ABSTRACT The use of renewable feedstocks for producing biofuels and bio-based chemicals by
16
engineering metabolic pathways of yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae has recently become an
17
attractive option. Many researchers attempted to increase glucose consumption rate by
18
overexpressing some glycolytic enzymes because most target bio-based chemicals are derived
19
through glycolysis. However these attempts have met with little success. In this study, to
20
create a S. cerevisiae strain with high glucose consumption rate, we used multi-copy
21
integration to develop a global metabolic engineering strategy. Among approximately 350
22
metabolically engineered strains, YPH499/dPdA3-34 exhibited the highest glucose
23
consumption rate. This strain showed 1.3-fold higher cell growth rate and glucose
24
consumption rate than the control strain. Real-time PCR analysis revealed that transcription
25
levels of glycolysis-related genes such as HXK2, PFK1, PFK2, PYK2, PGI1, and PGK1 in
26
YPH499/dPdA3-34 were increased. Our strategy is thus a promising approach to optimize
27
global metabolic pathways in S. cerevisiae.

INTRODUCTION Utilization of renewable feedstocks for the production of biofuels and bio-based
33
chemicals by engineering metabolic pathways of various kinds of microorganisms has
34
recently become an attractive option because of the environmental problems associated with
35
the combustion of fossil fuels.1 Among host microorganisms used for metabolic engineering,
36
yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae is particularly attractive for safety and convenience. S.
37
cerevisiae is nonpathogenic, classified as “generally regarded as safe” (GRAS), and has long
38
been used to produce consumables like ethanol.2 Thus, the fermentation and processing
39
technology for large-scale production is well established in S. cerevisiae.
40
Two renewable feedstocks are promising for use with yeast: cellulose and
41
hemicellulose, as well as their constituent sugars glucose and xylose.3 Yeast convert most of
42
the glucose they uptake into pyruvate thorough the glycolytic pathway, which is then further
43
metabolized to other compounds (Fig. 1). Thus, target bio-based chemicals obtained through
44
the metabolic engineering of S. cerevisiae are primarily derived from pyruvate.1 In the target
45
bio-based chemicals production, it generates a considerable amount of by-products that limits
46
the efficiency and yield of bio-based chemicals production. Thus, it is necessary to improve
47
the glucose consumption rate and reduce the amount of by-products.
48
Many researchers have attempted to increase glucose consumption rate by
49
overexpressing glycolytic enzymes in organisms such as S. cerevisiae,4,5 Escherichia coli,6 3 ACS Paragon Plus Environment

50
Lactococcus lactis,7,8 and Zymomonas mobilis,9 but these attempts have met with little success.
51
In most cases, although increases to glycolytic enzyme activity were observed, glucose
52
consumption rate remained unaffected. For example, phosphofructokinase and pyruvate
53
kinase are two enzymes implicated in the rate-limiting steps of yeast glycolysis, respectively
54
converting fructose-6-phosphate to fructose-1,6-phosphate and phosphoenolpyruvate into
55
pyruvate.10 However, co-overexpression of these two enzymes failed to increase glucose
56
consumption rate in S. cerevisiae, suggesting that the insertion and overexpression of more
57
genes coding for glycolytic enzymes are necessary before an effect can be observed.4,5 The most commonly used tool to overexpress foreign genes in S. cerevisiae has been
58 59
the yeast episomal plasmid (YEp).11 However, YEp vectors are mitotically unstable under
60
non-selective conditions, such as long-term industrial operations in poorly defined media.12,13
61
As an alternative, the yeast integrative plasmids (YIp) allow stable foreign gene expression,
62
but it remains unsuitable as an overexpression vector because only a few gene copies can be
63
integrated into the genome.13 Therefore, multi-copy integration methods such as δ-integration
64
and rDNA-integration have been developed that allow stable overexpression of foreign genes.

