Xylitol and riboflavin accumulation in xylose-grown cultures of Pichia guilliermondii 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Seven strains of Pichia guilliermondii (Candida guilliermondii, asexual state) from diverse isolation sources were examined for the production of xylitol and riboflavin in xylose-grown
cultures. Under the conditions tested, all strains produced xylitol from xylose; conversion efficiencies varied, on a strain-specific
basis, from 7% to 36% of the initial substrate. Four of seven strains metabolized xylitol immediately as xylose levels became
depleted. The remaining three strains metabolized xylitol slowly and incompletely. Surprisingly, utilization of xylitol showed
an apparent relationship with riboflavin production. Strains that readily metabolized xylitol produced at least threefold
greater levels of riboflavin than did strains that used xylitol slowly. Moreover, riboflavin accumulation took place during
xylitol consumption. P. guilliermondii strains that produced the highest levels of riboflavin on xylose produced significantly less riboflavin when grown on glucose
or directly on xylitol.

A Pichia pastoris strain with stereoselective nitrile hydratase activity has been constructed by engineering the co-expression of three genes
derived from Pseudomonas putida. Using a technique that could be widely applicable, the genes encoding nitrile hydratase α and β structural subunits and
P14K accessory protein were first assembled as individual expression cassettes and then incorporated onto one plasmid, which
was integrated into the P. pastoris chromosome. The resulting strain can be used as a catalyst for bioconversions requiring stereospecific nitrile hydrolysis.

The bioconversion of xylose to xylitol by Candida guilliermondii FTI 20037 cultivated in sugar cane bagasse hemicellulosic hydrolyzate was influenced by cell inoculum level, age of inoculum
and hydrolyzate concentration. The maximum xylitol productivity (0.75 g L−1 h−1) occurred in tests carried out with hydrolyzate containing 54.5 g L−1 of xylose, using 3.0 g L−1 of a 24-h-old inoculum. Xylitol productivity and cell concentration decreased with hydrolyzate containing 74.2 g L−1 of xylose.

Saccharomyces cerevisiae was transformed with the Pichia stipitis CBS 6054 XYL1 and XYL2 genes encoding xylose reductase (XR) and xylitol dehydrogenase (XDH) respectively. The XYL1 and XYL2 genes were placed under the control of the alcohol dehydrogenase 1 (ADH1) and phosphoglycerate kinase (PGK1) promoters in the yeast vector YEp24. Different vector constructions were made resulting in different specific activities
of XR and XDH. The XR:XDH ratio (ratio of specific enzyme activities) of the transformed S. cerevisiae strains varied from 17.5 to 0.06. In order to enhance xylose utilisation in the XYL1-, XYL2-containing S. cerevisiae strains, the native genes encoding transketolase and transaldolase were also overexpressed. A strain with an XR:XDH ratio
of 17.5 formed 0.82 g xylitol/g consumed xylose, whereas a strain with an XR:XDH ratio of 5.0 formed 0.58 g xylitol/g xylose.
The strain with an XR:XDH ratio of 0.06, on the other hand, formed no xylitol and less glycerol and acetic acid compared with
strains with the higher XR:XDH ratios. In addition, the strain with an XR:XDH ratio of 0.06 produced more ethanol than the
other strains.

Chemostat study of xylitol production by Candida guilliermondii 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The mechanism of production of xylitol from xylose by Candida guilliermondii was studied using chemostat cultures and enzymatic assays. The maximum dilution rate in aerobic conditions was 0.34 1/h.
No xylitol was produced. Under oxygen-limited conditions xylose uptake was impaired and glycerol accumulated but no xylitol
was detected. Under transient oxygen limitation, caused by a gradual decrease in the agitation rate, onset of xylitol, acetate
and residual xylose accumulation occurred simultaneously when q
O2 dropped below 25 mmol/C-mmol cell dry weight (CDW) per hour. Ethanol and glycerol started to accumulate when q
O2 dropped below 20 mmol/C-mmol CDW per hour. The highest in vitro enzyme activities were found at the lowest dilution rate
studied (0.091/h) under aerobic conditions. The amount of active enzymes or cofactor availability did not limit the rate of
xylose consumption. Our results confirm that a surplus of NADH during transient oxygen limitation inhibited the activity of
xylitol dehydrogenase which resulted in xylitol accumulation. Phosphoglucoisomerase (E.C. 5.3.1.9.) and glucose-6-phosphate
dehydrogenase (E.C. 1.1.1.49) activities suggest re-shuttling of the metabolites into the pentose phosphate pathway.

