A protein with a tetragonal pattern, defined as RS protein, was found on the wall surface of an alkaline phosphatase secretion-deficient mutant (NM 105) of Bacillus licheniformis 749/C. The protein was present on the wall surface of the exponential-growth-phase cells, but at the stationary growth phase it was overproduced and hypersecreted. This protein was precipitated to homogeneity from the culture fluid by 80% ammonium sulfate saturation and chilled acetone. The molecular mass of the protein was 98 kilodaltons, and it had a single subunit in a sodium dodecyl sulfate gel. Specific anti-RS antibody was generated in rabbits and used to immunolabel the RS protein on the cells at different growth phases. In early-exponential-growth-phase cells, the outside surface of the wall, the cytoplasm, and the inside surface of the cytoplasmic membrane were labeled. In stationary-growth-phase cells, the cytoplasm was poorly labeled, but the labeling on the outside surface of the wall was high. AB. licheniformis NM 105 gene library was made by using the lambda phage EMBL3. The RS protein expression from this gene library was detected by a modified autoradiographic procedure. One of the amplified RS protein-positive plaques (4213-1) containing recombinant DNA was chosen, and the restriction map of this DNA was prepared. The RS protein expressed in Escherichia coli NM 539 infected with 4213-1 recombinant phage had a lower molecular mass than the purified authentic RS protein. The 4.5-kilobase-pair (kbp) SalI-EcoRI fragment of the recombinant DNA was cloned in the shuttle plasmid pMK4 to construct pMK462, which was expressed in B. subtilis MI112 and produced the RS protein identical in molecular mass to the purified authentic RS protein. The RS protein expression was also demonstrated in cryosections of transformed E. coli and B. subtilis cells by immunoelectron microscopy. The 1.2-kbp SalI-HindIII and 1.8-kbp HindIII-HindIII recombinant DNA restriction enzyme fragments, respectively, from the right of the restriction map produced anti-RS antibody cross-reacting proteins. The expression of the 1.2-kbp SalI-HindIII DNA fragment cloned in pUC8 could be induced with isopropyl-beta-D-thiogalactopyranoside. The 1.8-kbp DNA restriction fragment hybridized with both the chromosomal DNA of strain NM 105 and the recombinant phage 4213-1 DNA. The RS gene expression was finally demonstrated in transformed E. coli 539 cells by in situ hybridization of frozen thin sections with the 1.8-kbp HindIII biotin-dATP probe and immunolabeling these with anti-biotin immunoglobulin G and protein A-gold. 相似文献

The penicillinase antirepressor gene, penJ, of Bacillus licheniformis ATCC 9945a was cloned in Escherichia coli by using pMB9 as a vector plasmid. The penicillinase gene, penP, its repressor gene, penI, and penJ were encoded on the cloned 5.2-kilobase HindIII fragment of the recombinant plasmid pTTE71. The penJ open reading frame was composed of 1,803 bases and 601 amino acid residues (molecular weight, 68,388). A Shine-Dalgarno sequence was found 7 bases upstream from the translation start site. Since this sequence was located in the 3'-terminal region of the penI gene, penJ might be transcribed together with penI as a polycistronic mRNA from the penI promoter. Frameshift mutations of penJ were constructed in vitro from pTTE71, and the penJ mutant gene was introduced into B. licheniformis by chromosomal recombination. The transformant B. licheniformis U173 (penP+ penI+ penJ) turned out to be uninducible for penicillinase production, whereas the wild-type strain (penP+ penI+ penJ+) was inducible. Only when these three genes (penP, penI, and PenJ) were simultaneously subcloned in Bacillus subtilis did the plasmid carrier exhibit inducible penicillinase production, as did wild-type B. licheniformis. It was concluded that penJ is involved in the penicillinase induction. The regulation of penP expression by penI and penJ is discussed. 相似文献

