Four genes encoding alcohol dehydrogenase (Adh) isozymes in the thermotolerant yeast Kluyveromyces marxianus, a potent candidate for ethanol production at high temperatures, were investigated. Of these, KmADH3 and KmADH4 were cloned and sequenced, and their deduced amino acid sequences were compared with those of KmAdh1 and KmAdh2 and other Adhs of Kluyveromyces lactis and Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The four KmAdhs had high sequence similarity, though KmAdh3 and KmAdh4 possessed an amino-terminal extension as a mitochondrial targeting sequence, and appear to belong to the zinc-containing Adh family. These results and the results of Southern blot experiments suggest that there are at least four Adh isozymes in K. marxianus, two cytoplasmic enzymes and two mitochondrial enzymes. The expression profile revealed that KmADH genes are differently expressed depending on growth phase and carbon source, suggesting that these highly homologous Adhs play distinctive roles in cells. 相似文献

Kluyveromyces marxianus CCT 7735 has been used to produce ethanol, aromatic compounds, enzymes and heterologous proteins besides assimilates lactose as carbon source. Its genome has 10.7 Mb and encodes 4787 genes distributed in 8 nuclear chromosomes and one mitochondrial. Contrary to Kluyveromyces lactis, which has a unique LAC12 gene (encodes lactose permease), K. marxianus possesses four. The presence of degenerated copies and Solo-LTRs related to retrotransposon TKM close to the LAC12 genes in K. marxianus indicates ectopic recombinations. The Lac12 permeases of K. marxianus and K. lactis are conserved, however the conservation is higher between the copy of the left side of the chromosome three and the unique copy of K. lactis, indicating that this copy is the ancestor. The expression of the four LAC12 genes occurred in aerobiosis and hypoxia. Notably, the high lactose consumption in hypoxia seems to be related to the high expression of the LAC12 genes. 相似文献

The alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) isozymes induced in flooded roots of the diploid plant Stephanomeria exigua are specified by tightly linked genes comprising a complex locus, Adh1. Individuals homozygous for a complex with two active genes which specify electrophoretically different subunits have three ADH-I isozymes, two intragenic homodimers and an intergenic heterodimer. Individual isozymes were partially purified from plants homozygous for several different Adh1 complexes and apparent K
m
values for acetaldehyde, ethanol, NAD, and NADH and responses to temperature, pH, and two different alcohols were determined. The two homodimeric enzymes specified by a particular Adh1 complex generally differed in one or more of the properties studied, and in three of four cases, intergenic heterodimers differed significantly from intermediacy, often having lower K
m
values than either homodimer. None of the isozymes studied could be considered greatly divergent or defective. Constraints on evolution of duplicate genes which form intergenic heterodimers are considered. 相似文献

Pearl millet (Pennisetum typhoides) produces three ADH isozymes, sets I, II, and III, with set III being expressed only in anaerobically treated seeds or seedlings. Variant strains have been identified which produce ADH isozymes with altered electrophoretic mobilities for sets I and II but not for set III activity. Based on genetic analysis of these variants and on dissociation-reassociation experiments, we propose that the three ADH isozymes are dimers of subunits coded by two structural genes, Adh1 and Adh2, with set I being a homodimer specified by Adh1, set III a homodimer specified by Adh2, and set II a heterodimer formed between the products of Adh1 and Adh2.This work was supported by BRSG Grant RR 07080 awarded by the Biomedical Research Grant Program, Division of Research Grants, National Institutes of Health, to D.

The aim of this work was to obtain insights about the factors that determine the lactose fermentative metabolism of Kluyveromyces marxianus UFV-3. K. marxianus UFV-3 and Kluyveromyces lactis JA6 were cultured in a minimal medium containing different lactose concentrations (ranging from 0.25 to 64 mmol l−1) under aerobic and hypoxic conditions to evaluate their growth kinetics, gene expression and enzymatic activity. The increase
in lactose concentration and the decrease in oxygen level favoured ethanol yield for both yeasts but in K. marxianus UFV-3 the effect was more pronounced. Under hypoxic conditions, the activities of β-galactosidase and pyruvate decarboxylase
from K. marxianus UFV-3 were significantly higher than those in K. lactis JA6. The expression of the LAC4 (β-galactosidase), RAG6 (pyruvate decarboxylase), GAL7 (galactose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase) and GAL10 (epimerase) genes in K. marxianus UFV-3 was higher under hypoxic conditions than under aerobic conditions. The high expression of genes of the Leloir pathway,
LAC4 and RAG6, associated with the high activity of β-galactosidase and pyruvate decarboxylase contribute to the high fermentative flux
in K. marxianus UFV-3. These data on the fermentative metabolism of K. marxianus UFV-3 will be useful for optimising the conversion of cheese whey lactose to ethanol. 相似文献

