同工酶研究在嗜热脂肪芽孢杆菌分类中的应用

嗜热脂肪芽孢杆菌是一个尚未被严格定义的种,它几乎包括芽孢杆菌属内所有能在65℃以上生长的细菌。用聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳的方法对151株嗜热脂肪芽孢杆菌的9种酶(G6PDH、LDH、MDH、IDH、AlaDH、LeuDH、过氧化氢酶、过氧化物酶、酯酶)的酶谱进行测定分析。根据其酶谱的差异,可将151株菌株分成两个类型。两型之间8个酶的13或14个基因产物的相异度约为91.8％,两型间的标准遗传距离是2.55。因此这两种类型的细菌也许可以被看作为两个不同的种。

Molecular cloning of promoter-containing fragments from Bacillus stearothermophilus and their expression in Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis

Abstract Bacillus stearothermophilus DNA fragments containing a promoter were isolated in Escherichia coli using a shuttle promoter-probe vector. The molecular sizes of the isolated fragments ranged from 0.78 to 10 kb. The 0.78 and 1.1 kb fragments were selected and examined in some detail for promoter activity in both E. coli and Bacillus subtilis by analysis of expression of erythromycin-resistance (Em^r) and β-galactosidase. The results showed that the two fragments exhibit a high promoter activity in both bacteria. In vitro promoter activity of the 1.1 kb fragment was also shown by RNA syntheses catalyzed by RNA polymerases prepared from E. coli, B. subtilis and B. stearothermophilus .     

Cloning in Bacillus subtilis of temperature-dependent promoter fragments from Bacillus stearothermophilus and Bacillus subtilis

Abstract Using promoter-probe plasmids, more than 200 promoter-containing fragments from Bacillus stearothermophilus and Bacillus subtilis were cloned in B. subtilis . Among these, 15 promoter fragments were highly temperature-dependent in activity compared to the promoter sequence (TTGAAA for the −35 region, TATAAT for the −10 region) of the amylase gene, amyT , from B. stearothermophilus . Some fragments exhibited higher promoter activities at elevated temperature (48°C), others showed higher activities at lower temperature (30°C). Active promoter fragments at higher and lower temperatures were obtained mainly from the thermophile ( B. stearothermophilus ) and the mesophile ( B. subtilis ), respectively. A promoter fragment active at high temperature was sequenced, and the feature of the putative promoter region was discussed.

Phosphopentomutase of Bacillus stearothermophilus TH6-2: The Enzyme and Its Gene ppm

Phosphopentomutase catalyzes the transfer of an intramolecular phosphate on ribose or deoxyribose, and is involved in the salvage pathway of nucleoside synthesis. We identified a sequence 5′-upstream of the genes for the nucleoside phosphorylases of Bacillus stearothermophilus as the phosphopentomutase (ppm) gene. The novel gene corresponded to an open reading frame of 1,179 nucleotides that is translated into a putative 393-amino acid protein with a molecular weight of 43,735. The gene product, partially purified from ppm-overexpressing Escherichia coli cells, was judged to be a monomer of a 44-kDa polypeptide. The phosphopentomutase was found to catalyze the phosphotransfer on not only ribose or deoxyribose but also arabinose or dideoxyribose.     

Plasmid maintenance in Bacillus stearothermophilus is strain-dependent

We studied the segregational stability of plasmids based on pTB913, a 4.5-kb rolling-circle plasmid derived from the thermophilic Bacillus plasmid pTB19. In Bacillus stearothermophilus the stability of pTB913 derivatives appeared to be strain-dependent. In strain CU21 large amounts of single-stranded pTB913 DNA were found and the plasmid was highly unstable at 57 degrees C. In strain NUB3621, however, very low amounts of single-stranded plasmid DNA were formed and pTB913-based replicons were only slightly unstable at 57 degrees C. The NUB3621/pTB913 host-vector system seems appropriate for molecular cloning. A RepA-based replicon, also derived from pTB19 but replicating by a theta mechanism, was highly unstable in B. stearothermophilus NUB3621.

Self-assembly product formation of the Bacillus stearothermophilus PV72/p6 S-layer protein SbsA in the course of autolysis of Bacillus subtilis

In order to achieve high level expression and to study the release of a protein capable of self-assembly, the gene encoding the crystalline cell surface (S-layer) protein SbsA of Bacillus stearothermophilus PV72/p6, including its signal sequence, was cloned and expressed in Bacillus subtilis. To obtain high level expression, a tightly regulated, xylose-inducible, stably replicating multicopy-plasmid vector was constructed. After induction of expression, the S-layer protein made up about 15% of the total cellular protein content, which was comparable to the SbsA content of B. stearothermophilus PV72/p6 cells. During all growth stages, SbsA was poorly secreted to the ambient cellular environment by B. subtilis. Extraction of whole cells with guanidine hydrochloride showed that in late stationary growth phase cells 65% of the synthesised SbsA was retained in the peptidoglycan-containing layer, indicating that the rigid cell wall layer was a barrier for efficient SbsA secretion. Electron microscopic investigation revealed that SbsA release from the peptidoglycan-containing layer started in the late stationary growth phase at distinct sites at the cell surface leading to the formation of extracellular self-assembly products which did not adhere to the cell wall surface. In addition, intracellular sheet-like SbsA self-assembly products which followed the curvature of the cell became visible in partly lysed cells. Intracellularly formed self-assembly products remained intact even after complete lysis of the rigid cell envelope layer.
