野油菜黄单胞菌野油菜致病变种中一个与EPS合成有关的新基因的鉴定

用转座子Tn5gusA5对野油菜黄单胞菌野油菜致病变种(Xanthomonas campestris pv.campestris,简称Xcc)野生型菌株8004进行诱变,分离到一批胞外多糖(EPS)合成减少的突变体。采用TAIL-PCR(thermal asymmetric interlaced PCR)分析突变体的Tn5gusA5插入位点,发现其中一株编号为151D09的突变体的插入位点位于Xcc 8004菌株的基因组编号为XC3695的ORF内,该ORF功能尚未见报道。序列分析表明,该ORF演绎的编码产物与Serratia marcescens的kdtX基因和Klebsiella pneumoniae的waaE基因演绎的编码产物分别具有52%和50%的相似性,并具有第2家族糖基转移酶的功能域, 因此暂将该ORF命名为waxE基因。用同源双交换方法构建了waxE基因的缺失突变体,并采用PCR和Southern杂交的方法对突变体进行了验证。waxE基因缺失突变体在营养丰富培养基的生长繁殖不受影响,但其EPS产量与野生型菌株8004相比,降低35%左右,并且一段PCR合成的包含waxE基因的DNA片段能反式互补waxE基因缺失突变体,恢复缺失突变体的EPS产量,表明Xcc waxE基因与EPS的生物合成有关。     

Development of an all-fish gene cassette for gene transfer in aquaculture.

To develop an all-fish gene cassette suitable for gene transfer in aquaculture, the antifreeze protein (AFP) gene promoter from the ocean pout (Macrozoarces americanus) was analyzed for its ability to direct exogenous gene expression both in vitro and in vivo. The ocean pout AFP (opAFP) gene promoter fused to the bacterial chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CAT) was functionally analyzed in two fish cell lines and in Japanese medaka embryos. The opAFP gene promoter was active in these systems, as demonstrated by the transient expression of CAT activity. These results suggest that the opAFP gene promoter is useful for many other gene transfer experiments. To facilitate use of the opAFP gene promoter as a common and versatile vehicle for fish gene transfers, an expression vector, opAFP-V, was constructed by linking the 2.1-kb opAFP gene promoter, the 63-bp opAFP gene 5' untranslated sequence, and the 1.2-kb opAFP gene 3' sequence by two unique restriction sites, Bg/II and HpaI, respectively. Thus, genes of interest can be inserted into either the Bg/II site or the HpaI site depending on the length of their 5' untranslated sequence. The complete DNA sequence of opAFP-V was determined to facilitate future detailed analysis of integration and expression of the transgene.     

Genetic transfer of the mcd gene in soil

AIMS: To investigate the role of horizontal gene transfer of mcd (methylcarbamate-degrading) gene in high genetic diversity of carbofuran-degrading bacteria. METHODS AND RESULTS: The actuality of genetic transfer from degraders to an Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain was determined in liquid medium. The mcd gene was chosen for transfer experiments. Transconjugants were obtained irrespective of the type of the donor strain (Gram-positive or Gram-negative), size of the inoculum, or nature and concentration of the pesticide in the medium. Soil microcosms, inoculated with or without the donor and/or recipient strains were used. The size of the initial degrading population (treated or untreated soil) and the nature of the inoculated donor strains were considered. More transconjugants were isolated in the previously treated soil than in the untreated soil. Agrobacterium transconjugants were isolated even when the donor strain was not inoculated, probably as a result of gene transfer from indigenous degrading population to the recipient strain. Moreover, potential transconjugants belonging to the Pseudomonas genus were isolated. CONCLUSIONS: Our results seem to demonstrate that the mcd gene is transferable in soil among bacterial populations. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACTS OF THE STUDY: The transfer of the mcd gene is partly responsible for the high genetic diversity of micro-organisms able to catabolize carbofuran.     

