Effects of overexpression of STB5 in Saccharomyces cerevisiae on fatty acid biosynthesis, physiology and transcriptome.

ABSTRACT: Microbial conversion of biomass to fatty acids (FA) and products derived thereof is an attractive alternative to the traditional oleochemical production route from animal and plant lipids. This study examined if NADPH-costly FA biosynthesis could be enhanced by overexpressing the transcription factor Stb5 in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Stb5 activates expression of multiple genes encoding enzymes within the pentose phosphate pathway (PPP) and other NADPH-producing reactions. Overexpression of STB5 led to a decreased growth rate and an increased free fatty acid (FFA) production during growth on glucose. The improved FFA synthetic ability in the glucose phase was shown to be independent of flux through the oxidative PPP. RNAseq analysis revealed that STB5 overexpression had wide-ranging effects on the transcriptome in the batch phase, and appeared to cause a counterintuitive phenotype with reduced flux through the oxidative PPP. During glucose limitation, when an increased NADPH supply is likely less harmful, an overall induction of the proposed target genes of Stb5 (eg. GND1/2, TAL1, ALD6, YEF1) was observed. Taken together, the strategy of utilizing STB5 overexpression to increase NADPH supply for reductive biosynthesis is suggested to have potential in strains engineered to have strong ability to consume excess NADPH, alleviating a potential redox imbalance.

Phenotypic effects of membrane protein overexpression in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Project description:Large-scale protein overexpression phenotype screens provide an important complement to the more common gene knockout screens. Here, we have targeted the so far poorly understood Saccharomyces cerevisiae membrane proteome and report growth phenotypes for a strain collection overexpressing approximately 600 C-terminally tagged integral membrane proteins grown both under normal and three different stress conditions. Although overexpression of most membrane proteins reduce the growth rate in synthetic defined medium, we identify a large number of proteins that, when overexpressed, confer specific resistance to various stress conditions. Our data suggest that regulation of glycosylphosphatidylinositol anchor biosynthesis and the Na(+)/K(+) homeostasis system constitute major downstream targets of the yeast PKA/RAS pathway and point to a possible connection between the early secretory pathway and the cells' response to oxidative stress. We also have quantified the expression levels for >550 membrane proteins, facilitating the choice of well expressing proteins for future functional and structural studies.

De novo biosynthesis of 8-hydroxyoctanoic acid via a medium-chain length specific fatty acid synthase and cytochrome P450 in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Project description:Terminally hydroxylated fatty acids or dicarboxylic acids are industrially relevant compounds with broad applications. Here, we present the proof of principle for the de novo biosynthesis of 8-hydroxyoctanoic acid from glucose and ethanol in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Toxicity tests with medium-chain length ?-hydroxy fatty acids and dicarboxylic acids revealed little or no growth impairments on yeast cultures even at higher concentrations. The ability of various heterologous cytochrome P450 enzymes in combination with their cognate reductases for ?-hydroxylation of externally fed octanoic acid were compared. Finally, the most efficient P450 enzyme system was expressed in a yeast strain, whose fatty acid synthase was engineered for octanoic acid production, resulting in de novo biosynthesis of 8-hydroxyoctanoic acid up to 3 ?mg/l. Accumulation of octanoic acid revealed that cytochromes P450 activities were limiting 8-hydroxyoctanoic acid synthesis. The hydroxylation of both externally added and intracellularly produced octanoic acid was strongly dependent on the carbon source used, with ethanol being preferred. We further identified the availability of heme, a cofactor needed for P450 activity, as a limiting factor of 8-hydroxyoctanoic acid biosynthesis.

