Background

The gene encoding a thermostable cellulase of family 12 was previously isolated from a Rhodothermus marinus through functional screening. CelA is a protein of 260 aminoacyl residues with a 28-residue amino-terminal signal peptide. Mature CelA was poorly synthesized in some Escherichia coli strains and not at all in others. Here we present an alternative approach for its heterologous production as a secreted polypeptide in Streptomyces.

Results

CelA was successfully over-expressed as a secreted polypeptide in Streptomyces lividans TK24. To this end, CelA was fused C-terminally to the secretory signal peptide of the subtilisin inhibitor protein (Sianidis et al. in J Biotechnol. 121: 498–507, 2006) from Streptomyces venezuelae and a new cloning strategy developed. Optimal growth media and conditions that stall biomass production promote excessive CelA secretion. Under optimal growth conditions in nutrient broth medium, significant amounts of mature CelA (50–90 mg/L or 100–120 mg/g of dry cell weight) are secreted in the spent growth media after 7 days. A protocol to rapidly purify CelA to homogeneity from culture supernatants was developed and specific anti-sera raised against it. Biophysical, biochemical and immmuno-detection analyses indicate that the enzyme is intact, stable and fully functional. CelA is the most thermostable heterologous polypeptide shown to be secreted from S. lividans.

Conclusion

This study further validates and extends the use of the S. lividans platform for production of heterologous enzymes of industrial importance and extends it to active thermostable enzymes. This study contributes to developing a platform for poly-omics analysis of protein secretion in S. lividans.

Objectives

To engineer the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae for the heterologous production of linalool.

Results

Expression of linalool synthase gene from Lavandula angustifolia enabled heterologous production of linalool in S. cerevisiae. Downregulation of ERG9 gene, that encodes squalene synthase, by replacing its native promoter with the repressible MET3 promoter in the presence of methionine resulted in accumulation of 78 µg linalool l?1 in the culture medium. This was more than twice that produced by the control strain. The highest linalool titer was obtained by combined repression of ERG9 and overexpression of tHMG1. The yeast strain harboring both modifications produced 95 μg linalool l?1.

Conclusions

Although overexpression of tHMG1 and downregulation of ERG9 enhanced linalool titers threefold in the engineered yeast strain, alleviating linalool toxicity is necessary for further improvement of linalool biosynthesis in yeast.

Objective

To improve 1,3-propanediol production in Klebsiella pneumoniae, the effects of puuC expression in lactate- and lactate/2,3-butanediol-deficient strains were assessed.

Results

Overexpression of puuC (encoding an aldehyde dehydrogenase) inhibited 1,3-propanediol production and increased 3-hydroxypropionic acid formation in both lactate- and lactate/2,3-butanediol-deficient strains. An improvement in 1,3-propanediol production was only achieved in a lactate-deficient strain via moderate expression of puuC; at the end of the fermentation, 1,3-propanediol productivity increased by 14 % compared with the control. Further comparative analysis of the metabolic flux distributions in different strains indicated that 3-hydroxypropionic acid formation could play a considerable role in cell metabolism in K. pneumoniae.

Conclusion

An improvement in 3-hydroxypropionic acid formation would be beneficial for cell metabolism, which can be accomplished by enhancing 1,3-propanediol productivity in a lactate-deficient strain via moderate expression of puuC.

Objectives

To achieve biosynthesis of caffeoylmalic acid from glucose in engineered Escherichia coli.

Results

We constructed the biosynthetic pathway of caffeoylmalic acid in E. coli by co-expression of heterologous genes RgTAL, HpaBC, At4CL2 and HCT2. To enhance the production of caffeoylmalic acid, we optimized the tyrosine metabolic pathway of E. coli to increase the supply of the substrate caffeic acid. Consequently, an E. coliE. coli co-culture system was used for the efficient production of caffeoylmalic acid. The final titer of caffeoylmalic acid reached 570.1 mg/L.

Conclusions

Microbial production of caffeoylmalic acid using glucose has application potential. In addition, microbial co-culture is an efficient tool for producing caffeic acid esters.

Objectives

To evaluate the crystallinity index of the cellulose produced by Escherichia coli Nissle 1917 after heterologous expression of the cellulose synthase subunit D (bcsD) gene of Gluconacetobacter xylinus BPR2001.

