Improved growth and viability of lactobacilli in the presence of Bacillus subtilis (natto), catalase, or subtilisin 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
In an effort to demonstrate the potential usefulness of Bacillus subtilis (natto) as a probiotic, we examined the effect of this organism on the growth of three strains of lactobacilli co-cultured aerobically in vitro. Addition of B. subtilis (natto) to the culture medium resulted in an increase in the number of viable cells of all lactobacilli tested. Since B. subtilis (natto) can produce catalase, which has been reported to exhibit a similar growth-promoting effect on lactobacilli, we also examined the effect of bovine catalase on the growth of Lactobacillus reuteri JCM 1112 and L. acidophilus JCM 1132. Both catalase and B. subtilis (natto) enhanced the growth of L. reuteri JCM 1112, whereas B. subtilis (natto) but not catalase enhanced the growth of L. acidophilus JCM 1132. In a medium containing 0.1 mM hydrogen peroxide, its toxic effect on L. reuteri JCM 1112 was abolished by catalase or B. subtilis (natto). In addition, a serine protease from B. licheniformis, subtilisin, improved the growth and viability of L. reuteri JCM 1112 and L. acidophilus JCM 1132 in the absence of hydrogen peroxide. These results indicate that B. subtilis (natto) enhances the growth and (or) viability of lactobacilli, possibly through production of catalase and subtilisin. 相似文献

The precursor of Bacillus subtilis alpha-amylase contains an NH2-terminal extension of 41 amino acid residues as the signal sequence. The E. coli beta-lactamase structural gene was fused with the DNA for the promoter and signal sequence regions. Activity of beta-lactamase was expressed and more than 95% of the activity was secreted into the culture medium. DNA fragments coding for short signal sequences 28, 31, and 33 amino acids from the initiator Met were prepared and fused with the beta-lactamase structural gene. The sequences of 31 and 33 amino acid residues with Ala COOH-terminal amino acid were able to secrete active beta-lactamase from B. subtilis cells. However beta-lactamase was not secreted into the culture medium by the shorter signal sequence of 28 amino acid residues, which was not cleaved. Molecular weight analysis of the extracellular and cell-bound beta-lactamase suggested that the signal peptide of B. subtilis alpha-amylase was the first 31 amino acids from the initiator Met. The significance of these results was discussed in relation to the predicted secondary structure of the signal sequences. 相似文献

Molecular cloning of alpha-amylase gene from Bacillus amyloliquefaciens and its expression in B. subtilis 总被引:13,自引:0,他引:13
The gene coding for alpha-amylase from Bacillus amyloliquefaciens was isolated by direct shotgun cloning using B. subtilis as a host. The genome of B. amyloliquefaciens was partially digested with the restriction endonuclease MboI and 2- to 5-kb fragments were isolated and joined to plasmid pUB110. Competent B. subtilis amylase-negative cells were transformed with the hybrid plasmids and kanamycin-resistant transformants were screened for the production of alpha-amylase. One of the transformants producing high amounts of alpha-amylase was characterized further. The alpha-amylase gene was shown to be present in a 2.3-kb insert. The alpha-amylase production of the transformed B. subtilis could be prevented by inserting lambda DNA fragments into unique sites of EcoRI, HindIII and KpnI in the insert. Foreign DNA inserted into a unique ClaI site failed to affect the alpha-amylase production. The amount of alpha-amylase activity produced by this transformed B. subtilis was about 2500-fold higher than that for the wild-type B. subtilis Marburg strain, and about 5 times higher than the activity produced by the donor B. amyloliquefaciens strain. Virtually all of the alpha-amylase was secreted into the culture medium. The secreted alpha-amylase was shown to be indistinguishable from that of B. amyloliquefaciens as based on immunological and biochemical criteria. 相似文献

Several mutants of Bacillus subtilis deficient in catalase synthesis generated by nitrosoguanidine mutagenesis have been used to map a locus affecting catalase activity. Two- and three-factor bacteriophage PBS1 transductional crosses were used to locate the locus, named katA, between recH and thiA with 98% linkage to thiA at 70 degrees on the B. subtilis genome. The synthesis of catalase 1, found only in vegetative cells, was affected by katA. 相似文献

