●Aspergillus oryzae is a filamentous fungus used for the production of Japanese traditional fermented foods, and has recently been used as a host organism for the production of useful proteins and chemical compounds. In this lecture, the regulatory mechanisms of gene expression levels and cellular response mechanisms during high-level production of proteins in eukaryotic microorganisms, especially A. oryzae, will be explained.
Expected Learning
●Can explain the features and applications of A. oryzae.
●Can explain the transcriptional regulatory mechanism of hydrolytic enzyme genes used as high-level expression promoter in eukaryotic microorganisms.
●Can explain the regulatory mechanisms of gene expression levels by post-transcriptional processes and endoplasmic reticulum stress responses in eukaryotic microorganisms.
●Please refer to the curriculum map in the course guide.
Course schedule
●Features and applications of A. oryzae.
●Regulatory mechanism of hydrolytic enzymes gene expression.
●Regulatory mechanisms of mRNA levels in post-transcriptional processes.
●Endoplasmic reticulum stress response in eukaryotic microorganisms
Prerequisites
