Nucleotide sequence and characteristics of endoglucanase gene engB from Clostridium cellulovorans 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7
An endoglucanase gene, engB, from Clostridium cellulovorans, previously cloned into pUC19, has been further characterized and its product investigated. The enzyme, EngB, encoded by the gene was secreted into the periplasmic space of Escherichia coli. The enzyme was active against carboxymethylcellulose, xylan and lichenan but not Avicel (crystalline cellulose). The sequenced gene showed an open reading frame of 1323 base pairs and coded for a protein with a molecular mass of 48.6 kDa. The mRNA contained a typical Gram-positive ribosome-binding site sequence GGAGG and a sequence coding for a putative signal peptide. There is high amino acid and base sequence homology between the N-terminal regions of EngB and another C. cellulovorans endoglucanase, EngD, but they differ significantly in their C-termini. Deletion analyses revealed that up to 32 amino acids of the N-terminus and 52 amino acids of the C-terminus were not required for catalytic activity. The conserved reiterated domains at the C-terminus of EngB were similar to those from endoglucanases from other cellulytic bacteria. According to our deletion analyses, this region is not needed for catalytic activity. 相似文献

A genomic library of Actinomyces naeslundii WVU45 DNA in Escherichia coli was screened for antigen expression with rabbit antibody against A. naeslundii fimbriae. Western blotting (immunoblotting) of one recombinant clone carrying a 13.8-kilobase-pair insert revealed a 59-kilodalton (kDa) immunoreactive protein. A protein of similar electrophoretic mobility was detected from the isolated fimbrial antigen. Expression of the 59-kDa cloned protein in E. coli was directed by a promoter from the insert. The DNA sequence of the subunit gene was determined, and an open reading frame of 1,605 nucleotides was identified which was preceded by a putative ribosome-binding site and followed by two inverted repeats of 14 and 17 nucleotides, respectively. The reading frame encoded a protein of 534 amino acids (calculated molecular weight, 57,074), and the N-terminal sequence resembled that of a signal peptide. The presence of a 32-amino-acid signal peptide was indicated by amino-terminal sequencing of the fimbriae from A. naeslundii. The sequence, as determined by Edman degradation, was identical to that deduced from the DNA sequence beginning at predicted residue 33 of the latter sequence. Moreover, the amino acid composition of the predicted mature protein was similar to that of the isolated fimbriae from A. naeslundii. Thus, the cloned gene encodes a subunit of A. naeslundii fimbriae. 相似文献

The cel-3 gene cloned from Fibrobacter succinogenes into Escherichia coli coded for the enzyme EG3, which exhibited both endoglucanase and cellobiosidase activities. The gene had an open reading frame of 1,974 base pairs, coding for a protein of 73.4 kilodaltons (kDa). However, the enzyme purified from the osmotic shock fluid of E. coli was 43 kDa. The amino terminus of the 43-kDa protein matched amino acid residue 266 of the protein coded for by the open reading frame, indicating proteolysis in E. coli. In addition to the 43-kDa protein, Western immunoblotting revealed a 94-kDa membranous form of the enzyme in E. coli and a single protein of 118 kDa in F. succinogenes. Thus, the purified protein appears to be a proteolytic degradation product of a native protein which was 94 kDa in E. coli and 118 kDa in F. succinogenes. The discrepancy between the molecular weight expected on the basis of the DNA sequence and the in vivo form may be due to anomalous migration during electrophoresis, to glycosylation of the native enzyme, or to fatty acyl substitution at the N terminus. One of two putative signal peptide cleavage sites bore a strong resemblance to known lipoprotein leader sequences. The purified 43-kDa peptide exhibited a high Km (53 mg/ml) for carboxymethyl cellulose but a low Km (3 to 4 mg/ml) for lichenan and barley beta-glucan. The enzyme hydrolyzed amorphous cellulose, and cellobiose and cellotriose were the major products of hydrolysis. Cellotriose, but not cellobiose, was cleaved by the enzyme. EG3 exhibited significant amino acid sequence homology with endoglucanase CelC from Clostridium thermocellum, and as with both CelA and CelC of C. thermocellum, it had a putative active site which could be aligned with the active site of hen egg white lysozyme at the highly conserved amino acid residues Asn-44 and Asp-52. 相似文献

A Rhodothermus marinus gene, hemB, coding for 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) dehydratase (ALAD) has been cloned and sequenced. The reading frame of the hemB gene is 1020 base pairs encoding a protein of 340 amino acids with a calculated molecular mass of 37.4 kDa. The amino acid
sequence shows homology with eubacterial and eukaryotic ALA dehydratases. A putative metal-binding site of the protein shows
strongest homology with corresponding sites from plant ALA dehydratases that require Mg2+ for activity. It differs with respect to only one amino acid out of 20 from a corresponding site in pea ALAD.

We have cloned and sequenced a 1.5-kb chromosomal fragment of Thermus thermophilus which promoted the overproduction of carotenoids in T. thermophilus. An open reading frame (ORF-A) coding for a polypeptide with 289 amino acids was responsible for carotenoid overproduction. The putative ORF-A protein showed significant homology with the amino acid sequences of crtB gene products (phytoene syntheses) of other microorganisms. The clone containing the ORF-A on a multicopy plasmid produced about three times as much carotenoid as that produced by the host strain, suggesting that the crtB gene product is a rate-limiting enzyme for carotenoid biosynthesis in T. thermophilus. 相似文献

