The B domain of CGTase has been generally accepted as a domain involved in thermostability. However, limited work has been performed in which entire B domain is substituted with the thermostable counterpart. Using overlap extension PCR, we replaced the B domain of a variant of CGTase Bacillus sp. G1 by six other B domains from thermostable CGTases. Likely due to distortion in the substrate-binding cleft adjacent to the active site, variants with the domain replacements from Thermoanaerobacter, Thermococcus, Thermococcus kodakarensis, Anaerobranca gottschalkii and Pyrococcus furiosus completely lost their catalytic function. A mutant designated Cgt_ET1 with a domain replacement from a Bacillus stearopthermophilus ET1 CGTase was the only variant that retained activity after domain exchange. Both the parental enzyme and the mutant Cgt_ET1 had an identical optimum temperature at 60 °C. The activity half-life was 22 min for the parental CGTase, whereas a marked increase to 57 min was observed for the mutant. Further mutagenesis on Cgt_ET1 was performed at residue 188 by replacing a Phe residue with Tyr. The mutant Cgt_ET1_F188Y displayed a decreased activity half-life of 28 min. Both mutants exhibited a better cyclodextrin-forming ability and a faster turnover rate (kcat) than the parental CGTase. 相似文献

A recombinant strain of Escherichia coli with CYP102A1 gene was developed for the demethylation of colchicine into their derivatives. The CYP102A1 gene responsible for demethylation was isolated from Bacillus megaterium ACBT03 and amplified using suitable primers. The amplified product was cloned into pET28a+ expression vector using host E. coli BL21(DE3) cells. The CYP3A4 (product of CYP102A1 gene) protein expression and other parameters like substrate toxicity, product toxicity and enzyme activity were optimized in shake flasks; and further scaled-up to 5 l bioreactor with 3 l working volume. In 5 l bioreactor, dissolved oxygen (DO) was optimized for maximum specific growth and enhanced 3-demethylated colchicine (3-DMC) production. The optimized conditions from shake flasks were scaled-up to 70 l bioreactor and resulted into ∼80% conversion of 20 mM colchicine in 48 h with a volumetric productivity of 6.62 mg l−1 h−1. Scale-up factors were measured as volumetric oxygen transfer coefficient (kLa) i.e., 56 h−1 and impeller tip velocity (Vtip) i.e., 7.065 m s−1, respectively. The kinetic parameters Km, kcat, and kcat/Km of the CYP3A4 enzyme using colchicine as the substrate were determined to be 271 ± 30 μM, 8533 ± 25 min−1, and 31.49 μM min−1, respectively, when IPTG induced recombinant E. coli culture was used. 相似文献

A thermophilic Bacillus sp. strain AN-7, isolated from a soil in India, produced an extracellular pullulanase upon growth on starch–peptone medium. The enzyme was purified to homogeneity by ammonium sulfate precipitation, anion exchange and gel filtration chromatography. The optimum temperature and pH for activity was 90 °C and 6.0. With half-life time longer than one day at 80 °C the enzyme proves to be thermostable in the pH range 4.5–7.0. The pullulanase from Bacillus strain lost activity rapidly when incubated at temperature higher than 105 °C or at pH lower than 4.5. Pullulanase was completely inhibited by the Hg2+ ions. Ca2+, dithiothreitol, and Mn2+ stimulated the pullulanase activity. Kinetic experiments at 80 °C and pH 6.0 gave Vmax and Km values of 154 U mg−1 and 1.3 mg ml−1. The products of pullulan were maltotriose and maltose. This proved that the purified pullulanase (pullulan-6-glucanohydrolase, EC 3.2.1.41) from Bacillus sp. AN-7 is classified under pullulanase type I. To our knowledge, this Bacillus pullulanase is the most highly thermostable type I pullulanase known to date. 相似文献

