大肠杆菌苹果酸合酶A的酶学和生理功能研究

苹果酸合酶是乙醛酸循环的关键酶之一。E.coli中苹果酸合酶A(malate synthase A,MSA)由aceB基因编码。根据E.coli基因组序列设计引物,利用PCR技术扩增aceB基因,并将其克隆入pET-29b(+),构建了重组表达质粒pET-MSA。经IPTG诱导,MSA在E.coliRosetta(DE3)中获得高效表达。纯化的MSA蛋白的分子量大小约为60 kDa,最适反应pH值和最适温度分别是pH值8.0、30℃。纯化的蛋白质在Mg2+存在时才能发挥最大的活性,其对乙酰辅酶A的Km和Vmax分别是8.07μM和3.6μM/min。此外构建了MSA和苹果酸合酶G(MSG)基因敲除菌株MG::ΔaceB和MG::ΔaceBΔglcB。研究发现缺少MSA的E.coli突变菌株在乙酸中的生长速率要比野生型菌株慢很多,表明MSA对大肠杆菌在乙酸中的生长起着重要作用。MSG虽然能部分补偿MSA的作用,但是包含MSA的乙醛酸旁路是更有效的乙醛酸代谢途径。     

Molecular cloning and sequencing of the merozoite surface antigen 2 gene from Plasmodium falciparum strain FCC-1/HN and expression of the gene in mycobacteria

Strain bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) of Mycobacterium bovis has been used as a live bacterial vaccine to immunize more than 3 billion people against tuberculosis. In an attempt to use this vaccine strain as a vehicle for protective antigens, the gene encoding merozoite surface antigen 2 (MSA2) was amplified from strain FCC-1/HN Plasmodium falciparum genome, sequenced, and expressed in M. bovis BCG under the control of an expression cassette carrying the promoter of heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) from Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The recombinant shuttle plasmid pBCG/MSA2 was introduced into mycobacteria by electroporation, and the recombinant mycobacteria harboring pBCG/MSA2 could be induced by heating to express MSA2; the molecular mass of recombinant MSA2 was about 31 kDa. This first report of expression of the full-length P. falciparum MSA2 gene in BCG provides evidence for use of the HSP70 promoter in expressing a foreign gene in BCG and in development of BCG as a multivalent vectoral vaccine for malaria.     

Volatile organic compounds: a potential direct long-distance mechanism for antagonistic action of Fusarium oxysporum strain MSA 35

Fusarium oxysporum MSA 35 [wild-type (WT) strain] is an antagonistic Fusarium that lives in association with a consortium of bacteria belonging to the genera Serratia, Achromobacter , Bacillus and Stenotrophomonas in an Italian soil suppressive to Fusarium wilt. Typing experiments and virulence tests provided evidence that the F. oxysporum isolate when cured of the bacterial symbionts [the cured (CU) form], is pathogenic, causing wilt symptoms identical to those caused by F. oxysporum f. sp. lactucae . Here, we demonstrate that small volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted from the WT strain negatively influence the mycelial growth of different formae speciales of F. oxysporum. Furthermore, these VOCs repress gene expression of two putative virulence genes in F. oxysporum lactucae strain Fuslat10, a fungus against which the WT strain MSA 35 has antagonistic activity. The VOC profile of the WT and CU fungus shows different compositions. Sesquiterpenes, mainly caryophyllene, were present in the headspace only of WT MSA 35. No sesquiterpenes were found in the volatiles of ectosymbiotic Serratia sp. strain DM1 and Achromobacte r sp. strain MM1. Bacterial volatiles had no effects on the growth of the different ff. spp. of F. oxysporum examined. Hyphae grown with VOC from WT F. oxysporum f. sp. lactucae strain MSA 35 were hydrophobic whereas those grown without VOCs were not, suggesting a correlation between the presence of volatiles in the atmosphere and the phenotype of the mycelium. This is the first report of VOC production by antagonistic F. oxysporum MSA 35 and their effects on pathogenic F. oxysporum. The results obtained in this work led us to propose a new potential direct long-distance mechanism for antagonism by F. oxysporum MSA 35 mediated by VOCs . Antagonism could be the consequence of both reduction of pathogen mycelial growth and inhibition of pathogen virulence gene expression.     

Duplicate copies of genes encoding methanesulfonate monooxygenase in Marinosulfonomonas methylotropha strain TR3 and detection of methanesulfonate utilizers in the environment.

Marinosulfonomonas methylotropha strain TR3 is a marine methylotroph that uses methanesulfonic acid (MSA) as a sole carbon and energy source. The genes from M. methylotropha strain TR3 encoding methanesulfonate monooxygenase, the enzyme responsible for the initial oxidation of MSA to formaldehyde and sulfite, were cloned and sequenced. They were located on two gene clusters on the chromosome of this bacterium. A 5.0-kbp HindIII fragment contained msmA, msmB, and msmC, encoding the large and small subunits of the hydroxylase component and the ferredoxin component, respectively, of the methanesulfonate monooxygenase, while a 6.5-kbp HindIII fragment contained duplicate copies of msmA and msmB, as well as msmD, encoding the reductase component of methanesulfonate. Both sets of msmA and msmB genes were virtually identical, and the derived msmA and msmB sequences of M. methylotropha strain TR3, compared with the corresponding hydroxylase from the terrestrial MSA utilizer Methylosulfonomonas methylovora strain M2 were found to be 82 and 69% identical. The msmA gene was investigated as a functional gene probe for detection of MSA-utilizing bacteria. PCR primers spanning a region of msmA which encoded a unique Rieske [2Fe-2S] binding region were designed. These primers were used to amplify the corresponding msmA genes from newly isolated Hyphomicrobium, Methylobacterium, and Pedomicrobium species that utilized MSA, from MSA enrichment cultures, and from DNA samples extracted directly from the environment. The high degree of identity of these msmA gene fragments, compared to msmA sequences from extant MSA utilizers, indicated the effectiveness of these PCR primers in molecular microbial ecology.     

