The galactose regulator GalX regulates the D-galactose oxido-reductive pathway in Aspergillus niger.

ABSTRACT: Galactose catabolism in Aspergillus nidulans is regulated by at least two regulators, GalR and GalX. In Aspergillus niger only GalX is present, and its role in D-galactose catabolism in this fungus was investigated. Phenotypic and gene expression analysis of a wild type and a galX disruptant revealed that GalX does not substitute for the absence of GalR in A. niger, it regulates the D-galactose oxido-reductive pathway, but not the Leloir pathway. Four genes, including the recently characterized ladB (galactitol dehydrogenase) were found to have differencial expressions that are highly relevant to GalX , indicating a novel oxido-reductive pathway in A.niger . We aim to discover differentially expressed genes in A.niger wild type strain N402 and M-NM-^TgalX mutant while growing on galactose as carbon source. Biological duplicates were made for both strains. The strains were grown O/N in complete medium with 2% frunctose and mycelium was then washed and transferred to minimal medium with 25 mM D-galactose and incubated for 2 hours. Affymetrix microarray experiments were performed RNA isolated from these samples.

Aspergillus niger RhaR, a regulator involved in L-rhamnose release and catabolism

Project description:The genome of the filamentous fungus Aspergillus niger is rich in genes encoding pectinases, a broad class of enzymes that have been extensively studied due to their use in industrial applications. The sequencing of the A. niger genome provided more knowledge concerning the individual pectinolytic genes, but relatively little is still known about the regulatory genes involved in pectin degradation. Understanding regulation of the pectinolytic genes provides a tool to optimize the production of pectinases in this industrially important fungus. This study describes the identification and characterization of one of the activators of pectinase-encoding genes, RhaR. Inactivation of the gene encoding this regulator resulted in down-regulation of genes involved in the release and catabolism of L-rhamnose from the pectinolytic substructure rhamnogalacturonan I. We aim to discover differencial expressed genes in A.niger wild type strain N402 and M-NM-^TrhaR mutant while growing on rhamnose as carbon source. Biological duplicates were made for both strain at the growth of 2 hours, Affymetrix microarray experiments were performed on these samples.

GalR Acts as a Transcriptional Activator of galKT in the Presence of Galactose in Streptococcus pneumoniae

Project description:We explored the regulatory mechanism of Leloir pathway genes in Streptococcus pneumoniae D39. Here, we demonstrate that the expression of galKT is galactose dependent. By microarray analysis and quantitative RT-PCR, we further show the role of the transcriptional regulator GalR, present upstream of galKT, as a transcriptional activator of galKT in the presence of galactose. Moreover, we predict a 19-bp regulatory site (5'-GATAGTTTAGTAAAATTTT-3' ) for the transcriptional regulator GalR in the promoter region of galK, which is also highly conserved in other streptococci. Growth comparison of Δ galK with the D39 wildtype strain grown in the presence of galactose shows that galK is required for the proper growth of S. pneumoniae on galactose. This SuperSeries is composed of the SubSeries listed below.

Transcriptional profiling of Myceliophthora thermophila on galactose and metabolic engineering for improved galactose utilization

Project description:Transcriptional landscape of MyceliopTranscriptional profiling of Myceliophthora thermophila on galactose and metabolic engineering for improved galactose utilization thora thermophila responding to soluble starch and the role of regulator AmyR on polysaccharide degradation Efficient biological conversion of all sugars from lignocellulosic biomass is necessary for cost-effective production of biofuels and commodity chemicals. Galactose is the next most abundant sugar in many hemicelluloses and it will be important to capture this carbon for an efficient bioconversion process of plant biomass. Thermophilic fugus Myceliophthora thermophila has been used as cell factory to produce biochemicals directly from renewable polysaccharides. This study determined the transcriptomic profiles of M. thermophila responding to galactose and identified the gene involved in the oxido-reductive pathway for galactose degradation, of which hexokinase might be the rate-limiting enzyme in this thermophilic fungus. Galactokinase was necessary for high induction of galactose transporter and disruption of galK resulted in decreased galactose utilization. Both of galactokinase deletion and sugar transporter overexpression could further activate the oxido-reductive pathway and led to improved galactose utilization. In addition, disruption of the Leloir pathway brought about reduced tolerance to cell wall perturbation, oxidative stress and high osmolality. In order to accelerate galactose consumption, the third galactose-degradation pathway- De Ley-Doudoroff pathway was successfully integrated into M. thermophila and the consumption rate of galactose was increased by 57%. This study will be benefit for the rational design of fungal strains to produce biofuels and biochemical from plant biomass, especially, marine plant biomass with the abundant of galactose, such as red seaweed and molasses.

