Saccharomyces cerevisiae SOD2and CUP1genes were used to maintain high-copy number plasmids (YEp) in laboratory and industrial yeast strains. The plasmid, YEpS , containing the SOD2 gene was unstable in a sod2° mutant. However when Paraquat (0.5 mM) was used as a selective agent, the plasmid was maintained in the sod2° mutant but lost in the wild-type strain. When the CUP1 gene was inserted into YEpS 1 , the resulting plasmid (YEpCuS ) was 100% stable in the sod2° mutant grown in Cu -containing medium. In the absence of Cu , the proportion of plasmid-containing cells fell to 20%. YEpS was also transformed into an industrial strain, transformants could be selected in Paraquat-containing medium but showed poor stability. 相似文献

A process for production of a malaria transmission blocking vaccine candidate under the control of the ADH2 promoter in Saccharomyces cerevisiae was developed. Monitoring and controlling the ethanol concentration during the process is essential for successful expression of the recombinant protein. A simple sensor accomplishing this task has been developed, the principle of its operation is the following: air-flow through silicone tubing submerged in the media picks up ethanol, which is detected by an alcohol sensor that relays a signal to a controller regulating the amount of ethanol added to the culture. The sensor was used successfully in high cell density cultures of various scales. 相似文献

Versatile cassettes designed for the copper inducible expression of proteins in yeast 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
A series of yeast expression vectors and cassettes utilizing the CUP1 gene of Saccharomyces cerevisiae have been constructed. The cassettes contain multiple cloning sites for gene fusions and were created by inserting a 27-bp polylinker at the +14 position of the CUP1 gene. The cassettes are portable as restriction fragments and enable copper-regulated expression of foreign proteins in S. cerevisiae. In copper sensitive yeast, multiple copies of the CUP1 cassettes confer copper resistance due to the production of the copper metallothionein. Genes cloned into the CUP1 cassettes, however, usually prevent translation of the metallothionein leading to a loss of resistance. This could be useful for one-step cloning into yeast. 相似文献

Cyanophycin [multi-L-arginyl-poly(L-aspartic acid) (CGP)] was, for the first time, produced in yeast. As yeasts are very important production organisms in biotechnology, it was determined if CGP can be produced in two different strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The episomal vector systems pESC (with the galactose-inducible promoter GAL1) and pYEX-BX (with the copper ion-inducible promoter CUP1) were chosen to express the cyanophycin synthetase gene from the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. strain PCC 6308 (cphA(6308)) in yeast. Expression experiments with transgenic yeasts revealed that the use of the CUP1 promoter is much more efficient for CGP production than the GAL1 promoter. As observed by electrophoresis of isolated CGP in sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels, the yeast strains produced two different types of polymer: the water-soluble and the water-insoluble CGP were observed as major and minor forms of the polymer, respectively. A maximum CGP content of 6.9% (wt/wt) was detected in the cells. High-performance liquid chromatography analysis showed that the isolated polymers consisted mainly of the two amino acids aspartic acid and arginine and that, in addition, a minor amount (2 mol%) of lysine was present. Growth of transgenic yeasts in the presence of 15 mM lysine resulted in an incorporation of up to 10 mol% of lysine into CGP. Anti-CGP antibodies generated against CGP isolated from Escherichia coli TOP10 harboring cphA(6308) reacted with insoluble CGP but not with soluble CGP, if applied in Western or dot blots. 相似文献

