To achieve high expression of glycoside hydrolase family 45 endoglucanase (RsSym45EG1) from a symbiotic protist of the termite Reticulitermes speratus, synthetic sequence RsSym45eg1-co, in which the codon usage was adjusted to that of the highly-expressed tef1 gene encoding translation elongation factor 1alpha, was prepared and introduced into A. oryzae. The transcript level of RsSym45eg1-co was 1.8-fold higher than that of RsSym45eg1. In cells harboring RsSym45eg1, but not RsSym45eg1-co, truncated transcripts in which the coding region was prematurely terminated and followed by a poly A chain were found. The production of endoglucanase in the culture supernatant was improved by codon optimization. Truncated transcripts were also found when cellobiohydrolase and beta-glucosidase from R. speratus symbionts were expressed, and the transcript level of the former was increased by codon-optimization. Our findings suggest that premature polyadenylation frequently occurs in heterologous protein expression in A. oryzae, which might result in the poor yield of expressed proteins.

Codon optimization prevents premature polyadenylation of heterologously-expressed cellulases from termite-gut symbionts in Aspergillus oryzae
