Characterization of Cellobiohydrolases from Schizophyllum commune KMJ820.

ABSTRACT: A novel cellobiohydrolase (CBH)-generating fungi have been isolated and categorized as Schizophyllum commune KMJ820 based on morphology and rDNA gene sequence. Cellulose powder was used as carbon source, the total enzyme activity was 11.51 U/ml is noted; which is among the highest amounts of CBH-generating microbes studied. CBH have been purified to homogenize, with pursual of serial chromatography using S. commune supernatants and two different CBHs were found; CBH 1 and 2. The filtered CBHs showed greater activity (V _max = 51.4 and 20.8 U/mg) in contrast to CBHs from earlier studies. The MW (molecular weights) of S. commune CBH 1 and 2 were verified to be approximately 50 kDa and 150 kDa, respectively, by size exclusion chromatography. Even though CBHs have been evaluated from other sources, but S. commune CBH is prominent in comparison to other CBHs by its high enzyme activity.

Identification and characterization of <i>Schizophyllum commune</i> type I metacaspases.

Project description:The role of programmed cell death in filamentous fungi is not well-understood, but is important due to the role of fungi in opportunistic infections. Plants, fungi and protozoa do not have caspase genes, but instead express the homologous proteins denoted metacaspases. To better understand the role of metacaspases in fungi we present an analysis of the sequences and activities of all five Type I metacaspases from Schizophyllum commune (ScMC), a mushroom-forming basiodmycete that undergoes sexual reproduction. The five Type I metacaspases of S. commune can be divided into two groups based on sequence similarity. Enzymes both with and without the N-terminal prodomain are active, but here we report on the constructs without the prodomains (Δpro). All five ScMCΔpro proteins show the highest enzymatic activity between pH 7 and 8 and require calcium for optimal activity. Optimal Ca2+ concentrations for ScMC1Δpro and ScMC2Δpro are 50 mM, while ScMC3, ScMC4Δpro and ScMC5Δpro activity is optimal around 5 mM calcium. All five S. commune metacaspases have similar substrate specificity. They are most active with Arg in the P1 position and inactive with Asp in the P1 position.

Characterization of trehalose phosphorylase from Schizophyllum commune.

Project description:During growth on d-glucose, the basidiomycete Schizophyllum commune produces an intracellular alpha,alpha-trehalose phosphorylase. Specific phosphorylase activity increases steadily during the exponential growth phase, up to a maximum of approx. 0.08 unit/mg of protein, and decreases after the available d-glucose in the medium has been fully depleted. The variation with time of the concentrations of intracellular alpha,alpha-trehalose and Pi is reciprocal to that of trehalose phosphorylase activity, indicating that the enzyme makes temporary use of the pool of alpha, alpha-trehalose (approx. 0.42 mmol/g dry cell) via phosphorolysis. The enzyme has been purified, 150-fold, to homogeneity in 55% yield and characterized. It is a monomeric 61 kDa protein, which seems to lack regulation at the level of enzyme activity. The enzyme catalyses the reversible phosphorolysis of alpha,alpha-trehalose into alpha-d-glucose 1-phosphate and alpha-d-glucose in the absence of cofactors, with a catalytic-centre activity at 30 degrees C of 14 s(-1). Double-reciprocal analysis of the initial velocities for trehalose phosphorolysis and synthesis yields intersecting patterns, and no exchange reaction occurs between alpha-d-glucose 1-phosphate and the phosphate analogue arsenate. Therefore trehalose phosphorylase operates by a ternary-complex, rather than a Ping-Pong, kinetic mechanism. The specificity constants (kcat/Km) of phosphate (6000 M(-1).s(-1)) and alpha-d-glucose 1-phosphate (3500 M(-1).s(-1)) compared with those of alpha,alpha-trehalose (161 M(-1).s(-1)) and d-glucose (260 M(-1).s(-1)), together with the inhibition by NaCl, which is competitive with respect to phosphate with a Ki of 67 mM, suggest an important role for ionic enzyme-phosphate interactions in the catalytic mechanism of trehalose phosphorylase. The isolated enzyme requires alpha,alpha-trehalose (0.1-0.3 M) for its conformational stability.

Allergic fungal sinusitis caused by Schizophyllum commune.

Project description:A case of allergic fungal sinusitis (AFS) due to Schizophyllum commune was reported. The pathogen was identified using molecular bioanalysis. The patient underwent the functional endoscopic sinus surgery followed by the radical maxillary sinusotomy with canine fossa trephine. This case suggested that complete surgery allowed optimal disease clearance for AFS caused by Schizophyllum commune.

Inositol Signaling in the Basidiomycete Fungus Schizophyllum commune.