A new amperometric microbial biosensor based on Saccharomyces cerevisiae NRRL-12632 cells, which had been induced for lysine oxidase enzyme and immobilized in gelatin by a cross-linking agent was developed for the sensitive determination of L-lysine amino acid. To construct the microbial biosensor S. cerevisiae cells were activated and cultured in a suitable culture medium. By using gelatine (8.43 mg cm(-2)) and glutaraldehyde (0.25%), cells obtained in the logarithmic phase of the growth curve at the end of a 14 h period were immobilized and fixed on a pretreated oxygen sensitive Teflon membrane of a dissolved oxygen probe. The assay procedure of the microbial biosensor is based on the determination of the differences of the respiration activity of the cells on the oxygenmeter in the absence and the presence of L-lysine. According to the end point measurement technique used in the experiments it was determined that the microbial biosensor response depended linearly on L-lysine concentrations between 1.0 and 10.0 microM with a 1 min response time. In optimization studies of the microbial biosensor, the most suitable microorganism quantities were found to be 0.97x10(5)CFU cm(-2). In addition phosphate buffer (pH 7.5; 50 mM) and 30 degrees C were obtained as the optimum working conditions. In characterization studies of the microbial biosensor some parameters such as substrate specificity, interference effects of some substances on the microbial biosensor responses, reproducibility of the biosensor and operational and storage stability were investigated. 相似文献

Improved shuttle vectors for cloning and high-level Cu(2+)-mediated expression of foreign genes in yeast 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
New yeast episomal vectors having a high degree of utility for cloning and expression in Saccharomyces cerevisiae are described. One vector, pYEULlacZ, is based on pUC19 and employs the pUC19 multiple cloning site for the selection of recombinants in Escherichia coli by lacZ inactivation. In addition, the vector contains two genes, URA3 and leu2-d, for selection of the plasmid in ura3 or leu2 yeast strains. The presence of the leu2-d gene appears to promote replication at high copy numbers. The introduction of CUP1 cassettes allows these plasmids to direct Cu(2+)-regulated production of foreign proteins in yeast. We show the production of a helminth antigen as an example of the vector application. 相似文献

Copper uptake in wild type and copper metallothionein-deficient Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Kinetics and mechanism 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
The mechanism of copper uptake in Saccharomyces cerevisiae has been investigated using a combination of 64Cu2+ and atomic absorption spectrophotometry. A wild type copper-resistant CUP 1R-containing strain and a strain carrying a deletion of the CUP1 locus (yeast copper metallothionein) exhibited quantitatively similar saturable energy-dependent 64Cu2+ uptake when cultures were pregrown in copper-free media (medium [Cu] approximately 15 nM). The kinetic constants for uptake by the wild type strain were Vmax = 0.21 nmol of copper/min/mg of protein and Km = 4.4 microM. This accumulation of 64Cu2+ represented net uptake as confirmed by atomic absorption spectrophotometry. This uptake was not seen in glucose-starved cells, but was supported in glycerol- and ethanol-grown ones. Uptake was inhibited by both N3- and dinitrophenol and was barely detectable in cultures at 4 degrees C. When present at 50 microM, Zn2+ and Ni2+ inhibited by 50% indicating that this uptake process was relatively selective for Cu2+. 64Cu2+ accumulation was qualitatively and quantitatively different in cultures either grown in or preincubated with cold Cu2+. Either treatment resulted in the appearance of a fast phase (t 1/2 approximately 1 min) of 64Cu2+ accumulation which represented isotopic exchange since it did not lead to an increase in the mass of cell-associated copper; also, it was not energy-dependent. Exchange of 64Cu2+ into this pool was not inhibited by Zn2+. Pretreatment with Cu2+ caused a change in the rate of net accumulation as well; a 3-h incubation of cells in 5 microM medium Cu2+ caused a 1.6-fold increase in the velocity of energy-dependent uptake. Prior addition of cycloheximide abolished this Cu2(+)-dependent increase and, in fact, inhibited the 64Cu2+ uptake velocity by greater than 85%. The exchangeable pool was also absent in cycloheximide, Cu2(+)-treated cells suggesting that exchangeable Cu2+ derived from the copper taken up initially by the energy-dependent process. The thionein deletion mutant was similar to wild type in response to medium Cu2+ and cycloheximide indicating that copper metallothionein is not directly involved in Cu2+ uptake (as distinct from retention) in yeast. 相似文献

