Copper ion (Cu2+) is involved in the transcription of the tyrosinase-encoding melB gene of Aspergillus oryzae in solid-state culture

Jun Chen,
Akio Tonouchi

Abstract: In Aspergillus oryzae, the tyrosinase-encoding gene melB causes undesirable browning of sake and sake lees. This gene is known to be expressed specifically in solid-state culture; however, its expression mechanisms remain unknown. Here, we evaluated the possible factors affecting the transcription of melB and found that the copper ion (Cu2+) significantly enhanced the transcription level of melB in solid-state culture.

“…Solid-state culture is a commonly used industrial method to cultivate A. oryzae cells to produce industrial enzymes, as secretory proteins are produced to a greater extent in solid-state culture compared with submerged culture [86]. However, there are certain proteins that are not secreted in solid-state culture, unlike submerged culture, such as the glucoamylase-encoding gene glaB [87]. These findings suggest that there is a molecular mechanism governing protein secretion in A. oryzae.…”