Expression data from batch cultivations of Aspergillus niger wild type and adrA, facB and creA deletion mutants

Project description:Expression data from batch cultivations of Aspergillus niger wild type strain ATCC 1015 and adrA, facB and creA deletion mutants constructed on ATCC 1015 background strain with glucose or glycerol as carbon sources. Genome-wide transcriptome analysis was used to identify genes either affected directly or indirectly by each transcription factor investigated during growth on a repressing or a derepressing carbon source. For this purpose, batch cultivations under well-controlled conditions were performed with Aspergillus niger wild type strain ATCC 1015 and the three deletion mutants of the corresponding transcription factors AdrA, FacB and CreA. Samples for RNA extraction were collected and further processed for hybridization in custom-designed Affymetrix microarrays containing probes for three Aspergillus species, including A. niger. Triplicate batch fermentations of each of the four Aspergillus niger strains used, the wild type A. niger strain ATCC 1015 and three gene deletion mutants, were carried out using glucose or glycerol as carbon source, and transcriptome analysis was performed. Biomass from each batch cultivation was harvested in the exponential phase of growth and further processed for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays.

Attachment of Bacillus subtilis to the hyphae of Aspergillus niger results in altered metabolism and defense mechanisms in both partner

Project description:Interaction of microbes affects the growth, metabolism and differentiation of members of the community. While direct and indirect competitions, like spite and nutrient consumption have negative effect on each other, microbes also evolved in nature not only to fight, but in some cases to adapt or support each other while increasing the fitness of the community. Presence of bacteria and fungi in the soil results in interactions and various examples were described, including mutualism. Bacilli attach to the plant root and form complex communities in the rhizosphere. Bacillus subtilis, when grown in the presence of Aspergillus niger interacts with the fungal partner, attaches and grows on the hyphae. Using dual transcriptome experiment, we show that both fungi and bacteria alter their metabolisms during the interaction. Interestingly, the transcription of genes related to the antifungal and antibacterial defense mechanism of B. subtilis and A. niger, respectively, are decreased upon attachment of bacteria to the mycelia. Our microarray experiments provide a novel insight into the mutual interaction of a bacterium and a fungus. Aspergillus niger were grown with and without Bacillus subtilis. Biological triplicates were made for both conditions, Affymetrix microarray experiments were performed on these samples.

Functional genomics study of Aspergillus niger biofilms for the identification and characterization of genes of lignocellulolytic enzymes of industrial interest

Project description:Aspergillus niger produces a variety of lignocellulolytic enzymes (cellulases, hemicellulases, among others) and is regarded as cell factory for the production of heterologous proteins. Therefore, there is a growing interest in the study of its genes and the understanding of the cellular mechanisms in order to expand its applications. On the other hand, we have shown that enzyme production by A. niger is higher when grown forming biofilms than when grown conventionally in submerged systems. The objective of this study was to perform a global transcriptomic analysis and an expression analysis of both lignocellulases and biofilm regulatory genes as compared to A. niger in submerged culture. DNA microarray assays were performed to investigate the global gene expression which yielded information on the expression of more than 90% of A. niger genes. To further this comparison, the two culture systems were supplemented with different carbon sources (glucose, lactose, xylose and maltose) to establish a differential gene expression under different culture conditions. Also, to validate the differential expression qPCR was performed for quantitative comparison of the transcriptional level of genes in both culture systems.

Expression data from batch cultivations with the acidogenic Aspergillus niger wild type strain ATCC 1015 and the areB complete deletion strain constructed using ATCC 1015 as background strain with glucose or glycerol as carbon sources.

Project description:This approach aims at searching unidentified regulatory roles of the AreB transcription factor in the overall carbon metabolism of A. niger. A full areB gene deletion mutant was constructed and characterized in A. niger ATCC 1015. Both strains were grown on glucose or glycerol using ammonia as nitrogen source in batch cultivations and the transcriptome was analyzed using three biological replicated transcriptome experiments. Two areB gene deletion replicates, one on glucose and one on glycerol were discarded due to bad quality and therefore not included in the analysis. Samples for RNA extraction were collected and further processed for hybridization in custom designed Affymetrix microarrays containing probes for three Aspergillus species including A. niger. Triplicate batch fermentations with the two Aspergillus niger strains used, the wild type A. niger strain ATCC 1015 and the areB complete gene deletion strain were carried out and transcriptome analysis was performed. Biomass from each batch cultivation was harvested in the exponential phase of growth and further processed for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays.

Expression data from batch cultivations with A. niger, A. oryzae and A. nidulans grown on glucose and glycerol

Project description:Conserved transcriptional regulation of glycerol metabolism was investigated in three Aspergillus species, A. nidulans, A. oryzae and A. niger. For this purpose, batch cultivations under well controlled conditions were performed with the three Aspergilli. Samples for RNA extraction were collected and further processed for hybridization in custom designed Affymetrix microarrays containing probes for the three Aspergillus species. Protein comparisons and cross analysis with gene expression data of all three species resulted in the identification of 88 genes having a conserved response across the three Aspergillus species. A promoter analysis of the up-regulated genes led to the identification of a conserved binding site for a putative regulator. Triplicate batch fermentations with each of the three Aspergillus species were carried out and transcriptome analysis was performed. Biomass from each Aspergillus species was harvested in the exponential phase of growth and further processed for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays.
