To illustrate the effect of a cellulose-binding domain (CBD) on the enzymatic characteristics of non-cellulolytic exoglucanases, 10 different recombinant enzymes were constructed combining the Saccharomyces cerevisiae exoglucanases, EXG1 and SSG1, with the CBD2 from the Trichoderma reesei cellobiohydrolase, CBH2, and a linker peptide. The enzymatic activity of the recombinant enzymes increased with the CBD copy number. The recombinant enzymes, CBD2-CBD2-L-EXG1 and CBD2-CBD2-SSG1, exhibited the highest cellobiohydrolase activity (17.5 and 16.3 U mg –1 respectively) on Avicel cellulose, which is approximately 1.5- to 2-fold higher than the native enzymes. The molecular organisation of CBD in these recombinant enzymes enhanced substrate affinity, molecular flexibility and synergistic activity, contributing to their elevated action on the recalcitrant substrates as characterised by adsorption, kinetics, thermostability and scanning electron microscopic analysis.  相似文献

A whole-cell biocatalyst with the ability to induce synergistic and sequential cellulose-degradation reaction was constructed through codisplay of three types of cellulolytic enzyme on the cell surface of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. When a cell surface display system based on alpha-agglutinin was used, Trichoderma reesei endoglucanase II and cellobiohydrolase II and Aspergillus aculeatus beta-glucosidase 1 were simultaneously codisplayed as individual fusion proteins with the C-terminal-half region of alpha-agglutinin. Codisplay of the three enzymes on the cell surface was confirmed by observation of immunofluorescence-labeled cells with a fluorescence microscope. A yeast strain codisplaying endoglucanase II and cellobiohydrolase II showed significantly higher hydrolytic activity with amorphous cellulose (phosphoric acid-swollen cellulose) than one displaying only endoglucanase II, and its main product was cellobiose; codisplay of beta-glucosidase 1, endoglucanase II, and cellobiohydrolase II enabled the yeast strain to directly produce ethanol from the amorphous cellulose (which a yeast strain codisplaying beta-glucosidase 1 and endoglucanase II could not), with a yield of approximately 3 g per liter from 10 g per liter within 40 h. The yield (in grams of ethanol produced per gram of carbohydrate consumed) was 0.45 g/g, which corresponds to 88.5% of the theoretical yield. This indicates that simultaneous and synergistic saccharification and fermentation of amorphous cellulose to ethanol can be efficiently accomplished using a yeast strain codisplaying the three cellulolytic enzymes.  相似文献

Enzyme engineering was performed to link the β-glucosidase enzyme (BGL1) from Saccharomycopsis fibuligera to the cellulose-binding domain (CBD2) of Trichoderma reesei cellobiohydrolase (CBHII) to investigate the effect of a fungal CBD on the enzymatic characteristics of this non-cellulolytic yeast enzyme. Recombinant enzymes were constructed with single and double copies of CBD2 fused at the N-terminus of BGL1 to mimic the two-domain organization displayed by cellulolytic enzymes in nature. The engineered S. fibuligera β-glucosidases were expressed in Saccharomyces cerevisiae under the control of phosphoglycerate-kinase-1 promoter (PGK1 P ) and terminator (PGK1 T ) and yeast mating pheromone α-factor secretion signal (MFα1 S ). The secreted enzymes were purified and characterized using a range of cellulosic and non-cellulosic substrates to illustrate the effect of the CBD on their enzymatic activity. The results indicated that the recombinant enzymes of BGL1 displayed a 2–4-fold increase in their hydrolytic activity toward cellulosic substrates like avicel, amorphous cellulose, bacterial microcrystalline cellulose, and carboxy methyl cellulose in comparison with the native enzyme. The organization of the CBD in these recombinant enzymes also resulted in enhanced substrate affinity, molecular flexibility and synergistic activity, thereby improving the ability of the enzymes to act on and hydrolyze cellulosic substrates, as characterized by adsorption, kinetics, thermal stability, and scanning electron microscopic analyses.  相似文献

A gene encoding laccase I was identified and cloned from the white-rot fungus Trametes sp. Ha1. Laccase I contained 10 introns and an original secretion signal sequence. After laccase I without introns was prepared by overlapping polymerase chain reaction, it was inserted into expression vector pULD1 for yeast cell surface display. The oxidation activity of a laccase-I-displaying yeast as a whole-cell biocatalyst was examined with 2,2′-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) (ABTS), and the constructed yeast showed a high oxidation activity. After the pretreatment of hydrothermally processed rice straw (HPRS) with laccase-I-displaying yeast with ABTS, fermentation was conducted with yeast codisplaying endoglucanase, cellobiohydrolase, and β-glucosidase with HPRS. Fermentation of HPRS treated with laccase-I-displaying yeast was performed with 1.21-fold higher activities than those of HPRS treated with control yeast. The results indicated that pretreatment with laccase-I-displaying yeast with ABTS was effective for direct fermentation of cellulosic materials by yeast codisplaying endoglucanase, cellobiohydrolase, and β-glucosidase.  相似文献

