Incorporation of nisI-mediated nisin immunity improves vector-based nisin-controlled gene expression in lactic acid bacteria 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) have been used successfully to express a wide variety of recombinant proteins, ranging from flavor-active proteins to antibiotic peptides and oral vaccines. The nisin-controlled expression (NICE) system is the most prevalent of the systems for production of heterologous proteins in LAB. Previous optimization of the NICE system has revealed a strong limit on the concentration of the inducer nisin that can be tolerated by the culture of host cells. In this work, the nisin immunity gene, nisI, has been inserted into the recently reported pMSP3535H2 vector that contains the complete NICE system on a high-copy Escherichia coli-LAB shuttle vector. Fed-batch fermentation data show that Lactococcus lactis IL1403 cells transformed with the new vector, pMSP3535H3, tolerate a 5-fold increase in the concentration of the inducer nisin, and, at this elevated concentration, produce a 1.8-fold increased level of green fluorescent protein (GFP), a model recombinant protein. Therefore, the incorporation of nisI in the pMSP3535H3 NICE system described here unveils new ranges of induction parameters to be studied in the course of optimizing recombinant protein expression in LAB. 相似文献

A transferable dual-plasmid inducible gene expression system for use in lactic acid bacteria that is based on the autoregulatory properties of the antimicrobial peptide nisin produced by Lactococcus lactis was developed. Introduction of the two plasmids allowed nisin-inducible gene expression in Lactococcus lactis MG1363, Leuconostoc lactis NZ6091, and Lactobacillus helveticus CNRZ32. Typically, the beta-glucuronidase activity (used as a reporter in this study) remained below the detection limits under noninducing conditions and could be raised to high levels, by addition of subinhibitory amounts of nisin to the growth medium, while exhibiting a linear dose-response relationship. These results demonstrate that the nisin-inducible system can be functionally implemented in lactic acid bacteria other than Lactococcus lactis. 相似文献

The potential of lactic acid bacteria as live vehicles for the production and delivery of therapeutic molecules is being actively investigated today. For future applications it is essential to be able to establish dose-response curves for the targeted biological effect and thus to control the production of a heterologous biopeptide by a live lactobacillus. We therefore implemented in Lactobacillus plantarum NCIMB8826 the powerful nisin-controlled expression (NICE) system based on the autoregulatory properties of the bacteriocin nisin, which is produced by Lactococcus lactis. The original two-plasmid NICE system turned out to be poorly suited to L. plantarum. In order to obtain a stable and reproducible nisin dose-dependent synthesis of a reporter protein (beta-glucuronidase) or a model antigen (the C subunit of the tetanus toxin, TTFC), the lactococcal nisRK regulatory genes were integrated into the chromosome of L. plantarum NCIMB8826. Moreover, recombinant L. plantarum producing increasing amounts of TTFC was used to establish a dose-response curve after subcutaneous administration to mice. The induced serum immunoglobulin G response was correlated with the dose of antigen delivered by the live lactobacilli. 相似文献

A food-grade cloning vector for lactic acid bacteria based on the nisin immunity gene nisI 总被引:15,自引:0,他引:15
A new food-grade cloning vector for lactic acid bacteria was constructed using the nisin immunity gene nisI as a selection marker. The food-grade plasmid, pLEB590, was constructed entirely of lactococcal DNA: the pSH71 replicon,
the nisI gene, and the constitutive promoter P45 for nisI expression. Electroporation into Lactococcus lactis MG1614 with 60 international units (IU) nisin/ml selection yielded approximately 105 transformants/μg DNA. MG1614 carrying pLEB590 was shown to be able to grow in medium containing a maximum of 250 IU nisin/ml.
Plasmid pLEB590 was succesfully transformed into an industrial L. lactis cheese starter carrying multiple cryptic plasmids. Suitability for molecular cloning was confirmed by cloning and expressing
the proline iminopeptidase gene pepI from Lactobacillus helveticus in L. lactis and Lb. plantarum. These results show that the food-grade expression system reported in this paper has potential for expression of foreign
genes in lactic acid bacteria in order to construct improved starter bacteria for food applications.

10 years of the nisin-controlled gene expression system (NICE) in Lactococcus lactis 总被引:11,自引:0,他引:11
Lactococcus lactis is a Gram-positive lactic acid bacterium that, in addition to its traditional use in food fermentations, is increasingly
used in modern biotechnological applications. In the last 25 years great progress has been made in the development of genetic
engineering tools and the molecular characterization of this species. A new versatile and tightly controlled gene expression
system, based on the auto-regulation mechanism of the bacteriocin nisin, was developed 10 years ago—the NIsin Controlled gene
Expression system, called NICE. This system has become one of the most successful and widely used tools for regulated gene
expression in Gram-positive bacteria. The review describes, after a brief introduction of the host bacterium L. lactis, the fundaments, components and function of the NICE system. Furthermore, an extensive overview is provided of the different
applications in lactococci and other Gram-positive bacteria: (1) over-expression of homologous and heterologous genes for
functional studies and to obtain large quantities of specific gene products, (2) metabolic engineering, (3) expression of
prokaryotic and eukaryotic membrane proteins, (4) protein secretion and anchoring in the cell envelope, (5) expression of
genes with toxic products and analysis of essential genes and (6) large-scale applications. Finally, an overview is given
of growth and induction conditions for lab-scale and industrial-scale applications. 相似文献

