In the ascomycetous fungus Aspergillus nidulans, the expression of two inducible, contiguous or closely linked genes (qutB and qutC) which encode enzymes for quinate breakdown to protocatechuate, appears to be controlled by the product of a tightly linked third gene (qutA). The qut gene cluster locates on chromosome VIII. The catalytic steps required for this conversion are dehydrogenase, dehydroquinase, and dehydratase, and these activities are induced by the presence of quinate in a similar manner. The dehydroquinase enzyme has been purified and shown to be multimeric, consisting of 20–22 identical subunits of approximately 10,000 MW. The enzyme has a pI value of 5.84, a K
m
of 5×10–4
m, and an amino acid composition that lacks tryptophan and cysteine. The enzyme also cross-reacts with rabbit antibodies raised against Neurospora crassa catabolic dehydroquinase.This work was supported in part by European Molecular Biology Organisation grants to J.R.K. and A.R.H. and by National Institutes of Health Grant GM23051 to N.H.G. 相似文献

High-level expression, purification and characterization of recombinant Aspergillus oryzae alkaline protease in Pichia pastoris 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The alkaline protease gene from Aspergillus oryzae was cloned, and then it was successfully expressed in the heterologous Pichia pastoris GS115 with native signal peptide or α-factor secretion signal peptide. The yield of the recombinant alkaline protease with native signal peptide was about 1.5-fold higher than that with α-factor secretion signal peptide, and the maximum yield of the recombinant alkaline protease was 513 mg/L, which was higher than other researches. The recombinant alkaline protease was purified by ammonium sulfate precipitation, ion exchange chromatography and gel filtration chromatography. The purified recombinant alkaline protease showed on SDS–PAGE as a single band with an apparent molecular weight of 34 kDa. The recombinant alkaline protease was identical to native alkaline protease from A. oryzae with regard to molecular weight, optimum temperature for activity, optimum pH for activity, stability to pH, and similar sensitivity to various metal ions and protease inhibitors. The native enzyme retained 61.18% of its original activity after being incubated at 50 °C for 10 min, however, the recombinant enzyme retained 56.22% of its original activity with same disposal. The work demonstrates that alkaline protease gene from A. oryzae can be expressed largely in P. pastoris without affecting its enzyme properties and the recombinant alkaline protease could be widely used in various industrial applications. 相似文献

Aspergillus tamarii expresses an extracellular alkaline protease that we show to be effective in removing hair from cattle hide. Large quantities
of the enzyme will be required for the optimization of the enzymatic dehairing process so the growth conditions for maximum
protease expression by A. tamarii were optimized for both solid-state culture on wheat bran and for broth culture. Optimal protease expression occurred, for
both cultural media, at initial pH 9; the culture was incubated at 30 °C for 96 h using a 5% inoculum. The crude enzyme was
isolated, purified and characterized using MALDI TOF TOF. The alkaline protease was homologous to the alkaline protease expressed
by Aspergillus viridinutans.

A protease-producing bacterium was isolated from slaughterhouse waste samples, Hyderabad, India. It was related to Bacillus cereus on the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequencing and biochemical properties. The protease was purified to homogeneity using ammonium sulfate precipitation, and ion exchange chromatography with a fold purification of 1.8 and a recovery of 49%. The enzyme had a relative molecular weight of 28 kDa, pH and temperature optima for this protease were 10 and 60 °C. The activity was stable between a pH range of 7.0 and 12.0. The activity was inhibited by EDTA and enhanced (four-fold) by Cu2+ ions indicating the presence of metalloprotease. The enzyme showed extreme stability and activity even in the presence of detergents and anionic surfactants. The enzyme also showed stability in the presence of organic solvents. 相似文献

