The β-glucosidase enzyme is important as the terminal enzyme involved in hydrolysis of cellobiose and short-chain cellodextrins generated during enzymatic cellulose degradation. Under controlled reaction conditions the enzyme also displays cello-oligosaccharide synthesizing ability (based on either the thermodynamic or kinetic approach). We present here the purification of the enzyme β-glucosidase (BGL) of Pichia etchellsii from recombinant pBG55 Escherichia coli clone. The kinetic parameters, substrate specificity and oligosaccharide synthesizing ability of the purified enzyme are also reported. The purified 200-kDa protein (tetramer of 50 kDa) was identified as a broad-substrate-specificity enzyme exhibiting increased temperature and glucose tolerance compared to the native yeast enzyme. Temperature directed substrate specificity for aryl β,1–4 linkage, and β(1–2), β(1–4), β(1–6) and β(2-1) linkages in various natural disaccharides was observed. Glycosylation of the enzyme was found to be unimportant for enzyme activity. With both cellobiose and glucose, oligosaccharide synthesis was detected. The implications of this information with regard to cellulose hydrolysis and oligosaccharide synthesis are discussed. 相似文献

β-Galactosidase or lactase is a very important enzyme in the food industry, being that from the yeast Kluyveromyces lactis the most widely used. Here we report its three-dimensional structure both in the free state and complexed with the product galactose. The monomer folds into five domains in a pattern conserved with the prokaryote enzymes of the GH2 family, although two long insertions in domains 2 and 3 are unique and related to oligomerization and specificity. The tetrameric enzyme is a dimer of dimers, with higher dissociation energy for the dimers than for its assembly. Two active centers are located at the interface within each dimer in a narrow channel. The insertion at domain 3 protrudes into this channel and makes putative links with the aglycone moiety of docked lactose. In spite of common structural features related to function, the determinants of the reaction mechanism proposed for Escherichia coli β-galactosidase are not found in the active site of the K. lactis enzyme. This is the first X-ray crystal structure for a β-galactosidase used in food processing. 相似文献

Growth and β-galactosidase (β-gal) expression were characterized in the yeast Kluyveromyces lactis strain NRRL Y-1118 growing in aerobic chemostat cultures under carbon, nitrogen or phosphate limitation. In lactose or galactose-limited
cultures, β-gal accumulated in amounts equivalent to 10–12% of the total cell protein. The induced β-gal expression was repressed
when cells were grown under N- or P-limitation. In lactose medium, enzyme levels were 4–8 times lower than those expressed
in C-limited cultures. A similar response was observed when galactose was the carbon source. These results suggest that a
galactose-dependent signal (in addition to glucose) may have limited induction when cells were grown in carbon-sufficient
cultures. Constitutive β-gal expression was highest in lactate-limited and lowest in glucose-limited media and was also repressed
in glucose-sufficient cultures. Other K. lactis strains (NRRL Y-1140 and CBS 2360) also showed glucose repression (although with different sensitivity) under non-inducing
conditions. We infer that these strains share a common mechanism of glucose repression independent of the induction pathway.
The kinetics of β-gal induction observed in C-limited cultures confirms that β-gal induction is a short-term enzyme adaptation
process. Applying a lactose pulse to a lactose-limited chemostat culture resulted in ‘substrate-accelerated death’. Immediately
after the pulse, growth was arrested and β-gal was progressively inactivated. Yeast metabolism in C-limited cultures was typically
oxidative with the substrate being metabolized solely to biomass and CO2. Cells grown under P- or N-limitation, either with glucose or lactose, exhibited higher rates of sugar consumption than C-limited
cells, accumulated intracellular reserve carbohydrates and secreted metabolic products derived from the glycolytic pathway,
mainly glycerol and ethanol.

Summary A -galactosidase gene from Lactobacillus sake coding for lactose hydrolysis was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli. Chromosomal DNA from L. sake was partially digested with the restriction enzyme Sau3AI, and the 3–6 Kb fragment was ligated to the cloning vector pSP72 digested with BamHI. One E. coli transformant expressing -galactosidase was isolated on X-gal plates. It contained a plasmid with an insertion of approx. 4 Kb. The restriction map of the recombinant plasmid was constructed. The characteristics of the recombinant -galactosidase were compared with those of the wild type. The optima pH and temperature for both enzymes was 6.5 and 50°C, respectively. Stability of the enzymes at different temperatures and activity on lactose were determined. 相似文献

The kinetic parameters of E.coli -galactosidase were not altered by the addition of 2-propanol or ethyl acetate (1.6% v/v). While ethylene glycol (1.6% v/v) doubled the values of both KM (0.29 mM) and kcat (1393 s–), tetraethyleneglycol-dimethylether (Tetraglyme,1.6% v/v) preserved KM, but decreased kcat. At 50°C all the cosolvents dramatically shortened the enzymatic half life, and so did Tetraglyme and 2-propanol at 28°C. At 28°C, both ethyl acetate and ethylene glycol stabilised the enzyme 9- and 6-fold respectively. This fact, together with the activation effect of ethylene glycol may lead to practical applications. © Rapid Science Ltd. 1998 相似文献

