The d-psicose 3-epimerase (DPE) gene from Ruminococcus sp. was cloned and overexpressed in Escherichia coli. The recombinant protein was purified and characterized. It was optimally active at pH 7.5–8.0 and 60?°C. Activity was not dependent on the presence of metal ions; however, it became more thermostable with added Mn2+. The K m of the enzyme for d-psicose (48?mM) was lower than that for d-tagatose (230?mM), suggesting that d-psicose is the optimum substrate. More importantly, the thermostability of the novel DPE from Ruminococcus is the strongest among all of the d-psicose and d-tagatose 3-epimerases and may be suitable for the industrial production of d-psicose from fructose. 相似文献

d-Tagatose 3-epimerase family enzymes can efficiently catalyze the epimerization of free keto-sugars, which could be used for d-psicose production from d-fructose. In previous studies, all optimum pH values of these enzymes were found to be alkaline. In this study, a d-psicose 3-epimerase (DPEase) with neutral pH optimum from Clostridium bolteae (ATCC BAA-613) was identified and characterized. The gene encoding the recombinant DPEase was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli. In order to characterize the catalytic properties, the recombinant DPEase was purified to electrophoretic homogeneity using nickel-affinity chromatography. Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid was shown to inhibit the enzyme activity completely; therefore, the enzyme was identified as a metalloprotein that exhibited the highest activity in the presence of Co2+. Although the DPEase demonstrated the most activity at a pH ranging from 6.5 to 7.5, it exhibited optimal activity at pH 7.0. The optimal temperature for the recombinant DPEase was 55 °C, and the half-life was 156 min at 55 °C. Using d-psicose as the substrate, the apparent K m, k cat, and catalytic efficiency (k cat/K m) were 27.4 mM, 49 s?1, and 1.78 s?1 mM?1, respectively. Under the optimal conditions, the equilibrium ratio of d-fructose to d-psicose was 69:31. For high production of d-psicose, 216 g/L d-psicose could be produced with 28.8 % turnover yield at pH 6.5 and 55 °C. The recombinant DPEase exhibited weak-acid stability and thermostability and had a high affinity and turnover for the substrate d-fructose, indicating that the enzyme was a potential d-psicose producer for industrial production. 相似文献

A stable immobilized d-psicose 3-epimerase for the production of d-psicose in the presence of borate
Maximal activity of the immobilized d-psicose 3-epimerase from Agrobacterium tumefaciens on Duolite A568 beads was achieved at pH 9.0 and 55 °C with borate, and at pH 8.5 and 50 °C without borate. The half-lives of the immobilized enzyme at 50 °C with and without borate were increased 4.2- and 128-fold compared to that of the free enzyme without borate, respectively. The immobilized enzyme with borate produced 441 g l?1 psicose from 700 g l?1 fructose at pH 9.0 and 55 °C, whereas 193 g l?1 psicose was produced without borate at pH 8.5 and 50 °C after 120 min in a batch reaction. The immobilized enzyme in a packed-bed bioreactor without borate was produced continuously 325 g l?1 psicose from 500 g l?1 fructose at a dilution rate of 1.62 h?1 over a 236 h period with productivity of 527 g l?1 h?1 while that without borate produced 146 g l?1 psicose at 4.15 h?1 over a 384-h period with productivity of 606 g l?1 h?1. The operational half-lives of the enzyme with and without borate in the bioreactor were 601 and 645 h, respectively. In the present study, psicose was produced stably with high productivity using the immobilized d-psicose 3-epimerase in the presence of borate. 相似文献

d-Psicose has been attracting attention in recent years because of its alimentary activities and is used as an ingredient in a range of foods and dietary supplements. To develop a one-step enzymatic process of d-psicose production, thermoactive d-glucose isomerase and the d-psicose 3-epimerase obtained from Bacillus sp. and Ruminococcus sp., respectively, were successfully co-expressed in Escherichia coli BL21 strain. The substrate of one-step enzymatic process was d-glucose. The co-expression system exhibited maximum activity at 65 °C and pH 7.0. Mg2+ could enhance the output of d-psicose by 2.32 fold to 1.6 g/L from 10 g/L of d-glucose. When using high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) as substrate, 135 g/L d-psicose was produced under optimum conditions. The mass ratio of d-glucose, d-fructose, and d-psicose was almost 3.0:2.7:1.0, when the reaction reached equilibrium after an 8 h incubation time. This co-expression system approaching to produce d-psicose has potential application in food and beverage products, especially softdrinks. 相似文献

