    Abstract Rare sugars possess potential applications as low-calorie sweeteners, especially for anti-obesity and anti-diabetes. In this study, a fermentation biosystem based on the “DHAP-dependent aldolases strategy” was established for D-allulose and D-sorbose production from glycerol in endotoxin-free ClearColi BL21 (DE3). Several engineering strategies were adopted to enhance rare sugar production. Firstly, the combination of different plasmids for aldO, rhaD, and yqaB expression was optimized. Then, the artificially constructed ribosomal binding site (RBS) libraries of aldO, rhaD, and yqaB genes were assembled individually and combinatorially. In addition, a peroxidase was overexpressed to eliminate the damage or toxicity from hydrogen peroxide generated by alditol oxidase (AldO). Finally, stepwise improvements in rare sugar synthesis were elevated to 15.01 g/L with a high yield of 0.75 g/g glycerol in a 3 L fermenter. This research enables the effective production of rare sugars from raw glycerol in high yields.

    Abstract Herein, we describe a yeast cell-based assay system to analyze SNAP25-targeting botulinum neurotoxins (BoNTs). BoNTs are protein toxins, and, upon incorporation into neuronal cells, their light chains (BoNT-LCs) target specific synaptosomal N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive attachment protein receptor (SNARE) proteins, including synaptosomal-associated protein 25 (SNAP25). BoNT-LCs are metalloproteases, and each BoNT-LC recognizes and cleaves conserved domains in SNAREs termed the SNARE domain. In the budding yeast

    Abstract Background: Human lysozyme (hLYZ), an emerging antibacterial agent, has extensive application in the food and pharmaceutical industries. However, the source of hLYZ is particularly limited.
    Results: To achieve highly efficient expression and secretion of hLYZ in Pichia pastoris, multiple strategies including G418 sulfate screening, signal sequence optimization, vacuolar sorting receptor VPS10 disruption, and chaperones/transcription factors co-expression were applied. The maximal enzyme activity of extracellular hLYZ in a shaking flask was 81,600 ± 5230 U mL
    Conclusion: This research provides a very useful and cost-effective approach for the hLYZ production in P. pastoris and can also be applied to the production of other recombinant proteins.

    Abstract Rare sugars are monosaccharides with low natural abundance. They are structural isomers of dietary sugars, but hardly be metabolized. Here, we report that rare sugar L-sorbose induces apoptosis in various cancer cells. As a C-3 epimer of D-fructose, L-sorbose is internalized via the transporter GLUT5 and phosphorylated by ketohexokinase (KHK) to produce L-sorbose-1-phosphate (S-1-P). Cellular S-1-P inactivates the glycolytic enzyme hexokinase resulting in attenuated glycolysis. Consequently, mitochondrial function is impaired and reactive oxygen species are produced. Moreover, L-sorbose downregulates the transcription of KHK-A, a splicing variant of KHK. Since KHK-A is a positive inducer of antioxidation genes, the antioxidant defense mechanism in cancer cells can be attenuated by L-sorbose-treatment. Thus, L-sorbose performs multiple anticancer activities to induce cell apoptosis. In mouse xenograft models, L-sorbose enhances the effect of tumor chemotherapy in combination with other anticancer drugs. These results demonstrate L-sorbose as an attractive therapeutic reagent for cancer treatment.

    Abstract Cell surface display technology, which expresses and anchors proteins on the surface of microbial cells, has broad application prospects in many fields, such as protein library screening, biocatalysis, and biosensor development. However, traditional cell surface display systems have disadvantages: the molecular weight of phage display proteins cannot be too large; bacterial display lacks the post-translational modification process for eukaryotic proteins; yeast display is prone to excessive protein glycosylation and misfolding of multisubunit proteins; and the compatibility of Bacillus subtilis spore display needs to be further improved. Therefore, it is extremely valuable to develop an efficient surface display platform with strong universality and stress resistance properties. Although yeast surface display systems have been extensively investigated, the establishment of a surface display platform using yeast spores has rarely been reported. In this study, a novel cell surface display platform based on natural “chitosan beads” of yeast spores was developed. The target protein in fusion with the chitosan affinity protein (CAP) exhibited strong binding capability with “chitosan beads” of yeast spores in vitro and in vivo. Moreover, this protein display system showed highly preferable enzymatic properties and stability. As an example, the displayed LXYL-P1-2-CAP demonstrated high thermostability and reusability (60% of the initial activity after seven cycles of reuse), high storage stability (75% of original activity after 8 weeks), and excellent tolerance to a concentration up to 75% (v/v) organic reagents. To prove the practicability of this surface display system, the semisynthesis of paclitaxel intermediate was demonstrated and its highest conversion rate was 92% using 0.25 mM substrate. This study provides a novel and useful platform for the surface display of proteins, especially for multimeric macromolecular proteins of eukaryotic origin.

    Abstract Cells of the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae form spores or stationary cells upon nutrient starvation. These quiescent cells are known to resume mitotic growth in response to nutrient signals, but the mechanism remains elusive. Here, we report that quiescent yeast cells are equipped with a negative regulatory mechanism which suppresses the commencement of mitotic growth. The regulatory process involves a glycolytic enzyme, triosephosphate isomerase (Tpi1), and its product, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (GAP). GAP serves as an inhibitory signaling molecule; indeed, the return to growth of spores or stationary cells is suppressed by the addition of GAP even in nutrient-rich growth media, though mitotic cells are not affected. Reciprocally, dormancy is abolished by heat treatment because of the heat sensitivity of Tpi1. For example, spores commence germination merely upon heat treatment, which indicates that the negative regulatory mechanism is actively required for spores to prevent premature germination. Stationary cells of Candida glabrata are also manipulated by heat and GAP, suggesting that the regulatory process is conserved in the pathogenic yeast.
