Abstract

A propanol-tolerant neutral protease was purified and characterized from Bacillus sp. ZG20 in this study. This protease was purified to homogeneity with a specific activity of 26,655?U/mg. The recovery rate and purification fold of the protease were 13.7% and 31.5, respectively. The SDS-PAGE results showed that the molecular weight of the protease was about 29?kDa. The optimal temperature and pH of the protease were 45?°C and 7.0, respectively. The protease exhibited a good thermal- and pH stability, and was tolerant to 50% propanol. Mg2+, Zn2+, K+, Na+ and Tween-80 could improve its activity. The calculated Km and Vmax values of the protease towards α-casein were 12.74?mg/mL and 28.57?µg/(min mL), respectively. This study lays a good foundation for the future use of the neutral protease from Bacillus sp. ZG20.  相似文献

Abstract

Truffles are symbiotic hypogeous edible fungi (form of mushroom) that form filamentous mycelia in their initial phase of the growth cycle as well as a symbiotic association with host plant roots. In the present study, Tuber maculatum mycelia were isolated and tested for extracellular amylase production at different pH on solid agar medium. Furthermore, the mycelium was subjected to submerged fermentation for amylase production under different culture conditions such as variable carbon sources and their concentrations, initial medium pH, and incubation time. The optimized conditions after the experiments included soluble starch (0.5% w/v), initial medium pH of 7.0, and incubation time of 7 days, at room temperature (22?±?2?°C) under static conditions which resulted in 1.41?U/mL of amylase. The amylase thus obtained was further characterized for its biocatalytic properties and found to have an optimum activity at pH 5.0 and a temperature of 50?°C. The enzyme showed good thermostability at 50?°C by retaining 98% of the maximal activity after 100?min of incubation. The amylase activity was marginally enhanced in presence of Cu2+ and Na+ and slightly reduced by K+, Ca2+, Fe2+, Mg2+, Co2+, Zn2+, and Mn2+ ions at 1?mM concentration.  相似文献

Objectives: The aim of the work was the development of a simple method for measuring the plasma prothrombin carbonylation and the study the impact of prothrombin and fibrinogen oxidation on the rate of plasma clotting.

Methods: A new method was based on the ability of prothrombin to be adsorbed by the barium sulfate. It consists of four steps: prothrombin mixing with the water suspension of BaSO4; reaction of 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine with the BaSO4-bound prothrombin; desorption of prothrombin-2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazone complex from BaSO4 in an alkaline medium; neutralization and reading of the optical absorbance of the complex (λ?=?370?nm). The prothrombin/fibrinogen carbonylation and plasma clotting rate in vitro in the presence of reactive oxygen species (ROS)-generating agents (0.05–0.8?mM Fe2+/H2O2) were monitored.

Results: The plasma volume required for measurement of carbonylated prothrombin was 0.4?ml. High level of linearity and reproducibility was observed (r?=?0.9995, P?=?0.0005 – for the protein; r?=?0.9971, P?=?0.0029 – for carbonyls). In the intact rats, the concentration of blood plasma prothrombin was 0.355?±?0.009?mg/ml, and that of carbonyls was 4.94?±?0.09?nmol/mg.

Discussion: Prothrombin and plasma clotting rate was not affected by low concentrations of ROS (0.05–0.2?mM Fe2+/H2O2). The fibrinogen was susceptible to ROS-related effect over all the used range of concentration (0.05–0.8?mM Fe2+/H2O2). Carbonylation of fibrinogen did not affect the plasma clotting activity at low ROS concentration (0.05–0.2?mM Fe2+/H2O2), however it retarded the clotting at higher ROS (0.2–0.8?mM Fe2+/H2O2).  相似文献

