We established a novel and convenient method to construct a ura3 strain (ura3/ura3) of the asporogenous and diploid yeast, Candida tropicalis, that produces dicarboxylic acid. One copy of the URA3 gene was disrupted using a mutated hygromycin B resistance gene (HYG#). The obtained hygromycin-resistant strain was further transformed with a URA3 disruption cassette and selected on a plate containing 5-fluoroorotic acid. The obtained strains were analyzed and the disruption of the gene was confirmed by PCR and Southern blot analysis. The results showed that the strains were obtained in which allelic URA3 genes were simultaneously disrupted. Furthermore, we established a cotransformation method for this gene disruption, using HYG# in C. tropicalis. In order to disrupt the allelic POX4 genes (encoding acyl-CoA oxidase) of dicarboxylic acid-producing strains, the ARS plasmid (which contained HYG#) and a POX4 disruption cassette (which carried the LAC4 gene encoding beta-galactosidase of Kluyveromyces lactis) were simultaneously introduced by transformation. As a result, the allelic POX4 gene was successfully disrupted. 相似文献

The synthesis of dicarboxylic acids (DCAs) in Candida tropicalis is thought to be induced by a decrease in fatty acyl-CoA-oxidase activity. However, in the present study we demonstrate that repression of the POX4 gene, encoding fatty acyl-CoA oxidase, does not directly lead to high-level production of DCAs. No fatty acyl-CoA-oxidase activity was detected if the POX4 gene of C. tropicalis strain 1098 (wild-type strain) was disrupted. Furthermore, introduction of the POX4 gene from C. tropicalis strain M1210A3, which is a mutant derived from strain 1098 and is used as an industrial DCA-producing strain, still exhibited low-level fatty acyl-CoA-oxidase activity. Nevertheless, production of DCA was not observed in either case. Furthermore, the increase in acyl-CoA-oxidase activity by expression of the POX4 gene in strain M1210A3 did not reduce high-level production of DCA. These results suggest that alterations in acyl-CoA-oxidase activity are not necessarily related to production of DCA in industrial DCA-producing C. tropicalis M1210A3. 相似文献

A family of acyl-CoA oxidase isozymes catalyse the first step in the peroxisomal fatty acid beta-oxidation spiral. Our group and others have recently characterized four genes from this family in the model oilseed Arabidopsis. These genes encode isozymes with different acyl-CoA substrate specificities, which together encompass the full range of fatty acid chain lengths that exist in vivo. Here we review the biochemical properties and physiological roles of the acyl-CoA oxidase isozymes. 相似文献

We reported previously on the function of acyl coenzyme A (acyl-CoA) oxidase isozymes in the yeast Yarrowia lipolytica by investigating strains disrupted in one or several acyl-CoA oxidase-encoding genes (POX1 through POX5) (H. Wang et al., J. Bacteriol. 181:5140-5148, 1999). Here, these mutants were studied for lactone production. Monodisrupted strains produced similar levels of lactone as the wild-type strain (50 mg/liter) except for Deltapox3, which produced 220 mg of gamma-decalactone per liter after 24 h. The Deltapox2 Deltapox3 double-disrupted strain, although slightly affected in growth, produced about 150 mg of lactone per liter, indicating that Aox2p was not essential for the biotransformation. The Deltapox2 Deltapox3 Deltapox5 triple-disrupted strain produced and consumed lactone very slowly. On the contrary, the Deltapox2 Deltapox3 Deltapox4 Deltapox5 multidisrupted strain did not grow or biotransform methyl ricinoleate into gamma-decalactone, demonstrating that Aox4p is essential for the biotransformation. 相似文献

We have identified five acyl coenzyme A (CoA) oxidase isozymes (Aox1 through Aox5) in the n-alkane-assimilating yeast Yarrowia lipolytica, encoded by the POX1 through POX5 genes. The physiological function of these oxidases has been investigated by gene disruption. Single, double, triple, and quadruple disruptants were constructed. Global Aox activity was determined as a function of time after induction and of substrate chain length. Single null mutations did not affect growth but affected the chain length preference of acyl-CoA oxidase activity, as evidenced by a chain length specificity for Aox2 and Aox3. Aox2 was shown to be a long-chain acyl-CoA oxidase and Aox3 was found to be active against short-chain fatty acids, whereas Aox5 was active against molecules of all chain lengths. Mutations in Aox4 and Aox5 resulted in an increase in total Aox activity. The growth of mutant strains was analyzed. In the presence of POX1 only, strains did not grow on fatty acids, whereas POX4 alone elicited partial growth, and the growth of the double POX2-POX3-deleted mutant was normal excepted on plates containing oleic acid as the carbon source. The amounts of Aox protein detected by Western blotting paralleled the Aox activity levels, demonstrating the regulation of Aox in cells according to the POX genotype. 相似文献

