Ponnusamy V, Sankaranarayanan M. Targeted gene manipulation of Leloir pathway genes for the constitutive expression of β-galactosidase and its transgalactosylation product galacto-oligosaccharides from Kluyveromyces lactis GG799 and knockout strains. Enzyme Microb Technol 2023; 169:110263. [PMID: 37311284 DOI: 10.1016/j.enzmictec.2023.110263] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/06/2023] [Revised: 05/19/2023] [Accepted: 05/20/2023] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
Galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS) are used as prebiotic ingredients in various food and pharmaceutical industry. At present, production of GOS involves the enzymatic transformation of lactose by transgalactosylation using β-galactosidase. The yeast Kluyveromyces lactis can utilize lactose as its carbon and energy source. In this species lactose is hydrolyzed by an intracellular β-galactosidase (EC 3.2.1.23) which is induced by its substrate and related compounds like galactose. The molecular details of gene regulation in kluyveromyces lactis, we have used multiple knockout approaches to study the constitutive expression by which galactose induces β-galactosidase. The present study involved carrying out to a method of enhancing the constitutive expression of β-galactosidase through galactose induction and its trans-galactosylation reaction for the production of galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS) in Kluyveromyces lactis (K. Lactis) by applying a knockout based approach on Leloir pathway genes based on fusion-overlap extension polymerase chain reaction and transformation into its genome. The k.lactis strain subjected to Leloir pathway genes knockout, resulted in the accumulation of galactose intracellularly and this internal galactose acts as an inducer of galactose regulon for constitutive expression of β-galactosidase at early stationary phase was due to the positive regulatory function of mutant gal1p, gal7p and both. These resulted strains used for trans-galactosylation of lactose by β - galactosidase is characterized for the production of galacto-oligosaccharides. Galactose-induced constitutive expression of β-galactosidase during the early stationary phase of knockout strains was analysed qualitatively & quantitatively. The activity of β-galactosidase of wild type, gal1z, gal7k and gal1z & gal7k strains were 7, 8, 9 and 11 U/ml respectively using high cell density cultivation medium. Based on these expression differences in β-galactosidase, the trans-galactosylation reaction for GOS production and percentage yield of GOS were compared at 25% w/v of lactose. The percentage yield of GOS production of wild type, Δgal1z Lac4+, Δgal7k Lac4++ and Δgal1z Δgal7k Lac4+++mutants strains were 6.3, 13, 17 and 22 U/ml, respectively. Therefore, we propose that the availability of galactose can be used for constitutive over expression of β - galactosidase in Leloir pathway engineering applications and also for GOS production. Further, increased expression of β - galactosidases can be used in dairy industry by-products like whey to produce added value products such as galacto-oligosaccharides.

The Glycoside Hydrolase Family 35 β-galactosidase from Trichoderma reesei debranches xyloglucan oligosaccharides from tamarind and jatobá. Biochimie 2023; 211:16-24. [PMID: 36828153 DOI: 10.1016/j.biochi.2023.02.009] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/07/2022] [Revised: 02/16/2023] [Accepted: 02/17/2023] [Indexed: 02/24/2023]
Abstract
Trichoderma reesei (anamorph Hypocrea jecorina) produces an extracellular beta-galactosidase from Glycoside Hydrolase Family 35 (TrBga1). Hydrolysis of xyloglucan oligosaccharides (XGOs) by TrBga1 has been studied by hydrolysis profile analysis of both tamarind (Tamarindus indica) and jatobá (Hymenaea courbaril) seed storage xyloglucans using PACE and MALDI-ToF-MS for separation, quantification and identification of the hydrolysis products. The TrBga1 substrate preference for galactosylated oligosaccharides from both the XXXG- and XXXXG-series of jatobá xyloglucan showed that the doubly galactosylated oligosaccharides were the first to be hydrolyzed. Furthermore, the TrBga1 showed more efficient hydrolysis against non-reducing end dexylosylated oligosaccharides (GLXG/GXLG and GLLG). This preference may play a key role in xyloglucan degradation, since galactosyl removal alleviates steric hindrance for other enzymes in the xyloglucanolytic complex resulting in complete xyloglucan mobilization. Indeed, mixtures of TrBga1 with the α-xylosidase from Escherichia coli (YicI), which shows a preference towards non-galactosylated xyloglucan oligosaccharides, reveals efficient depolymerization when either enzyme is applied first. This understanding of the synergistic depolymerization contributes to the knowledge of plant cell wall structure, and reveals possible evolutionary mechanisms directing the preferences of debranching enzymes acting on xyloglucan oligosaccharides.

Abstract
Mannosylerythritol lipids (MELs) are biosurfactants with excellent biochemical properties and a wide range of potential applications. However, high production costs, low productivity and unsatisfactory scale-up production have hampered commercial adoption. Herein, we report for the first time the β-galactosidase production by Moesziomyces spp. from different sugars (D-galactose, D-glucose and D-lactose), with D-galactose being the best β-galactosidase inducer, with 11.2 and 63.1 IU/mgbiomass, for Moesziomyces aphidis 5535 T and Moesziomyces antarcticus 5048 T, respectively. The production of this enzyme allows to break down D-lactose and thus to produce MEL directly from D-lactose or cheese whey (a cheese industry by-product). Remarkably, when CW was used as sole media component (carbon and mineral source), in combination with waste frying oil, MEL productivities were very close (1.40 and 1.31 gMEL/L/day) to the ones obtained with optimized medium containing yeast extract (1.92 and 1.50 gMEL/gsusbtrate), both for M. antarcticus and M. aphidis. The low-cost, facile and efficient process which generates large amounts of MELs potentiates its industrialization.