In addition to suitable methods for gene overexpression, the selection of appropriate promoters is also critical. Da Silva et al. (2012) reported that the strength of promoters 4 ACS Paragon Plus Environment

drastically affected target protein expression in S. cerevisiae.18 Moreover, in a study of 26
70
promoter sequences combined with 3 target proteins in the yeast Pichia pastoris, Stadlmayr et
71
al. (2010) reported that promoter strength was largely dependent on the compatibility between
72
promoter and target protein genes.19 Based on this understanding, we have recently developed
73
a strategy to select appropriate promoters from a combinatorial expression cassette library for
74
gene overexpression in P. pastoris.20 This strategy should also prove useful in S. cerevisiae.
75
Although S. cerevisiae is a promising host strain for bio-based chemicals production,
76
the synthesis of ethanol as a by-product is a major drawback. Even under fully aerobic
77
conditions, S. cerevisiae undergoes the Crabtree effect, producing ethanol when excess sugars
78
are present.21 As a result, many researchers have attempted to reduce ethanol production
79
deleting related genes such as ADH1 (alcohol dehydrogenase) and PDC1 (pyruvate
80
decarboxylase).22-24
81
In this study, we aimed to develop a host S. cerevisiae strain with low ethanol
82
production and high sugar consumption for the production of bio-based chemicals. To that
83
end, we designed and employed a global metabolic engineering strategy via multi-copy
84
integration. First, PDC1 and ADH1 were deleted to reduce ethanol production. Then, glucose
85
consumption of the PDC1/ADH1-deleted strain was increased via global metabolic
86
engineering. Finally, we investigated the mechanism behind the increased glucose
87
consumption. 5 ACS Paragon Plus Environment

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
90
Cell growth and metabolites of the PDC1/ADH1-deleted strain YPH499/dPdAW
91
The synthesis of ethanol as a by-product in S. cerevisiae is a major drawback. Thus
92
ethanol production related genes ADH1 and PDC1 (Fig. 1) deleted strain YPH499/dPdAW
93
was constructed. Then cell growth and metabolites of the YPH499/dPdAW and the control
94
strain YPH499/W were compared.
95
As shown in Figs. 2 A and B, cell growth and glucose consumption of
96
YPH499/dPdAW were lower than the control strain YPH499/W. After a 74-h cultivation, both
97
OD600 and glucose consumption were lowered by 1.3-fold in YPH499/dPdAW versus
98
YPH499/W. Additionally, YPH499/dPdAW exhibited a 1.9-fold decrease in ethanol
99
production compared with YPH499/W (Fig. 2 C), whereas glycerol production did not differ
100
between the two strains (Fig. 2 D). Exact values for cell growth, glucose consumption rate,
101
ethanol yield, and glycerol yield are presented in Table 1.
102
In accordance with previous research,22 we chose to reduce ethanol production
103
through a double deletion of PCD1/ADH1. Both enzymes encoded by these genes are critical
104
in ethanol production, with pyruvate decarboxylase catalyzing the first step in
105
pyruvate-to-ethanol conversion and alcohol dehydrogenase catalyzing
106
acetaldehyde-to-ethanol conversion. Based on their function, it is reasonable to assume that 6 ACS Paragon Plus Environment

107
eliminating pyruvate decarboxylase activity will sufficient in reducing ethanol productivity.
108
However, this strategy was not successful in S. cerevisiae, as single-gene deletions of
109
pyruvate decarboxylase isozymes PDC1, PDC5, or PDC6 failed to sufficiently reduce ethanol
110
productivity.25 Additionally, double-gene deletion of PDC1 and PDC526,27 or triple-gene
111
deletion of PDC1, PDC5, and PDC628,29 strongly impaired cell growth from glucose, in part
112
due to the low production of cytosolic acetyl-CoA from acetaldehyde in these strains.29
113
Eliminating alcohol dehydrogenase activity to reduce ethanol productivity also caused
114
problems. Specifically, deleting ADH1, the primary enzyme responsible for
115
acetaldehyde-to-ethanol conversion in S. cerevisiae,30 resulted in poor cell growth due to the
116
toxic accumulation of acetaldehyde.31 Thus, a double deletion of PDC1/ADH1 might be the
117
only method that could reduce ethanol production without seriously hampering cell growth
118
and glucose consumption rates. We believe that future studies can further reduce ethanol
119
by-product in bio-based chemicals production by optimizing the combinations of deleted
120
pyruvate decarboxylase and alcohol dehydrogenase genes.

