Project description:Background: Filamentous fungi produce large quantities of extracellular enzymes, such as cellulase and xylanase, to degrade polysaccharides derived from plant biomass. This process is controlled by a complex network of transcription factors (TFs). However, the regulatory mechanisms of cellulase and xylanase gene expression are poorly understood. Results: In this study, we reveal that the bZIP transcription factor Mthac-1 exerts dual regulatory effects on the production of cellulase and xylanase in the filamentous fungus Myceliophthora thermophila. The absence of Mthac-1 caused a reduction in cellulase and xylanase activities, as well as decreased protein secretion during the early phase of cultivation in Avicel medium, compared with the wild-type (WT) strain. However, in the middle and late stages, enzyme activities and protein secretion were noticeably enhanced by the deletion of Mthac-1. Additionally, the loss of Mthac-1 led to severe growth defects on sloid media containing various carbon sources, characterized by few hyphae branching and reduced conidiation. Real-time quantitative reverse transcription PCR (RT-qPCR) analysis showed that Mthac-1 dynamically regulates the expression of major cellulase genes. Furthermore, electrophoretic mobility shift assays (EMSAs) demonstrated that Mthac-1 directly binds to the promoter regions of the β-glucosidase gene bgl1 (MYCTH_66804), cellobiohydrolase gene cbh1 (MYCTH_109566), endoglucanase gene egl2 (MYCTH_86753), xylanase gene xyn1 (MYCTH_112050), and the crucial regulatory gene xyr1 (MYCTH_2310145), exhibiting higher binding affinity for xyn1 and xyr1. Notably, comparative transcriptomic analysis indicated that Mthac-1 also plays an important role in the expression of 26S proteasome-encoding genes under cellulolytic conditions. Conclusions: Mthac-1 functions as a dual regulator of cellulase and xylanase production by regulating the expression of major cellulase and xylanase genes, as well as the key transactivator gene Mtxyr1, via direct promoter binding. Our work provides new insights into the regulatory mechanisms underlying cellulase and xylanase gene expression and has potential applications in fungal strain engineering in biorefinery industries.

Project description:Upon finding that the tetracyclines COL-3 and doxycycline target unique rRNA substructures of the 80S ribosome (E-MTAB-7147), we confirmed these putative ribosomal binding sites by showing that tetracycline-based crosslinking probes are specifically competed from these rRNA structures by their parent drugs. In short, we incorporated dual bioorthogonal handles into tetracycline-based probes, containing both a photoactive diazirine to enable direct probe crosslinking to the human ribosome and an azide handle to allow selective enrichment of crosslinked biomolecules via copper-free ‘click’ chemistry. The COL-3 and doxycycline probes were each incubated with A375 cells, followed by irradiation at 365 nm to induce photolysis of the diazirine moiety and subsequent crosslinking to adjacent ribosomal components. Pulldown and RNA-Seq of the crosslinked RNAs from our experiments were used to identify enrichment of reverse transcription (RT) stops at ribosomal RNA sites caused by local crosslinking of our probes. In these experiments, UV crosslinking was preformed with the COL-3 and doxycycline probe compounds in the presence and absence of free COL-3 and doxycycline (i.e., parent tetracycline molecules lacking the bifunctional diazirine-azide moiety), which were used as competitors to specifically diminish crosslinking to the ribosomal RNA. Crosslinking to ribosomal RNA was determined using RNA-Seq based RT stop enrichment, which was was also compared to inactive tetracycline probes containing a modified bifunctional linker, a non-specific aniline probe, and untreated controls.

Project description:Following the identification of the 80S ribosome as a putative target of the tetracycline analogs Col3 and doxycycline, we next sought to identify the precise binding sites for these tetracyclines within the ribonucleoprotein complex. We incorporated dual bioorthogonal handles into tetracycline-based probes, containing both a photoactive diazirine to enable direct probe crosslinking to the human ribosome and an azide handle to allow selective enrichment of crosslinked biomolecules via copper-free click chemistry. The Col-3 and doxycycline probes were each incubated with A375 cells, followed by irradiation at 365 nm to induce photolysis of the diazirine moiety and subsequent crosslinking to adjacent ribosomal components. Pulldown and RNA-Seq of the crosslinked RNAs from our experiments were used to identify enrichment of reverse transcription (RT) stops at ribosomal RNA sites caused by local crosslinking of our probes. This RNA-Seq based RT stop enrichment analysis was compared to results using an non-specific aniline control probe and untreated controls.

Project description:Filamentous fungi are one of the primary degraders of plant biomass because of their ability to produce enzymes that break down complex polysaccharides. The production of cellulolytic enzymes in fungi is dependent on transcription factors. In this article, we identified a N. crassa Zn2Cys6 transcription factor Clr5 that regulates the expression of cellulase on cellulose. N. crassa Δclr5 exhibited a significant decrease in secreted proteins (~46%), endo-glucanase (~55%), xylanase (~33%), β-glucosidase (~38%), and exocellulase (~40%) compared with the WT, while transcriptomic analysis revealed that clr5 was essential in cellulase expression. We also determined that clr5 is crucial in amino acid- Leucine and Histidine metabolism. When using Leucine or Histidine as solo nitrogen source, Δclr5 strain cannot grow as normally as WT, and the expression of most CAZyme genes were reduced obviously, which indicated nitrogen metabolism played an important role in cellulose degradation. Moreover, the function of Clr5 is conservative in M. thermophila, the other fungi with a capacity for biomass degradation.

Project description:Myceliophthora thermophila, a thermophilic fungus, has been utilized to produce industrially important enzymes in biorefineries. In filamentous fungi, the mechanisms underlying cellulase and xylanase expression have been explored, which uncovered the complex networks controlled by numerous transcription factors (TFs). However, the TFs regulating cellulase and xylanase gene expression and production remain unclear in M. thermophila. Here, we identified and characterized a novel cellulase and xylanase regulator MtFKH1 (MYCTH_2307931) in M. thermophila through comparative transcriptomic and genetic analyses. Comparative transcriptome analyses of M. thermophila grown on Avicel and glucose screened eight potential transcription factor encoding genes and five of them were successfully deleted by newly developed CRISPR/Cas9 system, which caused the identification of a forkhead TF MtFKH1. The disruption of Mtfkh1 remarkably elevated cellulolytic and xylanolytic enzyme activities, whereas the overexpression of Mtfkh1 led to considerable decrease in cellulase and xylanase production in M. thermophila cultivated on Avicel. Loss of Mtfkh1 also exhibited an impairment in sporulation but normal mycelia growth compared with WT. Real-time quantitative reverse transcription PCR (RT-qPCR) showed that MtFKH1 regulated the expression of essential cellulase and xylanase genes, and electrophoretic mobility shift assays (EMSAs) demonstrated that MtFKH1 could specifically bound to the promoter regions of genes encoding β-glucosidase (bgl1/MYCTH_66804), cellobiohydrolase (cbh1/MYCTH_109566), and xylanase (xyn1/MYCTH_112050). Further DNase I footprinting analysis identified binding motif of MtFKH1 in the upstream region of Mtbgl1, which exhibited strongest binding affinity. Finally, transcriptomic profiling and Gene Ontology (GO) enrichment analyses of Mtfkh1 deletion mutant revealed that the regulon of MtFKH1 were significantly prevalent in hydrolase activity (acting on glycosyl bonds), polysaccharide binding, and carbohydrate metabolic process functional categories. These findings enlarge our knowledge of how forkhead transcription factor regulate lignocellulose degradation and provide a novel target for engineering of fungal cell factories with the hyperproduction of cellulases and xylanases.
