D-xylose catabolic pathways expressed in Herbaspirillum seropedicae

ABSTRACT: Herbaspirillum seropedicae are β-proteobacteria that establish as endophytes in various plants. They are able to consume diverse carbon sources, including hexoses and pentoses like D-xylose. D-xylose catabolism pathways have been described in some microorganisms, but databases of genes involved in these routes are limited. This is of special interest in biotechnology, considering that D-xylose is the second most abundant sugar in nature. Furthermore, it is found in some potential raw materials such as lignocellulosic biomass. In this work we present a study of D-xylose catabolism pathways in H. seropedicae strain Z69, using RNA-seq analysis and the subsequent study of phenotypes determined in targeted mutants in corresponding identified genes. G5B88_22805 gene, designated xylB, encodes a NAD+- dependent D-xylose dehydrogenase. Mutant Z69∆xylB was still able to grow on D-xylose, although at a reduced rate. This is due to expression of an L-arabinose dehydrogenase encoded by G5B88_05250 gene, and was thus able to use D-xylose as substrate. According to our results, H. seropedicae Z69 uses non-phosphorylative pathways to catabolize D-xylose. The lower portion of metabolism involves co-expression of two routes: Weimberg pathway that produces α-ketoglutarate and a novel pathway recently described that produces pyruvate and glycolate. This novel pathway seems to be essential since a mutant in the last step of this pathway, Z69∆G5B88_06410, was unable to grow on D‑xylose.

Weimberg pathway an alternative for utilization of D-xylose for Myceliophthora thermophila

Project description:An alternative for utilization of D-xylose, the non-phosphorylative Weimberg pathway was established in M. thermophila. Changes in transcript levels were surveyed in mutants. Transcriptome analysis revealed that the D-xylose dehydrogenase gene was significantly upregulated after deletion of D-xylose reductase when cultured in D-xylose media. Besides, genes belong to ribosome, biosynthesis of amino acids, biosynthesis of cofactors and carbon metabolism involved in growth were enriched in strains containing Weimberg pathway.

Comparative xylose metabolism among the ascomycetes C. albicans, S. stipitis and S. cerevisiae

Project description:The ascomycetes Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Candida albicans and Scheffersomyces stipitis metabolize the pentose sugar xylose very differently. S. cerevisiae fails to grow on xylose, while C. albicans can grow, and S. stipitis can both grow and ferment xylose to ethanol. However, all three species contain highly similar genes that encode xylose reductase and xylitol dehydrogenase required to convert xylose to xylulose, on which all three fungi grow. We have created C. albicans strains deleted for either or both the xylose reductase gene GRE3, and the xylitol dehydrogenase gene XYL2. As expected, all the mutant strains cannot grow on xylose, while the gre3 mutant can grow on xylitol. The gre3 and xyl2 mutants are complemented efficiently by the XYL1 and XYL2 from S. stipitis respectively. Intriguingly, the S. cerevisiae GRE3 and SOR1 genes can complement the gre3 and xyl2 mutants respectively, showing that S. cerevisiae contains the enzymatic capacity for converting xylose to xylulose. In addition, the gre3 xyl2 double mutant is effectively rescued by the xylose isomerase (XI) gene of either Piromyces or Orpinomyces, suggesting that the XI provides an alternative to the missing oxido-reductase functions in the mutant required for the xylose-xylulose conversion. Overall this work establishes that C. albicans strains engineered to lack essential steps for xylose metabolism provide a platform for the analysis of xylose metabolism enzymes from a variety of species, and confirms that S. cerevisiae has the genetic potential to convert xylose to xylulose, although non-engineered strains cannot proliferate on xylose as the sole carbon source.

APJ1 and GRE3 Homologs Work in Concert to Allow Growth in Xylose in a Genetically Intractable Natural Saccharomyces sensu stricto Hybrid Yeast

Project description:Creating Saccharomyces yeasts capable of efficient fermentation of pentoses such as xylose remains a key challenge in the production of ethanol from lignocellulosic biomass. Metabolic engineering of industrial Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains has yielded xylose-fermenting strains, but these strains have not yet achieved industrial viability due largely to xylose fermentation being prohibitively slower than that of glucose. Recently, it has been shown that naturally occurring xylose-utilizing Saccharomyces species exist. Uncovering the genetic architecture of such strains will shed further light on xylose metabolism, suggesting additional engineering approaches or possibly even the development of xylose-fermenting yeasts that are not genetically modified. We previously identified a hybrid yeast strain, the genome of which is largely Saccharomyces uvarum, which has the ability to grow on xylose as the sole carbon source. Despite the sterility of this hybrid strain, we were able to develop novel methods to genetically characterize its xylose utilization phenotype, using bulk segregant analysis in conjunction with high-throughput sequencing. We found that its growth in xylose is governed by at least two genetic loci: one of the loci maps to a known xylose-pathway gene, a novel allele of the aldo-keto reductase gene GRE3, while a second locus maps to an allele of APJ1, a chaperonin gene not previously connected to xylose metabolism. Our work demonstrates that the power of sequencing combined with bulk segregant analysis can also be applied to a non-genetically-tractable hybrid strain that contains a complex, polygenic trait, and it identifies new avenues for metabolic engineering as well as for construction of non-genetically modified xylose-fermenting strains.

