强化类球红细菌辅因子NADPH再生以提高法尼醇的产量

法尼醇(Farnesol,FOH)是由焦磷酸异戊烯基(IPP)和焦磷酸二甲基烯丙基(DMAPP)合成的法尼酰基焦磷酸盐(FPP)去焦磷酸化作用生成的。在类球红细菌中IPP和DMAPP是由MEP途径生成,而完整的MEP途径需要消耗大量的辅因子NADPH,增加胞内NADPH的量有可能强化FOH的合成。文中从增加NADPH的生成和降低NADPH的消耗这两个策略出发,分别干扰了编码6-磷酸葡萄糖异构酶基因(pgi)和谷氨酸脱氢酶基因(gdhA)的表达,同时强化了磷酸戊糖途径中6-葡萄糖磷酸脱氢酶基因(zwf)和6-葡萄糖酸磷酸脱氢酶基因(gnd)的表达。实验结果表明,经改造的菌株NADPH含量显著增加,干扰菌株中菌株RSpgii的产量较高,为3.91 mg/g,在过表达的菌株中同时过表达zwf和gnd基因的重组菌株(RSzg)的FOH产量提高到了3.43 mg/g。为了获得FOH产量更高的菌株,以RSpgii为出发菌株,分别与zwf和gnd组合调控,获得的菌株RSzgpi的产量达到了最高量为4.48 mg/g,是出发菌株RS-GY2产率的2.24倍。

Genetic analysis of the bchC and bchA genes of Rhodobacter sphaeroides

Summary This study has identified by sequence analysis a single gene in the bchC locus of Rhodobacter sphaeroides and three genes, designated bchX, Y and Z, in the bchA locus, which was previously thought to contain only a single gene. All four genes may reside within the same operon and are transcribed in the order bchC-X-Y-Z. Complementation analysis of eight transposon insertion mutants within these genes suggests that bchX, Y and Z are essential for the reduction of 2-devinyl-2hydroxyethyl chlorophyllide a and that bchC encodes the 2-desacetyl-2-hydroxyethyl bacteriochlorophyllide a dehydrogenase. Similarity between the putative BchX protein and dinitrogenase reductase proteins suggests that BchX may also be a reductase, supplying electrons for reduction of 2-devinyl-2-hydroxyethyl chlorophyllide a.     

Molecular cloning, sequence and regulation of expression of the recA gene of the phototrophic bacterium Rhodobacter sphaeroides

The recA gene of Rhodobacter sphaeroides 2.4.1 has been isolated by complementation of a UV-sensitive RecA^– mutant of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Its complete nucleotide sequence consists of 1032 bp, encoding a polypeptide of 343 amino acids. The deduced amino acid sequence displayed highest identity to the RecA proteins from Rhizobium mehloti, Rhizobium phaseoli, and Agrobacterium tumefaciens. An Escherichia coli-like SOS consensus region, which functions as a binding site for the LexA repressor molecule was not present in the 215 by upstream region of the R. sphaeroides recA gene. Nevertheless, by using a recA-lacZ fusion, we have shown that expression of the recA gene of R. sphaeroides is inducible by DNA damage. A recA-defective strain of R. sphaeroides was obtained by replacement of the active recA gene by a gene copy inactived in vitro. The resulting recA mutant exhibited increased sensitivity to UV irradiation, and was impaired in its ability to perform homologous recombination as well as to trigger DNA damage-mediated expression. This is the first recA gene from a Gram-negative bacterium that lacks an E. coli-like SOS box but whose expression has been shown to be DNA damage-inducible and auto-regulated.     

The nifHDK genes are contiguous with a nifA-like regulatory gene in Rhodobacter capsulatus

Summary A 15.2 kb DNA fragment was isolated from Rhodobacter capsulatus (ex. Rhodopseudomonas capsulata), which was able to complement mutations both in a nifA-like regulatory gene and in the nifH gene. Physical mapping of this fragment revealed that the nifA-like gene was adjacent to, and downstream from, the nifHDK operon. Hybridization experiments were carried out using a cloned Klebsiella pneumoniae DNA fragment containing nifA and the flanking portions of nifB and nifL. This fragment failed to hybridize with a 2.15 kb HindIII fragment of R. capsulatus DNA containing the nifA-like gene, but hybridized instead with a 2.6 kb EcoRI fragment adjacent to the nifA-like gene. The homologous region was found to be located within the K. pneumoniae nifB gene. The adjacent 2.6 kb and 2.15 kb fragments also hybridized with each other, indicating the presence of repeated sequences in this region.     

