大肠杆菌ptsG基因敲除及其缺陷株生长特性研究

在大肠杆菌磷酸转移酶系统中,葡萄糖主要由ptsG基因编码的酶ⅡCB^Glc转运入细胞。利用代谢工程技术构建ptsG基因缺陷株,有望降低葡萄糖的摄取速率,减少乙酸累积,促进菌体生长。运用PCR技术,扩增出两翼与ptsG基因上下游序列同源,中间为氯霉素抗性基因的DNA片段。经电转化,将外源DNA片段分别转入Escherichia coli DH5α、JM109中。在Red重组酶的作用下,外源DNA片段与染色体上同源区域重组,将基因ptsG敲除,构建ptsG基因缺陷株DH5αP、JM109P。在LB培养基中,ptsG基因缺陷株的生长状况与亲株无明显差异。在含有葡萄糖的LB培养基中,DH5αP、JM109P的最高菌密度分别是对照菌株DH5α、JM109的3.47倍和4.25倍,ptsG基因缺陷株对葡萄糖的摄入量也明显高于对照菌株。重组蛋白肿瘤坏死因子（TNF）在DH5αP、JM109P中的表达量分别占全菌蛋白的24.3%、20.8%,A600分别为8.28、7.62,TNF在缺陷株中单位体积的表达量明显高于对照菌株。以上结果说明,大肠杆菌ptsG基因缺陷株具有良好的生长能力和表达外源蛋白的能力,在大肠杆菌高密度发酵研究方面具有良好的应用前景。

Emission of carbonyl sulfide by Thiobacillus thioparus grown with thiocyanate in pure and mixed cultures

Abstract The biological activity of the heat-stable enterotoxin of Vibrio cholerae non-O1 (NAG-ST) was found to be predominantly associated with the periplasmic extract (about four-fold higher than the culture supernatant) of a recombinant E. coli (JM109) strain carrying the NAG-St toxin gene. Four molecular species of NAG-ST, two each from the periplasmic extract and culture supernatant of JM109, were purified. Amino acid sequence analysis of the four NAG-ST peptides isolated by HPLC revealed that they all differed from that of the mature 17-amino acid residue NAG-ST released by V. cholerae non-O1. The M _r-values of the peptides obtained from the periplasmic extract were 4331 and 2785, while those recovered from the culture supernatant were 3154 and 2785. It thus appears that V. cholerae NAG-ST is synthesized as larger molecules in the recombinant E. coli strain. The differences in sizes of the exported NAG-ST molecule could relate to difference in the enzyme cleavage system between E. coli and V. cholerea .     

Cloning and expression of a nitroaryl reductase gene from Streptomyces aminophilus strain MCMB411 in E. coli JM109 and Streptomyces lividans TK64

A partial genomic library was prepared in E. coli JM109 using pBR322 as vector and 2.4 kb Sau 3A I chromosomal fragment, encoding a nitroaryl reductase (nbr A) gene, from Streptomyces aminophilus strain MCMB 411. From the library, 2.4 kb fragment was recloned in E. coli JM109 and S. lividans TK64 using pUC18 and pIJ702 as vectors respectively. The recombinant plasmids pSD103 and pSD105 expressed the reductase gene and exported the enzyme in periplasmic space of E. coli and in cytoplasm of S. lividans TK64. The proteins expressed by E. coli and S. lividans had the same molecular mass (70 kD) as that expressed by parent strain, which suggested that the enzyme was processed similarly by all strains. Activities of the enzymes cloned in E. coli JM109 and S. lividans TK64 containing recombinant plasmids pSD103 and pSD105 respectively were optimum at 30 degrees C and pH 9 and requirement of cofactors was same as that of the parent strain.

Cloning and overproduction of the rpoZ gene encoding an RNA polymerase omega subunit from a deep-sea piezophilic Shewanella violacea strain DSS12.

We have cloned the rpoZ gene, encoding RNA polymerase omega protein, by PCR approach from the deep-sea piezophilic and psychrophilic bacterium, Shewanella violacea strain DSS12. The cloned gene, 285bp in length, was found to encode a protein consisting of 94 amino acid residues with a molecular mass of 10,327 Da. Significant homology was evident comparing the RpoZ protein of S. violacea with that of Shewanella oneidensis (69% identity), Vibrio cholerae (65% identity), Escherichia coli K-12 (64% identity) and Haemophilus influenzae (61% identity). From the Northern blot analysis, S. violacea rpoZ gene was expressed constitutively under pressure conditions of 0.1, 30 and 50MPa. We constructed expression plasmid to overproduce the RpoZ protein and transformed into E. coli JM109 as a host of overproduction. Upon induction, the recombinant protein encoded by plasmid pQrpoZ was overexpressed and purified using Ni2+ affinity column.     