To develop a S. cerevisiae strain with low ethanol production and high sugar

consumption, we designed and applied a global metabolic engineering strategy via multi-copy

126
fragments encoding 13 glycolysis-related enzymes with various promoters were randomly
127
integrated into the yeast genome, and the transformant with the highest glucose consumption
128
rate was selected.
129
As shown in Fig. 3, approximately 63% of S. cerevisiae transformants showed higher
130
glucose consumption rates than the control strain YPH499/dPdAW. The transformant with the
131
highest glucose consumption rate was named YPH499/dPdA3-34.
132 133
Cell growth, metabolites, and copy numbers and transcription levels of
134
glycolysis-related genes of the engineered yeast strain
135
To further investigate the cultural characteristics of yeast strain YPH499/dPdA3-34,
136
engineered and control strain were cultivated and cell growth, metabolites, and copy numbers
137
and transcription levels of glycolysis-related genes were evaluated.
138
As shown in Figs. 4 A and B, YPH499/dPdA3-34 exhibited increased cell growth and
139
glucose consumption compared with the control strain YPH499/dPdAW. After a 74-h
140
cultivation, OD600 and glucose consumption increased by 1.3-fold in YPH499/dPdA3-34
141
versus YPH499/dPdAW. Moreover, the ethanol production of YPH499/dPdA3-34 exhibited a
142
1.3-fold decrease in ethanol production compared with control (Fig. 4C), and a 2.9-fold
143
increase in glycerol production compared with control (Fig. 4D). Again, exact values for cell
144
growth, glucose consumption rate, ethanol yield, and glycerol yield are presented in Table 1. 8 ACS Paragon Plus Environment

ACS Synthetic Biology
As shown in Table 2, 2 copies of PGI1 and 1 copy of PFK1, PFK2, and PGK1 were
146
integrated into the genome of YPH499/dPdA3-34. As shown in Fig. 5, genes encoding
147
glycolytic enzymes (e.g., HXK2, PFK1, PFK2, and PYK2) exhibited higher transcription
148
levels in YPH499/dPdA3-34 than in YPH499/dPdAW. The up-regulation occurred for genes
149
encoding both enzymes that catalysed irreversible reaction steps (e.g., HXK2, PFK1, PFK2,
150
and PYK2) and reversible ones (e.g., PGI1 and PGK1). In contrast, the transcription levels of
151
other genes (e.g., HXT7, FBA1, TPI1, TDH3, GPM1, ENO2, and PYC2) did not differ
152
between YPH499/dPdA3-34 and YPH499/dPdAW.
153
Our global metabolic engineering strategy increased glucose consumption rate (Fig.
154
4; Table 1). Specifically, we were able to overexpress genes encoding 6 major enzymes that
155
catalyze both irreversible and reversible reaction steps in glycolysis, in contrast to previous
156
studies that only overexpressed two.4,5 The method we have developed provides a significant
157
advantage over previous attempts to up-regulate specific glycolytic enzymes, because it has
158
the potential to optimize the global metabolic pathway in yeast without exact knowledge of
159
rate-limiting steps. Attempting to select appropriate genes for overexpression based on
160
rate-limiting steps has proven to be difficult, with uncertain or conflicting results. For
161
example, glucose phosphate isomerase PGI1 catalyzes the conversion of glucose-6-phosphate
162
to fructose-6-phosphate, a process that competes with the conversion of glucose-6-phosphate
163
to trehalose-6-phosphate.32 Thus, PGI1 overexpression should reduce the conversion of 9 ACS Paragon Plus Environment
ACS Synthetic Biology
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60
164
glucose-6-phosphate to trehalose-6-phosphate. As the latter inhibits glycolytic enzyme HXK2,
165
PGI1 overexpression should then indirectly improve HXK2 activity and therefore, glucose
166
consumption rate.32 Yamamoto et al. (2012) also reported that glucose consumption rate was a
167
little improved by over expression of glucose phosphate isomerase gene in gram-positive
168
bacteria Corynebacterium glutamicum.33 Our method also addresses the issue of
169
overexpression effects being dependent on S. cerevisiae strain, culture condition, and target
170
products, as reported in a study on HXT1 or HXT7 (hexose transporter) overexpression
171
improving glucose consumption rate.34 The metabolic pathway optimization described in the
172
present study can be carried out in any S. cerevisiae strain and under any culture condition,
173
without altering the outcome.
174
Integrated gene copy number of glycolysis-related genes had a well correlation with
175
transcription level (Fig. 5; Table 2). Although gene integration of HXK2 and PYK2, whose
176
transcription levels were up-regulated, were not observed, those transcription levels would be
177
up-regulated by indirect effect of metabolic change via other genes integration and
178
concomitant altering glucose consumption rate. Indeed, most of glycolysis-related gene
179
transcription levels were affected by surrounding glucose concentration.35
180
Of note, we found that glycerol by-product increased in conjunction with the increase
181
in glucose consumption rate of YPH499/dPdA3-34 (Fig. 4). This pattern is due to yeast cells
182
compensating for NADH excess and NAD+ depletion caused by PDC1/ADH1 deletion. 10 ACS Paragon Plus Environment