Amylolytic industrial polyploid strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae (ATCC 4126, ATCC 9763 and ATCC 24858) expressing a glucoamylase gene (GAM1) or an α-amylase gene (AMY) from Debaryomyces occidentalis were developed. The glucoamylase activity of S. cerevisiae ATCC 9763 expressing the GAM1 gene was 3.7-times higher than that of D. occidentalis. On the other hand, α-amylase activity in the corresponding strain expressing the D. occidentalis AMY gene increased 10-times relative to D. occidentalis. These two recombinant yeast strains expressing the GAM1 gene and AMY gene, respectively were cultured simultaneously to produce both glucoamylase and α-amylase for efficient one-step utilization of starch. Growth, substrate utilization and enzyme activity of these strains are described.  相似文献

Summary Each one of at least three unlinked STA loci (STA1, STA2 and STA3), in the genome of Saccharomyces diastaticus controls starch hydrolysis by coding for an extracellular glucoamylase. Cloned STA2 sequences were used as hybridization probes to investigate the physical structure of the family of STA genes in the genomes of different Saccharomyces strains. Sta+ strains, each carrying a single genetically defined STA locus, were crossed with a Sta strain and the segregation behavior of the functional locus (i.e. Sta+) and sequences homologous to a cloned STA2 glucoamylase structural gene at that locus were analyzed. The results indicate that in all strains examined there is a multiplicity of sequences that are homologous to STA2 DNA but that only the functional STA loci contain extensive 5 and 3 homology to each other and can be identified as residing on unique fragments of DNA; that all laboratory yeast strains examined contain extensive regions of the glucoamylase gene sequences at or closely linked to the STA1 chromosomal position; that the STA1 locus contains two distinct glucoamylase gene sequences that are closely linked to each other; and that all laboratory strains examined also contain another ubiquitous sequence that is not allelic to STA1 and is nonfunctional (Sta), but has retained extensive sequence homology to the 5 end of the cloned STA2 gene. It was also determined that the DEX genes (which control dextrin hydrolysis in S. diastaticus), MAL5 (a gene once thought to control maltose metabolism in yeast) and the STA genes are allelic to each other in the following manner: STA1 and DEX2, STA1 and MAL5, and STA2 and DEX1 and STA3 and DEX3.  相似文献

To improve the cellulolytic activity of a yeast strain displaying endoglucanase II (EGII) from the filamentous fungus Trichoderma reesei QM9414, the genes encoding the cellulose-binding domain (CBD) of EGII, cellobiohydrolase I (CBHI) and cellobiohydrolase II (CBHII) from T. reesei QM9414, were fused with the catalytic domain of EGII and expressed in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Display of each of the recombinant EGIIs was confirmed using immunofluorescence microscopy. In the case of EGII-displaying yeast strains in which the CBD of EGII was replaced with the CBD of CBHI or CBHII, the binding affinity to Avicel and hydrolytic activity toward phosphoric acid swollen Avicel were similar to that of a yeast strain displaying wild-type EGII. On the other hand, the three yeast strains displaying EGII with two or three tandemly aligned CBDs showed binding affinity and hydrolytic activity higher than that of the yeast strain displaying wild-type EGII. This result indicates that the hydrolytic activity of yeast strains displaying recombinant EGII increases with increased binding ability to cellulose.  相似文献

Summary Saccharomyces diastaticus produces an extracellular glucoamylase and is therefore capable of hydrolyzing and fermenting starch. Tamaki (1978) studied starch utilization in S. diastaticus and found three polymeric genes controlling this function: STA1, STA2 and STA3. Independently, Erratt and Stewart (1978) studied dextrin utilization by the yeast S. diastaticus and designated the gene, which they identified, DEX1. Erratt and Stewart (1981a, b) later described two other genes which controlled glucoamylase production in S. diastaticus: DEX2 and a third which was allelic to STA3. At that time STA1 and STA2 were not available to test for allelism in the DEX gene family. In this study strains containing the remaining 4 genes have been examined to determine if further allelism exists between the two gene families. It was ascertained that DEX1 is allelic to STA2 and DEX2 is allelic to STA1. Therefore, no new gene controlling starch utilization has been identified and these two nomenclatures can now be consolidated into one. Based on the fact that the glucoamylase from S. diastaticus can hydrolyze both dextrin and starch, dextrin being the term used to described partially hydrolyzed starch, and the more wide use of the nomenclature STA, we propose to retain STA as the designation for genes coding for glucoamylase production in S. diastaticus.  相似文献

