To investigate the role of the sugar transporter MAL31 on pullulan biosynthesis, the coding gene mal31 was respectively disrupted and overexpressed in the parental strain A. pullulans CCTCC M 2012259 to construct mutants of A. pullulans Δmal31 and A. pullulans Mal31. Batch pullulan production significantly decreased by 69.1 % in A. pullulans Δmal31 but increased by 15.9 % in A. pullulans Mal31, as compared to the parental strain. We performed kinetics analysis, assays of key enzymes, determination of intracellular UDPG, NADH, and ATP contents, and measurement of transcriptional levels of genes associated with pullulan biosynthesis and excretion. The results confirmed that the mal31 disruption decreased the glucose consumption rate, decreased the formation rate and titer of pullulan, but increased the intracellular UDPG supply for β-glucan accumulation. In contrast, the mal31 overexpression increased the transcriptional levels of genes associated with pullulan biosynthesis, and accelerated the rates of glucose consumption and pullulan formation, thereby increased pullulan production. Our findings revealed that MAL31 is involved in the transport of precursors for pullulan biosynthesis. This study provides an accurate operating site for genetic modification of A. pullulans for improving pullulan production and also presents a feasible technique route for the overproduction of other polysaccharides. |
