NUTRIENT ACQUISITION : DIGESTION & TRANSPORT
![Page 2: Topic 5 nutrient acquisition: digestion and transport](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062418/555722e8d8b42a067f8b4b9c/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
DISACCHARIDES
Examples: Sucrose, maltose and cellobiose
![Page 3: Topic 5 nutrient acquisition: digestion and transport](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062418/555722e8d8b42a067f8b4b9c/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
May be transported into fungus: Intact or Hydrolyzed before being transported.
E.g., In S. cerevisiae, sucrose was converted to glucose and fructose at the cell surface and the monosaccharides were transported.
![Page 4: Topic 5 nutrient acquisition: digestion and transport](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062418/555722e8d8b42a067f8b4b9c/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
• Isolated cell walls of S. cerevisiae contained most of the invertase.
• Invertase was solubilized by treated with snail digestive enzyme in mannitol.
• Protoplast were unable to ferment sucrose, but could ferment glucose
• Maltose was not located in wall, but retained in the protoplast.
• Yeast cannot ferment maltose unless the have been grown on maltose.

CELLULOSE
Structure : microfibrillar substance of linear molecules
packed into crystalline arrays interspersed with
amorphous regions.
•Non- ordered structure•Helps in β-linkage to adapt to microenvironment
Native cellulose : Insoluble : Comminuted to produce fine particulate suspension

• CBHI and EGI have greater than 50% nucleotide sequence similarity and about 45% amino acid sequence similarity.
• CBHII and EGIII were unrelated to each other or the first pair.
Two reasons for the expression of the genes for the enzymes in Saccharomyces cerevisiae:
• Since S. cerevisiae has no known exocellular cellulases, expression of the genes individually resulted in single-enzyme activities with no cross contamination.
• Since cellulose substrates are highly variable, conversion of cellulose to glucose may not be optimal with the native mix from Trichoderma reesei.
![Page 9: Topic 5 nutrient acquisition: digestion and transport](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062418/555722e8d8b42a067f8b4b9c/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
• Expression of the four cloned cellulase genes of T. ressei in S. cerevisiae succeeded by using cDNA clones from the mRNAs to eliminate the introns that were not correctly spliced by yeast, and by providing suitable yeast promoters.
• The recombinant enzymes from S. cerevisiae were active toward the natural substrates, barley β-glucan and lichenin, and several artificial substrates.
• The specific activity and binding of the recombinant CBHII were reduced in comparison with the natural enzyme, suggesting that the hyperglycosylation affected activity.

STARCHES AND HEMICELLULOSE
![Page 12: Topic 5 nutrient acquisition: digestion and transport](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062418/555722e8d8b42a067f8b4b9c/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
β-glucans have β-1,3 and β-1,6 linkages Starches and glycogens have α-1,4 and
α-1,6 linkages Produced by fungi, algae, vascular
plants, animals Sources of carbon and energy Fungal walls usually contain β-1,3 and
β-1,6 glucans (β-glucans) which are associated with wall fractions or the periplasmic space
Many glucanases have a nutritional role
![Page 13: Topic 5 nutrient acquisition: digestion and transport](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062418/555722e8d8b42a067f8b4b9c/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
The hydrolysis of α-1,4 linkages of starch and glycogen is catalyzed by α- and β-amylases and glucoamylases
Amylases are endoglucanases-yield maltose and glucose, also limit-dextrins with α-1,6-branching(debranching enzyme required)
Glucoamylases are exoglucanases-hydrolyze glucose
Many fungi produce amylases and glucoamylases which cleave α-1,4-bonds to yield glucose
Fungi lacking glucoamylase require maltase
![Page 14: Topic 5 nutrient acquisition: digestion and transport](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062418/555722e8d8b42a067f8b4b9c/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Hemicellulose – composed of mixtures of polysaccharides that have different sugar monomers-glucose, galactose, mannose, arabinose, xylose, glucuronic acid
These are alkali-soluble extractable polysaccharides of plant cell walls
Mostly heteropolymeric-have 2 or more sugar monomers, linear or branched, and acetylated
Enzymes required to utilize these materials-xylanase, debranching xylanase, mannanase, galactanase, arabinosidase, glucuronidase, acetly esterase
![Page 15: Topic 5 nutrient acquisition: digestion and transport](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062418/555722e8d8b42a067f8b4b9c/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
LIGNIN COMETABOLISM• Lignin is the most abundant carbon
in aromatic form.• Lignin is a branched polymer of
cinnmyl olcohol-derived monomers.• Lignin impregnating material in wood
which protects polysaccharides component from enymatic attack.
![Page 16: Topic 5 nutrient acquisition: digestion and transport](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062418/555722e8d8b42a067f8b4b9c/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Aspects of lignin decompositions: Fungi are the only organisms that
extensively degrade lignin to C02 . Degradation occurs by
predominantly oxidative without releasing its monomer into solution.
Does not provide primary source of carbon and energy for fungal growth.
![Page 17: Topic 5 nutrient acquisition: digestion and transport](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062418/555722e8d8b42a067f8b4b9c/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Decay fungi are grouped into three principal types according to form decay;1)White rot
Basidiomycetes and few Ascomycetes. Capable of complete mineralization of lignin.
2)Brown rot Basidiomycetes Degrade cellulose and hemicellulose
preferentially with limited degradation of lignin.
3)Soft rot Ascomycetes and Deuteromycetes. Various lignolytic abilities on lignin. ( either
no, little or great atttack).
![Page 18: Topic 5 nutrient acquisition: digestion and transport](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062418/555722e8d8b42a067f8b4b9c/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
The requirement for primary source of carbon energy for degradation of another compund is known as cometabolism.
Addition of glutamate, glutamine or histidine suppressed ligninase activity.
![Page 19: Topic 5 nutrient acquisition: digestion and transport](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062418/555722e8d8b42a067f8b4b9c/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Exoenzymes involve in lignin degradation:
1)Lignin peroxidase and Manganese (Mn) peroxidase.
Contain Fe-heme prosthetic groups. Coooperative action of these leads to
exocellular “combustion” that depolymerizes lignin.
2)Laccase Cu-containing exoocellular benzenediol
oxidase and other phenol oxidase. May acts synergistically with other enzymes. Able to generate H2O2.