The xylose reductase gene (XYL1) was isolated from Pichia stipitis and Candida shehatae, cloned into YEp-based vectors under the control of ADH2 and PGK1 promoter/terminator cassettes and introduced into Saccharomyces cerevisiae Y294 by electroporation. Shake-flask fermentations were carried out with 5% xylose and 1% galactose, glucose or maltose as
co-substrates. Xylose uptake was similar in both the recombinant strains when different co-substrates were used and slowed
once the co-substrate was depleted. The recombinant strains converted xylose to xylitol with yields approaching the theoretical
maxima. Xylitol production was most rapid when the co-substrate was still present. Approximately 50% of the xylose was not
metabolized due to the depletion of the co-substrate.

Candida shehatae gene xyl1 and Pichia stipitis gene xyl2, encoding xylose reductase (XR) and xylitol dehydrogenase (XD) respectively, were amplified by PCR. The genes xyl1 and xyl2 were placed under the control of promoter GAL in vector pYES2 to construct the recombinant expression vector pYES2-P12. Subsequently the vector pYES2-P12 was transformed
into S. cerevisiae YS58 by LiAc to produce the recombinant yeast YS58-12. The alcoholic ferment indicated that the recombinant yeast YS58-12
could convert xylose to ethanol with the xylose consumption rate of 81.3%.

Sea raven type II antifreeze protein (SRAFP) is one of three different fish antifreeze proteins isolated to date. These proteins
are known to bind to the surface of ice and inhibit its growth. To solve the three-dimensional structure of SRAFP, study its
ice-binding mechanism, and as a basis for engineering these molecules, an efficient system for its biosynthetic production
was developed. Several different expression systems have been tested including baculovirus, Escherichia coli and yeast. The latter, using the methylotrophic organism Pichia pastoris as the host, was the most productive. In shake-flask cultures the levels of SRAFP secreted from Pichia were up to 5 mg/l. The recombinant protein has an identical activity to SRAFP from sea raven serum. In order to increase
yields further, four different strategies were tested in 10-l fermentation vessels, including: (1) optimization of pH and
dissolved oxygen, (2) mixed feeding of methanol and glycerol with Muts clones, (3) supplementation of amino acid building blocks, and (4) methanol feeding with Mut+ clones. The mixed-feeding/Muts strategy proved to be the most efficient with SRAFP yields reaching 30 mg/l.

Xylose utilisation by recombinant strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae on different carbon sources 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Autoselective xylose-utilising strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae expressing the xylose reductase (XYL1) and xylitol dehydrogenase (XYL2) genes of Pichia stipitis were constructed by replacing the chromosomal FUR1 gene with a disrupted fur1::LEU2 allele. Anaerobic fermentations with 80 g l−1
d-xylose as substrate showed a twofold higher consumption of xylose in complex medium compared to defined medium. The xylose
consumption rate increased a further threefold when 20 g l−1
d-glucose or raffinose was used as co-substrate together with 50 g l−1
d-xylose. Xylose consumption was higher with raffinose as co-substrate than with glucose (85% versus 71%, respectively) after
82 h fermentations. A high initial ethanol concentration and moderate levels of glycerol and acetic acid accompanied glucose
as co-substrate, whereas the ethanol concentration gradually increased with raffinose as co-substrate with no glycerol and
much less acetic acid formation.

Heterologous protein production in methylotrophic yeasts 总被引:15,自引:0,他引:15
Gellissen G 《Applied microbiology and biotechnology》2000,54(6):741-750
The facultative methylotrophic yeasts Candida boidinii, Pichia methanolica, Pichia pastoris and Hansenula polymorpha have been developed as systems for heterologous gene expression. They are based on strong and regulatable promoters for expression
control derived from methanol metabolism pathway genes. An increasing number of biotechnological applications attest to their
status as preferred options among the various gene expression hosts. The well-established P. pastoris and H. polymorpha systems have been utilized in especially competitive and consistent industrial-scale production processes. Pharmaceuticals
and technical enzymes produced in these methylotrophs have either already entered the market or are expected to do so in the
near future. The article describes the present status of the methylotrophic yeasts as expression systems, focusing on applied
examples of the recent past.

