Summary Twenty proteins were isolated from the 30S ribosomal subunits of Bacillus subtilis and their amino acid compositions and amino-terminal amino acid sequences were determined. These results were compared with the data of Escherichia coli 30S ribosomal proteins and the structural correspondence of individual ribosomal proteins has been established between B. subtilis and E. coli.Post-translational modifications of amino-terminal amino acids of the ribosomal proteins which have been found in E. coli are almost absent in B. subtilis with the exception of acetylated forms of S9. 相似文献

Summary The molecular structure of RNA polymerases from Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhimurium, Salmonella anatum, Serratia marcescens, Aerobacter aerogenes, Proteus mirabilis and Bacillus subtilis were compared based on: i) inhibition of the enzyme activity by treatment with antibodies against E. coli RNA polymerase subunits; ii) analysis of antibody precipitates by sodium dodecyl sulfatepolyacrylamide gel electrophoresis; and iii) analysis of antibody precipitates by urea-isoelectrofocusing followed by sodium dodecyl sulfate-slab gel electrophoresis in the second dimension.All the bacterial RNA polymerases examined cross-react equally with anti-E. coli holopolymerase but exhibit different extents of cross-reaction with antibodies against individual subunits. Except for B. subtilis RNA polymerase, the molecular weight and isoelectric point of the enzyme subunits are close to those of E. coli polymerase. However, minor differences were found at least within the resolution of the techniques employed: S. anatum polymerase has subunit larger than E. coli subunit; P. mirabilis enzyme has subunit larger in size and more acidic in charge, and subunit smaller and more basic than corresponding E. coli subunits. The electrophoretic map of B. subtilis enzyme subunits is completely different from that of E. coli enzyme. 相似文献

Summary The cyclomaltodextrin glucanotransferase (CGTase, E.C. 2.4.1.19) gene from an alkalophilic Bacillus circulans var. alkalophilus ATCC21783 was cloned into Escherichia coli and B. subtilis. When cloned from E. coli to B. subtilis, the entire insert containing the CGTase gene was, depending on the plasmid construction, either unstable or the recombinant B. subtilis did not secrete the enzyme in significant amounts. To achieve efficient enzyme production in B. subtilis, the gene was placed under the control of the B. amyloliquefaciens -amylase promoter. In one of the constructions, both the promoter and the signal sequence of the gene were replaced with those of B. amyloliquefaciens, whereas in another construction only the promoter area was exchanged. The recombinant B. subtilis clones transformed with these plasmid constructions secreted CGTase into the culture medium 14 times as much as did the parental strain in shake flask cultures. In fermentor cultures in an industrially feasible medium the enzyme production was substantially higher, yielding 1.2 g/l of CGTase, which is about 33 times the amount of the enzyme produced by the parental strain in corresponding fermentations. Both of the plasmid constructions were stable when grown over 50 generations without antibiotic selection. 相似文献

Summary A recombinant cosmid carrying the sucrase gene (sacA) was obtained from a colony bank ofE. coli harboring recombinant cosmids representative of theB. subtilis genome. It was shown that thesacA gene is located in a 2 kbEcoRI fragment and that the cloned sequence is homologous to the corresponding chromosomal DNA fragment. A fragment of 2 kb containing the gene was subcloned in both orientations in the bifunctional vector pHV33 and expression was further looked for inB. subtilis andE. coli. Complementation of asacA mutation was observed in Rec+ and Rec- strains ofB. subtilis. Expression of sucrase was also demonstrated inE.coli, which is normally devoid of this activity, by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, specific immunoprecipitation and assay of the enzyme in crude extracts. The specific activity of the enzyme depended on the orientation of the inserted fragment. The saccharolytic activity was found to be cryptic inE. coli since the presence of the recombinant plasmids did not allow the transport of [U14C] sucrose and the growth of the cells.It was shown also that the recombinant cosmid contained part of the neighboring locus (sacP) which corresponds to a component of the PEP-dependent phosphotransferase system of sucrose transport ofB. subtilis. 相似文献