TRANSPORT MECHANISM Basic mechanism for communication of cells. Plasmalemma: semipermeable layer of hyphal
surface that regulate flow of material. 2 types of mechanism: passive and active transport Passive transport : movement of substances affect
by gradient concentration. Active transport : substances moves against
concentration gradient which required energy(ATP). Substrate accumulate at higher concentration on
one side of membrane. Accumulation inside hyphae can occur through other
than active transport.
![Page 33: Topic 5 nutrient acquisition: digestion and transport](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062418/555722e8d8b42a067f8b4b9c/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Insoluble sink, immobile binding sites or metabolic sinks may reduce the transport activity( effective concentration) causing net directional movement.
Example: plant cell synthesis oxalic acid causing crystallization of calcium oxalate resulting high accumulation of calcium in cells.
This movement well described in Donnan equilibrium involves formation of immobile ions.
Rapid change such as phosphorylation is the mechanism for accumulation occur in passive transport.
![Page 34: Topic 5 nutrient acquisition: digestion and transport](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062418/555722e8d8b42a067f8b4b9c/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Most substances that move across membrane required help of carrier molecule.There are 3 carrier theory that has been developed.
1. Without carrier molecule, the rate of transport to increase proportionally to
increased external concentration.
2. Carrier-mediated transport are inhibited with some degree of
specificity by substance active in low concentration
3.Similar substances often competitively inhibit transport of the
substrate
![Page 35: Topic 5 nutrient acquisition: digestion and transport](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062418/555722e8d8b42a067f8b4b9c/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Countertransport of these substrate may occur when they are previously loaded into hyphae.
Countertransport is the outward movement of compund in response to the inward movement of substance.
![Page 36: Topic 5 nutrient acquisition: digestion and transport](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062418/555722e8d8b42a067f8b4b9c/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
ENERGY COUPLING IN ACTIVE TRANSPORT
Energy coupling in active transport are partially understood.
However, coupling of ATP hydrolysis to proton transport is generally agreed in which it generates driving force for solute transport [47].
2 types of energy coupling which are direct and indirect
![Page 37: Topic 5 nutrient acquisition: digestion and transport](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062418/555722e8d8b42a067f8b4b9c/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
DIRECT- COUPLING MODELS Energy of ATP hydrolysis is utilized in the
movement of binding proteins or in the dissociation of substrate.
As ATP-dependent conversion of substrate occur, metabolically driven transport occurs by maintain of low internal concentration of substrate.
This is the passive diffusion that behaves like directly coupled active transport since these mechanism required ATP synthesis.
![Page 38: Topic 5 nutrient acquisition: digestion and transport](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062418/555722e8d8b42a067f8b4b9c/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
INDIRECT- COUPLING MODELS These models based on Mitchell hypothesis.
These hypothesis stated that, motive force involves an ATP-generated proton gradient across membrane.
It can be accomplished by a substrate-carrier-proton complex diffusing across the membrane or by molecular gate.
Molecular gate involves protein conformation changes, coupled with proton movement between outer and inner faces of plasmalemma.

MEMBRANE POTENTIALS
Means the differences in charge across the plasma membrane.
Can be affected by: Transportable substrate (potassium,
glucose, or amino acid) caused transient depolorization
Metabolic inhibitors (cyanide)
![Page 42: Topic 5 nutrient acquisition: digestion and transport](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062418/555722e8d8b42a067f8b4b9c/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)

CATION TRANSPORT
Saccharomyces cerevisiaeand Neurosporacrassa have been studied for absorping of mineral ions.
Extensively studied of by using radioisotopes.
Due to methods problem, the study of ammonium ions have been hinder even though it plays important roles in metabolism and metabolic regulation.
Divalent cations in transport mechanisms have been examined to far lesser extent.