An endo-acting xylanase is isolated from the culture medium of Clostridium sp. BOH3 when xylan, glucose, xylose, or sugarcane bagasse hydrolysate (SBH) is used as a carbon source. Crude xylanase is purified by using an anionic Q-column with a yield of 39 %. The pure xylanase has a molecular weight of 35.8 kDa, and it shows optimal activity at pH 5 and 60 °C. When beechwood xylan is used as a substrate, this xylanase liberates short oligosaccharides (XOS) predominantly, ranging from xylobiose (X2) to xylopentaose (X5). However, no xylose can be detected, suggesting that this is an endo-β-1,4-xylanase. Kinetic study of this xylanase reveals that K m and V max are 1.36 mg/ml and 212 μmol/(min. mg protein), respectively. On the basis of amino acid sequence, this enzyme shows homology to xylanase (xynb) from Clostridium acetobutylicum ATCC 824, but this enzyme has several distinctive characteristics. For example, its activity can be enhanced with the addition of divalent metal ions, and it produces XOS exclusively when xylan is used as a substrate. These unique characteristics suggest that this is a new enzyme. 相似文献

A new xylanolytic bacterium designated strain HESP1T (T = type strain) was isolated from a methanogenic digester. Strain HESP1T was a motile, rod shaped, spore-forming bacterium, which possessed a Gram-positive type cell wall. Glucose, fructose, lactose, trehalose, maltose, raffinose, sucrose, xylan, mannitol, cellobiose, galactose, mannose, melibiose, ribose were fermented to produce, acetate, butyrate, H2, CO2, formate, isobutyrate, and ethanol. Fumarate was fermented to acetate. Glycerol and methanol were also utilized. Sulfate, thiosulfate, nitrate, sulfur and fumarate were not used as electron acceptors. Strain HESP1T had a G + C content of 40 mol% and grew optimally at 37 degrees C and pH 7 on a fructose containing medium. Phylogenetically, strain HESP1T was most related to Clostridium aminovalericum (similarity of 94%) than to C. populeti, C. herbivorans and Eubacterium xylanophilum (average similarity of 92%), all members of subcluster XIVa of the low G + C containing Gram-positive branch. However, strain HESP1T shared little phenotypic and genotypic traits with C. aminovalericum and on the basis of this and phylogenetic evidence, we propose to tentatively designate strain HESP1T as a new species of the genus Clostridium, Clostridium xylanovorans sp. nov. The type strain is HESP1T (= DSM 12503). 相似文献

In a previous study, a marine isolate Clostridium sp. EDB2 degraded 2,4,6,8,10,12-hexanitro-2,4,6,8,10,12-hexaazaisowurtzitane (CL-20) under anaerobic conditions (Bhushan B, Halasz A, Thiboutot S, Ampleman G, Hawari J (2004c) Chemotaxis-mediated biodegradation of cyclic nitramine explosives RDX, HMX, and CL-20 by Clostridium sp. EDB2. Biochem Biophys Res Commun 316:816–821); however, the enzyme responsible for CL-20 degradation was not known. In the present study, we isolated and purified an enzyme, from strain EDB2, responsible for CL-20 degradation. The enzyme was membrane-associated and NADH-dependent and had a molecular weight of 56 kDa (with SDS-PAGE). N-terminal amino acid sequence of enzyme revealed that it belonged to dehydrogenase class of enzymes. The purified enzyme degraded CL-20 at a rate of 18.5 nmol/h mg protein under anaerobic conditions. Carbon and nitrogen mass balance of the products were 100 and 64%, respectively. In LC–MS–MS studies, we detected three different initial metabolites from CL-20, i.e., mono-nitroso derivative, denitrohydrogenated product, and double-denitrated isomers with molecular weight of 422, 393, and 346 Da, corresponding to presumed empirical formulas of C6H6N12O11, C6H7N11O10, and C6H6N10O8, respectively. Identity of all the three metabolites were confirmed by using ring-labeled [15N]CL-20 and the nitro-group-labeled [15NO2]CL-20. Taken together, the above data suggested that the enzyme degraded CL-20 via three different routes: Route A, via two single electron transfers necessary to release two nitro-groups from CL-20 to produce two double-denitrated isomers; Route B, via a hydride transfer necessary to produce a denitrohydrogenated product; and Route C, via transfer of two redox equivalents to CL-20 necessary to produce a mono-nitroso derivative of CL-20. This is the first biochemical study which showed that CL-20 degradation can be initiated via more than one pathway. 相似文献

