单亲灭活柠檬酸杆菌与奇球菌原生质体融合

利用单亲灭活原生质体技术对柠檬酸杆菌和奇球菌原生质体进行了融合,考察了原生质体制备条件与融合中的影响因素。试验表明,随着溶菌酶浓度,酶解时间的增加和温度的上升,原生质体的形成率呈上升趋势,而再生率则逐渐下降。另外,正交试验结果表明,在PEG(6000)浓度40%、融合时间10min、融合温度42°C、pH值为8的条件下促融,最大融合频率可达2.74×10-7。筛选出来的融合子传代10次,性状稳定。进一步研究发现融合子在铀溶度为85mg/L时,比柠檬酸杆菌耐受性好;融合子和亲本吸附比较试验中,融合子总体吸附性能比柠檬酸杆菌略高。研究结果为耐辐射基因工程菌的构建提供了基础。

Molecular Cloning of the Phytase Gene from Citrobacter braakii and its Expression in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

The gene, appA, encoding phytase was cloned from a size-selected genomic library of Citrobacter braakii YH-15 by Southern hybridization using a degenerate probe based on the N-terminal amino acid sequence of the phytase. The deduced amino acid sequence of appA contained the N-terminal RHGXRXP motif and the C-terminal HD motif, which are common in histidine acid phosphatases. It also had significant homology (60% identity) with phytase from Escherichia coli, while the physical mapping analysis of appA revealed that gene organization near appA in C. braakii was similar to that in Salmonella typhimurium genome. C. braakii AppA contained five putative N-glycosylation sites. The recombinant phytases, rAppA_Ec and rAppA_Sc, were produced in E. coli and Saccharomyces cerevisiae, respectively, with both being fused with C-terminal His-tag. After purification, rAppA_Sc was shown to be hyperglycosylated by Endo-H treatment. It had greater thermostability than the wild type phytase and rAppA_Ec.

Oxygen activation by P450cin: Protein and substrate mutagenesis

A conserved threonine found in the majority of cytochromes P450 (P450s) has been implicated in the activation of dioxygen during the catalytic cycle. P450_cin (CYP176A) has been found to be an exception to this paradigm, where the conserved threonine has been replaced with an asparagine. Prior studies with a P450_cin N242A mutant established that the Asn-242 was not a functional replacement for the conserved threonine but was essential for the regio- and stereocontrol of the oxidation of cineole. To explore further how P450_cin controls the activation of the dioxygen in the absence of the conserved threonine, two concurrent lines of investigation were followed. Modification of P450_cin indicated that the Thr-243 was not involved in controlling the protonation of the hydroperoxy species. In addition, the N242T mutant did not enhance the rate and/or efficiency of catalytic turnover of cineole by P450_cin. In parallel experiments, the substrate cineole was modified by removing the ethereal oxygen to produce camphane or 2,2-dimethylbicyclo[2.2.2]octane (cinane). An analogous experiment with P450_EryF showed that a hydroxyl group on the substrate was vital, and in its absence catalytic turnover was effectively abolished. Catalytic turnover of P450_cin with either of these alternative substrates (camphane or cinane) revealed that in the absence of the ethereal oxygen there was still a significant amount of coupling of the NADPH-reducing equivalents to the formation of oxidised product. Again the substrate itself was not found to be important in controlling oxygen activation, in contrast to P450_EryF, but was shown to be essential for regio- and stereoselective substrate oxidation. Thus, it still remains unclear how dioxygen activation in the catalytic turnover of cineole by P450_cin is controlled.

Proteomic analysis on acetate metabolism in Citrobacter sp. BL-4

Mass production of glucosamine (GlcN) using microbial cells is a worthy approach to increase added values and keep safety problems in GlcN production process. Prior to set up a microbial cellular platform, this study was to assess acetate metabolism in Citrobacter sp. BL-4 (BL-4) which has produced a polyglucosamine PGB-2. The LC-MS analysis was conducted after protein separation on the 1D-PAGE to accomplish the purpose of this study. 280 proteins were totally identified and 188 proteins were separated as acetate-related proteins in BL-4. Acetate was converted to acetyl-CoA by acetyl-CoA synthetase up-regulated in the acetate medium. The glyoxylate bypass in the acetate medium was up-regulated with over-expression of isocitrate lyases and 2D-PAGE confirmed this differential expression. Using (1)H-NMR analysis, the product of isocitrate lyases, succinate, increased about 15 times in the acetate medium. During acetate metabolism proteins involved in the lipid metabolism and hexosamine biosynthesis were over-expressed in the acetate medium, while proteins involved in TCA cycle, pentose phosphate cycle and purine metabolism were down-regulated. Taken together, the results from the proteomic analysis can be applied to improve GlcN production and to develop metabolic engineering in BL-4.
