Abstract
-
Nervous necrosis virus (NNV) causes viral encephalopathy
and retinopathy, a devastating disease of many species of
cultured marine fish worldwide. In this study, we used the
dimorphic non-pathogenic yeast Yarrowia lipolytica as a
host to express the capsid protein of red-spotted grouper
nervous necrosis virus (RGNNV-CP) and evaluated its potential
as a platform for vaccine production. An initial attempt
was made to express the codon-optimized synthetic
genes encoding intact and N-terminal truncated forms of
RGNNV-CP under the strong constitutive TEF1 promoter
using autonomously replicating sequence (ARS)-based vectors.
The full-length recombinant capsid proteins expressed
in Y. lipolytica were detected not only as monomers and
but also as trimers, which is a basic unit for formation of
NNV virus-like particles (VLPs). Oral immunization of mice
with whole recombinant Y. lipolytica harboring the ARSbased
plasmids was shown to efficiently induce the formation
of IgG against RGNNV-CP. To increase the number of
integrated copies of the RGNNV-CP expression cassette, a
set of 26S ribosomal DNA-based multiple integrative vectors
was constructed in combination with a series of defective
Ylura3 with truncated promoters as selection markers, resulting
in integrants harboring up to eight copies of the RGNNVCP
cassette. Sucrose gradient centrifugation and transmission
electron microscopy of this high-copy integrant were
carried out to confirm the expression of RGNNV-CPs as
VLPs. This is the first report on efficient expression of viral
capsid proteins as VLPs in Y. lipolytica, demonstrating high
potential for the Y. lipolytica expression system as a platform
for recombinant vaccine production based on VLPs.

Abstract
-
O-linked β-N-acetylglucosamine (O-GlcNAc) glycosylation
is an important post-translational modification in many
cellular processes. It is mediated by O-GlcNAc transferases
(OGTs), which catalyze the addition of O-GlcNAc to serine
or threonine residues of the target proteins. In this study,
we expressed a putative Yarrowia lipolytica OGT (YlOGT),
the only homolog identified in the subphylum Saccharomycotina
through bioinformatics analysis, and the human OGT
(hOGT) as recombinant proteins in Saccharomyces cerevisiae,
and performed their functional characterization. Immunoblotting
assays using antibody against O-GlcNAc revealed that
recombinant hOGT (rhOGT), but not the recombinant YlOGT
(rYlOGT), undergoes auto-O-GlcNAcylation in the heterologous
host S. cerevisiae. Moreover, the rhOGT expressed
in S. cerevisiae showed a catalytic activity during in vitro assays
using casein kinase II substrates, whereas no such activity
was obtained in rYlOGT. However, the chimeric human-Y.
lipolytica OGT, carrying the human tetratricopeptide repeat
(TPR) domain along with the Y. lipolytica catalytic domain
(CTD), mediated the transfer of O-GlcNAc moiety during
the in vitro assays. Although the overexpression of full-length
OGTs inhibited the growth of S. cerevisiae, no such inhibition
was obtained upon overexpression of only the CTD fragment,
indicating the role of TPR domain in growth inhibition.
This is the first report on the functional analysis of the
fungal OGT, indicating that the Y. lipolytica OGT retains
its catalytic activity, although the physiological role and substrates
of YlOGT remain to be elucidated.

Abstract
-
The hemiascomycetes yeast Yarrowia lipolytica is a dimorphic yeast with alternating yeast and mycelia forms. Bioinformatic analysis revealed the presence of three putative chitinase genes, YlCTS1, YlCTS2, and YlCTS3, in the Y. lipolytica genome. Here, we demonstrated that the protein of YlCTS1 (YlCts1p), which contains an N-terminal secretion signal peptide, a long C-terminal Ser/Thr-rich domain, and
a chitin-binding domain, is a homologue to Saccharomyces cerevisiae chitinase 1 (ScCts1p). Deletion of YlCTS1 remarkably reduced extracellular endochitinase activity in the culture supernatant of Y. lipolytica and enhanced cell aggregation,
suggesting a role of YlCts1p in cell separation as ScCts1p does in S. cerevisiae. However, loss of YlCts1p function did not affect hyphal formation induced by fetal bovine serum addition. The mass of YlCts1p was dramatically decreased
by jack bean α-mannosidase digestion but not by PNGase F treatment, indicating that YlCts1p is modified only by Omannosylation without N-glycosylation. Moreover, the O-glycan profile of YlCts1p was identical to that of total cell wall
mannoproteins, supporting the notion that YlCts1p can be used as a good model for studying O-glycosylation in this dimorphic yeast.

