Acremonium纤维素酶在玉米芯糖化中的应用

玉米芯作为一种木质纤维素类农业废弃物,同时也是生产生物乙醇的潜在原料。在玉米芯糖化过程中,纤维素酶的作用是十分关键的。本研究比较了里氏木霉纤维素酶、绿色木霉纤维素酶和Acremonium纤维素酶各相关酶活。其中Acremonium纤维素酶的滤纸酶活约是里氏木霉纤维素酶的6倍,是绿色木霉纤维素酶的8倍。其羧甲基纤维素酶活和绿色木霉纤维素酶基本相等。Acremonium纤维素酶的β-葡萄糖苷酶酶活是里氏木霉纤维素酶的38倍,以及绿色木霉纤维素酶的41倍。而Acremonium纤维素酶的木聚糖酶活只相当于绿色木霉纤维素酶的70%。这说明Acremonium纤维素酶降解纤维素的能力可能强于另两种纤维素酶,而降解半纤维素类物质的能力要弱于绿色木霉纤维素酶。在玉米芯糖化实验中,使用Acremonium纤维素酶的糖化液中产生的最高葡萄糖浓度比里氏木霉纤维素酶的高14%,比绿色木霉纤维素酶的高58%。Acremonium纤维素酶用量在10 FPU/g时,反应16 h就基本可以达到最佳效果,而另两种酶用量则需达到30 FPU/g,反应48h才能达到最佳效果。使用Acremonium纤维素酶的糖化液中产生的最高木糖浓度与里氏木霉纤维素酶相等,比绿色木霉纤维素酶低42%。而同时使用Acremonium纤维素酶及绿色木霉纤维素酶时,其糖化液中最高木糖浓度有所提高,比绿色木霉纤维素酶的高31%。Acremonium纤维素酶可以有效地应用于玉米芯糖化,为玉米芯的资源化提供一种可能的方案。     

筛选最佳生物质材料诱导里氏木霉生产纤维素酶

本研究用小麦、芒草、水稻这三种低木质素突变株材料作为新型诱导物筛选的对象,对三种木质纤维素材料进行成分分析,然后利用它们分别作为诱导物诱导里氏木霉生产纤维素酶,对其诱导产生的酶活力,胞外蛋白含量,糖化能力进行比较。结果表明,对里氏木霉产纤维素酶诱导效果最好的是水稻H*14、芒草W56、小麦Q142。相比于玉米秸秆作为诱导物,水稻H*14单独诱导里氏木霉β-葡萄糖苷酶效果最好,β-葡萄糖苷酶酶活提高了75.2%,滤纸酶活提高了86.6%。相比玉米秸秆作为诱导物,芒草W56单独诱导里氏木霉木聚糖酶的效果最好,木聚糖酶酶活力提高了9.93%,内切葡聚糖酶酶活也提高了30.8%。相比玉米秸秆作为诱导物,小麦Q142诱导里氏木霉的外切葡聚糖酶酶活效果最好,里氏木霉的外切葡聚糖酶酶活提高了88.6%。本研究发现低木质素的木质纤维素材料作为诱导物对里氏木霉诱导产酶效果较好,并且促进真菌胞外蛋白的分泌,诱导纤维素酶酶系平衡分泌,使得纤维素酶糖化水解能力的提高。该研究为今后纤维素酶工业化生产提供参考和帮助。

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。

[背景]里氏木霉(Trichoderma reesei)是木霉属中产纤维素酶最具代表性的真菌之一,表观遗传调控是不涉及DNA序列变化的可遗传变化,组蛋白去乙酰化是其中一种。组蛋白去乙酰化酶(histone deacetylase,HDAC)负责脱乙酰化,敲除去乙酰化酶基因可引起菌株孢子、菌丝及纤维素酶活性等的一系列改变。[目的]通过敲除里氏木霉组蛋白去乙酰化酶基因(histone deacetylase,hdac)建立了里氏木霉hdac缺失突变株(T.reesei△hdac),以研究对纤维素酶基因表达的调控作用。[方法]利用Split-Maker技术构建了组蛋白去乙酰化酶基因敲除表达盒,并转化了里氏木霉T.reesei QM9414。经PCR及Southern blotting验证正确后,对突变体T.reesei△hdac连续7 d检测滤纸酶活(filter paper activity,AFP)、羧甲基纤维素钠酶活(carboxymethyl cellulase activity,CMCA),利用RT-qPCR检测纤维素酶及其相关基因cbh1、egl1和xyr1的表达。[结果]突变体T.reesei△hdac两种酶活力均显著高于出发菌株,分别高出8.00、30.00 IU/mL。突变体T.reesei△hdac纤维素酶及其相关基因cbh1、egl1和xyr1的转录水平分别为出发菌株T.reesei QM9414的6.50、6.01和4.51倍。[结论]里氏木霉中纤维素酶的基因表达明显受到组蛋白去乙酰化酶基因(hdac)的调控,这为研究里氏木霉表观遗传调控对纤维素酶的影响提供了新的证据。     

