BiFC Method Based on Intraorganellar Protein Crowding Detects Oleate-Dependent Peroxisomal Targeting of Pichia pastoris Malate Dehydrogenase.

ABSTRACT: The maintenance of intracellular NAD⁺/NADH homeostasis across multiple, subcellular compartments requires the presence of NADH-shuttling proteins, which circumvent the lack of permeability of organelle membranes to these cofactors. Very little is known regarding these proteins in the methylotrophic yeast, Pichia pastoris. During the study of the subcellular locations of these shuttling proteins, which often have dual subcellular locations, it became necessary to develop new ways to detect the weak peroxisomal locations of some of these proteins. We have developed a novel variation of the traditional Bimolecular Fluorescence Complementation (BiFC), called divergent BiFC, to detect intraorganellar colocalization of two noninteracting proteins based on their proximity-based protein crowding within a small subcellular compartment, rather than on the traditional protein-protein interactions expected for BiFC. This method is used to demonstrate the partially peroxisomal location of one such P. pastoris NADH-shuttling protein, malate dehydrogenase B, only when cells are grown in oleate, but not when grown in methanol or glucose. We discuss the mode of NADH shuttling in P. pastoris and the physiological basis of the medium-dependent compartmentalization of PpMdhB.

Project description:Over the past three decades, due to the universal application of Pichia yeast in the fermentation industry as well as the establishment of Pichia pastoris fermentation process for more than 30 years, the technology of the whole process has become very mature and has now reached a stagnated period of growth. However, studies and research conducted on the genomics of the classic fermentation process and the uncovering of the biological phenomena in the fermentation process from the point of view of high-throughput gene or protein is still in its early stages, and there is still insufficient data within this field. First, in collaboration with Agilent Company, we designed and prepared an expression microarray that could be used for the detection of Pichia pastoris transcriptomics. The transcriptomic changes in the five key technology steps (time points), during the fermentation process of Pichia pastoris would then be detected with the aid of an expression microarray. The five key steps of technology described above formed two important biological processes, namely, the limiting carbon source replacement and secondly, the fermentative production of exogenous proteins. The biological phenomena involved in these two processes were displayed and analyzed at the transcriptional level. In addition to this, with regard to the most important function in the fermentation process of Pichia pastoris, oxid-reduction, the metabolic drift process was analyzed and the important genes that might dominate the changes in the metabolic flux were discovered creatively by using the function tree method in this paper. This study was undertaken from the point of view of the transcriptome and the biological phenomena in the fermemntation process of Pichia pastoris. Both of which, were thoroughly explained during this study. The hope is for many more researchers to optimize the strain fermentation process, to produce proteins at the genetic level, as well as providing and obtaining new perspectives and detailed scientific data for the continued development within this field.