183
However, YPH499/dPdAW was also a PDC1/ADH1-deleted strain, and yet produced less
184
glycerol compared with YPH499/dPdA3-34. These results suggest that attempts to improve
185
glucose consumption may have unexpected effects on glycerol production. This uncertain
186
influence is potentially concerning because intracellular co-factor imbalance is a major issue
187
in S. cerevisiae metabolic engineering, and the production/consumption of glycerol is often
188
used for balancing NADH and NAD+.36 However, we consider that intracellular co-factor
189
imbalance is unlikely to be a concern in cases where the target compound does not disrupt
190
co-factor balance, such as lactic acid production from glucose. Furthermore, applying our
191
global metabolic engineering strategy to pathways that can alter co-factor balance should
192
greatly enhance its usefulness and practicality.
193
Additionally, two PDC1/ADH1-deleted strains YPH499/dPdAW and
194
YPH499/dPdA3-34 could not consume glucose completely within 120 h fermentation
195
duration (Fig. 4). Although, PDC1/ADH1 deletion did not cause seriously hampering cell
196
growth, this incomplete glucose consumption should be resolved for practical application
197
because incomplete glucose consumption will lead to lower yield of target compounds. The
198
incomplete glucose consumption did not due to the low culture pH derived from acidic
199
metabolites such as acetic acid, because little difference existed between time course of
200
culture pH of complete glucose consuming strain YPH499/W and that of incomplete glucose
201
consuming strains YPH499/dPdAW and YPH499/dPdA3-34 (data not shown). Interestingly, 11 ACS Paragon Plus Environment

202
the incomplete glucose consumption could be solved by using richer selective or
203
non-selective medium (data not shown). The medium composition for cultivation of global
204
metabolic engineered strain is not restricted, because our global metabolic engineering
205
strategy is based on δ-integration which realize stable expression even in non-selective
206
medium.37 Thus, for efficient target compounds production by global metabolic engineered
207
strain, selection of medium should be important.
208 209
CONCLUSIONS
210
In this study, ethanol productivity was successfully reduced by PDC1/ADH1 deletion.
211
Furthermore, glucose consumption rate was successfully increased through a global metabolic
212
engineering strategy, involving multi-copy gene integration of 13 glycolysis-related genes and
213
the selection of strains with high glucose consumption rates. Although a previous study had
214
optimized the expression of 3 cellulolytic enzymes in yeast using δ-integration,16 ours is the
215
first study to simultaneously optimize the expression of more than 10 metabolic enzymes. The
216
method detailed here could be a promising approach to optimize S. cerevisiae metabolic
217
pathways, thereby improving bio-based chemicals production using this organism.

