三个与agropine合成相关的基因在大肠杆菌微细胞中的表达

pTiAch 5 TR区与在植物中积累agropine相关的三个基因片段已导入pINIIA或pACYC184,在大肠杆菌微细胞中表达出杂合蛋白。三个基因片段的pINIIA重组质粒的表达得到稳定蛋白、不稳定蛋白和在两个相表达出相似蛋白的三种结果。基因2'HindⅢ片段上的UGAA序列是在两个相表达相似蛋白的原因。从产生的杂合蛋白分子量和读码方式看,pTiAch 5中基因2'和基因1'的结构与pTi 15955近似,但由基因0'片段产生的杂合蛋白分子量比根据pTi15955 DNA序列数据推测的稍大。从表达强度和微细胞操作看,这个系统还不适应从大肠杆菌中方便地纯化杂合蛋白的需要。     

5′端非翻译区对LT-B基因表达的影响

mRNA5＇端非翻译区的不同结构可影响基因表达,为了改善编码人毒素源性大肠杆菌热敏感肠毒素B亚单位的LT-B基因的表达水平,我们把该基因置于pBV220载体的P_RP_L串联启动子下游,构建了带有不同核苷酸组成的5＇端非翻译区的重组体。这些重组体分别在大肠杆菌HB101和DH5α中表达。结果表明,起始密码前有两个连续串联SD序列的LT-B基因的表达水平低于只有单个SD序列下的表达水平,而翻译偶联可使表达改善;用不同的SD序列LT-B基因的表达水平也有所不同,用基因本身SD序列可能要比用pBV220P_L启动子下游的SD序列好;在只含单个LT-B基因SD序列的重组体中,5＇端非翻译区序列的长短对LT-B基因表达没有什么影响;重组体在HB101中的表达水平高于在DH5α中的表达水平。

Differential adhesion of major surface proteins 1a and 1b of the ehrlichial cattle pathogen Anaplasma marginale to bovine erythrocytes and tick cells

Anaplasma marginale is a tick-borne ehrlichial pathogen of cattle for which six major surface proteins (MSPs) have been described. The MSP1 complex, a heterodimer composed of MSP1a and MSP1b, was shown to induce a protective immune response in cattle and both proteins have been identified as putative adhesins for bovine erythrocytes. In this study the role of MSP1a and MSP1b as adhesins for bovine erythrocytes and tick cells was defined. msp1alpha and msp1beta1 genes from the Oklahoma isolate of A. marginale were cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli K-12 under the control of endogenous and tac promoters for both low and high level protein expression. Expression of the recombinant polypeptides was confirmed and localised on the surface of transformed E. coli. The adhesion properties of MSP1a and MSP1b were determined by allowing recombinant E. coli expressing these surface polypetides to react with bovine erythrocytes, Dermacentor variabilis gut cells and cultured tick cells derived from embryonic Ixodes scapularis. Adhesion of the recombinant E. coli to the three cell types was determined using recovery adhesion and microtiter haemagglutination assays, and by light and electron microscopy. MSP1a was shown by all methods tested to be an adhesin for bovine erythrocytes and both native and cultured tick cells. In contrast, recombinant E. coli expressing MSP1b adhered only to bovine erythrocytes and not to tick cells. When low expression vectors were used, single E. coli expressing MSP1a was seen adhered to individual tick cells while reaction of tick cells with the E. coli/MSP1a/high expression vector resulted in adhesion of multiple bacteria per cell. With electron microscopy, fusion of E. coli cell membranes expressing MSP1a or MSP1b with erythrocyte membranes was observed, as well as fusion of tick cell membranes with E. coli membranes expressing MSP1a. These studies demonstrated differential adhesion for MSP1a and MSP1b for which MSP1a is an A. marginale adhesin for both bovine erythrocytes and tick cells while MSP1b is an adhesin only for bovine erythrocytes. The role of the MSP1 complex, therefore, appears to vary among vertebrate and invertebrate hosts.

Direct chemical extraction of a recombinant viral coat protein from Escherichia coli at high cell density.

The release of protein and DNA from nonrecombinant E. coli JM101 and recombinant E. coli HMS174(DE3) expressing L1 (the major viral coat protein of human papillomavirus type 16) as an inclusion body was demonstrated at high cell density (OD(600) = 160). For the nonrecombinant strain, extraction efficiency decreased significantly as cell mass increased, with a high viscosity increase in the postextraction broth. A different dependence on cell concentration was observed for the recombinant strain, with total protein extraction efficiency exceeding 85% for both uninduced and induced cells. Almost complete release of the recombinant L1 protein was achieved at high cell concentration (OD(600) = 80 approximately 160) without the use of reducing agent. This greatly extends the concentration range for chemical extraction.     