The biosynthesis of iron–sulfur (Fe–S) clusters in Bacillus subtilis is mediated by the SUF‐like system composed of the sufCDSUB gene products. This system is unique in that it is a chimeric machinery comprising homologues of E. coli SUF components (SufS, SufB, SufC and SufD) and an ISC component (IscU). B. subtilis SufS cysteine desulfurase transfers persulfide sulfur to SufU (the IscU homologue); however, it has remained controversial whether SufU serves as a scaffold for Fe–S cluster assembly, like IscU, or acts as a sulfur shuttle protein, like E. coli SufE. Here we report that reengineering of the isoprenoid biosynthetic pathway in B. subtilis can offset the indispensability of the sufCDSUB operon, allowing the resultant Δsuf mutants to grow without detectable Fe–S proteins. Heterologous bidirectional complementation studies using B. subtilis and E. coli mutants showed that B. subtilis SufSU is interchangeable with E. coli SufSE but not with IscSU. In addition, functional similarity in SufB, SufC and SufD was observed between B. subtilis and E. coli. Our findings thus indicate that B. subtilis SufU is the protein that transfers sulfur from SufS to SufB, and that the SufBCD complex is the site of Fe–S cluster assembly. 相似文献

Summary The structural gene for the enzyme levanase of Bacillus subtilis (SacC) was cloned in Escherichia coli. The cloned gene was mapped by PBS1 transduction near the sacL locus on the B. subtilis chromosome, between leu4 and aroD. Expression of the enzyme was demonstrated both in B. subtilis and in E. coli. The presence of sacC allowed E. coli to grow on sucrose as the sole carbon source. The complete nucleotide sequence of sacC was determined. It includes an open reading frame of 2,031 bp, coding for a protein with calculated molecular weight of 75,866 Da, including a putative signal peptide similar to precursors of secreted proteins found in Bacilli. The apparent molecular weight of purified levanase is 73 kDa. The sacC gene product was characterized in an in vitro system and in a minicellproducing strain of E. coli, confirming the existence of a precursor form of levanase of about 75 kDa. Comparison of the predicted aminoacid sequence of levanase with those of the two other known -D-fructofuranosidases of B. subtilis indicated a homology with sucrase, but not with levansucrase. A stronger homology was detected with the N-terminal region of yeast invertase, suggesting the existence of a common ancestor. 相似文献

Nattokinase producing bacterium, B. subtilis YF38, was isolated from douchi, using the fibrin plate method. The gene encoding this enzyme was cloned by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Cytoplasmic
expression of this enzyme in E. coli resulted in inactive inclusion bodies. But with the help of two different signal peptides, the native signal peptide of nattokinase
and the signal peptide of PelB, active nattokinase was successfully expressed in E. coli with periplasmic secretion, and the nattokinase in culture medium displayed high fibrinolytic activity. The fibrinolytic
activity of the expressed enzyme in the culture was determined to reach 260 urokinase units per micro-liter when the recombinant
strain was induced by 0.7 mmol l−1 isopropyl-β-D- thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG) at 20°C for 20 h, resulting 49.3 mg active enzyme per liter culture. The characteristic
of this recombinant nattokinase is comparable to the native nattokinase from B. subtilis YF38. Secretory expression of nattokinase in E. coli would facilitate the development of this enzyme into a therapeutic product for the control and prevention of thrombosis diseases. 相似文献

Summary A kanamycin-resistant plasmid possessing a thermostable replicon derived from Bacillus stearothermophilus cryptic plasmid pSTK1 was constructed. The plasmid could transform not only B. stearothermophilus and Bacillus subtilis, but also Gram-negative Escherichia coli. The behavior of the plasmid in the hosts was examined. The plasmid was stably maintained even at 67°C in B. stearothermophilus without selective pressure. During the plasmid replication, single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) intermediates were found in E. coli, while these were not found in B. subtilis. 相似文献

