Project description:Investigation of whole genome gene expression level changes in Ashbya gossypii VTT D-101398 secreting recombinant endoglucanase I (EGI) from Trichoderma ressei (Ribeiro et al. 2010 - PMID: 20422178), compared to the its corresponding empty vector control strain and to conditions where VTT D-101398 EGI secreting cultures were treated with dithiothreitol (DTT). Background: Ashbya gossypii is a filamentous Saccharomycete used for the industrial production of riboflavin that has been recently explored as a host system for recombinant protein production. To gain insight into the protein secretory pathway of this biotechnologically relevant fungus, we undertook genome-wide analyses to explore its secretome and its transcriptional responses to protein secretion stress. Results: A computational pipeline was used to predict the inventory of proteins putatively secreted by A. gossypii via the general secretory pathway. The proteins actually secreted by this fungus into the supernatants of submerged cultures in minimal and rich medium were mapped by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis, revealing that most of the A. gossypii secreted proteins have an isoelectric point between 4 and 6, and a molecular mass above 25 kDa. These analyses together indicated that 1-4% of A. gossypii proteins are likely to be secreted, of which less than 33% are putative hydrolases. Furthermore, transcriptomic analyses carried out in A. gossypii cells under recombinant protein secretion conditions and dithiothreitol-induced secretion stress unexpectedly revealed that a conventional unfolded protein response (UPR) was not activated in any of the conditions, as the expression levels of several well-known UPR target genes (e.g. IRE1, KAR2, HAC1 and PDI1 homologs) remained unaffected. However, several other genes involved in protein unfolding, endoplasmatic reticulum-associated degradation, proteolysis, vesicle trafficking, vacuolar protein sorting, secretion and mRNA degradation were up-regulated by dithiothreitol-induced secretion stress. Conversely, the transcription of several genes encoding secretory proteins, such as components of the glycosylation pathway, was severely repressed by dithiothreitol Conclusions: This study provides the first insights into the secretion stress response of A. gossypii, as well as a basic understanding of its protein secretion potential, which is more similar to that of yeast than to that of other filamentous fungi. Contrary to what has been widely described for yeast and fungi, a conventional UPR was not observed in A. gossypii, but alternative protein quality control mechanisms enabled it to cope with secretion stress. These data will help provide strategies for improving heterologous protein secretion in A. gossypii.

Project description:Protein secretion is an essential process in cell biology. The conventional secretion pathway is well known, and involves proteins with a signal sequence being directed into the endoplasmic reticulum. Once in the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum, proteins are trafficked through the Golgi and remain separate from the cytosol throughout their journey to the outside of the cell. More recently, proteins without a signal sequence have been found outside the cell. These proteins are secreted unconventionally, and avoid the ER-Golgi route. For both pathways, some aspects remain unclear, particularly surrounding the regulation of protein secretion. Galectin-3, an unconventionally secreted protein, was used here to investigate both conventional and unconventional protein secretion. The unconventional protein secretion of galectin-3 is poorly understood. To address this, genetic manipulation of galectin-3 was used to gain insights into the mechanism of galectin-3 secretion. It was found that galectin-3 does not require unfolding or binding to cell surface glycoproteins to be secreted. Galectin-3 was also used to assess protein secretion using a genome-wide CRISPR screen. As galectin‑3 binds to cell surface glycoproteins, galectin-3 on the cell surface was used to assess secretion of these glycoproteins. Hits were validated by a glycoprotein secretion assay. Using this pipeline, 93 hits were identified as involved in protein secretion, of which 51 were novel hits not previously associated with protein secretion. Many of the hits identified also resulted in a phenotype of altered Golgi morphology, and five of these were investigated further. Two novel hits that localised to the Golgi were identified, TMEM220 and GPR161. GPR161 likely mediates its effect on Golgi morphology by its interaction with golgin A5. This thesis presents new insights into both conventional and unconventional protein secretion. Insights into the mechanism for galaectin-3 secretion were revealed. A novel Golgi-localised regulator of secretion, GRP161, was identified, with a mechanism for action suggested. Importantly, the list of 51 novel genes identified will serve as a useful resource for other researchers investigating protein secretion.
