Heterologous products from the yeast Kluyveromyces lactis: exploitation of KlPDC1, a single-gene based system
نویسنده
چکیده
Heterologous products are frequent applications of microbial technology. Depending on the product, the host-vector system has to be chosen in order to fulfill process requirements. This short review summarizes published and unpublished results obtained for the production of heterologous metabolites and proteins from a single host, the yeast Kluyveromyces lactis, and by means of tools – promoter, mutant strains, regulators – uniquely from the single gene KlPDC1. We will describe the production of lactic acid and various bacterial, viral, fungal and mammal proteins or enzymes: β−galactosidase, Hepatitis C viral protein c-33, laccase, glucoamylase and interleukine-1β.

Induction by hypoxia of heterologous-protein production with the KlPDC1 promoter in yeasts.
The control of promoter activity by oxygen availability appears to be an intriguing system for heterologous protein production. In fact, during cell growth in a bioreactor, an oxygen shortage is easily obtained simply by interrupting the air supply. The purpose of our work was to explore the possible use of hypoxic induction of the KlPDC1 promoter to direct heterologous gene expression in yeast...
متن کاملMutations of the RAG3 gene encoding a regulator of fermentation in Kluyveromyces lactis are suppressed by a mutation of the transcription factor gene KlGCR1.
In Kluyveromyces lactis, Rag3 regulates both fermentative metabolism and thiamine biosynthesis. Regulation of fermentation is exerted at the level of transcription of KlPDC1. We have isolated and identified a mutation of the transcription factor KlGCR1, Klgcr1-1, which suppressed the fermentative-deficient phenotype associated with the RAG3 deletion. In the mutant, the transcription of KlPDC1 w...
متن کاملThe Rag4 glucose sensor is involved in the hypoxic induction of KlPDC1 gene expression in the yeast Kluyveromyces lactis.
Kluyveromyces lactis is a yeast which cannot grow under strict anaerobiosis. To date, no factors responsible for oxygen sensing and oxygen-dependent regulation of metabolism have been identified. In this paper we present the identification of the glucose sensor Rag4 as a factor essential for oxygen-dependent regulation of the fermentative pathway.
متن کاملInducible amplification of gene copy number and heterologous protein production in the yeast Kluyveromyces lactis.
Heterologous protein production can be doubled by increasing the copy number of the corresponding heterologous gene. We constructed a host-vector system in the yeast Kluyveromyces lactis that was able to induce copy number amplification of pKD1 plasmid-based vectors upon expression of an integrated copy of the plasmid recombinase gene. We increased the production and secretion of two heterologo...

In this study, twenty-five whey samples collected from dairy industries in the city of Isfahan. The sampleswere cultured on malt extract broth (MEB) and yeast extract glucose chloramphenicol agar (YGCA) media.Eleven yeast strains (designated M1 to M11) were isolated from the culture. The strains were identified bytheir morphological and physiological properties. Betagalactosid...
