Osmotic shock and lysozyme/EDTA methods were used to recover secreted recombinant proteins from protease negative mutant strains of E. coli. Up to 80% of protein A--lactamase fusion protein was recovered from protease negative mutants by simple osmotic shock. Fractionation by lysozyme/EDTA treatment, increased the recovery of protein A--lactamase fusion protein from the mutant strain up to 93%. Mild fractionation condition allowed efficient recovery of secreted protein from protease negative mutant strains, but not from the parent strain possessing proteases. © Rapid Science Ltd. 1998 相似文献

A high level of extracellular -lactamase activity was detected in cultures ofMycobacterium smegmatis SN2. The extracellular distribution of the enzyme varied with growth conditions such as additional carbon source and pH of the medium. Addition of chloramphenicol tothe culture inhibited the increase in the extracellular -lactamase activity. Cell wall damage or autolysis may be responsible for the extracellular -lactamase activity. 相似文献

Summary Cells of a -lactamase producingE. coli strain were immobilized with acrylamide and lyophilized. The gel particles containing the entrapped cells were used like an immobilized enzyme to study the inactivation of -lactam antibiotics. The substrate profile of the -lactamase was determined and the action of -lactamase inhibitors studied. 相似文献

Summary The effect of glycine supplement to growth media on protein expression and release in a recombinant strain RR1 of E. coli was investigated. Addition of glycine to the growth media in moderate amount (up to 1%) was observed to enhance significantly the release of periplasmic proteins from the cell to the broth. The extracellular activities of the model enzymes -amylase and -lactamase were increased by a factor of 16.3 and 3.8 respectively in the presence of glycine. These activities corresponded to about 50% of the total production for each protein. Furthermore, with glycine supplement the total enzyme activity of both -amylase, -lactamase as well as -galactosidase were increased by a factor of about 2.5. Cell growth characteristics and low extracellular activity of the cytoplasmic protein -galactosidase are indicative that glycine does not cause significant cell-lysis for a concentration below 0.7%. 相似文献

In cultures of Proteus mirabilis the level of R-factor-TEM-mediated -lactamase activity rose during the logarithmic phase, reached a maximum value at the end of this phase and fell rapidly when the cells entered the stationary phase. Supernatants from cultures in the stationary phase were found to inhibit R-TEM -lactamase activity both in cell-free preparations and in intact cells. The inhibitory activity may be due to a proteolytic enzyme excreted into the medium. 相似文献

Thirty nine clinical isolates of Acinetobacter belonging to six species were tested for resistance to 20 metal ions and their ability to produce -lactamase. Fifty two percent of the strains produced -lactamase. -Lactamase producers and non-producers were almost equally distributed in the different species. A. baumannii was the predominant biotype and was found to be most resistant to metals. Resistance to mercury was prevalent in -lactamase-producing A. baumannii only. Silver resistant strains of A. baumannii produced -lactamase. Sensitivity and resistance to copper and cadium was equally distributed between -lactamase producers and non-producers. -Lactamase-producer and -non-producer strains were uniformly sensitive to cadmium except Acinetobacter genospecies 1. 相似文献

An in frame gene fusion containing the coding region for mature -lactamase and the 3-end of hylA encoding the haemolysin secretion signal, was constructed under the control of a lac promoter. The resulting 53 kDa hybrid protein was specifically secreted to the external medium in the presence of the haemolysin translocator proteins, HlyB and HlyD. The specific activity of the -lactamase portion of the secreted protein (measured by the hydrolysis of penicillin G), approximately 1 U/g protein, was close to that of authentic, purified TEM--lactamase. This is an important example of a hybrid protein that is enzymatically active, and secreted via the haemolysin pathway. Previous studies have indicated that haemolysin is secreted directly into the medium, bypassing the periplasm, to which -lactamase is normally targeted. This study indicated, therefore, that normal folding of an active -lactamase, can occur, at least when fused to the HlyA C-terminus, without the necessity of entering the periplasm. Despite the secretion of approximately 5 g/ml levels of the active -lactamase fusion into the medium, there was maximally only a 50% detectable increase in the LD50 for resistance to ampicillin at the individual cell level. This result suggests that, normally, resistance to ampicillin requires a high concentration of the enzyme close to killing targets, i.e. in the periplasm, in order to achieve significant levels of protection.These authors made an equal contribution to this work 相似文献