PDR13 in Saccharomyces cerevisiae contributes to drug resistance via sequential activation of PDR1 and PDR5. In this study, we found that a PDR13 deletion mutant was hypersensitive to Cu(2+) compared to the wild-type counterpart. The Cu(2+) tolerance mechanism mediated by Pdr13 does not seem to involve Pdr1 or Pdr5, since mutants harboring a deletion of either the PDR1 or PDR5 gene did not show elevated Cu(2+) sensitivity. Instead, we found that the PDR13 null mutant could not express CUP1 or CRS5 metallothionein at wild-type levels when subjected to high Cu(2+) stress. These results suggest that Pdr13 contributes to high Cu(2+) tolerance of S. cerevisiae, at least in part, via a mechanism involving metallothionein expression. 相似文献

Arginase (EC 3.5.3.1; L-arginine amidinohydrolase) is a key enzyme of the urea cycle that catalyses the conversion of arginine to ornithine and urea, which is the final cytosolic reaction of urea formation in the mammalian liver. The recombinant strain of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae that is capable of overproducing arginase I (rhARG1) from human liver under the control of the efficient copper-inducible promoter CUP1, was constructed. The (His)(6)-tagged rhARG1 was purified in one step from the cell-free extract of the recombinant strain by metal-affinity chromatography with Ni-NTA agarose. The maximal specific activity of the 40-fold purified enzyme was 1600 μmol min(-1) mg(-1) protein. 相似文献

A flocculent Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain secreting Aspergillus niger beta-galactosidase activity was constructed by transforming S. cerevisiae NCYC869-A3 strain with plasmid pVK1.1 harboring the A. niger beta-galactosidase gene, lacA, under the control of the ADH1 promoter and terminator. Compared to other recombinant S. cerevisiae strains, this recombinant yeast has higher levels of extracellular beta-galactosidase activity. In shake-flask cultures, the beta-galactosidase activity detected in the supernatant was 20 times higher than that obtained with previously constructed strains (Domingues et al. 2000a). In bioreactor culture, with cheese-whey permeate as substrate, a yield of 878.0 nkat/gsubstrate was obtained. The recombinant strain is an attractive alternative to other fungal beta-galactosidase production systems as the enzyme is produced in a rather pure form. Moreover, the use of flocculating yeast cells allows for enzyme production with high productivity in continuous fermentation systems with facilitated downstream processing. 相似文献

Secretion of the heterologous Kluyveromyces lactis beta-galactosidase into culture medium by several Saccharomyces cerevisiae osmotic-remedial thermosensitive-autolytic mutants was assayed and proved that new metabolic abilities were conferred since the constructed strains were able to grow in lactose-containing media. Cell growth became independent of a lactose-uptake mechanism. Higher levels of extra-cellular and intra-cellular beta-galactosidase production, lactose consumption and growth were obtained with the LHDP1 strain, showing a thermosensitive-autolytic phenotype as well as being peptidase-defective. The recombinant strain LHDP1 presented the highest beta-galactosidase yields from biomass and the lowest ethanol levels from lactose. This strain is effective for the heterologous production and release of K. lactis beta-galactosidase into the extra-cellular medium after osmotic shock. 相似文献

Coexpression of BiP increased antithrombotic hirudin production in recombinant Saccharomyces cerevisiae 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
In order to increase a production level of antithrombotic hirudin, BiP was simultaneously expressed in recombinant Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains carrying ten and 15 copies of the hirudin expression cassette integrated in the chromosome. Coexpression of BiP greatly enhanced both cell growth and hirudin production in recombinant S. cerevisiae. Maximum hirudin concentration of 36 mg l(-1) was obtained from batch culture of the ten copy-number transformant concomitantly harboring an episomal copy of the BiP gene under the control of the GAL1 promoter, which is corresponding to a 2.5-fold increase compared with the control strain carrying the genomic BiP gene only. The mean size of the recombinant yeast cells expressing the BiP gene remained at a relatively constant level compared with the control strains of which size increased after the onset of hirudin expression by the GAL10 promoter. 相似文献
