Regulation of Sialidase Biosynthesis by Control Mechanism Induction in Antarctic Strain Penicillium griseofulvum P29

Le résumé fourni par la source

In recent years, sialidases (neuraminidases) derived from non-clinical sources have attracted considerable interest due to their potential applications in the food and pharmaceutical industries. A deeper understanding of the mechanisms regulating sialidase synthesis could lead to more efficient enzyme production. Induction is considered a key regulatory mechanism. However, there is a lack of data on the regulation of sialidase synthesis in filamentous fungi. This study examines how regulatory mechanisms influence the production of a sialidase enzyme exhibiting high activity at low temperatures in the Antarctic fungal strain Penicillium griseofulvum P29. The inclusion of high- and low-molecular-weight substances possessing terminal non-reducing N-acetylneuramyl groups in the tests led to a marked enhancement of sialidase activity. The strongest induction response was elicited by sialic acid, followed by glycomacropeptide, milk whey, N-acetylglucosamine, N-acetylmannosamine, and colominic acid. RT-qPCR experiments demonstrated that induction occurs at the transcriptional level of the sialidase gene. Biochemical analysis elucidates the function of inducers as triggers in the de novo synthesis of the enzyme protein. To our knowledge, this is the first study to highlight the importance of regulatory mechanism induction in the synthesis of cold-active sialidases.