Project description:Intracellular signaling is conserved in eukaryotes to allow for response to extracellular signals and to regulate development and cellular functions. In fungi, inositol phosphate signaling has been shown to be involved in growth, sexual reproduction, and metabolic adaptation. However, reports on mushroom-forming fungi are lacking so far. In Schizophyllum commune, an inositol monophosphatase has been found up-regulated during sexual development. The enzyme is crucial for inositol cycling, where it catalyzes the last step of inositol phosphate metabolism, restoring the inositol pool from the monophosphorylated inositol monophosphate. We overexpressed the gene in this model basidiomycete and verified its involvement in cell wall integrity and intracellular trafficking. Strong phenotypes in mushroom formation and cell metabolism were evidenced by proteome analyses. In addition, altered inositol signaling was shown to be involved in tolerance towards cesium and zinc, and increased metal tolerance towards cadmium, associated with induced expression of kinases and repression of phosphatases within the inositol cycle. The presence of the heavy metals Sr, Cs, Cd, and Zn lowered intracellular calcium levels. We could develop a model integrating inositol signaling in the known signal transduction pathways governed by Ras, G-protein coupled receptors, and cAMP, and elucidate their different roles in development.

Functional characterization of a lytic polysaccharide monooxygenase from Schizophyllum commune that degrades non-crystalline substrates.

Project description:Lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) are mono-copper enzymes that use O2 or H2O2 to oxidatively cleave glycosidic bonds. LPMOs are prevalent in nature, and the functional variation among these enzymes is a topic of great interest. We present the functional characterization of one of the 22 putative AA9-type LPMOs from the fungus Schizophyllum commune, ScLPMO9A. The enzyme, expressed in Escherichia coli, showed C4-oxidative cleavage of amorphous cellulose and soluble cello-oligosaccharides. Activity on xyloglucan, mixed-linkage β-glucan, and glucomannan was also observed, and product profiles differed compared to the well-studied C4-oxidizing NcLPMO9C from Neurospora crassa. While NcLPMO9C is also active on more crystalline forms of cellulose, ScLPMO9A is not. Differences between the two enzymes were also revealed by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) titration studies showing that, in contrast to NcLPMO9C, ScLPMO9A has higher affinity for linear substrates compared to branched substrates. Studies of H2O2-fueled degradation of amorphous cellulose showed that ScLPMO9A catalyzes a fast and specific peroxygenase reaction that is at least two orders of magnitude faster than the apparent monooxygenase reaction. Together, these results show that ScLPMO9A is an efficient LPMO with a broad substrate range, which, rather than acting on cellulose, has evolved to act on amorphous and soluble glucans.

Identification of Volatile Sulfur Compounds Produced by Schizophyllum commune.

Project description:Schizophyllum commune is a causative agent of allergic bronchopulmonary mycosis, allergic fungal rhinosinusitis, and basidiomycosis. Diagnosis of these diseases remains difficult because no commercially available tool exists to identify the pathogen. Unique volatile organic compounds produced by a pathogen might be useful for non-invasive diagnosis. Here, we explored microbial volatile organic compounds produced by S. commune. Volatile sulfur compounds, dimethyl disulfide (48 of 49 strains) and methyl ethyl disulfide (49 of 49 strains), diethyl disulfide (34 of 49 strains), dimethyl trisulfide (40 of 49 strains), and dimethyl tetrasulfide (32 of 49 strains) were detected from headspace air in S. commune cultured vials. Every S. commune strain produced at least one volatile sulfur compound analyzed in this study. Those volatile sulfur compounds were not detected from the cultures of Aspergillus spp. (A. fumigatus, A. flavus, A. niger, and A. terreus), which are other major causative agents of allergic bronchopulmonary mycosis. The last, we examined H2S detection using lead acetate paper. Headspace air from S. commune rapidly turned the lead acetate paper black. These results suggest that those volatile sulfur compounds are potent targets for the diagnosis of S. commune and infectious diseases.

Function of sesquiterpenes from Schizophyllum commune in interspecific interactions.

Project description:Wood is a habitat for a variety of organisms, including saprophytic fungi and bacteria, playing an important role in wood decomposition. Wood inhabiting fungi release a diversity of volatiles used as signaling compounds to attract or repel other organisms. Here, we show that volatiles of Schizophyllum commune are active against wood-decay fungi and bacteria found in its mycosphere. We identified sesquiterpenes as the biologically active compounds, that inhibit fungal growth and modify bacterial motility. The low number of cultivable wood inhabiting bacteria prompted us to analyze the microbial community in the mycosphere of S. commune using a culture-independent approach. Most bacteria belong to Actinobacteria and Proteobacteria, including Pseudomonadaceae, Sphingomonadaceae, Erwiniaceae, Yersiniaceae and Mariprofundacea as the dominating families. In the fungal community, the phyla of ascomycetes and basidiomycetes were well represented. We propose that fungal volatiles might have an important function in the wood mycosphere and could meditate interactions between microorganisms across domains and within the fungal kingdom.
