根据已知α-淀粉酶编码基因保守区核苷酸序列,通过PCR和反向PCR技术克隆出Bacillus licheniformisCICIM B0204α-淀粉酶编码基因amyL全长序列及其上下游序列。B.licheniformisCICIM B0204amyL由1539bp组成,其上游180bp为启动子序列,下游160bp为终止子序列;成熟肽由512个氨基酸残基组成,氨基端的29个氨基酸残基为α-淀粉酶的信号肽。通过基因及其氨基酸序列比对发现,amyL及其编码产物与芽孢杆菌来源的α-淀粉酶具有高度相似性。将amyL的结构基因在PT7介导下于大肠杆菌中诱导表达,获得具有α-淀粉酶活性的表达产物。将amyL的启动子序列和信号肽序列与B.licheniformisCICIM B2004的β-甘露聚糖酶结构基因进行读框内重组,在大肠杆菌中获得了β-甘露聚糖酶的分泌表达,重组大肠杆菌表达295U/mL的β-甘露聚糖酶酶活。     

信号肽序列及其在蛋白质表达中的应用

信号肽在蛋白分泌的过程中起重要作用,分泌性蛋白质合成后由信号肽引导其穿过合成所在的细胞到其他组织细胞中。可以利用因特网在线工具和信号序列捕获系统来判定基因序列中是否含有信号肽序列。外源蛋白的表达形式多为细胞内不溶性表达(包涵体),少数为细胞外分泌表达。利用信号肽来引导外源蛋白分泌可避免因包涵体复性带来的困难。研究表明,多种外源基因连接上信号肽后在原核表达系统如大肠杆菌、L型细菌、芽孢杆菌和乳酸杆菌中等都得到了分泌表达;信号肽也广泛应用于真核表达系统如毕赤酵母和昆虫杆状病毒表达系统,以提高蛋白的表达量。     

编码人生长激素的DNA序列在大肠杆菌中的直接表达

Isolation of a cDNA fragment coding for Chlamydomonas reinhardtii ferredoxin and expression of the recombinant protein in Escherichia coli

A cDNA clone coding for mature C. reinhardtii ferredoxin has been isolated from a cDNA library using PCR and two oligonucleotide primers based on the N- and C-termini of the protein's amino acid sequence. The nucleotidic sequence of the PCR fragment (299 bp) agreed well with the amino acid sequence since a single conservative substitution (Thr-7 to Ser) could be deduced. The PCR fragment was inserted into the expression vector pTrc 99A, using the incorporated NcoI and BamHI restriction sites and the construction used to transform E. coli (DH5α F′). After subsequent large scale expression and purification of the recombinant protein, biochemical and biophysical analysis have indicated that the product isolated from E. coli is homologous to native ferredoxin isolated from green algae.

Molecular cloning of the phospholipase D gene from <Emphasis Type="Italic">Streptomyces</Emphasis> sp. YU100 and its expression in <Emphasis Type="Italic">Escherichia coli</Emphasis>

The gene for phospholipase D (PLD) of Streptomyces sp. YU100 was cloned from λ phage library and hetero-logously expressed in Escherichia coli. Using an amplified gene fragment based on the consensus sequences of streptomycetes PLDs, λ phage library of Streptomyces sp. YU100 chromosomal DNA was screened. The sequencing result of BamHI-digested 3.8 kb fragment in a positive phage clone revealed the presence of an open reading frame of a full sequence of PLD gene encoding a 540-amino acid protein including 33-amino acid signal peptide. The deduced amino acid sequence showed a high homology with other Streptomyces PLDs, having the highly conserved ‘HKD’ motifs. The PLD gene excluding signal peptide sequence was amplified and subcloned into a pET-32b(+) expression vector in E. coli BL21(DE3). The recombinant PLD was purified by nickel affinity chromatography and compared the enzyme activity with wild-type PLD. The results imply that the recombinant PLD produced by E. coli had the nearly same enzyme activity as PLD from Streptomyces sp. YU100.     