Nucleotide Sequence of the Gene for an Alkaline Endoglucanase from an Alkalophilic Bacillus and Its Expression in Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis

The gene for an alkaline endoglucanase from the alkalophilic Bacillus sp. KSM-64 was cloned into the HindIII site of pBR322 and expressed in Escherichia coli HB101. The nucleotide sequence of a 4.1-kb region of the HindIII insert had two open reading frames, ORF-1 and ORF-2. The protein deduced from ORF-1 was composed of 244 amino acids with an M_r of 27,865. Subcloning analysis proved that the alkaline endoglucanase was encoded by ORF-2 (822 amino acids with an M_r of 91,040). Upstream from ORF-2, there were three consensus like sequences of the sigma A-type promoter of Bacillus subtilis, a putative Shine-Dalgarno sequence (AGGAGGT), and a catabolite repression operator-like sequence (TGTAAGC-GGTTAACC). The HindIII insert was subcloned into a shuttle vector, pHY300PLK, and the encoded alkaline endoglucanase gene was highly expressed both in E. coli and B. subtilis. One of the three promoter-like sequences in ORF-2 could be suitable for high levels of enzyme expression in both host organisms.     

Cloning and Sequencing of an Endoglucanase Gene from Scopulariopsis brevicaulis TOF-1212, and Its Expression in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

The egI gene, encoding a major endoglucanase (EGI) of Scopulariopsis brevicaulis TOF-1212, was cloned and sequenced. The egI gene consisted of 868 bp with one intron and encoded a protein of 229 amino acids with a calculated molecular mass of 22,392 daltons. The EGI was assigned to a family 45 of glycosyl hydrolases and showed high similarity with other fungal endoglucanases, especially with those of Humicola grisea and Fusarium oxysporum, on the basis of hydrophobic cluster analysis. The egI gene was expressed under the promoter of the phosphoglycerate kinase gene (PGK) in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The transformed cells were able to secrete the enzyme efficiently in an active form.     

Purification and Characterization of an Endoglucanase from Pseudomonas solanacearum

Comparative analysis by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of culture supernatants of a virulent Pseudomonas solanacearum strain and of a spontaneous avirulent mutant derived from it was performed. The results show that the levels of two major polypeptides with molecular masses of 43 and 25 kilodaltons (kDa) were markedly reduced in the spent culture medium of the avirulent mutant. In addition, enzyme assays showed that the level of carboxymethyl cellulase (endoglucanase) activity in the culture supernatants of the avirulent mutant was reduced over 25-fold, whereas polygalacturonase activities in both strains were nearly identical. Purification of the endoglucanase from the spent culture medium of the virulent P. solanacearum strain by adsorption to phosphocellulose, salt elution, and gel-filtration chromatography yielded a >95% pure preparation of the 43-kDa polypeptide. The kinetic and enzymatic properties of the purified endoglucanase were subsequently analyzed. Antibody prepared against the purified 43-kDa endoglucanase was used to demonstrate its production by several strains of P. solanacearum races 1 and 2.     

Development of a Genetic Transformation System for an Alga-Lysing Bacterium

Four marine bacteria, Alteromonas sp. strains A27, A28, A29, and A30, that lyse the diatom Skeletonema costatum NIES-324 were isolated from coastal seawater samples. They were also able to lyse the diatoms Thalassiosira sp. and Eucampia zodiacs and the raphidophycean flagellate Chattonella antiqua. Cryptic indigenous plasmids, designated pAS28 and pAS29, were detected in Alteromonas sp. strains A28 and A29, respectively. These plasmids appeared to be similar based on size and restriction site analysis. A shuttle vector that replicates in Escherichia coli and Alteromonas sp. strain A28 was constructed by fusing pAS28 and E. coli vector pCRIIc. The 16-kbp chimeric plasmid, designated pASS1, had the ability to transform strain A28 at a frequency of 10⁶ transformants per μg of DNA. Deletion analysis of pASS1 showed that the 4.7-kb EcoRI-HindIII region of pAS28 was essential for plasmid maintenance in strain A28. This EcoRI-HindIII fragment contained an open reading frame which appeared to encode a 708-amino-acid protein.
