Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of agricultural biotechnology, and in particular to a bidirectional promoter derived from the thermophilic fungus Myceliophthora thermophila and applications thereof. Background Art

[0002] Myceliophthora thermophila is a high-temperature filamentous fungal chassis strain with the ability to efficiently degrade biomass and secrete proteins. No viruses, mycoplasmas, or reported fungal toxins have been detected. Compared with traditional industrial strains Trichoderma reesei and Penicillium decumbentum, the cellulase produced by Myceliophthora thermophila has significantly higher specific activity and thermal stability. Its enzyme preparations perform particularly well in high-temperature industrial environments and have important application value in biofuels, textiles, papermaking and other fields. At the same time, the glycosylation modification system of this strain can produce human-like glycan structures. This feature gives it a unique advantage in the production of recombinant protein drugs and vaccines. Therefore, the transformation of Myceliophthora thermophila through genetic engineering technology and its development as a multifunctional filamentous fungal chassis cell is of great significance for the production of enzyme preparations and biopharmaceutical products.

[0003] Currently, research on the gene expression regulation system of Myceliophthora thermophila is still at a relatively early stage. The number of functional promoter elements identified in this strain is relatively limited, with only two widely used for gene expression regulation: the transcription elongation factor EF-1 promoter and the pyruvate decarboxylase PDC promoter. This scarcity of promoter resources has become a key bottleneck in complex metabolic engineering projects requiring multi-gene co-expression, severely limiting the potential of Myceliophthora thermophila for applications in synthetic biology and metabolic engineering. Therefore, developing novel multifunctional promoters (such as bidirectional promoters and conditionally inducible promoters) through genome mining, rational design, or directed evolution, and establishing a comprehensive toolbox for gene expression regulation, will be a key research direction to overcome the bottleneck of metabolic engineering in Myceliophthora thermophila and hold important theoretical and practical significance for its industrial application.

[0004] Bidirectional promoters, as specialized cis-acting elements, are located within the shared DNA sequence region between two oppositely aligned genes in the genome. Their structure enables RNA polymerase to initiate transcription simultaneously from opposite directions, effectively coordinating the co-expression regulation of two independent genes. Existing studies have shown that, although bidirectional promoters from Pichia pastoris have been successfully identified, these promoters exhibit atypical promoter characteristics: they lack the TATA box core domain, a universally conserved structure in eukaryotic promoters; sequence homology varies widely between different bidirectional promoters; and their functional activity exhibits species-specific characteristics. Consequently, traditional bioinformatics prediction methods based on sequence conservation analysis (such as motif searching and promoter prediction) have limitations, making it difficult to effectively identify functional bidirectional promoter sequences in Myceliophthora thermophila using conventional computational biology methods. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a bidirectional promoter derived from the thermophilic fungus Myceliophthora thermophila.

[0006] Another object of the present invention is to provide the application of the bidirectional promoter derived from the thermophilic fungus Myceliophthora thermophila.

Compared with Myceliophthora thermophila ATCC42464, strain Δ ku 80 has lost its nonhomologous DNA repair function, a property that makes it suitable for site-specific gene integration and maintenance of equal gene copy number.

After 3 days of fermentation at 45°C, the cells were harvested and RNA was extracted using the Trizol method. The expression levels of EGFP and DsRed genes were determined by quantitative PCR. An engineered strain of Myceliophthora thermophila overexpressing a recombinant expression vector containing a fusion bidirectional promoter (the fusion promoter was constructed by reverse-linking the two constitutively high-expressing promoters of Myceliophthora thermophila, P87219 and P2074790) was used as a positive control to compare transcriptional differences between strains.
