Metabolic engineering of oleaginous yeast in lipogenic phase enhances production of nervonic acid

ABSTRACT: Insufficient biosynthesis efficiency can be a major obstacle to engineer oleaginous yeasts to overproduce very long-chain fatty acids (VLCFAs) during the lipogenic phase. Taking nervonic acid (NA, C24:1) as an example, we overcame the bottleneck to overproduce NA in engineered Rhodosporidium toruloides by improving the biosynthesis of VLCFAs during the lipogenic phase. First, evaluating the catalytic preferences of three plant-derived ketoacyl-CoA synthases rationally guided reconstructing efficient NA biosynthetic pathway in R. toruloides. More importantly, a genome-wide transcriptional analysis endowed clues to strengthen the fatty acid elongation (FAE) module and identify/use lipogenic phase-activated promoter, collectively addressing the stagnation of NA accumulation during the lipogenic phase. The best-designed strain exhibited a high NA content (major component in total fatty acid [TFA], 46.3%) and produced a titer of 44.2 g/L in a 5 L bioreactor. The strategy developed here provides an engineering framework to establish the microbial process of producing valuable VLCFAs in oleaginous yeasts.

RNAseq analysis of Rhodosporidium toruloides BOT-A2 for nitrogen-starvation on glucose or xylose

Project description:Oleaginous yeasts are capable of accumulating high levels of intracellular storage lipids from excess carbon during times when other key nutrients are limited. The basidiomycete yeast Rhodosporidium toruloides is an emerging host for microbial cell factory applications thanks to its naturally high lipid and carotenoid production. However, the engineering toolbox in this non-model host is limited and is currently a bottleneck for implementation of metabolic engineering strategies. In this study, we performed differential gene expression analysis with the goal to identify promoters that are strongly induced or repressed by nitrogen-limitation, a condition that is commonly used to induce lipid accumulation in oleaginous yeasts. The genome-wide transcriptional response of R. toruloides BOT-A2 was analysed using RNAseq during exponential growth and nitrogen-starvation, with either glucose or xylose as the sole carbon source. To validate the differential gene expression findings, reporter genes were constructed by placing the candidate promoters in control of a fluorescent protein, integrated in BOT-A2 and evaluated in vivo.

Global transcriptional profiling of oleaginous yeast Rhodosporidium toruloides under nitrogen limitation.

Project description:Nitrogen limitation is a major regulator to initiate lipid overproduction in oleaginous fungi. To examine the influence of nitrogen starvation, chemiostat cultures of R. toruloides in defined media with abundant ammonium (MM) or minute ammonium (MM-N) were performed to obtain steady-state samples. Then Illumina's digital gene expression (DGE) technology was used for high-throughput transcriptome profiling of these samples. Two samples cultured in minimum media with abundant ammonium (MM) or minute ammonium (MM-N)

Proteome analysis of xylose metabolism in Rhodotorula toruloides during lipid production

Project description:Our study is the first investigation of proteome of oleaginous yeast Rhotodorula toruloides during conversion of xylose into lipids. We performed comparative proteomics of R. toruloides during cultivation of two carbon sources: glucose and xylose. Proteome analysis revealed significantly lower levels of ribosomal proteins and translation associated factors in xylose-grown cells as compared to glucose-grown cells. We showed that proteins involved in sugar transport, phospholipid and leucine biosynthesis as well as peroxisomal beta-oxidation and oxidative stress response were differentially regulated in response to carbon source.

Systems analysis of phosphate-limitation induced lipid accumulation by the oleaginous yeast Rhodosporidium toruloides

Project description:Lipid accumulation by oleaginous microorganisms is of great scientific interest and biotechnological potential. While nitrogen limitation has been routinely employed, low-cost raw materials usually contain rich nitrogenous components, thus preventing from efficient lipid production. Inorganic phosphate (Pi) limitation has been found sufficient to promote conversion of sugars into lipids, yet the molecular basis of cellular response to Pi-limitation and concurrent lipid accumulation remains elusive. Here we performed multi-omic analyses of the oleaginous yeast Rhodosporidium toruloides to shield lights on Pi-limitation induced lipid accumulation. Samples were prepared under Pi-limited as well as Pi-replete chemostat conditions, and subjected to analysis at the transcriptomic, proteomic and metabolomic level. In total, 7970 genes, 4212 proteins and 123 metabolites were identified. Results showed that Pi-limitation facilitates up-regulation of Pi-associated metabolism, RNA degradation and triacylglycerol biosynthesis, while down-regulation of ribosome biosynthesis and tricarboxylic acid cycle. Pi-limitation leads to de-phosphorylation of adenosine monophosphate, the allosteric activator of isocitrate dehydrogenase key to lipid biosynthesis. It was found that NADPH, the key cofactor for fatty acid biosynthesis, is limited due to reduced flux through the pentose phosphate pathway and transhydrogenation cycle, and that this can be overcomed by overexpression of an endogenous malic enzyme. These phenomena are found distinctive from those under nitrogen-limitation. The information greatly enriches our understanding on microbial oleaginicity and Pi-related metabolism. Importantly, systems data may facilitate designing advanced cell factories for production of lipids and related oleochemicals.

Inhibition of miR-29 has a significant lipid-lowering benefit through suppression of lipogenic programs in liver

Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are important regulators and potential therapeutic targets of metabolic disease. In this study we show by in vivo administration of locked nucleic acid (LNA) inhibitors that suppression of endogenous miR-29 lowers plasma cholesterol levels by ~40%, commensurate with the effect of statins, and reduces fatty acid content in the liver by ~20%. Whole transcriptome sequencing of the liver reveals 883 genes dysregulated (612 down, 271 up) by inhibition of miR-29. The set of 612 down-regulated genes are most significantly over-represented in lipid synthesis pathways. Among the up-regulated genes are the anti-lipogenic deacetylase sirtuin 1 (Sirt1) and the anti-lipogenic transcription factor aryl hydrocarbon receptor (Ahr), the latter of which we demonstrate is a direct target of miR-29. In vitro radiolabeled acetate incorporation assays confirm that pharmacologic inhibition of miR-29 significantly reduces de novo cholesterol and fatty acid synthesis. Our findings indicate that miR-29 controls hepatic lipogenic programs, likely in part through regulation of Ahr and Sirt1, and therefore may represent a candidate therapeutic target for metabolic disorders such as dyslipidemia.

Hepatic transcriptome profiling of liver-specific Elovl6 knockout mice fed a high-sucrose diet

Project description:Elovl6 is a member of mammalian fatty acid elongase that is responsible for converting C16 saturated and monounsaturated fatty acids into C18 species. To understand the role of Elovl6 in liver, we generated liver-specific Elovl6 knockout mice (Albumin-Cre;Elovl6 fl/fl C57BL/6J). The goal of this experiment was to determine effects of hepatocyte Elovl6 deficiency on the murine liver transcriptome under lipogenic condition.

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.