This study demonstrates that homoeologous genes in two diploid plant species that specify different amounts of an enzyme maintain the same relative level of expression in an allotetraploid derivative. The three predominant alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) isozymes (DD, DP, PP) in seeds of the recently evolved allotetraploid plant Tragopogon miscellus (Compositae) are dimers specified by Adh3-D and Adh3-P genes derived from its diploid progenitors T. dubius and T. pratensis. Seeds of T. pratensis contain twice as much ADH activity as those of T. dubius, while T. miscellus is intermediate. The three isozymes were similar in a number of catalytic properties; the densitometric ratio of the isozymes purified from T. miscellus was 1 DD:4DP:4PP for both ADH activity and protein; and dissociation-reassociation of the DP enzyme gave a 1:2:1 ratio of the three isozymes. Therefore, the enzymes were similar in specific activity, but twice as many P as D subunits were present in active enzymes in T. miscellus, precisely the difference in activity between the parents. In T. miscellus, the specific activity of ADH and its activity per mg tissue are intermediate to those of the diploids, because relative expression of the Adh gene in each genome is not influenced by the presence of the other genome. 相似文献

The function of mitochondrial Adh3 in the thermotolerant yeast Kluyveromyces marxianus was investigated. An ADH3-disrupted mutant exhibited growth retardation on non-fermentable carbon sources, except for ethanol, and this was suppressed by supplementation with antioxidants. Detailed analysis of the phenotype revealed that the mutant showed an increase in the activity of NADH dehydrogenase, sensitivity to H2O2, and accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), and that these carbon sources increased the activity of succinate dehydrogenase. The increase in both activities may reflect enhanced expression of both dehydrogenases by elevation of their substrate levels. The ROS level became low when antioxidants were added. These findings suggest that the ADH3 mutation and such carbon sources cause an elevation of the substrate level of the respiratory chain and eventually of the ROS level via increased expression of primary dehydrogenases, which in turn causes cell growth retardation. Adh3 might thus play a crucial role in the control of the NADH/NAD+ balance in mitochondria. 相似文献

The mitochondrial MDH isozymes in the scutellum of the mature maize (Zea mays L.) kernel are encoded by three independently inherited nuclear genes. Mdh1 is located on chromosome 8, close to the breakpoint (8L.35) of a waxy-marked reciprocal translocation between chromosomes 8 and 9. Mdh2 is located in the distal region of the long arm of chromosome 6. Mdh3 is on the long arm of chromosome 3, approximately 2.6 map units from sh2. A modifier of the mitochondrial MDH isozymes (Mmm) maps approximately 27.5 units proximal to Adh1 in the central portion of the long arm of chromosome 1. Independently assorting duplicate genes code for the soluble MDH isozymes. Mdh4 is located in the same region of chromosome 1 as Mmm, approximately 29 map units proximal to Adh1. Mdh5 maps approximately 20 units distal to a2 in the short arm of chromosome 5.——Intergenic and interallelic heterodimer formation occurs among gene products that occupy the same subcellular compartment. MDH isozymes were purified and analyzed by native-SDS two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The proposed mitochondrial MDH intergenic heterodimer bands were found to be composed of two subunits, which differ in their migrations on SDS gels; whereas, genetically defined homodimers contained only one type of subunit.——This evidence is discussed in terms of two genetic models proposed for the maize mitochondrial MDH isozymes. 相似文献

