Regulatory mechanism of Haa1p and Tye7p in Saccharomyces cerevisiae when fermenting mixed glucose and xylose with or without inhibitors

Abstract Background Various inhibitors coexist in the hydrolysate derived from lignocellulosic biomass. They inhibit the performance of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and further restrict the development of industrial bioethanol production. Transcription factors are regarded as targets for constructing ro...

description Abstract Background Various inhibitors coexist in the hydrolysate derived from lignocellulosic biomass. They inhibit the performance of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and further restrict the development of industrial bioethanol production. Transcription factors are regarded as targets for constructing robust S. cerevisiae by genetic engineering. The tolerance-related transcription factors have been successively reported, while their regulatory mechanisms are not clear. In this study, we revealed the regulation mechanisms of Haa1p and Tye7p that had outstanding contributions to the improvement of the fermentation performance and multiple inhibitor tolerance of S. cerevisiae. Results Comparative transcriptomic analyses were applied to reveal the regulatory mechanisms of Haa1p and Tye7p under mixed sugar fermentation conditions with mixed inhibitors [acetic acid and furfural (AFur)] or without inhibitor (C) using the original strain s6 (S), the HAA1-overexpressing strain s6H3 (H), and the TYE7-overexpressing strain s6T3 (T). The expression of the pathways related to carbohydrate, amino acid, transcription, translation, cofactors, and vitamins metabolism was enhanced in the strains s6H3 and s6T3. Compared to C_H vs. C_S group, the unique DEGs in AFur_H vs. AFur_S group were further involved in oxidative phosphorylation, purine metabolism, vitamin B6 metabolism, and spliceosome under the regulation of Haa1p. A similar pattern appeared under the regulation of Tye7p, and the unique DEGs in AFur_T vs. AFur_S group were also involved in riboflavin metabolism and spliceosome. The most significant difference between the regulations of Haa1p and Tye7p was the intracellular energy supply. Haa1p preferred to enhance oxidative phosphorylation, while Tye7p tended to upregulate glycolysis/gluconeogenesis. Conclusions Global gene expressions could be rewired with the overexpression of HAA1 or TYE7. The positive perturbations of energy and amino acid metabolism were beneficial to the improvement of the fermentation performance of the strain. Furthermore, strengthening of key cofactor metabolism, and transcriptional and translational regulation were helpful in improving the strain tolerance. This work provides a novel and comprehensive understanding of the regulation mechanisms of Haa1p and Tye7p in S. cerevisiae.
