A novel cysteine desulfurase influencing organosulfur compounds in Lentinula edodes

چکیده
Organosulfur compounds are the basis for the unique aroma of Lentinula edodes, and cysteine sulfoxide lyase (C-S lyase) is the key enzyme in this trait. The enzyme from Alliium sativum has been crystallized and well-characterized; however, there have been no reports of the characterization of fungi C-S lyase at the molecular level. We identified a L. edodes C-S lyase (Lecsl), cloned a gene of Csl encoded Lecsl and then combined modeling, simulations, and experiments to understand the molecular basis of the function of Lecsl. Our analysis revealed Lecsl to be a novel cysteine desulfurase and not a type of cysteine sulfoxide lyase. The pyridoxal-5-phosphate (PLP) molecule bonded tightly to Lecsl to form a Lecsl-PLP complex. Moreover, the Lecsl had one active center that served to bind two kinds of substrates, S-methyl-L-cysteine sulfoxide and L-cysteine, and had both cysteine sulfoxide lyase and cysteine desulfurase activity. We found that the amino acid residue Asn393 was essential for the catalytic activity of Lecsl and that the gene Csl encoded a novel cysteine desulfurase to influence organosulfur compounds in L. edodes. Our results provide a new insight into understanding the formation of the unique aroma of L. edodes.

Reuse of Enzymatic Hydrolyzed Residues from Sugarcane Bagasse to Cultivate Lentinula edodes
In the conversion process of lignocellulose into fuel ethanol, the enzymatic hydrolyzed or fermented lignocellulosic residues are produced as byproducts. In order to further recycle these byproducts, this study used the enzymatic hydrolyzed residues of sugarcane bagasse (EHRSCB) as the media for culturing Lentinula edodes. The sugarcane bagasse (SCB), pretreated by liquid hot water (LHW), was h...

BACKGROUND The aim of the current study was to investigate whether the Basidiomycetes fungus Lentinula edodes can biosynthesize Se-methyl-seleno-l-cysteine, a seleno-amino acid with strong anticancer activity, and to optimize the culture conditions for its biosynthesis. We hypothesize that preparations obtained from Se-methyl-seleno-l-cysteine-enriched mycelia from this medicinal mushroom would...

متن کاملSterol constituents from two edible mushrooms, Lentinula edodes and Tricholoma matsutake.
Two new sterols, (22E)-23-methylergosta-5,7,22-trien-beta-ol (1) and 5alpha,6alpha-epoxy-(22E)-ergosta-8,14,22-triene -3beta,7alpha-diol (2), have been isolated from two edible mushrooms, Lentinula edodes and Tricholoma matsutake, respectively, together with twelve known ones (3-14). The structures of the new compounds were elucidated on the basis of their spectral data.
