New β-glucosidase activities were identified by screening metagenomic libraries constructed with DNA isolated from the topsoil of a winter wheat field. Two of the corresponding proteins, displaying an unusual preference for alkaline conditions, were selected for purification by Ni-NTA chromatography. AS-Esc6, a 762-amino-acid enzyme belonging to glycoside hydrolase family 3, proved to be a mesophilic aryl-β-glucosidase with maximal activity around pH 8 and 40 °C. A similar pH optimum was found for AS-Esc10, a 475-amino-acid GH1-family enzyme, but this enzyme remained significantly active across a wider pH range and was also markedly more stable than AS-Esc6 at pH greater than 10. AS-Esc10 was found to degrade cellobiose and diverse aryl glycosides, with an optimal temperature of 60 °C and good stability up to 50 °C. Unlike AS-Esc6, which showed a classically low inhibitory constant for glucose (14 mM), AS-Esc10 showed enhanced activity in the presence of molar concentrations of glucose. AS-Esc10 was highly tolerant to hydrogen peroxide and also to sodium dodecyl sulfate, this being indicative of kinetic stability. This unique combination of properties makes AS-Esc10 a particularly promising candidate whose potential in biotechnological applications is worth exploring further. 相似文献

A method of mutagenic and unidirectional reassembly (MURA) that can generate libraries of DNA-shuffled and randomly truncated proteins was developed. The method involved fragmenting the template gene(s) randomly by DNase I and reassembling the small fragments with a unidirectional primer by PCR. The MURA products were treated with T4 DNA polymerase and subsequently with a restriction enzyme whose site was located on the region of the MURA primer. The N-terminal-truncated and DNA-shuffled library of a Serratia sp. phospholipase A(1) prepared by this method had an essentially random variation of truncated size and also showed point mutations associated with DNA shuffling. After high-throughput screening on triglyceride-emulsified plates, several mutants exhibiting absolute lipase activity (NPL variants) were obtained. The sequence analysis and the lipase activity assay on the NPL variants revealed that N-terminal truncations at a region beginning with amino acids 61 to 71, together with amino acid substitutions, resulted in the change of substrate specificity from a phospholipase to a lipase. We therefore suggest that the MURA method, which combines incremental truncation with DNA shuffling, can contribute to expanding the searchable sequence space in directed evolution experiments. 相似文献

Ca2+-Mg2+-dependent deoxyribonuclease (deoxyribonucleate-5'-oligonucleotidehydrolase E. C. 3.1.4.5). Molecular weight of the enzyme is found to be 40 000 daltons isoelectric point--4.4. The enzyme degraded DNA only in the presence of bivalent cations. It hydrolyses preferentially native DNA with pH optimum 7.0-7.2 in the presence of Mg2+ ions. Ca2+ ions shift the pH optimum to 8.0-8.5. Combined addition of Ca2+ and Mg2+ ions results in a sinergic effect and changes the enzyme specificity to the secondary DNA structure. The enzyme hydrolyses both native and denatured DNA by the endonucleolytic type to form oligonucleotides with 5' terminal phosphate the content of tetra-octanucleotides being 80-85%. 相似文献

Directed evolution of oxidoreductases to improve their catalytic properties is being ardently pursued in the industrial, biotechnological, and biopharma sectors. Hampering this pursuit are current enzyme screening methods that are limited in terms of throughput, cost, time, and complexity. We present a directed evolution strategy that allows for large-scale one-pot screening of glucose oxidase (GOx) enzyme libraries in well-mixed homogeneous solution. We used GOx variants displayed on the outer cell wall of yeasts to initiate a cascade reaction with horseradish peroxidase (HRP), resulting in peroxidase-mediated phenol cross-coupling and encapsulation of individual cells in well-defined fluorescent alginate hydrogel shells within ~10 min in mixed cell suspensions. Following application of denaturing stress to whole-cell GOx libraries, only cells displaying GOx variants with enhanced stability or catalytic activity were able to carry out the hydrogel encapsulation reaction. Fluorescence-activated cell sorting was then used to isolate the enhanced variants. We characterized three of the newly evolved Aspergillus niger GOx enzyme sequences and found up to ~5-fold higher specific activity, enhanced thermal stability, and differentiable glycosylation patterns. By coupling intracellular gene expression with the rapid formation of an extracellular hydrogel capsule, our system improves high-throughput screening for directed evolution of H 2O 2-producing enzymes many folds. 相似文献

