Metabolome analysis revealed that soybean-Aspergillus oryzae interaction induced dynamic metabolic and daidzein prenylation changes.

ABSTRACT: Several isoflavonoids are well known for their ability to act as soybean phytoalexins. However, the overall effects of the soybean-Aspergillus oryzae interaction on metabolism remain largely unknown. The aim of this study is to reveal an overview of nutritive and metabolic changes in germinated and A. oryzae-elicited soybeans. The levels of individual nutrients were measured using the ustulation, ashing, Kjeldahl, and Folch methods. The levels of individual amino acids were measured using high-performance liquid chromatography. Low-molecular-weight compounds were measured through metabolome analysis using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. Although the levels of individual nutrients and amino acids were strongly influenced by the germination process, the elicitation process had little effect on the change in the contents of individual nutrients and amino acids. However, after analyzing approximately 700 metabolites using metabolome analysis, we found that the levels of many of the metabolites were strongly influenced by soybean-A. oryzae interactions. In particular, the data indicate that steroid, terpenoid, phenylpropanoid, flavonoid, and fatty acid metabolism were influenced by the elicitation process. Furthermore, we demonstrated that not the germination process but the elicitation process induced daidzein prenylation, suggesting that the soybean-A. oryzae interactions produce various phytoalexins that are valuable for health promotion and/or disease prevention.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Since ancient times the filamentous fungus Aspergillus oryzae has been used in the fermentation industry for the production of fermented sauces and the production of industrial enzymes. Recently, the genome sequence of A. oryzae with 12,074 annotated genes was released but the number of hypothetical proteins accounted for more than 50% of the annotated genes. Considering the industrial importance of this fungus, it is therefore valuable to improve the annotation and further integrate genomic information with biochemical and physiological information available for this microorganism and other related fungi. Here we proposed the gene prediction by construction of an A. oryzae Expressed Sequence Tag (EST) library, sequencing and assembly. We enhanced the function assignment by our developed annotation strategy. The resulting better annotation was used to reconstruct the metabolic network leading to a genome scale metabolic model of A. oryzae. RESULTS:Our assembled EST sequences we identified 1,046 newly predicted genes in the A. oryzae genome. Furthermore, it was possible to assign putative protein functions to 398 of the newly predicted genes. Noteworthy, our annotation strategy resulted in assignment of new putative functions to 1,469 hypothetical proteins already present in the A. oryzae genome database. Using the substantially improved annotated genome we reconstructed the metabolic network of A. oryzae. This network contains 729 enzymes, 1,314 enzyme-encoding genes, 1,073 metabolites and 1,846 (1,053 unique) biochemical reactions. The metabolic reactions are compartmentalized into the cytosol, the mitochondria, the peroxisome and the extracellular space. Transport steps between the compartments and the extracellular space represent 281 reactions, of which 161 are unique. The metabolic model was validated and shown to correctly describe the phenotypic behavior of A. oryzae grown on different carbon sources. CONCLUSION:A much enhanced annotation of the A. oryzae genome was performed and a genome-scale metabolic model of A. oryzae was reconstructed. The model accurately predicted the growth and biomass yield on different carbon sources. The model serves as an important resource for gaining further insight into our understanding of A. oryzae physiology.

Project description:BackgroundNicotine-degrading microorganisms (NDMs) have recently received much attention since they can consume nicotine as carbon and nitrogen source for growth. In our previous work, we isolated an efficient nicotine-degrading fungus Aspergillus oryzae 112822 and first proposed a novel demethylation pathway of nicotine degradation in fungi. However, the underlying mechanisms of the demethylation pathway remain unresolved. In the present study, we performed a comparative transcriptome analysis to elucidate the molecular mechanisms of nicotine tolerance and degradation in A. oryzae 112822.ResultsWe acquired a global view of the transcriptional regulation of A. oryzae 112822 exposed to nicotine and identified 4381 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) by nicotine treatment. Candidate genes encoding cytochrome P450 monooxygenases (CYPs), FAD-containing amine oxidase, molybdenum cofactor (Moco)-containing hydroxylase, and NADH-dependent and FAD-containing hydroxylase were proposed to participate in the demethylation pathway of nicotine degradation. Analysis of these data also revealed that increased energy was invested to drive nicotine detoxification. Nicotine treatment led to overproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which formed intracellular oxidative stress that could induce the expression of several antioxidant enzymes, such as superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), and peroxiredoxin (Prx). Thioredoxin system was induced to restore the intracellular redox homeostasis. Several glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) were induced, most likely to participate in phase II detoxification of nicotine by catalyzing the conjugation of glutathione (GSH) to active metabolites. The toxin efflux pumps, such as the ATP-Binding Cassette (ABC) transporters and the major facilitator superfamily (MFS) transporters, were overexpressed to overcome the intracellular toxin accumulation. By contrast, the metabolic pathways related to cellular growth and reproduction, such as ribosome biogenesis and DNA replication, were inhibited by nicotine treatment.ConclusionThese results revealed that complex regulation networks, involving detoxification, transport, and oxidative stress response accompanied by increased energy investment, were developed for nicotine tolerance and degradation in A. oryzae 112822. This work provided the first insight into the metabolic regulation of nicotine degradation and laid the foundation for further revealing the molecular mechanisms of the nicotine demethylation pathway in filamentous fungi.