The xylanase gene xyn II from Aspergillus usamii E001 was placed under the control of an alcohol oxidase promoter (AOX1) in the plasmid pPIC9K and integrated into the genome of a methylotrophic yeast, P. pastoris GS115, by electroporation. His+ transformants were screened for on the basis of their resistance to G418 and activity assay. A transformant, P. pastoris GSC12, which showed resistance to over 6 mg G418/ml and highest xylanase activity was selected. Recombinant xylanase was secreted by P. pastoris GSC12 24 h after methanol induction of shake-flask cultures, and reached a final yield of 3139. About 68 U/mg 120 h after the induction. The molecular mass of this xylanase was estimated to be 21 kDa by SDS-PAGE. The optimum pH and temperature were 4.2 and 50 °C, respectively. Xylanase was stable below 50 °C and within pH 3.0–7.0. Its activity was increased by EDTA and Co2+ ion and strongly inhibited by Mn2+, Li+ and Ag+ ions. The K m and V max values with birchwood xylan as the substrate were found to be 5.56 mg/ml and 216 μmol/mg/min, respectively. This is the first report on expression and characterization of xylanase from A. usamii in P. pastoris. The hydrolysis products consisted of xylooligosaccharides together with a small amount of xylose. This property made the enzyme attractive for industrial purposes, as relatively pure xylooligosaccharides could be obtained.  相似文献

Abstract

In this work, we describe a process for production of a Pichia pastoris strain which overproduces large quantities of the human glycine receptor. Subsequent purification yielded functional, uniform protein with expression yields of up to 5 mg per liter cell culture. As the wild-type protein is prone to proteolytic degradation, the labile sites were removed by mutagenesis resulting in an intracellular loop 2 deletion mutant with N-terminal modifications. This variant of the receptor is both stable during purification and storage on ice for up to a week as a complex with an antagonist. The quality of the protein is suitable for biophysical characterization and structural studies. The interaction of the agonist glycine and the antagonist strychnine with purified protein was analyzed by isothermal titration calorimetry. Strychnine binding is driven enthalpically with a KD of 138 ± 55 nM, a ΔH of ?9708 ± 1195 cal/mol and a ΔS of ?1.0 ± 4.1 cal/mol/K, whereas glycine binding is driven by entropy with a KD of 3.2 ± 0.8 μM, a ΔH of ?2228 ± 1012 cal/mol and ΔS of 17.7 ± 2.8 cal/mol/K. Strychnine and glycine binding is competitive with a stoichiometry of one ligand molecule to one pentameric glycine receptor.  相似文献

Abstract

The base modified nucleoside dBP, carrying a non-hydrogen-bonding non-shape complementary base was incorporated into oligonucleotides (Brotschi, C.; Häberli, A.; Leumann C.J. Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2001, 40, 3012–3014). This base was designed to coordinate transition metal ions into well defined positions within a DNA double helix. Melting experiments revealed that the stability of a dBP: dBP base couple in a DNA duplex is similar to a dG: dC base pair even in the absence of transition metal ions. In the presence of transition metal ions, melting experiments revealed a decrease in duplex stability which is on a similar order for all metal ions (Mn2+, Cu2+, Zn2+, Ni2+) tested.  相似文献

Abstract

In order to obtain a better fermentation parameter for the production of recombinant Ganoderma lucidum immunomodulatory protein (rFIP-glu), an engineered Pichia pastoris GS115 was investigated on the fermentation time, temperature, methanol concentration and initial pH of media, while immunomodulatory activities of the rFIP-glu was confirmed. L9(33) orthogonal experiment were firstly employed to optimize various fermentation parameters in the shake-flask level. The optimized fermentation parameters were subsequently verified in a 5?L fermenter. Biological activities including cell viability and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) mRNA of the rFIP-glu were evaluated on murine macrophage RAW264.7 cells. The results showed that the yield of rFIP-glu was up to 368.71?μg/ml in the shake-flask, and 613.47?μg/ml in the 5?L fermenter, when the Pichia pastoris was incubated in basic media with the methanol concentration 1.0% and initial pH 6.5, and with constant shaking at 280?rpm for 4?days at 26?°C. In vitro assays of biological activity indicated that rFIP-glu had significant toxicity against RAW264.7 cells, and possessed the ability to induce TNF-α mRNA expression in macrophage RAW264.7 cells. In conclusion, engineered P. pastoris showed a good fermentation property under the optimum fermentation parameters. It could be a candidate industrial strain for further study.  相似文献