An inducible O-demethylating enzyme system was characterized from Clostridium thermoaceticum cultivated at the expense of syringate. Glucose and methanol, but not CO, partially repressed its expression. Induced whole cells catalyzed the carbon monoxide (CO)-dependent O demethylation of methoxylated aromatic compounds with the concomitant formation of acetate. Pyruvate and, to a lesser extent, H2-CO2 could replace CO in these reactions. KCN inhibited pyruvate-dependent activity but not the CO-dependent activity. The ATPase inhibitor N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide, the protonophore carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenylhydrazone, and methyl viologen did not appreciably inhibit O demethylation by induced cells, whereas Triton X-100 was inhibitory. The enzyme system appeared to convert syringate sequentially to 5-hydroxyvanillate and gallate. The proposed overall reaction stoichiometry was as follows: syringate + 2CO + 2H2O----gallate + 2 acetates. Growth-supportive methoxylated aromatic compounds were O demethylated by syringate-cultivated cells and inhibitory to syringate O demethylation. 相似文献

The novel chitinolytic bacterium Serratia sp. KCK, which was isolated from kimchi juice, produced chitinase A. The gene coding for the chitinolytic enzyme was cloned on the basis of sequencing of internal peptides, homology search, and design of degenerated primers. The cloned open reading frame of chiA encodes for deduced polypeptide of 563 amino acid residues with a calculated molecular mass of 61 kDa and appears to correspond to a molecular mass of about 57 kDa, which excluded the signal sequence. The deduced amino acid sequence showed high similarity to those of bacterial chitinases classified as family 18 of glycosyl hydrolases. The chitinase A is an exochitinase and exhibits a greater pH range (5.0-10.0), thermostability with a temperature optimum of 40 degrees C, and substrate range other than Serratia chitinases thus far described. These results suggested that Serratia sp. KCK chitinase A can be used for biotechnological applications with good potential. 相似文献

Summary A pullulan-hydrolysing enzyme of Micrococcus sp. 207 was purified to an electrophoretically homogenous state by chromatography on DEAE-Toyopearl, -cyclodextrin-Sepharose and Asahipak GS-520P. The purified enzyme was free of -amylase activity. The molecular weight of the enzyme as estimated by SDS-PAGE was 120,000 and the pI value as determined by isoelectric focusing was 4.9. The enzyme was most active at pH 8.0 and 50°C. The enzyme was activated by the addition of CaCl2, but its thermoresistance increased after removing free Ca2+ ions. The enzyme could hydrolyse the -1,6-linkages of amylopectins, glycogens and pullulan and the K
m value for pullulan was about 0.018%. Pullulan at concentrations above 0.012% inhibited the enzyme activity and the activity was competitively inhibited by cyclodextrins.

A genomic library of Sinorhizobium sp. strain NGR234 was introduced into Escherichia coli LS5218, a strain with a constitutively active pathway for acetoacetate degradation, and clones that confer the ability to utilize D-3-hydroxybutyrate as a sole carbon source were isolated. Subcloning experiments identified a 2.3 kb EcoRI fragment that retained complementing ability, and an ORF that appeared orthologous with known bdhA genes was located within this fragment. The deduced NGR234 BdhA amino acid sequence revealed 91% identity to the Sinorhizobium meliloti BdhA. Site-directed insertion mutagenesis was performed by introduction of a OmegaSmSp cassette at a unique EcoRV site within the bdhA coding region. A NGR234 bdhA mutant, NGRPA2, was generated by homogenotization, utilizing the sacB gene-based lethal selection procedure. This mutant was devoid of D-3-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase activity, and was unable to grow on D-3-hydroxybutyrate as sole carbon source. NGRPA2 exhibited symbiotic defects on Leucaena but not on Vigna, Macroptilium or Tephrosia host plants. Furthermore, the D-3-hydroxybutyrate utilization phenotype of NGRPA2 was suppressed by presence of plasmid-encoded multiple copies of the S. meliloti acsA2 gene. The glpK-bdhA-xdhA gene organization and the bdhA-xdhA operon arrangement observed in S. meliloti are also conserved in NGR234. 相似文献

