Wenyuan Zhou et al.

Summary: In this study, endoglucanase (MtEG5-1) from Myceliophthora thermophila was successfully overexpressed in Pichia pastoris GS115. The purified MtEG5-1 showed optimal activity at pH 5 and 70 degrees C, with good thermal stability. The enzyme demonstrated a molecular weight of 55 kDa and had Km and Vmax values of approximately 6.11 mg/mL and 91.74 mu mol/min/mg at 70 degrees C (pH 5.0), respectively. The activity of MtEG5-1 was enhanced by Mn2+ and inhibited by K+. These findings suggest that MtEG5-1 expressed by P. pastoris GS115 is more heat-tolerant and suitable for future academic research and industrial applications.

The arabinose transporter MtLat-1 is involved in hemicellulase repression as a pentose transceptor in Myceliophthora thermophila

Shuying Gu et al.

Summary: This study reveals that the l-arabinose transporter MtLat-1 is associated with the repression of hemicellulase gene expression in Myceliophthora thermophila. The absence of MtLat-1 results in decreased l-arabinose uptake and consumption rates, but increased mycelium growth, protein production, and hemicellulolytic activities. Comparative transcriptomic analysis shows a different expression profile in the Delta Mtlat-1 strain, indicating that MtLat-1 is involved in the repression of hemicellulase genes.