Slime secreted by microplasmodia of the myxomycete Physarum flavicomum inhibited the uptake of glucose and amino acids, as well as growth and cell division of the bacterium Bacillus subtilis. Morphological changes such as production of chains, swollen cells, and/or cell lysis, occurred coincident with these physiological inhibitory events. These phenomena were all dependent on the concentration of slime present in the growth medium. Electron microscopy revealed that the cell walls of slime-inhibited cells were undergoing degradation and the process was most pronounced in the swollen cells. Isolated cell walls of B. subtilis were also found to undergo degradation upon incubation with slime. Boiled slime did not exhibit lytic activity on native cell walls, but boiled cell walls were degraded by native slime. The inhibitory effect of slime seemed to be, at least in part, due to an inherent peptidase (protease) activity. B. subtilis eventually overcomes the inhibition exhibited by slime due to the production of an antagonist of slime. 相似文献

Vegetative cells of Bacillus subtilis in logarithmic growth phase produced one catalase, labeled catalase 1, with a nondenatured molecular weight of 205,000. As growth progressed, other activity bands with slower electrophoretic mobilities on polyacrylamide gels appeared, including a series of bands with a common nondenatured molecular weight of 261,000, collectively labeled catalase 2, and a minor band, with a molecular weight of 387,000, labeled catalase 3. Purified spores contained only catalase 2, and it was not produced in spo0A- or spo0F-containing mutants. Strains deficient in catalase 1 or catalase 2 or both were selected after mutagenesis. Sensitivities of the two main catalases to NaCN, NaN3, hydroxylamine, and temperature were similar, but the apparent Kms for H2O2 differed, being 36.6 and 64.4 mM, respectively, for catalase 1 and catalase 2. The levels of catalase 1 increased 15-fold during growth into stationary phase and could be increased 30-fold by the addition of H2O2 to the medium. Catalase 2, which was not affected by H2O2, appeared only after the cells had reached stationary phase, and the maximum levels were only half of the basal level of catalase 1. 相似文献

The Gram-positive bacterium Bacillus subtilis is well-known for its huge capacity to produce secreted bacterial enzymes. Nevertheless, the secretion of pharmaceutically interesting recombinant proteins by this organism is frequently inefficient. This paper documents for the first time on the optimisation of B. subtilis for the production of human interleukin-3 (hIL-3), a four-helix bundle cytokine, which stimulates the proliferation and differentiation of a broad range of blood cells. By developing a host-vector system on the basis of the multiple protease-deficient B. subtilis strain WB700 and a multicopy plasmid containing two tandemly positioned strong promoters plus an efficient signal sequence, the hIL-3 protein was efficiently produced and secreted into the growth medium. As verified by SDS-PAGE, mass spectrometry and cross-linking experiments with a thiol-specific reagent, intact and properly folded hIL-3 was purified from the B. subtilis growth medium. Bioactivity tests showed that the isolated hIL-3 was able to specifically induce proliferation of the hIL-3-dependent leukaemia cell line MO7e. Using the eight-fold protease-deficient strain WB800 the hIL-3 accumulation in the growth medium was increased to levels up to 100 mg l(-1). 相似文献

Both the secretion and the cell surface display of Bacillus subtilis lipase A (Lip A) in Saccharomyces cerevisiae was investigated using different domains of the cell wall protein Pir4 as translational fusion partners. LipA gene minus its leader peptide was fused inframe in two places of PIR4 to achieve cell wall targeting, or substituting most of the PIR4 sequence, after the signal peptide and the Kex2 processed subunit I of Pir4 to achieve secretion to the growth medium. Expression of the recombinant fusion proteins was investigated in a standard and a glycosylation-deficient strain of S. cerevisiae, grown in selective or rich medium. Fusion proteins intended to be retained at the cell wall were secreted to the growth medium, most likely as result of the degradation of the Pir4 moiety containing the cell wall retention domain, giving low levels of lipase activity. However, the fusion intended for secretion was efficiently secreted in a percentage of close to 90% and remained stable even in rich medium at high cell density cultures, yielding values of over 400 IU of lipase activity per milliliter of cell supernatant. This is, to our knowledge, the first report of the efficient production, as a secreted protein, of lipase A of B. subtilis in baker's yeast. 相似文献

The resistance of secreted cysteine cathepsins to peroxide inactivation was evaluated using as model THP-1 cells. Differentiated cells released mostly cathepsin B, but also cathepsins H, K, and L, with a maximum of endopeptidase activity at day 6. Addition of non-cytotoxic concentrations of H(2)O(2) did not affect mRNA expression levels and activity of cathepsins, while the catalase activity remained also unchanged, consistently with RT-PCR analysis. Conversely inhibition of extracellular catalase led to a striking inactivation of secreted cysteine cathepsins by H(2)O(2). This report suggests that catalase may participate in the protection of extracellular cysteine proteases against peroxidation. 相似文献

