GPD1, which encodes glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, is essential for growth under osmotic stress in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and its expression is regulated by the high-osmolarity glycerol response pathway.

The yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae responds to osmotic stress, i.e., an increase in osmolarity of the growth medium, by enhanced production and intracellular accumulation of glycerol as a compatible solute. We have cloned a gene encoding the key enzyme of glycerol synthesis, the NADH-dependent cytosolic glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, and we named it GPD1. gpd1 delta mutants produced very little glycerol, and they were sensitive to osmotic stress. Thus, glycerol production is indeed essential for the growth of yeast cells during reduced water availability. hog1 delta mutants lacking a protein kinase involved in osmostress-induced signal transduction (the high-osmolarity glycerol response [HOG] pathway) failed to increase glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase activity and mRNA levels when osmotic stress was imposed. Thus, expression of GPD1 is regulated through the HOG pathway. However, there may be Hog1-independent mechanisms mediating osmostress-induced glycerol accumulation, since a hog1 delta strain could still enhance its glycerol content, although less than the wild type. hog1 delta mutants are more sensitive to osmotic stress than isogenic gpd1 delta strains, and gpd1 delta hog1 delta double mutants are even more sensitive than either single mutant. Thus, the HOG pathway most probably has additional targets in the mechanism of adaptation to hypertonic medium.     

产甘油假丝酵母产甘油关键酶基因在酿酒酵母中的表达

甘油是一种极其理想的耐高渗透压介质。利用PCR方法,从产甘油假丝酵母WL2002-5中扩增出了2个产甘油的关键酶基因GPD和GPP,分别编码3-磷酸甘油脱氢酶（glycerol 3-phosphate dehydrogenase, GPD）和3-磷酸甘油磷酸酶（glycerol 3-phosphate phosphatase, GPP）。利用T-Vector在Escherichia coli JM109中克隆得到大量的GPD和GPP基因,并成功构建了重组质粒pYX212-GPD和pYX212-GPP;通过LiAc转化法将重组质粒导入酿酒酵母Saccharomyces cerevisiae W303-1A。初步实验结果表明：发酵过程中pYX212-GPD/S. cerevisiae W303-1A的生物量高于pYX212-GPP/S. cerevisiae W303-1A和野生型S. cerevisiae W303-1A;发酵72h后,pYX212 GPD/S. cerevisiae W303-1A发酵液中甘油含量大约为12mmol/L,明显高于野生型S. cerevisiae W303-1A的甘油含量,而pYX212-GPP/S. cerevisiae W303-1A与野生型S. cerevisiae W303-1A在甘油含量上相差不大,均只有4mmol/L 左右。     

Cloning, sequence, and disruption of the Saccharomyces diastaticus DAR1 gene encoding a glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase.

The Saccharomyces diastaticus DAR1 gene was cloned by complementation in an Escherichia coli strain auxogrophic for glycerol-3-phosphate. DAR1 encodes an NADH-dependent dihydroxyacetone phosphate reductase (sn-glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase [G3PDase; EC 1.1.1.8]) homologous to several other eukaryotic G3PDases. DAR1 is distinct from GUT2, which encodes a glucose-repressed mitochondrial G3PDase, but is identical to GPD1 from S. cerevisiae, a close relative of S. diastaticus. The level of DAR1-encoded G3PDase was increased about threefold in a medium of high osmolarity. Disruption of DAR1 in a haploid S. cerevisiae was not lethal but led to a decrease in cytoplasmic NADH-dependent G3PDase activity, an increase in osmotic sensitivity, and a 25% reduction in glycerol secretion from cells grown anaerobically on glucose.     

A glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase-deficient mutant of Saccharomyces cerevisiae expressing the heterologous XYL1 gene.

The gene XYL1, encoding a xylose reductase, from Pichia stipitis was transformed into a mutant of Saccharomyces cerevisiae incapable of glycerol production because of deletion of the genes GPD1 and GPD2. The transformed strain was capable of anaerobic glucose conversion in the presence of added xylose, indicating that the xylose reductase reaction can fulfill the role of the glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase reaction as a redox sink. The specific xylitol production rate obtained was 0.38 g g-1 h-1.     

Cloning and characterization of a NAD+-dependent glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase gene from Candida glycerinogenes, an industrial glycerol producer.

The osmotolerant yeast Candida glycerinogenes produces glycerol as a major metabolite on an industrial scale, but the underlying molecular mechanisms are poorly understood. We cloned and characterized a 4900-bp genomic fragment containing the CgGPD gene encoding a glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase homologous to GPD genes in other yeasts using degenerate primers in conjunction with inverse PCR. Sequence analysis revealed a 1167-bp open reading frame encoding a putative peptide of 388 deduced amino acids with a molecular mass of 42 695 Da. The CgGPD gene consisted of an N-terminal NAD(+)-binding domain and a central catalytic domain, whereas seven stress response elements were found in the upstream region. Functional analysis revealed that Saccharomyces cerevisiae gpd1Delta and gpd1Delta/gpd2Delta osmosensitive mutants transformed with CgGPD were restored to the wild-type phenotype when cultured in high osmolarity media, suggesting that it is a functional GPD protein. Transformants also accumulated glycerol intracellularly and GPD-specific activity increased significantly when stressed with NaCl, whereas the S. cerevisiae mutants transformed with the empty plasmid showed only slight increases. The full-length CgGPD gene sequence including upstream and downstream regions has been deposited in GenBank under accession no. EU186536.     

