- Abstract
In recombinant protein-producing yeast strains, cells experience high production-related stresses similar to high temperatures. It is possible to increase recombinant protein production by enhancing thermotolerance, but few studies have focused on this topic. Here we aim to identify cellular regulators that can simultaneously activate thermotolerance and high yield of recombinant protein. Through screening at 46 °C, a heat-resistant Kluyveromyces marxianus (K. marxianus) strain FDHY23 is isolated. It also exhibits enhanced recombinant protein productivity at both 30 °C and high temperatures. The CYR1N1546K mutation is identified as responsible for FDHY23's improved phenotype, characterized by weakened adenylate cyclase activity and reduced cAMP production. Introducing this mutation into the wild-type strain greatly enhances both thermotolerance and recombinant protein yields. RNA-seq analysis reveals that under high temperature and recombinant protein production conditions, CYR1 mutation-induced reduction in cAMP levels can stimulate cells to improve its energy supply system and optimize material synthesis, meanwhile enhance stress resistance, based on the altered cAMP signaling cascades. Our study provides CYR1 mutation as a novel target to overcome the bottleneck in achieving high production of recombinant proteins under high temperature conditions, and also offers a convenient approach for high-throughput screening of recombinant proteins with high yields. The CYR1 mutation can enhance a strain's thermotolerance and ability to produce high yields of recombinant protein by simultaneously strengthening stress resistance and the energy system through cAMP signalling cascades.
