Dual-acting single-engineered hybrid-architectured promoters enhance and convert expressions into multi-carbon source-regulated systems in Komagataella phaffii
Ethanol, glycerol, methanol, and acetate are sustainable carbon sources (SCSs) used as substrates for biochemical production. Cells are simultaneously exposed not to a single but multiple external stimuli. SCSs as substrates and co-substrates must be directed/redirected into fermentations. We need de novoengineered promoters inducible with multi-carbon sources. Core to this conceptual advance is the development of novel methodologies for integrating SCSs into fermentations through engineering transcriptional machinery-element interactions with multiple transcriptional switches, each designed with directed transcription factor (TF) binding site (TFBS)-TF interactions in Komagataella phaffii (Pichia pastoris). Dual-acting single-engineered promoters (DASEPs) were designed on alcohol dehydrogenase 2 (ADH2) hybrid-architectured promoter layout with two directed synthetic TFBS-TF interactions, function as transcriptional switches to drive SCS-induced upregulated- and/or rewired- transcription and expression. Using cross-yeast analogies, we predicted the master TFs (i) Cat8 on ethanol and methanol and (ii) Hap1 and Hap2/3/4/5 complex on the SCSs. Using single-acting single-engineered promoters (SASEPs) carrying synthetic TFBS-Cat8 transcriptional switch constructed on the base promoter ADH2 architecture, we generated DASEP1 and DASEP2 on the hybrid-architectured SASEP3 layout with synthetic TFBS-Hap1 and TFBS-Hap2/3/4/5 transcriptional switches, respectively. DASEP1 and DASEP2 performances tested by eGFP expression measurements in SCSs, outcompeted SASEPs and compared to SASEP3, respectively, (i) 8.2- and 6.5-fold on glycerol, (ii) 2.7- and 2.6-fold on 2 % (v/v) ethanol, (iii) 3.9- and 4.0-fold on 1 % (v/v) ethanol, (iv) 3.6- and 4.2-fold on 1 % (v/v) methanol, and (v) 3.7- and 2.8-fold on acetate. In contrast, lower cell concentrations indicated the metabolic burden of eGFP expression on the metabolic engineered K. phaffii cells constructed with DASEPs.
期刊介绍:
Enzyme and Microbial Technology is an international, peer-reviewed journal publishing original research and reviews, of biotechnological significance and novelty, on basic and applied aspects of the science and technology of processes involving the use of enzymes, micro-organisms, animal cells and plant cells.
We especially encourage submissions on:
Biocatalysis and the use of Directed Evolution in Synthetic Biology and Biotechnology
Biotechnological Production of New Bioactive Molecules, Biomaterials, Biopharmaceuticals, and Biofuels
New Imaging Techniques and Biosensors, especially as applicable to Healthcare and Systems Biology
New Biotechnological Approaches in Genomics, Proteomics and Metabolomics
Metabolic Engineering, Biomolecular Engineering and Nanobiotechnology
Manuscripts which report isolation, purification, immobilization or utilization of organisms or enzymes which are already well-described in the literature are not suitable for publication in EMT, unless their primary purpose is to report significant new findings or approaches which are of broad biotechnological importance. Similarly, manuscripts which report optimization studies on well-established processes are inappropriate. EMT does not accept papers dealing with mathematical modeling unless they report significant, new experimental data.
