Abstract
Pleurotus ostreatus is one of the most cultivated edible fungi worldwide, but its lignocellulose utilization efficiency is relatively low (<50 %), which eventually affects the biological efficiency of P. ostreatus. Improving cellulase production and activity will contribute to enhancing the lignocellulose-degrading capacity of P. ostreatus. AMP-activated/Snf1 protein kinase plays important roles in regulating carbon and energy metabolism. The Snf1 homolog (PoSnf1) in P. ostreatus was obtained and analyzed using bioinformatics. The cellulose response of PoSnf1, the effect of the phosphorylation level of PoSnf1 on the expression of cellulose degradation-related genes, the putative proteins that interact with the phosphorylated PoSnf1 (P-PoSnf1), the cellobiose transport function of two sugar transporters (STP1 and STP2), and the interactions between PoSnf1 and STP1/STP2 were studied in this research. We found that cellulose treatment improved the phosphorylation level of PoSnf1, which further affected cellulase activity and the expression of most cellulose degradation-related genes. A total of 1, 024 proteins putatively interacting with P-PoSnf1 were identified, and they were enriched mainly in the substances transport and metabolism. Most of the putative cellulose degradation-related protein-coding genes could respond to cellulose. Among the P-PoSnf1-interacting proteins, the functions of two sugar transporters (STP1 and STP2) were further studied, and the results showed that both could transport cellobiose and were indirectly regulated by P-PoSnf1, and that STP2 could directly interact with PoSnf1. The results of this study indicated that PoSnf1 plays an important role in regulating the expression of cellulose degradation genes possibly by affecting cellobiose transport.

Proteome profiling of enriched membrane-associated proteins unraveled a novel sophorose and cello-oligosaccharide transporter in Trichoderma reesei. Microb Cell Fact 2024; 23:22. [PMID: 38229067 DOI: 10.1186/s12934-023-02279-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/25/2023] [Accepted: 12/18/2023] [Indexed: 01/18/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Trichoderma reesei is an organism extensively used in the bioethanol industry, owing to its capability to produce enzymes capable of breaking down holocellulose into simple sugars. The uptake of carbohydrates generated from cellulose breakdown is crucial to induce the signaling cascade that triggers cellulase production. However, the sugar transporters involved in this process in T. reesei remain poorly identified and characterized. RESULTS To address this gap, this study used temporal membrane proteomics analysis to identify five known and nine putative sugar transporters that may be involved in cellulose degradation by T. reesei. Docking analysis pointed out potential ligands for the putative sugar transporter Tr44175. Further functional validation of this transporter was carried out in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The results showed that Tr44175 transports a variety of sugar molecules, including cellobiose, cellotriose, cellotetraose, and sophorose. CONCLUSION This study has unveiled a transporter Tr44175 capable of transporting cellobiose, cellotriose, cellotetraose, and sophorose. Our study represents the first inventory of T. reesei sugar transportome once exposed to cellulose, offering promising potential targets for strain engineering in the context of bioethanol production.

Every road leads to Rome: diverse biosynthetic regulation of plant cell wall-degrading enzymes in filamentous fungi Penicillium oxalicum and Trichoderma reesei. Crit Rev Biotechnol 2023:1-21. [PMID: 38035670 DOI: 10.1080/07388551.2023.2280810] [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: 07/26/2022] [Accepted: 10/16/2023] [Indexed: 12/02/2023]
Abstract
Cellulases and xylanases are plant cell wall-degrading enzymes (CWDEs) that are critical to sustainable bioproduction based on renewable lignocellulosic biomass to reduce carbon dioxide emission. Currently, these enzymes are mainly produced from filamentous fungi, especially Trichoderma reesei and Penicillium oxalicum. However, an in-depth comparison of these two producers has not been performed. Although both P. oxalicum and T. reesei harbor CWDE systems, they exhibit distinct features regulating the production of these enzymes, mainly through different transcriptional regulatory networks. This review presents the strikingly different modes of genome-wide regulation of cellulase and xylanase biosynthesis in P. oxalicum and T. reesei, including sugar transporters, signal transduction cascades, transcription factors, chromatin remodeling, and three-dimensional organization of chromosomes. In addition, different molecular breeding approaches employed, based on the understanding of the regulatory networks, are summarized. This review highlights the existence of very different regulatory modes leading to the efficient regulation of CWDE production in filamentous fungi, akin to the adage that "every road leads to Rome." An understanding of this divergence may help further improvements in fungal enzyme production through the metabolic engineering and synthetic biology of certain fungal species.
