应用系统发育树分析DDBJ基因库中HBV基因序列的基因型

为了充分利用核酸库中的HBV序列信息,探讨DDBJ核酸库中HBV基因序列的基因分型,采用Clustal X（1.8）软件比较HBV基因序列前S区序列差异并产生系统发育树。通过对下载的1471条HBV基因序列进行系统分析。获得了228条前S/S区完整的HBV基因序列,其中有66条序列的基因型已被各种方法所证实。利用软件分析绘制了基于228条HBV前S区基因序列的系统发育树。66条已知基因型HBV基因序列在系统发育树上的分型与其原有基因型完全吻合。在228条HBV基因序列中,有207条序列分别属于A、B、C、D、E、F和G等7个基因型,但另外21条序列不能归属于上述7个基因型的任何一种,而且它们又分为彼此相互独立存在的两群,暂分别称之为未分型I和未分型Ⅱ,经比较未分型I、Ⅱ和其他7个基因型前S区核苷酸序列,发现未分型I、Ⅱ和D型前S区都有33个核苷酸缺失,但三者基因缺失片段的位置和形式各不相同,但其它六型前S区无大片段基因缺失。结果说明采用基于前S区的系统发育树基因分型分析方法正确可靠,除了现已证实的7个基因型外,尚可能存在另外两个新的HBV基因型。

Functional analysis of an Aspergillus ficuum phytase gene in Saccharomyces cerevisiae and its root-specific, secretory expression in transgenic soybean plants

Phytases release inorganic phosphates from phytate in soil. A gene encoding phytase (AfPhyA) was isolated from Aspergillus ficuum and its ability to degrade phytase and release phosphate was demonstrated in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. A promoter from the Arabidopsis Pky10 gene and the carrot extensin signal peptide were used to drive the root-specific and secretory expression of the AfPhyA gene in soybean plants. The phytase activity and inorganic phosphate levels in transgenic soybean root secretions were 4.7 U/mg protein and 439 μM, respectively, compared to 0.8 U/mg protein and 120 μM, respectively, in control soybeans. Our results demonstrated the potential usefulness of the root-specific promoter for the exudation of recombinant phytases and offered a new perspective on the mobilization of phytate in soil to inorganic phosphates for plant uptake.

Mutational analysis of centromeric DNA elements of Klayveromyces lactis and their role in determining the species specificity of the highly homologous centromeres from K. lactis and Saccharomyces cerevisiae

The centromere of Kluyveromyces lactis was delimited to a region of approximately 280 bp, encompassing KICDEI, II, and III. Removal of 6 bp from the right side of KlCDEIII plus flanking sequences abolished centromere function, and removal of 5 bp of KICDEI and flanking sequences resulted in strongly reduced centromere function. Deletions of 20–80 bp from KlCDEII resulted in a decrease in plasmid stability, indicating that KlCDEII must have a certain length for proper centromere function. Centromeres of K. lactis do not function in Saccharomyces cerevisiae and vice versa. Adapting the length of K1CDEII to that of ScCDEII did not improve KlCEN function in S. cerevisiae, while doubling the ScCDEII length did not improve ScCEN function in K. lactis. Thus the difference in CDEII length is not in itself responsible for the species specificity of the centromeres from each of the two species of budding yeast. A chimeric K. lactis centromere with ScCDEIII instead of KlCDEIII was no longer functional in K. lactis, but did improve plasmid stability in S. cerevisiae, although to a much lower level then a wild-type ScCEN. This indicates that the exact CDEIII sequence is important, and suggests that the flanking AT-rich CDEII has to conform to specific sequence requirements.     

Comparative analysis of transcriptional responses to the cryoprotectants, dimethyl sulfoxide and trehalose, which confer tolerance to freeze–thaw stress in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

We have used microarray analysis to monitor the gene expression profile of Saccharomyces cerevisiae BY4743 in the presence of the cryoprotectants, dimethyl sulfoxide (Me₂SO) and trehalose. Analysis of these profiles suggests that both cryoprotectants increased the expression of genes involved in protein synthesis, ribosomal biogenesis, fatty acid biosynthesis, ergosterol biosynthesis, cell wall biosynthesis, and cellular accumulation of low molecular compounds such as glycerol, arginine and proline. Cryoprotectant treatment reduced the expression of genes involved in the β-oxidation of fatty acids. In addition, Me₂SO increased the expression of genes involved in protein refolding and trehalose increased the expression of genes involved in spore formation. This study supported that exposure to cryoprotectants prior to freezing not only reduce the freeze–thaw damage but also provide various process to the recovery from freeze–thaw damage.     

Efficient, galactose-free production of Candida antarctica lipase B by GAL10 promoter in Δgal80 mutant of Saccharomyces cerevisiae

An efficient yeast gene expression system with GAL10 promoter that does not require galactose as an inducer was developed using Δgal80 mutant strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. We constructed several combinations of gal mutations (Δgal1, Δgal80, Δmig1, Δmig2, and Δgal6) of S. cerevisiae and tested for their effect on efficiency of recombinant protein production by GAL10 promoter using a lipase, Candida antarctica lipase B (CalB), as a reporter. While the use of Δgal1 mutant strain required the addition of a certain amount of galactose to the medium, Δgal80 mutant strain did not require galactose. Furthermore, it was found that the recombinant CalB could be produced more efficiently (1.6-fold at 5 L-scale fermentation) in Δgal80 mutant strain than in the Δgal1 mutant. The Δgal80 mutant strain showed glucose repressible mode of expression of GAL10 promoter. Using Δgal80 mutant strain of S. cerevisiae, CalB was efficiently produced in a glucose-only fermentation at volumes up to 500 L.     