An obligatory alkalophilic Bacillus sp. P-2, which produced a thermostable alkaline protease was isolated by selective screening from water samples. Protease production at 30 °C in static conditions was highest (66 U/ml) when glucose (1% w/v) was used with combination of yeast extract and peptone (0.25% w/v, each), in the basal medium. Protease production by Bacillus sp. P-2 was suppressed up to 90% when inorganic nitrogen sources were supplemented in the production medium. Among the various agro-byproducts used in different growth systems (solid state, submerged fermentation and biphasic system), wheat bran was found to be the best in terms of maximum enhancement of protease yield as compared to rice bran and sunflower seed cake. The protease was optimally active at pH 9.6, retaining more than 80% of its activity in the pH range of 7–10. The optimum temperature for maximum protease activity was 90 °C. The enzyme was stable at 90 °C for more than 1h and retained 95 and 37% of its activity at 99 °C and 121 °C, respectively, after 1 h. The half-life of protease at 121 °C was 47 min. 相似文献

The novel fungus Aspergillus niveus RS2 isolated from rice straw showed relatively high xylanase production after 5 days of fermentation. Of the different xylan-containing
agricultural by-products tested, rice husk was the best substrate; however, maximum xylanase production occurred when the
organism was cultured on purified xylan. Yeast extract was found to be the best nitrogen source for xylanase production, followed
by ammonium sulfate and peptone. The optimum pH for maximum enzyme production was 8 (18.2 U/ml); however, an appreciable level
of activity was obtained at pH 7 (10.9 U/ml). Temperature and pH optima for xylanase were 50°C and 7.0, respectively; however
the enzyme retained considerably high activity under high temperature (12.1 U/ml at 60°C) and high alkaline conditions (17.2 U/ml
at pH 8 and 13.9 U/ml at pH 9). The enzyme was strongly inhibited by Hg2+, while Mn2+ was slight activator. The half-life of the enzyme was 48 min at 50°C. The enzyme was purified by 5.08-fold using carboxymethyl-sephadex
chromatography. Zymogram analysis suggested the presence of a single candidate xylanase in the purified preparation. SDS-PAGE
revealed a molecular weight of approximately 22.5 kDa. The enzyme had K
m and V
max values of 2.5 and 26 μmol/mg per minute, respectively. 相似文献

A gene encoding a plant terpene cyclase, Artemisia annua amorpha-4,11-diene synthase (ADS), was expressed in Aspergillus nidulans under control of a strong constitutive promoter, (p)gpdA. The transformants produced only small amounts of amorphadiene, but much larger amounts of similar sesquiterpenes normally produced as minor by-products in planta. In contrast, expression of ADS in Escherichia coli produced almost exclusively amorpha-4,11-diene. These results indicate that the host environment can greatly impact the terpenes produced from terpene synthases. 相似文献

Abstract A neutral endoxylanase from a culture filtrate of Aspergillus nidulans grown on oat spelt xylan was purified to apparent homogeneity. The purified enzyme showed a single band on SDS-PAGE with a molecular mass of 22,000 and had an isoelectric point of 6.4. The enzyme was a non-debranching endoxylanase highly specific for xylans and completely free from cellulolytic activity. The xylanase showed an optimum activity at pH 5.5 and 62°C and had a K m of 4.2 mg oat spelt xylan per ml and a V max of 710 μmol min−1 (mg protein)−1 . 相似文献

An extracellular alkaline serine protease has been purified from a strain of Aspergillus clavatus, to apparent homogeneity, by ammonium sulfate precipitation and chromatography on Sephadex G-75. Its molar mass, estimated
by SDS-PAGE, was 35 kDa. Maximum protease activity was observed at pH 9.5 and 40°C. The enzyme was active between pH 6.0 and
11.0 and was found to be unstable up to 50°C. Calcium at 5 mM increased its thermal stability. The protease was strongly inhibited
by PMSF and chymostatin as well as by SDS, Tween 80 and carbonate ion. Substrate specificity was observed with N-p-Tos-Gly-Pro-Arg-p-nitroanilide and N-Suc-Ala-Ala-Ala-p-nitroanilide being active substates. Parts of the amino acid sequence were up to 81% homologous with those of several fungal
alkaline serine proteases. 相似文献