A gene coding for a thermostable esterase was isolated by functional screening of Escherichia coli cells that had been transformed with fosmid environmental DNA libraries constructed with metagenomes from thermal environmental samples. The gene conferring esterase activity on E. coli grown on tributyrin agar was composed of 936 bp, corresponding to 311 amino acid residues with a molecular mass of 34 kDa. The enzyme showed significant amino acid similarity (64%) to the enzyme from a hyperthermophilic archaeon, Pyrobaculum calidifontis. An amino acid sequence comparison with other esterases and lipases revealed that the enzyme should be classified as a new member of the hormone-sensitive lipase family. The recombinant esterase that was overexpressed and purified from E. coli was active above 30 degrees C up to 95 degrees C and had a high thermal stability. It displayed a high degree of activity in a pH range of 5.5 to 7.5, with an optimal pH of approximately 6.0. The best substrate for the enzyme among the p-nitrophenyl esters (C(4) to C(16)) examined was p-nitrophenyl caproate (C(6)), and no lipolytic activity was observed with esters containing an acyl chain length of longer than 10 carbon atoms, indicating that the enzyme is an esterase and not a lipase. 相似文献

易错PCR结合DNA改组方法向D-泛解酸内酯水解酶基因中引入突变,并构建突变体库。利用酶的催化特点和产物特性建立了基于平板初筛和高效液相复筛的两步法D-泛解酸内酯水解酶活性筛选系统。用该筛选系统以酶活力和pH稳定性为指标对突变体库进行筛选,最终获得一株酶活力高且在低pH条件下稳定性好的突变体Mut E-861。该突变体的酶活力是野生型酶的5.5倍。对突变体和野生型酶在pH 6.0和pH 5.0条件下的残余酶活进行对比,在这两种pH条件下,突变体酶的酶活残留分别为75%和50%,而野生型酶只能保持原来的40%和20%。通过软件对突变体Mut E-861酶基因和野生型酶基因进行分析对比,发现突变体Mut E-861酶基因发生了三处点突变,其中突变使两处氨基酸取代,另一处为沉默突变,未引起氨基酸的变化。 相似文献

Ancient DNA research is on the crest of a 'third wave' of progress due to the introduction of a new generation of DNA sequencing technologies. Here we review the advantages and disadvantages of the four new DNA sequencers that are becoming available to researchers. These machines now allow the recovery of orders of magnitude more DNA sequence data, albeit as short sequence reads. Hence, the potential reassembly of complete ancient genomes seems imminent, and when used to screen libraries of ancient sequences, these methods are cost effective. This new wealth of data is also likely to herald investigations into the functional properties of extinct genes and gene complexes and will improve our understanding of the biological basis of extinct phenotypes. 相似文献

A novel thermostable phytase gene was cloned from Aspergillus fumigatus WY-2. It was 1459 bp in size and encoded a polypeptide of 465 amino acids. The gene was expressed in Pichia pastoris GS115 as an extracellular enzyme. The expressed enzyme was purified to homogeneity and biochemically characterized. The purified
enzyme had a specific activity of 51 U/mg with an approximate molecular mass of 88 kDa. The optimum pH and temperature for
activity were pH 5.5 and 55°C, respectively. After incubation at 90°C for 15 min, it still remained at 43.7% of the initial
activity. The enzyme showed higher affinity for sodium phytate than other phosphate conjugates, and the Km and Kcat for sodium phytate were 114 μM and 102 s−1, respectively. Incubated with pepsin at 37°C for 2 h at the ratio (pepsin/phytase, wt/wt) of 0.1, it still retained 90.1%
residual activity. These exceptional properties give the newly cloned enzyme good potential in animal feed applications. 相似文献

Directed evolution coupled with a high-throughput robotic screen was employed to broaden the industrial use of the maltogenic alpha-amylase Novamyl from Bacillus sp. TS-25. Wild-type Novamyl is currently used in the baking industry as an anti-staling agent in breads baked at neutral or near neutral pH. However, the enzyme is rapidly inactivated during the baking process of bread made with low pH recipes and Novamyl thus has very limited beneficial effect for this particular application. In an effort to improve the performance of Novamyl for low pH bread applications such as sourdough and rye, two error-prone PCR libraries were generated, expressed in Bacillus subtilis and screened for variants with improved thermal stability and activity under low pH conditions. Variants exhibiting improved performance were iteratively recombined using DNA shuffling to create two generations of libraries. Relative to wild-type Novamyl, a number of the resulting variants exhibited more than 10 degrees C increase in thermal stability at pH 4.5, one of which demonstrated substantial anti-staling properties in low pH breads. 相似文献