Genetic characterization and sequence analysis of the duplicated nifA/nifB gene region of Rhodobacter capsulatus

Summary A DNA region showing homology to Klebsiella pneumoniae nifA and nifB is duplicated in Rhodobacter capsulatus. The two copies of this region are called nifA/nifB copy I and nifA/nifB copy II. Deletion mutagenesis demonstrated that either of the two copies is sufficient for growth in nitrogen-free medium. In contrast, a double deletion mutant turned out to be deficient in nitrogen fixation. The complete nucleotide sequence of a 4838 bp fragment containing nifA/nifB copy I was determined. Two open reading frames coding for a 59653 (NifA) and a 49453 (NifB) dalton protein could be detected. Comparison of the amino acid sequences revealed that the R. capsulatus nifA and nifB gene products are more closely related to the NifA and NifB proteins of Rhizobium meliloti and Rhizobium leguminosarum than to those of K. pneumoniae. A rho-independent termination signal and a typical nif promoter region containing a putative NifA binding site and a consensus nif promoter are located within the region between the R. capsulatus nifA and nifB genes. The nifB sequence is followed by an open reading frame (ORF1) coding for a 27721 dalton protein in nifA/nifB copy I. DNA sequence analysis of nifA/nifB copy II showed that both copies differ in the DNA region downstream of nifB and in the noncoding sequence in front of nifA. All other regions compared, i.e. the 5 part of nifA, the intergenic region and the 3 part of nifB, are identical in both copies.     

Genetic and physical mapping of an hydrogenase gene cluster from Rhodobacter capsulatus

Summary An hydrogenase-deficient (Hup^–) mutant of Rhodobacter capsulatus was obtained by adventitious insertion of IS21 DNA into an hydrogenase structural gene (hup) of the wild-type strain 1310. The resulting Hup^– mutant, strain JP91, selected by its inability to grow autotrophically (Aut^– phenotype) together with other Hup^– mutant strains obtained by classical ethyl methane sulphonate mutagenesis were used in R plasmid-mediated conjugation experiments to map the hup/aut loci on the chromosome of R. capsulatus. The hup genes tested in this study were found to cluster on the chromosome in the proximity of the his-1 marker. A cluster of hup genes comprising the structural genes was isolated from a gene bank constructed in the cosmid vector pHC79 with 40 kb insert DNA. The clustered hup genes, characterized by hybridization studies and complementation analyses of the R. capsulatus Hup^– mutants, span 15–20 kb of DNA.     

Substrate consumption rates for hydrogen production by Rhodobacter sphaeroides in a column photobioreactor

The effect of -malic acid and sodium glutamate, which serve as the carbon and nitrogen source, respectively, on hydrogen production by Rhodobacter sphaeroides O.U.001 has been investigated in a batch water jacketed glass column photobioreactor (PBR), which has an inner volume of 400 ml. The PBR was operated at different carbon to nitrogen ratios at 32°C with a tungsten lamp at a light intensity of 200 W m⁻². Carbon to nitrogen ratio was found to be an important parameter for bio-hydrogen production. Moreover, hydrogen gas production was dependent on certain threshold concentrations of sodium glutamate. -malic acid consumption was found to be first order with respect to -malic acid concentration, whereas sodium glutamate consumption was found to be second order with respect to glutamate concentration. It was concluded that there is a close relationship between the hydrogen production rate and substrate consumption rates. A kinetic model is developed, which relates hydrogen gas production per amount of biomass, -malic acid, and sodium glutamate concentrations.     

Spontaneous and reversible high-frequency frameshifts originating a phase transition in the carotenoid biosynthesis pathway of the phototrophic bacterium Rhodobacter sphaeroides 2.4.1

Summary The nucleotide sequence of the melB gene coding for the Na⁺(Li⁺)/melibiose symporter of Salmonella typhimurium LT2 was determined, and its amino acid sequence was deduced. It consists of 1428 bp, corresponding to a protein of 476 amino acid residues (calculated molecular weight 52800). The amino acid sequence is homologous to that of the melibiose permease of Escherichia coli K12, with 85% identical residues. All, except one, of the amino acid residues that have been reported to be important for cation or substrate recognition in the melibiose permease of E. coli are conserved in the melibiose permease of S. typhimurium. In addition, part of the sequence resembles the lactose permease of Streptococcus thermophilus, the animal glucose transporter (GLUT1), the plasmid-coded raffinose permease (RafB), and the NADH-ubiquinone oxidoreductase chain 4 (Nuo4) of Aspergillus amstelodami.The nucleotide sequence reported in this paper has been submitted to the DDBJ/GenBank/EMBL Data Bank with accession number X62101
