A silent antifungal protein (AFP)-like gene lacking two introns in the mould Trichoderma viride

In cells of the mould Trichoderma viride, the existence of an antifungal protein (AFP)-like gene consisting of 285 bp was confirmed by Southern analysis that genomic DNA of T. viride could hybridize with the cDNA of mature AFP of Aspergillus giganteus MDH 18894. Except for the absence of two introns, the nucleotide sequence of the AFP-like gene was identical to that of the AFP gene of A. giganteus in positions 336-479, 568-649, and 706-765. The AFP-like gene could not be transcribed into its mRNA in T. viride cells as examined by RT-PCR using total RNAs of T. viride as template. Furthermore, AFP could not be detected either directly from the culture medium of T. viride or by Western analysis. However, the AFP-like gene could be actively expressed like the cDNA of AFP in Escherichia coli cell. Recombinant AFP exhibited similar antifungal activity as native AFP.     

High-level expression of extracellular secretion of a β-xylosidase gene from Paecilomyces thermophila in Escherichia coli

A novel β-xylosidase gene (designated as PtXyl43) from thermophilic fungus Paecilomycesthermophila was cloned and extracellularly expressed in Escherichia coli. PtXyl43 belonging to glycoside hydrolase (GH) family 43 has an open reading frame of 1017 bp, encoding 338 amino acids without a predicted signal peptide. No introns were found by comparison of the PtXyl43 genomic DNA and cDNA sequences. The recombinant β-xylosidase (PtXyl43) was secreted into the culture medium in E. coli with a yield of 98.0 U mL(-1) in shake-flask cultures. PtXyl43 was purified 1.2-fold to homogeneity with a recovery yield of 61.5% from the cell-free culture supernatant. It appeared as a single protein band on SDS-PAGE with a molecular mass of approx 52.3 kDa. The enzyme exhibited an optimal activity at 55 °C and pH 7.0, respectively. This is the first report on the cloning and expression of a GH family 43 β-xylosidase gene from thermophilic fungi.     

Molecular cloning and characterization of a putative protein kinase gene from the thermophilic fungus Thermomyces lanuginosus.

Based on the conserved amino acid sequence (DLKPEN) of serine-threonine protein kinase from several fungi, a degenerate primer was designed and synthesized. Total RNA was isolated from the thermophilic fungus Thermomyces lanuginosus. Using RACE-PCR, full-length cDNA of a putative serine-threonine protein kinase gene was cloned from T. lanuginosus. The full-length cDNA of T. lanuginosus protein kinase was 2551 bp and contained an 1806 bp open reading frame encoding a putative protein kinase precursor of 601 amino acid residues. Sequencing analysis showed that the cloned cDNA of T. lanuginosus had consensus protein kinase sequences. Conservative amino acid subdomains which most serine-threonine kinases contain can be found in the deduced amino acid sequence of T. lanuginosus putative protein kinase. Comparison results showed that the deduced amino acid sequence of T. lanuginosus putative protein kinase was highly homologous to that of Neurospora crassa dis1-suppressing protein kinase Dsk1. The putative protein kinase contained three arginine/serine-rich (SR) regions and two transmembrane domains. These showed that it might be a novel putative serine-threonine protein kinase.     

Cloning and expression of xylanase 10 from Cryptovalsa mangrovei (BCC7197) in Pichia pastoris.

Xylanases are one of the industrially valuable enzymes. Using RT-PCR and 5'- and 3'-RACE procedures, we have cloned a full-length xylanase encoding gene from a filamentous fungus, Cryptovalsa mangrovei (BCC7197) from Phuket, Thailand. The results showed that BCC7197 xylanase cDNA has an open reading frame of 978 bp encoding 325 amino acid residues. Further sequence analysis revealed that this xylanase gene is belonged to the glycosyl hydrolase family 10 and has approximately 50-60% amino acid sequence similarity to other fungal xylanases. Furthermore, expression of BCC7197 xylanase in the Pichia pastoris was also performed. The results demonstrated that the active BCC7197 xylanase protein was successfully produced and secreted from P. pastoris.