Chromatography is an essential tool for purifying biopharmaceutical products. Many processes are still developed based on traditional routines and empirical procedures. Product losses are mostly due to insufficient optimization of purification setups and product sensitivity to process conditions. In order to eliminate these shortcomings, a systematic strategy for the setup of ion‐exchange chromatography is presented, which considers both product stability as well as operational conditions. The stages—a hybrid approach combining high‐throughput screening and analytical small‐scale chromatography—are as follows: (1) pH stability (short‐term); (2) pH stability (long‐term), followed by a screening of additives to enhance protein stability, if required; (3) analytical pH gradient chromatography for evaluation of the operational pH window; and (4) salt stability (long‐term) in the operational pH window determined. The efficiency and straightforwardness of the strategy were shown in a case study on capturing the human α‐galactosidase A enzyme. Following the above procedure, the enzyme was found to be salt‐unstable; a purification factor of 13.2, a concentration factor of 4, and an overall yield of 84.3% were achieved. The applied strategy allowed for a quick establishment of a dedicated capture step at low salt concentrations under stable conditions by well‐chosen prior screening experiments. 相似文献

A screening of different strains of bacteria for the production of lipases which degrade the soy bean oil based binder component of newsprint ink was performed. Three strains were found to be efficient lipase producers and were selected for further investigations. The pH optimum, temperature stability and the optimum enzyme concentrations for the deinking of recovered paper printed with soy bean oil based ink were determined and compared with a commercially available porcine pancreas lipase preparation. A lipase preparation from Pseudomonas aeruginosa with a pH optimum and temperature stability suitable for an application in a deinking process and with a high deinking efficiency in combination with a neutral surfactant could be identified. The deinking effect of the lipases was caused by a partial degradation of the binder of the soy bean oil based inks thereby releasing the ink particles from the paper. 相似文献

Enzymes are becoming increasingly important tools for synthesizing and modifying fine and bulk chemicals. The availability of biocatalysts which fulfil the requirements of industrial processes is often limited. Recruiting suited enzymes from natural (e.g. metagenomes) and artificial (e.g. directed evolution) biodiversity is based on screening libraries of microbial clones expressing enzyme variants. However, exploring the complex diversity of such libraries needs efficient screening methods. Overcoming the "screening bottleneck" requires rapid high throughput technology allowing the analysis of a large diversity of different enzymes and applying different screening conditions. Facing these facts an efficient and cost effective method for high throughput screening of large enzyme libraries at the colony level was developed. Therefore, ordered high density micro-colony arrays were combined with optical sensor technology and automated image analysis. The system generally allows the simultaneous monitoring of enzyme activities reflected by up to 7000 micro-colonies spotted on a filter in the size of a micro-titer plate. A developed replica option also allows the analysis of clones under varying external conditions. The method was verified by a model screening using esterases and was proved to provide reliable enzyme activity measurements within single micro-colonies allowing the discrimination of activity differences in the range of 10-20%. 相似文献

Stability is one of the most important properties of drug candidates. Instable compounds can lead to false positive high‐throughput screening (HTS) hits, incorrect bioassay results, erroneous structure–activity relationships (SAR), low oral bioavailability, drug withdrawal, toxic reactions from degradation products, and difficult formulation development. Screening of stability has been implemented early in drug discovery to identify labile chemotypes and guide structural modification. The most commonly applied stability studies in drug discovery are stability–pH profile, stability in gastrointestinal fluids, stability in bioassay media, excipient compatibility, and prodrug screening. The strategy enhances the quality of drug development candidates and reduces the risks. 相似文献

The polA6 mutation is an allele of the polA gene of Escherichia coli which produces a DNA polymerase I species readily distinguishable from that produced by the wild type allele. Experiments described here show that this enzyme has an altered pH optimum for polymerization and a lower binding affinity for DNA. The defect clearly lies within the carboxyl-terminal large fragment of the enzyme produced by in vivo or in vitro proteolysis since the fragment has the same pH optimum for polymerization as the intact enzyme. The polA6 enzyme and its fragment are more sensitive to phosphate ions than the wild type polymerase, and the large fragment is less efficient at binding poly d(AT) in in vitro binding assays. Although the specific nucleolytic activity of the polA6 enzyme is higher than that of the wild type, there is no apparent alteration in pH optimum for the hydrolysis of eigher double or single stranded DNA. 相似文献