Table 3 summarizes the relevant features of E. coli and S. cerevisiae strains used in
222
this study. The E. coli strain HST08 (TaKaRa Bio, Otsu, Japan) was used as a host for
223
recombinant DNA manipulations. Recombinant E. coli cells were cultivated on Luria–Bertani
224
(LB) medium (10 g/L tryptone [Nacalai Tesque, Kyoto, Japan], 5 g/L yeast extract [Nacalai
225
Tesque], and 5 g/L NaCl), supplemented with 100 µg/mL ampicillin sodium salt.
226
The yeast strain S. cerevisiae YPH499 (NBRC 10505) was used as a host for
227
metabolic engineering. Recombinant S. cerevisiae cells were cultivated using synthetic
228
dextrose (SD) medium (6.7 g/L yeast nitrogen base without amino acids [Formedium, Norfolk,
229
UK] and 20 g/L glucose [Nacalai Tesque]), supplemented with appropriate amino acids and
230
nucleic acids. Flask cultivation was performed in 150 mL of medium using a 500-mL flask
231
with baffles and a rotary shaker set to 30°C and 150 rpm. Microplate cultivation was
232
performed in 0.9 mL of medium using a 2-mL, 96-well deep well plate, equipped with a gas
233
permeable seal, as well as a rotary plate shaker set to 30°C and 2000 rpm.

Gene deletion in yeast Following previously described methods,38 PDC1 and ADH1 of YPH499 were
237
deleted. All primers used in this study are summarized in supplementary Table 1. First, we
238
amplified the DNA fragment containing a URA3 marker gene for PDC1 deletion, using
239
pRS406 (Stratagene, CA, USA) as the template and primers PDC1d_URA3F1 and 13 ACS Paragon Plus Environment

PDC1_URA3R. A second PCR was performed using the DNA fragment from the first PCR as
241
the template and primers PDC1d_URA3F2 and PDC1_URA3R to extend the homology
242
region for gene recombination. Next, the product of the second PCR was transformed into
243
YPH499, and PDC1 was deleted by replacing URA3. Finally, marker recycling was
244
performed using the toxic uracil analog 5-fluoroorotic acid (Tokyo Chemical Industry, Tokyo,
245
Japan), and the resultant PDC1-deleted strain was named YPH499/dP. We used the same
246
procedure for deleting ADH1 from YPH499/dP, and the final PDC1/ADH1-deleted strain was
247
named YPH499/dPdA. Gene deletion was confirmed via yeast colony-directed PCR,39 using
248
the primers PDC1d_CheckF and PDC1d_CheckR for PDC1 deletion, as well as
249
ADH1d_CheckF and ADH1d_CheckR for ADH1 deletion.
250 251 252
Plasmid construction and yeast transformation We constructed 13 δ-integrative plasmid libraries for expressing glycolysis-related
253
enzymes with various promoters (Fig. 6), as follows. The DNA fragments, encoding 15
254
promoters from S. cerevisiae, P. pastoris, and H. polymorpha, were PCR-amplified using the
255
plasmid library pPPE_LibBTLAnc20 as the template, as well as ProF and ProR for the primers.
256
Next, the DNA fragments, encoding 13 glycolysis-related enzymes (HXT7, HXK2, PGI1,
257
PFK1 PFK2, FBA1, TPI1, TDH3, PGK1, GPM1, ENO2, PYK2, and PYC2) and their
258
terminator sequences, were PCR-amplified a second time using S. cerevisiae genomic DNA as 14 ACS Paragon Plus Environment