Two subclasses of guanine exchange factor (GEF) domains revealed by comparison of activities of chimeric genes constructed from CDC25, SDC25 and BUD5 in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Guanine Exchange Factor (GEF) activity for Ras proteins has been associated with a conserved domain in Cdc25p, Sdc25p in Saccharomyces cerevisiae and several other proteins recently found in other eukaryotes. We have assessed the structure-function relationships between three different members of this family in S. cerevisiae, Cdc25p, Sdc25p and Bud5p. Cdc25p controls the Ras pathway, whereas Bud5p controls bud site localization. We demonstrate that the GEF domain of Sdc25p is closely related to that of Cdc25p. We first constructed a thermosensitive allele of SDC25 by specifically altering amino acid positions known to be changed in the cdc25-1 mutation. Secondly, we constructed three chimeric genes from CDC25 and SDC25, the products of which are as active in the Ras pathway as are the wild-type proteins. In contrast, similar chimeras made between CDC25 and BUD5 lead to proteins that are inactive both in the Ras and budding control pathways. This difference in the ability of chimeric proteins to retain activity allows us to define two subclasses of structurally different GEFs: Cdc25p and Sdc25p are Ras-specific GEFs, and Bud5p is a putative GEF for the Rsr1/Bud1 Rap-like protein.     

Phenotypic analysis of the ccp1Δ and ccp1Δ-ccp1 mutant strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae indicates that cytochrome c peroxidase functions in oxidative-stress signaling

Yeast cytochrome c peroxidase (CCP) efficiently catalyzes the reduction of H₂O₂ to H₂O by ferrocytochrome c in vitro. The physiological function of CCP, a heme peroxidase that is targeted to the mitochondrial intermembrane space of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, is not known. CCP1-null-mutant cells in the W303-1B genetic background (ccp1Δ) grew as well as wild-type cells with glucose, ethanol, glycerol or lactate as carbon sources but with a shorter initial doubling time. Monitoring growth over 10 days demonstrated that CCP1 does not enhance mitochondrial function in unstressed cells. No role for CCP1 was apparent in cells exposed to heat stress under aerobic or anaerobic conditions. However, the detoxification function of CCP protected respiring mitochondria when cells were challenged with H₂O₂. Transformation of ccp1Δ with ccp1^W191F, which encodes the CCP^W191F mutant enzyme lacking CCP activity, significantly increased the sensitivity to H₂O₂ of exponential-phase fermenting cells. In contrast, stationary-phase (7-day) ccp1Δ-ccp1^W191F exhibited wild-type tolerance to H₂O₂, which exceeded that of ccp1Δ. Challenge with H₂O₂ caused increased CCP, superoxide dismutase and catalase antioxidant enzyme activities (but not glutathione reductase activity) in exponentially growing cells and decreased antioxidant activities in stationary-phase cells. Although unstressed stationary-phase ccp1Δ exhibited the highest catalase and glutathione reductase activities, a greater loss of these antioxidant activities was observed on H₂O₂ exposure in ccp1Δ than in ccp1Δ-ccp1^W191F and wild-type cells. The phenotypic differences reported here between the ccp1Δ and ccp1Δ-ccp1^W191F strains lacking CCP activity provide strong evidence that CCP has separate antioxidant and signaling functions in yeast.     

Nitric oxide synthase sequences in the marine fish Stenotomus chrysops and the sea urchin Arbacia punctulata, and phylogenetic analysis of nitric oxide synthase calmodulin-binding domains

The phylogenetic distribution and structural diversity of the nitric oxide synthases (NOS) remain important and issues that are little understood. We present sequence information, as well as phylogenetic analysis, for three NOS cDNAs identified in two non-mammalian species: the vertebrate marine teleost fish Stenotomus chrysops (scup) and the invertebrate echinoderm Arbacia punctulata (sea urchin). Partial gene sequences containing the well-conserved calmodulin (CaM)-binding domain were amplified by RT-PCR. Identical 375-bp cDNAs were amplified from scup brain, heart, liver and spleen; this sequence shares 82% nucleic acid and 91% predicted amino acid identity with the corresponding region of human neuronal NOS. A 387-bp cDNA was amplified from sea urchin ovary and testes; this sequence shares 72% nucleic acid identity and 65% deduced amino acid identity with human neuronal NOS. A second cDNA of 381 bp was amplified from sea urchin ovary and it shares 66% nucleic acid and 57% deduced amino acid identity with the first sea urchin sequence. Together with earlier reports of neuronal and inducible NOS sequences in fish, these data indicate that multiple NOS isoforms exist in non-mammalian species. Phylogenetic analysis of these sequences confirms the conserved nature of NOS, particularly of the calmodulin-binding domains.
