Abstract
Four types of antifungal drugs are available that include inhibitors of ergosterol synthesis, of fungal RNA biosynthesis, and of cell wall biosynthesis as well as physiochemical regulators of fungal membrane sterols. Increasing resistance to antifungal drugs can severely limit treatment options of fungal nail infections, vaginal candidiasis, ringworm, blastomycosis, histoplasmosis, and Candida infections of the mouth, throat, and esophagus, among other infections. Development of strategies focused on new fungicides can effectively help tackle troublesome fungal diseases. The virulence and optimal growth of fungi depend on various extracellular secreted factors, among which proteases, such as serine proteases, are of particular interest. A specific extracellular proteolytic system enables fungi to survive and penetrate the tissues. Given the role of fungal proteases in infection, any molecule capable of selectively and specifically inhibiting their activity can lead to the development of potential drugs. Owing to their specific mode of action, fungal protease inhibitors can avoid fungal resistance observed with currently available treatments. Although fungal secreted proteases have been extensively studied as potential virulence factors, our understanding of the substrate specificity of such proteases remains poor. In this review, we summarize the recent advances in the design and development of specific serine protease inhibitors and provide a brief history of the compounds that inhibit fungal serine protease activity.

Korpys-Woźniak P, Celińska E. Global transcriptome profiling reveals genes responding to overproduction of a small secretory, a high cysteine- and a high glycosylation-bearing protein in Yarrowia lipolytica. ACTA ACUST UNITED AC 2021; 31:e00646. [PMID: 34189064 PMCID: PMC8220174 DOI: 10.1016/j.btre.2021.e00646] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/02/2021] [Revised: 06/08/2021] [Accepted: 06/09/2021] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
Secretion of a protein results in > 10-fold higher titer compared to its retention. Overproduction of rs-Prots induces oxidative stress and detoxification response. Excessive vacuolar protein degradation limits rs-Prot production in Y. lipolytica. Non-classical export protein NCE102 is upregulated upon rs-Prot overloading. Downregulation of cyclin CLN1 marks growth arrest in G1 under rs-Prot synthesis.
Investigation of the yeast cell’s response to recombinant secretory protein (rs-Prot) overproduction is relevant for both basic and applied research. Imbalance, overloading or stress within this process impacts the whole cell. In the present study, by using steady-state cultures and transcriptomics, we investigated the cellular response of Yarrowia lipolytica challenged with high-level expression of genes encoding proteins with significantly different biochemical characteristics: a small protein retained within the cell i) or secreted ii), a medium size secretory protein with a high number of disulfide bonds iii), or glycosylation sites iv). Extensive analysis of omics data, supported by careful manual curation, led to some anticipated observations on oxidative and unfolded protein stress (CTT1, PXMP2/4, HAC1), glycosylation (ALGs, KTRs, MNTs, MNNs), folding and translocation (SSAs, SSEs) but also generated new exciting knowledge on non-conventional protein secretion (NCE102), transcriptional regulators (FLO11, MHY1, D01353 g, RSFA, E23925g or MAF1), vacuolar proteolysis targets in Y. lipolytica (ATGs, VPSs, HSE1, PRB1, PRC1, PEP4) or growth arrest (CLN1) upon rs-Prots overproduction.

Abstract
Yeasts are efficient cell factories and are commonly used for the production of recombinant proteins for biopharmaceutical and industrial purposes. For such products high levels of correctly folded proteins are needed, which sometimes requires improvement and engineering of the expression system. The article summarizes major breakthroughs that led to the efficient use of yeasts as production platforms and reviews bottlenecks occurring during protein production. Special focus is given to the metabolic impact of protein production. Furthermore, strategies that were shown to enhance secretion of recombinant proteins in different yeast species are presented.

Abstract
SIGNIFICANCE Recombinant protein production has developed into a huge market with enormous positive implications for human health and for the future direction of a biobased economy. Limitations in the economic and technical feasibility of production processes are often related to bottlenecks of in vivo protein folding. RECENT ADVANCES Based on cell biological knowledge, some major bottlenecks have been overcome by the overexpression of molecular chaperones and other folding related proteins, or by the deletion of deleterious pathways that may lead to misfolding, mistargeting, or degradation. CRITICAL ISSUES While important success could be achieved by this strategy, the list of reported unsuccessful cases is disappointingly long and obviously dependent on the recombinant protein to be produced. Singular engineering of protein folding steps may not lead to desired results if the pathway suffers from several limitations. In particular, the connection between folding quality control and proteolytic degradation needs further attention. FUTURE DIRECTIONS Based on recent understanding that multiple steps in the folding and secretion pathways limit productivity, synergistic combinations of the cell engineering approaches mentioned earlier need to be explored. In addition, systems biology-based whole cell analysis that also takes energy and redox metabolism into consideration will broaden the knowledge base for future rational engineering strategies.

