A constitutive, plasma-membrane bound β-glucosidase in Trichoderma reesei

Abstract Plasma membranes of Trichoderma reesei QM 9414, isolated from protoplasts by means of the concanavalin A procedure, contained β-glucosidase activity, which appeared constitutively upon growth on glucose. The enzyme had a pH optimum around 6, and was active on p -nitrophenyl-β- d -glucoside, cellobiose and sophorose ( K _m 0.7, 3.9 and 3.1 mM, respectively). Glucose was only weakly inhibitory ( K _i 7 mM). Treatment of the plasma membranes with Triton X-100, Tween 80 or digitonin solubilized more than 60% of the membrane-bound β-glucosidase activity. The enzyme so solubilized exhibited an M _r of 70 000 ± 5000 and an isoelectric point at pH 8.2 ± 0.3.     

Localisation of β-glucosidase in Trichoderma reesei cell walls with immunoelectron microscopy

Abstract Using ferritin-conjugated antibodies as an electron microscopic marker, β-glucosidase was localized within the cell walls of the imperfect fungus Trichoderma reesei QM9414. With different states of cell wall degradation obtained with a cell wall-lysing culture filtrate of Micromonospora chalcea , β-glucosidase was mainly detected within the outer, fibrous exopolysaccharide layer and the outer face of the plasma membrane.

Enhanced cellulase production in fed-batch culture of Trichoderma reesei C30

The use of a fed-batch cultivation of the fungus Trichoderma reesei (C30) allows cellulase [see 1,4-(1,3;1,4)-β-d-glucan 4-glucanohydrolase, EC 3.2.1.4] production to occur under optimum conditions, and results in extremely high enzyme titres and productivities. Enzyme levels of 26 U ml^?1 at productivities >130 U l^?1 h^?1 have been achieved. These results are compared with the values obtained in two-stage continuous cultivation of the organism at optimum pH and temperature.     

Application of image analysis in the fungal fermentation of Trichoderma reesei RUT-C30

Trichoderma reesei was grown in a stirred-tank bioreactor (STB) and a reciprocating plate bioreactor (RPB) at four different agitation speeds. A semiautomatic image analysis protocol that was developed to characterize the mycelium morphology during the fermentation process based on four morphological types (unbranched, branched, entangled, and clumped microorganisms) was applied to study the effect of agitation on the morphology of T. reesei. It was shown via statistical validation that broth samples used for image analysis represented the whole population of the fungi in the bioreactor. High shear was found to be damaging to T. reesei grown in the STB. The gentler shear produced in the RPB was not detrimental to the microorganism even at higher agitation speed. Better productivity was obtained for T. reesei grown in the STB and the highest productivity, 0.121 IU/mL h, was obtained at 400 rpm. The morphological parameter, the hyphal growth unit, was found to be correlated to the productivity. Understanding the effect of agitation on the morphology and productivity of T. reesei could lead to the design of better bioreactors and the selection of operating conditions of bioreactors to optimize the production of cellulase.     

Stimulatory effect of oxidized cellulose on cellulase formation by Trichoderma reesei

Crystalline cellulase has been electrochemically oxidized to yield preparations containing various different percentages of oxidized end-groups. These celluloses have been used as carbon sources for growth and cellulase production by Trichoderma reesei . A low content of oxidized end groups in the celluloses (0.1–0.65%) stimulated cellulase production but not growth, whereas higher contents (> 1%) where inhibitory to both. The cellulolytic enzyme system secreted under stimulated conditions contained the same proportion of individual cellulase enzymes (cellobiohydrolase I and II, endoglucanase I) as the control, indicating a general stimulatory effect of oxidized cellulose. Activity of cellulases against oxidized celluloses in vitro was not stimulated, and only slightly inhibitory at high degrees of oxidation. The data support a potential role of cellulose oxidation in regulating cellulase formation by T. reesei .     

Conditions of formation, purification, and characterization of an alpha-galactosidase of Trichoderma reesei RUT C-30.

