Cellobiase (beta-glucosidase) production was compared for two streptomycetes: Streptomyces flavogriseus, a known producer of cellulase complex, and Streptomyces sp. strain CB-12, a strain isolated for its rapid growth on cellobiose. The optimal conditions for enzyme activity were established in relation to pH, temperature, enzyme stability, and substrate affinity. The production of beta-glucosidase by the two strains depended on the carbon substrate in the medium. Cellobiose was found to repress the biosynthesis of the enzyme in S. flavogriseus and to stimulate its production in strain CB-12. The biosynthesis of the enzyme correlated well with the accumulation of glucose in the culture filtrates. The combined action of the beta-glucosidases produced by the two Streptomyces strains might allow a better utilization of the reaction products which arise during the biodegradation of cellulose. 相似文献

A thermostability screening assay was developed using an Escherichia coli expression system to express Streptomyces lividans xylanase A (XlnA). The screening system was tested using mutants randomized at position 49 of the S. lividans XlnA gene, a position previously shown to confer thermostability with a I49P point mutation. The library was cloned into
an E. coli expression vector and transformed into XL1-blue bacteria. The resulting clones were screened for increased thermostability
with respect to wild-type XlnA. Using this assay, we isolated the I49P mutant previously shown to be thermostable, as well
as novel I49A and I49C mutants. The I49A and I49C mutants were shown to have 2.8- to 8-fold increase in thermostability over
that of wild-type XlnA. The results show that the screening assay can selectively enrich for clones with increased thermostability
and is suitable for screening small- to medium-sized libraries of 5000–20,000 clones. Journal of Industrial Microbiology & Biotechnology (2000) 25, 310–314.

Endoxylanases are a group of enzymes that hydrolyze the beta-1, 4-linked xylose backbone of xylans. They are predominantly found in two discrete sequence families known as glycoside hydrolase families 10 and 11. The Streptomyces lividans xylanase Xyl10A is a family 10 enzyme, the native structure of which has previously been determined by x-ray crystallography at a 2.6 A resolution (Derewenda, U., Swenson, L., Green, R., Wei, Y., Morosoli, R., Shareck, F., Kluepfel, D., and Derewenda, Z. S. (1994) J. Biol. Chem. 269, 20811-20814). Here, we report the native structure of Xyl10A refined at a resolution of 1.2 A, which reveals many features such as the rare occurrence of a discretely disordered disulfide bond between residues Cys-168 and Cys-201. In order to investigate substrate binding and specificity in glycoside hydrolase family 10, the covalent xylobiosyl enzyme and the covalent cellobiosyl enzyme intermediates of Xyl10A were trapped through the use of appropriate 2-fluoroglycosides. The alpha-linked intermediate with the nucleophile, Glu-236, is in a (4)C(1) chair conformation as previously observed in the family 10 enzyme Cex from Cellulomonas fimi (Notenboom, V., Birsan, C., Warren, R. A. J., Withers, S. G., and Rose, D. R. (1998) Biochemistry 37, 4751-4758). The different interactions of Xyl10A with the xylobiosyl and cellobiosyl moieties, notably conformational changes in the -2 and -1 subsites, together with the observed kinetics on a range of aryl glycosides, shed new light on substrate specificity in glycoside hydrolase family 10. 相似文献

Relationship between avirulence gene (avrA) diversity in Ralstonia solanacearum and bacterial wilt incidence 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6

Bacterial wilt, caused by Ralstonia solanacearum, is a serious disease of tobacco in North and South Carolina. In contrast, the disease rarely occurs on tobacco in Georgia and Florida, although bacterial wilt is a common problem on tomato. We investigated whether this difference in disease incidence could be explained by qualitative characteristics of avirulence gene avrA in the R. solanacearum population in the southeastern United States. Sequence analysis established that wild-type avrA has a 792-bp open reading frame. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification of avrA from 139 R. solanacearum strains generated either 792-bp or approximately 960-bp DNA fragments. Strains that elicited a hypersensitive reaction (HR) on tobacco contained the 792-bp allele, and were pathogenic on tomato and avirulent on tobacco. All HR-negative strains generated a approximately 960-bp DNA fragment, and wilted both tomato and tobacco. The DNA sequence of avrA in six HR-negative strains revealed the presence of one of two putative miniature inverted-repeat transposable elements (MITEs): a 152-bp MITE between nucleotides 542 and 543, or a 170-bp MITE between nucleotides 461 and 462 or 574 and 575. Southern analysis suggested that the 170-bp MITE is unique to strains from the southeastern United States and the Caribbean. Mutated avrA alleles were present in strains from 96 and 75% of North and South Carolina sites, respectively, and only in 13 and 0% of the sites in Georgia and Florida, respectively. Introduction of the wildtype allele on a plasmid into four HR-negative strains reduced their virulence on both tobacco and tomato. Inactivation of avrA in an HR-positive, avirulent strain, resulted in a mutant that was weakly virulent on tobacco. Thus, the incidence of bacterial wilt of tobacco in the southeastern United States is partially explained by which avrA allele dominates the local R. solanacearum population. 相似文献

Cellobiase (β-glucosidase) production was compared for two streptomycetes: Streptomyces flavogriseus, a known producer of cellulase complex, and Streptomyces sp. strain CB-12, a strain isolated for its rapid growth on cellobiose.

The production of β-glucosidase by the two strains depended on the carbon substrate in the medium. Cellobiose was found to repress the biosynthesis of the enzyme in S. flavogriseus and to stimulate its production in strain CB-12. The biosynthesis of the enzyme correlated well with the accumulation of glucose in the culture filtrates. The combined action of the β-glucosidases produced by the two Streptomyces strains might allow a better utilization of the reaction products which arise during the biodegradation of cellulose. 相似文献

Streptomyces lividans IAF18, obtained by homologous cloning, is capable of over-producing XlnA. To investigate the possibility of the expression
of foreign genes, various coding regions of the xylanase A gene (xlnA) were analysed. Expression/secretion vectors were constructed containing the regulatory elements of xlnA with the coding region of the leader peptide with or without the truncated structural gene encoding the first 310 amino acids
of the XlnA. The genes coding for the Escherichia coliβ-glucuronidase and subunit 1 of the Bordetella pertussis toxin (S1) were used and their expression analysed. S. lividans transformants where the β-glucuronidase gene was fused with the leader sequence produced up to 30 mg β-glucuronidase/culture
filtrate whereas only fused XlnA/S1 was detected and its yield was estimated to be 1 mg/l. The disappearence of the B. pertussis toxin S1 and β-glucuronidase from the culture medium was due to the concomitant appearence of secreted proteases from S. lividans.

Summary The production of cellulases and of xylanase by Streptomyces lividans 1326 was studied under different growth conditions. The strain grew between 18°C and 46°C and is therefore thermotolerant. Submerged cultures of the microorganism, when grown on a defined salt medium containing xylan as main carbon source, exhibited an overall cellulolytic activity as determined by the filter paper test. S. lividans produced optimal levels of extracellular -1,4-glucan-glucanohydrolase (1 IU/ml) and large amounts of -1,4-xylanxylanohydrolase (50 IU/ml) at 40°C. A better production of both enzymes was observed when xylan instead of cellulose was used as substrate.The stability of the enzyme was found to be significantly greater than those of the cellulases and xylanases produced by other streptomycetes. The optimal incubation temperatures for the enzyme assays were 55°C and 60°C for CM-cellulase and xylanase respectively and optimal pH values were found in the range of pH 6–7. 相似文献
