چکیده

A simple and reliable mushroom transformation procedure based on electroporation of basidiospores or mycelial fragments was developed. This method eliminated the problem of protoplast preparation, the transformation efficiency were 30-150 transformants per mug DNA and the hygromycin resistant marker gene and gus were expressed in Lentinula edodes successfully. No false positive antibiotic-resistant cultures were detected by PCR amplification and the beta-glucuronidase (GUS) expression was maintained stable during mitotic cell division without selection pressure for more than 6 months. Southern analysis of transformants indicated the integration of gene might occur by non-homologous recombination. Using the glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (gpd) promoter with the first intron of gpd gene, the average GUS activity in L. edodes reached 144.6+/-3.9 U mg(-1) soluble protein, while only 30.1+/-0.7 U mg(-1) soluble protein was detected for those without the intron. The percentage of GUS in total soluble protein was 5.67 x 10(-4) (0.06%) for the transformant with the highest GUS activity. This rapid and convenient electroporation procedure offers a new approach for the genetic manipulation and tool to tag genes of important edible mushroom species.

Lentinula edodes produces a multicomponent protein complex containing manganese (II)-dependent peroxidase, laccase and beta-glucosidase.

A multicomponent protein complex containing manganese (II)-dependent peroxidase, laccase and beta-glucosidase was isolated from culture extracts of the white rot basidiomycete Lentinula edodes. This protein complex showed a single protein band on native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE). On sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)-PAGE, however, it displayed three major bands and several additional...

Sterol constituents from two edible mushrooms, Lentinula edodes and Tricholoma matsutake.

Two new sterols, (22E)-23-methylergosta-5,7,22-trien-beta-ol (1) and 5alpha,6alpha-epoxy-(22E)-ergosta-8,14,22-triene -3beta,7alpha-diol (2), have been isolated from two edible mushrooms, Lentinula edodes and Tricholoma matsutake, respectively, together with twelve known ones (3-14). The structures of the new compounds were elucidated on the basis of their spectral data.

A Novel Lentinula edodes Laccase and Its Comparative Enzymology Suggest Guaiacol-Based Laccase Engineering for Bioremediation

Laccases are versatile biocatalysts for the bioremediation of various xenobiotics, including dyes and polyaromatic hydrocarbons. However, current sources of new enzymes, simple heterologous expression hosts and enzymatic information (such as the appropriateness of common screening substrates on laccase engineering) remain scarce to support efficient engineering of laccase for better "green" app...