Biosurfactants, in general has the potential to aid in the recovery of subsurface organic contaminants (environmental remediation) or crude oils (oil recovery). However, high production and purification costs limit its use in these high-volume applications. In the present study, the efficiency of two Bacillus subtilis strains viz., DM-03 and DM-04 for the production of biosurfactants in two fermentation systems viz., solid state fermentation (SSF) and submerged fermentation (SmF) was compared. Both the B. subtilis strains produced appreciable and equal amount of crude lipopeptide biosurfactants (B. subtilis DM-03: 80.0 ± 9 mg/gds in SmF and 67.0 ± 6 mg/gds in SSF; B. subtilis DM-04: 23.0 ± 5.0 mg/gds in SmF and 20.0 ± 2.5 mg/gds in SSF) in the two different fermentation systems using potato peels as cheap carbon source. These thermostable lipopeptide biosurfactants produced by B. subtilis strains either in SSF or in SmF, exhibited strong emulsifying property and could release appreciable amount of oil from saturated sand pack column. Further, it was shown by biochemical analysis, RP-HPLC profile and IR spectra that there is no qualitative and qualitative differences in the composition of crude biosurfactants produced either in SmF or in SSF system. 相似文献

The use of harpins in practical agricultural applications may enhance plant growth and induce disease resistance. However, few investigations focused on the optimal expression and purification of harpin. In this work, harpin protein fused with a thioredoxin tag and a hexahistidine tag was expressed in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3) cells as a soluble form under the induction of 0.5 mmol/L isopropyl β-D-1-thiogalactopyranoside. The purity of the recombinant harpin was greater than 90% after one-step nickel-nitrilotriacetic acid affinity chromatography. The yield of purified TRX-harpin protein reached 17.1 mg per 100 mL of cell culture. TRX-harpin is thermostable and could trigger the hypersensitive response effect in tobacco, with an efficient dose as low as 30 μg/mL. The root lengths of TRX-harpin treated tobacco and wheat plants were nearly 1.6-fold and 1.8-fold longer, respectively, than plants treated with the empty vector preparation. Thus, using a N-terminal TRX-tagged fusion is an economic way to produce bioactive harpin. 相似文献

An extracellular thermostable α-galactosidase from Aspergillus parasiticus MTCC-2796 was purified 16.59-fold by precipitation with acetone, followed by sequential column chromatography with DEAE-Sephadex A-50 and Sephadex G-100. The purified enzyme was homogeneous on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). It was found to be a monomeric protein with a molecular weight of about 67.5 kDa. The purified enzyme showed optimum activity against o-nitrophenyl-α-d-galactopyranoside (oNPG) at pH 5.0 and a temperature of 50 °C. The enzyme was thermostable, showing complete activity even after heating at 65 °C for 30 min. The enzyme showed strict substrate specificity for α-galactosides and hydrolyzed oNPG (Km = 0.83 mM), melibiose (Km = 2.48 mM) and raffinose (Km = 5.83 mM). Among metal ions and reagents tested, Ca2+ and K+ enhanced the enzymatic activity, but Mg2+, Mn2+, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) and 2-mercaptoethanol showed no effect, while Ag+, Hg2+ and Co2+ strongly inhibited the activity of the enzyme. The enzyme catalyzed the transglycosylation reaction for the synthesis of melibiose. 相似文献

The genes encoding glycerol dehydratase were cloned and characterized by genomic DNA from Klebsiella pneumoniae XJPD-Li, and the assigned accession number EF634063 was available from the GenBank database. The DNA sequence analysis showed that the clone included three ORFs (dhaB, dhaC and dhaE, encoding α, β and γ subunit of glycerol dehydratase, respectively). Among three subunits of glycerol dehydratase, amino acid residues H13, S193, N359, E407, and M515 of α subunit, N47, L150, V189 of β subunit are different with what had been reported. Subsequently, the expression vector was constructed and transformed into E. coli BL21, and the colony carried genes of glycerol dehydratase were selected. SDS-PAGE examination showed that the three subunits were well expressed. The specific activity of recombined glycerol dehydratase reached to 0.299 U mg?1, which was about 3 times comparing with that of the wild strain. The research also displayed that both glycerol and O2 could inactive the glycerol dehydratase expressed in E. coli quickly in 10 min. The inactivated glycerol dehydratase could be effectively reactivated under the system as follows: the concentration of ATP, Mg2+ and coenzyme B12 were 50 mM, 10 mM and 3 μM, respectively, when the ratio (W/W) of glycerol dehydratase to reactivation factor was 4:1. The O2-inactivated and glycerol-inactivated dehydratase could be reactivated to 97.3% and 98.9% of initial activity in 10 min in above-mentioned conditions, respectively. The reactivation factor together with ATP was considered as the “ON/OFF” reactivating condition. 相似文献