An amylolytic yeast strain Pichia subpelliculosawas shown to produce glucoamylase in submerged cultivation. The yeast strain produced the enzyme optimally at 30 °C and pH 5.6 in shake flasks agitated at 200 rev min–1 in the optimized glucoamylase production medium containing 1% starch, 0.2% yeast extract, 0.4% K2HPO4, 0.035% NaCl and 0.1% MgCl2. Maximum enzyme production was attained during early growth of 11 h in shake flasks, and 6 h in a laboratory fermenter. By optimizing media components and cultivation parameters, a 15-fold increase in glucoamylase secretion was achieved.  相似文献

The partial DNA sequence corresponding to the N-terminal amino acid sequence of cellobiohydrolase derived from a thermophilic anaerobe NA10 was determined. The cellobiohydrolase gene fused to the secretion signal (signal peptide and T-S region) from Saccharomyces diastaticus was expressed in an ethanologenic yeast, S. cerevisiae YIY345, under control of the glucoamylase promoter. The recombinant yeast produced cellobiohydrolase: approximately 40% of the total cellobiohydrolase activity was detected in the medium, and the remaining cellobiohydrolase was localized in the intracellular fraction. An analysis of the N-terminal amino acid sequence of the main intracellular cellobiohydrolase revealed that the signal peptide and T-S region were removed proteolytically. Alteration of the amino acid residues at the cleavage site by insertion of a Bgl II linker led to an approximately 3.5-fold increase in the total cellobiohydrolase production, but did not affect the efficiency of secretion into the medium. Cellobiohydrolase production was not repressed in the presence of glucose. The recombinant yeast hydrolyzed carboxymethyl cellulose in the medium. The results suggest the possibility of the direct bioconversion of cellulose to ethanol by the recombinant yeast.  相似文献

Four cellulase genes of Trichoderma reesei, cbh1, cbh2, egl1 and egl2, have been replaced by the amdS marker gene. When linear DNA fragments and flanking regions of the corresponding cellulase locus of more than 1 kb were used, the replacement frequencies were high, ranging from 32 to 52%. Deletion of the major cellobiohydrolase 1 gene led to a 2-fold increase in the production of cellobiohydrolase II; however, replacement of the cbh2 gene did not affect the final cellulase levels and deletion of egl1 or egl2, slightly increased production of both cellobiohydrolases. Based on our results, endoglucanase II accounts for most of the endoglucanase activity produced by the hypercellulolytic host strain. Furthermore, loss of the egl2, gene causes a significant drop in the filter paper-hydrolysing activity, indicating that endoglucanase II has an important role in the total hydrolysis of cellulose.  相似文献

The degree of polymerization of samples of acid degraded cotton cellulose has no appreciable influence on the saccharification by cellobiohydrolase I from Trichoderma viride. The increase in the number of cellulose molecule ends, achieved by a 30-fold decrease in molecular weight, does not produce the effect which could be expected for a pure end-wise mode of action of this exoglucanase. Microcrystalline celluloses saccharified by the same enzyme yield considerably more reducing sugars than cotton cellulose, either with a similar degree of polymerization or one of about 7000. It appears, therefore, that the difference in the susceptibility of the commercial substrates is not a consequence of their low degree of polymerization.  相似文献

Summary Methods were developed to study the effects of absorbent materials from diapers on microbial survival, growth and toxic shock syndrome toxin-1 (TSST-1) production under specified in vitro conditions. Growth of representative skin and fecal flora organisms was equivalent in cultures in which materials from cotton cloth diapers, disposable diapers or disposable diapers containing absorbent gelling material were added as the sole carbon source. In urine used as an enrichment medium, growth of the test organisms in media containing material from the three diaper types was equivalent and no contribution to growth from the diaper material was detected. TSST-1 was not produced byStaphylococcus aureus under conditions in which urine was added to the diaper materials. Pathogenic strains of organisms purposefully introduced onto diapers failed to survive and the few microbial cells normally found in diaper material did not multiply when stored under conditions favorable to microbial growth. The data indicate that all three diaper types tested were the same with respect to growth and survival of representative skin and fecal organisms.  相似文献