1. Repression by glucose of β-galactosidase synthesis is spontaneously reversible in all strains of Escherichia coli examined long before the glucose has all been consumed. The extent of recovery and the time necessary for reversal differ among various strains. Other inducible enzymes show similar effects. 2. This transient effect of glucose repression is observed in constitutive (i−) and permease-less (y−) cells as well as in the corresponding i+ and y+ strains. 3. Repression is exerted by several rapidly metabolizable substrates (galactose, ribose and ribonucleosides) but not by non-metabolized or poorly metabolized compounds (2-deoxyglucose, 2-deoxyribose, phenyl thio-β-galactoside and 2-deoxyribonucleosides). 4. The transient repression with glucose is observed in inducible cells supplied with a powerful inducer of β-galactosidase synthesis (e.g. isopropyl thio-β-galactoside) but not with a weak inducer (lactose); in the latter instance glucose repression is permanent. Diauxic growth on glucose plus lactose can be abolished by including isopropyl thio-β-galactoside in the medium. 5. In some strains phosphate starvation increases catabolite repression; in others it relieves it. Adenine starvation in an adenine-requiring mutant also relieves catabolite repression by glycerol but not that by glucose. Restoration of phosphate or adenine to cells starved of these nutrients causes a pronounced temporary repression. Alkaline-phosphatase synthesis is not affected by the availability of adenine. 6. During periods of transient repression of induced enzyme synthesis the differential rate of RNA synthesis, measured by labelled uracil incorporation in 2min. pulses, shows a temporary rise. 7. The differential rate of uracil incorporation into RNA falls during exponential growth of batch cultures of E. coli. This is equally true for uracil-requiring and non-requiring strains. The fall in the rate of incorporation has been shown to be due to a real fall in the rate of RNA synthesis. The significance of the changes in the rate of RNA synthesis is discussed. 8. A partial model of catabolite repression is presented with suggestions for determining the chemical identification of the catabolite co-repressor itself. 相似文献

An investigation was conducted on the production of β-galactosidase (β-gal) by different strains of Kluyveromyces, using lactose as a carbon source. The maximum enzymatic activity of 3.8 ± 0.2 U/mL was achieved by using Kluyveromyces lactis strain NRRL Y1564 after 28 h of fermentation at 180 rpm and 30 °C. β-gal was then immobilized onto chitosan and characterized based on its optimal operation pH and temperature, its thermal stability and its kinetic parameters (Km and Vmax) using o-nitrophenyl β-d-galactopyranoside as substrate. The optimal pH for soluble β-gal activity was found to be 6.5 while the optimal pH for immobilized β-gal activity was found to be 7.0, while the optimal operating temperatures were 50 °C and 37 °C, respectively. At 50 °C, the immobilized enzyme showed an increased thermal stability, being 8 times more stable than the soluble enzyme. The immobilized enzyme was reused for 10 cycles, showing stability since it retained more than 70% of its initial activity. The immobilized enzyme retained 100% of its initial activity when it was stored at 4 °C and pH 7.0 for 93 days. The soluble β-gal lost 9.4% of its initial activity when it was stored at the same conditions. 相似文献

The plasmid pCR1 has been constructed to express a wheat -amylase enzyme in Kluyveromyces lactis strains. The contruct is based on the vector pCXJ-kan1, which has been derived from pDK1, a native plasmid of K. lactis var. drosophilarum containing the essential regions for plasmid replication and stability. Contruct pCR1 produces an -amylase by DNA isolated from a wheat cDNA clone and is controlled by a Saccharomyces cerevisia PGK promoter.

Summary The presence of ethanol (5 % v/v), in nutrient medium, ehanced DNA synthesis per E. coli cell nearly 2.8-fold compared to that in control cells. At this concentration, the derepressed synthesis of -galactosidase per bacterium also increased about 3-fold. We, therefore, propose that the ethanol-mediated gene-amplification proportionately elevated the induced synthesis of -galactosidase. 相似文献

