  • A 37-Amino Acid Loop in the Yarrowia Lipolytica Hexokinase Impacts Its Activity and Affinity and Modulates Gene Expression
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN A 37‑amino acid loop in the Yarrowia lipolytica hexokinase impacts its activity and afnity and modulates gene expression Piotr Hapeta1, Patrycja Szczepańska1, Cécile Neuvéglise2 & Zbigniew Lazar1* The oleaginous yeast Yarrowia lipolytica is a potent cell factory as it is able to use a wide variety of carbon sources to convert waste materials into value‑added products. Nonetheless, there are still gaps in our understanding of its central carbon metabolism. Here we present an in‑depth study of Y. lipolytica hexokinase (YlHxk1), a structurally unique protein. The greatest peculiarity of YlHxk1 is a 37‑amino acid loop region, a structure not found in any other known hexokinases. By combining bioinformatic and experimental methods we showed that the loop in YlHxk1 is essential for activity of this protein and through that on growth of Y. lipolytica on glucose and fructose. We further proved that the loop in YlHxk1 hinders binding with trehalose 6‑phosphate (T6P), a glycolysis inhibitor, as hexokinase with partial deletion of this region is 4.7‑fold less sensitive to this molecule. We also found that YlHxk1 devoid of the loop causes strong repressive efect on lipase‑encoding genes LIP2 and LIP8 and that the hexokinase overexpression in Y. lipolytica changes glycerol over glucose preference when cultivated in media containing both substrates. Yarrowia lipolytica is an oleaginous yeast that has become a biotechnological workhorse due to its industrially- relevant abilities. Tis yeast synthesize high concentration of intracellular lipids and secrete high amount of proteins as well as organic acids and polyols 1–6.

  • Fungal Evolution: Major Ecological Adaptations and Evolutionary Transitions
    Biol. Rev. (2019), pp. 000–000. 1 doi: 10.1111/brv.12510 Fungal evolution: major ecological adaptations and evolutionary transitions Miguel A. Naranjo-Ortiz1 and Toni Gabaldon´ 1,2,3∗ 1Department of Genomics and Bioinformatics, Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG), The Barcelona Institute of Science and Technology, Dr. Aiguader 88, Barcelona 08003, Spain 2 Department of Experimental and Health Sciences, Universitat Pompeu Fabra (UPF), 08003 Barcelona, Spain 3ICREA, Pg. Lluís Companys 23, 08010 Barcelona, Spain ABSTRACT Fungi are a highly diverse group of heterotrophic eukaryotes characterized by the absence of phagotrophy and the presence of a chitinous cell wall. While unicellular fungi are far from rare, part of the evolutionary success of the group resides in their ability to grow indefinitely as a cylindrical multinucleated cell (hypha). Armed with these morphological traits and with an extremely high metabolical diversity, fungi have conquered numerous ecological niches and have shaped a whole world of interactions with other living organisms. Herein we survey the main evolutionary and ecological processes that have guided fungal diversity. We will first review the ecology and evolution of the zoosporic lineages and the process of terrestrialization, as one of the major evolutionary transitions in this kingdom. Several plausible scenarios have been proposed for fungal terrestralization and we here propose a new scenario, which considers icy environments as a transitory niche between water and emerged land. We then focus on exploring the main ecological relationships of Fungi with other organisms (other fungi, protozoans, animals and plants), as well as the origin of adaptations to certain specialized ecological niches within the group (lichens, black fungi and yeasts).

Abstract: Phytopathogenic Ascomycota are responsible for substantial economic losses each year, destroying valuable crops. The present study aims to provide new insights into phytopathogenicity in Ascomycota from a comparative genomic perspective. This has been achieved by categorizing orthologous gene groups (orthogroups) from 68 phytopathogenic and 24 non-phytopathogenic Ascomycota genomes into three classes: Core, (pathogen or non-pathogen) group-specific, and genome-specific accessory orthogroups. We found that (i) ~20% orthogroups are group-specific and accessory in the 92 Ascomycota genomes, (ii) phytopathogenicity is not phylogenetically determined, (iii) group-specific orthogroups have more enriched functional terms than accessory orthogroups and this trend is particularly evident in phytopathogenic fungi, (iv) secreted proteins with signal peptides and horizontal gene transfers (HGTs) are the two functional terms that show the highest Citation: Peterson, D.; Li, T.; Calvo, occurrence and significance in group-specific orthogroups, (v) a number of other functional terms are A.M.; Yin, Y.