Abstract
Cellulase plays an important role in modern industry and holds great potential in biofuel production. Many different types of organisms produce cellulase, which go through secretory pathways to reach the extracellular space, where enzymatic reactions take place. Secretory pathways in various cells have been the focus of many research fields; however, there are few studies on secretory pathways of cellulases in the literature. It is therefore necessary and important to review the current knowledge on the secretory pathways of cellulases. In this mini-review, we address the subcellular locations of cellulases in different organisms, discuss the secretory pathways of cellulases in different organisms, and examine the secretory mechanisms of cellulases. These sections start with a description of general secreted proteins, advance to the situation of cellulases, and end with the knowledge of cellulases, as documented in UniProt Knowledgebase (UniProtKB). Finally, gaps in existing knowledge are highlighted, which may shed light on future studies for biofuel engineering.

Abstract
Calcium signaling is a key regulator of pathways important in tumor progression, such as proliferation and apoptosis. Most studies assessing altered calcium homeostasis in cancer cells have focused on alterations mediated through changes in cytoplasmic free calcium levels. Here, we show that basal-like breast cancers are characterized by an alteration in the secretory pathway calcium ATPase 1 (SPCA1), a calcium pump localized to the Golgi. Inhibition of SPCA1 in MDA-MB-231 cells produced pronounced changes in cell proliferation and morphology in three-dimensional culture, without alterations in sensitivity to endoplasmic reticulum stress induction or changes in global calcium signaling. Instead, the effects of SPCA1 inhibition in MDA-MB-231 cells reside in altered regulation of calcium-dependent enzymes located in the secretory pathway, such as proprotein convertases. Inhibition of SPCA1 produced a pronounced alteration in the processing of insulin-like growth factor receptor (IGF1R), with significantly reduced levels of functional IGF1Rβ and accumulation of the inactive trans-Golgi network pro-IGF1R form. These studies identify for the first time a calcium transporter associated with the basal-like breast cancer subtype. The pronounced effects of SPCA1 inhibition on the processing of IGF1R in MDA-MB-231 cells independent of alterations in global calcium signaling also demonstrate that some calcium transporters can regulate the processing of proteins important in tumor progression without major alterations in cytosolic calcium signaling. Inhibitors of SPCA1 may offer an alternative strategy to direct inhibitors of IGF1R and attenuate the processing of other proprotein convertase substrates important in basal breast cancers.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Kexin-like proteinases are a subfamily of the subtilisin-like serine proteinases with multiple regulatory functions in eukaryotes. In the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae the Kex2 protein is biochemically well investigated, however, with the exception of a few well known proteins such as the alpha-pheromone precursors, killer toxin precursors and aspartic proteinase propeptides, very few substrates are known. Fungal kex2 deletion mutants display pleiotropic phenotypes that are thought to result from the failure to proteolytically activate such substrates. RESULTS In this study we have aimed at providing an improved assembly of Kex2 target proteins to explain the phenotypes observed in fungal kex2 deletion mutants by in vitro digestion of recombinant substrates from Candida albicans and C. glabrata. We identified CaEce1, CA0365, one member of the Pry protein family and CaOps4-homolog proteins as novel Kex2 substrates. CONCLUSION Statistical analysis of the cleavage sites revealed extended subsite recognition of negatively charged residues in the P1', P2' and P4' positions, which is also reflected in construction of the respective binding pockets in the ScKex2 enzyme. Additionally, we provide evidence for the existence of structural constrains in potential substrates prohibiting proteolysis. Furthermore, by using purified Kex2 proteinases from S. cerevisiae, P. pastoris, C. albicans and C. glabrata, we show that while the substrate specificity is generally conserved between organisms, the proteinases are still distinct from each other and are likely to have additional unique substrate recognition.