Summary Nikkomycin Z (NZ) is a competitive inhibitor of chitin synthase III in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Myosin type II-deficient yeast strains (myo1) display a dramatic reduction in growth when chitin synthase III activity is inhibited by NZ, supporting the contention that actomyosin motility plays an important role in maintaining cell wall integrity. A proposed inhibitor of cortical actin polymerization in vitro, 2,3-butanedione monoxime (BDM), also inhibits growth of wild-type yeast strains at a concentration of 20 mM. In this study, we assayed for potential in vivo interplay between BDM-sensitive cell functions and cell wall chitin synthesis by testing for increased sensitivity to NZ during co-treatment with BDM at sub-inhibitory concentrations. Our results show that BDM can increase the sensitivity of yeast cells to Nikkomycin Z.  相似文献

Based on morphological characteristics the taxa included in the Aspergillus aggregate can hardly be differentiated. For that reason the phylogeny of this genus was revised several times as different criteria, from morphological to later molecular, were used. We found, comparing nucleotide sequences of the ITS-region, that the strain Aspergillus niger (DSM 823) which is claimed to be identical to the strains ATCC 10577, IMI 027809, NCTC 7193 and NRRL 2322 can be molecularly classified as Aspergillus tubingensis, exhibiting 100% identity with the A. tubingensis CBS strains 643.92 and 127.49. We amplified, cloned and sequenced a new glucoamylase gene (glaA) from this strain of A. tubingensis (A. niger DSM 823) using primers derived from A. niger glucoamylase G1. The amplified cDNA fragment of 2013 bp contained an open reading frame encoding 648 amino acid residues. The calculated molecular mass of the glucoamylase, deduced from the amino acid sequence, was 68 kDa. The nucleotide sequence of glaA showed 99% similarity with glucoamylases from Aspergillus kawachii and Aspergillus shirousami, whereas the similarity with the glucoamylase G1 from A. niger was 92% An erratum to this article is available at .  相似文献

Saccharomyces sp. SK0704 (further defined as SK0704) isolated from long-term-ripening kimchi was identified by a biochemical method with an API kit; its physiology was found to be very similar to that of S. cerevisiae ATCC 26603 (further defined as ATCC 26603), except in terms of starch utilization. SK0704 did not excrete extracellular glucoamylase, but utilized starch as a sole carbon source under only aerobic conditions. Crude enzyme excreted from SK0704 catalyzed the saccharification of starch to glucose, but ATCC 26603 did not. The PCR product obtained using the chromosomal DNA of SK0704 and the primers designed on the basis of the extracellular glucoamylase-coding gene of S. diastaticus was homologous with the intracellular sporulation-specific glucoamylase of S. cerevisiae. SDS-PAGE pattern of soluble protein extracted from yeast cells grown on glucose was greatly different from that on starch. From these results, we proposed that the SK0704 may have a specific physiological function for starch catabolism such as membrane transport system and intracellular sac-charification of starch.  相似文献

The effect of hydrogen peroxide on the survival and activity of antioxidant and associated enzymes in Saccharomyces cerevisiae has been studied. A difference found in the response of wild-type yeast strains treated with hydrogen peroxide was probably related to the different protective effects of antioxidant enzymes in these strains. Exposure of wild-type YPH250 cells to 0.25 mM H2O2 for 30 min increased activities of catalase and superoxide dismutase (SOD) by 3.4-and 2-fold, respectively. However, no activation of catalase in the EG103 strain, as well as of SOD in the YPH98 and EG103 wild strains was detected, which was in parallel to lower survival of these strains under oxidative stress. There is a strong positive correlation (R 2 = 0.95) between activities of catalase and SOD in YPH250 cells treated with different concentrations of hydrogen peroxide. It is conceivable that catalase would protect SOD against inactivation caused by oxidative stress and vice versa. Finally, yeast cell treatment with hydrogen peroxide can lead to either a H2O2-induced increase in activities of antioxidant and associated enzymes or their decrease depending on the H2O2 concentration used or the yeast strain specificity.

A recombinant Saccharomyces cerevisiae C468/pGAC9 (ATCC 20690), which expresses Aspergillus awamori glucoamylase gene under the control of the yeast enolase I (ENO1) promoter and secretes glucoamylase into the extracellular medium, was used as a model system to investigate the effect of cell immobilization on bioreactor culture performance. Free suspension cultures in stirred-tank and airlift bioreactors confirmed inherent genetic instability of the recombinant yeast. An immobilized-cell-film airlift bioreactor was developed by employing cotton cloth sheets to immobilize the yeast cells by attachment. Enhanced enzyme productivity and production stability in the immobilized-cell system were observed. Experimental data indicated that the immobilized cells maintained a higher proportion of plasmid-bearing cells for longer periods under continuous operation. The higher plasmid maintenance with immobilized cells is possibly due to reduced specific growth rate and increased plasmid copy number. Double-selection pressure was used to select and maintain the recombinant yeast. The selected strain showed better production performance than the original strain. (c) 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
