Pseudohyphal differentiation in Komagataella phaffii: investigating the FLO gene family (FAIRE-seq)

Project description:The protein production host Komagataella phaffii has possess the ability to differentiate into pseudohyphal form when cultivated at slow growth rates (µ=0.05 h-1) in glucose-limited chemostats. In this study, we investigated the K. phaffii FLO gene family in the context of pseudohyphae formation. Transcriptional analysis helped us identify 3 possible responsible genes, FLO11, FLO400 and FLO5-1, all of which are under control of Flo8, a transcription factor whose disruption prevents pseudohyphae formation. Knocking out FLO11 revealed that this is not the sole protein responsible for this phenotype. Strikingly, the expression of FLO400 and FLO5-1 was negatively correlated with pseudohyphae formation, and shown to be under epigenetic control by FAIRE-Seq analysis. Knock outs of these two genes completely inhibited the appearance of pseudohyphal cells and prevented the expression of FLO11. Even though the mechanism is unclear at present, we propose that in K. phaffii Flo400 and/or Flo5-1 act as upstream signals that lead to the induction of FLO11 expression upon severe glucose limitation in chemostats at slow growth rate, and that the expression of FLO400 and FLO5-1 is controlled by epigenetic silencing, which acts independently from the general activation of FLO gene expression by the transcriptional regulator Flo8.
