真菌疏水蛋白结构研究进展

真菌疏水蛋白是由高等丝状真菌产生的小分子量(10kD左右)具有双亲性的蛋白质,它们在真菌生长和发育中起着重要的作用。通过研究发现疏水蛋白具有极高的表面活性,可以在界面通过自组装形成双亲性的蛋白膜,从而改变界面的亲疏水性质。值得注意的是,疏水蛋白的不同功能可归因于其双亲性蛋白质结构,使得其在不同的亲水/疏水界面处自组装以形成两性蛋白膜。基于这样的性质,疏水蛋白已经获得了国内外各领域的广泛应用。疏水蛋白潜在的应用价值激励了人们对其蛋白结构的探究从而解释其自组装机理。此篇综述总结了近些年人们通过不同手段及研究方法来解释疏水蛋白发挥功能的结构基础。     

疏水表面对牛血清清蛋白二级结构的诱导

本文结合圆二色谱,椭圆偏振术及放射性示踪技术研究了疏水表面对牛血清清蛋白二级结构的诱导作用,实验结果表明：处于不同阶段的蛋白质分子由于受到不同程度的诱导作用而呈现不同的二级结构特征。初始阶段吸附的ＢＳＡ分子丧失有序结构,形成以无规卷曲为主的二级结构。中间阶段吸附的ＢＳＡ呈现出以β结构为主的二级结构。而后期吸附的ＢＳＡ分子保存了大部分α螺旋结构。作者认为疏水表面对ＢＳＡ二级结构的诱导与表面的疏水作用     

真菌疏水蛋白的研究进展

疏水蛋白这一名词最早是由Rosenberg和Kjelleberg(1986)在研究细菌与寄主吸附机理时提出的,意指覆盖在微生物细胞表面的任何疏水物质(Hydrophobic substances).Wessels研究小组发现裂褶菌(Schizophyllum commune)子实体和气生菌丝形成时,某些基因及其相应的cDNA序列可以编码约100个氨基酸的小蛋白.它含有8个半胱氨酸残基和一段分泌性的信号肽.他们把上述这一类物质统称为疏水蛋白(Hydrophobin)[1].在许多丝状真菌中已发现疏水蛋白的存在,其生物学功能是目前研究热点之一.

Primary structure of the tms and prs genes of Bacillus subtilis

Summary The nucleotide sequence was determined of a 3211 nucleotide pair EcoRI-PvuII DNA fragment containing the tms and prs genes as well as a part of the ctc gene of Bacillus subtilis. The prs gene encodes phosphoribosylpyrophosphate (PRPP) synthetase, whereas the functioning of the tms and ctc gene products remains to be established. The prs gene contains an open reading frame of 317 codons resulting in a subunit M_r of 34828. An open reading frame comprising the tms gene contained 456 codons resulting in a putative translation product with an M_r of 49554. Comparison of the deduced B. subtilis PRPP synthetase amino acid sequence with PRPP synthetases from Escherichia coli and rat liver showed extensive similarity. The deduced Tms amino acid sequence was found to be 43% similar to the deduced amino acid sequence of ecourfl, a gene of E. coli with unknown function.     

Sequence homologies of glucose-dehydrogenases of Bacillus megaterium and Bacillus subtilis

The sequence homologies of the glucose dehydrogenase subunits of B. megaterium and B. subtilis are compared. From the known B. megaterium aminoacid sequence and the base sequence of the cloned B. subtilis structural gene we predict the B. megaterium structural glucose dehydrogenase gene. Assuming the minimal mutational changes to convert one gene into the other 23 transitions, 30 transversions, 1 inversion, 3 insertion-deletions, but no frameshifts are postulated necessary to interconvert the structural genes. The homology of both enzyme subunits of 85% reflects the close evolutionary distance between B. subtilis and B. megaterium.

