-
摘要:
目的 酿酒酵母JP2(Saccharomyces cerevisiae JP2)是从自然发酵枇杷酒醪中分离得到一株具有较好代谢苹果酸的酵母菌。为深入研究其内在降酸机理,对其进行全基因组测序和基因组序列信息解析,并分析其可能的代谢苹果酸途径,找出影响降酸的基因。 方法 基于Illumina Miseq和PacBio测序平台,联用第二代和第三代测序技术对酿酒酵母JP2和模式菌株酿酒酵母S288c进行全基因组测序,采用生物信息学方法对其进行序列组装、基因预测与功能注释,并挖掘JP2可能的苹果酸代谢路径。 结果 (1)通过对酿酒酵母JP2基因组组装共得到52个重叠群,整个基因组大小为11.98 Mbp,GC含量 38.07%;JP2和S288c二者的全基因组大小和GC含量差异不大。(2)JP2代谢苹果酸的途径有3个:苹果酸→草酰乙酸→丙酮酸;苹果酸→丙酮酸;苹果酸→富马酸。相关的主要基因分别为maeA、MDH及fumC,其中苹果酸→草酰乙酸→丙酮酸是主要代谢路径,关键基因是maeA。(3)模拟发酵过程苹果酸代谢及其关键基因表达量变化显示,JP2的苹果酸含量下降了35.8%,下降程度显著高于S288c;与S288c相比,JP2的maeA基因呈现表达极显著上调(P<0.01),在发酵后期,其相对表达量达到起始值的130%。 结论 JP2在果酒发酵过程中呈现maeA基因高效表达,从而显著提高了苹果酸降解效率。研究结果可为酿酒酵母JP2降酸功能基因的研究以及降酸工程菌的研发提供技术支撑。 Abstract:Objective Saccharomyces cerevisiae JP2, isolated from naturally fermented loquat, is a yeast strain with good metabolism of malic acidwine mash. To further investigate its intrinsic acid lowering mechanism, whole genome sequencing and genome sequence information analysis were conducted, and possible metabolic pathways of malic acid were analyzed to identify genes that affect acid lowering. Method Based on the Illumina Miseq and PacBio sequencing platforms, second and third generation sequencing techniques were used to sequence the entire genome of S. cerevisiae JP2 and the type strain S. cerevisiae S288c. Bioinformatics methods were used to assemble their sequences, predict their genes, and annotate their functions, while exploring the possible malic acid metabolism pathways of JP2. Result (1) A total of 52 contigs were obtained by assembling the genome of S. cerevisiae JP2, with a total genome size of 11.98 Mbp and a GC content of 38.07%; There is no significant difference in overall genome size and GC content between JP2 and S288c. (2) There are three pathways for JP2 to metabolize malic acid: malic acid → oxaloacetate → pyruvate; malic acid → pyruvate; and malic acid → fumaric acid. The main genes involved are maeA, MDH, and fumC, among which malic acid → oxaloacetate → pyruvate is the main metabolic pathway with the key gene maeA. (3) The simulated fermentation process showed a decrease of 35.8% in malic acid metabolism and key gene expression levels in JP2, with a significant decrease compared to S288c; Compared with S288c, the maeA gene of JP2 was significantly upregulated (P<0.01), and its relative expression reached 130% of the initial value in the late fermentation stage. Conclusion JP2 exhibits high expression of maeA gene during fruit wine fermentation, significantly improving the efficiency of malic acid degradation. The research results can provide technical support for the study of the acid reducing functional gene of S. cerevisiae JP2 and the development of acid reducing engineering bacteria. -
