Cloning of a novel gene encoding beta-1,3-xylosidase from a marine bacterium, Vibrio sp. strain XY-214, and characterization of the gene product

The beta-1,3-xylosidase gene (xloA) of Vibrio sp. strain XY-214 was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli. The xloA gene consisted of a 1,608-bp nucleotide sequence encoding a protein of 535 amino acids with a predicted molecular weight of 60,835. The recombinant beta-1,3-xylosidase hydrolyzed beta-1,3-xylooligosaccharides to D-xylose as a final product.     

Cloning, sequencing, and expression in Escherichia coli of the new gene encoding beta-1,3-xylanase from a marine bacterium, Vibrio sp. strain XY-214

The Vibrio sp. strain XY-214 beta-1,3-xylanase gene cloned in Escherichia coli DH5alpha consisted of an open reading frame of 1, 383 nucleotides encoding a protein of 460 amino acids with a molecular mass of 51,323 Da and had a signal peptide of 22 amino acids. The transformant enzyme hydrolyzed beta-1,3-xylan to produce several xylooligosaccharides.     

Serological evidence for H-Y antigen in XO-female mice

Summary H-Y antigen was examined in XX-, XY-, and XO-mice using spleen, kidney, and liver cells of the animals for the absorption of the anti-H-Y antiserum produced in the rat. The cells of the XY- and XO-mice were found to be H-Y antigenpositive while the cells of the XX-mice were negative. As in Turner syndrome patients with 45,X, in the XO-female mice the H-Y antigen titre was reduced as compared to normal XY-male mice; intermediate values between those of normal male and female mice were obtained. These results clearly indicate that as in man, in the mouse the structural gene for H-Y antigen is not Y-linked but is located on an autosome. Furthermore, the concept of the regulation of the H-Y antigen gene expression in the human (Wolf et al. 1980a, b) by an X-linked repressor gene, escaping X-inactivation in the XX-female and an Y-linked inducer gene also seems to hold true in the mouse.     

d-Xylose Isomerase from a Marine Bacterium, Vibrio sp. Strain XY-214, and d-Xylulose Production from β-1,3-Xylan

The xylA gene from a marine bacterium, Vibrio sp. strain XY-214, encoding d-xylose isomerase (XylA) was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli. The xylA gene consisted of 1,320-bp nucleotides encoding a protein of 439 amino acids with a predicted molecular weight of 49,264. XylA was classified into group II xylose isomerases. The native XylA was estimated to be a homotetramer with a molecular mass of 190 kDa. The purified recombinant XylA exhibited maximal activity at 60°C and pH 7.5. Its apparent K _m values for d-xylose and d-glucose were 7.93 and 187 mM, respectively. Furthermore, we carried out d-xylulose production from β-1,3-xylan, a major cell wall polysaccharide component of the killer alga Caulerpa taxifolia. The synergistic action of β-1,3-xylanase (TxyA) and β-1,3-xylosidase (XloA) from Vibrio sp. strain XY-214 enabled efficient saccharification of β-1,3-xylan to d-xylose. d-Xylose was then converted to d-xylulose by using XylA from the strain XY-214. The conversion rate of d-xylose to d-xylulose by XylA was found to be approximately 40% in the presence of 4 mM sodium tetraborate after 2 h of incubation. These results demonstrated that TxyA, XloA, and XylA from Vibrio sp. strain XY-214 are useful tools for d-xylulose production from β-1,3-xylan. Because d-xylulose can be used as a source for ethanol fermentation by yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the present study will provide a basis for ethanol production from β-1,3-xylan.     

Cloning, Sequencing, and Expression in Escherichia coli of the New Gene Encoding β-1,3-Xylanase from a Marine Bacterium, Vibrio sp. Strain XY-214

The Vibrio sp. strain XY-214 β-1,3-xylanase gene cloned in Escherichia coli DH5α consisted of an open reading frame of 1,383 nucleotides encoding a protein of 460 amino acids with a molecular mass of 51,323 Da and had a signal peptide of 22 amino acids. The transformant enzyme hydrolyzed β-1,3-xylan to produce several xylooligosaccharides.     

