Project description:Saccharomyces cerevisiae cannot metabolize cellobiose in nature. Here, S. cerevisiae was engineered to achieve cellobiose utilization by introducing both a cellodextrin transporter gene (cdt-1) and an intracellular β-glucosidase gene (gh1-1) from Neurospora crassa. We sequenced mRNA from anaerobic exponential cultures of engineered S. cerevisiae grown on cellobiose or glucose as a single carbon source in biological triplicate. Differences in gene expression between cellobiose and glucose metabolism revealed by RNA deep sequencing indicated that cellobiose metabolism induced mitochondrial activation and reduced amino acid biosynthesis under fermentation conditions. mRNA levels in cellobiose-grown and glucose-grown cells of engineered cellobiose-utilizing Saccharomyces cerevisiae were examined by deep sequencing, in triplicate, using Illumina Genome Analyzer-II. We sequenced 3 samples from cellobiose-grown cells and 3 samples from glucose-grown cells and identified differential expressions in the cellobiose versus glucose fermentations by using mRNA levels of glucose-grown cells as a reference.

Project description:Saccharomyces cerevisiae cannot metabolize non-glucose sugars including cellobiose, xylose, xylodextrins in nature, which are prevalent in plant cell wall. Here, one engineered S. cerevisiae strain, which expresses a cellodextrin transporter gene (cdt-1) and an intracellular β-glucosidase gene (codon-optimized gh1-1) from Neurospora crassa; XYL1 (xylose reductase gene), XYL2 (xylitol dehydrogenase gene), and XKS1 (xylulose kinase gene) from Scheffersomyces stipitis, as well as cdt-2 (coding for cellodextrin transporter 2), gh43-2 (coding for β-xylosidase) and gh43-7 (coding for a xylosyl-xylitol-specific β-xylosidase) from N. crassa, can utilize the above non-glucose sugars. We sequenced mRNA from exponential cultures of the engineered S. cerevisiae grown on glucose, cellobiose, xylose or xylodextrins as a single carbon source in both aerobic and anaerobic conditions in biological triplicate. Differences in gene expression between non-glucose sugar and glucose metabolism revealed by RNA deep sequencing indicated that non-glucose sugar metabolism induced mitochondrial activation and reduced amino acid and protein biosynthesis under fermentation conditions.

Project description:Saccharomyces cerevisiae has been engineered to utilize cellobiose, which are prevalent in plant cell wall, by introducing a cellodextrin transporter gene (cdt-1) and an intracellular β-glucosidase gene (codon-optimized gh1-1) from Neurospora crassa. We previously found that codon-optimization of GH1-1 improved fermentation rates under aerobic and anaerobic conditions. However, we found that the codon-optimized version of the CDT-1 transporter (here denoted OPT for the mRNA) resulted in reduced cellobiose uptake and slower growth in cellobiose by S. cerevisiae relative to the transporter with Neurospora-derived coding sequence (hereafter NC for the mRNA). We performed ribosome profiling and RNA deep sequencing of cells expressing NC and OPT grown at mid-exponential phases, respectively. Differences in ribosome occupancy on NC and OPT transcripts suggested increased rates of translation elongation of the N-terminal sequence of OPT in contrast to NC, which may be responsible for the slow-growth phenotype of cells expressing OPT.

Project description:Cellulose, particularly the major cellulolytic product cellobiose, can induce the production of enzymes associated with deconstruction of lignocellulose in filamentous fungi. However, the detailed mechanisms underlying this biotechnologically important process remain to be disclosed. Here, the proteome response to cellobiose, crystalline cellulose (Avicel), and carbon starvation of a Neurospora crassa triple β-glucosidase mutant were compared using tandem mass tag (TMT)-based proteome quantification. Improved quantification accuracy was achieved with synchronous precursor selection (SPS)-based MS3 technology compared to MS2 using a high resolution tribrid mass spectrometer. Exposure to carbon starvation, cellobiose or Avicel induced the production of cellulase and lytic polysaccharide monooxygenase enzymes in N. crassa, as well as a cellobionic acid transporter, indicating their functional roles in the early adaptation to plant cell wall. In particular, cellobiose specifically induced the production of proteins in the functional categories of protein processing and export as well as cell wall organization. The data presented here integrates the signaling pathway associated with cellobiose transporters CDT-1 and/or CDT-2 with the direct targets of the transcription factors CLR-1, CLR-2, and XLR-1, the unfolded protein response (UPR) mediated by Ire-1/Hac-1, as well as calcium homeostasis and cell wall organization. The cellobiose-dependent response network will be useful for rational strain improvement to facilitate the production of lignocellulases in filamentous fungi and plant biomass-based products.

Project description:The transcription of the cldEFGC gene cluster of Bifidobacterium breve UCC2003 was shown to be induced upon growth on cellodextrins, implicating these genes in the metabolism of these sugars. Phenotypic analysis of a B. breve UCC2003::cldE insertion mutant confirmed that the cld gene cluster is exclusively required for cellodextrin utilization by this bacterium. HPAEC-PAD analysis of medium samples obtained during growth of B. breve UCC2003 on a mixture of cellodextrins revealed its ability to utilize cellobiose, cellotriose, cellotetraose and cellopentaose, with cellotriose representing the preferred substrate. The cldC gene of the cld operon of B. breve UCC2003 was shown to be the first described bifidobacterial β-glucosidase exhibiting hydrolytic activity towards various cellodextrins. In order to investigate differences in gene expression patterns of B. breve UCC2003 when grown on cellobiose or cellodextrins as compared to growth on glucose, DNA microarray experiments were performed. Total RNA was isolated from B. breve UCC2003 cultures grown on cellobiose, cellodextrins, or glucose (see Materials and Methods). The cultures were harvested at the time points that ensured that B. breve UCC2003 was metabolizing cellobiose or cellodextrins as opposed to the residual glucose present in the cellodextrin preparation. Analysis of the DNA microarray data was obtained from two independent biological replicates.