Genetic analysis of glyphosate tolerance in Halomonas variabilis strain HTG7

Summary A highly glyphosate-tolerant bacterium strain HTG₇ was isolated from glyphosate-polluted soil in north China, and identified as Halomonas variabilis. It was a Gram-negative motile rod giving convex colony. The strain HTG₇ could tolerate up to 900 mM glyphosate in minimal medium. The 16S rDNA sequence was amplified by PCR using universal primers. The region essential for glyphosate tolerance was localized to a 3.5-kb fragment from a cosmid library of HTG₇. The DNA fragment consisted of one complete open reading frame (ORF) and one partial ORF. The partial ORF was homologous to prephenate dehydrogenase of Pseudomonas aeruginosa PA01. The complete ORF contained the tyrA and aroA genes. Only the 1.35-kb aroA encoding EPSP synthase conferred glyphosate tolerance, and complemented with E. coli aroA mutant ER2799. E. coli JM109 harboring aroA grew well in Mops supplemented with 80 mM glyphosate.

Secretion of heterologous cyclodextrin glycosyltransferase of Bacillus sp. E1 from Escherichia coli

Summary To characterize the molecular properties of CGTase from alkalophilic Bacillus sp. E1 (BCGTE1), a genomic clone for a CGTase was isolated. Expression of recombinant BCGTE1 in E. coli was analyzed by immunoblotting. It showed that the nascent recombinant BCGTE1 expressed was 87 kDa but it was processed into the mature enzyme of 81 kDa. With the process it was secreted predominantly into the culture medium via periplasmic space. This feature is different from other Bacillus CGTases expressed in E. coli, which were present mostly in the periplasmic space.

Cloning, sequencing, and expression of a β-1,4-endoxylanase gene from Indonesian Bacillus licheniformis strain I5 in Escherichia coli

The gene encoding an endo-β-1,4-xylanase from an Indonesian indigenous Bacillus licheniformis strain I5 was amplified using PCR, cloned, and expressed in Escherichia coli. The nucleotide sequence of a 642 bp DNA fragment was determined, revealing one open reading frame that encoded a xylanase. Based on the nucleotide sequence, calculated molecular mass of the enzyme was 23 kDa. This xylanase has a predicted typical putative signal peptide; however, in E. coli, the active protein was located mainly in intracellular form. Neither culture supernatant of recombinant E. coli nor periplasmic fraction has significantly detectable xylanase activity. The deduced amino acid of the gene has 91% identity with that of Bacillus subtilis endoxylanase. Optimal activity of the recombinant enzyme was at pH 7 and 50°C     

Analysis of yeast prp20 mutations and functional complementation by the human homologue RCC1, a protein involved in the control of chromosome condensation

Summary A DNA fragment that codes for the 364 amino-terminal amino acid residues of a putative Bacillus subtilis SecA homologue has been cloned using the Escherichia coli SecA gene as a probe. The deduced amino acid sequence showed 58% identity to the aminoterminus of the E. coli SecA protein. A DNA fragment which codes for 275 amino-terminal amino acid residues of the B. subtilis SecA homologue was expressed in E. coli and the corresponding gene product was shown to be recognized by anti-E. coli SecA antibodies. This polypeptide, although only about 30% the size of the E. coli SecA protein, also restored growth of E. coli MM52 (secA ^ts) at the non-permissive temperature and the translocation defect of proOmpA in this mutant was relieved to a substantial extent.     

An Escherichia coli strain deficient for both exonuclease V and deoxycytidine triphosphate deaminase shows enhanced sensitivity to ionizing radiation

An Escherichia coli mutant lacking deoxycytidine triphosphate deaminase (Dcd) activity and an unknown function encoded by a gene designated ior exhibits sensitivity to ionizing radiation whereas dcd mutants themselves are not sensitive. A DNA fragment from an E. coli genomic library that restores the wild type level of UV and gamma ray resistance to this mutant has been cloned in the multicopy vector pBR322. Comparison of its restriction map with the physical map of the E. coli chromosome revealed complete identity to the recBD genes. ior affects ATP-dependent exonuclease activity, suggesting that it is an allele of recB. This mutation alone does not confer sensitivity to UV and gamma radiation, indicating that lack of Dcd activity is also required for expression of radiation sensitivity.
