Metadata Analysis of Phanerochaete chrysosporium Gene Expression Data Identified Common CAZymes Encoding Gene Expression Profiles Involved in Cellulose and Hemicellulose Degradation.

ABSTRACT: In literature, extensive studies have been conducted on popular wood degrading white rot fungus, Phanerochaete chrysosporium about its lignin degrading mechanisms compared to the cellulose and hemicellulose degrading abilities. This study delineates cellulose and hemicellulose degrading mechanisms through large scale metadata analysis of P. chrysosporium gene expression data (retrieved from NCBI GEO) to understand the common expression patterns of differentially expressed genes when cultured on different growth substrates. Genes encoding glycoside hydrolase classes commonly expressed during breakdown of cellulose such as GH-5,6,7,9,44,45,48 and hemicellulose are GH-2,8,10,11,26,30,43,47 were found to be highly expressed among varied growth conditions including simple customized and complex natural plant biomass growth mediums. Genes encoding carbohydrate esterase class enzymes CE (1,4,8,9,15,16) polysaccharide lyase class enzymes PL-8 and PL-14, and glycosyl transferases classes GT (1,2,4,8,15,20,35,39,48) were differentially expressed in natural plant biomass growth mediums. Based on these results, P. chrysosporium, on natural plant biomass substrates was found to express lignin and hemicellulose degrading enzymes more than cellulolytic enzymes except GH-61 (LPMO) class enzymes, in early stages. It was observed that the fate of P. chrysosporium transcriptome is significantly affected by the wood substrate provided. We believe, the gene expression findings in this study plays crucial role in developing genetically efficient microbe with effective cellulose and hemicellulose degradation abilities.

Project description:BackgroundCellobiose dehydrogenase from Phanerochaete chrysosporium (PcCDH) is a key enzyme in lignocellulose depolymerization, biosensors and biofuel cells. For these applications, it should retain important molecular and catalytic properties when recombinantly expressed. While homologous expression is time-consuming and the prokaryote Escherichia coli is not suitable for expression of the two-domain flavocytochrome, the yeast Pichia pastoris is hyperglycosylating the enzyme. Fungal expression hosts like Aspergillus niger and Trichoderma reesei were successfully used to express CDH from the ascomycete Corynascus thermophilus. This study describes the expression of basidiomycetes PcCDH in T. reesei (PcCDHTr) and the detailed comparison of its molecular, catalytic and electrochemical properties in comparison with PcCDH expressed by P. chrysosporium and P. pastoris (PcCDHPp).ResultsPcCDHTr was recombinantly produced with a yield of 600 U L-1 after 4 days, which is fast compared to the secretion of the enzyme by P. chrysosporium. PcCDHTr and PcCDH were purified to homogeneity by two chromatographic steps. Both enzymes were comparatively characterized in terms of molecular and catalytic properties. The pH optima for electron acceptors are identical for PcCDHTr and PcCDH. The determined FAD cofactor occupancy of 70% for PcCDHTr is higher than for other recombinantly produced CDHs and its catalytic constants are in good accordance with those of PcCDH. Mass spectrometry showed high mannose-type N-glycans on PcCDH, but only single N-acetyl-D-glucosamine additions at the six potential N-glycosylation sites of PcCDHTr, which indicates the presence of an endo-N-acetyl-β-D-glucosaminidase in the supernatant.ConclusionsHeterologous production of PcCDHTr is faster and the yield higher than secretion by P. chrysosporium. It also does not need a cellulose-based medium that impedes efficient production and purification of CDH by binding to the polysaccharide. The obtained high uniformity of PcCDHTr glycoforms will be very useful to investigate electron transfer characteristics in biosensors and biofuel cells, which are depending on the spatial restrictions inflicted by high-mannose N-glycan trees. The determined catalytic and electrochemical properties of PcCDHTr are very similar to those of PcCDH and the FAD cofactor occupancy is good, which advocates T. reesei as expression host for engineered PcCDH for biosensors and biofuel cells.

Project description:Transcript profiles of Phanerochaete chrysosporium grown on different substrates were analyszed. Array design was based on the DoE's Joint Genome Institute's gene models for P. chrysosporium version s. The research goal is to identify genes essential for lignocellulose depolymerization. From a data set of 10004 unique gene models, each NimbleGen (Madison, WI) array targeted 9959 genes and featured 12 unique 60mers per gene, all in triplicate. RNA and protein were obtained from P. chrysosporium strain RP78 (Forest Mycology Center, Forest Products Lab) grown in HighleyM-bM-^@M-^Ys basal salt medium containing 0.5% (w/v) wiley milled (1 mm mesh) wood. For each of the three samples (hybrid line P717, transgenic line 82, transgenic line 64) multiple branches were harvested, debarked and dried. Each two-liter Erlenmeyer flask contained 250 ml medium and was inoculated with approximately 10e7 P. chrysosporium spores scraped from the surface of YMPG agar. Cultures were incubated for five days on a rotary shaker (150 RPM) at 37M-BM-0 C. For RNA, mycelium from triplicate cultures was collected by filtration through Miracloth (Calbiochem, EMD Biosciences, Gibbstown, NJ), squeeze dried and snap frozen in liquid nitrogen. Pellets were stored at -80 M-BM-0C until use. For mass spectroscopic analysis, culture filtrates were stored at -20 before use. P. chrysosporium Roche NimbleGen array design was similar to GPL8022, but repetitive elements were removed and 25 gene targets were added. The latter corresponded to open reading frames for which peptides had been detected in culture filtrates. Culture condition compariso: Total RNA was purified from frozen mycelial pellets, converted to Cy3 labeled cDNA, hybridized to microarrays, and scanned as described by Vanden Wymelenberg et al 2010 (Appl Enviro Microbiol 76:3599-3610). The 9 arrays used in these experiments were scanned on the Axon4000B Scanner (Molecular Dynamics) and data extracted using NimbleScan v2.4. Quantile normalization and robust multi-array averaging (RMA) were applied to the raw data using DNASTAR ArrayStar v4 (Madison, WI). Expression levels are based on log2 signals and significant differences in expression were determined using the Moderated t-Test with the FDR threshold set at P<0.05. triplicate cultures for each substrate (wood genotype); The three wood substrates are lines 64, 82 and P717; three different media, and each medium was represented by three flasks (reps).