Role of beta-oxidation enzymes in gamma-decalactone production by the yeast Yarrowia lipolytica. 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Some microorganisms can transform methyl ricinoleate into gamma-decalactone, a valuable aroma compound, but yields of the bioconversion are low due to (i) incomplete conversion of ricinoleate (C(18)) to the C(10) precursor of gamma-decalactone, (ii) accumulation of other lactones (3-hydroxy-gamma-decalactone and 2- and 3-decen-4-olide), and (iii) gamma-decalactone reconsumption. We evaluated acyl coenzyme A (acyl-CoA) oxidase activity (encoded by the POX1 through POX5 genes) in Yarrowia lipolytica in lactone accumulation and gamma-decalactone reconsumption in POX mutants. Mutants with no acyl-CoA oxidase activity could not reconsume gamma-decalactone, and mutants with a disruption of pox3, which encodes the short-chain acyl-CoA oxidase, reconsumed it more slowly. 3-Hydroxy-gamma-decalactone accumulation during transformation of methyl ricinoleate suggests that, in wild-type strains, beta-oxidation is controlled by 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase. In mutants with low acyl-CoA oxidase activity, however, the acyl-CoA oxidase controls the beta-oxidation flux. We also identified mutant strains that produced 26 times more gamma-decalactone than the wild-type parents. 相似文献

Acyl-CoA oxidase is a major induced enzyme in peroxisomes of Candida tropicalis grown on fatty acids. The gene, POX4, encoding acyl-CoA oxidase was expressed in vitro, and the resulting polypeptide was imported into purified peroxisomes in a temperature-dependent fashion. Plasmids containing fragments of POX4 were prepared, expressed and the polypeptides tested for import into peroxisomes. We identified two regions of acyl-CoA oxidase (amino acids 1-118 and 309-427) that contained information that specifically targeted fragments of acyl-CoA oxidase to peroxisomes. The corresponding regions of the gene were fused to cDNA encoding the cytosolic enzyme dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR), and the expressed fusion proteins were likewise imported into peroxisomes. DHFR itself neither bound to, nor was imported into peroxisomes. Thus, there are at least two regions of peroxisomal targeting information in the acyl-CoA oxidase gene. 相似文献

We have determined the complete nucleotide sequence of gene POX2, which encodes one of the major peroxisomal polypeptides (PXPs) of Candida tropicalis. POX2 is linked to gene POX4, which codes for a subunit (PXP-4) of long-chain acyl-CoA oxidase. Southern blot analysis revealed that POX2 had a significant homology to POX4, and also to gene POX5 which encodes a subunit (PXP-5) of the isozyme of acyl-CoA oxidase. PXP-2, the protein product of POX2, was co-purified with PXP-4 from the isolated peroxisomes. PXP-2 itself was a flavoprotein and likely to form an equimolar complex with PXP-4, although its enzymatic activity was uncertain. POX2 corresponds to a single open reading frame of 724 amino acids and has no introns. The N-terminal sequence and the calculated Mr of the deduced polypeptide were consistent with those of isolated PXP-2. The primary structure was highly homologous to those of PXP-4 and PXP-5 in respect of the amino acid sequence and the hydropathy profile. We conclude that POX2 is a third gene of the peroxisomal acyl-COA oxidase multigene family. 相似文献

The primary structure of a peroxisomal fatty acyl-CoA oxidase from the yeast Candida tropicalis pK233 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
We report the isolation and nucleotide (nt) sequence determination of a gene encoding peroxisomal fatty acyl-CoA oxidase (AOx) from the yeast Candida tropicalis pK233. The AOx gene contains no intervening sequences and has a single open reading frame of 2127 nt encoding a protein of 708 amino acids (aa), not including the initiator methionine. The Mr of the protein is 79,155. Codon utilization in the gene is not random, with 87.4% of the aa specified by 25 principal codons. The principal codons used in the expression of AOx in C. tropicalis are similar to those used in highly expressed genes of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The AOx protein shows a 94.2% homology with POX4 protein of C. tropicalis. One stretch of 36 aa shows no homology between the two proteins. 相似文献

α,ω-Dicarboxylic acid accumulation from alkanes and alkane degradation intermediates was investigated using Yarrowia lipolytica wild type strain W29 as well as a double, a triple and a quadruple POX-deleted strains. Six genes, POX1 through POX6, encode six acyl-CoA oxidase isozymes in Y. lipolytica. All the strains accumulated dodecanedioic acid (5–20 mg ml−1) from the diterminal functionalised 1,12-dodecane diol and 12-hydroxdodecanoic acid. The quadruple-deleted strain was the only strain that was able to accumulate dioic acids from C16 alkanol and monocarboxylic acid as well as from C12, C14 and C16 alkanes (maximum 8 mg ml−1 from dodecane). 相似文献

Indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) is an endogenous auxin used to enhance rooting during propagation. To better understand the role of IBA, we isolated Arabidopsis IBA-response (ibr) mutants that display enhanced root elongation on inhibitory IBA concentrations but maintain wild-type responses to indole-3-acetic acid, the principle active auxin. A subset of ibr mutants remains sensitive to the stimulatory effects of IBA on lateral root initiation. These mutants are not sucrose dependent during early seedling development, indicating that peroxisomal beta-oxidation of seed storage fatty acids is occurring. We used positional cloning to determine that one mutant is defective in ACX1 and two are defective in ACX3, two of the six Arabidopsis fatty acyl-CoA oxidase (ACX) genes. Characterization of T-DNA insertion mutants defective in the other ACX genes revealed reduced IBA responses in a third gene, ACX4. Activity assays demonstrated that mutants defective in ACX1, ACX3, or ACX4 have reduced fatty acyl-CoA oxidase activity on specific substrates. Moreover, acx1 acx2 double mutants display enhanced IBA resistance and are sucrose dependent during seedling development, whereas acx1 acx3 and acx1 acx5 double mutants display enhanced IBA resistance but remain sucrose independent. The inability of ACX1, ACX3, and ACX4 to fully compensate for one another in IBA-mediated root elongation inhibition and the ability of ACX2 and ACX5 to contribute to IBA response suggests that IBA-response defects in acx mutants may reflect indirect blocks in peroxisomal metabolism and IBA beta-oxidation, rather than direct enzymatic activity of ACX isozymes on IBA-CoA. 相似文献

1. The effects of 3-, 4- and 5-thia-substituted fatty acids on mitochondrial and peroxisomal beta-oxidation have been investigated. When the sulphur atom is in the 4-position, the resulting thia-substituted fatty acid becomes a powerful inhibitor of beta-oxidation. 2. This inhibition cannot be explained in terms of simple competitive inhibition, a phenomenon which characterizes the inhibitory effects of 3- and 5-thia-substituted fatty acids. The inhibitory sites for 4-thia-substituted fatty acids are most likely to be the acyl-CoA dehydrogenase in mitochondria and the acyl-CoA oxidase in peroxisomes. 3. The inhibitory effect of 4-thia-substituted fatty acids is expressed both in vitro and in vivo. The effect in vitro is instantaneous, with up to 95% inhibition of palmitoylcarnitine oxidation. The effect in vivo, in contrast, is dose-dependent and increases with duration of treatment. 4. Pretreatment of rats with a 3-thia-substituted fatty acid rendered mitochondrial beta-oxidation less sensitive to inhibition by 4-thia-substituted fatty acids. 相似文献

A novel acyl-CoA oxidase that can oxidize short-chain acyl-CoA in plant peroxisomes 总被引:11,自引:0,他引:11

Short-chain acyl-CoA oxidases are beta-oxidation enzymes that are active on short-chain acyl-CoAs and that appear to be present in higher plant peroxisomes and absent in mammalian peroxisomes. Therefore, plant peroxisomes are capable of performing complete beta-oxidation of acyl-CoA chains, whereas mammalian peroxisomes can perform beta-oxidation of only those acyl-CoA chains that are larger than octanoyl-CoA (C8). In this report, we have shown that a novel acyl-CoA oxidase can oxidize short-chain acyl-CoA in plant peroxisomes. A peroxisomal short-chain acyl-CoA oxidase from Arabidopsis was purified following the expression of the Arabidopsis cDNA in a baculovirus expression system. The purified enzyme was active on butyryl-CoA (C4), hexanoyl-CoA (C6), and octanoyl-CoA (C8). Cell fractionation and immunocytochemical analysis revealed that the short-chain acyl-CoA oxidase is localized in peroxisomes. The expression pattern of the short-chain acyl-CoA oxidase was similar to that of peroxisomal 3-ketoacyl-CoA thiolase, a marker enzyme of fatty acid beta-oxidation, during post-germinative growth. Although the molecular structure and amino acid sequence of the enzyme are similar to those of mammalian mitochondrial acyl-CoA dehydrogenase, the purified enzyme has no activity as acyl-CoA dehydrogenase. These results indicate that the short-chain acyl-CoA oxidases function in fatty acid beta-oxidation in plant peroxisomes, and that by the cooperative action of long- and short-chain acyl-CoA oxidases, plant peroxisomes are capable of performing the complete beta-oxidation of acyl-CoA. 相似文献