Molecular cloning and expression in Escherichia coli K-12 of the O101 rfb region from E. coli B41 (O101:K99/ F41) and the genetic relationship to other O101 rfb loci

The gene cluster (rfb region) which determines the synthesis of O101 lipopolysaccharide (LPS) O-antigen was cloned from the Escherichia coli O101:K99:F41 reference strain B41 to give plasmid pPM1301. The smallest subclones represented by pPM1305 and pPM1330 expressed O-antigen in E. coli K-12 similar to (but not identical to) B41, as judged by immunogold electron microscopy and silver staining of LPS separated by sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). At least six proteins were detected by minicell analysis of proteins encoded by pPM1305, which suggests that O-antigen synthesis is genetically complex. Restriction and deletion analysis demonstrated that a minimum of 8.9 kb and a maximum of 11.8 kb are required for O101 O-antigen biosynthesis in E. coli K-12. Examination of LPS banding patterns of other O101 isolates by SDS-PAGE suggested heterogeneity of LPS structure. Southern DNA hybridization analysis using radiolabelled subclones of pPM1305 demonstrated that there was close relationship among the O101 ETEC isolates.     

Effect of lipopolysaccharide core synthesis mutations on the production of Vibrio cholerae O-antigen in Escherixhia coli K-12

The rfb genes of Vibrio cholerae O1 (Ogawa serotype) were subcloned into a derivative of pBR322. This plasmid was transformed into several Escherichia coli K-12 mutant strains which produce an incomplete lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-core-oligosaccharide region. The data indicate that the V. cholerae O-antigen is assembled onto the E. coli LPS and that at least two glucoses are needed in the core in order to achieve a high level of production. These data are consistent with the reported presence of glucose in the V. cholerae LPS-core-oligosaccharide region.     

Vibrio cholerae O139 produces a protease which is indistinguishable from the haemagglutinin/protease of Vibrio cholerae O1 and non-O1

Abstract Haemaglutinin/protease (HA/P) is one of the virulence factors of Vibrio cholerae O1 and pathogenic strains of V. cholerae non-O1. In this study, we examined protease activity of a new serogroup of Vibrio cholerae recently designated as O139 synonym Bengal. The protease activity was produced by all eight isolates of V. cholerae O139 from Bangladeshi patients. Purification and partial characterization of the protease from V. cholerae O139 demonstrated the purified protease (O139-P) was indistinguishable from that previously reported for HA/P of V. cholerae non-O1 (NAG-HA/P) and V. cholerae O1 (Vc-HA/P). These results prove that V. cholerae O139 produces a protease belonging to solHA/P, and suggest that the protease is another virulence factor found in newly emerged V. cholerae O139, as in V. cholerae O1.     

Molecular cloning and characterization of mannitol-1-phosphate dehydrogenase from Vibrio cholerae

Vibrio cholerae utilizes mannitol through an operon of the phosphoenolpyruvate-dependent phosphotransferase (PTS) type. A gene, mtlD, encoding mannitol-1-phosphate dehydrogenase was identified within the 3.9 kb mannitol operon of V. cholerae. The mtlD gene was cloned from V. cholerae O395, and the recombinant enzyme was functionally expressed in E. coli as a 6×His-tagged protein and purified to homogeneity. The recombinant protein is a monomer with a molecular mass of 42.35 kDa. The purified recombinant MtlD reduced fructose 6-phosphate (F6P) using NADH as a cofactor with a K(m) of 1.54 +/- 0.1 mM and V(max) of 320.8 +/- 7.81 micronmol/min/mg protein. The pH and temperature optima for F6P reduction were determined to be 7.5 and 37°C, respectively. Using quantitative real-time PCR analysis, mtlD was found to be constitutively expressed in V. cholerae, but the expression was up-regulated when grown in the presence of mannitol. The MtlD expression levels were not significantly different between V. cholerae O1 and non-O1 strains.     

不同来源RNA聚合酶对霍乱弧菌分型噬菌体VP3启动子的作用

目的:研究不同来源的RNA聚合酶对预测的霍乱弧菌分型噬菌体VP3启动子的作用。方法:以含有预测的VP3启动子区的片段取代质粒pRL-null的T7启动子区,以海肾萤光素酶基因Rluc为报告基因,在霍乱弧菌N16961内检测霍乱弧菌RNA聚合酶对克隆的启动子区的作用;将上述重组质粒和表达VP3 RNA聚合酶的质粒共转化大肠杆菌JM109,检测大肠杆菌和VP3的RNA聚合酶对克隆的启动子区的作用。结果:N16961的RNA聚合酶不能识别并作用于启动子P1、P2、P5、P6、P10和P12,JM109的RNA聚合酶可能识别并作用于启动子P7和P11;只有P2、P7、P8、P9、P13、P16和P17在JM109内可以被克隆表达的VP3 RNA聚合酶识别转录。结论:宿主菌N16961与非宿主菌JM109的RNA聚合酶识别转录VP3启动子的能力不同,可能与噬菌体的宿主特异性有关;VP3的RNA聚合酶对大部分有活性的VP3启动子具有直接启动转录作用,但部分启动子可能需要VP3或宿主蛋白的辅助作用才能表现出更强的活性;VP3启动子对VP3 RNA聚合酶的特异性也不同,P1、P2和P12对VP3的RNA聚合酶具有高度特异性,P7和P11的特异性较弱。