Purification and characterization of beta-1,3-xylanase from a marine bacterium, Vibrio sp. XY-214

beta-1,3-Xylanase was purified to gel electrophoretic homogeneity and 83-fold from a cell-free culture fluid of Vibrio sp. XY-214 by ammonium sulfate precipitation and successive chromatographies. The enzyme had a pl of 3.6 and a molecular mass of 52 kDa. The enzyme had the highest level of activity at pH 7.0 and 37 degrees C. The enzyme activity was completely inhibited by Cu2+, Hg2+, and N-bromosuccinimide. The enzyme hydrolyzed beta-1,3-xylan to produce mainly xylotriose and xylobiose but did not act on xylobiose, p-nitrophenyl-beta-D-xyloside, beta-1,4-xylan, beta-1,3-glucan, or carboxymethyl cellulose.     

An effect of mate fertility on the attractiveness and oviposition rates of mated Drosophila melanogaster females

Mate fertility has a strong influence on the sexual receptivity of mated Drosophila melanogaster females, but an effect of mate fertility on the attractiveness of mated females has not previously been demonstrated. We compared the declines in attractiveness over the first 10 h after mating for females mated to fertile (XY) males and those mated to sterile (XO) males, and found a significant effect of mate fertility. A large and significant decrease in attractiveness, that is the same for both XY- and XO-mated females, is evident during the first 4 h after mating. However, a further decline in attractiveness occurs between 4 and 6 h after mating for XY-mated females, but not until between 6 and 10 h after mating for females with sterile mates. Thus, XY-mated females are significantly less attractive than XO-mated females at 6–8 h post-mating, but not at any other time. A sharp increase in oviposition rates for both types of mated females is associated with the decline in attractiveness that occurs between 4 and 10 h after mating.     

The first crystal structure of a family 31 carbohydrate-binding module with affinity to beta-1,3-xylan

Here, we present the crystal structure of the family 31 carbohydrate-binding module (CBM) of beta-1,3-xylanase from Alcaligenes sp. strain XY-234 (AlcCBM31) determined at a resolution of 1.25A. The AlcCBM31 shows affinity with only beta-1,3-xylan. The AlcCBM31 molecule makes a beta-sandwich structure composed of eight beta-strands with a typical immunoglobulin fold and contains two intra-molecular disulfide bonds. The folding topology of AlcCBM31 differs from that of the large majority of other CBMs, in which eight beta-strands comprise a beta-sandwich structure with a typical jelly-roll fold. AlcCBM31 shows structural similarity with CBM structures of family 34 and family 9, which also adopt structures based on immunoglobulin folds.     

FISH analysis of all fetal nucleated cells in maternal whole blood: improved specificity by the use of two Y-chromosome probes.

Current cytogenetic approaches in noninvasive prenatal diagnosis focus on fetal nucleated red blood cells in maternal blood. This practice may be too restrictive because a vast proportion of other fetal cells is ignored. Recent studies have indicated that fetal cells can be directly detected, without prior enrichment, in maternal blood samples by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) analysis for chromosomes X and Y (XY-FISH). In our blinded analysis of 40 maternal blood samples, we therefore examined all fetal cells without any enrichment. Initial examinations using conventional XY-FISH indicated a low specificity of 69.4%, which could be improved to 89.5% by the use of two different Y-chromosome-specific probes (YY-FISH) with only a slight concomitant decrease in sensitivity (52.4% vs 42.9%). On average, 12-20 male fetal cells/ml of maternal blood were identified by XY- and YY-FISH, respectively.     

Purification and characterization of beta-1,3-xylanase from a marine bacterium,Alcaligenes sp. XY-234

A beta-1,3-xylanase-producing bacterium, Alcaligenes sp. XY-234, was isolated from the marine environment. The organism produced endo-1,3-beta-xylanase at a high level in the culture fluid. The enzyme was purified 292-fold by ammonium sulfate precipitation and several column chromatographies. The final enzyme preparation appeared to be homogeneous on disc gel electrophoresis and SDS-PAGE with a molecular mass of 59 kDa, and the pI was 4.0. The enzyme hydrolyzed beta-1,3-xylan and larger xylooligosaccharides than xylobiose to give several xylooligosaccharides, but it could not hydrolyze xylobiose, p-nitrophenyl-beta-D-xyloside, and beta-1,4-xylan. The Km of the enzyme was 4.0 mg/ml. Optimal pH and temperature were 7.5 and 40 degrees C, respectively. It was stable from pH 6.0 to 10 and at a temperature of less than 40 degrees C. The enzyme was strongly inhibited by 1 mM HgCl(2)., AlCl(3), CuCl(2), FeCl(3), HgCl(2), Pb(CH(3)COO) (2), and N-bromosuccinimide.
