OBJECTIVE: To enhance ergot alkaloid production of Claviceps purpurea Cp-1 strain by epigenetic modification approach.
RESULTS: The chemical epigenetic modifiers were screened to promote ergot alkaloid production of the Cp-1 strain. The histone deacetylase inhibitor suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid (SAHA) was found to significantly enhance the alkaloid productivity of the strain. Particularly, the titers of total ergot alkaloids were gradually increased with the increase of SAHA concentration in the fermentation medium, and the highest production of ergot alkaloids could be achieved at the concentration of 500 μM SAHA. Specially, the titers of ergometrine and total ergot alkaloids were as high as 95.4 mg/L and 179.7 mg/L, respectively, which were twice of those of the control. Furthermore, the mRNA expression levels of the most functional genes in the ergot alkaloid synthesis (EAS) gene cluster were up-regulated under SAHA treatment. It was proposed that SAHA might increase histone acetylation in the EAS gene cluster region in the chromosome, which would loosen the chromosome structure, and subsequently up-regulate the mRNA expression levels of genes involved in the biosynthesis of ergot alkaloids, thereby resulting in the markedly increase in the production of ergot alkaloids.
CONCLUSIONS: The ergot alkaloid production by the C. purpurea Cp-1 strain can be effectively increased by the application of histone deacetylase inhibitor. Our work provides a reference for using the chemical epigenetic modifiers to improve SM production in other fungi.