Trichoderma reesei RUT C-30 formed an extracellular alpha-galactosidase when it was grown in a batch culture containing lactose or locust bean gum as a carbon source. Short-chain alpha-galactosides (melibiose, raffinose, stachyose), as well as the monosaccharides galactose, dulcitol, arabinose, and arabitol, also induced alpha-galactosidase activity both when they were used as carbon sources (at a concentration of 1%) in batch cultures and in resting mycelia (at concentrations in the millimolar range). The addition of 50 mM glucose did not affect the induction of alpha-galactosidase formation by galactose. alpha-Galactosidase from T. reesei RUT C-30 was purified to homogeneity from culture fluids of galactose-induced mycelia. The active enzyme was a 50 +/- 3-kDa, nonglycosylated monomer which had an isoelectric point of 5.2. It was active against several alpha-galactosides (p-nitrophenyl-alpha-D-galactoside, melibiose, raffinose, and stachyose) and galactomannan (locust bean gum) and was inhibited by the product galactose. It released galactose from locust bean gum and exhibited synergism with T. reesei beta-mannanase. Its activity was optimal at pH 4, and it displayed broad pH stability (pH 4 to 8). Its temperature stability was moderate (60 min at 50 degrees C resulted in recovery of 70% of activity), and its highest level of activity occurred at 60 degrees C. Its action on galactomannan was increased by the presence of beta-mannanase.     

Intracellular precursors of endo-β-1,4-glucanase in Trichoderma reesei

Abstract Sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) followed by immunoblotting was employed to detect intracellular precursors of endo-β-1,4-glucanases (EGs) in Trichoderma reesei QM9414 under conditions of de novo induction by sophorose and de novo carbon catabolite derepression by lactose. Secretion of EGs was always preceded by intracellular accumulation of lower M _r precursors, which became processed to larger M _r forms immediately prior to their extracellular appearance. Treatment of the larger M _r forms with α-mannosidase converted them to forms with the same M _r as the smaller forms, whereas Endo H treatment was without effect. These results are consistent with a requirement of O -linked glycosylation for secretion of EGs by T. reesei .

Morphology of Trichoderma reesei QM 9414 in submerged cultures

The microscopic morphology of Trichoderma reesei QM 9414, growing in submerged culture, was studied by image analysis. The morphology was characterized by the total hyphal length, the total number of tips, the number of actively growing tips, and the length of the main hypha. To describe the growth of a single mycelium a simple model is set-up. The main features of the model are: (1) saturation type kinetics for the tip extension of the individual branches within the mycelium; and (2) random branching with a frequency function, which is proportional to the total hyphal length. The model is used to simulate a population of mycelia, where spore germination is described with a log-normal distribution. From the simulation of the population, the average properties of the mycelia, e.g., the average total hyphal length, are calculated, and by fitting the model to experimental data the model parameters are estimated. Finally, the distribution function with respect to the mycelia properties, that is, number of tips and total hyphal length, is calculated, and it corresponds well with the experimental determination of the distribution function.

人工锌指蛋白介导调控的里氏木霉纤维素酶生产

里氏木霉Trichoderma reesei Rut-C30是目前研究最广泛的纤维素酶生产菌,选育高产纤维素酶的里氏木霉菌株有助于提高木质纤维素资源生物炼制的经济性。利用人工锌指蛋白文库转化T.reeseiRut-C30,筛选获得了两株高产纤维素酶的突变株T. reesei M1和M2,与出发菌株比较,突变株M1和M2滤纸酶活分别提高100%和53%,且M1突变株外泌蛋白量提高69%,M2内切纤维素酶活提高64%。实时定量PCR分析结果表明,与对照菌株相比,突变株M1和M2中主要纤维素酶基因转录均上调,但不同酶基因在两株菌中有不同的变化特征。此外,纤维素酶抑制转录因子基因ace1在两株突变株中都转录下调,而纤维素酶正调控转录因子基因xyr1仅在M1突变株中上调。以上结果表明,不同人工锌指蛋白对纤维素酶活性的影响具有多样性。对这些突变体中人工锌指蛋白靶基因进行深入分析,为进一步深入探究里氏木霉纤维素酶合成调控的机理,以及利用代谢工程选育更高效的产酶菌株提供了基础。     

An extracellular α-L-arabinofuranosidase secreted from cell suspension cultures of carrot