Chlamydomonas reinhardtii Mannosidase 1A and Xylosyltransferase1A N-glycosylation LC/MS-MS

Project description:We have identified insertional mutants of mannosidase 1A and xylosyltransferase 1A in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. Mass spectrometric analyses of intact N-glycopeptides revealed that disruption of the genes altered the N-glycan composition of the alga (in single as well as double mutant). In contrast to wildtype, methylated hexoses and terminal xylose were nearly absent in N-glycopeptides from the Man1A mutant strain whereas the XylT1A mutant showed a lack of core xylose and excessively trimmed N-glycans. The double mutant did not show this excessive trimming, thus Man1A-dependent trimming can be concluded in C. reinhardtii. Furthermore, these data indicate that methylation of hexoses is tightly interlinked with Man1A function, pointing to an enzymatic cascade in the N-glycosylation pathway.

Csac growth on model substrates found in lignocellulose

Project description:The co-utilization of hexoses and pentoses derived from lignocellulose is an attractive trait for in microorganisms considered for consolidated biomass processing to biofuels. This issue was examined for the H2-producing, extremely thermophilic bacterium Caldicellulosiruptor saccharolyticus growing on oligosaccharides (composed of glucose and xylose) compared to monosaccharides. Based on the whole-genome transcriptional response analysis and comparative genomics, carbohydrate specificities for transport systems could be proposed for a number of the 24 putative carbohydrate ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters in the C. saccharolyticus genome. Transcriptome analysis showed different transporters were utilized for uptake of oligosaccharides than those used for monosaccharides uptake. No evidence for catabolite repression was noted for either growth on multi-sugar mixtures or in the corresponding transcriptomes. C. saccharolyticus was subcultured (overnight) seven times on the substrate of interest in modified DSMZ 640 medium before inoculating a 1-liter batch containing 0.5 gram substrate per liter. Cells were grown at 70 Â°C until mid-logarithmic phase (3-5*107) and harvested by rapid cooling to 4 Â°C and centrifugation and then stored at -80 Â°C. To elucidate the transporters plus the central carbon metabolic pathways and their regulation utilized on the different sugars, transcriptome analysis was performed after growth on xylan (oat spelt), xyloglucan, xylogluco-oligosaccharides, glucose and xylose.

Genome-wide and enzymatic analysis reveals efficient D- galacturonic acid metabolism in the basidiomycete yeast Rhodosporidium toruloides

Project description:Biorefining of renewable feedstocks is one of the most promising routes to replace fossil-based products. Since many common fermentation hosts, such as Saccharomyces cerevisiae, are naturally unable to convert many component plant cell wall polysaccharides, the identification of organisms with broad catabolism capabilities represents an opportunity to expand the range of substrates used in fermentation biorefinery approaches. The red basidiomycete yeast Rhodosporidium toruloides is a promising and robust host for lipid and terpene derived chemicals. Previous studies demonstrated assimilation of a range of substrates, from C5/C6-sugars to aromatic molecules similar to lignin monomers. In the current study, we analyzed R. toruloides potential to assimilate Dgalacturonic acid, a major sugar in many pectin-rich agricultural waste streams, including sugar beet pulp and citrus peels. D-galacturonic acid is not a preferred substrate for many fungi, but its metabolism was found to be on par with D-glucose and D-xylose in R. toruloides. A genome-wide analysis by combined RNAseq/RB-TDNAseq revealed those genes with high relevance for fitness on D-galacturonic acid. While R. toruloides was found to utilize the same non-phosphorylative catabolic pathway known from ascomycetes, the maximal velocities of several enzymes exceeded those previously reported. In addition, an efficient downstream glycerol catabolism and a novel transcription factor were found to be important for D-galacturonic acid utilization. These results set the basis for use of R. toruloides as a potential host for pectin-rich waste conversions and demonstrate its suitability as a model for metabolic studies in basidiomycetes.

Csac growth on monosaccharides found in lignocellulose

Project description:The co-utilization of hexoses and pentoses derived from lignocellulose is an attractive trait for in microorganisms considered for consolidated biomass processing to biofuels. This issue was examined for the H2-producing, extremely thermophilic bacterium Caldicellulosiruptor saccharolyticus (Csac) growing on individual monosaccharides (arabinose, fructose, galactose, glucose, mannose and xylose), mixtures of these sugars. Based on the whole-genome transcriptional response analysis and comparative genomics, carbohydrate specificities for transport systems could be proposed for most of the 24 putative carbohydrate ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters in the C. saccharolyticus genome. Transcriptome contrasts for monosacchride growth showed that minimal changes were observed in some cases (e.g., 31 ORFs changed ï³ 2-fold for glucose/galactose) while substantial changes occurred for cases involving mannose (e.g., 363 ORFs ï³ 2-fold for glucose/mannose). No evidence for catabolite repression was noted for either growth on multi-sugar mixtures or in the corresponding transcriptomes. C. saccharolyticus was subcultured (overnight) seven times on the substrate of interest in modified DSMZ 640 medium before inoculating a 1-liter batch containing 0.5 gram substrate per liter. Cells were grown at 70 Â°C until mid-logarithmic phase (3-5*107) and harvested by rapid cooling to 4 Â°C and centrifugation and then stored at -80 Â°C. To elucidate the transporters plus the central carbon metabolic pathways and their regulation utilized on the different sugars, transcriptome analysis was performed after growth on arabinose, fructose, galactose, glucose, mannose, xylose and a mixture of all six substrates.
