To establish a reliable and practical ergothioneine (ERG) supply, we employed fermentative ERG production using Aspergillus oryzae, a fungus used for food production. We heterologously overexpressed the egt-1 and -2 genes of Neurospora crassa in A. oryzae and succeeded in producing ERG (231.0 mg/kg of media, which was 20 times higher than the wild type). Abbreviations: ERG: ergothioneine; HER: hercynine; Cys-HER: hercynylcysteine-sulfoxide; SAM: S-adenosylmethionine; SAH: S-adenosylhomocysteine; l-His: l-histidine; l-Cys: l-cysteine; LC-ESI-MS: liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry.
为建立可靠且实用的麦角硫因(ERG)供应体系,我们利用米曲霉(一种用于食品生产的真菌)进行发酵生产ERG。我们在米曲霉中异源过表达粗糙脉孢菌的egt -1和-2基因,并成功生产出ERG(231.0毫克/千克培养基,比野生型高20倍)。缩写:ERG:麦角硫因;HER:组氨酸三甲铵内盐;Cys - HER:组氨酰半胱氨酸亚砜;SAM:S - 腺苷甲硫氨酸;SAH:S - 腺苷高半胱氨酸;l - His:l - 组氨酸;l - Cys:l - 半胱氨酸;LC - ESI - MS:液相色谱 - 电喷雾电离 - 质谱。
