The transcriptional activator GaaR of Aspergillus niger is required for release and utilization of D-galacturonic acid from pectin

ABSTRACT: We identified the D-galacturonic acid (GA) responsive transcriptional activator GaaR of the saprotrophic fungus Aspergillus niger, which was found to be essential for growth on GA and polygalacturonic acid (PGA). Growth of the ΔgaaR strain was reduced on complex pectins. Genome-wide expression analysis showed that GaaR is required for the expression of genes necessary to release GA from PGA and more complex pectins, to transport GA into the cell and to induce the GA-catabolic pathway. Residual growth of ΔgaaR on complex pectins is likely due to expression of pectinases acting on rhamnogalacturonan and subsequent metabolism of the monosaccharides other than GA.

Network-based analysis of carbohydrate-active gene transcription in Aspergillus niger

Project description:Transcriptomics was performed on batch cultivations of A. niger grown on three monosaccharides and three complex carbohydrates with defined compositions as to allow the detection of cross-induction if present, and for demonstration of how enzyme interaction graphics can be used to visualize the global transcription response. Batch cultivations of A. niger were grown in shake-flasks on one of three monosaccharides (arabinose, glucose, xylose) or one of three complex carbohydrates (arabinan, starch, xylan). Three replicates were performed for each monosaccharide and complex carbohydrate, except for starch, where two replicates were performed.

Aspergillus niger RhaR, a regulator involved in L-rhamnose release and catabolism

Project description:The genome of the filamentous fungus Aspergillus niger is rich in genes encoding pectinases, a broad class of enzymes that have been extensively studied due to their use in industrial applications. The sequencing of the A. niger genome provided more knowledge concerning the individual pectinolytic genes, but relatively little is still known about the regulatory genes involved in pectin degradation. Understanding regulation of the pectinolytic genes provides a tool to optimize the production of pectinases in this industrially important fungus. This study describes the identification and characterization of one of the activators of pectinase-encoding genes, RhaR. Inactivation of the gene encoding this regulator resulted in down-regulation of genes involved in the release and catabolism of L-rhamnose from the pectinolytic substructure rhamnogalacturonan I. We aim to discover differencial expressed genes in A.niger wild type strain N402 and M-NM-^TrhaR mutant while growing on rhamnose as carbon source. Biological duplicates were made for both strain at the growth of 2 hours, Affymetrix microarray experiments were performed on these samples.

Evidence for inducer function of 2-keto-3-deoxy-L-galactonate in D-galacturonic acid induced gene expression in Aspergillus niger

Project description:In Aspergillus niger, the enzymes encoded by gaaA, gaaB, gaaC and gaaD catabolize D-galacturonic acid (GA) consecutively into L-galactonate, 2-keto-3-deoxy-L-galactonate, pyruvate and L-glyceraldehyde, and glycerol. We show here that deletion of gaaB or gaaC results in severely impaired growth on GA and accumulation of pathway intermediates L-galactonate and 2-keto-3-deoxy-L-galactonate, respectively. Expression levels of several GA-induced genes were specifically elevated in the ∆gaaC mutant on GA as compared to the reference strain or other GA catabolic pathway deletion mutants. The hyper-induction of GA-induced genes in ∆gaaC indicates that 2-keto-3-deoxy-L-galactonate is the inducer of genes required for GA utilization.

Transcriptomes of Aspergillus fumigatus Z5 induced by different carbon sources

Project description:Various saprotrophic microorganisms, especially filamentous fungi, can efficiently degrade lignocellulose that is one of the most abundant natural material on earth. It consists of complex carbohydrates and aromatic polymers found in plant cell wall and thus in plant debris. Aspergillus fumigatus Z5 was isolated from compost heaps and showed highly efficient plant biomass-degradation capability.Genome analysis revealed an impressive array of genes encoding cellulases, hemicellulases, and pectinases involved in lignocellulosic biomass degradation. We sequenced the transcriptomes of Aspergillus fumigatus Z5 induced by sucrose, xylan, cellulose and rice straw, respectively. There were 444, 1711 and 1386 significantly differently (q-value ≤ 0.0001 and |log2 of the ratio of the RPM values| ≥ 2) expressed genes in xylan, cellulose and rice straw,respectively, relative to sucrose control.

After incubation at 45 â, 145rpm for 20 hours with sucrose as the carbon source, mycelia were induced for 16 hours using xylan, cellulose and rice straw, respectively. Transcriptome induced by sucrose was used as the control when comparing the differences between other three transcriptomes (induced by xylan, cellulose and rice straw, respectively).

RNA-seq analysis of Bacteroides xylanisolvens XB1AT grown on pectin or xylan

Project description:Dietary fiber degradation is a key function of the human gut microbiota. The aim of this study was to increase our knowledge on the degradation of plant cell wall polysaccharide degradation by a prominent human gut bacterial species, Bacteroides xylanisolvens. The transcriptome analysis of B. xylanisolvens XB1AT revealed the existence of six and two genomic loci dedicated to the degradation of pectins and xylan, respectively. These loci or PUL ("Polysaccharide Utilization Loci") are known to encode enzyme systems in Bacteroides that are specific to a particular polysaccharide.

Spatial differentiation of gene expression in Aspergillus niger colony grown for sugar beet pulp utilization

Project description:Degradation of plant biomass to fermentable sugars is of critical importance for the use of plant materials for biofuels. Filamentous fungi are ubiquitous organisms and major plant biomass degraders. Single colonies of some fungal species can colonize massive areas as large as five soccer stadia.During growth, the mycelium encounters heterogeneous carbon sources. Here we assessed whether substrate heterogeneity is a major determinant of spatial gene expression in colonies of Aspergillus niger. We analyzed whole-genome gene expression in five concentric zones of 5-day-old colonies utilizing sugar beet pulp as a complex carbon source. Growth, protein production and secretion occurred throughout the colony. Genes involved in carbon catabolism and nitrate utilization were expressed uniformly from the centre to the periphery whereas genes encoding plant biomass degrading enzymes were expressed differentially across the colony. A combined adaptive response of carbon-catabolism and enzyme production to locally available monosaccharides was observed. Finally, our results demonstrate a fine-tuning of the different enzymatic tools available in A. niger and reveal how this fungus adapts as it colonizes complex environments.
