We have reported that the chitinolytic system of Alteromonas sp. strain O-7 consists of chitinases (ChiA, ChiB, and ChiC), a chitinase-like enzyme (ChiD), beta-N-acetylglucosaminidases (GlcNAcasesA, GlcNAcaseB, and GlcNAcaseC), and a novel transglycosylative enzyme (Hex99). The gene encoding a beta-hexosaminidase with an unusual substrate specificity (hex86), located upstream of the hex99 gene, was cloned and sequenced. The gene encoded a protein of 761 amino acids with a calculated molecular mass of 86,758 Da. The deduced amino acid sequence of Hex86 showed sequence similarity with beta-hexosaminidases belonging to family 20. The hex86 gene was expressed in Escherichia coli, and the recombinant enzyme was purified to homogeneity. The enzyme rapidly cleaved p-nitrophenyl-beta-N-acetyl-D-glucosaminide and slowly cleaved p-nitrophenyl-beta-N-acetyl-D-galactosaminide. Unexpectedly, the enzyme did not hydrolyzed chitin oligosaccharides under the assay conditions for synthetic glycosides. However, after prolonged incubation with excessive quantities of the enzyme, Hex86 hydrolyzed chitin oligosaccharides. These results indicate that Hex86 is a novel enzyme that prefers p-nitrophenyl-beta-N-acetyl-D-glucosaminide to chitin oligosaccharides as a substrate. 相似文献

The gene encoding beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase (GlcNAcaseA) was cloned using PCR with degenerate oligonucleotide primers from the partial amino acid sequence of the enzyme. The gene encoded a polypeptide of 863 amino acids with a predicted molecular mass of 97kDa. A characteristic signal peptide, which was present at the amino-terminus of the precursor protein, contained four amino acids (Ala-Gly-Cys-Ser) identical in sequence and location to the processing and modification sites of the outer membrane lipoprotein of Escherichia coli, indicating that the mature GlcNAcaseA is a lipoprotein the N-terminal cysteine residue of which would be modified by the fatty acid that anchors the protein in the membrane. The predicted amino acid sequence of GlcNAcaseA showed similarity to bacterial beta-N-acetylglucosaminidases belonging to the family 20 glycosyl hydrolases. 相似文献

Alteromonas sp. strain O-7 secretes chitinase A (ChiA), chitinase B (ChiB), and chitinase C (ChiC) in the presence of chitin. A gene cluster involved in the chitinolytic system of the strain was cloned and sequenced upstream of and including the chiA gene. The gene cluster consisted of three different open reading frames organized in the order chiD, cbp1, and chiA. The chiD, cbp1, and chiA genes were closely linked and transcribed in the same direction. Sequence analysis indicated that Cbp1 (475 amino acids) was a chitin-binding protein composed of two discrete functional regions. ChiD (1,037 amino acids) showed sequence similarity to bacterial chitinases classified into family 18 of glycosyl hydrolases. The cbp1 and chiD genes were expressed in Escherichia coli, and the recombinant proteins were purified to homogeneity. The highest binding activities of Cbp1 and ChiD were observed when alpha-chitin was used as a substrate. Cbp1 and ChiD possessed a chitin-binding domain (ChtBD) belonging to ChtBD type 3. ChiD rapidly hydrolyzed chitin oligosaccharides in sizes from trimers to hexamers, but not chitin. However, after prolonged incubation with large amounts of ChiD, the enzyme produced a small amount of (GlcNAc)(2) from chitin. The optimum temperature and pH of ChiD were 50 degrees C and 7.0, respectively. 相似文献

Alteromonas sp. strain O-7 secretes several proteins in addition to chitinolytic enzymes in response to chitin induction. In this paper, we report that one of these proteins, designated MprIII, is a metalloprotease involved in the chitin degradation system of the strain. The gene encoding MprIII was cloned in Escherichia coli. The open reading frame of mprIII encoded a protein of 1,225 amino acids with a calculated molecular mass of 137,016 Da. Analysis of the deduced amino acid sequence of MprIII revealed that the enzyme consisted of four domains: the signal sequence, the N-terminal proregion, the protease region, and the C-terminal extension. The C-terminal extension (PkdDf) was characterized by four polycystic kidney disease domains and two domains of unknown function. Western and real-time quantitative PCR analyses demonstrated that mprIII was induced in the presence of insoluble polysaccharides, such as chitin and cellulose. Native MprIII was purified to homogeneity from the culture supernatant of Alteromonas sp. strain O-7 and characterized. The molecular mass of mature MprIII was estimated by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis to be 115 kDa. The optimum pH and temperature of MprIII were 7.5 and 50 degrees C, respectively, when gelatin was used as a substrate. Pretreatment of native chitin with MprIII significantly promoted chitinase activity. Furthermore, the combination of MprIII and a novel chitin-binding protease (AprIV) remarkably promoted the chitin hydrolysis efficiency of chitinase. 相似文献