Abstract
A gene homologous to Saccharomyces cerevisiae PMR1 has been cloned in the methylotrophic yeast Pichia pastoris. The entire P. pastoris PMR1 gene (PpPMR1) codes a protein of 924 amino acids. Sequence analysis of the PpPMR1 cDNA and the genomic DNA revealed that there is no intron in the coding region. The putative gene product contains all of the conserved regions observed in P-type ATPases and exhibits 66.2%, 60.3% and 50.6% identity to Pichia angusta (Hansenula polymorpha), Saccharomyces cerevisiae PMR1 and human ATP2C1 gene products, respectively. A pmr1 null mutant strain of P. pastoris exhibited growth defects in media with the addition of EGTA, but with supplementation of Ca2+ to a calcium-deficient media reversed the growth defects of the mutant strain. Manganese reversed the growth defects of the mutant strain; however, the cell growth was not as profound as the Ca2+ -supplemented media. The results demonstrated that the P. pastoris gene encodes the functional homologue of the S. cerevisiae PMR1 gene product, a P-type Ca2+/Mn2+ -ATPase. The DNA sequence of the P. pastoris PMR1 gene has been submitted to GenBank under Accession No. DQ239958.

Abstract
The cell surface of Candida albicans is the immediate point of contact with the host. The outer layer of the cell wall is enriched in highly glycosylated mannoproteins that are implicated in many aspects of the host-fungus interaction. Glycosylation of cell wall proteins is initiated in the endoplasmic reticulum and then elaborated in the Golgi as the protein passes through the secretory pathway. Golgi-bound mannosyltransferases require Mn(2+) as an essential cofactor. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the P-type ATPase Pmr1p transports Ca(2+) and Mn(2+) ions into the Golgi. To determine the effect of a gross defect in glycosylation on host-fungus interactions of C. albicans, we disrupted the PMR1 homolog, CaPMR1. This mutation would simultaneously inhibit many Golgi-located, Mn(2+)-dependent mannosyltransferases. The Capmr1Delta null mutant was viable in vitro and had no growth defect even on media containing low Ca(2+)/Mn(2+) ion concentrations. However, cells grown in these media progressively lost viability upon entering stationary phase. Phosphomannan was almost completely absent, and O-mannan was severely truncated in the null mutant. A defect in N-linked outer chain glycosylation was also apparent, demonstrated by the underglycosylation of surface acid phosphatase. Consistent with the glycosylation defect, the null mutant had a weakened cell wall, exemplified by hypersensitivity to Calcofluor white, Congo red, and hygromycin B and constitutive activation of the cell integrity pathway. In a murine model of systemic infection, the null mutant was severely attenuated in virulence. These results demonstrate the importance of glycosylation for cell wall structure and virulence of C. albicans.

Abstract
The Kluyveromyces lactis KlPMR1 gene is the functional homologue of Saccharomyces cerevisiae PMR1 which encodes a Ca(2+)-ATPase localized in the Golgi apparatus. We studied the effects of KlPMR1 inactivation on the glycosylation and secretion of native and heterologous proteins in K. lactis. We used acid phosphatase, recombinant human serum albumin and alpha-glucoamylase from Arxula adeninivorans as reporter proteins. The Klpmr1Delta strain showed enhanced secretion of the heterologous proteins analyzed; the improved rHSA production did not result from enhanced transcription but rather involved increased translation and/or secretion efficiency. The growth rate of mutant cells resulted slower as compared to that of wild-type strain. The addition of 10mM calcium to the culture medium, however, not only completely relieved the growth defect of the mutant cells but also improved the rate of heterologous proteins production. Moreover, the addition of this ion in the culture medium of K. lactis did not suppress the glycosylation defects; this is an important difference with respect to S. cerevisiae where the glycosylation is partially restored by Ca(2+) addition. The Klpmr1Delta strain as a host offers thus an additional advantage for those cases requiring that the produced recombinant protein would not result hyperglycosylated.

Abstract
The production of heterologous proteins is a research field of high interest, with both academic and commercial applications. Yeasts offer a number of advantages as host systems, and, among them, Yarrowia lipolytica appears as one of the most attractive. This non-conventional dimorphic yeast exhibits a remarkable regularity of performance in the efficient secretion of various heterologous proteins. This review presents the main characteristics of Y. lipolytica, and the genetic and molecular tools available in this yeast. A particular emphasis is given to newly developed tools such as efficient promoters, a non-homologous integration method, and an amplification system using defective selection markers. A table recapitulates the 42 heterologous proteins produced until now in Y. lipolytica. A few relevant examples are exposed in more detail, in order to illustrate some peculiar points of the Y. lipolytica physiology, and to offer a comparison with other production systems. This amount of data demonstrates the global reliability and versatility of Y. lipolytica as a host for heterologous production.