Molecular cloning and characterization of the gene coding for the aerobic azoreductase from Xenophilus azovorans KF46F

The gene coding for an aerobic azoreductase was cloned from Xenophilus azovorans KF46F (formerly Pseudomonas sp. strain KF46F), which was previously shown to grow with the carboxylated azo compound 1-(4'-carboxyphenylazo)-2-naphthol (carboxy-Orange II) as the sole source of carbon and energy. The deduced amino acid sequence encoded a protein with a molecular weight of 30,278 and showed no significant homology to amino acid sequences currently deposited at the relevant data bases. A presumed NAD(P)H-binding site was identified in the amino-terminal region of the azoreductase. The enzyme was heterologously expressed in Escherichia coli and the azoreductase activities of resting cells and cell extracts were compared. The results suggested that whole cells of the recombinant E. coli strains were unable to take up sulfonated azo dyes and therefore did not show in vivo azoreductase activity. The turnover of several industrially relevant azo dyes by cell extracts from the recombinant E. coli strain was demonstrated.

Subcloning of K88ac antigen gene of enterotoigenic E. coli and the restriction map of recombinant plasmid

We had reported a recombinant E. coli RR1(pNZ8801) which was obtained from a wild strain E. coli 79-1454. The recombinant plasmid was digested by EcoRI and generated three segments, medium segment (3.2Md) was removed, the largest and the smallest segment was ligased, then the mixture was transformed into E. coli RRI, screening Ap(r) Tc(s) clones, one of recombinants was named E. coli RR1(pNZ8802). The recombinant plasmid molecular weight is smaller, but expression of K88ac antigen is higher than first cloning. Subcloning can adhere to mucosae of piglet's intesting. Therefore, the recombinant can be use for oval living vaccine.     

High cell density culture of metabolically engineered Escherichia coli for the production of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) in a defined medium

A recombinant Escherichia coli strain XL1-Blue harboring a stable high-copy-number plasmid pSYL107 containing the Alcaligenes eutrophus polyhydroxyalkanoate biosynthesis genes and the Escherichia coli ftsZ gene was employed for the production of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) by fed-batch culture in a defined medium. Suppression of filamentation by overexpressing the cell division protein FtsZ allowed production of PHB to a high concentration (77 g/L) with high productivity (2 g/L/h) in a defined medium, which was not possible with the recombinant E. coli that underwent filamentation. Further optimization of fed-batch culture condition resulted in PHB concentration of 104 g/L in a defined medium, which was the highest value reported to date by employing recombinant E. coli.

Basement membrane carbohydrate as a target for bacterial adhesion: binding of type I fimbriae of Salmonella enterica and Escherichia coli to laminin

Adherence of type-1-fimbriate Salmonella enterica and Escherichia coli to immobilized proteins of the extracellular matrix and reconstituted basement membranes was studied. The type-1-fimbriate strain SH401 of S. enterica serovar Enteritidis showed good adherence to laminin, whereas the adherence to fibronectin, type I, type III, type IV or type V collagens was poor. Only minimal adherence to the matrix proteins was seen with a non-fimbriate strain of S. enterica serovar Typhimurium. A specific and mannoside-inhibitable adhesion to laminin was exhibited by the recombinant E. coli strain HB101(plSF101) possessing fim genes of Typhimurium. Adherence to laminin of strain SH401 was inhibited by Fab fragments against purified SH401 fimbriae, and a specific binding to laminin, of the purified fimbriae, was demonstrated using fimbriae-coated fluorescent microparticles. Periodate treatment of laminin abolished the bacterial adhesion as well as the fimbrial binding. Specific adhesion to immobilized laminin was also shown by the type-1 -fimbriate E. coli strain 2131 and the recombinant strain E. coli HB101(pPKL4) expressing the cloned type-1-fimbriae genes of E. coli. Adhesion to laminin of strain HB101(pPKL4) was inhibited by mannoside, and no adherence was seen with the fimH mutant E. coli HB101(pPKL5/pPKL53) lacking the fimbrial lectin subunit. The type-1 fimbriate strains also adhered to reconstituted basement membranes from mouse sarcoma cells and human placenta. Adhesion of strains HB101(plSF101) and HB101(pPKL4) to both basement membrane preparations was inhibited by mannoside. We conclude that type-1 fimbriae of S. enterica and E. coli bind to oMgomannoside chains of the lamjnjn network in basement membranes.     

Attachment of Lactobacillus casei strain GG to human colon carcinoma cell line Caco-2: comparison with other dairy strains

The degree of adhesion of Lactobacillus casei strain GG to human Caco-2 cell line was investigated. Assessment of adhesion was compared to the adhesion of enterotoxigenic human Escherichia coli strain H 10407 and enterotoxigenic bovine E. coli strain B44 (non-adhesive). Freeze-dried Lactobacillus GG or samples from dairy products had medium to strong binding to the Caco-2 cell line. Lactobacillus acidophilus (NCFB 1748) and L. bulgaricus showed no adhesion to the cell line while four tested Bifidobacterium strains had no or very weak adhesion to the Caco-2 cell line.