Carrot ( Daucus carota L. cv. Kintoki) cell cultures secrete an α-L-arabinofuranosidase (α-L-AFase, EC 3.2.1.55) into their culture medium during growth. The extracellular α-L-AFase (α-L-AFase-II) was purified to electrophoretic homogeneity from the concentrated medium using ammonium sulfate precipitation, chromatography on DEAE-Sepharose CL-6B, CM-Sepharose CL-6B, Sephacryl S-200HR and Concanavalin A-Sepharose, and preparative PAGE. The molecular mass of the purified enzyme was estimated to be 84 kDa by Sephacryl S-200HR gel-permeation, and 80 kDa by SDS-PAGE under denaturing conditions. The enzyme contained carbohydrate and protein in a ratio of 1:5 (w/w), and was analyzed for amino acid composition and the sequence of the first 21 amino acids of the N-terminus. The isoelectric point was pH 5.6, the pH optimum 3.8, and the temperature optimum 55°C. The activity was inhibited by Zn²⁺, Ag²⁺, Cu²⁺, Hg²⁺ and p -chloromercuribenzoate. The K_m and V_max values for p -nitrophenyl-α-L-arabinofuranoside were 0.22 m M and 0.11 mmol (mg protein)⁻¹ h⁻¹, respectively. The enzyme acted on beet arabinan in an exo-fashion, and was capable of hydrolysing arabinose-rich polymers purified from pectic polysaccha-rides of carrot cell cultures. However, even after an exhaustive reaction, the enzyme had little or no effect on cell walls from carrot cell cultures.     

Cellular and extracellular localization of endocellulase in Trichoderma reesei

Abstract An endocellulase (1,4-β- d -glucan 4-glucanohydrolase, EC 3.2.1.4) was purified by preparative isoelectric focusing from culture fluids of Trichoderma reesei QM 9414 grown on cellulose. Its properties were studied by affinity titration curves and immunoelectrophoresis. FITC-labeled protein A-antibody was used to document its occurrence in cellulose and in fungal cell walls. Immunogold electron microscopy served to detect endocellulose sites within the outer exopolysaccharide layer of the fungal cell wall.

Desorption of zinc by extracellularly produced metabolites of Trichoderma harzianum, Trichoderma reesei and Coriolus versicolor

AIMS: To determine the role of fungal metabolites in the desorption of metals. METHODS AND RESULTS: Desorption of Zn from charcoal by three different fungi was compared against metal desorption with reverse osmosis water, a 0.1% Tween 80 solution and a 0.1 mol l(-1) CaCl(2) solution. All three fungal filtrates desorbed three times more Zn than either 0.1% Tween 80 or 0.1 mol l(-1) CaCl(2). Metal chelator production in Trichoderma harzianum and Coriolus versicolor was constitutively expressed while chelator production in Trichoderma reesei was induced by Zn. The presence of Zn inhibited the production of metal chelators by C. versicolor. Only C. versicolor was found to produce oxalic acid (a strong metal chelator). All fungi caused a marked decrease in pH, although this was not enough to explain the increased desorption of the metals by the different fungal filtrates. CONCLUSIONS: Metal chelation via organic acids and proteins are the main mechanisms by which the fungal filtrates increase zinc desorption. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: The results of this study explain why plants inoculated with T. harzianum T22 take up more metal from soil, than noninoculated plants while metabolites produced by fungi could be used for metal leaching from contaminated soils.     

The competitive inhibition of Trichoderma reesei C30 cellobiohydrolase I by guanidine hydrochloride

TheP-nitrophenylcellobiosidase (PNPCase) activity of Trichoderma reesei cellobiohydrolase I (CBH I) was competitively inhibited by concentrations of guanidine hydrochloride (Gdn HC1) that did not affect the tryptophan fluorescence of this enzyme. The K_m of CBH I, 3.6 mM, was increased to 45.4 mM in the presence of 0.14 M Gdn HCl, the concentration that was required to inhibit the enzyme by 50%. A similar concentration of lithium chloride and urea had little effect on the PNPCase activity of CBH I. Maximal inhibition was pH dependent, occurring in the range of pH 4.0 to 5.0, which is in the range for maximal activity. Analysis of the inhibition data indicated that 1.2 molecules of Gdn HCl combine reversibly with I molecule of CBH I. Other hydrolases and proteases were also inhibited by Gdn HCl. It is suggested that the inhibition of CBH I by Gdn HCl occurs as a result of the interaction between the positively charged guanidinium group of Gdn HCl and the carboxylate group of glutamic acid 126, postulated to be in the catalytic center of this enzyme.     

Adhesion of cellulose to cell walls to Trichoderma reesei

Carbohydrate-binding components were shown to be present at the surface of Listeria monocytogenes by means of a panel of neoglycoproteins using direct agglutination. These lectin-like components bind on neoglycoproteins bearing D-glucosamine, L-fucosylamine, or para-amino-phenyl-alpha-D-mannopyrannoside residues. The interactions were inhibited by the carbohydrate moieties specific to the neoglycoproteins. The protein nature of the lectin-like components of L. monocytogenes was ascertained by the loss of carbohydrate-binding capacity following protease treatment.