Construction and characterization of nisin-controlled expression vectors for use in Lactobacillus reuteri 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The Nisin-controlled gene expression (NICE) system, which was discovered in Lactococcus lactis, was adapted to Lactobacillus reuteri by ligating nisA promoter (PnisA) and nisRK DNA fragments into the Escherichia coli-Lb. reuteri shuttle vector pSTE32. This chimerical plasmid (pNICE) was capable of expressing the heterologous amylase gene (amyL) under nisin induction. Optimization of induction factors for this Lb. reuteri/pNICE system, including nisin concentration (viz. 50 ng/ml), growth phase of culture at which nisin be added (viz. at the early exponential phase), and the best time for analyzing the gene product after inoculation (viz. at the 3rd h), allowed the amylase product to be expressed in high amounts, constituting up to about 18% of the total intracellular protein. Furthermore, the signal peptide (SP) of amyL gene (SPamyL) from Bacillus licheniformis was ligated to the downstream of PnisA in pNICE, upgrading this vector to a NICE-secretion (NIES) level, which was then designated pNIES (Sec+, secretion positive). Characterization of pNIES using an amyL-SPDelta gene (amyL gene lacking its SP) as a reporter revealed the 3rd h after induction as the secretion peak of this system, at which the secretion efficiency and the amount of alpha-amylase being secreted into the culture supernatant were estimated to reach 77.6% and 27.75 mg/l. Expression and secretion of AmyL products by pNIES in Lb. reuteri was also confirmed by SDS-PAGE and immunoblotting analysis. 相似文献

A specific method to identify nisin-producing strains was developed based on Nisin-Controlled gene Expression (NICE) vector
pSec:Nuc. The plasmid pSec:Nuc was transformed into non-nisin-producing strain Lactococcus lactis NZ9000, a host commonly used for the NICE system. The generating strain L. lactis NZ9000/pSec:Nuc could sense extracellular inducer nisin and efficiently secrete a reporter protein Nuc, the staphylococcal
nuclease (Nuc) into the medium. Instead of using purified nisin, the culture supernatants of nisin-producing strains were
also used as inducers. Therefore, the NICE system could be used to identify nisin-producing strains. With this principle,
4 among 56 lactococci strains isolated from raw milk were identified as nisin producers. The results were further confirmed
by polymerase chain reaction amplification with their genomic DNA as templates, and nucleotide sequencing revealed that three
of them produced nisin A, and the others produced nisin Z. Those results made it possible to isolate and identify nisin-producing
strains specifically and rapidly using NICE system. 相似文献

Background
The nisin-controlled gene expression system NICE of Lactococcus lactis is one of the most widely used expression systems in Gram-positive bacteria. Despite its widespread use, no optimization of the culture conditions and nisin induction has been carried out to obtain maximum yields. As a model system induced production of lysostaphin, an antibacterial protein (mainly against Staphylococcus aureus) produced by S. simulans biovar. Staphylolyticus, was used. Three main areas need optimization for maximum yields: cell density, nisin-controlled induction and protein production, and parameters specific for the target-protein. 相似文献13.

Potential use of Lactococcus lactis (L. lactis) as a heterologous protein expression host as well as for delivery of multiple therapeutic proteins has been investigated extensively using Nisin Inducible Controlled Expression (NICE) system. Optimum inducible expression of heterologous protein by NICE system in L. lactis depends on multiple factors. To study the unexplored role of factors affecting heterologous protein expression in L. lactis using NICE, the present study outlines the optimization of various key parameters such as inducer concentration, host’s proteases and precipitating agent using Outer membrane protein A (OmpA). For efficient expression and secretion of OmpA, pSEC:OmpA vector was successfully constructed. To circumvent the troubles encountered during detection of expressed OmpA, the precipitating agent was switched from TCA to methanol. Nevertheless, detection was achieved accompanied by degraded protein products. Speculating the accountability of observed degradation at higher inducer concentration, different nisin concentrations were evaluated. Lower nisin concentrations were found desirable for optimum expression of OmpA. Consistently observed degradation was eliminated by incorporation of protease inhibitor cocktail which inhibits intracellular proteases and expression in VEL1153 (NZ9000 ΔhtrA) strain which inhibits extracellular protease leading to optimum expression of OmpA. Versatility and complexity of NICE system in L. lactis requires fine-tuning of target protein specific parameters for optimum expression.