The gene encoding an extracellular chitinase from marine Alteromonas sp. strain O-7 was cloned in Escherichia coli JM109 by using pUC18. The chitinase produced was not secreted into the growth medium but accumulated in the periplasmic space. A chitinase-positive clone of E. coli produced two chitinases with different molecular weights from a single chitinase gene. These proteins showed almost the same enzymatic properties as the native chitinase of Alteromonas sp. strain O-7. The N-terminal sequences of the two enzymes were identical. The nucleotide sequence of the 3,394-bp SphI-HindIII fragment that included the chitinase gene was determined. A single open reading frame was found to encode a protein consisting of 820 amino acids with a molecular weight of 87,341. A putative ribosome-binding site, promoter, and signal sequence were identified. The deduced amino acid sequence of the cloned chitinase showed sequence homology with chitinases A (33.4%) and B (15.3%) from Serratia marcescens. Regardless of origin, the enzymes of the two bacteria isolated from marine and terrestrial environments had high homology, suggesting that these organisms evolved from a common ancestor. 相似文献

An extracellular alkaline metalloprotease (MprI) from Alteromonas sp. strain O-7 was purified and characterized. The molecular mass of the purified enzyme was estimated to be 56 kDa by SDS-PAGE. The optimum pH and temperature were pH 10.0 and 60 degrees C, respectively. The gene (mprI) encoding MprI was cloned and its nucleotide sequence was analyzed. The deduced amino acid sequence of MprI showed significant similarity to metalloproteases classified into the thermolysin family. Furthermore, sequence analysis showed that another metalloprotease (MprII)-encoding gene was located downstream from mprI. The deduced amino acid sequence of MprII showed high similarity to metalloproteases of the aminopeptidase family. Similar repeated C-terminal extensions were found in both MprI and MprII. 相似文献

AIMS: The aim of study was to clarify whether the polycystic kidney disease (PKD) domain of chitinase A (ChiA) participates in the hydrolysis of powdered chitin. METHODS AND RESULTS: Site-directed mutagenesis of the conserved aromatic residues of PKD domain was performed by PCR. The aromatic residues, W30, Y48, W64 and W67, were replaced by alanine, and single- and double-mutant chitinases were produced in Escherichia coli XL10 and purified with HisTrap column. Single mutations were not quite effective on the hydrolysing activities against chitinous substrates when compared with wild-type ChiA. However, mutations of W30 and W67 decreased the activities against powdered chitin by 87.6%. Wild-type and mutant PKD domains were produced in E. coli TOP10 and purified with glutathione-Sepharose 4B column. Wild-type PKD domain showed significant binding activity to powdered chitin, whereas mutations of W30 and W67 reduced the binding activity to powdered chitin drastically. These results suggest that PKD domain of ChiA is essential for effective hydrolysis of powdered chitin through the interaction between two aromatic residues and chitin molecule. CONCLUSIONS: PKD domain of ChiA participates in the effective hydrolysis of powdered chitin through the interaction between two aromatic residues (W30 and W67) and chitin molecule. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: The findings of this study provide important information on chitin degradation by microbial chitinases. 相似文献

Chitinase (EC 3.2.1.14) was isolated from the culture supernatant of a marine bacterium, Alteromonas sp. strain O-7. The enzyme (Chi-A) was purified by anion-exchange chromatography (DEAE-Toyopearl 650 M) and gel filtration (Sephadex G-100). The purified enzyme showed a single band on sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The molecular size and pI of Chi-A were 70 kDa and 3.9, respectively. The optimum pH and temperature of Chi-A were 8.0 and 50 degrees C, respectively. Chi-A was stable in the range of pH 5-10 up to 40 degrees C. Among the main cations, such as Na+, K+, Mg2+, and Ca2+, contained in seawater, Mg2+ stimulated Chi-A activity. N-Bromosuccinimide and 2-hydroxy-5-nitrobenzyl bromide inhibited Chi-A activity. The amino-terminal 27 amino acid residues of Chi-A were sequenced. This enzyme showed sequence homology with chitinases from terrestrial bacteria such as Serratia marcescens QMB1466 and Bacillus circulans WL-12. 相似文献