Effects of camptothecin or TOP1 overexpression on genetic stability in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Project description:Topoisomerase I (Top1) removes DNA torsional stress by nicking and resealing one strand of DNA, and is essential in higher eukaryotes. The enzyme is frequently overproduced in tumors and is the sole target of the chemotherapeutic drug camptothecin (CPT) and its clinical derivatives. CPT stabilizes the covalent Top1-DNA cleavage intermediate, which leads to toxic double-strand breaks (DSBs) when encountered by a replication fork. In the current study, we examined genetic instability associated with CPT treatment or with Top1 overexpression in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Two types of instability were monitored: Top1-dependent deletions in haploid strains, which do not require processing into a DSB, and instability at the repetitive ribosomal DNA (rDNA) locus in diploid strains, which reflects DSB formation. Three 2-bp deletion hotspots were examined and mutations at each were elevated either when a wild-type strain was treated with CPT or when TOP1 was overexpressed, with the mutation frequency correlating with the level of TOP1 overexpression. Under both conditions, deletions at novel positions were enriched. rDNA stability was examined by measuring loss-of-heterozygosity and as was observed previously upon CPT treatment of a wild-type strain, Top1 overexpression destabilized rDNA. We conclude that too much, as well as too little of Top1 is detrimental to eukaryotic genomes, and that CPT has destabilizing effects that extend beyond those associated with DSB formation.

Improving acetyl-CoA biosynthesis in Saccharomyces cerevisiae via the overexpression of pantothenate kinase and PDH bypass.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Acetyl-CoA is an important precursor in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Various approaches have been adopted to improve its cytosolic level previously with the emphasis on engineering the "acetyl-" part of acetyl-CoA. To the best of our knowledge, there have been no reports on engineering the "-CoA" part so far. RESULTS:In this study, we had tried to engineer S. cerevisiae from both the "-CoA" part via pantothenate kinase overexpression (PanK from S. cerevisiae, the rate-limiting enzyme for CoA synthesis) and the "acetyl-"part through PDH bypass introduction (ALD6 from S. cerevisiae and SeAcsL641P from Salmonella enteric). A naringenin-producing reporter strain had been constructed to reflect cytosolic acetyl-CoA level as acetyl-CoA is the precursor of naringenin. It was found that PanK overexpression or PDH bypass introduction alone only led to a twofold or 6.74-fold increase in naringenin titer, but the combination of both (strain CENFPAA01) had resulted in 24.4-fold increase as compared to the control (strain CENF09) in the presence of 0.5 mM substrate p-coumaric acid. The supplement of PanK substrate pantothenate resulted in another 19% increase in naringenin production. CONCLUSIONS:To greatly enhance acetyl-CoA level in yeast cytosol, it is feasible to engineer both the "acetyl-" part and the "-CoA" part simultaneously. Insufficient CoA supply might aggravate acetyl-CoA shortage and cause low yield of target product.

Transcriptional regulation of phospholipid biosynthesis is linked to fatty acid metabolism by an acyl-CoA-binding-protein-dependent mechanism in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Project description:In the present study, we have used DNA microarray and quantitative real-time PCR analysis to examine the transcriptional changes that occur in response to cellular depletion of the yeast acyl-CoA-binding protein, Acb1p. Depletion of Acb1p resulted in the differential expression of genes encoding proteins involved in fatty acid and phospholipid synthesis (e.g. FAS1, FAS2, ACC1, OLE1, INO1 and OPI3), glycolysis and glycerol metabolism (e.g. GPD1 and TDH1), ion transport and uptake (e.g. ITR1 and HNM1) and stress response (e.g. HSP12, DDR2 and CTT1). In the present study, we show that transcription of the INO1 gene, which encodes inositol-3-phosphate synthase, cannot be fully repressed by inositol and choline, and UAS(INO1) (inositol-sensitive upstream activating sequence)-driven transcription is enhanced in Acb1p-depleted cells. In addition, the reduction in inositol-mediated repression of INO1 transcription observed after depletion of Acb1p appeared to be independent of the transcriptional repressor, Opi1p. We also demonstrated that INO1 and OPI3 expression can be normalized in Acb1p-depleted cells by the addition of high concentrations of exogenous fatty acids, or by the overexpression of FAS1 or ACC1. Together, these findings revealed an Acb1p-dependent connection between fatty acid metabolism and transcriptional regulation of phospholipid biosynthesis in yeast. Finally, expression of an Acb1p mutant which is unable to bind acyl-CoA esters could not normalize the transcriptional changes caused by Acb1p depletion. This strongly implied that gene expression is modulated either by the Acb1p-acyl-CoA ester complex directly or by its ability to donate acyl-CoA esters to utilizing systems.