Spheroplasts ofMycobacterium smegmatis LM15, strain 607, were prepared by a combined treatment with glycine and lysozyme. The spheroplasts were tested for ability to take up and express purified mycobacteriophage DNA. Exposure of 1.0×108 to 1.0×109 spheroplasts to saturing DNA (1 g) for 15 min at 5°C resulted in a transfection efficiency of approximately 0.009%. The transfer of the -lactamase marker with DNA purified from strain LM15 to spheroplasts of a -lactamase-negative mutant, strain LM144, was achieved. The DNA-treated cultures, after reversion to the bacillary form, contained 20-fold more penicillinresistant cells than the nontreated control culture. Approximately 80% of the penicillin-resistant colonies from the DNA-treated cells were positive for -lactamase. Cell-free extracts of penicillin-resistant transformants contained -lactamase activity that ranged from 0.046 to 0.134 mol of benzylpencillin hydrolyzed/min per mg protein. This low temperature procedure is recommended for high efficiency transformation ofM. smegmatis. 相似文献

Three strains ofClostridium butyricum exhibited elevated minimal inhibitory concentrations (MICs) to penicillin (64–1,024 g/ml), ampicillin (32–256 g/ml), carbenicillin (128–1,024 g/ml), and oxacillin (32–64 g/ml). Cephalosporin/cephamycin agents were more active than penicillin drugs. All isolates were found to possess a -lactamase. The -lactamases were primarily cell associated during the logarithmic phase of growth. Stationary-phase cells released most of the enzyme into the culture medium. Cephalothin supplementation of broth cultures with concentrations equivalent to one-eighth of the MIC significantly increased the quantity of -lactamase synthesized. The -lactamases produced by these three isolates exhibited greatest activity with penicillin followed by ampicillin>cephaloridine>carbenicillin and oxacillin. No enzymatic activity was observed using cephalothin, cephalexin, cefazolin, cefoxitin, or cephamandole substrates. The -lactamases were inhibited by clavulanic acid and para-chloromurcuribenzoate and not inhibited by cloxacillin. Each enzyme exhibited an isoelectric point of 4.2. 相似文献

Summary When expressed in Saccharomyces cerevisiae the precursor of the hybrid prokaryotic protein lipo--lactamase is accumulated in reduced form whereas the majority of the mature form contains an intra molecular disulphide bond (oxidized form). We have previously shown that mature mutant lipo--lactamases in which the cysteine residue 131 was changed to either tyrosine or threonine lack the capacity to form a disulphide bond but are nevertheless processed and secreted efficiently in yeast. Here we show that these mutant mature lipo--lactamases, in yeast cell extracts, exhibit a tenfold lower -lactamase-specific activity than the wild-type protein and that the mature mutant proteins are more susceptible to trypsin digestion. Thus, elimination of the disulphide bond alters the conformation of mature lipo--lactamase in yeast.Correspondence to: O. Pines 相似文献

-Lactam antibiotic susceptibility and the presence of -lactamase were examined in clinical strains ofBacteroides species. All strains produced a noninducible, cell-associated cephalosporinase. Based on isoelectric focusing, molecular weight determinations, substrate profiles, and inhibition studies, it was concluded that allBacteroides strains examined produced a very similar, if not identical, -lactamase in terms of these enzymatic and physical characteristics. 相似文献

Summary The lipase (lip) gene of Staphylococcus hyicus was used to study the expression of the Escherichia coli -lactamase (bla) gene in S. carnosus. The bla gene, devoid of its promotor and most of the signal sequence, was fused to the lip structural gene at various positions. A set of 11 secretion vectors (pLL1 to pLL11) was isolated and analysed. All secretion vectors caused -lactamase production and activity in S. carnosus. However, the amount of hybrid proteins secreted was influenced by the length of the NH2-terminal lipase portion. An increased concentration, comparable to that of the native lipase, of secreted lipase/-lactamase hybrid proteins was only found when the lipase portion of the construct comprised more than 101 amino acids of the NH2-terminal region of the lipase preprotein; the proposed lipase signal peptide is 36 amino acids long. If the hybrid proteins constructed contained 101 or less amino acids of the NH2-terminal lipase preprotein, only low amounts of secreted hybrid proteins were detectable and a significant portion of the hybrid proteins and -lactamase activity was found in the cellular fraction. The results indicate that the lipase possesses adjacent to the signal peptide a peptide domain that is essential for the secretion of the lipase/-lactamase hybrid proteins.Abbreviations Cm