Stimulation of the growth of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Jatropha curcas</Emphasis> by the plant growth promoting bacterium <Emphasis Type="Italic">Enterobacter cancerogenus</Emphasis> MSA2

A novel Enterobacter cancerogenus MSA2 is a plant growth promoting gamma-proteobacterium that was isolated from the rhizosphere of Jatropha cucas a potentially important biofuel feed stock plant. Based on phenotypic, physiological, biochemical and phylogenetic studies, strain MSA2 could be classified as a member of E. cancerogenus. However, comparisons of characteristics with other known species of the genus Enterobacter suggested that strain MSA2 could be a novel PGPB strain. In vitro studies were carried for the plant growth promoting attribute of this culture. It tested positive for ACC (1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid) deaminase production, phytase, phosphate solubilization, IAA (Indole acetic acid) production, siderophore, and ammonia production. The isolate was then used as a inoculant for the vegetative study of Jatropha curcas plant. Enterobacter cancerogenus MSA2 supplemented with 1% carboxymethylcellulose showed overall plant growth promotion effect resulting in enhanced root length (124.14%), fresh root mass (81%), fresh shoot mass (120.02%), dry root mass (124%), dry shoot mass (105.54%), number of leaf (30.72%), chlorophyll content (50.41%), and biomass (87.20%) over control under the days of experimental observation. This study was designed for 120 days and was in triplicate and the data was collected at every 30 days.     

Insulin-like growth factor II binding to cultured human chondrosarcoma cells

Cultured cells originally derived from a human chondrosarcoma (A1684) were used to investigate somatomedin binding in terms of kinetics and specificity. In this study, the rat somatomedin, multiplication-stimulation activity (MSA) was utilized. While the human chondrosarcoma cells did not exhibit a mitogenic response to MSA, the rate of transport of glucose and amino acids was significantly increased. In competitive binding experiments a specific insulin-insensitive MSA receptor was identified which showed half maximal displacement of tracer at a concentration of 250 ng/ml of MSA using whole cells. This receptor had an affinity constant of 4.8 X 10(7) M-1. Kinetic analysis of MSA binding to membrane preparations and to Triton X-100 solubilized membranes revealed an increase in the binding affinity to 1.28 X 10(8) M-1 and 2.8 X 10(8) M-1, respectively. Of particular significance is the observation that these cells have especially high levels of MSA receptors. Determination of binding capacity revealed that these cells contain approximately 1.9 X 10(6) MSA receptors per cell and therefore are an excellent model system for the characterization and purification of somatomedin receptors. Affinity labeling of the MSA receptor using the chemical crosslinking reagent, disuccinimidyl suberate, confirmed that this receptor was of the type II class of somatomedin receptors and exhibited a molecular weight of 218,000 under nonreducing conditions.     

Coherence and phase analysis of theta-oscillations in the septohippocampal system during seizures

Interrelations of the hippocampus and medial septal area (MSA) in the theta band (4-8 Hz) were studied during seizures produced by electrical kindling in waking guinea pigs. Field activity (EEG) was analyzed using the wavelet transform. A decrease in coherence of theta-oscillations in the hippocampus and MSA was observed during seizures. Phase analysis showed that in the beginning of kindling the MSA led in phase, but after formation of the pathological focus, MSA lagged the hippocampus. The data may contribute to understanding mechanisms of temporal lobe epilepsy.     

The Meat Standards Australia Index indicates beef carcass quality

A simple index that reflects the potential eating quality of beef carcasses is very important for producer feedback. The Meat Standards Australia (MSA) Index reflects variation in carcass quality due to factors that are influenced by producers (hot carcass weight, rib fat depth, hump height, marbling and ossification scores along with milk fed veal category, direct or saleyard consignment, hormonal growth promotant status and sex). In addition, processor impacts on meat quality are standardised so that the MSA Index could be compared across time, breed and geographical regions. Hence, the MSA Index was calculated using achilles hung carcasses, aged for 5 days postmortem. Muscle pH can be impacted by production, transport, lairage or processing factors, hence the MSA Index assumes a constant pH of 5.6 and loin temperature of 7^oC for all carcasses. To quantify the cut weight distribution of the 39 MSA cuts in the carcass, 40 Angus steers were sourced from the low (n=13), high (n=15) and myostatin (n=12) muscling selection lines. The left side of each carcass was processed down to the 39 trimmed MSA cuts. There was no difference in MSA cut distribution between the low and high muscling lines (P>0.05), although there were differences with nine cuts from the myostatin line (P<0.05). There was no difference in the MSA Index calculated using actual muscle percentages and using the average from the low and high muscling lines (R²=0.99). Different cooking methods impacted via a constant offset between eating quality and carcass input traits (R²=1). The MSA Index calculated for the four most commercially important cuts was highly related to the index calculated using all 39 MSA cuts (R²=0.98), whilst the accuracy was lower for an index calculated using the striploin (R²=0.82). Therefore, the MSA Index was calculated as the sum of the 39 eating quality scores predicted at 5 days ageing, based on their most common cooking method, weighted by the proportions of the individual cut relative to total weight of all cuts. The MSA Index provides producers with a tool to assess the impact of management and genetic changes on the predicted eating quality of the carcass. The MSA Index could also be utilised for benchmarking and to track eating quality trends at farm, supply chain, regional, state or national levels.