POTASSIUM
1. Mechanism transport for Potassium.• Active transport by using permease.• Direct participation of H+-ATPase.• Passive transport by involving Ion
channel.
2. Active transport by using permease.• Active absorption of potassium
occurred depending on the presence of fermentable or respirable substrate.
• The absorption kinetics demonstrated substrate saturation at high concentration following the Mechealis-Menten equation indicating the occurrence of a potassium permease.
![Page 52: Topic 5 nutrient acquisition: digestion and transport](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062418/555722e8d8b42a067f8b4b9c/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
3. Direct participation of H+-ATPase. Other alkali metal ions were transported but with
less affinity for the carrier in the order K+>Rb+>Cs+>Na+>Li+ with relative ratios 100:42:7:4:0.5.
H+ and K+ were about equal in the inward transporting system but the outward transporting system discriminated against K+ in favor of H+ or Na+
4. Passive transport by involving the iron channel.
The presence of K+ channels and ion channels sensitive to mechanical stimuli provide additional mechanisms for K+ transport.
Ion channels are a class of plasmalemma proteins that function as gated pores that allow ions to flow down electrical or chemical gradients.
![Page 53: Topic 5 nutrient acquisition: digestion and transport](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062418/555722e8d8b42a067f8b4b9c/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
• Ion channels that appear in the membrane patches in response to mechanical deformation of the membrane are called mechanosensitive or stretch-activated channels.
• Strectch activated channels have also been proposed to function in tugor regulation.
• Ion channels did not function in active transport, but their presnce adds another factor to consider in the overall transport equation.

AMMONIUM
Ammonium ion has been studied by using methylammonium labeled wit 14C otherwise there was no convenient method for studying this ion.
The use of the methylammonium was difficult due to its toxicity to most fungi.
Both of the ions are using the same transport system because the observation shows that ammonium ion was a potent competitive inhibitor of methylammonium transport.
![Page 56: Topic 5 nutrient acquisition: digestion and transport](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062418/555722e8d8b42a067f8b4b9c/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
In S. cerevisiae ,methylammonium transport occur by a typical carrier-mediated, active transport.
In P. chrysogenum and A. nidulans indicated the presence of a repressible high –affinity system for methylammonium transport that was competitively inhibited by ammonium but unaffected by amino acid which is contrast in the S. cerevisiae.

DIVALENT CATIONS
Divalent cations( Mg²+, Ca²+, Mn²+) will be taken up by carrier-mediated transport system.
Transport occur:1. Simultaneously, with phosphate up take.2. Starved cell will firstly interact with
glucose and phosphate. Potassium will greatly simulate the
transport. Dinitrophenol, azide, and arsenate inhibit it.

ADENOSINE TRIPHOSPHATE (ATP)
The main energy source for active transport of sugar.
The energy cost is one ATP per sugar molecule.
Fermentation of sugar, e.g: glucose produces ATP.
![Page 67: Topic 5 nutrient acquisition: digestion and transport](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062418/555722e8d8b42a067f8b4b9c/html5/thumbnails/67.jpg)
DIFFERENCES BETWEEN ACTIVE AND FACILITATED TRANSPORT
Active transport Facilitated difussion
Required ATP for transportation of molecule.
Does not required ATP, but used the concentration gradient (external > internal) to transport molecule.
**Similarity :Both mechanism use carrier proteins to transfer molecules to and from the cell.

SPECIFIC TRANSPORT SYSTEM FOR SINGLE AMINO ACID
This system has been identified in P. chrysogenum and Achlya.
In S. cerevisiae, it has single general amino acid permease (GAP) with broad affinity, basic amino acid transporter, and a series of specific transporters for individual amino acids.
Fungi seem to be quite individualistic in the organization of their amino acid transport abilities.
![Page 74: Topic 5 nutrient acquisition: digestion and transport](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062418/555722e8d8b42a067f8b4b9c/html5/thumbnails/74.jpg)
Amino acid transport of fungi is an active process.
Anoxia and cyanide are the transport inhibitors in most fungi, showing that endogenous respiration is necessary. However, S. cerevisiae is capable of anaerobic transport.
In P. chrysogenum, uncoupling agents inhibit amino acid transport, but arsenate (phosphate competitor) does not inhibit the transport.

MOLECULES INVOLVED IN THE TRANSPORT PROCESS
Several kinds of evidence suggest that amino acid binding molecules involved in this process.
These include the demonstration that:1. The molecules are associated with the cell
surface or part of the membrane.2. They have the same specificities as the
transport systems. 3. Their removal results in decreased transport
ability of the fungus.4. They are reduced, absent, modified in
transport-deficient mutants.
