Cloning and characterization of penicillin V acylase from Streptomyces mobaraensis

We report on the molecular cloning and characterization of penicillin V acylase (PVA) from an actinomycete, Streptomyces mobaraensis (Sm-PVA), which was originally isolated as an acylase that efficiently hydrolyzes the amide bond of various N-fatty-acyl-l-amino acids and N-fatty-acyl-peptides as well as capsaicin (8-methyl-N-vanillyl-6-nonenamide). In addition, the purified Sm-PVA hydrolyzed penicillin V with the highest activity (k(cat)) among the PVAs so far reported, penicillin G, and 2-nitro-5-phenoxyacetamide benzoic acid. The BLAST search revealed that the Sm-PVA precursor is composed of a polypeptide that is characteristic of enzymes belonging to the beta-lactam acylase family with four distinct segments; a signal sequence (43 amino acids), an alpha subunit (173 amino acids), a linker peptide (28 amino acids), and a beta subunit (570 amino acids). The mature, active Sm-PVA is a heterodimeric protein with alpha and beta subunits, in contrast to PVAs isolated from Bacillus sphaericus and B. subtilis, which have a homotetrameric structure. The amino acid sequence of Sm-PVA showed identities to PVA from S. lavendulae, N-acylhomoserine lactone-degrading acylase from Streptomyces sp., cyclic lipopeptide acylase from Streptomyces sp., and aculeacin A acylase from Actinoplanes utahensis with 68, 67, 67, and 41% identities, respectively.

A novel 7-β-(4-carboxybutanamido)-cephalosporanic acid acylase isolated from Pseudomonas strain C427 and its high-level production in Escherichia coli

We cloned the gene for 7-β-(4-carboxybutanamido)-cephalosporanic acid (GL-7ACA) acylase from Pseudomonas strain C427. The DNA sequence revealed an open reading frame of 2154 bp coding for 718 amino acid residues. The deduced amino acid sequence consists of 4 structural domains: (i) a signal peptide (positions 1–27), (ii) a small subunit of the acylase (positions 28–190), designated as α, (iii) a spacer peptide (positions 191–198), (iv) a large subunit (positions 199–718), designated as β. Plasmids were constructed to direct the synthesis of the acylase in Escherichia coli and the following results were obtained. The active acylase consists of two subunits which are processed from a single precursor protein, removing the spacer peptide during processing. A proportion of active acylase is secreted into the periplasm and the remainder is retained in the cytoplasm. The amount of precursor protein accumulated in the cytoplasm is greatly reduced when plasmids for the acylase lacking the signal sequence are expressed. Therefore, processing is independent of the translocation of the gene product through the cytoplasmic membrane, in contrast to the situation for penicillin G acylase. A high level of active enzyme production was achieved with a plasmid coding for an acylase in which the amino terminal sequence (positions 1–32) of native acylase is replaced by MFPTT.     

Inhibition of acid production in Streptococcus mutans R9: Inhibition constants and reversibility

Abstract The pac gene encoding the penicillin G acylase (PGA) of Bacillus megaterium ATCC 14945 has been cloned in Escherichia coli HB101 ( proA, leuB ) using a selective minimal medium containing phenylacetyl-L-leucine instead of L-leucine. The nucleotide sequence of this gene has been determined and contains an open reading frame of 2406 nucleotides. The deduced amino acid sequence shows significant similarity with other β-lactam acylases. Although the PGA of B. megaterium is extracellular, the enzyme produced in E. coli appears to have a cytoplasmic localization.     