Alteromonas sp. strain O-7 secretes several proteins in response to chitin induction. We have found that one of these proteins, designated AprIV, is a novel chitin-binding protease involved in chitinolytic activity. The gene encoding AprIV (aprIV) was cloned in Escherichia coli. DNA sequencing analysis revealed that the open reading frame of aprIV encoded a protein of 547 amino acids with a calculated molecular mass of 57,104 Da. AprIV is a modular enzyme consisting of five domains: the signal sequence, the N-terminal proregion, the family A subtilase region, the polycystic kidney disease domain (PkdD), and the chitin-binding domain type 3 (ChtBD3). Expression plasmids coding for PkdD or both PkdD and ChtBD (PkdD-ChtBD) were constructed. The PkdD-ChtBD but not PkdD exhibited strong binding to alpha-chitin and beta-chitin. Western and Northern analyses demonstrated that aprIV was induced in the presence of N-acetylglucosamine, N-acetylchitobiose, or chitin. Native AprIV was purified to homogeneity from Alteromonas sp. strain O-7 and characterized. The molecular mass of mature AprIV was estimated to be 44 kDa by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The optimum pH and temperature of AprIV were pH 11.5 and 35 degrees C, respectively, and even at 10 degrees C the enzyme showed 25% of the maximum activity. Pretreatment of native chitin with AprIV significantly promoted chitinase activity. 相似文献

We purified from the culture supernatant of Alteromonas sp. strain O-7 and characterized a transglycosylating enzyme which synthesized beta-(1-->6)-(GlcNAc)2, 2-acetamido-6-O-(2-acetamido-2-deoxy-beta-D-glucopyranosyl)-2- deoxyglucopyranose from beta-(1-->4)-(GlcNAc)2. The gene encoding a novel transglycosylating enzyme was cloned into Escherichia coli, and its nucleotide sequence was determined. The molecular mass of the deduced amino acid sequence of the mature protein was determined to be 99,560 Da which corresponds very closely with the molecular mass of the cloned enzyme determined by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The molecular mass of the cloned enzyme was much larger than that of enzyme (70 kDa) purified from the supernatant of this strain. These results suggest that the native enzyme was the result of partial proteolysis occurring in the N-terminal region. The enzyme showed significant sequence homology with several bacterial beta-N-acetylhexosaminidases which belong to family 20 glycosyl hydrolases. However, this novel enzyme differs from all reported beta-N-acetylhexosaminidases in its substrate specificity. To clarify the role of the enzyme in the chitinolytic system of the strain, the effect of beta-(1-->6)-(GlcNAc)2 on the induction of chitinase was investigated. beta-(1-->6)-(GlcNAc)2 induced a level of production of chitinase similar to that induced by the medium containing chitin. On the other hand, GlcNAc, (GlcNAc)2, and (GlcNAc)3 conversely repressed the production of chitinase to below the basal level of chitinase activity produced constitutively in medium without a carbon source. 相似文献

The beta-agarase-d gene (agaD) from a marine bacterium, Vibrio sp. strain PO-303, was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli. The gene consists of 1,362 bp and encodes a protein of 453 amino acids with a predicted molecular weight of 50,824. The full length of agarase-d consists of a signal peptide, a glycoside hydrolase family 16 catalytic module (CM), and a carbohydrate binding module (CBM). The full length of agarase-d without the signal peptide (rAgaDDeltafull), the catalytic module (rAgaDCM), or the CBM (rAgaDCBM) was expressed in E. coli as recombinant proteins. rAgaDCM exhibited higher enzyme activity (63.6 units/mg) than rAgaDDeltafull (1.20 units/mg) against agarose. rAgaDCM hydrolyzed agar and porphyran to several oligosaccharides and acted on neoagarohexaose to produce neoagarotetraose and neoagarobiose, but did not act on neoagarotetraose. rAgaDCBM bound to agarose. 相似文献

