Molecular cloning and characterization of the gene coding for the aerobic azoreductase from Xenophilus azovorans KF46F 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
The gene coding for an aerobic azoreductase was cloned from Xenophilus azovorans KF46F (formerly Pseudomonas sp. strain KF46F), which was previously shown to grow with the carboxylated azo compound 1-(4'-carboxyphenylazo)-2-naphthol (carboxy-Orange II) as the sole source of carbon and energy. The deduced amino acid sequence encoded a protein with a molecular weight of 30,278 and showed no significant homology to amino acid sequences currently deposited at the relevant data bases. A presumed NAD(P)H-binding site was identified in the amino-terminal region of the azoreductase. The enzyme was heterologously expressed in Escherichia coli and the azoreductase activities of resting cells and cell extracts were compared. The results suggested that whole cells of the recombinant E. coli strains were unable to take up sulfonated azo dyes and therefore did not show in vivo azoreductase activity. The turnover of several industrially relevant azo dyes by cell extracts from the recombinant E. coli strain was demonstrated. 相似文献

A gene encoding the β-amylase of Bacillus circulans was isolated from a lambda library and sequenced. The structural gene consists of a 1725 bp open reading frame encoding a polypeptide with a predicted molecular wt of 62830 Daltons. Two active forms of the enzyme were found when the gene was expressed In E. coli. The larger 60 kD form was approximately 3 kD larger than the mature β-amylase secreted from B. circulans, suggesting that processing of this protein is different between the two species. The smaller 49 kD form is also present at a low level in B. circulans and may result from proteolytic cleavage. The enzyme has a temperature optimum of 50°C. Two other genes, one encoding an α-amylase and one a pullulanase, were also isolated from the lambda library. 相似文献

A 1.8 kb HindIII DNA fragment containing the secY gene of alkalophilic Bacillus sp. C125 has been cloned into plasmid pUC119 using the B. subtilis secY gene as a probe. The complete nucleotide sequence of the cloned DNA indicated that it contained one complete ORF and parts of two other ORFs. The similarity of these ORFs to the sequences of the B. subtilis proteins indicated that they were the genes for ribosomal protein L15-SecY-adenylate kinase, in that order. The gene product of the alkalophilic Bacillus sp. C125 secY homologue was composed of 431 amino acids and its M(r) value has been calculated to be 47,100. The distribution of hydrophobic amino acids in the gene product suggested that the protein was a membrane integrated protein with ten transmembrane segments. The total amino acid sequence of alkalophilic Bacillus sp. C125 secY homologue showed 69.7% homology with that of B. subtilis secY. Regions of remarkably high homology (78% identity) were present in transmembrane regions, and cytoplasmic domains (73% identity) with less homologous regions present in extracellular domains (43% identity). 相似文献

Molecular cloning and nucleotide sequence of a gene for alkaline cellulase from Bacillus sp. KSM-635 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
A gene for alkaline cellulase from the alkalophilic Bacillus sp. KSM-635 was cloned into the HindIII site of pBR322 and expressed in Escherichia coli HB101. Although the recombinant plasmid contained two HindIII inserts of 2.6 kb and 4.0 kb, the inserts were found to be contiguous in the Bacillus genome by hybridization analysis. Nucleotide sequences of a 2.4 kb region which was indispensable for the production of cellulase, and the flanking, 1.1 kb region, were determined. There was an open reading frame (ORF) of 2823 bp in the 3498 bp sequence determined, which encoded 941 amino acid residues. Two putative ribosome-binding sites and a sigma 43-type, promoter-like sequence were found upstream from an initiation codon in the ORF. The deduced amino-terminal sequence resembles the signal peptide of extracellular proteins. A region of amino acids, 249 to 568, of the deduced amino acid sequence of the cellulase from this organism is homologous with those of alkaline and neutral enzymes of other micro-organisms, but nine amino acid residues were found to be conserved only in the alkaline enzymes. 相似文献

Cloning and characterization of the gene coding for the aerobic azoreductase from Pigmentiphaga kullae K24 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
The gene coding for an aerobic azoreductase was cloned from Pigmentiphaga kullae K24, which is able to grow with the carboxylated azo compound 1-(4'-carboxyphenylazo)-4-naphthol (carboxy-Orange I) as sole source of carbon and energy. The gene encoded a protein with a molecular weight of 20,557 Da, with a conserved putative NAD(P)H-binding site in the amino-terminal region. The deduced amino acid sequence showed no further significant sequence homologies to previously studied aerobic azoreductases. The azoreductase was heterologously expressed in Escherichia coli and shown to convert the sulfonated azo dye Orange I and furthermore Magneson II [4-(4-nitrophenylazo)-1-naphthol]. 相似文献

