摘要:

【目的】微生物生产L-苹果酸是目前极为高效的一种生产方法,为揭示黑曲霉生产L-苹果酸的生物合成机制,借助转录组学分析探究关键基因在代谢调控过程中的差异变化。【方法】MA-1菌株在发酵144 h产酸水平达到88.27 g/L,选取产酸速率不同的3个时间点(48、72和120 h)进行转录组分析。【结果】GO分析显示,生物过程的调控、RNA结合与核糖体相关的二级条目下的显著基因差异性最大、数目最多。转录组分析发现发酵48-120 h过程中,HacA、Ace1、Rpn4等转录调控因子始终处于较高水平,FPKM值达到20 181.64-94 573.00,且葡萄糖转运蛋白(Rco-3)、酮戊二酸/苹果酸转运蛋白Yhm1呈现相对较高的转录水平,FPKM值达到4 971.83-6 575.46;糖酵解EMP途径中,其重要的限速酶丙酮酸激酶(FPKM值13 109.15-25 649.30)和6个己糖激酶中的ANI_1_1984024(FPKM值达4 111.68-7 325.43)转录水平相对较高,再者从葡萄糖转化为丙酮酸途径中的其他酶转录水平均在120 h呈下降趋势;TCA循环中整体基因转录水平均维持较高水平,为细胞代谢提供充足能量,rTCA途径中柠檬酸合酶表达水平最高,苹果酸脱氢酶次之,乙醛酸循环水平较低。【结论】推测黑曲霉MA-1菌株中L-苹果酸合成的主要途径为rTCA和丙酮酸羧化途径。

Abstract:

【Objective】 Microbial production of L-malic acid is currently an extremely efficient producing method. In order to reveal the biosynthetic mechanism of L-malic acid production by Aspergillus niger, the differential changes of key genes in the metabolic regulation process were explored with the help of transcriptomic analysis. 【Method】The acid production level of MA-1 strain reached 88.27 g/L at 144 h of fermentation, and three time points(48, 72, and 120 h)with different acid production rates were selected for transcriptome analysis. 【Result】GO analysis showed that the regulation of biological processes, RNA binding and ribosome-related secondary entries under the significant genes were the most differentiated and the largest number. Transcriptome analysis revealed that transcriptional regulators such as HacA, Ace1, and Rpn4 were consistently at high levels during fermentation from 48 to 120 h, with FPKM values reaching 20 181.64-94 573.00, and that glucose transporter protein(Rco-3), and ketoglutarate/malate transporter protein Yhm1 showed relatively high transcript levels, with FPKM values reaching 4 971.83-6 575.46; in the glycolytic EMP pathway, its important rate-limiting enzyme pyruvate kinase(FPKM values of 13 109.15-25 649.30)and ANI_1_1984024 among the six hexokinase enzymes(FPKM values up to 4 111.68-7 325.43)showed relatively high transcript levels, and then the pathway for the conversion from glucose to pyruvate. The transcript levels of other enzymes in the glucose-to-pyruvate pathway showed a decreasing trend at 120 h. The transcript levels of the whole genes in the TCA cycle were maintained at a high level to provide sufficient energy for cellular metabolism, and the highest level of citrate synthase in the rTCA pathway, followed by malate dehydrogenase, and the level of the glyoxylate cycle was low.【Conclusion】The main pathways of L-malate synthesis in A. niger MA-1 strain were presumed to be rTCA and pyruvate carboxylation pathway.