Summary -Isopropylmalate (IPM) dehydrogenase gene of Citrobacter freundii was cloned in both Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis. Plasmid pCBL 1 containing C. freundii -IPM dehydrogenase gene was isolated using E. coli (leuB) as a host, pBR 322 as a vector and Hind III as an enzyme. The molecular weight (mol.wt.) of pCBL 1 was 7.7 megadalton (Md) and the plasmid was restricted at two sites by Hind III or Sal I, at three sites by BamH I and at four sites by Pst I. The second hybrid plasmid pCBL 2 containing -IPM dehydrogenase gene was reconstructed from 2.1 Md Pst I fragment of pCBL 1 and pBR 322. -IPM dehydrogenase activities of E. coli transformants with pCBL 1 or pCBL 2 were 2–7-fold higher than those of the present strains. The -IPM dehydrogenase gene was transferred from pBR 322 to pLS 353, a shuttle vector between E. coli and B. subtilis. The third plasmid, pCBL 3 (mol.wt. 5.6Md), was cloned in B. subtilis (leuC) and expressed the enzyme activity which complemented the Leucharacter. The enzyme activities of B. subtilis transformants with pCBL 3 were about 5-fold higher than those of present strains. Thus, the C. freundii gene was effectively expressed in both E. coli and B. subtilis. 相似文献

Summary Cloning in Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis was carried out using the bifunctional plasmid pDH5060. B. subtilis chromosomal DNA and pDH5060 DNA were digested with either BamHI or SalI, then annealed, ligated, and transformed into E. coli SK2267. Transformants containing sequences ligated into the BamHI or SalI sites in the Tcr gene of pDH5060 were selected directly using a modification of the fusaric acid technique. The BamHI and SalI clone banks contain about 250 and 140 B. subtilis fragments, respectively, with an average insert size of 8–9 Kbp in the BamHI and 4–5 Kbp in the SalI bank. The inserts ranged in size from 0.3 Kbp to greater than 20 Kbp. The vector used here therefore accepts inserts which are significantly larger than previously reported for other B. subtilis cloning systems. All individual cloned B. subtilis sequences examined were stably propagated in E. coli SK2267. Eight of eighteen B. subtilis auxotrophic markers tested (aroG, gltA, glyB, ilvA, metC, purA, pyrD, and thrA) were transformed to prototrophy with BamHI or SalI clone bank DNA. All or part of the hybrid plasmid DNA recombined at the sites of homology in the chromosome of these Rec+ recipients. Loss of sequences from hybrid plasmids was not prevented in a r

recE4 recipient strain of B. subtilis. Although the recE4 background prevented recombination between homologous chromosomal DNA, a variety of cloned fragments were shown to be unstable and undergo deletions of both insert and plasmid sequences. In addition, B. subtilis sequences propagated in E. coli transformed B. subtilis recE4 recipients with a 500-1,000-fold reduced efficiency. 相似文献

Enzyme IIA and HPr are central regulatory proteins of the bacterial phosphoenolpyruvate:sugar phosphotransferase (PTS) system. Three-dimensional structures of the glucose enzyme IIA domain (IIAglc) and HPr of Bacillus subtilis and Escherichia coli have been studied by both X-ray crystallography and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) Spectroscopy. Phosphorylation of HPr of B. subtilis and IIAglc of E. coli have also been characterized by NMR spectroscopy. In addition, the binding interfaces of B. subtilis HPr and IIAglc have been identified from backbone chemical shift changes. This paper reviews these recent advances in the understanding of the three-dimensional structures of HPr and IIAglc and their interaction with each other. © 1993 Wiley-Liss, Inc. 相似文献

