Characterization of Acetylxylan Esterase from White-Rot Fungus Irpex lacteus.

ABSTRACT: The carbohydrate esterase family 1 (CE1) in CAZy contains acetylxylan esterases (AXEs) and feruloyl esterases (FAEs). Here we cloned a gene coding for an AXE belonging to CE1 from Irpex lacteus (IlAXE1). IlAXE1 was heterologously expressed in Pichia pastoris, and the recombinant enzyme was purified and characterized. IlAXE1 hydrolyzed p-nitrophenyl acetate, α-naphthyl acetate and 4-methylumbelliferyl acetate, however, it did not show any activity on ethyl ferulate and methyl p-coumarate. We also examined the activity on partially acetylated and feruloylated xylan extracted from corncob by hydrothermal reaction. Similarly, ferulic and p-coumaric acids were not liberated, and acetic acid was only detected in the reaction mixture. The results indicated that IlAXE1 is an acetylxylan esterase actually reacted to acetyl xylan. However, since IlAXE1 was unable to completely release acetic acid esterifying xylopyranosyl residues, it is assumed that acetyl groups exhibiting resistance to deacetylation by IlAXE1 are present in corn cob xylan.

Genome sequence of the white-rot fungus Irpex lacteus F17, a type strain of lignin degrader fungus.

Project description:Irpex lacteus, a cosmopolitan white-rot fungus, degrades lignin and lignin-derived aromatic compounds. In this study, we report the high-quality draft genome sequence of I. lacteus F17, isolated from a decaying hardwood tree in the vicinity of Hefei, China.

In addition, a total of 18 snRNA, 842 tRNA, 15 rRNA operons and 11,710 repetitive sequences were also identified. The genomic data provides insights into the mechanisms of the efficient lignin decomposition of this strain.

Deciphering lignocellulose deconstruction by the white rot fungus <i>Irpex lacteus</i> based on genomic and transcriptomic analyses.

Project description:BackgroundIrpex lacteus is one of the most potent white rot fungi for biological pretreatment of lignocellulose for second biofuel production. To elucidate the underlying molecular mechanism involved in lignocellulose deconstruction, genomic and transcriptomic analyses were carried out for I. lacteus CD2 grown in submerged fermentation using ball-milled corn stover as the carbon source.ResultsIrpex lacteus CD2 efficiently decomposed 74.9% lignin, 86.3% cellulose, and 83.5% hemicellulose in corn stover within 9 days. Manganese peroxidases were rapidly induced, followed by accumulation of cellulase and hemicellulase. Genomic analysis revealed that I. lacteus CD2 possessed a complete set of lignocellulose-degrading enzyme system composed mainly of class II peroxidases, dye-decolorizing peroxidases, auxiliary enzymes, and 182 glycoside hydrolases. Comparative transcriptomic analysis substantiated the notion of a selection mode of degradation. These analyses also suggested that free radicals, derived either from MnP-organic acid interplay or from Fenton reaction involving Fe2+ and H2O2, could play an important role in lignocellulose degradation.ConclusionsThe selective strategy employed by I. lacteus CD2, in combination with low extracellular glycosidases cleaving plant cell wall polysaccharides into fermentable sugars, may account for high pretreatment efficiency of I. lacteus. Our study also hints the importance of free radicals for future designing of novel, robust lignocellulose-degrading enzyme cocktails.

Bioprospecting White-Rot Basidiomycete Irpex lacteus for Improved Extraction of Lignocellulose-Degrading Enzymes and Their Further Application.

Project description:Lignocellulosic biomass can be used as a source for energy, fuel and valuable chemical production. From all available technologies, biological approaches have been recognized as the most environmentally friendly and sustainable ones. At the same time, high conversion costs, low efficiency and environmental issues still hinder the introduction of biological processes into industrial scale manufacturing. The aim of this study was to determine the most suitable enzyme cocktail recovery conditions from a biomass-fungal culture of the white-rot basidiomycete Irpex lacteus. Subsequent evaluation of the overall enzyme cocktail efficiency to release fermentable carbohydrates from biomass showed that prolonged fungal cultivation decreases the quality of the produced enzyme cocktail. At the same time, introduction of ultrasound pre-treatment during enzyme extraction improved the recovered enzyme cocktail efficiency in converting biomass to fermentable sugars, yielding up to 0.25 g of fermentable sugar per g dry hay biomass and up to 0.11 g per g dried straw or microalgae substrates. The results demonstrated that the production of lignocellulose-degrading enzymes from fungi is more sensitive than previously described, especially in terms of fungal growth, culture sterility and incubation conditions.

Differential proteomic analysis of the secretome of Irpex lacteus and other white-rot fungi during wheat straw pretreatment.

Project description:BackgroundIdentifying new high-performance enzymes or enzyme complexes to enhance biomass degradation is the key for the development of cost-effective processes for ethanol production. Irpex lacteus is an efficient microorganism for wheat straw pretreatment, yielding easily hydrolysable products with high sugar content. Thus, this fungus was selected to investigate the enzymatic system involved in lignocellulose decay, and its secretome was compared to those from Phanerochaete chrysosporium and Pleurotus ostreatus which produced different degradation patterns when growing on wheat straw. Extracellular enzymes were analyzed through 2D-PAGE, nanoLC/MS-MS, and homology searches against public databases.ResultsIn wheat straw, I. lacteus secreted proteases, dye-decolorizing and manganese-oxidizing peroxidases, and H2O2 producing-enzymes but also a battery of cellulases and xylanases, excluding those implicated in cellulose and hemicellulose degradation to their monosaccharides, making these sugars poorly available for fungal consumption. In contrast, a significant increase of β-glucosidase production was observed when I. lacteus grew in liquid cultures. P. chrysosporium secreted more enzymes implicated in the total hydrolysis of the polysaccharides and P. ostreatus produced, in proportion, more oxidoreductases.ConclusionThe protein pattern secreted during I. lacteus growth in wheat straw plus the differences observed among the different secretomes, justify the fitness of I. lacteus for biopretreatment processes in 2G-ethanol production. Furthermore, all these data give insight into the biological degradation of lignocellulose and suggest new enzyme mixtures interesting for its efficient hydrolysis.

New Sesquiterpenoids From Plant-Associated <i>Irpex lacteus</i>.

Project description:Bacteria produce a large number of virulence factors through the quorum sensing (QS) mechanism. Inhibiting such QS system of the pathogens without disturbing their growth is a potential strategy to control multi-drug-resistant pathogens. To accomplish this, two new tremulane-type sesquiterpenoids, irpexolaceus H (1) and I (2), along with two known furan compounds, irpexlacte B (3) and C (4), were isolated from Orychophragmus violaceus (L.) OE Schulz endophytic fungus Irpex lacteus (Fr.) Fr. Their structures were elucidated by detailed spectroscopic data (NMR, HRESIMS, IR, and UV), single-crystal X-ray diffraction, and electronic circular dichroism (ECD) analysis. Furthermore, those compounds were evaluated for anti-quorum sensing (anti-QS) activity, and compound 3 was found contributing to the potential QS inhibitory activity.
