毒素源性大肠杆菌(ETEC）是可以引起幼畜腹泻 的致病菌,此类菌具有对宿主特异的起粘附定居作用 的菌毛,还有直接引起腹泻的肠毒素,目前已发现对热 敏感的肠毒素LT和对热稳定的肠毒素ST。在临床 中经常分离到的带有K88菌毛抗原的致病菌主要是 引起新生仔猪的急性腹泻,其发病、流行都比较快,是 新生仔猪死亡的一个重要原因,给畜牧业造成极大的 危害〔‘’。本实验室经过几年的研究,已经构建了具有 K88ac菌毛抗原和LT肠毒素B亚单位抗原的无毒菌 株,并已作为疫苗菌株应用于畜牧业中。但是考虑到 自然界野生型菌株生命力强,还具有多种不同的。抗 原,所以发展口服免疫的活菌苗有必要考虑上述因素。 这样当孕猪口服免疫活菌苗后,即可以产生更好的免 疫应答,刺激细胞和体液免疫系统,产生保护性伉体, 通过初乳给新生仔猪提供保护。本实验利用我们构建 的带有K88ac抗原和LT=B抗原基因的PMM085质 粒（待发表于生物工程学报,1987,和一株带有0149 抗原和K88ac抗原的野生型菌株,在用常规的Ca'十 处理受体菌转化未获成功后,又利用PEG诱导的原 生质体转化方法,把质粒PMM085转化到上述带有 014,抗原基因的野生型菌中,得到了带有K88ac,LT-B 和014,抗原基因的无毒菌株。可望此菌株能更好地 模仿自然感染致病菌株,在免疫中产生更好的预Vi作 用。     

克隆毒素源性大肠杆菌K88ac抗原基因

E.coli79-l454(08：K88ac K31：H^-)是北京生物制品检定所从上海郊区腹泻的仔猪分离到的野生型毒素源性大肠杆菌,该菌产生K88ac抗原,产生热敏感毒素(LT)和热稳定毒素(sT)。发酵棉子糖,抗四环素,含有50Md的大质粒。用碱变性法提取,以线性cscl-EB密度梯度离心法纯化大质粒,用HindⅢ酶消化,回收6.5Md的片段,与载体pBR322连接,转化到E.coliRRl,选出Ap¹Tc²的转化子,用玻片凝集,琼艚扩散。K88ac抗血清致敏的绵羊红细胞反向间接血凝,被动溶血,ELISA等方法检测K88ac抗原均为阳性的重组体,其中一株命名为E.coliRR1(pMM031),酶切图谱表明除含pBR322 DNA的片段外,还台有约为6．5Md的片段,此片段是HindⅢ酶消化大质粒DNA产生的第二条片段,含有为K88ac抗原基因编码的遗传决定子。用LT基因探针菌落原位杂交,Y—l肾细胞试验等方法检测结果表明重组体不产生LT;用乳鼠试验及STb基因探针杂交均是阴性,说明重组体不产生ST。由此可见重组体产生K88ac抗原,但无毒性,有可能用作疫苗栋,也可以与其他因子配伍构建成更好的活疫苗株。

The nucleotide sequence of the protein subunit of the K88ac fimbriae of porcine enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli

Abstract The nucleotide sequence of the gene encoding the K88ac fimbrial subunit has been determined and the amino acid sequence was derived. In comparison with the two other, previously determined sequences of the K88ab and K88ad sequences, the most striking features of the K88ac protein sequence are the insertion of a lys residue at position 104 and the deletion of three amino residues at positions 165. The differences between the three sequences are discussed with respect to possible structure-functions relationships and antigenic determinants.     

The nucleotide sequence of the gene encoding the K99 subunit of enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli

Abstract The nucleotide sequence of the gene encoding the K99 fimbrial subunit of enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli was determined. It appeared that the subunit is composed of 159 amino acid residues preceded by a N-terminal signal sequence of 22 amino acid residues. The secondary structure of the mature K99 polypeptide and the location of potential antigenic determinants were predicted. A comparison was made between the amino acid sequence of the K99 subunit and the subunits of other fimbrial adhesins.     

Amino acid sequence of the cytochrome subunit of the photosynthetic reaction centre from the purple bacterium Rhodopseudomonas viridis

The complete nucleotide sequence of the gene encoding the cytochrome subunit of the photosynthetic reaction centre from the purple bacterium Rhodopseudomonas viridis, and the derived amino acid sequence are presented. The nucleotide sequence of the gene reveals the existence of a typical bacterial signal peptide of 20 amino acid residues which is not found in the mature cytochrome subunit. The gene encoding the cytochrome subunit is preceded by the gene encoding the M subunit. Both genes overlap by 1 bp. The mature cytochrome subunit consists of 336 amino acid residues; 73% of its amino acid sequence was confirmed by protein sequencing work. The mol. wt of the cytochrome subunit including the covalently bound fatty acids and the bound heme groups is 40 500. The internal sequence homology is low, despite the symmetric structure of the cytochrome subunit previously shown by X-ray crystallographic analysis of the intact photosynthetic reaction centre. Sequence homologies to other cytochromes were not found.     