The gene (aprI) encoding alkaline serine protease (AprI; subtilase) from Alteromonas sp. strain O-7 was cloned and sequenced. The nucleotide sequence of aprI has been identified. The deduced amino acid sequence indicated that aprI codes for a precursor of 715 amino acids and the precursor is composed of four regions including a signal peptide, an N-terminal pro-region, a mature protease region and a C-terminal extension region of 215 amino acids as previously described for aprII [H. Tsujibo et al., Gene, 136, 247–251 (1993)]. The amino acid sequence of the mature AprI (AprI-M) showed high sequence homology with those of other class I subtilases. The C-terminal region was characterized by a repeat of 94 amino acids residues, which showed about 50% similarity with those of the C-terminal pro-region of several known proteases from Gram-negative bacteria. 相似文献

Seventy-six strains of marine photosynthetic bacteria were analyzed by agarose gel electrophoresis for plasmid DNA content. Among these strains, 12 carried two to four different plasmids with sizes ranging from 3.1 to 11.0 megadaltons. The marine photosynthetic bacterium Rhodopseudomonas sp. NKPB002106 had two plasmids, pRD06S and pRD06L. The smaller plasmid, pRD06S, had a molecular weight of 3.8 megadaltons and was cut at a single site by restriction endonucleases SalI, SmaI, PstI, XhoI, and BglII. Moreover, the marine photosynthetic bacterium Rhodopseudomonas sp. NKPB002106 containing plasmid pRD06 had a satisfactory growth rate (doubling time, 7.5 h), a hydrogen-producing rate of 0.96 mumol/mg (dry weight) of cells per h, and nitrogen fixation capability. Plasmid pRD06S, however, had neither drug resistance nor heavy-metal resistance, and its copy number was less than 10. Therefore, a recombinant plasmid consisting of pRD06S and Escherichia coli cloning vector pUC13 was constructed and cloned in E. coli. The recombinant plasmid was transformed into Rhodopseudomonas sp. NKPB002106. As a result, Rhodopseudomonas sp. NKPB002106 developed ampicillin resistance. Thus, a shuttle vector for gene transfer was constructed for marine photosynthetic bacteria. 相似文献

A chitinolytic bacterium was isolated from Lake Suwa and identified as Aeromonas hydrophila strain SUWA-9. The strain grew well on a synthetic medium containing colloidal chitin as sole carbon source. Chitin-degrading activity was induced by colloidal chitin or N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc). Most of the activity, however, was not detected in culture fluid but was associated with cells. A beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase was purified after it was solubilized from cells by sonication. The purified enzyme hydrolyzed N-acetylchitooligomers from dimer to pentamer and produced GlcNAc as a final product. The enzyme also hydrolyzed synthetic substrates such as p-nitrophenyl (pNP)-N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminide and pNP-N-acetyl-beta-D-galactosaminide. A gene coding for the purified beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase was isolated. The ORF identified is 2661 nucleotides long and encodes a precursor protein of 887 amino acids including a signal peptide of 22 amino acid residues. The amino acid sequence deduced showed a high similarity to those of bacterial beta-N-acetylhexosaminidases classified in family 20 of glycosyl hydrolases. 相似文献

Two different agarase genes (pSW1, pSW3) were cloned from a marine bacterium Pseudomonas sp. W7 into E. coli JM83 using the multicopy plasmid vector pUC19. Two cloned strains of recombinant E. coli which showed the agarase activity were obtained and were named E. coli JM83/pSW1 and E. coli JM83/pSW3. These strains had the insert fragment of 3.7kb and 3.0kb, respectively. The N-terminal amino acid sequence of the agarase containing the recombinant plasmid pSW3 was determined and the sequence did not show homology to any other known agarases. The optimum pH and temperature of the agarases from the cloned strains, E. coli JM83/pSW1 and pSW3, were 6.0, 7.0 and 30°C, 40°C, respectively. 相似文献

The gene encoding a heat-labile uracil-DNA glycosylase (UDG) from a psychrophilic, gram-positive marine strain (BMTU3346)
has been cloned, sequenced, and expressed in Escherichia coli. The UDG is a cold-active enzyme with an apparent temperature optimum of 35°C and a half-life of 2 min at 40°C. The amino
acid sequence shows an identity of 39.1%–46.2% to UDGs from mesophilic bacteria. The primary structure was examined for features
that could be related to the thermolability of the enzyme. The amino acid sequence of the heat-labile UDG shows 22 differences
with respect to the consensus sequence derived from bacterial UDGs. Features previously recognized in cold-active enzymes
such as extended surface loops or a decrease in the number of arginine residues or proline residues in loops were not observed.
Because dominant features that could be related to the thermolability of the UDG from BMTU3346 cannot be identified, more
subtle modifications of the conformation seem to be responsible for its thermolability.
