[目的]σ因子是细菌RNA聚合酶全酶的重要组分,包括必须σ因子和选择性σ因子.SigF作为重要的选择性σ因子影响结核分枝杆菌(Mycobacterium tuberculosis)的致病性和毒力等重要的功能.与之对应的在非致病性、快速生长的分枝杆菌耻垢分枝杆菌(M.smegmatis)中,sigF的调控可能与其适应一定的生理环境相关.[方法]通过基因敲除、遗传互补和抗药性分析,系统的研究了耻垢分枝杆菌SigF的应答调控.[结果]sigF敲除菌株与野生菌相比,对过氧化氢特别敏感,并且这种敏感性能够通过反式互补野生型的基因得到回复 ;由于细菌体内的抗氧化能力与耐药性有较高的相关性,进一步分析sigF敲除菌株的抗药性和抗氧化相关基因的表达情况,显示SigF影响细菌清除过氧化氢的能力,但是并不影响包括异烟肼等药物的敏感性及与异烟肼敏感性相关基因的表达.[结论]SigF调控的活性氧胁迫应答途径与异烟肼活化的氧化胁迫应答途径不同.另外,实验显示SigF参与了耻垢分枝杆菌的色素的合成,提示SigF参与的是光氧化胁迫应答途径,与药物引起的氧化胁迫应答途径是不同的通路.  相似文献

细菌在翻译过程中,mRNA受到损伤(如缺失终止密码子)时会使翻译提前终止,导致核糖体熄火,细菌自身会启动核糖体拯救途径。由tmRNA-SmpB介导的反式翻译系统是结核分枝杆菌中的核糖体拯救途径,对结核分枝杆菌的生长繁殖有重大影响。为探究分枝杆菌中反式翻译途径的启动及其功能特点,本研究选取耻垢分枝杆菌为实验菌株,分别以mCherry和egfp作为报告基因,通过在报告基因3′端添加大肠埃希菌终止子序列,构建能在菌体中反映反式翻译表达的报告体系,并初步探究该体系中报告基因的动态表达特点。结果显示,相比正常表达mCherry的对照菌株,实验菌株中表达的错误mCherry蛋白很快被水解,菌体颜色均明显浅于前者,增强绿色荧光蛋白(enhanced green fluorescent protein,EGFP)定量检测数据也显示错误EGFP水平显著低于正常表达的EGFP水平,表明两种反式翻译报告体系均构建成功。报告基因的动态表达数据显示,蛋白出现翻译异常时,耻垢分枝杆菌可在蛋白翻译过程中快速启动反式翻译途径,并于40~45h将不成熟错误蛋白完全水解。本研究构建的反式翻译报告体系可为后续开展分枝杆菌反式翻译途径的功能研究及抗结核药物筛选提供帮助。  相似文献

采用乙酸乙酯在中性条件下萃取绿茶,得到含有表没食子儿茶素没食子酸酯(Epigallocatechin gallate,EGCG)的粗提物。通过纸片琼脂扩散法和细菌生长曲线来评价绿茶粗提物对耻垢分枝杆菌的抑菌效果,利用透射电子显微镜(Transmission electron microscopy,TEM)观察其对耻垢分枝杆菌细胞壁结构的影响。结果显示,绿茶粗提物对耻垢分枝杆菌生长产生明显抑制作用,且抑菌作用随着浓度的升高逐渐加强;经绿茶粗提物处理的耻垢分枝杆菌细胞壁呈现膨出、变形等形态学变化。因此,绿茶粗提物具有抑制耻垢分枝杆菌生长的功能,其作用机制可能与其主要成分EGCG影响细胞壁肽聚糖的生物合成有关。  相似文献

结核病的致病菌结核分枝杆菌(Mycobacterium tuberculosis)在宿主内面临着多种氧化胁迫环境因子的压力,因而进化形成了一系列自己的抗氧化生长机制。转录因子作为细菌快速响应外界环境的重要因子,通过调控其靶基因的表达来帮助细菌适应环境胁迫如抗氧化等。然而,目前分枝杆菌(Mycobacterium)中有关转录因子调控细菌抗氧化生长的分子机制还不是十分清楚。本研究以耻垢分枝杆菌(Mycobacterium smegmatis)作为模式菌株,发现了转录因子FboR调控分枝杆菌的抗氧化能力并检测了相关重组菌株的抗氧化生长情况,证实了FboR负调控细菌的抗氧化能力。随后通过转录组测序分析、凝胶阻滞实验(electrophoretic mobility shift assay, EMSA)、实时定量PCR(real-time quantitative PCR, RT-qPCR)和β-半乳糖苷酶活性检测鉴定了影响细菌抗氧化生长的相关靶基因,成功解析了具体的调控通路与分子机制。  相似文献

Thiolases are important in fatty‐acid degradation and biosynthetic pathways. Analysis of the genomic sequence of Mycobacterium smegmatis suggests the presence of several putative thiolase genes. One of these genes appears to code for an SCP‐x protein. Human SCP‐x consists of an N‐terminal domain (referred to as SCP2 thiolase) and a C‐terminal domain (referred as sterol carrier protein 2). Here, the cloning, expression, purification and crystallization of this putative SCP‐x protein from M. smegmatis are reported. The crystals diffracted X‐rays to 2.5 Å resolution and belonged to the triclinic space group P1. Calculation of rotation functions using X‐ray diffraction data suggests that the protein is likely to possess a hexameric oligomerization with 32 symmetry which has not been observed in the other six known classes of this enzyme.  相似文献

