Evolutionary conservation and DNA binding properties of the Ssh7 proteins from Sulfolobus shibatae

The thermoacidophilic archaeon Sulfolobus shibatae synthesizes a large amount of the 7-ku DMA binding proteins known as Ssh7. Our hybridization experiments showed that two Ssh7-encoding genes existed in the genome of S. shibatae. These two genes, designated ssh7a and ssh7b, have been cloned, sequenced and expressed in Escherichia coli. The two Ssh7 proteins differ only at three amino acid positions. In addition, the cis-regulatory sequences of the ssh7a and ssh7b genes are highly conserved. These results suggest the presence of a selective pressure to maintain not only the sequence but also the expression of the two genes. We have also found that there are two genes encoding the 7-ku protein in Sulfolobus solfataricus. Based on this and other studies, we suggest that the gene encoding the 7-ku protein underwent duplication before the separation of Sulfolobus species. Binding of native Ssh7 and recombinant (r)Ssh7 to short duplex DNA fragments was analyzed by electrophoretic mobility shift assays. Both n     

人睫状神经营养因子在大肠杆菌和毕赤酵母中的表达和生物活性测定

The recombinant human ciliary neurotrophi factor(hCNTF)expressed in E.coli aggregatedas inclusion bodies and refolding procedure was necessary to obtine the active protein.To overcome the disadvantage,we cloned hcntf gene into yeast expression plasmid pPIC9K and collected the plasmid pPIC9K-hcntf.Plasmid pPIC9K-hcntf was transformed into yeast Pichia pastoris GS115,and screened on G418-SD plates.The transformants with high copies of hcntf gene were inoculated into BMMY media and induced with 0.5% methanol.The recombinant hCNTF was secreted into the media.The amount of hCNTF in the supernatant was about 10 mg/L when incubated in the conical flasks and reached up to 60 mg/L under fed-batch condition in 15 L fermentator.The recombinant hCNTF expressed in E.coli was renatured as the control.The neonatal rat dorsal root ganglion assay showed that proteins expressed in both systems have the activity of promoting the growth of neuron axons.The phenomenon can be observed with only 3 μg hCNTF expressed in yeast present,which indicates that hCNTF was successfully expressed in Pichia pastoris and has a relatively high activity.     

表达鸡传染性支气管炎病毒JS/95/03株S1蛋白的重组杆状病毒构建

The recombinant baculovirus expressing S1 glycoprotein of nephropathogenic strain JS/95/03 of infectious bronchitis virus was generated by using the Bac-to-Bac baculovirus expression system.The BamH I-Sal Ⅰ fragment containing S1 gene from the recombinant plasmid pMDJS9503S1 was purified and cloned in frame into the baculovirus transposing vector pFASTBAC HTa under the polyhedrin gene promoter.The recombinant transposing plasmid pFASTJS9503S1 was screened and then transformed into Escherichia coli DH10BAC.The resulting recombinant bacmid rBacmidJS9503S1 was transfected into cells of the insect Spodoptera frugiperda(Sf9)and the recombinant baculoviruse rAcJS9503S1 was obtained.The lysates of cells infected with rAcJS9503S1 were analyzed by SDS-PAGE and the expressed product of S1 gene was detected by Western bloting and immunofluorescence assay(IFA).The results showed the recombinant baculovirus was fully capable of expressing S1 glycoprotein of JS/95/03.Maybe owing to the incomplete glycosylation in insect cells,the S1 gene product had a Mr of only 61000.In immunofluorescence test and Western blotting,the expressed product could react with polycolonal antibody against IBV M41 strain,indicating it possessed the antigenic properties specific for native S1 glycoprotein.

Reconstitution of DNA topoisomerase VI of the thermophilic archaeon Sulfolobus shibatae from subunits separately overexpressed in Escherichia coli.

DNA topoisomerase VI from the hyperthermophilic archaeon Sulfolobus shibatae is the prototype of a novel family of type II DNA topoisomerases that share little sequence similarity with other type II enzymes, including bacterial and eukaryal type II DNA topoisomerases and archaeal DNA gyrases. DNA topoisomerase VI relaxes both negatively and positively supercoiled DNA in the presence of ATP and has no DNA supercoiling activity. The native enzyme is a heterotetramer composed of two subunits, A and B, with apparent molecular masses of 47 and 60 kDa, respectively. Here wereport the overexpression in Escherichia coli and the purification of each subunit. The A subunit exhibits clusters of arginines encoded by rare codons in E.coli . The expression of this protein thus requires the co-expression of the minor E.coli arginyl tRNA which reads AGG and AGA codons. The A subunit expressed in E.coli was obtained from inclusion bodies after denaturation and renaturation. The B subunit was overexpressed in E.coli and purified in soluble form. When purified B subunit was added to the renatured A subunit, ATP-dependent relaxation and decatenation activities of the hyperthermophilic DNA topoisomerase were reconstituted. The reconstituted recombinant enzyme exhibits a specific activity similar to the enzyme purified from S.shibatae . It catalyzes transient double-strand cleavage of DNA and becomes covalently attached to the ends of the cleaved DNA. This cleavage is detected only in the presence of both subunits and in the presence of ATP or its non-hydrolyzable analog AMPPNP.     

