发酵工艺.巴斯德毕赤酵母基因工程菌的外源基因,由胞内AOX酶(乙醇氧化酶)基因启动子调控.在非甲醇碳源条件下(如甘油或葡萄糖),AOX酶基因表达被抑制,外源基因也处于不表达状态.而以甲醇为唯一碳源时,AOX酶在胞内大量合成,同时外源基因被调控表达.在一般情况下,AOX酶的变化直接反映了外源基因的表达状况,因此通过分析检测胞内AOX酶的含量和变化速率,就可以确定外源基因所处的状态.

Molecular cloning of the cDNA encoding laccase from Trametes versicolor and heterologous expression in Pichia methanolica

A cDNA encoding for laccase was isolated from the ligninolytic fungus Trametes versicolor by RNA-PCR. The cDNA corresponds to the gene Lcc1, which encodes a laccase isoenzyme of 498 amino acid residues preceded by a 22-residue signal peptide. The Lcc1 cDNA was cloned into the vectors pMETA and pMETαA and expressed in Pichia methanolica. The laccase activity obtained with the Saccharomyces cerevisiae α-factor signal peptide was found to be twofold higher than that obtained with the native secretion signal peptide. The extracellular laccase activity in recombinants with the α-factor signal peptide was 9.79 U ml⁻¹. The presence of 0.2 mM copper was necessary for optimal activity of laccase. The expression level was favoured by lower cultivation temperature. The identity of the recombinant protein was further confirmed by immunodetection using Western blot analysis. As expected, the molecular mass of the mature laccase was 64.0 kDa, similar to that of the native form.     

Characterization of a gene encoding Trametes versicolor laccase A and improved heterologous expression in Saccharomyces cerevisiae by decreased cultivation temperature

Laccase can be used for enzymatic detoxification of lignocellulosic hydrolysates. A Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain with enhanced resistance to phenolic inhibitors and thereby improved ability to ferment lignocellulosic hydrolysates would presumably be obtained by heterologous expression of laccase. Sequencing of the cDNA for the novel laccase gene lcc2 from the lignin-degrading basidiomycete Trametes versicolor showed that it encodes an isoenzyme of 499 amino-acid residues preceded by a 21-residue signal peptide. By comparison with Edman degradation data, it was concluded that lcc2 encodes an isoenzyme corresponding to laccase A. The gene product of lcc2 displays 71% identity with the previously characterized T. versicolor lcc1 gene product. An alignment of laccase sequences revealed that the T. versicolor isoenzymes in general are more closely related to corresponding isoenzymes from other white-rot fungi than to the other T. versicolor isoenzymes. The multiplicity of laccase is thus a conserved feature of T. versicolor and related species of white-rot fungi. When the T. versicolor lcc2 cDNA was expressed in S. cerevisiae, the production of active enzyme was strongly dependent on the temperature. After 3 days of incubation, a 16-fold higher laccase activity was found when a positive transformant was kept at 19 °C instead of 28 °C. Similar experiments with Pichia pastoris expressing the T. versicolor laccase gene lcc1 also showed that the expression level was favoured considerably by lower cultivation temperature, indicating that the observation made for the S. cerevisiae expression system is of general significance.

Enhanced expression of laccase during the degradation of endocrine disrupting chemicals in Trametes versicolor

A putative laccase cDNA from a white-rot basidiomycete, Trametes versicolor, that consisted of 1,769 nucleotides was cloned using the rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE)-PCR method. The deduced amino acid sequence had 4 putative copper binding regions, which are common to fungal laccases. In addition, the sequence was 57 approximately 97 % homologous to sequences of other T. versicolor laccases. Additionally, the expression of laccase and manganese peroxidase in this fungus were both greatly increased under degrading conditions for bisphenol A, nonylphenol and two phthalic esters (benzylbutylphthalate and diethylphthalate), all of which are reportedly endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs). Furthermore, the estrogenic activities of the EDCs also decreased rapidly during incubation when examined in a two-hybrid yeast system. Finally, kojic acid inhibited the removal of estrogenic activities generated by bisphenol A and nonylphenol, which confirmed that laccase was involved in the degradation of EDCs in T. versicolor.     

Characterization of a laccase gene from the white-rot fungi Trametes sp. 5930 isolated from Shennongjia Nature Reserve in China and studying on the capability of decolorization of different synthetic dyes

Laccase belongs to a family of multi-copper oxidases which is especially useful for biotechnological and industrial applications. A laccase-producing white-rot fungi strain designated as Trametes sp. 5930 was nearly isolated from Shennongjia Nature Reserve in China. Trametes sp. 5930 had the high yield of laccase and was capable of decolorizing different dyes efficiently. Laccase played a very important role in the decolorization of different dyes by this fungus. The laccase gene lac5930-1 and its corresponding full-length cDNA were then cloned and characterized from Trametes sp. 5930. The 1563 bp full-length cDNA of lac5930-1 encoded a mature laccase protein consisting of 499 amino acids preceded by a signal peptide of 21 amino acids. lac5930-1 gene was successfully expressed in Pichia pastoris, which verified the function of lac5930-1 encoding active laccase by means of gene expression. The recombinant laccase produced by the yeast transformant in which lac5930-1 was efficiently expressed, conferred the ability to decolorize different dyes. The capability of decolorizing different dyes was positively related to the laccase activity, which provided strong evidence for the important function of laccase used in decolorizing industrial dyes.