Molecular cloning and nucleotide sequence of the alkaline cellulase gene from the alkalophilic Bacillus sp. strain 1139 总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9
The cellulase gene from the alkalophilic Bacillus sp. strain 1139 was cloned in Escherichia coli using pBR322. Plasmid pFK1 was isolated from transformants producing cellulase, and the cloned cellulase gene was found to be in a 4 X 6 kb HindIII fragment. The cellulase gene was subcloned in a functional state on a 2 X 9 kb DNA fragment and its nucleotide sequence was determined. The coding sequence showed an open reading frame encoding 800 amino acids. The pFK1-encoded cellulase had the same enzymic properties as the extracellular cellulase produced by the alkalophilic Bacillus sp. strain 1139, but its Mr was slightly higher. 相似文献

The recA gene of Synechococcus sp. strain PCC 7002 was detected and cloned from a lambda gtwes genomic library by heterologous hybridization by using a gene-internal fragment of the Escherichia coli recA gene as the probe. The gene encodes a 38-kilodalton polypeptide which is antigenically related to the RecA protein of E. coli. The nucleotide sequence of a portion of the gene was determined. The translation of this region was 55% homologous to the E. coli protein; allowances for conservative amino acid replacements yield a homology value of about 74%. The cyanobacterial recA gene product was proficient in restoring homologous recombination and partial resistance to UV irradiation to recA mutants of E. coli. Heterologous hybridization experiments, in which the Synechococcus sp. strain PCC 7002 recA gene was used as the probe, indicate that a homologous gene is probably present in all cyanobacterial strains. 相似文献

Much effort is underway to define the immunological functions of the CD1 multigene family, which encodes a separate lineage of Ag presentation molecules capable of presenting lipid and glycolipid Ags. To identify porcine CD1 homologues, a cosmid library was constructed and screened with a degenerate CD1 alpha3 domain probe. One porcine CD1 gene (pCD1.1) was isolated and fully characterized. The pCD1.1 gene is organized similarly to MHC class I and other CD1 genes and contains an open reading frame of 1020 bp encoding 339 amino acids. Expression of pCD1.1 mRNA was observed in CD3- thymocytes, B lymphocytes, and tissue macrophages and dendritic cells. The pCD1.1 cDNA was transfected into Chinese hamster ovary cells, and subsequent FACS analysis demonstrated that mAb 76-7-4, previously suggested to be a pig CD1 mAb, recognizes cell surface pCD1.1. Structurally, the pCD1.1 alpha1 and alpha2 domains are relatively dissimilar to those of other CD1 molecules, whereas the alpha3 domain is conserved. Overall, pCD1.1 bears the highest similarity with human CD1a, and the ectodomain sequences characteristically encode a hydrophobic Ag-binding pocket. Distinct from other CD1 molecules, pCD1.1 contains a putative serine phosphorylation motif similar to that found in human, pig, and mouse MHC class Ia molecules and to that found in rodent, but not human, MHC class-I related (MR1) cytoplasmic tail sequences. Thus, pCD1.1 encodes a molecule with a conventional CD1 ectodomain and an MHC class I-like cytoplasmic tail. The unique features of pCD1.1 provoke intriguing questions about the immunologic functions of CD1 and the evolution of Ag presentation gene families. 相似文献

A novel mosquitocidal protein gene, cry20Aa, was cloned from Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. fukuokaensis (H-3a: 3d: 3e). The gene product, Cry20Aa, was naturally truncated and had a molecular mass of 86,138 Da. The Cry20Aa protein possessed five conserved sequence blocks, as do most other insecticidal Cry toxins. However, an amino acid comparison of Cry20Aa with other mosquitocidal toxins, including Cry4A, Cry4B, Cry10A, Cry11A, and Cry11B, demonstrated that Cry20Aa was quite different from other toxins except for the conserved blocks. The N terminus of Cry20Aa was, however, homologous to the N termini of Cry4A and Cry10A. Interestingly, an inverted repeat (IR1) sequence in the open reading frame of the cry20Aa gene caused incomplete expression of Cry20Aa. When this internal IR1 sequence was altered with no change of amino acid sequence, acrystalliferous B. thuringiensis cells transformed with cry20Aa gene dramatically produced crystal inclusions. However, the intact 86-kDa Cry20Aa protein is highly labile, and it is rapidly degraded to polypeptides of 56 and 43 kDa. To increase expression of the cry20Aa gene, the p20 chaperonelike protein and the cyt1Aa promoter were utilized. While p20 did not increase Cry20Aa expression or stability, chimeric constructs in which the cry20Aa gene was under control of the cyt1Aa promoter overexpressed the Cry20Aa protein in acrystalliferous B. thuringiensis. The expressed Cry20Aa protein showed larvicidal activity against Aedes aegypti and Culex quinquefasciatus. However, the mosquitocidal activity was low, probably due to rapid proteolysis to inactive 56- and 43-kDa proteins. 相似文献

