ABSTRACT Protein folding is often considered the flux controlling process in protein synthesis and secretion. Here, two previously isolated Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains with increased α-amylase productivity were analyzed in chemostat cultures at different dilution rates using multi-omics data. Based on the analysis, we identified different routes of the protein folding pathway to improve protein production. In the first strain, the increased abundance of proteins working on the folding process, coordinated with upregulated glycogen metabolism and trehalose metabolism, helped increase α-amylase productivity 1.95-fold compared to the level in the original strain in chemostat culture at a dilution rate of 0.2/h. The second strain further strengthened the folding precision to improve protein production. More precise folding helps the cell improve protein production efficiency and reduce the expenditure of energy on the handling of misfolded proteins. As calculated using an enzyme-constrained genome-scale metabolic model, the second strain had an increased productivity of 2.36-fold with lower energy expenditure than that of the original under the same condition. Further study revealed that the regulation of N-glycans played an important role in the folding precision control and that overexpression of the glucosidase Cwh41p can significantly improve protein production, especially for the strains with improved folding capacity but lower folding precision. Our findings elucidated in detail the mechanisms in two strains having improved protein productivity and thereby provided novel insights for industrial recombinant protein production as well as demonstrating how multi-omics analysis can be used for identification of novel strain-engineering targets. IMPORTANCE Protein folding plays an important role in protein maturation and secretion. In recombinant protein production, many studies have focused on the folding pathway to improve productivity. Here, we identified two different routes for improving protein production by yeast. We found that improving folding precision is a better strategy. Dysfunction of this process is also associated with several aberrant protein-associated human diseases. Here, our findings about the role of glucosidase Cwh41p in the precision control system and the characterization of the strain with a more precise folding process could contribute to the development of novel therapeutic strategies.

Modern industrial winemaking is based on the use of starter cultures of specialized wine strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast. Commercial wine strains have a number of advantages over natural isolates, and it is their use that guarantees the stability and reproducibility of industrial winemaking technologies. For the highly competitive wine market with new demands for improved wine quality, it has become increasingly critical to develop new wine strains and winemaking technologies. Novel opportunities for precise wine strain engineering based on detailed knowledge of the molecular nature of a particular trait or phenotype have recently emerged due to the rapid progress in genomic and “postgenomic” studies with wine yeast strains. The review summarizes the current achievements of the metabolic engineering of wine yeast, the results of recent studies and the prospects for the application of genomic editing technologies for improving wine S. cerevisiae strains.