Crystallization of MutT2, MSMEG_5148 from Mycobacterium smegmatis, has been carried out and the crystals have been characterized using X‐ray diffraction. Matthews coefficient calculation suggests the possibility of one protein molecule in the asymmetric unit of the orthorhombic unit cell, space group P21212 or P2122. Solution of the structure of the protein by molecular replacement using the known three‐dimensional structure of a bacterial Nudix hydrolase is envisaged.  相似文献

Short-term treatment of cultured HGT-1 cells with histamine produced a time-dependent (half-life: 20 min) and homologous desensitization of histamine H2 receptor activity mediating cAMP generation in HGT-1 cells and gastric acid secretion in normal gastric mucosa. Histamine treatment resulted in loss of response of the adenylate cyclase to histamine in purified plasma membranes, but had no effect on basal, vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP)- or NaF-stimulated enzyme activities. We propose that the desensitization of gastric histamine H2 receptor by histamine evidenced in cellular or subcellular preparations from HGT-1 cells could be involved in the physiological regulation and pharmacological control of gastric cell function in man.  相似文献

HisC2 from Mycobacterium tuberculosis was overexpressed in M. smegmatis and purified to homogeneity using nickel–nitrilotriacetic acid metal‐affinity and gel‐filtration chromatography. Diffraction‐quality crystals were grown using the hanging‐drop vapour‐diffusion technique from a condition consisting of 7 mg ml−1 HisC2 (in 20 mM Tris pH 8.8, 50 mM NaCl and 5% glycerol), 1 M succinic acid pH 7.0, 0.1 M HEPES pH 7.0 and 1%(w/v) polyethylene glycol monomethyl ether 2000. The crystals belonged to the orthorhombic space group P21212, with unit‐cell parameters a = 255.98, b = 77.09, c = 117.97 Å. X‐ray diffraction data were recorded to 2.45 Å resolution from a single crystal using the in‐house X‐ray facility.  相似文献

Aims: The objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of microcalorimetry in rapid detection of mycobacterium species using an inexpensive Isothermal microcalorimetry (IMC) instrument. In addition, we compared microcalorimetry with conventional monitoring techniques. Methods and Results: Isothermal microcalorimetry measures heat production rate and can provide rapid detection of living mycobacteria in clinical specimens. Using liquid medium showed that bacterial activity measured by IMC using a TAM Air® agreed with the triphenyl tetrazolium chloride (TTC) assay. Using solid medium to enhance growth, fast‐growing mycobacteria detection was achieved between 26 and 53 h and slow‐growing mycobacteria detection was achieved between 54 and 298 h. In addition, the calorimetric data were analysed to estimate the growth rate and generation time of the mycobacteria monitored. Significance and Impact of the Study: Infections caused by mycobacteria are severe and difficult to treat. With 9·27 million new cases of tuberculosis in 2007, developing countries experience severe health and economic consequences owing to the lack of an affordable, fast detection method. Research‐grade IMC instruments are too expensive to use in developing countries. Our study demonstrates that less‐expensive instruments such as the TAM air ® are adequate for mycobacteria detection and therefore establishes a clear proof of concept.  相似文献

The gene encoding of an alcohol dehydrogenase C (ADHC) from Mycobacterium smegmatis was cloned and sequenced. The protein encoded by this gene has 78% identity with Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Mycobacterium bovis BCG ADHC. The M. smegmatis ADHC was purified from M. smegmatis and the kinetic parameters of this enzyme showed that using NADPH as electron donor it has a strong preference for aliphatic and aromatic aldehyde substrates. Like the M. bovis BCG ADHC, this enzyme is more likely to act as an aldehyde reductase than as an alcohol dehydrogenase. The discovery of such an ADHC in a fast-growing, and easily engineered mycobacterial species opens the way to the utilisation of this M. smegmatis enzyme as a convenient model for the study of the physiological role of this alcohol dehydrogenase in mycobacteria.  相似文献

The aerobic fast-growing Mycobacterium smegmatis has, like its slow-growing pathogenic counterpart M. tuberculosis, the capability to adapt to anaerobiosis by shifting down to a drug resistant dormant state. Here, we report the identification of the first enzyme, l-alanine dehydrogenase, whose specific activity is increased during dormancy development in M. smegmatis. This mycobacterial enzyme activity was previously identified as the 40-kDa antigen in M. tuberculosis and shows a preference for the reductive amination of pyruvate to alanine at physiological pH. The determination of the temporal profile of alanine dehydrogenase activity during dormancy development showed that the activity stayed at a low baseline level during the initial aerobic exponential growth phase (0.7 mU mg−1 min−1). After termination of aerobic growth, alanine dehydrogenase activity increased rapidly 5-fold. As oxygen becomes more and more limiting, the enzyme activity declined until it reached a level about two-third that of the peak value. The strong induction immediately after deflection from aerobic growth suggests that alanine might be required for the adaptation from aerobic growth to anaerobic dormancy. As alanine synthesis is coupled to NADH oxidation, we propose that the induction of alanine dehydrogenase activity might also support the maintenance of the NAD pool when oxygen as a terminal electron acceptor becomes limiting.  相似文献