Single-stranded DNA-binding proteins (SSBs) are required for repair, recombination and replication in all organisms. Eukaryotic SSBs are regulated by phosphorylation on serine and threonine residues. To our knowledge, phosphorylation of SSBs in bacteria has not been reported. A systematic search for phosphotyrosine-containing proteins in Streptomyces griseus by immunoaffinity chromatography identified bacterial SSBs as a novel target of bacterial tyrosine kinases. Since genes encoding protein-tyrosine kinases (PTKs) have not been recognized in streptomycetes, and SSBs from Streptomyces coelicolor (ScSSB) and Bacillus subtilis (BsSSB) share 38.7% identity, we used a B.subtilis protein-tyrosine kinase YwqD to phosphorylate two cognate SSBs (BsSSB and YwpH) in vitro. We demonstrate that in vivo phosphorylation of B.subtilis SSB occurs on tyrosine residue 82, and this reaction is affected antagonistically by kinase YwqD and phosphatase YwqE. Phosphorylation of B.subtilis SSB increased binding almost 200-fold to single-stranded DNA in vitro. Tyrosine phosphorylation of B.subtilis, S.coelicolor and Escherichia coli SSBs occured while they were expressed in E.coli, indicating that tyrosine phosphorylation of SSBs is a conserved process of post-translational modification in taxonomically distant bacteria. 相似文献

Summary The structural gene for the Bacillus stearothermophilus glycogen branching enzyme (glgB) was cloned in Escherichia coli. Nucleotide sequence analysis revealed a 1917 nucleotide open reading frame (ORF) encoding a protein with an Mr of 74787 showing extensive similarity to other bacterial branching enzymes, but with a shorter N-terminal region. A second ORF of 951 nucleotides encoding a 36971 Da protein started upstream of the glgB gene. The N-terminus of the ORF2 gene product had similarity to the Alcaligenes eutrophus czcD gene, which is involved in cobalt-zinc-cadmium resistance. The B. stearothermophilus glgB gene was preceded by a sequence with extensive similarity to promoters recognized by Bacillus subtilis RNA polymerase containing sigma factor H (E - H). The glgB promoter was utilized in B. subtilis exclusively in the stationary phase, and only transcribed at low levels in B. subtilis spoOH, indicating that sigma factor H was essential for the expression of the glgB gene in B. subtilis. In an expression vector, the B. stearothermophilus glgB gene directed the synthesis of a thermostable branching enzyme in E. coli as well as in B. subtilis, with optimal branching activity at 53° C. 相似文献

Summary Protein L27 has been localized on the ribosomal surface by immuno-electron microscopy by using antibodies specific for Escherichia coli L27, and by reconstituting 50 S subunits from an E. coli mutant, which lacks protein L27, with the homologous protein from Bacillus subtilis and using antibodies specific for the B. subtilis protein. With both approaches, protein L27 has been located at the base of the central protuberance at the interface side of the 50 S particle and thus in proximity to the peptidyl transferase centre. The immuno-electron microscopic data also suggest that the interface region of the 50 S particle is not as flat as most of the proposed three-dimensional models suggest, but instead there is a significant depression. 相似文献

Bacillus subtilis CtaA and CtaB function in haem A biosynthesis 总被引:7,自引:1,他引:6
Haem A, a prosthetic group of many respiratory oxidases, is probably synthesized from haem B (protohaem IX) in a pathway in which haem O is an intermediate. Possible roles of the Bacillus subtilis ctaA and CtaB gene products in haem O and haem A synthesis were studied. Escherichia coli does not contain haem A. The CtaA gene on plasmids in E. coli resulted in haem A accumulation in membranes. The presence of CtaB together with ctaA increased the amount of haem A found in E. coli. Haem O was not detected in wild-type B. subtilis strains. A previously isolated B. subtilis CtaA deletion mutant was found to contain haem B and haem O, but not haem A. B. subtilis ctaB deletion mutants were constructed and found to tack both haem A and haem O. The results with E. coli and B. subtilis strongly suggest that the B. subtilis CtaA protein functions in haem A synthesis. It is tentatively suggested that it functions in the oxygeNatlon/oxidation of the methyl side group of carbon 8 of haem O. B. subtilis CtaB, which is homologous to Saccharomyces cerevisiae COX10 and E. coli CyoE, also has a role in haem A synthesis and seems to be required for both cytochrome a and cytochrome o synthesis. 相似文献