Results

The bcsD gene of G. xylinus BPR2001 was expressed in E. coli and its protein product was visualized using SDS-PAGE. FTIR analysis showed that the crystallinity index of the cellulose produced by the recombinants was 0.84, which is 17% more than that of the wild type strain. The increased crystallinity index was also confirmed by X-ray diffraction analysis. The cellulose content was not changed significantly after over-expressing the bcsD.

Conclusion

The bcsD gene can improve the crystalline structure of the bacterial cellulose but there is not any significant difference between the amounts of cellulose produced by the recombinant and wild type E. coli Nissle 1917.

Objectives

To engineer Yarrowia lipolytica for improving the heterologous production of campesterol (a key precursor to manufacture pharmaceutical steroids).

Results

By screening 7-dehydrocholesterol reductase (DHCR7) from diverse species, DHCR7 from Danio rerio was the best candidate for campesterol synthesis. Overexpression of ACL (ATP: citrate lyase) or POX2 (peroxisome acyl-CoA oxidase 2) were key to improving campesterol production. The highest yield of campesterol was 942 mg/l was with the strain overexpressing POX2 in a 5 l bioreactor via high cell density fermentation process with a restricted supply of carbon sourc, sunflower seed oil.

Conclusions

A promising platform to synthesize downstream steroid drugs was established. Efficient approaches were provided to improve the production of desired molecules in Y. lipolytica with high oil utilization efficiency.

Objectives

To improve heterologous proteins production, we constructed a maltose-inducible expression system in Bacillus subtilis.

Results

An expression system based on the promoter for maltose utilization constructed in B. subtilis. Successively, to improve the performance of the P malA -derived system, mutagenesis was employed by gradually shortening the length of P malA promoter and altering the spacing between the predicted MalR binding site and the ?35 region. Furthermore, deletion of the maltose utilization genes (malL and yvdK) improved the P malA promoter activity. Finally, using this efficient maltose-inducible expression system, we enhanced the production of luciferase and d-aminoacylase, compared with the P hpaII system.

Conclusions

A maltose-inducible expression system was constructed and evaluated. It could be used for high level expression of heterologous proteins production.

Objective

To develop a reliable and easy to use expression system for antibiotic production improvement of Streptomyces.

Results

A two-compound T7 RNA polymerase-dependent gene expression system was developed to fulfill this demand. In this system, the T7 RNA polymerase coding sequence was optimized based on the codon usage of Streptomyces coelicolor. To evaluate the functionality of this system, we constructed an activator gene overexpression strain for enhancement of actinorhodin production. By overexpression of the positive regulator actII-ORF4 with this system, the maximum actinorhodin yield of engineered strain was 15-fold higher and the fermentation time was decreased by 48 h.

Conclusion

The modified two-compound T7 expression system improves both antibiotic production and accelerates the fermentation process in Streptomyces. This provides a general and useful strategy for strain improvement of important antibiotic producing Streptomyces strains.

Objective

To improve the production of welan gum and obtain a carotenoid-free strain while reducing the fermentation and post-treatment costs.

Results

The vitreoscilla globin (vgb) gene combined with the β-galactosidase (lacZ) promoter was inserted into the phytoene synthase (crtB) gene region of the chromosome in Alcaligenes sp. ATCC31555. When the recombinant strain was grown in a 5 l fermentor, welan gum was produced at 24 ± 0.4 g l?1 compared to 21 g ± 0.4 g l?1 in the wild type. Furthermore, the carotenoid-free welan gum produced using Alcaligenes sp. ATCC31555 VHb strain was less expensive with improved properties.

Conclusions

Alcaligenes sp. ATCC31555 VHb strain was a better neutral welan-producing strain with a higher production than the wild-type strain.

Introduction

The Elongator complex, comprising six subunits (Elp1p-Elp6p), is required for formation of 5-carbamoylmethyl (ncm5) and 5-methoxycarbonylmethyl (mcm5) side chains on wobble uridines in 11 out of 42 tRNA species in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Loss of these side chains reduces the efficiency of tRNA decoding during translation, resulting in pleiotropic phenotypes. Overexpression of hypomodified \( {\text {tRNA}_{{\rm s^{2} {\rm UUU}}}^{{\rm Lys}} , {\rm tRNA}_{{\rm s^{2} {\rm UUG}}}^{{\rm Gln }} \;{\rm and}\;{\rm tRNA}_{{\rm s^{2} {\rm UUC}}}^{{\rm Glu}}} \), which in wild-type strains are modified with mcm5s2U, partially suppress phenotypes of an elp3Δ strain.

