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

Production of glucoamylase encoded by the Saccharomyces cerevisiae (var. diastaticus) STA1 gene has been assayed in laboratory S. cerevisiae strains of different ploidy and in different industrial Saccharomyces strains, in which STA1 was expressed under control of an inducible promoter. Highest enzyme activity was achieved with a tetraploid strain constructed
by crossing preselected parental strains. Maximal glucoamylase production correlated with heterogeneity in enzyme mass, likely
due to incomplete glycosylation, suggesting that the secretion-glycosylation process is the limiting step in the production
of the STA-encoded glucoamylase by Saccharomyces. Industrial strains showed quite different capacity to produce glucoamylase. High production was achieved with a S. pastorianus brewer’s strain. Overall, our results allowed the selection of strains capable of yielding a high level of glucoamylase and
suggest specific approaches for further enhancing this capability. 相似文献

Alcoholic fermentation, growth, and glucoamylase production by 12 strains of Saccharomyces diastaticus were compared by using starch and dextrins as substrates. Haploid progeny produced from a rapidly fermenting strain, SD2, were used for hybridization with other S. diastaticus and Saccharomyces cerevisiae haploids. Alcoholic fermentation and enzyme production by hybrid diploids and their haploid parents were evaluated. Although the dosage of the STA or DEX (starch or dextrin fermentation) genes may enhance ethanol production, epistatic effects in certain strain combinations caused decreases in starch-fermenting activity. Both the nature of the starch or dextrin used and the fermentation medium pH had substantial effects on alcohol production. Commercial dextrin was not as good a substrate as dextrins prepared by digesting starch with α-amylase. Crude manioc starch digested by α-amylase was fermented directly by selected hybrids with almost 100% conversion efficiency. The manioc preparation contained adequate minerals and growth factors. This procedure should be suitable for direct commercial application in manioc-producing regions in Brazil and elsewhere. A rapidly fermenting haploid strain, SD2-A8, descended from strain SD2, contains two unlinked genes controlling formation of extracellular amylase. A convenient method for detecting these genes (STA genes) in replica plates containing large numbers of meiotic progeny was developed. 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

Rare de novo methylation within the transposable element activator (Ac) in transgenic tobacco plants
Summary The single glucoamylase gene (SGA1) of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae is expressed exclusively during the sporulation phase of the life cycle. Enzymatic studies and nucleic acid sequence comparisons have shown that the SGA1 glucoamylase is closely related to the secreted enzymes of S. cerevisiae var. diastaticus. The latter are encoded by any of three unlinked STA genes, which have been proposed to derive from the ancestral SGA1 form by genomic rearrangement. We show that the regulation of SGA1 is distinct from that of the other members of the STA gene family. SGA1 expression did not respond to STA10, the primary determinant of glucoamylase expression from STA2. Unlike STA2, SGA1 was not regulated directly by the mating type locus. Expression of SGA1 depended on the function of the MAT products in supporting sporulation and not on the formation of haploid progeny spores or on the composition of the mating type locus per se. We conclude that the STA genes acquired regulation by STA10 and MAT by the genomic rearrangements that led to their formation. This regulation is thus distinct from that of the ancestral SGA1 gene. 相似文献

Summary Replacement of the regulatory sequence of theBacillus amyloliquefaciens α-amylase gene (AMY1) by the yeast alcohol dehydrogenase gene promoter (ADC1
p) resulted in increased levels of extracellular α-amylase production inSaccharomyces cerevisiae. Negative regulation of glucoamylase synthesis by theSTA10-encoded repressor was alleviated by replacing the nativeSTA2 gene promoter fromS. cerevisiae var.diastaticus withADC1
p. Enhanced degradation of starch was achieved when the modified versions of theAMY1 andSTA2 genes were introduced jointly intoS. cerevisiae. 相似文献

Summary For the secretion of human lipocortin-1 (LC-1) in yeast, a expression and secretion vector was constructed by using the promoter and signal sequence of glucoamylase gene (STA1) of Saccharomyces diastaticus. After the cDNA of human LC-1 was ligated with the secretion vector, the resulting hybrid plasmid was transformed into S. diastaticus. When the recombinant S. diastaticus was cultivated in YPD medium, LC-1 was expressed and secreted into the extracellular medium, yielding LC-1 protein at a concentration of 2.5 g/mL. 相似文献