A thermostable glycerol kinase (FGK) was purified 34-fold to homogeneity from Flavobacterium meningosepticum. The molecular masses of the enzyme were 200 kDa by gel filtration and 50 kDa by SDS-PAGE. The Km for glycerol and ATP were 0.088 and 0.030 mM, respectively. The enzyme was stable at 65°C for 10 min and at 37°C for two weeks. The enzyme gene was cloned into Escherichia coli and its complete DNA was sequenced. The FGK gene consists of an open reading frame of 1494-bp encoding a protein of 498 amino acids. The deduced amino acid sequence of the gene had 40-60% similarity to those of glycerol kinases from other origins and the amino acid sequence of the putative active site residue reported for E. coli GK is identical to the corresponding sequence of FGK except for one amino acid residue. 相似文献

The extracellular phospholipase D (PLD) gene fromStreptomyces antibioticus was cloned, sequenced, and expressed inEscherichia coli. Analysis of DNA sequence data revealed a putative ribosome-binding site and an open reading frame encoding a 556-amino-acid protein that included amino acid sequences obtained from the purified enzyme. The protein was expressed in an insoluble form inE. coli, but reacted with antibody against PLD. After solubilization of the protein with guanidine-HCI and 2-mercaptoethanol, subsequent dialysis restored the PLD activity. Comparison of the nucleotide sequence data with the N-terminal protein sequence indicates that this secreted protein is synthesized as a larger precursor with a 47-amino-acid N-terminal extension to the mature enzyme of 509 amino acids. The amino acid sequence of the S.antibioticus PLD was extensively compared with other PLDs and phospholipase C (PLC). The deduced amino acid sequence of the cloned PLD was highly homologous to PLDs from S. acidomyceticus andStreptomyces sp., and contained a conserved region with S.chromofuscus PLD. From comparisons of the structural similarity and properties of the various PLDs, a classification of PLDs into two subgroups has been proposed and the highly conserved region designated tentatively region XPLD, which may be important in the catalytic function, has been identified. The homology comparison between our PLD and phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C (PI-PLC) is also discussed. 相似文献

Conserved reiterated domains in Clostridium thermocellum endoglucanases are not essential for catalytic activity 总被引:21,自引:0,他引:21
The complete nucleotide sequence of the Clostridium thermocellum celE gene, coding for an endo-beta-1,4-glucanase (endoglucanase E; EGE) with xylan-hydrolysing activity has been determined. The structural gene consists of an open reading frame (ORF) of 2442 bp commencing with a GTG start codon and followed by a TAA stop codon. The nucleotide sequence obtained has been confirmed by comparing the predicted amino acid sequence with that derived by N-terminal amino acid sequencing of the purified protein. The EGE sequence contains a region homologous to the reiterated domain found at the C terminus of other endoglucanases from the same organism. BAL 31 deletions of the structural gene have revealed the extent to which this conserved sequence is necessary for endoglucanase and xylanase activity. A region of DNA, upstream from the structural gene has also been sequenced and a ribosome-binding site and putative promoter sequences have been identified. A second ORF which ends 349 bp 5' to the GTG start codon of the celE gene has also been identified. The encoded product contains a C terminus homologous to other C. thermocellum endoglucanases. 相似文献

We identified a P element insertional mutant of the Drosophila glycogen phosphorylase (DGPH) gene. Glycogen phosphorylase protein concentration and enzyme activity are decreased while glycogen content is increased in flies homozygous for the mutant allele. The DGPH gene has been cloned and sequenced; its open reading frame codes for a protein of 844 amino acids with a predicted molecular mass of 97 kDa. Comparison of the conceptual amino acid sequence of the Drosophila glycogen phosphorylase with glycogen phosphorylase sequences from other organisms shows a high degree of homology to mammalian enzymes. All the residues of the allosteric effector binding sites, the active site, and the site of phosphorylation are exactly conserved, but some of the residues of the glycogen storage site are not. 相似文献

The structural glycoprotein gene gp41 homologue of Spodoptera litura nucleopolyhedrosis virus (SpltNPV-I *) was identified in the 4.0 kb EcoRI-L fragment of the viral genome. The nucleotide sequence of 2063 bp of this fragment revealed an open reading frame of 1014 nucleotides to encode a polypeptide of 337 amino acids. Analysis of nucleotide and deduced amino acid sequences of the putative ORF indicated its identity with gp41 protein of other baculoviruses sharing maximum homology with that of Spodoptera frugiperda nucleopolyhedrosis virus (SfNPV). The coding sequence was preceded by an AT-rich region containing the consensus baculoviral late promoter motif RTAAG. The putative SpltNPV gp41 ORF was abundantly expressed as a 37 kDa apoprotein in E. coli and as a 50 kDa glycoprotein in Sf9 cells. The recombinant protein expressed in insect cells was glycosylated (20%) and has GlcNAc as the terminal sugar. The gene is conserved among baculoviruses and places SpltNPV-I close to Spodoptera frugiperda and Spodoptera exigua NPVs in phylogenetic tree. 相似文献

Pasteurella haemolytica serotype A1 secretes a glycoprotease which is specific for O-sialoglycoproteins such as glycophorin A. The gene encoding the glycoprotease enzyme has been cloned in the recombinant plasmid pH1, and its nucleotide sequence has been determined. The gene (designated gcp) codes for a protein of 35.2 kDa, and an active enzyme protein of this molecular mass can be observed in Escherichia coli clones carrying pPH1. In vivo labeling of plasmid-encoded proteins in E. coli maxicells demonstrated the expression of a 35-kDa protein from pPH1. The amino-terminal sequence of the heterologously expressed protein corresponds to that predicted from the nucleotide sequence. The glycoprotease is a neutral metalloprotease, and the predicted amino acid sequence of the glycoprotease contains a putative zinc-binding site. The gene shows no significant homology with the genes for other proteases of procaryotic or eucaryotic origin. However, there is substantial homology between gcp and an E. coli gene, orfX, whose product is believed to function in the regulation of macromolecule biosynthesis. 相似文献
