木薯α-羟腈酶的克隆、表达及其初步应用

木薯α-羟腈酶是一种催化羟腈化合物分解和合成的裂解酶,它在不对称合成手性羟腈化合物和手性药物等方面具有广泛的应用前景。通过RT-PCR从木薯叶组织总RNA中扩增出α-羟腈酶基因的cDNA序列,并将其克隆于质粒pPIC9K。序列分析表明,克隆的基因和文献报道的3个木薯羟腈酶的cDNA序列不完全一致,可能是木薯羟腈酶基因家族的新成员。通过一系列步骤,将获得的α-羟腈酶基因cDNA序列插入表达载体pET30a,在大肠杆菌获得高效表达。每升发酵液获得2100单位的羟腈酶,粗酶液的比活为8.5u/mg蛋白质,并首次利用热变性法纯化重组羟腈酶。重组羟腈酶催化合成的(S)扁桃腈的ee值达95.2%,转化率为98.2%。

Arginine utilization by Mycoplasma fermentans is not regulated by glucose metabolism: A 13C-NMR study

Abstract Electrofusion of protoplasts of two mutant strains of Hansenula polymorpha resulted in high fusion and hybrid yields when the calcium ions present in the conventional fusion medium replaced by zinc ions. The optimal fusion conditions were an alignment field of 0.4 kV cm⁻¹ strength and 2 MHz frequency for 30 s, followed by two consecutive pulses of 12 kV cm⁻¹ strength and 15 μs duration. With 0.05–0.1 mM zinc ions in the fusion medium an average clone number of 10⁴–10⁵ clones per 10⁸ input cells was reached. The presence of about 0.6 mM magnesium ions in the zinc fusion medium was essential.     

The Hansenula polymorpha (strain CBS4732) genome sequencing and analysis

The methylotrophic yeast Hansenula polymorpha is a recognised model system for investigation of peroxisomal function, special metabolic pathways like methanol metabolism, of nitrate assimilation or thermostability. Strain RB11, an odc1 derivative of the particular H. polymorpha isolate CBS4732 (synonymous to ATCC34438, NRRL-Y-5445, CCY38-22-2) has been developed as a platform for heterologous gene expression. The scientific and industrial significance of this organism is now being met by the characterisation of its entire genome. The H. polymorpha RB11 genome consists of approximately 9.5 Mb and is organised as six chromosomes ranging in size from 0.9 to 2.2 Mb. Over 90% of the genome was sequenced with concomitant high accuracy and assembled into 48 contigs organised on eight scaffolds (supercontigs). After manual annotation 4767 out of 5933 open reading frames (ORFs) with significant homologies to a non-redundant protein database were predicted. The remaining 1166 ORFs showed no significant similarity to known proteins. The number of ORFs is comparable to that of other sequenced budding yeasts of similar genome size.

Evidence for multiple nitrate uptake systems in the yeast Hansenula polymorpha

Hansenula polymorpha mutants disrupted in the high-affinity nitrate transporter gene (YNT1) are still able to grow in nitrate. To detect the nitrate transporter(s) responsible for this growth a strain containing disruption of the nitrate assimilation gene cluster and expressing nitrate reductase gene (YNR1) under the control of H. polymorpha MOX1 (methanol oxidase) promoter was used (FM31 strain). In this strain nitrate taken up is transformed into nitrite by nitrate reductase and excreted to the medium where it is easily detected. Nitrate uptake which is neither induced by nitrate nor repressed by reduced nitrogen sources was detected in the FM31 strain. Likewise, nitrate uptake detected in the strain FM31 is independent of both Ynt1p and Yna1p and is not affected by ammonium, glutamine or chlorate. The inhibition of nitrite extrusion by extracellular nitrite suggests that the nitrate uptake system shown in the FM31 strain could also be involved in nitrite uptake.

Isolation of mutants of Hansenula polymorpha defective in the assembly of octameric alcohol oxidase

Alcohol oxidase (AO) is a peroxisomal enzyme that catalyses the first step in methanol metabolism in yeast. Monomeric, inactive AO protein is synthesised in the cytosol and subsequently imported into peroxisomes, where the enzymatically active, homo-octameric form is found. The mechanisms involved in AO octamer assembly are largely unclear. Here we describe the isolation of Hansenula polymorpha mutants specifically affected in AO assembly. These mutants are unable to grow on methanol and display reduced AO activities. Based on their phenotypes, three major classes of mutants were isolated. Three additional mutants were isolated that each displayed a unique phenotype. Complementation analysis revealed that the isolated AO assembly mutants belonged to 10 complementation groups.

Effects of methanol on expression of an anticoagulant hirudin in recombinant Hansenula polymorpha

A series of batch, fed-batch, and continuous cultures was carried out to analyze the effects of methanol on the fermentation characteristics of recombinant Hansenula polymorpha for the production of hirudin, an anticoagulant. Hirudin expression efficiencies were greatly influenced by the methanol concentrations in continuous and fed-batch culture modes. At a steady state of continuous culture, an optimum methanol concentration of 1.7 g l⁻¹ was determined at a dilution rate of 0.18 h⁻¹ with 1.8 mg l⁻¹ h⁻¹ hirudin productivity.