The degree of biodiversity among Bacillus licheniformis plasmids and their relation to other Bacillus subtilis group plasmids has been evaluated. To attain this goal we surveyed the diversity and linkage of replication modules in a collection of 21 naturally occurring plasmids of B. licheniformis strains, isolated from different geographical areas. On the basis of rep gene sequence analysis it was possible to group the B. licheniformis plasmids rep genes in two main cluster. Comparison with known rep genes from Bacillus rolling-circle-replicating (RCR) plasmids revealed the presence in B. licheniformis plasmids of replication genes with a DNA sequence peculiar to B. licheniformis species together with rep genes with a very high sequence similarity to B. subtilis plasmids. Furthermore, the molecular organization of an atypical replicon, pBL63.1, was shown. This plasmid did not display any significant similarity with known Bacillus RCR plasmids. The complete nucleotide sequence evidenced a replication module with an unexpected similarity with Rep proteins from RCR plasmids of bacterial species phylogenetically distantly related to Bacillus. pBL63.1 represents an exception to the low-level diversity hypothesis among Bacillus RC replicons. 相似文献

The complete nucleotide sequence of the cya gene from E. coli was determined. The gene encodes a polypeptide consisting of 848 amino acid residues with a calculated molecular weight of 97,542. The deduced protein structure reveals that cyclase is comprised of two domains, an amino-terminal region exhibiting catalytic activity and a carboxy-terminal region possibly carrying regulatory function. The frequent appearance of rare codons in the beginning of the gene as well as the sequence duplication in the promoter-initiator region suggest possible regulation(s) at the translational level. An unknown gene (cyaX) which seems to code for a very hydrophobic protein was found following the cya gene. Sequence analysis suggests that the cyax is a part of the cya operon. 相似文献

The genome of Bacillus licheniformis DSM13 consists of a single chromosome that has a size of 4,222,748 base pairs. The average G+C ratio is 46.2%. 4,286 open reading frames, 72 tRNA genes, 7 rRNA operons and 20 transposase genes were identified. The genome shows a marked co-linearity with Bacillus subtilis but contains defined inserted regions that can be identified at the sequence as well as at the functional level. B. licheniformis DSM13 has a well-conserved secretory system, no polyketide biosynthesis, but is able to form the lipopeptide lichenysin. From the further analysis of the genome sequence, we identified conserved regulatory DNA motives, the occurrence of the glyoxylate bypass and the presence of anaerobic ribonucleotide reductase explaining that B. licheniformis is able to grow on acetate and 2,3-butanediol as well as anaerobically on glucose. Many new genes of potential interest for biotechnological applications were found in B. licheniformis; candidates include proteases, pectate lyases, lipases and various polysaccharide degrading enzymes. 相似文献

We have isolated and sequenced the complete murine I-E alpha immune response gene of the H-2db haplotype. The I-E alpha d gene consists of 5300 basepairs and is organized into five or possibly six exons that correspond to different domains of the alpha chain. The amino acid sequence deduced from the I-E alpha gene shows 75% homology to its human counterpart, the HLA-DR alpha chain. The absence of I-E antigen in H-2 mice is due to lack of E alpha chain synthesis. We show here that this defect is caused by a deletion in the 5' end of the I-E alpha b gene. 相似文献

The complete nucleotide sequence of the Pseudomonas gene coding for carboxypeptidase G2 总被引:15,自引:0,他引:15
The complete nucleotide sequence of the Pseudomonas chromosomal gene coding for the enzyme carboxypeptidase G2 (CPG2) has been determined. The nucleotide sequence obtained has been confirmed by comparing the predicted amino acid sequence with that of randomly derived peptide fragments and by N-terminal sequencing of the purified protein. The gene has been shown to code for a 22 amino acid signal peptide at its N-terminus which closely resembles the signal peptides of other secreted proteins. An alternative 36 amino acid signal peptide which may function in Pseudomonas has also been identified. The codon utilisation of the gene is influenced by the high G + C (67.2%) content of the DNA and exhibits a 92.8% preference for codons ending in G or C. This unusual codon preference may contribute to the generally observed weak expression of Pseudomonas genes in Escherichia coli. A region of DNA upstream of the structural gene has also been sequenced and a ribosome binding site and two putative promoter sequences identified. 相似文献