Abstract
The analysis of the Schizosaccharomyces pombe genome revealed the presence of 14 putative P-type ATPases. The clustering of ATPases resembles that of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, indicating that the main classes of pumps were already present before the split of the Archiascomycetes from the other Ascomycota. The overall amino acid identity between fission and budding yeast P-type ATPases is generally low (30-50%). This is similar to the fungus-plant and fungus-animal comparisons, suggesting that fungal ATPases underwent an extensive process of diversification. Unlike Sac. cerevisiae, fission yeast lacks Na(+)-ATPases, has a single heavy-metal ATPase and three ATPases of unknown specificity. The observed divergence within these fungi might reflect physiological differences, including adaptation to environmental stresses.

Abstract
The discovery and biochemical characterization of the secretory pathway Ca(2+)-ATPase, PMR1, in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, has paved the way for identification of PMR1 homologues in many species including rat, Caenorhabditis elegans, and Homo sapiens. In yeast, PMR1 has been shown to function as a high affinity Ca(2+)/Mn(2+) pump and has been localized to the Golgi compartment where it is important for protein sorting, processing, and glycosylation. However, little is known about PMR1 homologues in higher organisms. Loss of one functional allele of the human gene, hSPCA1, has been linked to Hailey-Hailey disease, characterized by skin ulceration and improper keratinocyte adhesion. We demonstrate that expression of hSPCA1 in yeast fully complements pmr1 phenotypes of hypersensitivity to Ca(2+) chelators and Mn(2+) toxicity. Similar to PMR1, epitope-tagged hSPCA1 also resides in the Golgi when expressed in yeast or in chinese hamster ovary cells. (45)Ca(2+) transport by hSPCA1 into isolated yeast Golgi vesicles shows an apparent Ca(2+) affinity of 0.26 microm, is inhibitable by Mn(2+), but is thapsigargin-insensitive. In contrast, heterologous expression of vertebrate sarcoplasmic reticulum and plasma membrane Ca(2+)-ATPases in yeast complement the Ca(2+)- but not Mn(2+)-related phenotypes of the pmr1-null strain, suggesting that high affinity Mn(2+) transport is a unique feature of the secretory pathway Ca(2+)-ATPases.

Abstract
The pmrA gene, a yeast PMR1 homologue, was isolated from Aspergillus niger. Sequence analysis of the pmrA cDNA and the genomic DNA revealed that two introns exist in the coding region, and that an open reading frame in the cDNA encodes a polypeptide of 1056 amino acids containing all the conserved regions present in P-type Ca2+-ATPases. The predicted pmrA protein exhibited a high degree of sequence similarity to the Pmr1 proteins from yeasts and mammalians (50-59% identity). The expression of the pmrA cDNA partially restored the growth defect of Yarrowia lipolytica pmr1 null mutant on EGTA-containing medium. This indicates that the A. niger pmrA gene encodes a functional homologue of the yeast P-type Ca2+-ATPase involved in the secretory pathway. An A. niger pmrA null mutant exhibited growth retardation on EGTA-containing medium and the growth defect was overcome by adding Ca2+ or Mn2+ into the medium. This suggests an involvement of the pmrA protein in Ca2+ and Mn2+ homeostasis in A. niger.

Abstract
Using PCR, reverse transcription-PCR (RT-PCR) and colony hybridization in a genomic library, we isolated six genes which encode type II P-type ATPases in Neurospora crassa. The six full-length cDNAs were cloned in a yeast expression vector and transformed into Saccharomyces cerevisiae null Ca2+- or Na+-ATPase mutants. Three cDNAs suppressed the defect of the Ca2+ mutant and two of these protected from Mn2+ toxicity. One cDNA suppressed the defect of the Na+ mutant and two cDNAs were not functional in S. cerevisiae. The expression of the transcripts of the six genes in the presence of Ca2+, Na+, high pH or supporting an osmotic shock indicated that, with the exception of one of the Ca2+-ATPases, the main function of the cloned ATPases is the adaptation to stress conditions. The relationship between the cloned fungal Ca2+- and Na+-ATPases and plant type II P-ATPases is discussed.