Objectives

To identify metabolic alterations in an elp3Δ strain and elucidate whether these metabolic alterations are suppressed by overexpression of hypomodified \( {\text {tRNA}_{{\rm s^{2} {\rm UUU}}}^{{\rm Lys}} , {\rm tRNA}_{{\rm s^{2} {\rm UUG}}}^{{\rm Gln }} \;{\rm and}\;{\rm tRNA}_{{\rm s^{2} {\rm UUC}}}^{{\rm Glu}}} \).

Method

Metabolic profiles were obtained using untargeted GC-TOF-MS of a temperature-sensitive elp3Δ strain carrying either an empty low-copy vector, an empty high-copy vector, a low-copy vector harboring the wild-type ELP3 gene, or a high-copy vector overexpressing \( {\text {tRNA}_{{\rm s^{2} {\rm UUU}}}^{{\rm Lys}} , {\rm tRNA}_{{\rm s^{2} {\rm UUG}}}^{{\rm Gln }} \;{\rm and}\;{\rm tRNA}_{{\rm s^{2} {\rm UUC}}}^{{\rm Glu}}} \). The temperature sensitive elp3Δ strain derivatives were cultivated at permissive (30 °C) or semi-permissive (34 °C) growth conditions.

Results

Culturing an elp3Δ strain at 30 or 34 °C resulted in altered metabolism of 36 and 46 %, respectively, of all metabolites detected when compared to an elp3Δ strain carrying the wild-type ELP3 gene. Overexpression of hypomodified \( {\text {tRNA}_{{\rm s^{2} {\rm UUU}}}^{{\rm Lys}} , {\rm tRNA}_{{\rm s^{2} {\rm UUG}}}^{{\rm Gln }} \;{\rm and}\;{\rm tRNA}_{{\rm s^{2} {\rm UUC}}}^{{\rm Glu}}} \) suppressed a subset of the metabolic alterations observed in the elp3Δ strain.

Conclusion

Our results suggest that the presence of ncm5- and mcm5-side chains on wobble uridines in tRNA are important for metabolic homeostasis.

Objectives

To develop a genome editing method using the CRISPR/Cas9 system in Aspergillus oryzae, the industrial filamentous fungus used in Japanese traditional fermentation and for the production of enzymes and heterologous proteins.

Results

To develop the CRISPR/Cas9 system as a genome editing technique for A. oryzae, we constructed plasmids expressing the gene encoding Cas9 nuclease and single guide RNAs for the mutagenesis of target genes. We introduced these into an A. oryzae strain and obtained transformants containing mutations within each target gene that exhibited expected phenotypes. The mutational rates ranged from 10 to 20 %, and 1 bp deletions or insertions were the most commonly induced mutations.

Conclusions

We developed a functional and versatile genome editing method using the CRISPR/Cas9 system in A. oryzae. This technique will contribute to the use of efficient targeted mutagenesis in many A. oryzae industrial strains.

Objectives

A levansucrase from Leuconostoc mesenteroides NTM048 was cloned and expressed and its enzymatic product was characterized.

Results

The fructansucrase gene from Leuconostoc mesenteroides was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli. The recombinant enzyme was purified as a single protein and its properties investigated. The polymer produced by the recombinant enzyme was identified as levan by various means including TLC and NMRs, and the enzyme was identified as a GH68 levansucrase. The enzyme was optimal at pH 5.5–6 and 30 °C, and its activity was stimulated by Ca2+. The levan produced by this strain induced IgA production in mice.

Conclusion

Leuconostoc mesenteroides, a probiotic strain, possessed levansucrase which catalyzed the produced levan that had immunomodulating activity.

Objectives

To engineer Escherichia coli for the heterologous production of di-rhamnolipids, which are important biosurfactants but mainly produced by opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Results

The codon-optimized rhlAB and rhlC genes originating from P. aeruginosa and Burkholderia pseudomallei were combinatorially expressed in E. coli to produce di-rhamnolipids with varied congeners compositions. Genes involved in endogenous upstream pathways (rhamnose and fatty acids synthesis) were co-overexpressed with rhlABrhlC, resulting in variations of rhamnolipids production and congeners compositions. Under the shake-flask condition, co-overexpression of rfbD with rhlABrhlC increased rhamnolipids production (0.64 ± 0.02 g l?1) than that in strain only expressing rhlABrhlC (0.446 ± 0.009 g l?1), which was mainly composed of di-rhamnolipids congeners Rha–Rha–C10–C10.