Abstract

The NMR study on the interactions of dGpMe (1), MepdG (2) and dG (3) with Mg2+, Zn2+ and Hg2+ ions in D2O solution has shown that binding of softer metal ions to N7 shifts N ? S pseudorotational equilibrium towards N-type conformations. At the same time the population of the anti conformers is slightly increased.  相似文献

The phospholipase c (plc) gene from Bacillus cereus was cloned into the pPICZC vector and integrated into the genome of Pichia pastoris. The phospholipase C (PLC) when expressed in P. pastoris was fused to the -factor secretion signal peptide of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and secreted into a culture medium. Recombinant P. pastoris X-33 had a clear PLC band at 28.5 kDa and produced an extracellular PLC with an activity of 678 U mg–1 protein which was more than a recombinant P. pastoris GS115 (552 U mg–1 protein) or KM71H (539 U mg–1 protein). The PLCs were purified using a HiTrap affinity column with a specific activity of 1335 U mg–1 protein by P. pastoris GS115, 1176 U mg–1 protein by P. pastoris KM71H and 1522 U mg–1 protein by P. pastoris X-33. The three recombinant PLCs had high PLC activity in the low pH range of 4-5 and higher thermal stability (e.g. stable at 75 °C) than the wild-type PLC from B. cereus. Some organic solvents, surfactants and metal ions, e.g. methanol, acetone, Co2+ and Mn2+ etc., also influenced the activity of the recombinant PLCs.  相似文献

Abstract

To develop an efficient biocatalyst to produce optically active (S)-phenyl ethanediol (PED), a carbonyl reductase SCRII and glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase were coexpressed intracellularly in Pichia pastoris. The recombinant enzyme PpSCRII was purified with a specific activity of 8.32 U mg?1, over 36% higher than that of Escherichia coli SCRII. The recombinant cells P. pastoris/SCRIIG catalyzed the reduction of 2-hydroxyacetophenone to give (S)-PED with optical purity of >99% in a yield of 96.3%. The yield was improved by 19.9% and 25.7% over E. coli BL21/SCRII and Candida parapsilosis, respectively, when the reaction duration was shorted from 48 h to 24 h. When using glucose 50 g L?1 as co-substrate, these P. pastoris/SCRIIG cells could be reused ten times and the optical purity and yield of (S)-PED kept at >99% enantiomeric excess and >85%, respectively.  相似文献

Peroxidases are well-known biocatalysts produced by all organisms, especially microorganisms, and used in a number of biotechnological applications. The enzyme DypB from the lignin-degrading bacterium Rhodococcus jostii was recently shown to degrade solvent-obtained fractions of a Kraft lignin. In order to promote the practical use, the N246A variant of DypB, named Rh_DypB, was overexpressed in E. coli using a designed synthetic gene: by employing optimized conditions, the enzyme was fully produced as folded holoenzyme, thus avoiding the need for a further time-consuming and expensive reconstitution step. By a single chromatographic purification step, > 100 mg enzyme/L fermentation broth with a > 90% purity was produced. Rh_DypB shows a classical peroxidase activity which is significantly increased by adding Mn2+ ions: kinetic parameters for H2O2, Mn2+, ABTS, and 2,6-DMP were determined. The recombinant enzyme shows a good thermostability (melting temperature of 63–65 °C), is stable at pH 6–7, and maintains a large part of the starting activity following incubation for 24 h at 25–37 °C. Rh_DypB activity is not affected by 1 M NaCl, 10% DMSO, and 5% Tween-80, i.e., compounds used for dye decolorization or lignin-solubilization processes. The enzyme shows broad dye-decolorization activity, especially in the presence of Mn2+, oxidizes various aromatic monomers from lignin, and cleaves the guaiacylglycerol-β-guaiacyl ether (GGE), i.e., the Cα-Cβ bond of the dimeric lignin model molecule of β-O-4 linkages. Under optimized conditions, 2 mM GGE was fully cleaved by recombinant Rh_DypB, generating guaiacol in only 10 min, at a rate of 12.5 μmol/min mg enzyme.