Engineering Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells for production of fatty acid-derived biofuels and chemicals.

Project description:The yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a widely used cell factory for the production of fuels and chemicals, in particular ethanol, a biofuel produced in large quantities. With a need for high-energy-density fuels for jets and heavy trucks, there is, however, much interest in the biobased production of hydrocarbons that can be derived from fatty acids. Fatty acids also serve as precursors to a number of oleochemicals and hence provide interesting platform chemicals. Here, we review the recent strategies applied to metabolic engineering of S. cerevisiae for the production of fatty acid-derived biofuels and for improvement of the titre, rate and yield (TRY). This includes, for instance, redirection of the flux towards fatty acids through engineering of the central carbon metabolism, balancing the redox power and varying the chain length of fatty acids by enzyme engineering. We also discuss the challenges that currently hinder further TRY improvements and the potential solutions in order to meet the requirements for commercial application.

Engineering <i>Saccharomyces cerevisiae</i> for Efficient Biosynthesis of Fatty Alcohols Based on Enhanced Supply of Free Fatty Acids.

Project description:In recent years, production of fatty acid derivatives has attracted much attention because of their wide range of applications in renewable oleochemicals. Microorganisms such as Saccharomyces cerevisiae provided an ideal cell factory for such chemical synthesis. In this study, an efficient strategy for the synthesis of fatty alcohols based on enhanced supply of free fatty acids (FFAs) was constructed. The FAA1 and FAA4 genes encoding two acyl-CoA synthetases in S. cerevisiae were deleted, resulting in the accumulation of FFAs with carbon chain length from C8 to C18. The coexpression of the carboxylic acid reductase gene (car) from Mycobacterium marinum and the phosphopantetheinyl transferase gene (sfp) from Bacillus subtilis successfully converted the accumulated FFAs into fatty alcohols. The concentration of the total fatty alcohols reached 24.3 mg/L, which is in agreement with that of the accumulated FFAs. To further increase the supply of FFAs, the DGAI encoding the acyl-CoA:diacylglycerol acyltransferase involved in the rate-limiting step of triacylglycerols storage was codeleted with FAA1 and FAA4, and the acyl-CoA thioesterase gene (acot) was expressed together with car and sfp, resulting in an enhanced production of fatty alcohols, the content of which increased to 31.2 mg/L. The results herein demonstrated the efficiency of the engineered pathway for the production of fatty acid derivatives using FFAs as precursors.

Vitamin requirements and biosynthesis in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Project description:Chemically defined media for yeast cultivation (CDMY) were developed to support fast growth, experimental reproducibility, and quantitative analysis of growth rates and biomass yields. In addition to mineral salts and a carbon substrate, popular CDMYs contain seven to nine B-group vitamins, which are either enzyme cofactors or precursors for their synthesis. Despite the widespread use of CDMY in fundamental and applied yeast research, the relation of their design and composition to the actual vitamin requirements of yeasts has not been subjected to critical review since their first development in the 1940s. Vitamins are formally defined as essential organic molecules that cannot be synthesized by an organism. In yeast physiology, use of the term "vitamin" is primarily based on essentiality for humans, but the genome of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae reference strain S288C harbours most of the structural genes required for synthesis of the vitamins included in popular CDMY. Here, we review the biochemistry and genetics of the biosynthesis of these compounds by S. cerevisiae and, based on a comparative genomics analysis, assess the diversity within the Saccharomyces genus with respect to vitamin prototrophy.
