    TesisLa bioconversi贸n eficiente de la pentosa Xylose es vital para el desarrollo de biorefiner铆as de lignocelulosa competentes. Aunque se han realizado muchos intentos adecuados de ingenier铆a metab贸lica para la utilizaci贸n de xilosa recombinante en Saccharomyces cerevisiae, el crecimiento con xilosa est谩 todav铆a lejos de ser 贸ptimo. Los hallazgos previos se帽alan una explicaci贸n m谩s compleja a esta caracter铆stica que involucra interacciones entre la xilosa y las v铆as de se帽alizaci贸n. Para evaluar esta cuesti贸n, hemos desarrollado y validado un panel de cepas de biosensores de levadura GFP para la caracterizaci贸n de tres v铆as de se帽alizaci贸n (Snf3 / Rgt2, Snf1 / Mig1, cAMP / PKA) cuando se someten a diferentes condiciones de xilosa. Curiosamente, la presencia de 50 g / L de xilosa sola no desencaden贸 ning煤n efecto sobre estas v铆as de se帽alizaci贸n, sin embargo, cuando se presentaba una condici贸n mixta de 50 g / L de xilosa y 5 g / L, se observaron patrones de inducci贸n m谩s elevados tan In glucosa 5 g / L Para los transportadores de hexosa de baja afinidad (HXT2 y HXT4) y el gen UC2. En conjunto, estos resultados apoyan la hip贸tesis de que la xilosa sola produce una verdadera respuesta de inanici贸n en cepas de S. cerevisiae W303 no modificadas en lugar de una respuesta de carbono no fermentable. Adem谩s, se ha adquirido suficiente informaci贸n para proponer que las condiciones mixtas de glucosa y xilosa producen un efecto m谩s profundo en la se帽alizaci贸n que deber铆a investigarse m谩s a fondo.Tesi

    The sugar sensing and carbon catabolite repression in Baker鈥檚 yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae is governed by three major signaling pathways that connect carbon source recognition with transcriptional regulation. Here we present a screening method based on a non-invasive in vivo reporter system for real-time, single-cell screening of the sugar signaling state in S. cerevisiae in response to changing carbon conditions, with a main focus on the response to glucose and xylose.ResultsThe artificial reporter system was constructed by coupling a green fluorescent protein gene (yEGFP3) downstream of endogenous yeast promoters from the Snf3p/Rgt2p, SNF1/Mig1p and cAMP/PKA signaling pathways: HXT1p/2p/4p; SUC2p, CAT8p; TPS1p/2p and TEF4p respectively. A panel of eight biosensors strains was generated by single copy chromosomal integration of the different constructs in a W303-derived strain. The signaling biosensors were validated for their functionality with flow cytometry by comparing the fluorescence intensity (FI) response in the presence of high or nearly depleted glucose to the known induction/repression conditions of the eight different promoters. The FI signal correlated with the known patterns of the selected promoters while maintaining a non-invasive property on the cellular phenotype, as was demonstrated in terms of growth, metabolites and enzyme activity.ConclusionsOnce verified, the sensors were used to evaluate the signaling response to varying conditions of extracellular glucose, glycerol and xylose by screening in 96-well microtiter plates. We show that these yeast strains, which do not harbor any recombinant pathways for xylose utilization, are lacking a signaling response for extracellular xylose. However, for the HXT2p/4p sensors, a shift in the flow cytometry population dynamics indicated that internalized xylose does affect the signaling. These results suggest that the previously observed effects of this pentose on the S. cerevisiae physiology and gene regulation can be attributed to xylose and not only to a lack of glucose