Bacterial cell division is mediated by a set of proteins that assemble to form a large multiprotein complex called the divisome. Recent studies in Bacillus subtilis and Escherichia coli indicate that cell division proteins are involved in multiple cooperative binding interactions, thus presenting a technical challenge to the analysis of these interactions. We report here the use of an E. coli artificial septal targeting system for examining the interactions between the B. subtilis cell division proteins DivIB, FtsL, DivIC, and PBP 2B. This technique involves the fusion of one of the proteins (the “bait”) to ZapA, an E. coli protein targeted to mid-cell, and the fusion of a second potentially interacting partner (the “prey”) to green fluorescent protein (GFP). A positive interaction between two test proteins in E. coli leads to septal localization of the GFP fusion construct, which can be detected by fluorescence microscopy. Using this system, we present evidence for two sets of strong protein-protein interactions between B. subtilis divisomal proteins in E. coli, namely, DivIC with FtsL and DivIB with PBP 2B, that are independent of other B. subtilis cell division proteins and that do not disturb the cytokinesis process in the host cell. Our studies based on the coexpression of three or four of these B. subtilis cell division proteins suggest that interactions among these four proteins are not strong enough to allow the formation of a stable four-protein complex in E. coli in contrast to previous suggestions. Finally, our results demonstrate that E. coli artificial septal targeting is an efficient and alternative approach for detecting and characterizing stable protein-protein interactions within multiprotein complexes from other microorganisms. A salient feature of our approach is that it probably only detects the strongest interactions, thus giving an indication of whether some interactions suggested by other techniques may either be considerably weaker or due to false positives. 相似文献

Bacillus licheniformis (B. licheniformis) CH3-17, an isolate from cheonggukjang, a traditional Korean fermented soyfood, secretes several fibrinolytic enzymes into the culture medium, showing strong fibrinolytic
activity. A gene homologous to aprE of Bacillus subtilis (B. subtilis), aprE3-17, was cloned by PCR. DNA sequencing showed that aprE3-17 encodes a prepro-type serine protease consisting of 382 amino acids. The mature enzyme was 27 kDa in size. The aprE3-17 gene was overexpressed in B. subtilis WB600 using pHY300PLK, an Escherichia coli (E. coli)-Bacillus shuttle vector, and the 27 kDa enzyme was purified from the culture supernatant. The optimum pH for activity was 6.0. Purified
enzyme quickly degraded the Aα and Bβ chains of fibrinogen but could not degrade the γ-chain. 相似文献

Summary We have cloned the hisH tyrA wild-type genes of Bacillus subtilis with the aid of the chimeric plasmid pBJ194, which replicates both in B. subtilis and Escherichia coli. Primary cloning was done in E. coli. The original E. coli clone, carrying the recombinant plasmid (pGR1) which complements hisH tyrA mutants of B. subtilis, was selected directly from a mixture of plated E. coli clones by replicaplating these clones onto minimal agar plates without tyrosine spread just before with competent B. subtilis cells. After overnight incubation clusters of small colonies had developed exclusively in the E. coli [pGR1] colony prints.The Tyr+ minicolonies were shown to be B. subtilis carrying pGR1 because (i) their appearance depended linearly on the number of B. subtilis cells plated, (ii) they produced extracellular protease and amylase and (iii) plasmids could be reisolated from the minicolonies and used to transform B. subtilis recE4 tyrA1 both to Cmr and Tyr+.Plasmid pGR1 transfer through replica plating was compared with plasmid transfer in liquid. Both systems depended on transformable B. subtilis strains and were sensitive to DNAseI. However, whereas integration of the tyrA
+ gene into the chromosome and concomittant loss of plasmids occurred frequently during regular plasmid transformation of Rec+
B. subtilis, this was a rare event during plasmid transfer through replica plating. 相似文献
