Combining manipulation of integration loci and secretory pathway on expression of an Aspergillus niger glucose oxidase gene in Trichoderma reesei

Abstract Trichoderma reesei (T. reesei) is well-known for its excellent ability to secret a large quantity of cellulase. However, unlike the endogenous proteins, little is known about the molecular mechanisms governing heterologous protein production. Herein, we focused on the integration loci and t...

description Abstract Trichoderma reesei (T. reesei) is well-known for its excellent ability to secret a large quantity of cellulase. However, unlike the endogenous proteins, little is known about the molecular mechanisms governing heterologous protein production. Herein, we focused on the integration loci and the secretory pathway, and investigated their combinatorial effects on heterologous gene expression in T. reesei using a glucose oxidase from Aspergillus niger as a model protein. Integration in the cel3c locus was more efficient than the cbh1 locus in expressing the AnGOx by increasing the transcription of AnGOx in the early stage. In addition, we discovered that interruption of the cel3c locus has an additional effect by increasing the expression of the secretory pathway component genes. Accordingly, overexpressing three secretory pathway component genes, that were snc1, sso2, and rho3, increased AnGOx expression in the cbh1 transformant but not in the cel3c transformant.
