Abstract
AbstractStreptococcus thermophilus ASCC 1275 has two chain length determining genes - epsC and epsD- in its eps gene cluster, and produces two times more EPS in sucrose medium than that in glucose and lactose. Hence, we investigated the influence of sugars (glucose, sucrose and lactose), at log phase (5 h) and stationary phase (10 h), on the global proteomics of S. thermophilus 1275 to understand the differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) during EPS production using isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantitation (iTRAQ)-based proteomic analysis. Among 98 DEPs in sucrose medium, most of them were mapped into EPS biosynthesis pathway and other related metabolisms. There was an upregulation of several proteins involved in sugar transport (phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) phosphotransferase system), EPS assembly (epsG1D) and amino acid metabolism (methionine, cysteine/arginine metabolism) in sucrose medium. This study showed that increased EPS production in S. thermophilus 1275 requires a well-co-ordinated regulation of pathway involved in both EPS assembly and amino acid metabolism along with the availability of sugars. Thus, it provided valuable insights into the biosynthesis and regulation of EPS in S. thermophilus 1275, and potential gene targets for understanding high-EPS strains.