Genetic structure and domains of DNA polymerase III of Bacillus subtilis

Summary We have determined the nucleotide sequence of the polC gene of Bacillus subtilis which codes for DNA polymerase III. Our recent analysis has revealed that the gene comprises 4311 nucleotides, from the start to the stop codon, 306 nucleotides more than we reported earlier. The plasmid reported by us and by N.C. Brown's laboratory contained a sequence at the end of the gene which is not related to the polC region of B. subtilis. We have isolated the rest of the gene, the sequence of which is presented in this paper. The new stop codon is followed by a hyphenated palindromic sequence of 13 nucleotides. The C-terminus' of the coding region contains the novel mutation, dnaF, which results in a defect in the initiation of replication due to a change in the codon TCC to TTC (serine to phenylalanine). The hypermutator mutation mut-1 is due to two point mutations in the 3 to 5 exonuclease domain, the proof reading function. The codon changes are GGA to GAA (glycine to glutamic acid) and AGC to AAC (serine to asparagine). The elongation defective mutation, polC26, affecting the catalytic site that adds nucleotides to the growing chain, is due to a change in the codon GTC to GAC (valine to aspartic acid). It is separated from the mutation reported earlier, azp-12, by 306 nucleotides. Knowing the locations of the mutational sites allowed us to deduce the domains of the gene and the enzyme it encodes, and permitted us to present a precise map of the gene at the molecular level.Abbreviations HPUra p-hydroxyphenyl azouracil - nt nucleotide - PCR polymerase chain reaction     

Cloning and characterization of two plasmids from Bacillus thuringiensis in Bacillus subtilis

Bacillus thuringiensis subspecies israliensis plasmids pTX14-1 and pTX14-3 were cloned and analyzed by Southern blot hybridization for their replication mechanism in Bacillus subtilis. The cloning of pTX14-1 into the replicon deficient vector pBOE335 showed the usual characteristics of single-stranded DNA plasmids, i.e., it generated circular single-stranded DNA and high molecular weight (HMW) multimers. The other plasmid, pTX14-3, behaved differently; it generated neither single-stranded DNA nor HMW multimers. Treatment with rifampicin did not result in the accumulation of single-stranded DNA. However, deletion of an EcoRI-PstI fragment resulted in the accumulation of both single-stranded DNA and HMW multimers. From various deletion derivatives, we have mapped the minus origin and the locus responsible for suppression of HMW multimer formation. Full activity of the minus origin and of the locus suppressing HMW formation was only observed on the native replicon, indicating a coupling to the plus strand synthesis.

Alkaline phosphatase production of Bacillus subtilis

Since alkaline phosphate activity increases in sporulation medium during the developmental period, in spite of the presence of inorganic phosphate, the uptake and intracellular concentration of phosphate were measured. While the uptake of inorganic phosphate decreases and the concentration of acid-soluble organic phosphate remains constant, the intracellular concentration of inorganic phosphate increases to about 30 mM after the end of growth. Some compound other than inorganic phosphate must therefore repress alkaline phosphatase. Other experiments showed that addition of glucose delays both the alkaline phosphatase increase and sporulation by about the same time.     

Cell cycle and sporulation in Bacillus subtilis

Recent work on cell division and chromosome orientation and partitioning in Bacillus subtilis has provided insights into cell cycle regulation during growth and development. The cell cycle is an integral part of development and entrance into sporulation is modulated by signals that transmit the status of DNA integrity, chromosome replication and segregation. In addition, B. subtilis modifies cell division and DNA segregation to establish cell-type-specific gene expression during sporulation.     

Bacillus subtilis mutants dependent on streptomycin

Summary Six streptomycin-dependent mutants of Bacillus subtilis, two of which were asporogenous, were isolated. All six mutants, SD1, SD2, SD6, SD7, SD9 and SD10, contained a single mutation causing streptomycin dependence and asporogeny, but four of these mutants (SD6, SD7, SD9, SD10) contained a second mutation which phenotypically suppressed the asporogenous character of the streptomycin dependence mutation. All six mutants grew more slowly than the wild type strain BR151, but those defective in sporulation grew the slowest. The streptomycin dependence mutations of SD9 and SD10B (a sporeplus transformant from SD10 carrying both the dependence mutation and the phenotypic suppressor) lie near or possibly within the strA locus. Ribosomes from SD9, SD10A (a spore-minus transformant from SD10 carrying only the dependence mutation), and SD10B were stimulated in vitro by concentrations of streptomycin that inhibit the activity of wild type strain BR151 ribosomes. The level of misreading as measured by poly(U)-directed isoleucine incorporation was greatly enhanced by streptomycin in wild type strain BR151 ribosomes, but misreading of mutant SD9, SD10A, and SD10B ribosomes, irrespective of the sporulation phenotype, was little affected by streptomycin. There were no apparent differences in the patterns obtained by two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of the 70S ribosomal proteins of the mutants SD9, SD10A, SD10B, and wild type strain BS151.