Secretion and processing of the Bacillus subtilis endo-β-1,3-1,4-glucanase in Escherichia coli 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4

The endo-beta-1,3-1,4-glucanase enzyme of Bacillus subtilis C120, when synthesized in Escherichia coli, is located mainly in the cytoplasm, but enzyme activity is also detected in the periplasmic space and in the extracellular medium. The proportion recovered in the extracellular medium is not altered by changes in the levels of synthesis of the enzyme. Lysis of E. coli cells is ruled out as the cause of the secretion by the normal localization of beta-galactosidase, an intracellular protein. However, beta-lactamase, which is normally found in the periplasmic space, is detected in the extracellular medium of E. coli transformants containing beta-glucanase plasmids, suggesting that the presence of beta-glucanase in the cell alters the permeability of the outer membrane. The beta-glucanase proteins found in the extracellular medium, the periplasmic space and the cytoplasm have the same electrophoretic mobilities as the secreted enzyme of B. subtilis. Amino-terminal sequencing has shown that the beta-glucanase enzyme in the intracellular fraction of E. coli is processed at a site two amino acids distant from the processing site used in B. subtilis. 相似文献

Pretreatment of Bacillus subtilis with low concentrations of hydrogen peroxide protected the cells against the lethal effects of higher levels of oxidative stress. During the period of adaptation, eight proteins were induced, as detected by one-dimensional gel electrophoresis. Four of these proteins were the same size as four of the proteins induced by the temperature upshift. The range of proteins synthesized in response to an elevation in temperature depended both on the starting (lower) temperature and on the temperature to which the cells were shifted. Both catalase and superoxide dismutase were present at high levels in B. subtilis, but neither was induced by oxidative stress or temperature upshift. In fact, catalase activity was reduced after the temperature upshift. 相似文献

The staphylococcal nuclease (nuc) gene from Staphylococcus aureus has been cloned and expressed in Bacillus subtilis. The nuclease protein was expressed either from its own promoter and translation start signals, or from a combination of a B. subtilis promoter, ribosome binding site, and a signal peptide sequence. Greater than 80% of the active gene product was secreted into the medium, whereas, when a signal peptide sequence was absent, as little as 4% of the nuclease activity was found in the culture medium. Intracellular (or cell-bound) nuclease, as determined by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and Western blotting, was shown to have the molecular weight of the predicted precursor protein with the signal peptide. Levels of nuclease reached 50 mg per liter in the culture medium, depending on the growth medium and the strain used. These findings indicate the prospective use of nuclease as a model system for studying secretion of heterologous proteins in B. subtilis. 相似文献

Reactive oxygen species scavenging enzymes like catalase play diverse role in mammals. The presence of catalase in mammalian ovary is now well established. In the present investigation, changes in catalase activity in granulosa cells isolated from follicles at various stages of differentiation in response to FSH were studied. The follicles were dissected out from goat ovaries and classified as small (<3 mm), medium (3–6 mm) or large (>6 mm). Granulosa cells were isolated from categorized follicles. Results showed that there was a three-fold increase in catalase activity in granulosa cells from large follicles as compared to small and medium follicles. The catalase activity was stimulated significantly when granulosa cells were treated with FSH in vitro. The minimum effective dose that could stimulate catalase activity and estradiol secretion in case of granulosa cells from small and medium sized follicles was 100 ng/ml; for larger follicles, this value was 200 ng/ml. Concomitant to the increase in catalase activity, the estradiol secretion was significantly enhanced when cultured goat granulosa cells were treated with FSH. It was concluded that enzyme catalase may have a functional role in goat ovarian follicular development under endocrine regulation. 相似文献

Bacillus subtilis YkvV protein, an extracellular thioredoxin superfamily protein, was successfully expressed both in Brevibacillus choshinensis culture medium using an efficient promoter and the secretion signal of its surface layer protein, and in Escherichia coli cytoplasm with the amino-terminal His-tag (His-YkvV). His-YkvV was purified to homogeneity by Ni-NTA column. Both secreted YkvV and purified His-YkvV exhibited thiol-disulfide oxidoreductase activity. 相似文献