Fluorescent proteins are useful reporter molecules for a variety of biological systems. We present an alternative strategy for cloning reporter genes that are regulated by the nisin-controlled gene expression (NICE) system. Lactoccocus lactis was genetically engineered to express green fluorescent protein (GFP), mCherry or near-infrared fluorescent protein (iRFP). The reporter gene sequences were optimized to be expressed by L. lactis using inducible promoter pNis within the pNZ8048 vector. Expression of constructions that carry mCherry or GFP was observed by fluorescence microscopy 2 h after induction with nisin. Expression of iRFP was evaluated at 700 nm using an infrared scanner; cultures induced for 6 h showed greater iRFP expression than non-induced cultures or those expressing GFP. We demonstrated that L. lactis can express efficiently GFP, mCherry and iRFP fluorescent proteins using an inducible expression system. These strains will be useful for live cell imaging studies in vitro or for imaging studies in vivo in the case of iRFP. 相似文献

Aggregation substance proteins encoded by the sex pheromone plasmid family of Enterococcus faecalis have been shown previously to contribute to the formation of a stable mating complex between donor and recipient cells and have been implicated in the virulence of this increasingly important nosocomial pathogen. In an effort to characterize the protein further, prgB, the gene encoding the aggregation substance Asc10 on pCF10, was cloned in a vector containing the nisin-inducible nisA promoter and its two-component regulatory system. Expression of aggregation substance after nisin addition to cultures of E. faecalis and the heterologous bacteria Lactococcus lactis and Streptococcus gordonii was demonstrated. Electron microscopy revealed that Asc10 was presented on the cell surfaces of E. faecalis and L. lactis but not on that of S. gordonii. The protein was also found in the cell culture supernatants of all three species. Characterization of Asc10 on the cell surfaces of E. faecalis and L. lactis revealed a significant increase in cell surface hydrophobicity upon expression of the protein. Heterologous expression of Asc10 on L. lactis also allowed the recognition of its binding ligand (EBS) on the enterococcal cell surface, as indicated by increased transfer of a conjugative transposon. We also found that adhesion of Asc10-expressing bacterial cells to fibrin was elevated, consistent with a role for the protein in the pathogenesis of enterococcal endocarditis. The data demonstrate that Asc10 expressed under the control of the nisA promoter in heterologous species will be an useful tool in the detailed characterization of this important enterococcal conjugation protein and virulence factor. 相似文献

Genes involved in immunity to the lantibiotic nisin produced by Lactococcus lactis 6F3. 总被引:10,自引:3,他引:7

The lantibiotic nisin is produced by several strains of Lactococcus lactis. The complete gene cluster for nisin biosynthesis in L. lactis 6F3 comprises 15 kb of DNA. As described previously, the structural gene nisA is followed by the genes nisB, nisT, nisC, nisI, nisP, nisR, and nisK. Further analysis revealed three additional open reading frames, nisF, nisE, and nisG, adjacent to nisK. Approximately 1 kb downstream of the nisG gene, three open reading frames in the opposite orientation have been identified. One of the reading frames, sacR, belongs to the sucrose operon, indicating that all genes belonging to the nisin gene cluster of L. lactis 6F3 have now been identified. Proteins NisF and NisE show strong homology to members of the family of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters, and nisG encodes a hydrophobic protein which might act similarly to the immunity proteins described for several colicins. Gene disruption mutants carrying mutations in the genes nisF, nisE, and nisG were still able to produce nisin. However, in comparison with the wild-type strain, these mutants were more sensitive to nisin. This indicates that besides nisI the newly identified genes are also involved in immunity to nisin. The NisF-NisE ABC transporter is homologous to an ABC transporter of Bacillus subtilis and the MbcF-MbcE transporter of Escherichia coli, which are involved in immunity to subtilin and microcin B17, respectively. 相似文献

The use of Gram-positive bacteria for heterologous protein production proves to be a useful choice due to easy protein secretion and purification. The lactic acid bacterium Lactococcus lactis emerges as an attractive alternative to the Gram-positive model Bacillus subtilis. Here, we review recent work on the expression and secretion systems available for heterologous protein secretion in L. lactis, including promoters, signal peptides and mutant host strains known to overcome some bottlenecks of the process. Among the tools developed in our laboratory, inactivation of HtrA, the unique housekeeping protease at the cell surface, or complementation of the Sec machinery with B. subtilis SecDF accessory protein each result in the increase in heterologous protein yield. Furthermore, our lactococcal expression/secretion system, using both P(Zn)zitR, an expression cassette tightly controlled by environmental zinc, and a consensus signal peptide, SP(Exp4), allows efficient production and secretion of the staphylococcal nuclease, as evidenced by protein yields (protein amount/biomass) comparable to those obtained using NICE or P170 expression systems under similar laboratory conditions. Finally, the toolbox we are developing should contribute to enlarge the use of L. lactis as a protein cell factory. 相似文献
