A synthetic gene for bovine pancreatic ribonuclease A (RNase A) has been expressed in Escherichia coli as a fusion protein with beta-galactosidase linked by the tetrapeptide Ile-Glu-Gly-Arg. RNase A was cleaved from the fusion using factor Xa, and the resulting product purified and reconstituted. The isolated RNase A was chromatographically, catalytically, and immunologically identical with authentic RNase A. This work argues that the method suggested by Nagai and Thogersen [Nagai, K. & Thogersen, H. C. (1984) Nature (Lond.) 309, 810-812] for releasing fusion proteins is quite general, even when applied to particularly complicated expression problem. The procedure here makes RNase A available for the first time as a model for studying structure-function relationships in proteins using site-directed mutagenesis. 相似文献

Genome engineering without leaving foreign DNA behind requires an efficient counter-selectable marker system. Here, we developed a genome engineering method in Bacillus subtilis using a synthetic gene circuit as a counter-selectable marker system. The system contained two repressible promoters (B. subtilis xylA (Pxyl) and spac (Pspac)) and two repressor genes (lacI and xylR). Pxyl-lacI was integrated into the B. subtilis genome with a target gene containing a desired mutation. The xylR and Pspac–chloramphenicol resistant genes (cat) were located on a helper plasmid. In the presence of xylose, repression of XylR by xylose induced LacI expression, the LacIs repressed the Pspac promoter and the cells become chloramphenicol sensitive. Thus, to survive in the presence of chloramphenicol, the cell must delete Pxyl-lacI by recombination between the wild-type and mutated target genes. The recombination leads to mutation of the target gene. The remaining helper plasmid was removed easily under the chloramphenicol absent condition. In this study, we showed base insertion, deletion and point mutation of the B. subtilis genome without leaving any foreign DNA behind. Additionally, we successfully deleted a 2-kb gene (amyE) and a 38-kb operon (ppsABCDE). This method will be useful to construct designer Bacillus strains for various industrial applications. 相似文献

Effect of bovine seminal ribonuclease and bovine pancreatic ribonuclease A on bovine oocyte maturation 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Bovine seminal ribonuclease (BS-RNase) contains the MxM (noncovalent dimer) and M=M (free monomer) in constant ratio. The aim of this work was to evaluate the effect of BS-RNase, its monomer and dimer forms, and also various mutants of this enzyme on meiotic completion in cattle oocytes. It was found that BS-RNase has irreversible effects on the meiotic maturation of bovine oocytes in vitro, particularly on the completion of meiosis. The effect of BS-RNase is dose-dependent. In medium supplemented with 1 microg/ml, the results were comparable with those of the control (70% MII oocytes after 24 hr of culture). Whereas 5 microg/ml reduced the number of MII oocytes to 50%, 10 and 25 microg/ml arrested this process completely. The MxM form and RNase A at 5 microg/ml inhibited the maturation rate by 71 and 48%, respectively, but a less significant effect was observed for the M=M form, or the carboxymethylated monomers MCM31 and MCM32 (21%, 16%, and 42% MII oocytes, respectively, in comparison with control). These data demonstrate that bovine ribonucleases can have variable detrimental effects on the maturation of bovine oocyte. J. Exp. Zool. 287:394-399, 2000. 相似文献

Plasmids with whole genes for ribonucleases from B. intermedius (binase) and B. pumilis (RNase Bp) assembled with the whole gene of barstar, a specific intracellular inhibitor, are constructed. The resultant plasmids pMZ55 and pMZ56 effectively express binase and RNase Bp genes in B. subtilis cells. A medium for maximum expression of RNase genes by recombinant strains is developed. The expression of binase and RNase Bp genes in B. subtilis cells is negatively regulated by exogenic inorganic phosphate. 相似文献

Summary The native promoter of a xylanase gene isolated from Clostridium thermocellum was replaced with a strong promoter screened from Bacillus subtilis chromosomes. A part of the C-terminal region of the gene which is not related to the xylanase activity was removed. With the modified xylanase gene, B. subtilis was transformed and grown in LB medium. The xylanase gene was expressed well in B. subtilis and extracellular xylanase was produced up to 30 units per ml when the growth reached OD600 of 4.8. 相似文献