A Gram positive, motile, rod-shaped, strictly anaerobic bacterium isolated from intestine of decaying fish was identified as Clostridium sp. RKD and produced a botulinum type B-like neurotoxin as suggested by mouse bioassay and protection with anti botulinum antibodies. The neurotoxicity was functionally characterized by the phrenic nerve hemi-diaphragm assay. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rDNA sequence, placed it at a different position from the reported strains of Clostridium botulinum. The strain exhibited differences from both Clostridium botulinum and Clostridium tetani with respect to morphological, biochemical and chemotaxonomic characteristics. Botulinum group specific and serotype specific primers amplified the DNA fragments of 260 and 727 bp, respectively, indicating presence of botulinum type 'B' toxin gene. Sequence of nearly 700 bp amplified using primers specific for botulinum neurotoxin type B gene, did not show any significant match in the database when subjected to BLAST search. 相似文献

UDPgalactose 4-epimerase (epimerase) catalyzes the reversible conversion between UDPgalactose and UDPglucose and is an important enzyme of the galactose metabolic pathway. The Saccharomyces cerevisiae epimerase encoded by the GAL10 gene is about twice the size of either the bacterial or human protein. Sequence analysis indicates that the yeast epimerase has an N-terminal domain (residues 1-377) that shows significant similarity with Escherichia coli and human UDPgalactose 4-epimerase, and a C-terminal domain (residues 378-699), which shows extensive identity to either the bacterial or human aldose 1-epimerase (mutarotase). The S. cerevisiae epimerase was purified to > 95% homogeneity by sequential chromatography on DEAE-Sephacel and Resource-Q columns. Purified epimerase preparations showed mutarotase activity and could convert either alpha-d-glucose or alpha-d-galactose to their beta-anomers. Induction of cells with galactose led to simultaneous enhancement of both epimerase and mutarotase activities. Size exclusion chromatography experiments confirmed that the mutarotase activity is an intrinsic property of the yeast epimerase and not due to a copurifying endogenous mutarotase. When the purified protein was treated with 5'-UMP and l-arabinose, epimerase activity was completely lost but the mutarotase activity remained unaffected. These results demonstrate that the S. cerevisiae UDPgalactose 4-epimerase is a bifunctional enzyme with aldose 1-epimerase activity. The active sites for these two enzymatic activities are located in different regions of the epimerase holoenzyme. 相似文献

The gene encoding a peptidase that belongs to the proteinase K family of serine peptidases has been identified from a psychrotrophic Serratia sp., and cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli. The gene has 1890 base pairs and encodes a precursor protein of 629 amino acids with a theoretical molecular mass of 65.5 kDa. Sequence analysis suggests that the peptidase consists of a prepro region, a catalytic domain and two C-terminal domains. The enzyme is recombinantly expressed as an active approximately 56 kDa peptidase and includes both C-terminal domains. Purified enzyme is converted to the approximately 34 kDa form by autolytic cleavage when incubated at 50 degrees C for 30 min, but retains full activity. In the present work, the Serratia peptidase (SPRK) is compared with the family representative proteinase K (PRK) from Tritirachium album Limber. Both enzymes show a relatively high thermal stability and a broad pH stability profile. SPRK possess superior stability towards SDS at 50 degrees C compared to PRK. On the other hand, SPRK is considerably more labile to removal of calcium ions. The activity profiles against temperature and pH differ for the two enzymes. SPRK shows both a broader pH optimum as well as a higher temperature optimum than PRK. Analysis of the catalytic properties of SPRK and PRK using the synthetic peptide succinyl-Ala-Ala-Pro-Phe-pNA as substrate showed that SPRK possesses a 3.5-4.5-fold higher kcat at the temperature range 12-37 degrees C, but a fivefold higher Km results in a slightly lower catalytic efficiency (kcat/Km) of SPRK compared to PRK. 相似文献

Insoluble lauryl pyridinium iodide [C12(50)] was synthesized as an antimicrobial agent. Escherichia coli cells were not killed by C12(50) but only adsorbed onto it. Though cells on C12(50) could not grow in nutrient agar, they possessed the ability to develop once they were liberated from C12(50). The adsorption of cells onto C12(50) was inhibited by iodide anions released from C12(50) itself. The ability of C12(50) to adsorb was decreased by the adsorbed cells, but C12(50) could be reactivated by washing with alkaline solutions. It was, therefore, suggested that this adsorption was mainly due to the electrostatic interaction between cells and C12(50). The adsorption of cells onto C12(50) was confirmed by scanning electron microscopy. 相似文献

A Clostridium species causing spoilage of vacuum-packed refrigerated pork was isolated and characterized. The unknown organism differed phenotypically from other clostridial species usually associated with spoilage. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequencing demonstrated that the psychrotroph represents a distinct line of descent within the genus Clostridium. It is proposed that the organism be classified as a new species of the genus Clostridium, Clostridium algidicarnis . 相似文献