Abstract
The filamentous fungus T. reeseiis today a paradigm for the commercial scale production of different plant cell wall degrading enzymes mainly cellulases and hemicellulases. Its enzymes have a long history of safe use in industry and well established applications are found within the pulp, paper, food, feed or textile processing industries. However, when these enzymes are to be used for the saccharification of cellulosic plant biomass to simple sugars which can be further converted to biofuels or other biorefinery products, and thus compete with chemicals produced from fossil sources, additional efforts are needed to reduce costs and maximize yield and efficiency of the produced enzyme mixtures. One approach to this end is the use of genetic engineering to manipulate the biochemical and regulatory pathways that operate during enzyme production and control enzyme yield. This review aims at a description of the state of art in this area.

Abstract
Background Cellulase and hemicellulase genes in the fungus Trichoderma reesei are repressed by glucose and induced by lactose. Regulation of the cellulase genes is mediated by the repressor CRE1 and the activator XYR1. T. reesei strain Rut-C30 is a hypercellulolytic mutant, obtained from the natural strain QM6a, that has a truncated version of the catabolite repressor gene, cre1. It has been previously shown that bacterial mutants lacking phosphoglucose isomerase (PGI) produce more nucleotide precursors and amino acids. PGI catalyzes the second step of glycolysis, the formation of fructose-6-P from glucose-6-P. Results We deleted the gene pgi1, encoding PGI, in the T. reesei strain Rut-C30 and we introduced the cre1 gene in a Δpgi1 mutant. Both Δpgi1 and cre1+Δpgi1 mutants showed a pellet-like and growth as well as morphological alterations compared with Rut-C30. None of the mutants grew in media with fructose, galactose, xylose, glycerol or lactose but they grew in media with glucose, with fructose and glucose, with galactose and fructose or with lactose and fructose. No growth was observed in media with xylose and glucose. On glucose, Δpgi1 and cre1+Δpgi1 mutants showed higher cellulase activity than Rut-C30 and QM6a, respectively. But in media with lactose, none of the mutants improved the production of the reference strains. The increase in the activity did not correlate with the expression of mRNA of the xylanase regulator gene, xyr1. Δpgi1 mutants were also affected in the extracellular β-galactosidase activity. Levels of mRNA of the glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase did not increase in Δpgi1 during growth on glucose. Conclusions The ability to grow in media with glucose as the sole carbon source indicated that Trichoderma Δpgi1 mutants were able to use the pentose phosphate pathway. But, they did not increase the expression of gpdh. Morphological characteristics were the result of the pgi1 deletion. Deletion of pgi1 in Rut-C30 increased cellulase production, but only under repressing conditions. This increase resulted partly from the deletion itself and partly from a genetic interaction with the cre1-1 mutation. The lower cellulase activity of these mutants in media with lactose could be attributed to a reduced ability to hydrolyse this sugar but not to an effect on the expression of xyr1.

Abstract
Hypocrea jecorina (= Trichoderma reesei) is the main industrial source of cellulases and hemicellulases used to depolymerise plant biomass to simple sugars that are converted to chemical intermediates and biofuels, such as ethanol. Cellulases are formed adaptively, and several positive (XYR1, ACE2, HAP2/3/5) and negative (ACE1, CRE1) components involved in this regulation are now known. In addition, its complete genome sequence has been recently published, thus making the organism susceptible to targeted improvement by metabolic engineering. In this review, we summarise current knowledge about how cellulase biosynthesis is regulated, and outline recent approaches and suitable strategies for facilitating the targeted improvement of cellulase production by genetic engineering.

Abstract
This study reports the vital regulatory influence of Xyr1 (xylanase regulator 1) on the transcription of hydrolytic enzyme-encoding genes and hydrolase formation on lactose in Hypocrea jecorina. While the transcription of the xyr1 gene itself is achieved by release of carbon catabolite repression, the transcript formation of xyn1 (xylanase 1) is regulated by an additional induction mechanism mediated by lactose. Xyr1 has an important impact on lactose metabolism by directly activating xyl1 (xylose reductase 1) transcription and indirectly influencing transcription of bga1 (beta-galactosidase 1). The latter is achieved by regulating the conversion of D-galactose to the inducing carbon source galactitol.

Abstract
The Saccharomyces cerevisiae galactokinase ScGal1, a key enzyme for D-galactose metabolism, catalyzes the conversion of D-galactose to D-galactose 1-phosphate, whereas its catalytically inactive paralogue, ScGal3, activates the transcription of the GAL pathway genes. In Kluyveromyces lactis the transcriptional inducer function and the galactokinase activity are encoded by a single bifunctional KlGal1. Here, we investigated the cellular function of the single galactokinase GAL1 in the multicellular ascomycete Hypocrea jecorina (=Trichoderma reesei) in the induction of the gal genes and of the galactokinase-dependent induction of the cellulase genes by lactose (1,4-O-beta-D-galactopyranosyl-D-glucose). A comparison of the transcriptional response of a strain deleted in the gal1 gene (no putative transcriptional inducer and no galactokinase activity), a strain expressing a catalytically inactive GAL1 version (no galactokinase activity but a putative inducer function), and a strain expressing the Escherichia coli galK (no putative transcriptional inducer but galactokinase activity) showed that, in contrast to the two yeasts, both the GAL1 protein and the galactokinase activity are fully dispensable for induction of the Leloir pathway gene gal7 by D-galactose and that only the galactokinase activity is required for cellulase induction by lactose. The data document a fundamental difference in the mechanisms by which yeasts and multicellular fungi respond to the presence of D-galactose, showing that the Gal1/Gal3-Gal4-Gal80-dependent regulatory circuit does not operate in multicellular fungi.
