Sone M, Navanopparatsakul K, Takahashi S, Furusawa C, Hirasawa T. Loss of function of Hog1 improves glycerol assimilation in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. World J Microbiol Biotechnol 2023; 39:255. [PMID: 37474876 PMCID: PMC10359374 DOI: 10.1007/s11274-023-03696-z] [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: 03/27/2023] [Accepted: 07/08/2023] [Indexed: 07/22/2023]
Abstract
We previously isolated a mutant of Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain 85_9 whose glycerol assimilation was improved through adaptive laboratory evolution. To investigate the mechanism for this improved glycerol assimilation, genome resequencing of the 85_9 strain was performed, and the mutations in the open reading frame of HOG1, SIR3, SSB2, and KGD2 genes were found. Among these, a frameshift mutation in the HOG1 open reading frame was responsible for the improved glycerol assimilation ability of the 85_9 strain. Moreover, the HOG1 gene disruption improved glycerol assimilation. As HOG1 encodes a mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), which is responsible for the signal transduction cascade in response to osmotic stress, namely the high osmolarity glycerol (HOG) pathway, we investigated the effect of the disruption of PBS2 gene encoding MAPK kinase for Hog1 MAPK on glycerol assimilation, revealing that PBS2 disruption can increase glycerol assimilation. These results indicate that loss of function of Hog1 improves glycerol assimilation in S. cerevisiae. However, single disruption of the SSK2, SSK22 and STE11 genes encoding protein kinases responsible for Pbs2 phosphorylation in the HOG pathway did not increase glycerol assimilation, while their triple disruption partially improved glycerol assimilation in S. cerevisiae. In addition, the HOG1 frameshift mutation did not improve glycerol assimilation in the STL1-overexpressing RIM15 disruptant strain, which was previously constructed with high glycerol assimilation ability. Furthermore, the effectiveness of the HOG1 disruptant as a bioproduction host was validated, indicating that the HOG1 CYB2 double disruptant can produce L-lactic acid from glycerol.

Adaptive Laboratory Evolution of Microorganisms: Methodology and Application for Bioproduction. Microorganisms 2022; 11:microorganisms11010092. [PMID: 36677384 PMCID: PMC9864036 DOI: 10.3390/microorganisms11010092] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/19/2022] [Revised: 12/26/2022] [Accepted: 12/27/2022] [Indexed: 12/31/2022] Open
Abstract
Adaptive laboratory evolution (ALE) is a useful experimental methodology for fundamental scientific research and industrial applications to create microbial cell factories. By using ALE, cells are adapted to the environment that researchers set based on their objectives through the serial transfer of cell populations in batch cultivations or continuous cultures and the fitness of the cells (i.e., cell growth) under such an environment increases. Then, omics analyses of the evolved mutants, including genome sequencing, transcriptome, proteome and metabolome analyses, are performed. It is expected that researchers can understand the evolutionary adaptation processes, and for industrial applications, researchers can create useful microorganisms that exhibit increased carbon source availability, stress tolerance, and production of target compounds based on omics analysis data. In this review article, the methodologies for ALE in microorganisms are introduced. Moreover, the application of ALE for the creation of useful microorganisms as cell factories has also been introduced.