Study of the biochemical genetics of alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) in the annual plant Stephanomeria exigua (Compositae) revealed that the isozymes are specified by a small family of tightly linked structural genes. One set of ADH isozymes (ADH-1) was induced in roots by flooding, and was also expressed in thickened unflooded tap roots, stems, ovaries and seeds. As in other plants, the enzymes are dimeric and form homo- and heterodimers. An electrophoretic survey of ADH-1 phenotypes in two natural populations revealed seven different ADH-1 homodimers in various phenotypes having one to eight enzyme bands. Genetic analysis of segregations from crosses involving 59 plants showed that the ADH-1 isozymes are inherited as a single Mendelian unit, Adh1. Adh1 is polymorphic for forms that specify one, two, or three different ADH-1 subunits (which combine to form homo- and heterodimers), and are expressed co-dominantly in all genotypic combinations. Staining intensity of enzymes extracted from various homozygous and heterozygous plants indicated that the different subunit types specified by Adh1 are produced in approximately equal amounts. These observations suggest that Adh1 is a compound locus consisting of one to several tightly linked (0 recombinants among 579 testcross progeny), coordinately expressed structural genes. The genes in the two triplications also occur in various duplicate complexes and thus could have originated via unequal crossing over. The ADH-2 isozyme found in pollen and seeds is apparently specified by a different gene, Adh2. Adh1 and Adh2 are tightly linked (0 recombinants among 81 testcross progeny). 相似文献

Phylogenetic analysis of isolated biofuel yeasts based on 5.8S-ITS rDNA and D1/D2 26S rDNA sequences
《Journal of Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology》2014,12(1):37-43
The utilization of agro-industrial wastes such as whey as raw materials for the production of bio-ethanol is gaining importance as a result of the attractiveness of renewable fuel alternatives due to exhaustion of fossil fuel sources coupled with the positive impact to the environment. Here, we report the isolation of two Kluyveromyces spp. designated as BM4 and P41, able to produce ethanol as main fermentation product from fermenting whey. Three different molecular biological approaches including, the RFLP analysis of the 5.8S-ITS rDNA, the sequence of the 5.8S-ITS rDNA region and the sequence of the D1/D2 domain of the 26S rRNA gene were applied for accurate identification. While RFLP analysis of 5.8S-ITS region failed to accurate the differentiation between the two species, sequencing of this region and D1/D2 region of the 26S rRNA gene verified the identification. PCR amplification and sequence analysis of 5.8S-ITS rRNA and D1/D2 domain of the 26S rRNA genes revealed that the isolates BM4 and P41 were highly related to Kluyveromyces marxianus and Kluyveromyces lactis with homology of 99% for both. In addition, phylogenetic analysis indicated that both BM4 and P41 shared a cluster with K. marxianus and K. lactis, respectively. The fermentative performance of both strains on cheese whey to produce ethanol was evaluated at different parameters such as incubation temperature, initial pH, whey sugar concentrations, and yeast concentrations. Results show that the maximum ethanol productions achieved at pH 4.5 and 35 °C were 5.52% and 5.05% for K. marxianus and K. lactis, respectively. Our results demonstrated that K. marxianus and K. Lactis could be recommended for cheese whey bioremediation in the environment and produce renewable biofuel. 相似文献

Summary This research provides insight into the expression of thermotolerance-related genes in Kluyveromyces marxianus by differential display polymerase chain reaction (DD-PCR) techniques. Fourteen differential expressed sequence tags (ESTs)
were observed and one of them, SHWBY10 was confirmed to be positive by reverse Northern blot analysis. The sequence has the
GenBank Accession ID No. CD374838. DNA sequencing showed that it encoded a 279 bp ORF containing 92 amino acids. Analysis
of protein sequence indicated that it has significant sequence homology with a peroxisomal protein product (gi 50309315) from
Kluyveromyces lactis. This discovery suggests this gene may be related to yeast thermotolerance. 相似文献