Thermostable alanine racemase from Bacillus stearothermophilus: DNA and protein sequence determination and secondary structure prediction

The nucleotide sequence of the alanine racemase (EC 5.1.1.1) gene from a thermophile, Bacillus stearothermophilus, was determined by the dideoxy chain termination method with universal and synthetic site-specific primers. The amino acid sequence of the enzyme predicted from the nucleotide sequence was confirmed by peptide sequence information derived from the N-terminal amino acid residues and several tryptic fragments. The alanine racemase gene consists of 1158 base pairs encoding a protein of 386 amino acid residues; the molecular weight of the apoenzyme is estimated as 43,341. The racemase gene of B. stearothermophilus has a closely similar size (1158 vs 1167 base pairs) to that of the gene of a mesophile, B. subtilis, but shows a higher preference for codons ending in G or C. A comparison of the amino acid sequence with those of Bacillus subtilis and Salmonella typhimurium dadB and alr enzymes revealed overall sequence homologies of 31-54%, including an identical octapeptide bearing the pyridoxal 5'-phosphate binding site. Although the residues common in the four racemases are not continuously arrayed, these constitute distinct domains and their hydropathy profiles are very similar. The secondary structure of B. stearothermophilus alanine racemase was predicted from the results obtained by theoretical analysis and circular dichroism measurement.     

Complete nucleotide sequence of the sr gene from Streptococcus mutans OMZ 175

The nucleotide sequence encoding the SR protein of Streptococcus mutans OMZ 175 (serotype f) has been determined. The sr gene consists of 4667 bp and codes for a 171177 Da protein. Comparison of the inferred amino acid sequence with the one of PAc antigen from S. mutans MT 8148 (serotype c) indicates a 88% conservation of amino acid residues which reflects the close relatedness of both proteins. Major differences in amino acid composition are located at the C-terminal part of the sequence where only 298 amino acids of the terminal 420 are conserved.     

Characterization of the antigenic and adhesive properties of FaeG, the major subunit of K88 fimbriae

The two K88 serotypes, K88ab and K88ac, differ in terms of antigenic and adhesive properties. The structural determinants of the serotype-specific epitopes and the identify of the amino acid residues involved in fimbriae-receptor interaction were studied by the construction and analysis of K88 hybrid proteins in which various parts of the K88ab and K88ac fimbrial subunit FaeG were exchanged, and by in vitro mutagenesis of non-conserved amino acid residues. Using a set of monoclonal antibodies, several regions or amino acid residues involved in the formation of serotype-specific antigenic determinants were located. The haemagglutinating activity of the hybrid and mutant proteins revealed several amino acid residues involved in the formation of the receptor binding site. A clear correlation was found between the receptor binding site and the serotype-specific antigenic determinants.     

The Escherichia coli pldC gene encoding lysophospholipase L(1) is identical to the apeA and tesA genes encoding protease I and thioesterase I, respectively.

We deduced the amino acid sequence of Escherichia coli lysophospholipase L(1) by determining the nucleotide sequence of the pldC gene encoding this enzyme. The translated protein was found to contain 208 amino acid residues with a hydrophobic leader sequence of 26 amino acid residues. The molecular weight of the purified enzyme (20,500) was in good agreement with the predicted size (20,399) of the processed protein. A search involving a data bank showed that the nucleotide sequence of the pldC gene was identical to those of the apeA and tesA genes encoding protease I and thioesterase I, respectively. Consistent with the identity of the pldC gene with these two genes, the enzyme purified from E. coli overexpressing the pldC gene showed both protease I and thioesterase I activities.     

Molecular cloning of the nahG gene encoding salicylate hydroxylase from Pseudomonas fluorescens

A gene encoding the salicylate hydroxylase was cloned from the genomic DNA of Pseudomonas fluorescens SME11. The DNA fragment containing the nahG gene for the salicylate hydroxylase was mapped with restriction endonucleases and sequenced. The DNA fragment contained an ORF of 1,305 bp encoding a polypeptide of 434 amino acid residues. The nucleotide and amino acid sequences of the salicylate hydroxylase revealed several conserved regions with those of the enzyme encoded in P. putida PpG7: The homology of the nucleotide sequence is 83% and that of amino acid sequence is 72%. We found large conserved regions of the amino acid sequence at FAD and NADH binding regions. The FAD binding site is located at the amino terminal region and a lysine residue functions as a NADH-binding site.
