摘要: 丝状真菌米曲霉(Aspergillus oryzae)是发酵工业的重要菌株,具有强大的蛋白分泌能力和公认的食品安全性,可作为表达外源蛋白的细胞工厂。然而利用米曲霉分泌生产外源蛋白质常会受限于一些瓶颈问题:包括转录、翻译、蛋白质折叠、易位、降解、运输和分泌等。这些问题的存在导致米曲霉外源蛋白生产很难达到预期的效果。近年来,随着全基因组序列的破译,米曲霉生产相关基础研究以及基因工程技术都得到了较好的发展。如提高同源重组效率、选择性标记基因应用技术、染色体大片段删除技术、菌丝融合技术和DNA芯片技术等。这些技术的开发和建立为米曲霉工业生产应用提供了大量技术支持。针对米曲霉在外源表达蛋白中存在的瓶颈问题,主要通过以下几个方面进行了阐述:转化系统的优化和转化效率的提高、蛋白酶基因缺陷菌株的构建、融合表达策略,以及优化其外源表达系统来提高外源蛋白生产等。这些米曲霉生产相关基础研究以及基因工程技术的进步很大程度上提高了米曲霉的生产应用,并为今后米曲霉生产菌株的育种提供了更多有效的途径和研究空间。

Abstract: The filamentous fungus Aspergillus oryzae is an important strain in fermentation industry. It has a strong capacity of secreting protein and recognized food safety,therefore is widely used as a cell factory for the expression of foreign proteins. However,the production and secretion of foreign proteins by A.oryzae are limited by a number of bottlenecks,including transcription,translation,protein folding,translocation,degradation,transport,and secretion,etc. The existence of these problems makes it difficult to achieve the desired target in the production of foreign proteins by A.oryzae. In recent years,with the decipherment of the whole genome sequence,the basic research and the genetic engineering technologies related to the production of A. oryzae have been well developed,for example,improvement of the homologous recombination efficiency,application of selectable marker genes,large chromosome deletion technology,hyphal fusion technique,DNA microarray,etc. The development and establishment of these technologies provided a great deal of technical support for the industrial production and application of A. oryzae. Regarding the bottlenecks in the heterologous protein expression of A. oryzae,this article mainly elaborated several aspects such as the optimization of genetic transformation system and the increase of transformation efficiency,the construction of protease gene-deleted strains,the fusion expression strategy,and the optimization of its exogenous expression system to improve the production of foreign proteins. These advances in basic research and genetic engineering technology have greatly improved the production and application of A.oryzae,and also provide more effective ways and research space for the breeding of A.oryzae production strains in the future.