Respiratory and fermentative pathways co-exist to support growth and product formation in Pichia stipitis. This yeast grows rapidly without ethanol production under fully aerobic conditions, and it ferments glucose or xylose under
oxygen-limited conditions, but it stops growing within one generation under anaerobic conditions. Expression of Saccharomyces cerevisiaeURA1 (ScURA1) in P. stipitis enabled rapid anaerobic growth in minimal defined medium containing glucose when essential lipids were present. ScURA1 encodes a dihydroorotate dehydrogenase that uses fumarate as an alternative electron acceptor to confer anaerobic growth.
Initial P. stipitis transformants grew and produced 32 g/l ethanol from 78 g/l glucose. Cells produced even more ethanol faster following two
anaerobic serial subcultures. Control strains without ScURA1 were incapable of growing anaerobically and showed only limited fermentation. P. stipitis cells bearing ScURA1 were viable in anaerobic xylose medium for long periods, and supplemental glucose allowed cell growth, but xylose alone could
not support anaerobic growth even after serial anaerobic subculture on glucose. These data imply that P. stipitis can grow anaerobically using metabolic energy generated through fermentation but that it exhibits fundamental differences
in cofactor selection and electron transport with glucose and xylose metabolism. This is the first report of genetic engineering
to enable anaerobic growth of a eukaryote.

Overexpression of a cytosolic hydroxymethylglutaryl-CoA reductase leads to squalene accumulation in yeast 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
The enzyme 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme-A (HMG-CoA) reductase is known as the rate-limiting enzyme in early sterol
biosynthesis in eukaryotic cells. To eliminate this regulation in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, a truncated HMG1 gene, producing a form of the enzyme that lacks the membrane-binding region (i.e. amino acids 1–552), was constructed and
overexpressed in this yeast. The transformed strains accumulated large amounts of the sterol precursor squalene, while the
levels of ergosterol and a number of other sterol compounds were only slightly elevated. These findings suggest that HMG-CoA
reductase is not the only rate-limiting step in sterol synthesis and its overexpression cannot significantly influence this
pathway beyond the sterol precursor squalene.

A gene library from the thermophilic eubacterium Rhodothermus marinus, strain ITI 378, was constructed in pUC18 and transformed into Escherichia coli. Of 5400 transformants, 3 were active on carboxymethylcellulose. Three plasmids conferring cellulase activity were purified
and were all found to contain the same cellulase gene, celA. The open reading frame for the celA gene is 780 base pairs and encodes a protein of 260 amino acids with a calculated molecular mass of 28.8 kDa. The amino acid
sequence shows homology with cellulases in glycosyl hydrolase family 12. The celA gene was overexpressed in E. coli when the pET23, T7 phage RNA polymerase system was used. The enzyme showed activity on carboxymethylcellulose and lichenan,
but not on birch xylan or laminarin. The expressed enzyme had six terminal histidine residues and was purified by using a
nickel nitrilotriacetate column. The enzyme had a pH optimum of 6–7 and its highest measured initial activity at 100 °C. The
heat stability of the enzyme was increased by removal of the histidine residues. It then retained 75% of its activity after
8 h at 90 °C.

The methylotrophic yeast Pichia pastoris was tested as a host for the production of long, repetitive protein polymers. Synthetic genes for a designed analog of a
spider dragline silk protein were readily expressed at high levels under control of the methanol-inducible AOX1 promoter. Transformants containing multiple gene copies produced elevated levels of silk protein, but of a variety of altered
sizes as a result of gene rearrangements at the time of transformation. Genes up to 3000 codons in length or longer could
be expressed with no evidence of the prevalent truncated synthesis observed for similar genes in Escherichia coli, though genes longer than 1600 codons were expressed less efficiently than shorter genes. Silk-producing P. pastoris strains were stable without selection for at least 100 doublings.

The extracellular inulinase structural gene was isolated from the genomic DNA of the marine yeast Pichia guilliermondii strain 1 by PCR. The gene had an open reading frame of 1,542 bp long encoding an inulinase. The coding region of the gene
was not interrupted by any intron. It encoded 514 amino acid residues of a protein with a putative signal peptide of 18 amino
acids and the calculated molecular mass of 58.04 kDa. The protein sequence deduced from the inulinase structural gene contained
the inulinase consensus sequences (WMNXPNGL) and (RDPKVF). It also had ten conserved putative N-glycosylation sites. The inulinase from P. guilliermondii strain 1 was found to be closely related to that from Kluyveromyces marxianus. The inulinase gene without the signal sequence was subcloned into pPICZαA expression vector and expressed in Pichia pastoris X-33. The expressed fusion protein was analyzed by SDS-PAGE and western blotting and a specific band with molecular mass
of about 60 kDa was found. Enzyme activity assay verified the recombinant protein as an inulinase. A maximum activity of 58.7 ± 0.12 U/ml
was obtained from the culture supernatant of P. pastoris X-33 harboring the inulinase gene. A large amount of monosaccharides, disaccharides and oligosaccharides were detected after
the hydrolysis of inulin with the crude recombinant inulinase. 相似文献