High expression of the penicillin G acylase gene (pac) from Bacillus megaterium UN1 in its own pac minus mutant

By marker exchange mutagenesis, Bacillus megaterium strain UN-1 (Bm-UN1) was used to prepare a mutant strain B. megaterium UN-cat (Bm-UNcat) lacking the penicillin G acylase gene (pac). The pac gene from Bm-UN1 was subcloned into pTF6 and the resultant plasmid, pBA402, was introduced into Bm-UNcat and Bacillus subtilis. Bm-UNcat harbouring pBA402 produced high penicillin G acylase (PAC) activity of 13.7, 19.5 and 20.4 U ml(-1) at 24, 36 and 48 h of culture, respectively. This was two- to fivefold higher than PAC produced by B. subtilis harbouring pBA402 and about 20-fold higher than PAC produced by the parent strain, Bm-UN1.     

Reconstitution in vivo of penicillin G acylase activity from separately expressed subunits.

Penicillin G acylase from Escherichia coli ATCC11105 is synthesized as a precursor polypeptide with a signal sequence for secretion into the periplasm and an endopeptide separating two subunit domains. Proteolytic processing leads to mature, heterodimeric penicillin G acylase. We have shown that the alpha- and beta-subunits of the enzyme, which have no detectable enzymatic activity on their own, can reconstitute enzyme activity when their genes are put into an E. coli host on separate plasmids. Activity is reconstituted in the cytoplasm whereas normally processing and formation of the active heterodimer occurs in the periplasm. Enzyme activity can reach levels close to wild type in the strain used. The activity recovered from a combination of alpha-subunit linked to a 54-amino-acid endopeptide and beta-subunit was lower than with the subunits alone.     

Molecular cloning and analysis of the gene encoding the thermostable penicillin G acylase from Alcaligenes faecalis.

Alcaligenes faecalis penicillin G acylase is more stable than the Escherichia coli enzyme. The activity of the A. faecalis enzyme was not affected by incubation at 50 degrees C for 20 min, whereas more than 50% of the E. coli enzyme was irreversibly inactivated by the same treatment. To study the molecular basis of this higher stability, the A. faecalis enzyme was isolated and its gene was cloned and sequenced. The gene encodes a polypeptide that is characteristic of periplasmic penicillin G acylase (signal peptide-alpha subunit-spacer-beta subunit). Purification, N-terminal amino acid analysis, and molecular mass determination of the penicillin G acylase showed that the alpha and beta subunits have molecular masses of 23.0 and 62.7 kDa, respectively. The length of the spacer is 37 amino acids. Amino acid sequence alignment demonstrated significant homology with the penicillin G acylase from E. coli A unique feature of the A. faecalis enzyme is the presence of two cysteines that form a disulfide bridge. The stability of the A. faecalis penicillin G acylase, but not that of the E. coli enzyme, which has no cysteines, was decreased by a reductant. Thus, the improved thermostability is attributed to the presence of the disulfide bridge.     

Binding of phage displayed Bacillus subtilis lipase A to a phosphonate suicide inhibitor

Phage display can be used as a protein engineering tool to select proteins with desirable binding properties from a library of randomly constructed mutants. Here, we describe the development of this method for the directed evolution of Bacillus subtilis lipase A, an enzyme that has marked properties for the preparation of pharmaceutically relevant chiral compounds. The lipase gene was cloned upstream of the phage g3p encoding sequence and downstream of a modified g3p signal sequence. Consequently, the enzyme was displayed at the surface of bacteriophage fd as a fusion to its minor coat protein g3p. The phage-bound lipase was correctly folded and fully enzymatically active as determined from the hydrolysis of p-nitrophenylcaprylate with K(m)-values of 0.38 and 0.33 mM for the phage displayed and soluble lipase, respectively. Both soluble lipase and lipase expressed on bacteriophages reacted covalently with a phosphonate suicide inhibitor. The phage does not hamper lipase binding, since both soluble and phage-bound lipase have a similar half-life of inactivation of approximately 5 min. Therefore, we conclude that the Bacillus lipase can be functionally expressed on bacteriophages as a fusion to the phage coat protein g3p. The specific interaction with the suicide inhibitor offers a fast and reproducible method for the future selection of mutant enzymes with an enantioselectivity towards new substrates.
