Enhanced heterologous gene expression in Trichoderma reesei by promoting multicopy integration
Résumé
Trichoderma reesei displays a high capability to produce extracellular proteins and therefore is used as a platform for the
expression of heterologous genes. In a previous study, an expression cassette with the constitutive tef1 promoter and the
cbh1 terminator compatible with fow cytometry analysis was developed. Independent transformants obtained by a random
integration into the genome of a circular plasmid containing the expression cassette showed a wide range of fuorescence
levels. Whole genome sequencing was conducted on eight of the transformed strains using two next-generation sequencing
(NGS) platforms: Illumina paired-end sequencing and Oxford Nanopore. In all strains, the expression plasmid was inserted
at the same position in the genome, i.e., upstream of the tef1 gene, indicating an integration by homologous recombination.
The diferent levels of fuorescence observed correspond to diferent copy numbers of the plasmid. Overall, the integration
of a circular plasmid with the green fuorescence protein (egfp) transgene under the control of tef1 promoter favors multicopy
integration and allows over-production of this heterologous protein on glucose. In conclusion, an expression system based
on using the tef1 promotor could be one of the building blocks for improving high-value heterologous protein production by
increasing the copy number of the encoding genes into the genome of the platform strain.