Effect of glucose on xylose utilization in <Emphasis Type="Italic">Saccharomyces cerevisiae</Emphasis> harboring the xylose reductase gene 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
We have constructed recombinant Saccharomyces cerevisiae JH1 harboring a xylose reductase gene (xyl1) isolated from Pichia stipitis. However, JH1 still utilizes glucose more easily than xylose. Therefore, in this study, we characterized the effect of a
glucose supplement on xylose utilization, the expression level of xylose reductase as a recombinant gene in JH1, and the expression
levels of two hexose transporters (Hxt4 and Hxt7) due to co-fermentation of different concentrations of glucose and xylose.
Co-fermentation using 20 g/l of glucose increased xylose consumption up to 11.7 g/l, which was 7.9-fold that of xylose fermentation
without a glucose supplement. In addition, we found xyl1 mRNA levels dramatically increased as cells grew under co-fermentation conditions with supplementary glucose; this result
is consistent with a significant decrease in the xylose concentration 48 h after cultivation. In addition, the expression
levels of Hxt4 and Hxt7 were strongly activated by the presence of glucose and xylose; in particular, Hxt7 showed a 2.9-fold
increased expression relative to that of recombinant S. cerevisiae JHM with only a backbone vector, pYES2. The results of this study suggest that xylose utilization would be improved by activation
of hexose transporters induced by glucose (rather than xylose) reductase expression. 相似文献

The gene for the thermostable pyruvate kinase of Microbispora thermodiastatica IFO 14046, a moderate thermophilic actinomycete, was cloned in Escherichia coli. This gene consists of an open reading frame of 1422 nucleotides and encodes a protein of 474 amino acids with molecular
mass of 50 805 Da. The open reading frame was confirmed as the pyruvate kinase gene by comparison with the N-terminal amino
acid sequence of the purified pyruvate kinase from M. thermodiastatica.

Several thermophilic actinomycetes were isolated from urban solid waste. One of them, Thermomonospora alba ULJB1, showed a broad degradative activity on xylan, cellulose, starch and other polymers. Xylanase and cellulase activities
were quantified and compared with those of Thermomonospora fusca. Genes encoding two different endo-β-1,4-xylanases were cloned from T.␣alba ULJB1. One of them, xylA, was sequenced, subcloned and overexpressed in Streptomyces lividans. It encodes a protein of 482 amino acids with a deduced molecular mass of 48 456 Da. The protein contains a 38-amino-acid
leader peptide with six Arg+ residues in its amino-terminal end, a catalytic domain and a cellulose-binding domain connected by a linker region rich in
proline and glycine. The XylA protein was purified to near homogeneity from S. lividans/xylA cultures. Two forms of the extracellular xylanase, of 48 kDa and 38 kDa, were produced that differed in their cellulose-binding
ability. The 48-kDa protein showed a strong binding to cellulose whereas the 38-kDa form did not bind to this polymer, apparently
because of the removal during processing of the cellulose-binding domain. Both forms were able to degrade xylans form different
origins but not lichenam or carboxymethylcellulose. The major degradation product was xylobiose with traces of xylose. The
xylanase activity was thermostable, showing a good activity up to 95 °C, and had broad pH stability in the range from pH 4.0
to pH 10.0.

The co-metabolism of citrate plus xylose by Leuconostoc mesenteroides subsp. mesenteroides results in a growth stimulation, an increase in d-lactate and acetate production and repression of ethanol production. This correlated well with the levels of key enzymes
involved. A partial repression of alcohol dehydrogenase and a marked stimulation of acetate kinase were observed. High citrate
bioconversion yields in diacetyl plus acetoin were obtained at pH 5.2 in batch (11.5%) or in chemostat (up to 17.4%) culture.
In contrast, no diacetyl or acetoin was detected in citrate plus glucose fermentation.

A recombinant form of the sweet-tasting protein thaumatin has been produced in the filamentous fungus Aspergillus niger var. awamori. Expression cassettes containing a synthetic gene encoding thaumatin II were prepared and used to transform Aspergillus niger var. awamori strain NRRL312. Several fungal strains capable of synthesizing and secreting thaumatin into the culture medium were generated,
and their production capabilities were determined, first in shake flasks and later in a laboratory fermentor. We report the
expression and secretion of thaumatin in concentrations of 5–7 mg/l. This recombinant thaumatin is sweet.