The detergent-compatible alkaline protease was produced from the bacterial strain Bacillus sp. APP-07 isolated from Laundromat soil of Solapur, Maharashtra, India. The culture was grown in 1000?ml capacity baffled flask with a working volume of 100?ml and incubated at 55?°C for 33?h on a rotary shaker. After incubation, alkaline protease was partially purified by the sequential method of acetone precipitation followed by nominal molecular weight limit (NMWL) cut-off ultrafiltration using 50?K and 10?K filters. Finally, Sephadex G-100 gel filtration chromatographic purification was performed to obtain 3.12 fold purified alkaline protease enzyme with a 66.67% final yield. The purified enzyme showed 31907.269 units (U) of enzyme activity containing 8741.718?U/mg of specific enzyme activity. The molecular weight of the enzyme was confirmed about 33.0?kDa (kDa) by the SDS-PAGE analysis. The purified enzyme was stable at higher pH and temperature range, with an optimum pH 10.5 and temperature 55?°C. The enzyme showed excellent stability and compatibility in various detergents, surfactants, bleach, and oxidizing agents. The enzyme activity enhanced in the presence of Ca2+, Cu2+, and surfactants, whereas; the phenylmethylsulphonyl fluoride (PMSF) and Diisopropyl fluorophosphate (DFP) completely inhibit the enzymatic activity, which pointed out that the enzyme affiliated to serine-centered metalloproteases family.In conclusion, the remarkable tolerance and stability of the enzyme explored the promising candidature for the several potential applications in the laundry detergents. The sustainability of the enzyme might serve several possible applications in the laundry detergents, leather industries, and other harsh industrial processes. 相似文献

In plants as well as in animals beta1, 2N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase I (GlcNAc-TI) is a Golgi resident enzyme that catalyzes an essential step in the biosynthetic pathway leading from oligomannosidic N-glycans to complex or hybrid type N-linked oligosaccharides. Employing degenerated primers deduced from known GlcNAc-TI genes from animals, we were able to identify the cDNA coding for GlcNAc-TI from a Nicotiana tabacum cDNA library. The complete nucleotide sequence revealed a 1338 base pair open reading frame that codes for a polypeptide of 446 amino acids. Comparison of the deduced amino acid sequence with that of already known GlcNAc-TI polypeptides revealed no similarity of the tobacco clone within the putative cytoplasmatic, transmembrane, and stem regions. However, 40% sequence similarity was found within the putative C-terminal catalytic domain containing conserved single amino acids and peptide motifs. The predicted domain structure of the tobacco polypeptide is typical for type II transmembrane proteins and comparable to known GlcNAc-TI from animal species. In order to confirm enzyme activity a truncated form of the protein containing the putative catalytic domain was expressed using a baculovirus/insect cell system. Using pyridylaminated Man(5)- or Man(3)GlcNAc(2)as acceptor substrates and HPLC analysis of the products GlcNAc-TI activity was shown. This demonstrates that the C-terminal region of the protein comprises the catalytic domain. Expression of GlcNAc-TI mRNA in tobacco leaves was detected using RT-PCR. Southern blot analysis gave two hybridization signals of the gene in the amphidiploid genomes of the two investigated species N. tabacum and N.benthamiana. 相似文献

Molecular cloning and nucleotide sequence of the gene encoding an endo-1,4-beta-glucanase from Bacillus sp. KSM-330. 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The gene encoding an acid endo-1,4-beta-glucanase from Bacillus sp. KSM-330 was cloned into the HindIII site of pBR322 and expressed in Escherichia coli HB101. The recombinant plasmid contained a 3.1 kb HindIII insert, 1.8 kb of which was sufficient for the expression of endoglucanase activity in E. coli HB101. Nucleotide sequencing of this region (1816 bp) revealed an open reading frame of 1389 bp. The protein deduced from this sequence was composed of 463 amino acids with an Mr of 51882. The deduced amino acid sequence from amino acids 56 through 75 coincided with the amino-terminal sequence of the endoglucanase, Endo-K, purified from culture of Bacillus sp. KSM-330. The deduced amino acid sequence of Endo-K had 30% homology with that of the celA enzyme from Clostridium thermocellum NCIB 10682 and 25% homology with that of the enzyme from Cellulomonas uda CB4. However, the Endo-K protein exhibited no homology with respect to either the nucleotide or the amino acid sequences of other endoglucanases from Bacillus that had been previously characterized. These results indicate that the gene for Endo-K in Bacillus sp. KSM-330 has evolved from an ancestral gene distinct from that of other Bacillus endoglucanases. 相似文献