To express the cloned β-amylase cDNA in Escherichia coli under control of the tac promoter, a plasmid pBETA92 was constructed. The plasmid consisted of 6312 bp. An extract of E. coli JM109 harboring pBETA92 had β-amylase activity that produced β-maltose from soluble starch. The enzyme production started in the logarithmic phase, increased linearly, and reached a maximum after 12 h. The recombinant barley β-amylase gave two major (pI 5.43 and 5.63) and four minor (pI 5.20, 5.36, 5.80, and 6.13) activity bands on isoelectric focusing, and their pIs didn’t change throughout the incubation. But Western blot analysis found that one β-amylase having a molecular weight of about 56,000 was synthesized. The recombinant β-amylase was purified from the cells by consecutive column chromatography. The purified enzyme gave a single band of protein on SDS–PAGE but showed heterogeneity on isoelectric focusing. The N-terminal amino acid sequence showed that the recombinant β-amylase lacked four amino acids at positions 2–5 (Glu-Val-Asn-Val) when compared with the presumed amino acid sequence of barley β-amylase. Therefore, the recombiant β-amylase consisted of 531 amino acids, and its molecular weight was calculated to be 59,169. The N-terminal amino acid sequence of the recombinant β-amylase and the nucleotide sequence of the junction position in plasmid pBETA92 indicated that GTG (Val-5 in the case of barley β-amylase) at positions 27–29 from the SD sequence (AGGA) was the translation initiation codon. The properties of the recombinant β-amylase were almost the same as those of barley β-amylase except for the pI and the Km values for maltohexaose and maltoheptaose. The pI of recombiant barley β-amylase calculated by Genetyx Version 9 based on the presumed amino acid sequence was 5.60, but the real pIs were 5.20–6.13. Therefore, some post-translational reaction(s) might happen after protein synthesis in E. coli cells, and this modification might cause the differences in the pI and the Km values for maltohexaose and maltoheptaose between the barley and the recombinant β-amylases. 相似文献

To develop xylosidases as tools for the hydrolysis of wheat bran arabinoxylans, two β-xylosidases from Bacillus halodurans C-125 have been cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli. The recombinant (His)6-tagged enzymes, designated as XylBH39 and XylBH43, were efficiently purified using Ni2+-affinity chromatography. Determination of native molecular masses indicated that XylBH43 is dimeric in solution, whereas a similar analysis of XylBH39 did not allow differentiation between the dimeric and trimeric states. Both enzymes had similar pH and temperature optima (pH 7.5 and 55 °C for XylBH39 and pH 8 and 60 °C for XylBH43) and were relatively stable over the pH range of 3.5–8.5. In contrast, XylBH39 was more thermostable. At 60 °C, XylBH39 and XylBH43 displayed approximate half-life values of 2.40 and 0.05 h, respectively. The comparison of the ratio k
cat/K
M revealed that XylBH43 hydrolyzed p-nitrophenyl-β-d-xyloside more efficiently (4.6-fold) than XylBH39. Similarly, while XylBH43 was 18-fold less active on p-nitrophenyl-α-l-arabinofuranoside, XylBH39 was essentially inactive on this substrate. Using either p-nitrophenyl-β-d-xyloside or xylotriose, XylBH39 performed transglycosylation, while xylobiose proved to be a poor substrate for both hydrolysis and transglycosylation. The use of XylBH39 and XylBH43 for the posttreatment of endoxylanase-generated wheat bran hydrolysates revealed that XylBH43 efficiently produced xylose monomers (385 μg/ml after 330 min incubation). Its activity was improved by the simultaneous deployment of an α-l-arabinofuranosidase. Together, these enzymes were able to release 521 μg/ml of xylose after 330 min. This constitutes an approximate yield improvement of 35%. 相似文献

CYP27B1 is a mitochondrial cytochrome P450 that catalyses the hydroxylation of 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 at the C1α-position to give the hormonally active form of vitamin D3, 1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3. We successfully expressed human CYP27B1 in Escherichia?coli and partially purified this labile enzyme and carried out a detailed characterization of its kinetic properties in a reconstituted membrane environment. The phospholipid concentration did not affect the enzyme activity in the vesicle-reconstituted system, although it was influenced by the phospholipid composition, with the addition of cardiolipin lowering the K(m) for 25-hydroxyvitamin D3. These data are consistent with the enzyme accessing substrate from the hydrophobic domain of the vesicle membrane. Cardiolipin also caused the appearance of inhibition of activity at high substrate concentrations. This substrate inhibition fitted a model for one catalytic and two inhibitory sites on the enzyme for the binding of substrate. The K(m) for human adrenodoxin was observed to decrease with decreasing substrate concentration, with the catalytic efficiency (k(cat) /K(m) ) being largely independent of adrenodoxin concentration. Human CYP27B1 was also active on 25-hydroxyvitamin D(2) and on intermediates of the CYP24A1-mediated inactivation pathway, 24R,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3, 24-oxo-25-hydroxyvitamin D3 and 24-oxo-23,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3, with all these substrates showing comparable k(cat) values of 50-71?min(-1) , similar to 25-hydroxyvitamin D3. The latter two substrates gave higher K(m) values than that for 25-hydroxy-vitamin D3. The present study shows that human CYP27B1 can be partially purified in an active form with the enzyme displaying high activity towards a range of substrates in a phospholipid vesicle-reconstituted system that mimics the inner-mitochondrial membrane. 相似文献