Cloning of the virulence regulatory (vir) locus of Bordetella pertussis and its expression in B. bronchiseptica

The gene coding for a thermostable alpha-amylase from Clostridium thermosulfurogenes (DSM 3896) was cloned in Escherichia coli using pUC18 as a vector. The recombinant plasmid pCT2 of an amylolytic positive transformant of E. coli contained a 2.9 kbp fragment of chromosomal DNA of C. thermosulfurogenes carrying the alpha-amylase gene. In E. coli the gene was apparently transcribed by its own promoter. Comparative studies showed no difference between the original and the heterologously in E. coli expressed enzyme. The latter was not secreted into the medium.

嗜酸热硫化叶菌麦芽寡粉基海藻糖合酶基因的克隆和表达

The gene of MTSase (maltooligosyltrehalose synthase) from Sulfolobus acidocaldarius ATCC49426 was amplified by PCR. The primers were designed according to the published sequence of homologous gene from Sulfolobus acidocaldarius ATCC33909. This gene was inserted into the plasmid pBV220 and the resultant recombinant plasmid pBV220-GT was transformed to E. coli DH5 alpha. The activity of recombinant enzyme was about 10 u/g(wet cell). In order to improve the expression level of target protein, some nucleotides in the 3' and 5' of the gene were modified to optimize the second structure of mRNA by PCR amplification using the new primers devised according to the biosoftware GOLDKEY2.0. As a result, the activity of recombinant enzyme increase to 19.8 u/g(wet cell). Then, the helping plasmid pUBS520 which carried the gene encoding the tRNA of rare codons AGG and AGA was transformed to the recombinant strain. But it took little effect.     

Cloning and characterization of glycogen-debranching enzyme from hyperthermophilic archaeon Sulfolobus shibatae

A gene encoding a putative glycogen-debranching enzyme in Sulfolobus shibatae (abbreviated as SSGDE) was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli. The recombinant enzyme was purified to homogeneity by heat treatment and Ni-NTA affinity chromatography. The recombinant SSGDE was extremely thermostable, with an optimal temperature at 85 degrees C. The enzyme had an optimum pH of 5.5 and was highly stable from pH 4.5 to 6.5. The substrate specificity of SSGDE suggested that it possesses characteristics of both amylo-1,6-glucosidase and alpha-1,4-glucanotransferase. SSGDE clearly hydrolyzed pullulan to maltotrlose, and 6-O-alpha-maltosyl-beta-cyclodextrin (G2-beta-CD) to maltose and beta-cyclodextrin. At the same time, SSGDE transferred maltooligosyl residues to the maltooligosaccharides employed, and maltosyl residues to G2-beta-CD. The enzyme preferentially hydrolyzed amylopectin, followed in a decreasing order by glycogen, pullulan, and amylose. Therefore, the present results suggest that the glycogen-debranching enzyme from S. shibatae may have industrial application for the efficient debranching and modification of starch to dextrins at a high temperature.     

Cloning and expression of an alpha-amylase gene from Streptomyces thermoviolaceus CUB74 in Escherichia coli JM107 and S. lividans TK24

A gene coding for a thermostable extracellular alpha-amylase, carried by a 5.7 kb BamHI chromosomal DNA fragment isolated from Streptomyces thermoviolaceus strain CUB74, was cloned into Escherichia coli JM107 using, as a cloning vector, the high-copy-number plasmid pUC8. E. coli containing a recombinant plasmid pQR300 expressed the amylase gene and exported the enzyme into the periplasmic space and the culture medium. The amylase protein expressed by E. coli had the same molecular mass (50 kDa) as that expressed by the Streptomyces parent strain, which suggests that the enzyme is processed similarly by both strains. The amylase gene was also cloned into Streptomyces lividans TK24 using pIJ702 as vector. The enzyme was stable at 70 degrees C when CaCl2 was present.     

Thermoadaptation of a mesophilic hygromycin B phosphotransferase by directed evolution in hyperthermophilic Archaea: selection of a stable genetic marker for DNA transfer into Sulfolobus solfataricus

A mutated version of the hygromycin B phosphotransferase (hph(mut)) gene from Escherichia coli, isolated by directed evolution at 75 degrees C in transformants of a thermophilic strain of Sulfolobus solfataricus, was characterized with respect to its genetic stability in both the original mesophilic and the new thermophilic hosts. This gene was demonstrated to be able to express the hygromycin B resistance phenotype and to be steadily maintained and propagated also in other, more thermophilic strains of S. solfataricus, i.e., up to 82 degrees C. Furthermore, it may be transferred to S. solfataricus cells by cotransformation with pKMSD48, another extrachromosomal element derived from the virus SSV1 of Sulfolobus shibatae, without any loss of stability and without affecting the replication and infectivity of this viral DNA. The hph(mut) and the wild-type gene products were expressed at higher levels in E. coli and purified by specific affinity chromatography on immobilized hygromycin B. Comparative characterization revealed that the mutant enzyme had acquired significant thermoresistance and displayed higher thermal activity with augmented catalytic efficiency.
