Trehalose is a reducing disaccharide acting as a protectant against environmental stresses in many organisms. In fungi, Trehalose-6-phosphate synthase 1 (TPS1) plays a key role in the biosynthesis of trehalose. In this study, a full-length cDNA from Rhizopus oryzae encoding TPS1 (designated as RoTPS1) was isolated. The RoTPS1 cDNA is composed of 2505 nucleotides and encodes a protein of 834 amino acids with a molecular mass of 97.8kDa. The amino acid sequence of RoTPS1 has a relatively high homology with the TPS1s in several other filamentous fungi. RoTPS1 was cloned into Saccharomyces cerevisiae and secretively expressed.

Cloning and screening of the putative hexokinase genes from Rhizopus oryzae and their heterologous expression in Saccharomyces cerevisiae Alagoz, Eda; Acar, Seyda; Yucel, Meral; Hamamcı, Haluk (2022-06-01) Background A filamentous fungus, Rhizopus oryzae (R. oryzae) is one of the ideal candidates for ethanol and lactic acid production due to its ability to grow on renewable carbon sources.
Cloning, characterization and heterologous expression of the aspartokinase and aspartate semialdehyde dehydrogenase genes from the cephamycin C producer streptomyces clavuligerus Tunca, Sedef; Özcengiz, Gülay; Piret, Jacqueline; Department of Biotechnology (2002) The carbon flow through the lysine branch of aspartate pathway is a rate limiting step in the formation of cephamycin C, a broad spectrum P-lactam antibiotic produced by Streptomyces clavuligerus. In this study, the ask m(aspartokinase) and asd (aspartate semialdehyde dehydrogenase) genes which encode the enzymes catalyzing the first two steps of aspartate pathway were cloned and characterized as the first time from S. clavuligerus NRRL 3585. This was accomplished by constructing four mini-libraries of S. c...
Cloning and heterologous expression of the extracellular alpha-galactosidase from Aspergillus fumigatus in Aspergillus sojae under the control of gpdA promoter Gurkok, Suemeyra; Soyler, Betuel; Biely, Peter; Ögel, Zümrüt Begüm (Elsevier BV, 2010-07-01) Aspergillus fumigatus is highly pathogenic especially for immunocompromised people however it can efficiently produce many industrially important enzymes. The gene coding et-galactosidase enzyme (aglB) of A. fumigatus IMI 385708 has been cloned onto pAN52-4 fungal expression vector and expressed in a GRAS organism, Aspergillus sojae ATCC11906 under the control of constitutive glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (gpdA) promoter. pAN52-4 fungal expression system allowed high level alpha-galactosidase pro...
CELLULOSE-TRIGGERED SPORULATION IN THE GALACTOSE OXIDASE-PRODUCING FUNGUS CLADOBOTRYUM (DACTYLIUM) DENDROIDES NRRL-2903 AND ITS REIDENTIFICATION AS A SPECIES OF FUSARIUM Ögel, Zümrüt Begüm; BRAYFORD, D; MCPHERSON, MJ (1994-04-01) The production of extracellular galactose oxidase is limited to a few fungal species, including the important plant pathogens Fusarium graminearum and F. moniliforme. The best-studied enzyme is the one produced by the mycoparasitic fungus Cladobotryum (Dactylium) dendroides NRRL 2903. The NRRL 2903 strain was first mis-identified as Polyporus circinatus and later re-determined as Dactylium dendroides, although sporulation was never observed and the fungus was regarded as sterile. Upon growth at 25-degrees-C...
Cloning and heterologous expression of chlorophyll a synthase in Rhodobacter sphaeroides Ipekoglu, Emre M.; Gocmen, Koray; Oz, Mehmet T.; Gurgan, Muazzez; Yucel, Meral (2017-03-01) Rhodobacter sphaeroides is a purple non-sulfur bacterium which photoheterotrophically produces hydrogen from organic acids under anaerobic conditions. A gene coding for putative chlorophyll a synthase (chlG) from cyanobacterium Prochlorococcus marinus was amplified by nested polymerase chain reaction and cloned into an inducible-expression plasmid which was subsequently transferred to R. sphaeroides for heterologous expression. Induced expression of chlG in R. sphaeroides led to changes in light absorption ...
