Abstract
The mechanism of pyruvate-underproduction of aneuploid sake yeast was investigated in this study. In our previous report, we revealed that an increase in chromosome XI decreases pyruvate productivity of sake yeast. In this report, we found that increased copy number of CCP1, which is located on chromosome XI and encodes cytochrome-c peroxidase, decreased the pyruvate productivity of sake yeasts. Introducing an extra copy of CCP1 activated respiratory metabolism governed by Hap4 and increased reactive oxygen species. Therefore, it was concluded that increased copy number of CCP1 on chromosome XI activated respiratory metabolism and decreased pyruvate levels in an aneuploid sake yeast. This is the first report that describes a mechanism underlying the improvement of brewery yeast by chromosomal aneuploidy.
