解脂耶氏酵母中囊泡蛋白YlSec15的鉴定及功能研究

解脂耶氏酵母(Yarrowia lipolytica)进行出芽繁殖时,决定未来分裂平面的出芽位点不是随机选取的,而是选择在前一次细胞分裂位置的对侧出芽,即进行双极出芽。目前对解脂耶氏酵母双极出芽的分子调控机制并不清楚。通过观察蛋白定位及过量表达的方法研究了解脂耶氏酵母中囊泡蛋白YlSec15的功能。结果表明:YlSec15在细胞中有明显的极性定位,在细胞的小芽内以及大中芽的芽颈处富集,过量表达YlSec15抑制了菌丝的形成并使得部分细胞的出芽位点选择方式由双极出芽转变为随机出芽,而引起这一变化的原因可能是由于过量的YlSec15在细胞中不能进行正常的极性定位。此外,YlSec15可能是通过YlRas2介导的信号通路参与调控细胞的菌丝形成及双极出芽。这一发现丰富了解脂耶氏酵母中双极出芽的分子调控机制,也证明了极性生长与囊泡运输之间是相互影响的。

Cloning of the mating-type gene MATA of the yeast Yarrowia lipolytica

Summary The mating type gene MA TA of the dimorphic yeast Yarrowia lipolytica was cloned. The strategy used was based on the presumed function of this gene in the induction of sporulation. A diploid strain homozygous for the mating type B was transformed with an integrative gene bank from an A wild-type strain. A sporulating transformant was isolated, which contained a plasmid with an 11.6 kb insert. This sequence was rescued from the chromosomal DNA of the transformant and deletion mapping was performed to localize the MAT insert. The MAT gene conferred both sporulating and non-mating phenotypes on a B/B diploid. A LEU2 sequence targeted to this locus segregated like a mating type-linked gene. The A strain did not contain silent copies of the MAT gene.     

Yarrowia lipolytica as a model for bio-oil production

The yeast Yarrowia lipolytica has developed very efficient mechanisms for breaking down and using hydrophobic substrates. It is considered an oleaginous yeast, based on its ability to accumulate large amounts of lipids. Completion of the sequencing of the Y. lipolytica genome and the existence of suitable tools for genetic manipulation have made it possible to use the metabolic function of this species for biotechnological applications. In this review, we describe the coordinated pathways of lipid metabolism, storage and mobilization in this yeast, focusing in particular on the roles and regulation of the various enzymes and organelles involved in these processes. The physiological responses of Y. lipolytica to hydrophobic substrates include surface-mediated and direct interfacial transport processes, the production of biosurfactants, hydrophobization of the cytoplasmic membrane and the formation of protrusions. We also discuss culture conditions, including the mode of culture control and the culture medium, as these conditions can be modified to enhance the accumulation of lipids with a specific composition and to identify links between various biological processes occurring in the cells of this yeast. Examples are presented demonstrating the potential use of Y. lipolytica in fatty-acid bioconversion, substrate valorization and single-cell oil production. Finally, this review also discusses recent progress in our understanding of the metabolic fate of hydrophobic compounds within the cell: their terminal oxidation, further degradation or accumulation in the form of intracellular lipid bodies.     

Modeling hexanal production in oxido-reducing conditions by the yeast Yarrowia lipolytica

Hexanal produced by cells of a recombinant Yarrowia lipolytica yeast expressing the hydroperoxide lyase (HPL) from green bell pepper fruit was studied under oxido-reducing conditions using the reducing dithiotreitol and oxidizing potassium ferricyanide compounds. The combined effect of pH, linoleic acid 13-hydroperoxides concentration, temperature and oxido-reducing molecules on the hexanal production was studied. Significant positive effects for the hexanal production were found using high concentrations of hydroperoxides (100 mM, 30 g/L). Adding reducing molecules enhanced significantly hexanal production while the oxidizing molecules had an inhibitory effect. Combined effects of 13-hydroperoxides and dithiotreitol were optimised by a central composite design and a model was proposed. Finally, 6 mM (600 mg/L) of hexanal was obtained when 119 mM of 13-hydroperoxides (37 g/L) and 50 mM of dithiotreitol were introduced directly in the biocatalytic medium of the yeast Y. lipolytica.     