Abstract

Strain DRP2-19 was detected to produce high yield of glucansucrase in MRS broth, which was identified to be Leuconostoc mesenteroides. In order for industrial glucansucrase production of L. mesenteroides DRP2-19, a one-factor test was conducted, then response surface method was applied to optimize its yield and discover the best production condition. Based on Plackett–Burman (PB) experiment, sucrose, Ca2+, and initial pH were found to be the most significant factors for glucansucrase production. Afterwards, effects of the three main factors on glucansucrase activity were further investigated by central composite design and the optimum composition was sucrose 35.87?g/L, Ca2+ 0.21?mmol/L, and initial pH 5.56. Optimum results showed that glucansucrase activity was increased to 3.94?±?0.43?U/mL in 24?hr fermentation, 2.66-fold higher than before. In addition, the crude enzyme was purified using ammonium sulfate precipitation, ion-exchange chromatography, and gel filtration. The molecular weight of glucansucrase was determined as approximately 170?kDa by Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). The enzyme was purified 15.77-fold and showed a final specific activity of 338.56?U/mg protein.  相似文献

Summary 1H, 15N and 13C resonance assignments are presented for the group II phospholipase A2 (PLA2) from Agkistrodon piscivorus piscivorus. The secondary structure of the enzyme has been inferred from an analysis of coupling constants, interproton distances, chemical shifts, and kinetics of amide exchange. Overall, the secondary structure of this PLA2 is similar to the crystal structure of the homologous group II human nonpancreatic secretory phospholipase [Scott, D.L., White, S.P., Browning, J.L., Rosa, J.J., Gelb, M.H. and Sigler, P.B. (1991) Science, 254, 1007–1010]. In the group I enzyme from porcine pancreas, the amino-terminal helix becomes fully ordered in the ternary complex of enzyme, lipid micelles and inhibitor. The formation of this helix is thought to be important for the increase in activity of phospholipases on aggregated substrates [Van den Berg, B., Tessari, M., Boelens, R., Dijkman, R., De Haas, G.H., Kaptein, R. and Verheij, H.M. (1995) Nature Struct. Biol., 2, 402–406]. However, the group II enzyme from Agkistrodon piscivorus piscivorus possesses a defined and well-positioned aminoterminal helix in the absence of substrate. Therefore, there is a clear difference between the conformations of group I and group II enzymes in solution. These conformational differences suggest that formation of the amino-terminal helix is a necessary, but not sufficient, step in interfacial activation of phospholipases.Abbreviations PLA2 phospholipase A2 - App-D49 phospholipase from Agkistrodon piscivorus piscivorus - NOE nuclear Overhauser effect  相似文献

In this study, iron-chelated poly(hydroxyethyl methacrylate-N-methacryloyl-(l)-glutamic acid) (PHEMAGA/Fe3+) cryogel discs were prepared. The PHEMAGA/Fe3+ cryogel discs were characterized by elemental analysis, scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, swelling tests, and surface area measurements. The PHEMAGA/Fe3+ cryogel discs had large pores ranging from 10 to 100?µm with a swelling degree of 9.36?g H2O/g cryogel. Effects of pH, temperature, initial catalase concentration, and flow rate on adsorption capacity of the PHEMAGA/Fe3+ cryogel discs were investigated. Maximum catalase adsorption capacity (62.6?mg/g) was obtained at pH 7.0, 25°C, and 3?mg/ml initial catalase concentration. The PHEMAGA/Fe3+ cryogel discs were also tested for the purification of catalase from rat liver. After tissue homogenization, purification of catalase was performed using the PHEMAGA/Fe3+ cryogel discs and catalase was obtained with a yield of 54.34 and 16.67 purification fold.  相似文献

