Article Abstract
Filamentous fungi produce polysaccharide-degrading enzymes, which is controlled by poorly understood transcriptional circuits. Here we show that a circuit comprising RsrC-RsrA-RsrB (Rsr: production of raw-starch-degrading enzyme regulator) that positively regulates production of raw starch-degrading enzymes in Penicillium oxalicum. Transcription factor (TF) RsrA is essential for biosynthesis of raw starch-degrading enzymes. RsrB and RsrC containing Zn2Cys6- and C2H2-zinc finger domains, act downstream and upstream of RsrA, respectively. RsrA activates rsrB transcription, and three nucleotides (G, G and G) of rsrB promoter region are required for RsrA, in terms of TF, for binding. RsrB binds to DNA sequence 5'-TCGATCAGGCACGCC-3' in the promoter region of the gene encoding key raw-starch-degrading enzyme PoxGA15A. RsrC specifically binds rsrA promoter, but not amylase genes, to positively regulate the expression of rsrA and the production of raw starch-degrading enzymes. These findings expand complex regulatory network of fungal raw starch-degrading enzyme biosynthesis.

Characterizing starch-degrading and associated enzymes remains relevant as various industries seek to harness their activity to produce valuable by-products, develop novel food applications, and to aid the sustainable bioconversion of starch-rich resources. To support this, we developed a targeted methodological and analysis framework utilizing complimentary phenomic and genomic assays informative of the starch degrading potential of . Adapted starch agar plate assays incorporating diversified starch sources and states facilitated the rating of extracellular amylolytic activity by starch-processing-line isolates [ ( = 3), ( = 2), and ( = 2)] as weak to moderate based on the complete or partial hydrolysis of retrograded soluble (SS), or potato and wheat (WS), starches, respectively, and the partial hydrolysis of raw SS.

BaqA is a raw starch degrading α-amylase produced by the marine bacterium MKSC 6.2, associated with soft corals. This α-amylase belongs to a new subfamily Glycoside Hydrolases (GH) 13_45 which has several unique characteristics, namely, a pair of tryptophan residues Trp201 and Trp202, a distinct LPDIx signature in the Conserved Sequence Region-V (CSR-V), and an elongated C-terminus containing five aromatic residues.

Filamentous fungi can produce raw-starch-degrading enzyme, however, regulation of production of raw-starch-degrading enzyme remains poorly understood thus far. Here, two novel transcription factors raw-starch-degrading enzyme regulator D (RsrD) and raw-starch-degrading enzyme regulator E (RsrE) were identified to participate in the production of raw-starch-degrading enzyme in . Individual knockout of and in the parental strain Δ resulted in 31.