Agarase catalyzes the hydrolysis of agar, which is primarily used as a medium for microbiology, various food additives, and new biomass materials. In this study, we described the expression of the synthetic gene encoding β-agarase from Agarivorans albus (Aaβ-agarase) in Escherichia coli. The synthetic β-agarase gene was designed based on the biased codons of E. coli to optimize its expression and extracellular secretion in an active, soluble form. The synthesized agarase gene, including its signal sequence, was cloned into the pET-26 expression vector, and the pET-Aaβ-agarase plasmid was introduced into E. coli BL21-Star (DE3) cells. The E. coli transformants were cultured for high-yield secretion of recombinant Aaβ-agarase in Luria-Bertani broth containing 0.6?mM isopropyl β-D-1-thiogalactopyranoside for 9?h at 37°C. The expressed recombinant Aaβ-agarase was purified by ammonium sulfate precipitation and diethylaminoethyl-sepharose column chromatography, yielding ~10?mg/L Aaβ-agarase. The purified recombinant Aaβ-agarase exhibited optimal activity at pH 7 and 40°C, and its activity was strongly inhibited by Cu2+, Mn2+, Zn2+, and Al3+ ions. Furthermore, the KM and kcat values for purified Aaβ-agarase were ~0.02?mM and ~45/s, respectively. These kinetic values were up to approximately 15–100-fold lower than the KM values reported for other agarases and approximately 7–30-fold higher than the kcat/KM values reported for other agarases, indicating that recombinant Aaβ-agarase exhibited good substrate-binding ability and high catalytic efficiency. These results demonstrated that the E. coli expression system was capable of producing recombinant Aaβ-agarase in an active form, at a high yield, and with attributes useful in the relevant industries. 相似文献

The efficient regeneration of nicotinamide cofactors is an important process for industrial applications because of their high cost and stoichiometric requirements. In this study, the FDH1 β-subunit of NAD-dependent formate dehydrogenase from Methylobacterium extorquens AM1 was heterologously expressed in Escherichia coli. It showed water-forming NADH oxidase (NOX-2) activity in the absence of its α-subunit. The β-subunit oxidized NADH and generated NAD+. The enzyme showed a low NADH oxidation activity (0.28 U/mg enzyme). To accelerate electron transfer from the enzyme to oxygen, four electron mediators were tested; flavin mononucleotide, flavin adenine dinucleotide, benzyl viologen (BV), and methyl viologen. All tested electron mediators increased enzyme activity; addition of 250 μM BV resulted in the largest increase in enzyme activity (9.98 U/mg enzyme; a 35.6-fold increase compared with that in the absence of an electron mediator). Without the aid of an electron mediator, the enzyme had a substrate-binding affinity for NADH (K m) of 5.87 μM, a turnover rate (k cat) of 0.24/sec, and a catalytic efficiency (k cat/K m) of 41.31/mM/sec. The addition of 50 μM BV resulted in a 22.75-fold higher turnover rate (k cat, 5.46/sec) and a 2.64-fold higher catalytic efficiency (k cat/K m, 107.75/mM/sec). 相似文献

Escherichia coli β-galactosidase is probably the most widely used reporter enzyme in molecular biology, cell biology, and biotechnology because of the easy detection of its activity. Its large size and tetrameric structure make this bacterial protein an interesting model for crystallographic studies and atomic mapping. In the present study, we investigate a version of Escherichia coli β-galactosidase produced under oxidizing conditions, in the cytoplasm of an Origami strain. Our data prove the activation of this microbial enzyme under oxidizing conditions and clearly show the occurrence of a disulfide bond in the β-galactosidase structure. Additionally, the formation of this disulfide bond is supported by the analysis of a homology model of the protein that indicates that two cysteines located in the vicinity of the catalytic center are sufficiently close for disulfide bond formation. 相似文献

Bifidobacterium infantis HL96 produces three -galactosidases (-gal I, II and III). A genomic bank of B. infantis was constructed in E. coli by using pBR322 as a cloning vector. Two E. coli transformants, BIG1 and BIG4, possessing -galactosidase activity, were selected from X-gal plates. They contained two different recombinant plasmids with insert DNA fragments of approx. 4.6 and 4.4 kb, respectively. The restriction maps of pBIG1 and pBIG4 were constructed. -Galactosidases from crude cell-free extracts of B. infantis and of two E. coli recombinants were analyzed by native PAGE and characterized by activity staining. pBIG1 and pBIG4 were shown to carry the genes for -gal I and -gal III, respectively. Optimal pH and temperature for hydrolytic activity of the native enzyme were 7.5 and 40°C, while those for recombinant BIG1 and BIG4 were 7.5, 50°C and 8.0, 40°C, respectively. © Rapid Science Ltd. 1998 相似文献