Analysis of regions essential for the function of chromosomal replicator sequences from Yarrowia lipolytica

Summary Two DNA segments exhibiting ARS (autonomously replicating sequence) activity in the dimorphic yeast Yarrowia lipolytica were cloned from its chromosome on an integrative LEU2 plasmid. These ARS segments, designated YlARS1 and YlARS2, conferred on the hybrid plasmids high transformation efficiency and enabled extrachromosomal transmission of the plasmids in 1 or 2 copies per yeast cell under selective conditions. Deletion analysis showed that at least 728–1003 by for YlARS1 and 1377–1629 by for YlARS2 were required for full function. Both of these regions contained two 10/11 matches to an ARS core consensus in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, whereas neither was similar to the S. cerevisiae centromere sequence. Significantly, both YlARS elements contained at, or close to, their boundaries a 13 bp sequence, 5-TATATTCAAGCAA-3, which resembles the cleavage site for topoisomerase II in Drosophila. A central 524 by ClaI fragment of YlARS2 contained four stretches of a 17 bp direct repeat sequence, 5-GAAAAACAAAAACAGGC-3, and exhibited the electrophoretic behavior typical of bent DNA.

Induction of a non-specific permeability transition in mitochondria from Yarrowia lipolytica and Dipodascus (Endomyces) magnusii yeasts

In this study we used tightly-coupled mitochondria from Yarrowia lipolytica and Dipodascus (Endomyces) magnusii yeasts, possessing a respiratory chain with the usual three points of energy conservation. High-amplitude swelling and collapse of the membrane potential were used as parameters for demonstrating induction of the mitochondrial permeability transition due to opening of a pore (mPTP). Mitochondria from Y. lipolytica, lacking a natural mitochondrial Ca²⁺ uptake pathway, and from D. magnusii, harboring a high-capacitive, regulated mitochondrial Ca²⁺ transport system (Bazhenova et al. J Biol Chem 273:4372–4377, 1998a; Bazhenova et al. Biochim Biophys Acta 1371:96–100, 1998b; Deryabina and Zvyagilskaya Biochemistry (Moscow) 65:1352–1356, 2000; Deryabina et al. J Biol Chem 276:47801–47806, 2001) were very resistant to Ca²⁺ overload. However, exposure of yeast mitochondria to 50–100 μM Ca²⁺ in the presence of the Ca²⁺ ionophore ETH129 induced collapse of the membrane potential, possibly due to activation of the fatty acid-dependent Ca²⁺/nH⁺-antiporter, with no classical mPTP induction. The absence of response in yeast mitochondria was not simply due to structural limitations, since large-amplitude swelling occurred in the presence of alamethicin, a hydrophobic, helical peptide, forming voltage-sensitive ion channels in lipid membranes. Ca²⁺- ETH129-induced activation of the Ca²⁺/H⁺-antiport system was inhibited and prevented by bovine serum albumin, and partially by inorganic phosphate and ATP. We subjected yeast mitochondria to other conditions known to induce the permeability transition in animal mitochondria, i.e., Ca²⁺ overload (in the presence of ETH129) combined with palmitic acid (Mironova et al. J Bioenerg Biomembr 33:319–331, 2001; Sultan and Sokolove Arch Biochem Biophys 386:37–51, 2001), SH-reagents, carboxyatractyloside (an inhibitor of the ADP/ATP translocator), depletion of intramitochondrial adenine nucleotide pools, deenergization of mitochondria, and shifting to acidic pH values in the presence of high phosphate concentrations. None of the above-mentioned substances or conditions induced a mPTP-like pore. It is thus evident that the permeability transition in yeast mitochondria is not coupled with Ca²⁺ uptake and is differently regulated compared to the mPTP of animal mitochondria.     

Dominant mutations affecting expression of pH-regulated genes inYarrowia lipolytica

In the yeastYarrowia lipolytica the levels of the alkaline extracellular protease (AEP) and acid extracellular protease (AXP) are controlled by the pH of the growth medium. When the pH of growth medium is kept close to 4.0, levels of AXP are high and those of AEP are low, whereas at pH above 6.0 the opposite is true. Mutations which mimic the effects on the protease system of growth at alkaline pH have been identified in two genes,RPH1 andRPH2, inY. lipolytica. Detailed genetic studies showed that mutations in these two genes are dominant in heterozygous diploids, and that their effects are additive in haploid double mutants. These mutants show that pH regulates AEP expression independently from other metabolic signals. These mutants are not detectably affected in their growth rates, nor in internal pH homeostasis.