Processes based on the yeast have GRAS status (“generally recognized as safe”) given by Food and Drug Administration. The majority of research communications regarding to Y. lipolytica claim that the yeast species is non-pathogenic. In spite of that, Y. lipolytica, like other fungal species, can cause infections in immunocompromised and critically ill patients. The yeast possess features that facilitate invasion of the host cell (particularly production of hydrolytic enzymes), as well as the protection of the own cells, such as biofilm formation. The aim of this study was to present well-known yeast species Y. lipolytica as a rare opportunistic fungal pathogen. Possible pathogenicity and epidemiology of this yeast species were discussed. Antifungal drugs susceptibility and increasing resistance to azoles in Y. lipolytica yeasts were also presented.

  • Genomic Analysis of Novel Yarrowia-Like Yeast Symbionts Associated with the Carrion-Feeding Burying Beetle Nicrophorus Vespilloides
    Brinkrolf et al. BMC Genomics (2021) 22:323 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12864-021-07597-z RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Genomic analysis of novel Yarrowia-like yeast symbionts associated with the carrion-feeding burying beetle Nicrophorus vespilloides Karina Brinkrolf1,2*, Shantanu P. Shukla3, Sven Griep2, Oliver Rupp2, Philipp Heise1, Alexander Goesmann2, David G. Heckel3, Heiko Vogel3 and Andreas Vilcinskas1,4 Abstract Background: Mutualistic interactions with microbes can help insects adapt to extreme environments and unusual diets. An intriguing example is the burying beetle Nicrophorus vespilloides, which feeds and reproduces on small vertebrate carcasses. Its fungal microbiome is dominated by yeasts that potentially facilitate carcass utilization by producing digestive enzymes, eliminating cadaver-associated toxic volatiles (that would otherwise attract competitors), and releasing antimicrobials to sanitize the microenvironment. Some of these yeasts are closely related to the biotechnologically important species Yarrowia lipolytica. Results: To investigate the roles of these Yarrowia-like yeast (YLY) strains in more detail, we selected five strains from two different phylogenetic clades for third-generation sequencing and genome analysis. The first clade, represented by strain B02, has a 20-Mb genome containing ~ 6400 predicted protein-coding genes. The second clade, represented by strain C11, has a 25-Mb genome containing ~ 6300 predicted protein-coding genes, and extensive intraspecific variability within the ITS–D1/D2 rDNA region commonly used for species assignments. Phenotypic microarray analysis revealed that both YLY strains were able to utilize a diverse range of carbon and nitrogen sources (including microbial metabolites associated with putrefaction), and can grow in environments with extreme pH and salt concentrations.

Microbial oils are gaining importance because they can be engineered to accumulate lipids enriched Received in revised form 2 December 2015 in desired fatty acids. These specific lipids are closer to the commercialized product, therefore reducing pollutants Accepted 8 December 2015 and costly chemical steps. Yarrowia lipolytica is the most widely studied and engineered oleaginous yeast. Differ- Available online 15 December 2015 ent molecular and bioinformatics tools permit systems metabolic engineering strategies in this yeast, which can Keywords: produce usual and unusual fatty acids. Usual fatty acids, those usually found in triacylglycerol, accumulate Yarrowia lipolytica through the action of several pathways, such as fatty acid/triacylglycerol synthesis, transport and degradation. Lipid metabolism Unusual fatty acids are enzymatic modifications of usual fatty acids to produce compounds that are not naturally Oleaginous yeasts synthetized in the host. Recently, the metabolic engineering of microorganisms has produced different unusual Unusual fatty acids fatty acids, such as building block ricinoleic acid and nutraceuticals such as conjugated linoleic acid or polyunsat- Systems metabolic engineering urated fatty acids.