Two linked genes, Adh1 and Adh2, specify three sets of ADH isozymes in pearl millet. Set I is a homodimer specified by Adh1, Set III is a homodimer specified by Adh2, and Set II is a heterodimer consisting of one ADH1 subunit and one ADH2 subunit. Dry seeds exhibit only Sets I and II. Anaerobic treatment of seeds greatly increases the activity of Sets I and II and causes the Set III isozymes to be expressed. In the investigation reported here, the ADH zymogram phenotypes of 112 inbred pearl millet lines were analyzed. Two kinds of naturally occurring ADH variant strains were observed: in the low-activity variant, Set II activity is low in the dry seed, and no Set III activity is present upon anaerobic treatment. In the high-activity variant, Set II activity is high and Set III isozymes are expressed in the dry seed. The mutation in the high-activity strain appears to affect the product of Adh2 and not the product of Adh1. Dominance tests show that the mutations in both types of variant strains act in cis. These observations and linkage tests indicate that the mutations are closely linked to or at the Adh2 locus.This work was supported by a PHS National Research Service Award Training Grant in Genetics to the Biology Department of the University of Oregon. 相似文献

Xylulokinase is one of the key enzymes in xylose metabolism and fermentation, and fine-tuned expression of xylulokinase can
improve xylose fermentation in yeast. To improve the efficiency of xylose fermentation in Kluyveromyces marxianus, the gene KmXYL3, which encodes a d-xylulokinase (E.C. 2.7.1.17), was isolated from K. marxianus NBRC1777. KmXYL3 was expressed in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3) cells, and the specific activity of the resulting recombinant purified xylulokinase was 23.5 mU/mg. Disruption
of KmXYL3 resulted in both loss of xylitol utilization and marked decrease in xylose utilization, proving that KmXYL3 encodes a xylulokinase that catalyzes the reaction from xylulose to xylulose 5-phosphate in the xylose metabolic pathway.
The slow assimilation of xylose observed in the KmXYL3-disrupted strain indicates that KmXYL3 is critical for xylose and xylitol utilization; however, K. marxianus utilizes a bypass pathway for xylose assimilation, and this pathway does not involve xylitol or xylulose. 相似文献

In the present work, a thermophilic esterase from Thermus thermophilus HB27 was cloned into Kluyveromyces marxianus and into Kluyveromyces lactis using two different expression systems, yielding four recombinant strains. K. lactis showed the highest esterase expression levels (294 units per gram dry cell weight, with 65% of cell-bound enzyme) using an
episomal system with the PGK promoter and terminator from Saccharomyces cerevisiae combined with the K. lactis k1 secretion signal. K. marxianus showed higher secretion efficiency of the heterologous esterase (56.9 units per gram dry cell weight, with 34% of cell-bound
enzyme) than K. lactis. Hydrolytic activities for the heterologous esterases were maximum at pH values between 8.0 and 9.0 for both yeast species
and at temperatures of 50 °C and 45 °C for K. marxianus and K. lactis, respectively. When compared to previously published data on this same esterase produced in the original host or in S. cerevisiae, our results indicate that Kluyveromyces yeasts can be considered good hosts for the heterologous secretion of thermophilic esterases, which have a potential application
in biodiesel production or in resolving racemates. 相似文献

An extracellular endo-polygalacturonase (PGase) produced by a mutant of Saccharomyces cerevisiae was isolated. The enzyme was regarded, immunologically, as a PGase belonging to the Kluyveromyces marxianus group. The enzyme had properties similar to the PGase from K. marxianus in heat and pH stability, and N-terminal amino acid sequence. However, the enzyme showed different properties in optimum pH and temperature, molecular weight, and reactivity in antiserum against PGase from K. marxianus, indicating that the enzyme has a different molecular structure from the PGase from K. marxianus. 相似文献

Two unlinked genes, Adh
1 and Adh
2, control the production of alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) in seeds of the annual sunflower (Helianthus annuus). Each gene is polymorphic, having F and S alleles. Starch gel electrophoretic zymograms of the four possible double homozygotes have three bands, representing two homodimers and an intermediately migrating intergenic isozyme. Zymograms of double heterozygotes consist of nine bands produced by ten isozymes: six intragenics and four intergenics, two of which are coincident. Results of dissociation-recombination (D-R) experiments are reported which demonstrate the subunit composition of the intergenic isozymes, thus supporting the relationships suggested by genetic studies. Densitometric tracings of the zymogram of a cleared gel and measurements of activities of homodimer isozymes eluted from gels following D-R of an intergenic isozyme showed that the Adh
2 isozymes were more than twice as active as those of Adh
1. Measurements of activities of crude extracts from the four possible double homozygous genotypes indicated that the seeds of the genotype Adh