The gene for the Bacillus megaterium spore C protein, a sporulation-specific gene, has been transferred into Bacillus subtilis. The B. megaterium gene was expressed little, if at all, during log-phase and early-stationary-phase growth, but was expressed during sporulation with the same kinetics as and at a level similar to that of the analogous B. subtilis genes. This finding is most consistent with the regulation of this class of genes by a mechanism of positive control. 相似文献

Summary A chemically synthesised gene coding for human urogastrone which was earlier cloned in E. coli (Smith et al. 1982) has now been cloned into expression vectors for Bacillus subtilis
Two types of constructs have been made, one giving production of methionylurogastrone and the other giving rise to a methionyl-urogastrone- galactosidase fusion polypeptide facilitating quantification of expression levels.The ribosome binding sites used in the expression plasmids are synthetically made oligonucleotides residing on short restriction fragments to allow easy replacement by other ribosome binding sites.Using shuttle vectors and constitutive promoters from Bacillus phages 105 and SPP1, we were able to detect levels of expression amounting to a few thousand molecules per cell during logarithmic growth in both E. coli and B. subtilis. 相似文献

Gene fusions of DNA sequences encoding protein A from Staphylococcus aureus (spa) with expression elements from an alpha-amylase gene from Bacillus amyloliquefaciens (amyEBamP) directed the synthesis and efficient secretion of protein A in Bacillus subtilis. The fusions were established on multicopy pUB110-based plasmid vectors, in contrast to the intact spa gene, which could not be stably established on plasmids in B. subtilis. Some of the resulting B. subtilis strains secreted protein A at levels in excess of 1 g/liter, demonstrating that a foreign protein encoded by an engineered gene can be secreted by B. subtilis at levels comparable to endogenous exoproteins. 相似文献

Bacillus subtilis C9 produces a lipopeptide-type biosurfactant, surfactin, and rapidly degrades alkanes up to a chain length of C19. The nucleotide sequence of the sfp gene cloned from B. subtilis C9 was determined and its deduced amino acid sequence showed 100% homology with the sfp gene reported before [Nakano et al. (1992) Mol. Gen. Genet. 232: 313–321]. To transform a non-surfactin producer, B. subtilis 168, to a surfactin producer, the sfp gene cloned from B. subtilis C9 was expressed in B. subtilis 168. The transformed B. subtilis SB103 derivative of the strain 168 was shown to produce surfactin measured by its decrease in surface tension, emulsification activity, and TLC analysis of the surface active compound isolated from the culture broth. Like B. subtilis C9, B. subtilis SB103 containing sfp gene readily degraded aliphatic hydrocarbons (C10–19), though its original strain did not. The addition of surfactin (0.5%, w/v) to the culture of B. subtilis 168 significantly stimulated the biodegradation of hydrocarbons of the chain lengths of 10–19; over 98% of the hydrocarbons tested were degraded within 24 h of incubation. These results indicate that the lipopeptide-type biosurfactant, surfactin produced from B. subtilis enhances the bioavailability of hydrophobic hydrocarbons. 相似文献

The xylanase gene of Bacillus circulans Teri-42 was cloned in both B. subtilis and Escherichia coli. The enzyme activity was almost 87% higher in B. subtilis (pBA7) than in E. coli (pAQ4). No cellulase activity was detected in the clones, B. subtilis (pBA7) and E. coli (pAQ4). Approximately 1120 U (80%) of the xylanase was secreted extracellularly by the clone B. subtilis (pBA7) as compared to 79 U (88%) excreted in E. coli (pAQ4). In B. subtilis (pBA7) the optimal xylanase activity was at pH 7.0 and 50 degrees C, which was the same as that of the parent B. circulans Teri-42. The recombinant xylanase in B. subtilis was more stable at higher temperatures than the parent B. circulans Teri-42. Purification of xylanase from the clone B. subtilis (pBA7) showed a 71 kDa polypeptide similar to that observed in B. circulans Teri-42. 相似文献