Abstract
-
Expression of proteins on the surface of yeast has a wide range of applications, such as development of live vaccines, screening of antibody libraries, and use as whole-cell biocatalysts. The hemiascomycetes yeast Yarrowia lipolytica has been raised as a potential host for heterologous expression of recombinant proteins. In this study, we report the expression of Aspergillus saitoi α-1,2-mannosidase, encoded by the msdS gene, on the cell surface of Y. lipolytica. As the first step to achieve the secretory expression of msdS protein, four different signal sequences-derived from the endogenous Y. lipolytica Lip2 and Xpr2 prepro regions and the heterologous A. niger α-amylase and rice α-amylase signal sequences-were analyzed for their secretion efficiency. It was shown that the YlLip2 prepro sequence was most efficient in directing the secretory expression of msdS in fully N-glycosylated forms. The surface display of msdS was subsequently directed by fusing GPI anchoring motifs derived from Y. lipolytica cell wall proteins, YlCwp1p and YlYwp1p, respectively, to the C-terminus of the Lip2 prepro-msdS protein. The expression of actively functional msdS protein on the cell surface was confirmed by western blot, flow cytometry analysis, along with the α-1,2-mannosidase activity assay using intact Y. lipolytica cells as the enzyme source. Furthermore, the glycoengineered Y. lipolytica Δoch1Δmpo1 strains displaying α-1,2-mannosidase were able to convert Man8GlcNAc2 to Man5GlcNAc2 efficiently on their cell-wall mannoproteins, demonstrating its potential used for glycoengineering in vitro or in vivo.

Abstract
-
Yarrowia lipolytica was usually transformed by heat shock, but linearized integrative vectors always resulted in a low transformation efficiency when electroporation was used. To develop a high efficiency integrative transformation method by electroporation of Y. lipolytica, we report here that pretreatment of Y. lipolytica with 150 mM LiAc for 1 h before electroporation will approximately 30-fold of increase transformation efficiency. A cell concentration of 1010/ml and instrument settings of 1.5 kV will generate the highest transformation efficiencies. We have developed a procedure to transform Y. lipolytica that will be able to yield an efficiency of 2.1×104 transformants/μg for integrative linear DNA. With our modifications, the electroporation procedures became a very efficient and reliable tool for Y. lipolytica transformation.

Abstract
-
Among oil-degrading microorganisms isolated from oil-polluted industrial areas, one yeast strain showed high degradation activity of aliphatic hydrocarbons. From the analyses of 18S rRNA sequences, fatty acid, coenzyme Q system, G+C content of DNA, and biochemical characteristics, the strain was identified as Yarrowia lipolytica 180. Y. lipolytica 180 degraded 94% of aliphatic hydrocarbons in minimal salts medium containing 0.2% (v/v) of Arabian light crude oil within 3 days at 25℃. Optimal growth conditions for temperature, pH, NaCl concentration, and crude oil concentration were 30℃, pH 5-7, 1%, and 2% (v/v), respectively. Y. lipolytica 180 reduced surface tension when cultured on hydrocarbon substrates (1%, v/v), and the measured values of the surface tension were in the range of 51 to 57 dynes/cm. Both the cell free culture broth and cell debris of Y. lipolytica 180 were capable of emulsifying 2% (v/v) crude oil by itself. They were also capable of degrading crude oil (2%). The strain showed a cell surface hydrophobicity higher than 90%, which did not require hydrocarbon substrates for its induction. These results suggest that Y. lipolytica has high oil-degrading activity through its high emulsifying activity and cell hydrophobicity, and further indicate that the cell surface is responsible for the metabolism of aliphatic hydrocarbons.

Abstract

In order to identify Yarrowia lipolytica genes induced by serum, cDNA representational difference analysis was performed using a PCR-select cDNA subtraction method. One of the genes cloned from the subtraction was a gene (YlMBF1) homologous to Saccharomyces cerevisiae MBF1 encoding the coactivator multiprotein bridging factor 1. Disruption of YlMBF1 revealed that the gene was not essential for viability, and the Ylmbf1[delta] strain did not show any distinct phenotypic change on solid serum medium. In liquid medium, however, a difference was found in the ability to maintain hyphae induced by serum. This result suggests that the YlMbf1 protein may mediate transcriptional activation of certain genes involved in the hypha formation of Y. lipolytica.

Abstract
-
The identification of genes involved in true hypha formation is important in the study of mechanisms underlying the morphogenetic switch in yeast. We isolated a gene responsible for the morphogenetic switch in Yarrowia lipolytica, which forms true hyphae in response to serum or N-acetylglucosamine. The isolated gene, encoding 847 amino acids, had sequence identities of 27% and 25% with the Bud6 (Aip3) proteins of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Schizosaccharomyces pombe, respectively. Disruption of this gene, designated YlBUD6, in haploid and diploid strains significantly reduced the ability of Y. lipolytica to switch from the yeast form to the hyphal form in hypha-inducing media. It was also found that YlBud6 mutants were rounder than the wild type when grown in the yeast form. These results indicate that the YlBud6 protein is necessary for hyphal growth and cell polarity in both haploid and diploid Y. lipolytica cells.