produced more activity than the other three. This genotype is the most common one found in wild and cultivated stocks. Isozymes eluted following electrophoresis of the same extracts had averages of 19%, 70%, and 11% of total activity contributed by the Adh
1, Adh2, and intergenic isozymes, respectively. A simple but efficient method of isozyme elution from starch gels is described which resulted in nearly full expected recovery (approximately 46%) of the ADH activity in the applied sample.Supported by Graduate School and BioMed grants and by NSF Grant GB35853. 相似文献

In the olive fruit fly Bactrocera oleae and the med fly Ceratitis capitata previous studies have shown the existence of two Adh genes in each species. This observation, in combination with the former finding that various Drosophila species of virilis and repleta group encode two isozymes of ADH which are the result of a gene duplication, challenged us to address a scenario dealing with the evolutionary history of the Adh gene duplication in Tephritidae. In our lab we proceeded to the cloning and sequence analysis of Adh genes from more tephritid species, a prerequisite for further study of this issue. Here we show that phylogenetic trees produced from either the nucleotide or the amino acid sequences of 14 tephritid Adh genes consisted of two main clusters, with Adh sequences of the same type grouping together (i.e., Adh1 sequences form a cluster and Adh2 sequences form a second one), as expected if there was one duplication event before speciation within the family Tephritidae. We used the amount of divergence between the two isozymic forms of Adh of the species carrying both Adh1 and Adh2 genes to obtain an estimate of the age of the duplication event. Interestingly, our data again support the hypothesis that the duplication of an ancestral Adh single gene in the family Tephritidae occurred before the emergence of the genera Bactrocera and Ceratitis, thus suggesting that Adh duplication was based on a prespeciation rather than a postspeciation event that might have involved two independent duplication events, one in each of the two genera. 相似文献

The expression of the enzyme-coding genes, controlling glucose-phosphate isomerase (GPI), malate dehydrogenase (MDH), and
alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH), was examined in nongerminating seeds of sugarbeet after Triton X-100 (TX-100) and colchicine
treatment. Two types of changes revealed included modification of the enzymatic loci expression (change of the isozyme electrophoretic
mobility) and inactivation of standard profiles. In the MDH and GPI systems, these processes were found to be associated.
Complete isozyme modification was accompanied with the disappearance of standard profiles. In the ADH system, the treatment
with TX-100 and colchicine gave rise to two independent processes, including silencing of the Adh1 locus and the appearance of the ADH isozymes with abnormal electrophoretic mobility, which were probably the products of
the Adh2 locus. It was suggested that the effect of TX-100 and colchicine on the expression of the enzyme-encoding genes examined
depended on the intracellular localization of the encoded enzymes. 相似文献

Elymus L. is the largest genus in Triticeae, containing about 150 species with four recognized genome donors (St, H, P, and W).
Traditionally, the genome compound of this genus is identified based on cytological data. Recently, molecular phylogenetic
analysis was used to investigate its genomic combination. Here we describe a restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP)
assay based on digesting alcohol dehydrogenase (Adh) amplicons with two restriction enzyme combinations, EcoRI–HindIII and EcoRI–PstI, which easily can be used to distinguish Elymus and its closely related genera genomes. The method includes only four steps: (1) amplifying nuclear Adh genes with universal primers; (2) purifying and cloning PCR products; (3) digesting plasmids with restriction enzymes that
identify a given genome; (4) running the digested products on an agarose gel and identify the sample based on the restriction
profiles. Results showed that: (1) PCR products ranged from 1,200 to 2,000 bp; (2) Adh2 gene was amplified from all the tested genomes; Adh1 gene was amplified from almost all of the tested genomes except the W genome; Adh3 gene was amplified only from the St genome; (3) the EcoRI–HindIII combination was effective to distinguish different Adh gene types (Adh1, Adh2, and Adh3); (4) the Adh2–EcoRI–PstI fragments could be used to distinguish Elymus and its closely related genera genomes. Therefore, This RFLP assay provides an inexpensive and simple means of identifying
Elymus genomes. 相似文献
