Molecular Cloning and Nucleotide Sequence of the Porphobilinogen Deaminase Gene,hemC, from Chlorobium vibrioforme

We previously reported the DNA sequence and expression of the Chlorobium vibrioforme glutamyl-tRNA reductase (hemA) gene (Majumdar et al., Arch Microbiol 156:281, 1991). The sequence downstream of the hemA gene indicated homology to Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis porphobilinogen deaminase (hemC) gene. The Chlorobium gene was confirmed to be the porphobilinogen deaminase gene, and complete sequence of the structural gene was obtained. A 2.8-kb DNA fragment containing the 1.3-kb hemA gene of Chlorobium was cloned into a hemC auxotroph (Sz16) of Bacillus subtilis, and complementation of the auxotroph to prototrophy was achieved. DNA sequence data showed a single open reading frame of 840 bp coding a protein of 279 amino acid residues. The deduced amino acid sequence of the Chlorobium porphobilinogen deaminase revealed 39% to 46% homology with the corresponding prokaryotic and eukaryotic sequences.

Cloning, Nucleotide Sequence, and Expression of the Gene Encoding the Bacteriocin Boticin B from Clostridium botulinum Strain 213B

Boticin B is a heat-stable bacteriocin produced by Clostridium botulinum strain 213B that has inhibitory activity against various strains of C. botulinum and related clostridia. The gene encoding the bacteriocin was localized to a 3.0-kb HindIII fragment of an 18.8-kb plasmid, cloned, and sequenced. DNA sequencing revealed the boticin B structural gene, btcB, to be an open reading frame encoding 50 amino acids. A C. botulinum strain 62A transconjugant containing the HindIII fragment inserted into a clostridial shuttle vector expressed boticin B, although at much lower levels than those observed in C. botulinum 213B. To our knowledge, this is the first demonstration and characterization of a bacteriocin from toxigenic group I C. botulinum.

Cloning,Nucleotide Sequence,and Disruption of Streptococcus mutans Glutathione Reductase Gene (gor)

We cloned and sequenced the glutathione reductase gene (gor) of an oxygen-tolerant Streptococcus mutans, and constructed a gor-disruption mutant by homologous recombination. The gor gene consisted of 1,350 bp, coding for a protein of 450 amino acid residues. The deduced amino acid sequence of the S. mutans gor gene product showed extensive similarity with those of glutathione reductases from prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Although the mutant could grow aerobically, it showed no growth in the presence of 2 mM diamide, a thiol-specific oxidant. In contrast, growth of the wild-type strain was not significantly inhibited by 2 mM diamide, and glutathione reductase activity was increased 2.2-fold under these conditions. In addition, the level of glutathione reductase activity in the wild-type strain was increased 3.6-fold upon exposure to air, and the elevated level of the enzyme was retained throughout the aerobic growth. Thus, glutathione reductase may be important in protection of S. mutans against oxidative stress.     

Molecular Cloning and Nucleotide Sequence of the Gene for an Alkaline Protease from Bacillus circulans MTCC 7906

Bacillus circulans MTCC 7906, an extracellular alkaline protease producer was genetically characterized. B. circulans genomic DNA was isolated, oligonucleotide primers specific to alkaline protease gene of B. circulans were designed and its PCR amplification was done. The purified PCR product and pTrcHisA vector were subjected to restriction digestion with NcoI and HindIII and transformed into Escherichia coli DH5-α competent cells. The recombinant expression of alkaline protease gene studied by inducible expression and analysis by SDS-PAGE, established that the alkaline protease protein had an estimated molecular size of 46 kDa. Gene sequencing of the insert from selected recombinant clone showed it to be a 1329 bp gene encoding a protein of 442 amino acids. The sequence was blasted and aligned with known alkaline protease genes for comparison with their nucleotide and amino acid sequences. This identified major matches with three closely related subsp. of B. subtilis (B. subtilis subsp. subtilis strain 168, B. subtilis BSn5 and B. subtilis subsp. spizizenii strain W23). The insert also showed a number of substitutions (mutations) with other sp. of Bacillus which established that alkaline protease of B. circulans MTCC 7906 is a novel gene. The phylogenetic analysis of alkaline protease gene and its predicted amino acid sequences also validated that alkaline protease gene is a novel gene and the same has been accessioned in GenBank with accession number {"type":"entrez-nucleotide","attrs":{"text":"JN645176.1","term_id":"353260575","term_text":"JN645176.1"}}JN645176.1.     

Cloning and Nucleotide Sequence of the Alcohol Acetyltransferase II Gene (ATF2) from Saccharomyces cerevisiae Kyokai No. 7

The ATF2 gene, which encodes alcohol acetyltransferase II (AATase II), was cloned from Saccharomyces cerevisiae Kyokai No. 7 (sake yeast). The ATF2 gene coded for a protein of 535 amino acid residues with a calculated molecular mass of 61,909 daltons. The deduced amino acid sequences of the ATF2 showed 36.9% similarity with that of ATF1, which encodes AATase I. The hydrophobicity profiles for the Atf2 protein and Atf1 protein were similar. A transformant carrying multiple copies of the ATF2 gene had 2.5-fold greater AATase activity than the control, and this activity was not significantly inhibited by linoleic acid. A Southern analysis of the yeast genomes in which the ATF2 gene was used as a probe showed that S. cerevisiae and brewery lager yeast have one ATF2 gene, while S. bayanus has no similar gene.     

Molecular Cloning and Nucleotide Sequence of the Superoxide Dismutase Gene and Characterization of Its Product from Bacillus subtilis

Bacillus subtilis was found to possess one detectable superoxide dismutase (Sod) in both vegetative cells and spores. The Sod activity in vegetative cells was maximal at stationary phase. Manganese was necessary to sustain Sod activity at stationary phase, but paraquat, a superoxide generator, did not induce the expression of Sod. The specific activity of purified Sod was approximately 2,600 U/mg of protein, and the enzyme was a homodimer protein with a molecular mass of approximately 25,000 per monomer. The gene encoding Sod, designated sodA, was cloned by the combination of several PCR methods and the Southern hybridization method. DNA sequence analysis revealed the presence of one open reading frame consisting of 606 bp. Several putative promoter sites were located in the upstream region of sodA. The deduced amino acid sequence showed high homology with other bacterial manganese Sods. Conserved regions in bacterial manganese Sod could also be seen. The phenotype of double mutant Escherichia coli sodA sodB, which could not grow in minimal medium without supplemental amino acids, was complemented by the expression of B. subtilis sodA.

Molecular Cloning,Nucleotide Sequence,and Expression of the Structural Gene for Alkaline Serine Protease from Alkaliphilic Bacillus sp. 221

The gene encoding an alkaline serine protease from alkaliphilic Bacillus sp. 221 was cloned in Escherichia coli and expressed in Bacillus suhtilis. An open reading frame of 1,140 bases, identified as the protease gene was preceded by a putative Shine-Dalgarno sequence (AGGAGG) with a spacing of 7 bases. The deduced amino acid sequence had a pre-pro-peptide of 111 residues followed by the mature protease comprising 269 residues. The alkaline protease from alkaliphilic Bacillus sp. 221 had higher homology to the protease from alkaliphilic bacilli (82.1% and 99.6%) than to those from neutrophilic bacilli (60.6—61.70/0). Also Bacillus sp. 221 protease and other protease from alkaliphilic bacilli shared common amino acid changes and 4 amino acid deletions that seemed to be related to characteristics of the enzyme of alkaliphilic bacilli when compared to the proteases from neutrophilic bacilli.
