Infrared spectra of E. coli strain JM103 and transformants which overproduced recombinant proinsulin have been measured as a function of pressure up to 38 kbar. It is the first time that high-pressure infrared spectra of live bacteria have been successfully measured. In ambient conditions, spectra of the host strain JM103 and the transformants are generally identical. However, under pressure, distinct shifting pattern can be observed in specific spectral parameters of transformants, presumably due to accumulation of proinsulin in form of cytoplasmic inclusion bodies. In particular, the pressure-induced frequency shift of the amide III band (1235 cm-1) in the proinsulin-producing transformants is much smaller than in the host JM103. This pressure effect can potentially be an efficient approach to monitor maximum gene expression in microorganisms. Contrary to predictions based on model system, the pressure-induced denaturation and the sharp transition from disordered liquid crystalline state to the ordered gel state commonly observed in the aqueous solution of protein and aqueous bilayer dispersion of lipids, respectively, do not occur in the bacterial proteins and cell membrane of E. coli. 相似文献

The gene for the CD4-membrane glycoprotein-receptor for HIV has been cloned. The 179 amino acids fragment of the CD4-receptor responsible for binding of gp120 HIV glycoprotein has been fused with beta-galactosidase and shown to be expressed in Escherichia coli cells. The recombinant protein in ELISA and immunoblotting techniques reacts with the monoclonal antibodies OKT4A and Leu3A known to block the interaction between the CD4 and gp120 HIV glycoprotein. The recombinant protein can be used for different scientific and practical purposes including studying of the mechanisms for HIV interaction with the sensitive cells as well as for viral gp120 protein purification, etc. 相似文献

The uvrA6 mutation has been cloned on a multicopy plasmid by using a chloramphenicol resistance marker introduced next to the uvrA gene in the Escherichia coli chromosome. The mutation was shown to reside in the N-terminal part of the uvrA gene. Sequencing part of this region of the mutant gene revealed a frameshift mutation at positions 207 to 209, which leads to a stop codon at position 262. A marker rescue experiment showed that this frameshift is the only mutation responsible for the UV-sensitive phenotype of the UvrA6 mutant. The method presented is suitable for the cloning of every chromosomal uvrA mutation and can be useful for the study of the functional domains of the UvrA protein. 相似文献

The barrier to the Escherichia coli gene expression in bacillar cells is caused both by differences in DNA regulatory elements involved in the interaction with RNA polymerase and ribosomes, and by the structure and function features of the very enzymes which carry out this interaction. 相似文献

Human beta-defensin-2 (hBD-2), a small cationic peptide, exhibits a broad range of antimicrobial activity. It has been found to play important roles in innate and adaptive immune responses against microbial invasion. For the purposes of this study, hBD-2 gene was cloned from the lesions of human condyloma acuminatum. An expression vector was constructed and transformed into E. coli. hBD-2 was expressed as a fusion protein in both the soluble and insoluble forms, which was further confirmed by western blotting analysis. 相似文献

We have determined the nucleotide sequence of the uvrA gene of Escherichia coli. The coding region of the gene is 2820 base pairs which specifies a protein of 940 amino acids and Mr = 103,874. The polypeptide sequence predicted from the DNA sequence was confirmed by analyzing the UvrA protein: the sequence of the first 7 NH2-terminal amino acids as well as the amino acid composition of the pure protein agreed with those predicted from the nucleotide sequence. By comparing the sequence of UvrA protein to the amino acid sequences of other ATPases, we found that two regions in the UvrA protein, separated from one another by about 600 amino acids, have the highly conserved G-X4-GKT(S)-X6-I(V) sequence found at the active sites of many, but not all, ATPases. Our findings suggest that UvrA protein may have two ATP binding sites. 相似文献

The hha gene modulates haemolysin expression in Escherichia coli 总被引:5,自引:2,他引:3

A mutation in the hha allele results in a large increase in the production of intracellular as well as extracellular haemolysin in Escherichia coli cells harbouring the haemolytic recombinant plasmid pANN202-312. This single gene mutation was located between 490 and 491.6kb on the physical map of the E. coli chromosome. From the DNA sequence of hha a small polypeptide of 8629 Da was predicted and was expressed in minicells. The deduced polypeptide sequence did not show significant similarities to other characterized proteins related to the regulation of gene expression in E. coli, although it was shown that the hha mutation increases cyloplasmic synthesis of haemolysin. 相似文献

1. A plasmid for constitutive expression of the human interferon-alpha 1 (hIFN-alpha 1) gene in Escherichia coli is constructed on the basis of the cloning plasmid pBR322 using a strong synthetic promoter, synthetic ribosome binding site and a native hIFN-alpha 1 gene excised from a chromosomal clone. 2. The yield of recombinant hIFN-alpha 1 from E. coli LE392 cells transformed with the expression plasmid pJP1R9-hIFN-alpha 1 is evaluated to be 2-6 x 10(7) U/l bacterial culture for metabolic shaker and 6-8 x 10(7) U/l for fermentor. 相似文献

Global gene expression in Escherichia coli biofilms 总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9
It is now apparent that microorganisms undergo significant changes during the transition from planktonic to biofilm growth. These changes result in phenotypic adaptations that allow the formation of highly organized and structured sessile communities, which possess enhanced resistance to antimicrobial treatments and host immune defence responses. Escherichia coli has been used as a model organism to study the mechanisms of growth within adhered communities. In this study, we use DNA microarray technology to examine the global gene expression profile of E. coli during sessile growth compared with planktonic growth. Genes encoding proteins involved in adhesion (type 1 fimbriae) and, in particular, autoaggregation (Antigen 43) were highly expressed in the adhered population in a manner that is consistent with current models of sessile community development. Several novel gene clusters were induced upon the transition to biofilm growth, and these included genes expressed under oxygen-limiting conditions, genes encoding (putative) transport proteins, putative oxidoreductases and genes associated with enhanced heavy metal resistance. Of particular interest was the observation that many of the genes altered in expression have no current defined function. These genes, as well as those induced by stresses relevant to biofilm growth such as oxygen and nutrient limitation, may be important factors that trigger enhanced resistance mechanisms of sessile communities to antibiotics and hydrodynamic shear forces. 相似文献