An extracellular thermostable alkaline protease isolated from Bacillus
laterosporus-AK1 was purified by sephadex G-200 gel filtration and DEAE cellulose ion-exchange chromatography techniques. The purified
protease showed a maximum relative activity of 100% on casein substrate and appeared as a single band on SDS-PAGE with the
molecular mass of 86.29 kDa. The protease was purified to 11.1-folds with a yield of 34.3%. Gelatin zymogram also revealed
a clear hydrolytic zone due to proteolytic activity, which corresponded to the band obtained with SDS-PAGE. The protease enzyme
had on optimum pH of 9.0 and exhibited highest activity at 75°C. The enzyme activity was highly susceptible to the specific
serine protease inhibitor PMSF, suggesting the presence of serine residues at the active sites. Enzyme activity strongly enhanced
by the metal ions Ca2+ and Mg2+ and this enzyme compatible with aril detergent stability retained 75% even 1-h incubation. The purified protease remove bloodstain
completely when used with Wheel detergent. 相似文献

Aspergillus niger K10 cultivated on 2-cyanopyridine produced high levels of an intracellular nitrilase, which was partially purified (18.6-fold) with a 24% yield. The N-terminal amino acid sequence of the enzyme was highly homologous with that of a putative nitrilase from Aspergillus fumigatus Af293. The enzyme was copurified with two proteins, the N-terminal amino acid sequences of which revealed high homology with those of hsp60 and an ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme. The nitrilase exhibited maximum activity (91.6 U mg-1) at 45°C and pH 8.0. Its preferred substrates, in the descending order, were 4-cyanopyridine, benzonitrile, 1,4-dicyanobenzene, thiophen-2-acetonitrile, 3-chlorobenzonitrile, 3-cyanopyridine, and 4-chlorobenzonitrile. Formation of amides as by-products was most intensive, in the descending order, for 2-cyanopyridine, 4-chlorobenzonitrile, 4-cyanopyridine, and 1,4-dicyanobenzene. The enzyme stability was markedly improved in the presence of d-sorbitol or xylitol (20% w/v each). p-Hydroxymercuribenzoate and heavy metal ions were the most powerful inhibitors of the enzyme. 相似文献

Summary In Aspergillus nidulans expression of the acetamidase structural gene, amdS, is under the control of at least four regulatory genes including the trans-acting amdA regulatory gene. A cis-acting mutation (amdI66) consisting of an 18 by duplication in the 5 region of the amdS gene results in very high levels of acetamidase activity but only in strains carrying semi-dominant mutations in the amdA gene. In selecting for increased amdS expression in an amdI66 amdA
– strain, an A. nidulans strain with a mutation in the 5 region of the amdS gene was isolated. The nucleotide sequence was determined of the region containing the mutation, designated amdI666. The mutant strain carries three tandem copies of the 18 by sequence that is duplicated in the amdI66 mutation. Thus, from a strain carrying a duplication of an apparent regulatory protein binding site with little effect on gene expression, a strain has been derived that carries a triplication of the site with consequent major effects on regulation. The multiple copies of regulatory sites present in many genes may have been generated by a similar mechanism. 相似文献

Summary An allele (oliC31) of the A. nidulans oliC gene has been cloned using homology with the equivalent gene from N. crassa. OliC31 codes for an oligomycin-resistant, triethyltin-hypersensitive form of subunit 9 of the mitochondrial ATP synthase complex. Direct selection for oligomycin-resistance was possible following transformation of A. nidulans with the oliC31 gene. The phenotypes of transformants cultured in the presence of oligomycin were indicative of the position of integration of the transforming plasmid within the genome. Subsequent recombination events involving the integrated oliC31 gene were also apparent from altered levels of resistance to oligomycin or triethyltin. This gene should prove useful as a marker for transformation of strains lacking auxotrophic lesions and in gene replacement or disruption experiments. 相似文献

We have previously identified genes and proteins involved in the fungal response to the Streptomyces-produced antibiotics, bafilomycin B1 and concanamycin A, known inhibitors of V-ATPases. Using mRNA differential display we identified an Aspergillus nidulans gene with 30-fold up-regulated expression in the presence of bafilomycin. This gene, here denoted phiA, and its gene product, were further characterized by targeted gene disruption and immunohistochemistry. Phenotypically, the phiA mutation resulted in reduced growth and severely reduced sporulation. The abnormality could be traced to the phialides, which divided several times instead of forming a single flask-shaped cell. The importance of phiA for phialide and conidium development was supported by immunohistochemistry experiments that showed the protein to be mainly present in these two cell types. Attempts to relate phiA to inhibition of V-ATPases did not result in unambiguous conclusions, but suggest the possibility that changed expression of phiA is correlated with growth arrest caused by inhibited V-ATPases. 相似文献

