The synchronous TAG production with the growth by the expression of chloroplast transit peptide-fused ScPDAT in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii.

ABSTRACT: Background:The synchronous triacylglycerol (TAG) production with the growth is a key step to lower the cost of the microalgae-based biofuel production. Phospholipid: diacylglycerol acyltransferase (PDAT) has been identified recently and catalyzes the phospholipid contributing acyl group to diacylglycerol to synthesize TAG, and is considered as the important source of TAG in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. Results:Using a chimeric Hsp70A-RbcS2 promoter, exogenous PDAT form Saccharomyces cerevisiae fused with a chloroplast transit peptide was expressed in C. reinhardtii CC-137. Proved by western blot, the expression of ScPDAT showed a synchronous trend to the growth in the exponential phase. Compared to the wild type, the strain of Scpdat achieved 22% increase in the content of total fatty acids and 32% increase in TAG content. In addition, the fluctuation of C16 series fatty acid in monogalactosyldiacylglycerol, diacylglyceryltrimethylhomoserine and TAG indicated an enhancement in the TAG accumulation pathway. Conclusion:The TAG production was enhanced in the regular cultivation without the nutrient stress by strengthening the conversion of polar lipid to TAG in C. reinhardtii and the findings provide a candidate strategy for rational engineered strain to overcome the decline in the growth during the TAG accumulation triggered by nitrogen starvation.

Project description:The small subunit of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco) is a major chloroplast stromal protein that is cytosolically synthesized as a precursor with an N-terminal extension, known as the transit sequence or transit peptide (Tp). The Tp is essential for the post-translational uptake of the precursor by the chloroplast. The Tp is thought to influence the conformation of the precursor protein and to facilitate polypeptide translocation across the chloroplast envelope barrier via a Tp-selective translocon. To address these issues we have devised a novel strategy to generate substrate amounts of a chloroplast targeting sequence as a fusion with the chromogenic globular domain of cytochrome b(5) (Cyt). The chimaeric protein is an ideal probe for investigating the conformation of a preprotein and events surrounding protein import into isolated chloroplasts. The Cyt of liver endoplasmic reticulum was fused at its N-terminus with the Tp of the small subunit of Rubisco of Pisum sativum (pea). To enhance its production by clearance from the cytoplasm of Escherichia coli, the chimaera was engineered by further N-terminal linkage of a prokaryotic secretory signal. Expression of this tripartite fusion resulted in mg quantities of the signal sequence-processed Tp-Cyt protein, which was eventually targeted to the membranes. The chromogenic nature of the chimaera and its localization to the bacterial membrane facilitated the biochemical isolation of the precursor in a soluble and functional form. The purified preprotein displayed spectral and enzymic properties that were indistinguishable from the native parental Cyt, implying an absence of observable influence of the Tp on the conformation of the haemoprotein. The chimaeric precursor was imported into the stroma of the isolated chloroplasts in a dose-dependent manner. Import was also strongly dependent upon exogenously supplied ATP. The stromally imported chimaeric precursor protein was processed to a size characteristic of Cyt.
