Involvement of the intracellular β-glucosidase BGL1B from Aspergillus niger in the regulation of lignocellulose-degrading enzymes’ synthesis by Zhen Zhang, Hua Li, Feiyu Dong, Hui Lin, Yanan Li, Kun Cheng, Hongge Chen

“…On the other hand, BGL1B’s transglycosylation products sophorose and laminaribiose were proved to be able to induce the expression of lignocellulose-degrading enzyme genes, which explained why OE::bgl1B showed the same enhanced enzyme activity and gene expression as Δbgl1B strain compared to the starting strain (WT). Conclusions The present study demonstrates that BGL1B plays dual regulatory roles in the regulation of the synthesis of lignocellulose-degrading enzymes in A. niger: the repressive role caused by BGL1B’s hydrolysis product glucose and the induction role caused by BGL1B’s transglycosylation products sophorose and laminaribiose. …”
