Identification of proteins expressed by the root-rot fungus Heterobasidion annosum when growing on lignocellulose
The Root-rot fungus, Heterobasidion annosum, is a major pathogen on spruce and pine trees and is estimated to cause up to 20 % production loss in the forest industry in the temperate region. The genome of H. annosum has recently been sequenced and a total of ~280 carbohydrate-active enzymes have bee...

| description | The Root-rot fungus, Heterobasidion annosum, is a major pathogen on spruce and pine trees and is estimated to cause up to 20 % production loss in the forest industry in the temperate region. The genome of H. annosum has recently been sequenced and a total of ~280 carbohydrate-active enzymes have been predicted so far. The fungus is apparently an efficient wood degrader and may produce enzymes of interest for enzymatic saccharification of cellulose for biofuel production. The aim of this study was to see which major enzymes that are expressed and utilized. The strain that was sequenced, H. annosum TC-32-1, was grown in minimal medium with different lignocelluloses as carbon source. Extracellular proteins from one culture with spruce as carbon source were detected in electrophoresis after separation by cation and anion exchange chromatography. Proteins were identified by tryptic peptide mapping using MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. We have identified 15 proteins so far which included 1 polysaccharide lyase, 10 glycoside hydrolases and 4 hypothetical proteins. Cellulase activity measurements were carried out using p-hydroxybenzoic acid hydrazide (PHBAH) as reagent for reducing sugar. One Cel7 enzyme was identified as the most expressed protein, and showed the highest cellulase activity. |