High amounts of outer membrane (OM) components were released in glucose-limited fed-batch (GLFB) cultures at 37 °C at specific
growth rates approaching 0.05 h−1. Endotoxin analyses from a 20 °C GLFB culture gave similar results. An alternative fermentation technique, the temperature-limited
fed-batch (TLFB) technique, reduced the endotoxin concentration in a culture with a biomass concentration of 30 g l−1 from the 850 mg l−1 in traditional GLFB cultures to about 20 mg l−1. The TLFB technique uses the temperature to regulate the dissolved oxygen tension, while all substrate components are unregulated.
It appears to be severe glucose limitation that triggers the extensive release of endotoxins rather than a low growth rate.
Furthermore, it is not the low temperature that stabilizes the OM when using the TLFB technique. Simulations and experimental
data show that this technique results in the same biomass productivity as the GLFB technique. 相似文献

An isolated β
1 exon next to the DR
α
gene in the HLA-D region 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
A cosmid clone containing the DR gene and a
1 exon of a DR
-related gene was isolated from a human cosmid clone bank made from the consanguineous DR7 cell line MANN. No other DR-related exons were found on this clone. The
1 exon was located about 15 kb away from the DR
gene in a tail-to-tail (3 to 3) orientation. The exon contained several deleterious mutations: a defective splice site at the 5 end, two translational frame shifts (a 1 by deletion and a 1 bp insertion), and three extra cysteine residues. Nucleotide and amino acid sequence comparisons of the
1 exon indicated that although it is substantially different from other class II -chain genes, it is slightly more related to DR than to any other class 11 gene. The DR-related sequence was on a DNA fragment which showed no polymorphism on a panel of cell lines with Eco RI or Pst 1. These Southern blots, however, revealed a related, polymorphic sequence in the human genome. Nucleotide sequences in the intron flanking the
1 exon shared greater sequence homology than the
1 exon itself when compared with the DR
genomic sequence. The exon may play a role in the generation of variation in expressed class II -chain genes and it may be a relic of a different subset of class II products. 相似文献

A 1-3 galactosyltransferase (GalT-3; UDP-Gal; GM2 1-3galactosyltransferase) was purified over 5100-fold from 19-day-old embryonic chicken brain homogenate employing detergent solubilization, -lactalbumin Sepharose, Q-Sepharose, UDP-hexanolamine Sepharose, and GalNAc1-4Gal-Synsorb column chromatography. The purified enzyme was resolved into two bands on reducing gels with apparent molecular weights of 62 kDa and 65 kDa, respectively. GalT-3 activity was also localized in the same regions by activity gel analysis and sucrose-density gradient centrifugation of a detergent-solubilized extract of 19-day-old embryonic chicken brain. Purified GalT-3 exhibited apparentK
mS of 33 µm, 22 µm and 14.4mM with respect to the substrates GM2, UDP-galactose, and MnCl2, respectively. Substrate specificity studies with the purified enzyme and a variety of glycosphingolipids, glycoproteins, and synthetic substrates revealed that the enzyme was highly specific only for the glycosphingolipid acceptors, GM2 and GgOse3Cer (asialo-GM2). Ovine-asialo-agalacto submaxillary mucin inhibited the transfer of galactose to GM2 but did not act as an acceptor in the range of concentrations tested. Polyclonal antibodies raised against purified GalT-3 inhibited GalT-3 activityin vitro and Western-immunoblot analysis of purified GalT-3 showed immunopositive bands at 62 and 65 kDa.Abbreviations CNS