Genetic properties of abortive products resulting from the protoplast fusion in yeasts 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Hideo Tamaki 《Molecular & general genetics : MGG》1982,187(1):177-179
Summary Protoplast fusion was carried out by using a routine technique with various auxotrophic strains of Saccharomyces diastaticus and Schizosaccharomyces pombe, and abortive fusion products were observed as small colonies which appeared more frequently than large prototrophic colonies. Sixty abortive fusion products retained one or more auxotrophic characters derived from S. diastaticus, one of the strains used in the protoplast fusion. Several hybrids were obtained between the abortive products and S. cerevisiae, and the segregants of these hybrids showed many aberrant tetrads with regard to some genetic markers. These segregation patterns would be likely to result if the segregating characters were in the trisomic condition +/+/-. The results indicate that (1) the abortive fusion products are an alien monosome additional (AMA) haploid containing the genome of S. diastaticus and only one chromosome of S. pombe. (2) The additional chromosome of S. pombe, which is integrated with the genome of Saccharomyces, can be stably transmitted to the progeny. 相似文献

Summary The glucoamylase gene from Lactobacillus amylovorus was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli. A genomic DNA library from Lactobacillus amylovorus was prepared by partially digesting genomic DNA with EcoRI and ligating random fragments to the EcoRI digested cloning vector, pZErO-1.1. Three E. coli transformants expressing glucoamylase were identified using a probe prepared from the STA2 glucoamylase gene from Saccharomyces cerevisiae var. diastaticus. The physical maps of the recombinant plasmids were constructed. These plasmids contained inserts of about 5.2 Kb, 5.9 Kb and 6.4 Kb respectively. Temperature and pH optima of 45°C and 6.0, respectively, were obtained for both recombinant and purified wild type glucoamylases. Also, the enzymes were found to be thermolabile at temperatures above 50°C. 相似文献

Genetic relatedness of 14 yeast strains and 2 mold strains was studied by the DNA-DNA hybridization method. The hybridization was performed between mitochondrial-DNA-free, 32p-labeled DNA of Saccharomyces cerevisiae IAM 4009 and cold DNA of other strains. The DNA homology indices deviated considerably even among S. cerevisiae strains having similar GC contents, but, in general, yeast strains known to be able to mate with S. cerevisiae, showed high homology indices (35∽70%). Other species of Saccharomycetaceae and 6 asporogenous yeast strains exhibited values of 10∽20%. The relatedness suggested from these results was confirmed by the competition experiments and also by the hybridization with 32P-DNA of Candida pulcherrima IFO 0561. DNA’s of Aspergillus oryzae I and Neurospora crassa IFO 6067 also exhibited low but appreciable homology indices (5∽7%). These results were discussed from the aspects of phylogenetics and also of gene conservation in microorganisms. 相似文献

Summary Rare-mating of closely related Saccharomyces cerevisiae and S. diastaticus strains led to the formation of different hybrids. Mating-type switching and chromosome losses could be observed by means of classical genetic analysis and pulsed field gel electrophoresis of intact chromosomes. The latter was facilitated by extensive chromosome length polymorphism in both strains. When crossing the two haploid strains S. cerevisiae 41 and S. diastaticus ATCC 28339 , two different types of hybrids occurred. Both types showed complete addition of both parental genomes, one a-status and the other -status. The -status could be explained by assuming a transient premutational lesion in MAT . Usually lesions are repaired after a mating event and the -mating type is restored. When crossing a diploid S. diastaticus strain, isogenic to the one previously mentioned, with the haploid S. cerevisiae strain, three different types of hybrids could be distinguished regarding their mating-types. It was possible to prove that the haploid S. diastaticus strain ATCC 28339 is disomic and the diploid hybrid, named 41ATCC-b, is trisomic for chromosome I. This could be shown by means of electrophoretic karyotyping of the hybrid and of the four single-spore cultures from one ascus of the hybrid. 相似文献

Summary A hybrid of Saccharomyces cerevisiae with the ability to utilize starch and to produce the killer toxin was constructed by the protoplast fusion technique. The hybrid was obtained in two steps. In the first, a wild killer strain was fused with a laboratory strain (S. cerevisiae STA2). A fusion product which carried the killer factor and the ability to grow on starch was selected. In the second step, this hybrid was fused with a baker's yeast. 相似文献