Fps1, a yeast member of the MIP family of channel proteins, is a facilitator for glycerol uptake and efflux and is inactive under osmotic stress.

The Saccharomyces cerevisiae FPS1 gene, which encodes a channel protein belonging to the MIP family, has been isolated previously as a multicopy suppressor of the growth defect of the fdp1 mutant (allelic to GGS1/TPS1) on fermentable sugars. Here we show that overexpression of FPS1 enhances glycerol production. Enhanced glycerol production caused by overexpression of GPD1 encoding glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase also suppressed the growth defect of ggs1/tps1 delta mutants, suggesting a novel role for glycerol production in the control of glycolysis. The suppression of ggs1/tps1 delta mutants by GPD1 depends on the presence of Fps1. Mutants lacking Fps1 accumulate a greater part of the glycerol intracellularly, indicating that Fps1 is involved in glycerol efflux. Glycerol-uptake experiments showed that the permeability of the yeast plasma membrane for glycerol consists of an Fps1-independent component probably due to simple diffusion and of an Fps1-dependent component representing facilitated diffusion. The Escherichia coli glycerol facilitator expressed in a yeast fps1 delta mutant can restore the characteristics of glycerol uptake, production and distribution fully, but restores only partially growth of a ggs1/tps1 delta fps1 delta double mutant on glucose. Fps1 appears to be closed under hyperosmotic stress when survival depends on intracellular accumulation of glycerol and apparently opens rapidly when osmostress is lifted. The osmostress-induced High Osmolarity Glycerol (HOG) response pathway is not required for inactivation of Fps1. We conclude that Fps1 is a regulated yeast glycerol facilitator controlling glycerol production and cytosolic concentration, and might have additional functions.

Effects of deletion of glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase and glutamate dehydrogenase genes on glycerol and ethanol metabolism in recombinant Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Bioethanol is currently used as an alternative fuel for gasoline worldwide. For economic production of bioethanol by Saccharomyces cerevisiae, formation of a main by-product, glycerol, should be prevented or minimized in order to reduce a separation cost of ethanol from fermentation broth. In this study, S. cerevisiae was engineered to investigate the effects of the sole and double disruption of NADH-dependent glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase 1 (GPD1) and NADPH-requiring glutamate dehydrogenase 1 (GDH1) on the production of glycerol and ethanol from glucose. Even though sole deletion of GPD1 or GDH1 reduced glycerol production, double deletion of GPD1 and GDH1 resulted in the lowest glycerol concentration of 2.31 g/L, which was 46.4% lower than the wild-type strain. Interestingly, the recombinant S. cerevisiae ?GPD1?GDH1 strain showed a slight improvement in ethanol yield (0.414 g/g) compared with the wild-type strain (0.406 g/g). Genetic engineering of the glycerol and glutamate metabolic pathways modified NAD(P)H-requiring metabolic pathways and exerted a positive effect on glycerol reduction without affecting ethanol production.     

Genetic engineering of brewing yeast to reduce the content of ethanol in beer

The GPD1 gene encoding the glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase was overexpressed in an industrial lager brewing yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae ssp. carlsbergensis) to reduce the content of ethanol in beer. The amount of glycerol produced by the GPD1-overexpressing yeast in fermentation experiments simulating brewing conditions was increased 5.6 times and ethanol was decreased by 18% when compared to the wild-type. Overexpression of GPD1 does not affect the consumption of wort sugars. Only minor changes in the concentration of higher alcohols, esters and fatty acids could be observed in beer produced by the GPD1-overexpressing brewing yeast. However, the concentrations of several other by-products, particularly acetoin, diacetyl and acetaldehyde, were considerably increased.     

Glycerol Export and Glycerol-3-phosphate Dehydrogenase, but Not Glycerol Phosphatase, Are Rate Limiting for Glycerol Production in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Glycerol, one of the most important by-products of alcoholic fermentation, has positive effects on the sensory properties of fermented beverages. It was recently shown that the most direct approach for increasing glycerol formation is to overexpress GPD1, which encodes the glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GPDH) isoform Gpd1p. We aimed to identify other steps in glycerol synthesis or transport that limit glycerol flux during glucose fermentation. We showed that the overexpression of GPD2, encoding the other isoform of glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (Gpd2p), is equally as effective as the overexpression of GPD1 in increasing glycerol production (3.3-fold increase compared to the wild-type strain) and has similar effects on yeast metabolism. In contrast, overexpression of GPP1, encoding glycerol 3-phosphatase (Gpp1p), did not enhance glycerol production. Strains that simultaneously overexpress GPD1 and GPP1 did not produce higher amounts of glycerol than a GPD1-overexpressing strain. These results demonstrate that GPDH, but not the glycerol 3-phosphatase, is rate-limiting for glycerol production. The channel protein Fps1p mediates glycerol export. It has recently been shown that mutants lacking a region in the N-terminal domain of Fps1p constitutively release glycerol. We showed that cells producing truncated Fps1p constructs during glucose fermentation compensate for glycerol loss by increasing glycerol production. Interestingly, the strain with a deregulated Fps1 glycerol channel had a different phenotype to the strain overexpressing GPD genes and showed poor growth during fermentation. Overexpression of GPD1 in this strain increased the amount of glycerol produced but led to a pronounced growth defect.
