Project description:The vanillin tolerance Saccharomyces cerevisiae was screened and compared intracellular ergosterol levels with several laboratory yeast strains, to study potential relationship between ergosterol contents and vanillin tolerance. S. cerevisiae NBRC1950 was selected as a vanillin tolerant strain. Its ergosterol contents were higher than those of laboratory strains. The results of DNA microarray and quantitative RT-PCR analysis showed that 5 genes involved in ergosterol biosynthesis (ERG28, HMG1, MCR1, ERG5 and ERG7) were up-regulated in NBRC 1950 compared with strain X2180, suggested that high expressions of genes involved in ergosterol biosynthesis may cause for the high ergosterol content in strain NBRC 1950. S. cerevisiae HX strain, which was a high ergosterol content strain derived from X2180, became more tolerant to vanillin compared with the parental strain. It is suggested that high ergosterol contents may be in part responsible for vanillin tolerance. These findings provide a biotechnological basis for the molecular engineering of S. cerevisiae with increased tolerance to vanillin.

Experiment Overall Design: Total RNA was extracted from cells in YPD media with shakin by using a hot phenol method. Poly(A)+ RNA was enriched from total RNA by using an Oligotex dT30 (Super) mRNA purification kit (Takara Bio, Ohtsu, Japan). cDNA synthesis, cRNA synthesis, and labeling were performed according to the Affymetrix userâs manual (Affymetrix, Santa Clara, USA). Biotinyated cRNA was fragmented and then used as a probe.Affimetrix Yeast Genome 2.0 arrays (Affymetrix) were used as DNA microarrays. All experiments were done in duplicate independently. Statistical analysis after data acquisition and normalization of expression data were performed using GeneSpring ver.7.3.1 (Agilent Technologies, Palo Alto, CA, USA) based on the gene expression data from two independent experiments. After data transformation to GeneSpring, per-chip normalization to the 50th percentile was performed, and per-gene normalization to the specific samples (X2180 samples) was applied to the per-chip normalized data. Quality control was performed based on experimental confidence levels (each condition in which all samples were present or marginal) and on statistical confidence levels (condition in which P-value of T-test comparisons between X2180 and NBRC 1950 was less than 0.05).

Project description:Purpose: The purpose of this study is to define the mechanism of antifungal action of the vanillin derivative, o-vanillin, against Cryptococcus neoformans Methods: mRNA profiles of C. neoformasn cells cultured with or without o-vanillin were generated by RNA-Seq, using Illumina GAIIx. The sequence reads that passed quality filters were mapped to reference genome and the normalized RPKM values were calculated by CLC Genomics Workbench. Results: o-vanillin significantly altered global transcript profiles, induces oxidative stress, and interferes mitochondrial functions in C. neoformans. Conclusions: o-vanillin can be considered as the effective antifungal drug candidate. mRNA profiles of the cells grown in the presence or absence of o-vanillin were generated by RNA-Seq using Illumina GAIIx.

Project description:Aromatic compounds are an important renewable source of commodity chemicals traditionally produced from fossil fuels. Aromatics derived from plant lignin can potentially be converted into commodity chemicals through depolymerization followed by microbial funneling of monomers and low molecular weight oligomers. This study investigates the catabolism of the b-5 linked aromatic dimer dehydrodiconiferyl alcohol (DC-A) by the bacterium Novosphingobium aromaticivorans. We used genome wide screens to identify candidate genes involved in DC-A catabolism. Subsequent in vivo and in vitro analyses of these candidates elucidated a catabolic pathway composed of four required gene products and several partially redundant dehydrogenases that convert DC-A to aromatic monomers that can be funneled into the central aromatic metabolic pathway of N. aromaticivorans. Specifically, a newly identified γ-formaldehyde lyase, PcfL, opens the phenylcoumaran ring to form a stilbene and formaldehyde. A lignostilbene dioxygenase, LsdD, then cleaves the stilbene to generate the aromatic monomers, vanillin and 5-formylferulate (5-FF). We also show that an aldehyde dehydrogenase FerD oxidizes 5-FF before it is decarboxylated by LigW, yielding ferulic acid. We found that some enzymes involved in b-5 catabolism pathway can act on multiple substrates and that some steps in the pathway can be mediated by multiple enzymes, providing new insights into the robust flexibility of aromatic catabolism in N. aromaticivorans. We performed a comparative genomic analysis to predict that key enzymes in the newly discovered b-5 aromatic catabolic pathway are common among Sphingomonads.