Porcine follicle-stimulating hormone (pFSH), comprising α and β subunits, is commonly used to induce superovulation in domestic animals in assisted reproduction technologies; however, the practical application of pFSH is inhibited by the limited efficiency of its production. Recombinant yeast-derived FSH offers a practical alternative; however, the heterologous expression efficiency remains disappointingly low. To improve FSH production in Pichia pastoris, a series of molecular strategies, together with fermentation optimization, were tested in the present study. By comparing clones of the Muts phenotype strain, it was observed that the yield of soluble pFSH increased by approximately 96% in clones of the Mut+ phenotype strain. The protein levels of soluble pFSHβ, which confers biological specificity, increased by approximately 143 and 22% after two kinds of codon optimization strategies, respectively. Moreover, compared with the production of soluble pFSHβ and SUMO-pFSHβ, the production of soluble protein HSA-pFSHβ was significantly improved. Furthermore, the optimum pH and methanol concentration for expressing soluble HSA-pFSH in strain H3-3 were determined as 5.0–6.0 and 1.5–2% in shake-flask, and the yield of soluble HSA-pFSH could reach 40.8 mg/l after purification. In vitro bioactivity assays showed that recombinant HSA-pFSH could efficiently stimulate cAMP synthesis in HEK293 cells expressing porcine FSHR. In conclusion, our results demonstrated that the application of phenotypic selection of aox1 mutants, combined with codon optimization, the choice of fusion partners, and fermentation optimization, considerably increased the yield of pFSH in supernatant of P. pastoris and thus provided a valuable reference for the large-scale recombinant expression of pFSH.

An intracellular S-adenosylmethionine synthetase (SAM-s) was purified from the fermentation broth of Pichia pastoris GS115 by a sequence chromatography column. It was purified to apparent homogeneity by (NH4)2SO4 fractionation (30–60%), anion exchange, hydrophobic interaction, anion exchange and gel filtration chromatography. HPLC showed the purity of purified SAM-s was 91.2%. The enzyme was purified up to 49.5-fold with a final yield of 20.3%. The molecular weight of the homogeneous enzyme was 43.6 KDa, as determined by electro-spray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS). Its isoelectric point was approximately 4.7, indicating an acidic character. The optimum pH and temperature for the enzyme reaction were 8.5 and 35 °C, respectively. The enzyme was stable at pH 7.0–9.0 and was easy to inactivate in acid solution (pH ≤ 5.0). The temperature stability was up to 45 °C. Metal ions, such as, Mn2+ and K+ at the concentration of 5 mM had a slight activation effect on the enzyme activity and the Mg2+ activated the enzyme significantly. The enzyme activity was strongly inhibited by heavy metal ions (Cu2+ and Ag2+) and EDTA. The purified enzyme from the transformed Pichia pastoris synthesized S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) from ATP and l-methionine in vitro with a K m of 120 and 330 μM and V max of 8.1 and 23.2 μmol/mg/min for l-methionine and ATP, respectively.  相似文献

Objectives

This study was aimed at engineering charged residues on the surface of Thermomyces lanuginosus lipase (TLL) to obtain TLL variant with elevated performance for industrial applications.

Results

Site-directed mutagenesis of eight charged amino acids on the TLL surface were conducted and substitutions on the negatively charged residues D111, D158, D165, and E239 were identified with elevated specific activities and biodiesel yields. Synergistic effect was not discovered in the double mutants, D111E/D165E and D165E/E239R, when compared with the corresponding single mutants. One TLL mutant, D165E, was identified with increased specific activity (456.60 U/mg), catalytic efficiency (kcat/Km: 44.14 s?1 mM?1), the highest biodiesel conversion yield (93.56%), and comparable thermostability with that of the TLL.

Conclusions

Our study highlighted the importance of surface charge engineering in improving TLL activity and biodiesel production, and the resulting TLL mutant, D165E, is a promising candidate for biodiesel industry.

Chitosan/cellulose-based beads (CCBs) for the affinity purification of histidine-tagged proteins were prepared from chitosan/cellulose dissolved in ionic liquid as a solvent, and their structures were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and thermogravimetric analysis. The affinity purification was used to separate hexahistidine-tagged (his-tagged) enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) from Escherichia coli. The results showed that Zn2+–CCB exhibited more specific adsorption capacity toward the target protein compared with Ni2+–CCB and Cu2+–CCB. The maximum adsorption of EGFP was 1.84?mg/g of Zn2+–CCB, with 90% purity under the optimized conditions (ionic strength (1.0?M NaCl), pH (7.2) and imidazole concentration (500?mM)). In addition, a regeneration method for the sorbent was further developed by washing with ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid disodium and then reimmobilizing with metal ions. This technique is an alternative method for the purification of his-tagged proteins, making the process more economical, fast, stable, and large batch.  相似文献
