The novel properties of Kluyveromyces marxianus glucose sensor/receptor repressor pathway and the construction of glucose repression-released strains.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Glucose repression in yeast leads to the sequential or diauxic utilization of mixed sugars and reduces the co-utilization of glucose and xylose from lignocellulosic biomasses. Study of the glucose sensing pathway helps to construct glucose repression-released yeast strains and enhance the utilization of lignocellulosic biomasses.

Results

Herein, the glucose sensor/receptor repressor (SRR) pathway of Kluyveromyces marxianus which mainly consisted of KmSnf3, KmGrr1, KmMth1, and KmRgt1 was studied. The disruption of KmSNF3 led to a release of glucose repression, enhanced xylose consumption and did not result in deficient glucose utilization. Over-expression of glucose transporter gene restored the mild decrease of glucose utilization ability of Kmsnf3 strain to a sim