The Flo11/Muc1 flocculin has diverse phenotypic effects. Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells of strain background Σ1278b require Flo11p to form pseudohyphae, invade agar, adhere to plastic, and develop biofilms, but they do not flocculate. We show that S. cerevisiae var. diastaticus strains, on the other hand, exhibit Flo11-dependent flocculation and biofilm formation but do not invade agar or form pseudohyphae. In order to study the nature of the Flo11p proteins produced by these two types of strains, we examined secreted Flo11p, encoded by a plasmid-borne gene, in which the glycosylphosphatidylinositol anchor sequences had been replaced by a histidine tag. A protein of approximately 196 kDa was secreted from both strains, which upon purification and concentration, aggregated into a form with a very high molecular mass. When secreted Flo11p was covalently attached to microscopic beads, it conferred the ability to specifically bind to S. cerevisiae var. diastaticus cells, which flocculate, but not to Σ1278b cells, which do not flocculate. This was true for the 196-kDa form as well as the high-molecular-weight form of Flo11p, regardless of the strain source. The coated beads bound to S. cerevisiae var. diastaticus cells expressing FLO11 and failed to bind to cells with a deletion of FLO11, demonstrating a homotypic adhesive mechanism. Flo11p was shown to be a mannoprotein. Bead-to-cell adhesion was inhibited by mannose, which also inhibits Flo11-dependent flocculation in vivo, further suggesting that this in vitro system is a useful model for the study of fungal adhesion. 相似文献

Summary The cloning of glucoamylase geneSTA using theSUC2 promoter intoSaccharomyces cerevisiae was performed. The signal sequence ofSTA gene was used for the secretion of glucoamylase protein. The plasmid constructed in this way was named YEpSUCSTA and its expression was identified. The expression of YEpSUCSTA was repressed in the presence of glucose in growth medium, but derepressed when glucose became depleted. YEpSUCSTA showed the similar efficiency of glucoamylase secretion as YEpSTA-F which has the entireSTA gene. Glucoamylase activity in starch-glucose medium was largely increased because cell mass and plasmid stability were high in biosynthesis phase compared to extracellular glucoamylase activities in media which starch or glucose was the only carbon source. 相似文献

Summary The ability of a polyploid/aneuploidSaccharomyces diastaticus spheroplast fusion product and a diploidSaccharomyces diastaticus hybridization product, to produce ethanol from dextrinized cassava starch with varying amounts of supplemented glucoamylase (amyloglucosidase), was investigated. It was found that the added glucoamylase could be reduced by over 50% using these glucoamylase producing strains as compared to a commercially availableSaccharomyces cerevisiae strain commonly used in ethanol producing industries. 相似文献

This paper describes the effect of the heterologous expression of tomatinase from Fusarium oxysporum f. sp lycopersici in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The gene FoTom1 under the control of the S. cerevisiae phosphoglycerate kinase (PGK1) promoter was cloned into pYES2. S. cerevisiae strain Y45 was transformed with this vector and URA3 transformant strains were selected for resistance to α-tomatine. Two
transformants were randomly selected for further study (designated Y45-1 and Y45-2). Control strain Y45 was inhibited at 50 μM
α-tomatine, in contrast, transformants Y45-1 and Y45-2 did not show inhibition at 200 μM. Tomatinase activity was detected
by HPLC monitoring tomatine disappearance and tomatidine appearance in the supernatants of culture medium. Maximum tomatinase
activity was observed in the transformants after 6 h, remaining constant during the following 24 h. No tomatinase activity
was detected in the parental strain. Moreover, the transformants were able to grow and produce ethanol in a mix of Agave
tequilana Weber var. azul and Agave salmiana must, contrary to the Y45 strain which was unable to grow and ferment under these conditions. 相似文献

The industrial potential of Saccharomyces cerevisiae has extended beyond its traditional use in fermentation to various applications, including recombinant protein production. Herein, comparative genomics was performed with three industrial S. cerevisiae strains and revealed a heterozygous diploid genome for the 98-5 and KSD-YC strains (exploited for rice wine fermentation) and a haploid genome for strain Y2805 (used for recombinant protein production). Phylogenomic analysis indicated that Y2805 was closely associated with the reference strain S288C, whereas KSD-YC and 98-5 were grouped with Asian and European wine strains, respectively. Particularly, a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in FDC1, involved in the biosynthesis of 4-vinylguaiacol (4-VG, a phenolic compound with a clove-like aroma), was found in KSD-YC, consistent with its lack of 4-VG production. Phenotype microarray (PM) analysis showed that KSD-YC and 98-5 displayed broader substrate utilization than S288C and Y2805. The SNPs detected by genome comparison were mapped to the genes responsible for the observed phenotypic differences. In addition, detailed information on the structural organization of Y2805 selection markers was validated by Sanger sequencing. Integrated genomics and PM analysis elucidated the evolutionary history and genetic diversity of industrial S. cerevisiae strains, providing a platform to improve fermentation processes and genetic manipulation. 相似文献