Avicel-adsorbable endoglucanase production by the thermophilic fungus Scytalidium thermophilum type culture Torula thermophila

Scytalidium thermophilum type culture Torula thermophila was isolated from mushroom compost and the total cellulase, endoglucanase, Avicel-adsorbable endoglucanase activities, as well as the fungal biomass generation and cellulose utilisation were analyzed in shake flask cultures with Avicel (microcrystalline cellulose) as the carbon source. Results were compared with an industrial strain of Scytalidium thermophilum type culture Humicola insolens. The pH and temperature optima for endoglucanase activities during enzyme assays were also analyzed for both organisms and determined to be pH 6.0 and 65 degrees C for type culture Torula thermophila, and pH 6.5 and 60 degrees C for type culture Humicola insolens. Analysis of the effect of growth temperature showed that type culture T. thermophila can grow and produce cellulases in the range of 35 to 55 degrees C although 40 to 50 degrees C seemed to favor growth and cellulase production. Although 45 degrees C was found optimal for fungal growth, both the specific endoglucanase and Avicel-adsorbable endoglucanase activities (U/mg protein) as well as the percentage of Avicel-adsorbable endoglucanase activity reached maxima at 50 degrees C and were higher as compared to type culture H. insolens. Results indicate that type culture T. thermophila, with further optimisations, is of potential use in the industrial production of cellulases.

从堆肥中筛选到一株产耐热内切葡聚糖酶的放线菌菌株,通过形态观察和16S rRNA序列分析,鉴定为蚀木链霉菌(Streptomyces Xylophagus)。实验中对其产酶的液态发酵条件进行了研究,碳源为1%（w/v）羧甲基纤维素钠,氮源为1%（w/v）豆粕粉,250ml三角瓶30 %装液量,接种量为2%,培养基初始pH为8.0,培养温度为40℃,200r/min培养48h后,发酵液中内切葡聚糖酶活达到0.538IU/ml。该酶的最适作用温度和pH分别为50℃和7.0,50℃下酶活保持1 h不变,60℃保温1h,仍有60%的原酶活性,pH为6.0~7.0酶活稳定,该酶属于一种耐热的中性内切葡聚糖酶。     

Production and Characteristics of Avicel-Disintegrating Endoglucanase from a Protease-Negative Humicola grisea var. thermoidea Mutant

Mutational experiments were performed to decrease the protease productivity of Humicola grisea var. thermoidea YH-78 using UV light and N-methyl-N′-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine. A protease-negative mutant, no. 140, exhibited higher endoglucanase activity than the parent strain in mold bran culture at 50°C for 4 days. The culture extract rapidly disintegrated filter paper but produced a small amount of reducing sugar. About 30% of total endoglucanase activity in the extract was adsorbed onto Avicel. The electrophoretically homogeneous preparation of Avicel-adsorbable endoglucanase (molecular weight, 128,000) showed intensive filter-paper-disintegrating activity but did not release reducing sugar. The preparation also exhibited a highly synergistic effect with the cellulase preparation from Trichoderma reesei in the hydrolysis of microcrystalline cellulose. This endoglucanase was observed via scanning electron microscopy to disintegrate Avicel fibrils layer by layer from the surface, yielding thin sections with exposed chain ends. A mutant, no. 191, producing higher protease activity and an Avicel-unadsorbable, Avicel-nondisintegrating endoglucanase was isolated. The purified enzyme (molecular weight, 63,000) showed no disintegrating activity on filter paper and Avicel and a less synergistic effect with the T. reesei cellulase in hydrolyzing microcrystalline cellulose than did the former enzyme. Endoglucanase was therefore divided into two types, Avicel disintegrating and Avicel nondisintegrating.

Production and characterization of cellulolytic enzymes from the thermoacidophilic fungal Aspergillus terreus M11 under solid-state cultivation of corn stover

The production of extracellular cellulases by a newly isolated thermoacidophilic fungus, Aspergillus terreus M11, on the lignocellulosic materials was studied in solid-state fermentation (SSF). The results showed that the high-level cellulase activity was produced at 45 degrees C pH 3 and moisture 80% with corn stover and 0.8% yeast extract as carbon and nitrogen sources. 581 U endoglucanase activity, 243 U filter paper activity and 128 U beta-glucosidase activity per gram of carbon source were obtained in the optimal condition. Endoglucanase and beta-glucosidase exhibited their maximum activity at pH 2 and pH 3, respectively, and both of them showed remarkable stability in the range of pH 2-5. The activities of endoglucanase and beta-glucosidase were up to the maximum at 70 degrees C and maintained about 65% and 53% of their original activities after incubation at 70 degrees C for 6h. The enzyme preparations from this strain were used to hydrolyze Avicel. Higher hydrolysis yields of Avicel were up to 63% on 5% Avicel (w/v) for 72 h with 20 U FPase/g substrate.     