Sequence, organization and expression of the core histone genes of Aspergillus nidulans 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6

Summary The core histone gene family ofAspergillus nidulans was characterized. The H2A, H2B and H3 genes are unique in theA. nidulans genome. In contrast there are two H4 genes, H4.1 and H4.2. As previously reported for the H2A gene (May and Morris 1987) introns also interrupt the other core histone genes. The H2B gene, like the H2A gene, is interrupted by three introns, the H3 and H4.1 gene are each interrupted by two introns and the H4.2 gene contains one intron. The position of the single intron in H4.2 is the same as that the first intron of the H4.1 gene. The H2A and H2B genes are arranged as a gene pair separated by approximately 600 by and are divergently transcribed. The H3 and H4.1 genes are similarly arranged and are separated by approximately 800 bp. The H4.2 gene is not closely linked to either the H2A-H2B or H3-H4.1 gene pairs. Using pulse field gel electrophoresis an electrophoretic karyotype was established forA. nidulans. This karyotype was used to assign the H3–H4.1 gene pair and the H4.2 gene to linkage group VIII and the H2A–H2B gene pair to either linkage group III or VI. The abundance of each of the histone messenger RNAs was determined to be cell cycle regulated but the abundance of the H4.2 mRNA appears to be regulated differently from the others. 相似文献

Protease enzyme from Bacillus megaterium was successively purified by ammonium sulfate precipitation, ion exchange chromatography on DEAE-cellulose and gel filtration chromatography on Sephadex G-200. The purification steps of protease resulted in the production of two protease fractions namely protease P1 and P2 with specific activities of 561.27 and 317.23 U mg?1 of protein, respectively. The molecular weights of B. megaterium P1 and P2 were 28 and 25 KDa, respectively. The purified fractions P1 and P2 were rich in aspartic acid and serine. Relatively higher amounts of alanine, leucine, glycine, valine, thereonine valine and glutamic acid were also present. The maximum protease activities for both enzyme fractions were attained at 50 °C, pH 7.5, 1% of gelatine concentration and 0.5 enzyme concentrations. P1 and P2 fractions were more stable over pH 7.0–8.5 and able to prolong their thermal stability up to 80 °C. The effect of different inhibitors on the protease activity of both enzyme fractions was also studied. The enzyme was found to be serine active as it had been affected by lower concentrations of phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride (PMSF). Complete dehairing of the enzyme-treated skin was achieved in 12 h, at room temperature. 相似文献

Summary We have isolated and characterized a new class of p-fluorophenylalanine (FPA)-resistant mutant in Aspergillus nidulans using a phenA strain as the wild type, by optimizing the conditions of growth. All four spontaneous mutants selected on a medium containing FPA were found to be recessive to their wild-type alleles in heterozygous diploids. Complementation analyses and linkage data showed that they were allelic and mapped at a single locus (fpaU) in the facA-riboD interval on the right arm of linkage group V. Partial purification and characterization of Phe-tRNA synthetase from wild-type and mutant strains revealed that the mutant enzyme had a greatly reduced ability to activate the analogue. It is suggested that mutation in the fpaU gene brings about a structural alteration in Phe-tRNA synthetase.Abbreviations FPA

Summary We have cloned and determined the nucleotide sequence of a cDNA fragment for the entire coding region of the alkaline protease (Alp) from a filamentous ascomycete Aspergillus oryzae. According to the deduced amino acid sequence, Alp has a putative prepro region of 121 amino acids preceding the mature region, which consists of 282 amino acids. A consensus sequence of a signal peptide consiting of 21 amino acids is found at the N-terminus of the prepro region. The primary structure of the mature region shares extensive homology (29%–44%) with those of subtilisin families, and the three residues (Asp 32, His 64 and Ser 221 in subtilisin BPN) composing the active site are preserved. The entire cDNA, coding for prepro Alp, when introduced into the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, directed the secretion of enzymatically active Alp into the culture medium, with its N-terminus and specific activity identical to native Aspergillus Alp. 相似文献