Conclusion

Biosynthesis of di-rhamnolipids and variations of congeners composition in genetically engineered E. coli strains were achieved via combiniations of mono-/di-rhamnolipids synthesis modules and endogenous upstream modules.

Objectives

To enhance acid tolerance of Candida glabrata for pyruvate production by engineering AMP metabolism.

Results

The physiological function of AMP deaminase in AMP metabolism from C. glabrata was investigated by deleting or overexpresseing the corresponding gene, CgAMD1. At pH 4, CgAMD1 overexpression resulted in 59 and 51% increases in biomass and cell viability compared to those of wild type strain, respectively. In addition, the intracellular ATP level of strain Cgamd1Δ/CgAMD1 was down-regulated by 22%, which led to a 94% increase in pyruvate production. Further, various strengths of CgAMD1 expression cassettes were designed, thus resulting in a 59% increase in pyruvate production at pH 4. Strain Cgamd1Δ/CgAMD1 (H) was grown in a 30 l batch bioreactor at pH 4, and pyruvate reached 46.1 g/l.

Conclusion

CgAMD1 overexpression plays an active role in improving acid tolerance and pyruvate fermentation performance of C. glabrata at pH 4.

Objectives

To improve 1,3-propanediol (1,3-PD) production and reduce byproduct concentration during the fermentation of Klebsiella pneumonia.

Results

Klebsiella. pneumonia 2-1ΔldhA, K. pneumonia 2-1ΔaldH and K. pneumonia 2-1ΔldhaldH mutant strains were obtained through deletion of the ldhA gene encoding lactate dehydrogenase required for lactate synthesis and the aldH gene encoding acetaldehyde dehydrogenase involved in the synthesis of ethanol. After fed-batch fermentation, the production of 1,3-PD from glycerol was enhanced and the concentrations of byproducts were reduced compared with the original strain K. pneumonia 2-1. The maximum yields of 1,3-PD were 85.7, 82.5 and 87.5 g/l in the respective mutant strains.

Conclusion

Deletion of either aldH or ldhA promoted 1,3-PD production in K. pneumonia.

Objective

To develop and prototype a high-throughput microplate assay to assess anaerobic microorganisms and lignocellulosic biomasses in a rapid, cost-effective screen for consolidated bioprocessing potential.

Results

Clostridium thermocellum parent Δhpt strain deconstructed Avicel to cellobiose, glucose, and generated lactic acid, formic acid, acetic acid and ethanol as fermentation products in titers and ratios similar to larger scale fermentations confirming the suitability of a plate-based method for C. thermocellum growth studies. C. thermocellum strain LL1210, with gene deletions in the key central metabolic pathways, produced higher ethanol titers in the Consolidated Bioprocessing (CBP) plate assay for both Avicel and switchgrass fermentations when compared to the Δhpt strain.

Conclusion

A prototype microplate assay system is developed that will facilitate high-throughput bioprospecting for new lignocellulosic biomass types, genetic variants and new microbial strains for bioethanol production.

Objectives

To find a novel host for the production of 4-vinylphenol (4VPh) by screening Streptomyces species.

Results

The conversion of p-coumaric acid (pHCA) to 4VPh in Streptomyces mobaraense was evaluated using a medium containing pHCA. S. mobaraense readily assimilated pHCA after 24 h of cultivation to produce 4VPh. A phenolic acid decarboxylase, derived from S. mobaraense (SmPAD), was purified following heterologous expression in Escherichia coli. SmPAD was evaluated under various conditions, and the enzyme’s kcat/Km value was 0.54 mM ?1 s?1. Using intergenetic conjugation, a gene from Rhodobacter sphaeroides encoding a tyrosine ammonia lyase, which catalyzes the conversion of l-tyrosine to p-coumaric acid, was introduced into S. mobaraense. The resulting S. mobaraense transformant produced 273 mg 4VPh l?1 from 10 g glucose l?1.

Conclusion

A novel strain suitable for the production of 4VPh and potentially other aromatic compounds was isolated.