Molecular cloning and expression in Escherichia coli of a thermophilic Bacillus sp. PDV endo-β-1,4-glucanase gene

The gene encoding endoglucanase in thermophilic Bacillus sp. PDV was cloned in Escherichia coli strain TB1 using pUC 8 as vector. The cloned 3.1 kb PstI DNA fragment was found to express the endoglucanase activity in either orientation. The deletion analysis of pSD 81 suggested that the Bacillus endoglucanase gene expressed in E. coli under the control of its own natural promoter, contained putatively in the 0.2 kb HindIII fragment at the 5′ end of the insert. The relative level of endoglucanase expression in E. coli was about three times higher than that in parent Bacillus sp. PDV. The cloned organism secreted about 84% of the total synthesized CMCase into the culture medium. The CMCase was stable up to 60°C and in the pH range of 4–10.     

Application of cellulases from an alkalothermophilic Thermomonospora sp. in biopolishing of denims

Use of cellulase for denim washing is a standard eco-friendly technique to achieve desirable appearance and softness for cotton fabrics and denims. But enzymatic washing of denim till date involved acid cellulase (Trichoderma reesei) and neutral cellulase (Humicola isolens) the use of which has a drawback of backstaining of the indigo dye on to the fabric. Though it has been suggested that pH is a major factor in controlling backstaining there are no reports on use of cellulase under alkaline conditions for denim washing. In this study for the first time an alkali stable endoglucanase from alkalothermophilic Thermomonospora sp. (T-EG) has been used for denim biofinishing under alkaline conditions. T-EG is effective in removing hairiness with negligible weight loss and imparting softness to the fabric. Higher abrasive activity with lower backstaining was a preferred property for denim biofinishing exhibited by T-EG. The activities were comparable to acid and neutral cellulases that are being regularly used. The enzyme was also effective under non-buffering conditions which is an added advantage for use in textile industry. A probable mechanism of enzymatic finishing of cotton fabric has been represented based on the unique properties of T-EG.     

Enhanced production of Trichoderma reesei endoglucanases and use of the new cellulase preparations in producing the stonewashed effect on denim fabric

Trichoderma reesei strains were constructed for production of elevated amounts of endoglucanase II (EGII) with or without cellobiohydrolase I (CBHI). The endoglucanase activity produced by the EGII transformants correlated with the copy number of the egl2 expression cassette. One copy of the egl2 expression cassette in which the egl2 was under the cbh1 promoter increased production of endoglucanase activity 2.3-fold, and two copies increased production about 3-fold above that of the parent strain. When the enzyme with elevated EGII content was used, an improved stonewashing effect on denim fabric was achieved. A T. reesei strain producing high amounts of EGI and -II activities without CBHI and -II was constructed by replacing the cbh2 locus with the coding region of the egl2 gene in the EGI-overproducing CBHI-negative strain. Production of endoglucanase activity by the EG-transformant strain was increased fourfold above that of the host strain. The filter paper-degrading activity of the endoglucanase-overproducing strain was lowered to below detection, presumably because of the lack of cellobiohydrolases.     

Purification and characterization of a new family 45 endoglucanase, STCE1, from Staphylotrichum coccosporum and its overproduction in Humicola insolens

In the detergent industry, fungal endoglucanases have been used to release microfibrils (defibrillation) from the surface of dyed cellulosic fabrics to enhance color brightness. Although endoglucanases for laundry use must have various properties, such as a neutral or alkaline optimum pH, resistance to anionic surfactants and oxidizing agents (main components in detergents), and high defibrillation activity, all-purpose endoglucanases have not been obtained yet. As a result of screening of endoglucanases, a new family 45 endoglucanase (family 45 glycoside hydrolase), designated STCE1, was obtained and purified to apparent homogeneity from the culture supernatant of Staphylotrichum coccosporum NBRC 31817. The molecular mass of STCE1 was 49 kDa. The optimum pH for the carboxymethyl cellulase activity of STCE1 was 6.0, and the optimum temperature was 60 degrees C. STCE1 was highly resistant to an anionic surfactant and an oxidizing agent. Furthermore, the defibrillation activities on dyed cotton and lyocell fabrics of STCE1 were higher than those of the other representative endoglucanases tested. These results indicate that STCE1 is an all-purpose enzyme for laundry use. A gene encoding STCE1, designated the stce1 gene, was cloned from S. coccosporum, and the complete sequence was determined. STCE1 consisted of three distinct domains: an N-terminal catalytic domain (family 45), a linker domain, and a C-terminal carbohydrate-binding module (family 1). The amino acid sequences of the catalytic domain of STCE1 were phylogenetically close to those of the family 45 endoglucanases EGL3, EGL4, and EGV from a Humicola sp. Hence, the stce1 gene was transferred into Humicola insolens and expressed. As a result, extremely high levels (0.90 mg protein per ml of culture supernatant, 27% of the total proteins) of the recombinant STCE1 were secreted as a mature form in the culture supernatant.
