大肠杆菌青霉素G酰化酶基因及其邻近区域的核苷酸全序列

Some of microorganisms have been known to possess penicillin G acylase activity. The E. coli derived penicillin G acylase (PGA) can catalyze the conversion of penicillin G into phenylacetic acid and 6-amino-penicillanic acid, the latter is used as the starting compound for the industrial formation of semi-synthetic penicillins. Apart from its industrial importance, the enzyme PGA displays a number of interesting properties. Catalytically active enzyme is localized in the periplasmic space of E. coli cells and composed of two dissimilar subunits. The two subunits are apparently produced from a precursor protein, via a processing pathway hitherto unique in its features for a prokaryotic enzyme. The studies on processing of the precursor and on the relationship between structure and function of the mature enzyme are important theoretically. Previously we cloned a 3.5 kb DNA fragment from a strain (E. coli AS 1.76), which displays PGA activity. In this paper, we report a nucleotide sequence of the 3.5 kb DNA fragment containing PGA gene. After insertion of the DNA fragment into EcoR I and Hind III sites in pWR 13, pPGA 20 had been obtained. We subcloned the Hind III and Bg1 II treated fragment of 1.6 kb in length from pPGA 20 into Hind III and BamH I sites of pWR 13 to get a pPGA 1.6, and Bg1 II and EcoR I treated fragment of 1.9 kb in length into BamH I and EcoR I sites of pWR 13 to get a pPGA 1.9. The linearized pPGA 1.9 which were digested with appropriate restriction enzymes were progressively shortened from both ends respectively by digestion with Bal 31 nuclease, followed by cleavage of shortened target DNA off vector DNA molecules with appropriate restriction enzymes. The series of the DNA fragments shortened from EcoR I end were then cloned into plasmid pWR 13 which had previously digested with Hind III and Sma I enzymes (Fig. 1). The DNA fragment cloned in pWR 13 were directly sequenced on the resulted plasmids by using primer I and primer II. Thus we have obtained the complete nucleotide sequence of the 3.5 kb DNA fragment. The 3.5 kb fragment contains an intact PGA gene which is 2.6 kb.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)     

酵母ENO2上游激活顺序对酵母 LEU2表达的影响

本文将酿酒酵母(Saccharomyces cerevisiae)中编码烯醇化酶的基因之—ENO2的上游墩活顺序嵌入穿梭质粒YEpl3上酵母LEU2基因上游—405Hpa I的酶切部位。LEU2为编码β-异丙基苹果酸脱氢酶基因。从而研究了酵母ENO2的上游激活顺序对酵母LEU2表达的影响。实验结果表明ENO2上游激活顺序不论正向或反向嵌八都激活LEU2的表达达四倍左右。有亮氨酸存在的条件下,LEU2的表达受到抑制。ENO2上游激活顺序在对LEU2表达的激活上并不受葡萄糖的诱导。提出了用ENO2上游激活顺序组建高表达系统的可能性。     

小麦高分子量谷蛋白亚基基因片段的体外扩增

生物体尤其是高等动植物,绝大多数基因的拷贝数是很低的,如果没有基因扩增的手段,几乎无法研究基因的结构及其与表达的关系。当今分子生物学发展中最基本的技术之一基因克隆,实际上就是基因体内扩增(in vivo amplification)的技术。近年来发展了一种基因体外扩增(in vitro amplification)的新技术,又称     

几种固氮菌nifA基因片段的同源性分析

参照已知数种固氮菌nifA基因的DNA序列,选择其中间区域的两个保守性较强的序列合成引物,利用肺炎克匠杆菌(Klebsiella pneumoniaef)、棕色固氮菌(Azotobacter vinela-ndii)、巴西固氮螺菌(Azospirllum brasilense)、草螺菌(Herbaspirillum seropedicae)和深红红螺菌(Rhodospirillum rubrum)的总DNA进行聚合酶链反应,结果均扩增出约450bp大小的片段,经证实为各种固氮菌的nifA基因部分片段。 核酸印迹分子杂交结果显示出nifA基因在不同固氮菌中的同源性不强。     

白鹇距长与年龄的关系

注意到白鹧雄鸟距长在一定时期内随年龄增长的事实,本文根据相邻2年同一月龄之间有12个月的间隔,距长数据除有较为集中外一定又有组间明显差别的特点,推测估计部分标本之年龄,加上确知年龄的部分标本,共测定89个个体120个距长样本数据,得到距长随年(月)龄增长的关系式:SL=am/1+bm,用此式可以实测距长初步估计野外采集到的白鹇个体的年龄     

电子计算机在厌氧菌鉴定中的应用

本文介绍了鉴定厌氧菌的微量系统配以电子计算机诊断,提高了鉴定效果。经356株参考菌株和临床分离菌株的检测,87.6%的菌株可鉴定到种,97.4%菌株鉴定到属。种水平上诊断错误的占12.6%,属水平上诊断错误的仅占2.6%.没有菌株不能诊断。与国外已成商品的鉴定系统相比,无论是鉴定到种还是属,其水平都较高。