the template and the corresponding primers (supplementary Table 1). The PCR products,
260
encoding 15 promoters and HXT7, were inserted into the NotI site of the δ-integrative vacant
261
plasmid pδW40 using an In-Fusion HD Cloning Kit (TaKaRa Bio). The final δ-integrative
262
plasmid library was named pδW_LibHXT7. Other δ-integrative plasmid libraries were
263
similarly generated and named: pδW_LibHXK2, pδW_LibPGI1, pδW_LibPFK1,
264
pδW_LibPFK2, pδW_LibFBA1, pδW_LibTPI1, pδW_LibTDH3, pδW_LibPGK1,
265
pδW_LibGPM1, pδW_LibENO2, pδW_LibPYK2, and pδW_LibPYC2.
266
The δ-integrative vacant plasmid pδW was linearized with AscI and transformed into
267
S. cerevisiae YPH499 and YPH499/dPdA, following the previously described lithium acetate
268
method.41 The resultant strains were named YPH499/W and YPH499/dPdAW, respectively.

272
The global metabolic engineering scheme to construct yeast strains with high glucose
273
consumption rate is shown in Fig. 7. After the linearized plasmid libraries were transformed
274
into the YPH499/dPdA strains, approximately 350 transformants were subjected to
275
high-throughput screening for those with high glucose consumption rate. Transformants were
276
first cultivated in 0.9 mL of SD media for 48 h at 30°C, with rotary shaking at 2000 rpm. Next,
277
50 µL of each culture was inoculated into 0.9 mL of fresh SD media and cultivated for 50 h at 15 ACS Paragon Plus Environment

30°C, again with rotary shaking at 2000 rpm. Finally, cells were removed via centrifugation
279
(3000 × g for 5 min at 4°C), and glucose concentrations of the supernatants were measured
280
using the Glucose CII Test kit (Wako Pure Chemical, Osaka, Japan) and the Multiskan GO
281
microplate reader (Thermo Scientific, Rochester, NY, USA). The transformant with the
282
highest glucose consumption rate was YPH499/dPdA3-34.
283 284 285
Analysis of growth and metabolites We cultivated YPH499/W, YPH499/dPdAW, and YPH499/dPdA3-34 in 150 mL of
286
SD medium at 30°C, with rotary shaking at 150 rpm. The OD600 of each culture broth was
287
measured using the UVmini-1240 spectrophotometer (Shimadzu, Kyoto, Japan). To determine
288
glucose, ethanol, and glycerol concentrations, culture broths were also centrifuged at 14 000 ×
289
g for 10 min, and then added to Shim-pack SCR-101C columns (Shimadzu) for measurements
290
using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC; Shimadzu). The columns were
291
maintained at 80°C and eluted at a flow rate of 0.6 mL/min, with water as the mobile phase.
292
The eluate was monitored using a refractive index detector (Shimadzu, RID-10A).
293
The ethanol and glycerol yields were calculated using equations (1) and (2),
294
respectively.

Real-time PCR analysis Template total DNA was isolated from yeast cells cultivated in SD medium for 50 h
300
as described by Hoffman et al (1987).42 Total RNA was isolated from yeast cells cultivated in
301
SD medium for 50 h at 30°C, using the RiboPure Yeast Kit (Ambion, TX, USA) Next, cDNA
302
was synthesized from extracted total RNA using the ReverTra Ace qPCR RT Kit (Toyobo,
303
Osaka, Japan).
304
The copy numbers and transcription levels of glycolysis-related genes were
305
quantified with real-time PCR using total DNA as the template and with reverse-transcription
306
(RT) real-time PCR using cDNA as the template, respectively. The primers used in real-time
307
PCR analysis were shown in supplementary Table 1. We performed the PCR using a
308
Rotor-Gene 6000 Real-Time QPCR System (Corbett Research, Cambridge, UK) with a
309
Thunderbird SYBR qPCR Mix (Toyobo). The gene copy number and transcription level were
310
calculated using the 2−∆∆CT method,43 and normalized to those of PDA1 (pyruvate
311
dehydrogenase) as the housekeeping gene.44
