Cloning and expression in Escherichia coli of the gene encoding an extracellular deoxyribonuclease (DNase) from Aeromonas hydrophila.

The gene encoding an extracellular DNase from Aeromonas hydrophila CHC-1 has been cloned and sequenced. Following expression of the dns in Escherichia coli, it was revealed that some of the cloned enzyme was present in the cell-free extracellular supernatant fluid, and there was no cell lysis and concurrent release of cytoplasmic or periplasmic proteins. Therefore, results suggest that E. coli cells were capable of secreting the DNase extracellularly, albeit very inefficiently. The dns is transcribed from its own promoter in E. coli, and expressed as a 25-kDa product, as determined by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis of the culture supernatant preparations followed by a DNA-hydrolysis assay. Nucleotide sequence analysis predicted a single open reading frame of 690 bp encoding a 230-amino acid (aa) polypeptide, with a potential 20-aa signal peptide located at the N terminus of the predicted protein. The deduced aa sequence of the entire protein is highly homologous with that of the DNase of Vibrio cholerae.     

Cyclodextrin-glycosyltransferase from Klebsiella pneumoniae M5a1: cloning, nucleotide sequence and expression

The structural gene encoding cyclodextrin-glycosyltransferase of Klebsiella pneumoniae strain M5a1 was cloned; it is expressed both in Escherichia coli and in K. pneumoniae and the gene product is secreted into the extracellular space. Determination of the nucleotide sequence revealed an open reading frame coding for a single polypeptide of 655 amino acid (aa) residues. The enzyme is synthesized as a precursor with an N-terminal signal peptide of 30 aa residues, which is proteolytically processed between two alanine residues during export. The primary structure of CGT bears homology with the sequences of amylases from both prokaryotic and eukaryotic origins.     

Cloning, sequencing and expression of the gene encoding the extracellular neutral protease, vibriolysin, of Vibrio proteolyticus.

The gene (nprV), encoding the extracellular neutral protease, vibriolysin (NprV), of the Gram- marine microorganism, Vibrio proteolyticus, was isolated from a V. proteolyticus DNA library constructed in Escherichia coli. The recombinant E. coli produced a protease that co-migrated with purified neutral protease from V. proteolyticus on non-denaturing polyacrylamide gels, and that demonstrated enzymatic specificity towards the neutral protease substrate N-[3-(2-furyl)acryloyl]-L-alanylphenylalanine amide. The nucleotide (nt) sequence of the cloned nprV gene revealed an open reading frame encoding 609 amino acids (aa) including a putative signal peptide sequence followed by a long 'pro' sequence consisting of 172 aa. The N-terminal aa sequence of NprV purified from cultures of V. proteolyticus, identified the beginning of the mature protein within the aa sequence deduced from the nt sequence. Comparative analysis of mature NprV to the sequences of the neutral proteases from Bacillus thermoproteolyticus (thermolysin) and Bacillus stearothermophilus identified extensive regions of conserved aa homology, particularly with respect to active-site residues, zinc-binding residues, and calcium-binding sites. NprV was overproduced in Bacillus subtilis by placing the DNA encoding the 'pro' and mature enzyme downstream from a Bacillus promoter and signal sequence.

Nucleotide sequence of the dihydrofolate reductase gene of Saccharomyces cerevisiae

The nucleotide sequence of a DNA fragment that contained the Saccharomyces cerevisiae gene DFR coding for dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) was determined. The DHFR was encoded by a 633-bp open reading frame, which specified an Mr24264 protein. The polypeptide was significantly related to the DHFRs of chicken liver and Escherichia coli. The yeast enzyme shared 60 amino acid (aa) residues with the avian enzyme and 51 aa residues with the bacterial enzyme. DHFR was overproduced about 40-fold in S. cerevisiae when the cloned gene was present in the vector YEp24. As isolated from the Saccharomyces library, the DFR gene was not expressed in E. coli. When the gene was present on a 1.8-kb BamHI-SalI fragment subcloned into the E. coli vector, pUC18, weak expression in E. coli was observed.     

Cloning, expression, and characterization of a new phytase from the phytopathogenic bacterium Pectobacterium wasabiae DSMZ 18074

The soft rot bacterium Pectobacterium wasabiae is an economically important pathogen of many crops. A new phytase gene, appA, was cloned from P. wasabiae by degenerate PCR and TAIL-PCR. The open reading frame of appA consisted of 1,302 bp encoding 433 amino acid residues, including 27 residues of a putative signal peptide. The mature protein had a molecular mass of 45 kDa and a theoretical pI of 5.5. The amino acid sequence contained the conserved active site residues RHGXRXP and HDTN of typical histidine acid phosphatases, and showed the highest identity of 48.5% to PhyM from Pseudomonas syringae. The gene fragment encoding the mature phytase was expressed in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3), and the purified recombinant phytase had a specific activity of 1,072+/-47 U/mg for phytate substrate. The optimum pH and temperature for the purified phytase were pH 5.0 and 50 degrees , respectively. The Km value was 0.17 mM, with a Vmax of 1,714 mmol/min/mg. This is the first report of the identification and isolation of phytase from Pectobacterium.     

The blue copper protein gene of Alcaligenes faecalis S-6 directs secretion of blue copper protein from Escherichia coli cells.

The gene encoding a blue copper protein (a member of the pseudoazurins) of 123 amino acid residues, containing a single type I Cu2+ ion, was cloned from Alcaligenes faecalis S-6. The nucleotide sequence of the coding region, as well as the 5'- and 3'-flanking regions, was determined. The deduced amino acid sequence after Glu-24 coincided with the reported sequence of the blue protein, and its NH2-terminal sequence of 23 residues resembled a typical signal peptide. The cloned gene was expressed under the control of the tac promoter in Escherichia coli, and the correctly processed blue protein was secreted into the periplasm. The blue protein produced in E. coli possessed the activity to transfer electrons to the copper-containing nitrite reductase of A. faecalis S-6 in vitro.