Project description:We engineered Z. mobilis ZM4 to express a recombinant glycosyl hydrolase (GH) from Caulobacter crescentus and subjected it to an adaptation in cellobiose medium. Growth on cellobiose was achieved after a prolonged lag phase in cellobiose medium that induced changes in gene expression and cell composition, including increased expression and secretion of GH. These changes were found to be reversible, i.e. not a genetic adaptation, but could be preserved upon transfer to fresh cellobiose medium. After adaptation to cellobiose, our GH expressing strain was able to convert about 50% of cellobiose to glucose within 24 h and use it for growth and ethanol production. Alternatively, adaptation by growth in sucrose medium also enabled immediate growth of Z. mobilis GH3 on cellobiose. Proteomics analysis of cellobiose- and sucrose-adapted strains revealed upregulation of secretion-, transport-, and outer membrane-related proteins, which may aid secretion of GH into the medium. Changes in the cell envelope may additionally enable entry of cellobiose into the cell periplasm or surface display of GHs.

Project description:Comparison of the Streptococcus pneumoniae D39 wild type in M17 medium+ 0.5 % (w/v) Cellobiose (CM17) compared to M17 medium+ 0.5 % (w/v) Glucose (GM17) hervasted at time point T1 The human pathogen Streptococcus pneumoniae has the ability to use the carbon- and energy source cellobiose due to the presence of a cellobiose-utilizing gene cluster (cel locus) in its genome. This system is regulated by the cellobiose-dependent transcriptional activator CelR, which has been previously shown to contribute to pneumococcal virulence. To get a broader understanding of the response of S. pneumoniae to cellobiose, we compared the pneumococcal transcriptome during growth on glucose as the main carbon source to that with cellobiose as the main carbon source. The expression of various carbon metabolic genes was altered, including a PTS operon (which we here denote as the bgu operon) that has high similarity with the cel locus. In contrast to the cel locus, the bgu operon is conserved in all sequenced strains of S. pneumoniae, indicating an important physiological function in the lifestyle of pneumococci. We next characterized the transcriptional regulation of the bgu operon in more detail. Its expression was increased in the presence of cellobiose, and decreased in the presence of glucose. A novel GntR-type transcriptional regulator (which we here denote as BguR) was shown to act as a transcriptional repressor of the bgu operon and its repressive effect was relieved in the presence of cellobiose. BguR-dependent repression was demonstrated to be mediated by a 20-bp DNA operator site (5M-bM-^@M-^Y-AAAAATGTCTAGACAAATTT-3M-bM-^@M-^Y) present in PbguA as verified by promoter truncation experiments. In conclusion, we have identified a new cellobiose-responsive PTS operon, together with its transcriptional regulator in S. pneumoniae.

Project description:Saccharomyces cerevisiae cannot metabolize xylodextrins in nature. One engineered S. cerevisiae strain, which expresses XYL1 (xylose reductase gene), XYL2 (xylitol dehydrogenase gene), and XKS1 (xylulose kinase gene) from Scheffersomyces stipitis, and cdt-2 (coding for cellodextrin transporter 2), gh43-2 (coding for β-xylosidase) and gh43-7 (coding for a xylosyl-xylitol-specific β-xylosidase) from N. crassa, can utilize xylodextrins in aerobic condtions but not anaerobic conditions. We sequenced mRNA from anaerobically fed-batch cultures of the engineered S. cerevisiae grown on xylodextrins with or without the continuous feeding of xylose in biological duplicate. Dynamic changes of gene expression during xylose feeding experiment revealed by RNA deep sequencing indicated that xylose helps anaerobically xylodextrin-grown cells to recover mithondrial function thereby resuming xylodextrin consumption. Furthermore, different portions of genes involved in ribosome biogenesis showed either decreased or increased transcriptions. The underlying mechanism remains to be elucidated.

Project description:pBL1 is a Lactococcus lactis theta-replicating 10.9-kbp plasmid that encodes the synthetic machinery of the bacteriocin Lcn972. In this work, the transcriptomes of exponentially growing L. lactis with and without pBL1 were compared. A discrete response was observed with a total of ten genes showing significantly changed expression. Up-regulation of the lactococcal oligopeptide uptake system (opp) was observed, likely linked to a higher nitrogen demand required for Lcn972 biosynthesis. Striking, celB coding for the membrane porter IIC of the cellobiose-PTS and the upstream gene llmg0186 were down-regulated. Growth profiles for L. lactis strains MG1363, MG1363/pBL1 and MG1363ΔcelB grown in CDM-cellobiose confirmed slower growth of pBL1 and ΔcelB while no differences were scored on glucose. The presence of pBL1 shifted the fermentation products towards a mixed acid profile and promoted substantial changes in intracellular pool sizes for glycolytic intermediates in cellobiose-growing cells as determined by HPLC and NMR. Overall, these data support the genetic evidence of a constriction in cellobiose uptake. Notably, several cell wall precursors accumulated, while other UDP-activated sugars pools were lower, which could reflect rerouting of precursors towards the production of structural or storage polysaccharides. Moreover, slow cellobiose-growing cells and those lacking celB were more tolerant to Lcn972 than cellobiose adapted cells. Thus, down-regulation of celB could help to build-up a response against the antimicrobial activity of Lcn972 enhancing self-immunity of the producer cells.