Summary A hybrid plasmid, pOXN29 (10.4 Mdal), coding the xylanase (xynA) and -xylosidase (xynB) genes of Bacillus pumilus IPO was constructed by the ligation of pBR322 and a 7.7 Mdal PstI-fragment of chromosomal DNA as reported in our previous paper (Panbangred et al. 1983). A deletion plasmid of pOXN29, pOXN293 (9.2 Mdal), which contains xynA and xynB, was ligated with pUB110 at an EcoRI site, and used to transform B. subtilis MI111. Two selected clones of B. subtilis as xylanase hyper-producers contained plasmids pOXW11 (4.2 Mdal) and pOXW12 (4.0 Mdal), both consisting of only pUB110, xynA, and its flanking regions, as the result of spontaneous deletion. These B. subtilis clones produced 2.7–3.0 times as much xylanase as B. pumilus.
Escherichia coli and B. subtilis clones harbouring the hybrid plasmids synthesized xylanase and -xylosidase constitutively, whereas both enzymes were induced by xylose in B. pumilus.Xylanase synthesized by B. subtilis harbouring pOXW11 or pOXW12 was excreted into the medium like that of B. pumilus IPO, but xylanase synthesized in E. coli harbouring pOXN29, 293 or pOXW1 coding xynA was intracellular. In a previous investigation (Panbangred et al. 1983), xylanase was found to be located in the cytoplasm, not the periplasm nor the membrane fraction in E. coli cells harbouring pOXN29 derivatives. In spite of the abnormal location of xylanase synthesized in E. coli, the signal peptide was processed in the same way as in B. pumilus, with the same molecular weight and the same amino terminal sequences of xylanase prepared from E. coli cells and B. pumilus culture fluid. 相似文献

A fully active semisynthetic ribonuclease, RNase 1-118:111-124, may be prepared by enzymatically removing six residues from the COOH terminus of the protein (positions 119-124) and then complementing the inactive RNase 1-118 with a chemically synthesized peptide containing the COOH-terminal 14 residues of the molecule (RNase 111-124) [M. C. Lin, B. Gutte, S. Moore, and R. B. Merrifield (1970) J. Biol. Chem. 245, 5169-5170]. Nitration of tyrosine-115 in the peptide followed by complex formation with RNase 1-118 affords a fully active enzyme containing a unique nitrotyrosine residue in a position which is known and which is very likely to be completely exterior to the active site region. The binding constant between the tetradecapeptide and RNase 1-118 (5 X 10(6) M-1 at pH 6.0) is not changed by the nitration. Crystals of the nitrated complex are isomorphous with those of RNase 1-118:111-124, for which a refined 1.8-A structure has recently been obtained. 相似文献

The region between the amino acids 31-46 was previously identified as being first exposed during thermal unfolding of bovine pancreatic ribonuclease A (RNase). The exchange of one amino acid (Leu35toSer) in this unfolded region of RNase is shown to have a dramatic destabilizing effect (Tm=9 °C). Antibodies raised against a peptide corresponding to the sequence of the labile region, S32-V43, of RNase were effective in stabilizing L35S-RNase against thermal inactivation (65 °C for 2 h) and surpassed the stabilization effect of antiRNase antibodies. An 11% contribution to the stabilizing effect of antiRNase antibodies resulted from antibodies recognizing the unfolding region of the enzyme. 相似文献

Expression of soluble bovine pancreatic ribonuclease A in Pichia pastoris and its purification and characterization 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4

A Pichia pastoris expression system for bovine pancreatic RNase A was constructed: the RNase A sequence was fused to the PHO1 signal and the AOX1 promoter was used for efficient secretion. Approximately 5 mg of soluble enzymes were secreted per liter of the culture, but one half of them were glycosylated. After a series of purifications by cation-exchange chromatography, the glycosylated enzyme was removed and the pure recombinant soluble unglycosylated RNase A was obtained in the final yield of 1 mg per liter of the culture. N-Terminal sequence, molecular weight, secondary structure, thermal stability, and activity were completely identical with those of commercial RNase A. Glycosylated RNase A had a decreased kcat, 60-70% of the activity of wildtype RNase A, as in the case of RNase B. Its carbohydrate moiety seemed to destabilize the enzyme differently from RNase B since Tm of the glycosylated RNase A was decreased by 6 degrees C. The carbohydrate moiety of the glycosylated enzyme contained no GlcNAc. The N34A mutant RNase A, in which the only potential N-glycosylation site, Asn34, is mutated to alanine, was also glycosylated, implying that glycosylation is not N-linked but O-linked. 相似文献