Summary
Clostridium stercorarium cultures grown on cellobiose contain both an extracellular and a cell-bound -glucosidase activity. A substantial portion of the cell-bound enzyme could be extracted by osmotic shock, suggesting a periplasmic localization. The -glucosidase present in culture supernatants was purified to homogeneity. It was found to be identical in all aspects tested with the cell-bound -glucosidase. The enzyme exists as a monomer with an apparent molecular weight of 85.000 (SDS-PAGE) and a pI of 4.8. It shows optimal activity as pH 5.5 and 65° C. Thiol groups are essential for enzyme activity. In the presence of reducing agents and divalent cations the half-life of the purified enzyme was more than 5 h at 60°C. The enzyme hydrolyses at different rates a wide range of substrates including aryl--glucosides, cellobiose, and disordered cellulose. K
m
values were determined as 0.8 mM for p-nitrophenyl--glucoside (PNPG) and 33 mM for cellobiose. The cellular localization and the substrate specificity pattern are consistent with a dual role of the C. stercorarium -glucosidase in cellulose saccharification: (1) Cleavage of cellobiose formed by exoglucanase and (2) degradation of cellodextrins produced by endoglucanase action. 相似文献

-Galactosidase and streptokinase expression was tested under the control of the T7 promoter in batch and fed-batch cultures. An Escherichia coli host GJ1158, which contained the T7 RNA polymerase gene under the osmo-responsive proUp promoter, was used for expression studies. -Galactosidase expression was enhanced from 26 mg l–1 to 127 mg l–1 in batch culture when a combination of sucrose and sorbitol was used instead of salt as an inducer. Similarly in fed-batch cultures 140 mg streptokinase l–1 was formed with sucrose and sorbitol induction which was higher than that achieved with IPTG induced cultures. 相似文献

Media from Rhabdomyosarcoma and Neuroblastoma Cell Cultures Stimulate in Vitro Aggregation and Fibrillization of Amyloid Beta-Protein 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

In vitro aggregation and fibrillization of synthetic amyloid beta-protein A 1–40 was assessed in the conditioned media from rhabdomyosarcoma (CRL 1598, HTB 82, HTB 153, CCL 136), adenocarcinoma (CCL 218), neuroblastoma (SY5Y), and COS cells cultured in the absence and presence of 10% heat-inactivated fetal bovine serum (FBS). The aggregation and formation of cross -pleated sheet structures in A was quantitated by Thioflavin T (ThT) fluorescence spectroscopy, while the morphology of A fibrils was examined in negative staining in the electronmicroscope (EM). In cultures supplemented with 10% FBS, the conditioned media from CRL 1598, HTB 82, CCL 218, and SY5Y cell cultures stimulated A aggregation in a time-dependent manner as compared to that of control (serum-containing medium that had not been exposed to cells). The order of stimulation was SY5Y > CRL 1598 HTB 82 > CCL 218, and the stimulation was higher in 2 week cultures than in 1 week cultures. Similar studies using media from HTB 153, CCL 136 and COS cell cultures showed no effect on A 1–40 aggregation. In serum-free cell cultures, only media from SY5Y and CRL 1598 could promote significant aggregation of A 1–40. Negative staining in EM revealed A fibril formation only with conditioned media from SY5Y and CRL 1598 cultured under serum free conditions; no A fibrils were noticed in media from cell cultures supplemented with 10% FBS. We propose that both the SY5Y neuroblastoma cell line and the CRL 1598 rhabdomyosarcoma cell line may serve as experimental models for in vitro studies of extracellular aggregation and fibrillization of A-protein in cell cultures, while rhabdomyosarcoma HTB 82 and adenocarcinoma CCL 218 may be models for study of A aggregation only. 相似文献

Summary The inductive effect of lactose, -methyl-thio-D-galactopyranoside, (TMG) and glucose on galactosidase synthesis in Kluyveromyces lactis has been studied. Whereas TMG gave a five fold stimulation of the rate of -galactosidase synthesis, lactose only gave a small stimulation. Glucose caused represssion at levels above 10-3M but stimulated -galactosidase synthesis when added at lower concentrations. 相似文献

Klebsiella aerogenes harbouring the plasmid pBR322 was grown in continuous culture at various growth rates under glucose, phosphate or ammonia limitation. With tetracycline in the medium, the maximum culture -lactamase activity was found at the higher growth rates. When tetracycline was absent, loss of resistance to the drug occurred. Concomitant with the occurrence of drug-sensitive cells, the culture -lactamase activity decreased. At the higher growth rates the enzyme activity decreased at a slightly higher rate than did the resistance to tetracycline. From this it was concluded that the -lactamase activity per mg cellular dry weight of the drug-resistant fraction of the population was still decreasing during the appearance of drug-sensitive cells. At the higher growth rates, this decrease was independent of the nutrient that was growth-limiting. 相似文献
