摘要

Remodelling regulatory pathways to directionally increase the efficiency of specific promoters in chassis cells is an effective strategy for the rational construction of expression systems. However, the repeated utilization of one regulator to modify the host cell to improve expression motif efficiency has a limited effect. Therefore, it is preferable to identify new regulatory factors to activate specific pathways and thus further improve the efficiency of target elements. Heterochromatin protein 1 (HP1) is considered a main factor responsible for heterochromatin maintenance; it binds DNA and thus forms a tight structure to repress gene expression in fungi. This study revealed that the overexpression of HepA (a homologue of HP1) increased amylase expression in Penicillium oxalicum. Furthermore, HepA was overexpressed in two engineered strains in which the endoglucanase TaEG and amylase Amy15B were recombinantly expressed under the control of the amylase promoter Pamy15A, resulting in increased production of these two enzymes. Therefore, HepA could be used as a novel facilitator to modify Penicillium chassis cells, in which the efficiency of expression motifs located in the amylase pathway can be further strengthened.