A xylanase gene (xyl11B) was cloned from Bispora sp. MEY-1 and expressed in Pichia pastoris. xyl11B, with a 66-bp intron, encodes a mature protein of 219 residues with highest identity (57.1%) to the Trichoderma reesei xylanase of glycoside hydrolase family 11. The purified recombinant XYL11B was acidophilic, exhibiting maximum activity at pH 2.6 and 65 °C. The enzyme was also thermostable, pH stable, and was highly resistant to both pepsin and trypsin, suggesting good performance in the digestive tract as a feed supplement to improve animal nutrition. The activity of XYL11B was enhanced by most metal ions but was inhibited weakly by Hg2+, Pb2+and Cu2+, which strongly inhibit many other xylanases. The specific activity of XYL11B for oat spelt xylan substrate was 2049 U mg?1. The main hydrolysis products of xylan were xylose and xylobiose. 相似文献

Functional expression of a thermostable phytase from A. niger was achieved in Kluyveromyces lactis GG799 cells. Effective secretion of recombinant enzyme (198 U ml−1) in the fermentation broth at 72 h incubation at 22 °C was obtained. Purified enzyme showed a specific activity of 72 U mg−1) and was detected on SDS-PAGE as a heavily glycosylated protein with a molecular weight of ≥140 kDa. Optimum temperature of the enzyme was at 55 °C and it showed a characteristic bi-hump pH profile with two pH optima (at pH 2.5 and 5.5). Enzyme showed considerable pepsin resistance with 60% activity retention after incubation with pepsin at the ratio of 1:1000. Enzyme was thermostable retaining 69 and 37% activity at 90 and 100 °C for 10 min respectively and remained active at these temperatures till 1 h. Deglycosylation studies demonstrated negligible effect of N-linked glycans on thermal properties. Multiple sequence alignment data revealed a conserved Asn at position 345 of this phytase which might contribute to its thermal properties. This thermostable phytase coupled with its noticeable protease resistance could be a better alternative to current commercial phytases. 相似文献

Nerolidol is a sesquiterpene present in the essential oils of many plants, approved by the U.S. FDA as a food flavoring agent. Nerolidol interferes with the isoprenoid biosynthetic pathway in the apicoplast of P. falciparum. In the present study, the in vitro growth of four Babesia species was significantly (P < 0.05) inhibited in the presence of nerolidol (IC50s values = 21 ± 1, 29.6 ± 3, 26.9 ± 2, and 23.1 ± 1 µM for B. bovis, B. bigemina, B. ovata, and B. caballi, respectively). Parasites from treated cultures failed to grow in the subsequent viability test at a concentration of 50 µM. Nerolidol significantly (P < 0.05) inhibited the growth of B. microti at the dosage of 10 and 100 mg/kg BW, while the inhibition was low compared with the high doses used. Therefore, nerolidol could not be used as a chemotherapeutic drug for babesiosis. 相似文献

Bacillus sp. CSB39, isolated from popular traditional Korean food (Kimchi), produced a low molecular weight, thermostable mannanase (MnCSB39); 571.14 U/mL using locust bean gum galactomannan as a major substrate. It was purified to homogeneity using a simple and effective two-step purification strategy, Sepharose CL-6B and DEAE Sepharose Fast Flow, which resulted in 25.47% yield and 19.32-fold purity. The surfactant-, NaCl-, urea-, and protease-tolerant monomeric protein had a mass of ∼30 kDa as analyzed by SDS-PAGE and galactomannan zymography. MnCSB39 was found to have optimal activity at pH 7.5 and temperature of 70 °C. The enzyme showed ˃55% activity at 5.0–15% (w/v) NaCl, and ˃93% of the initial activity after incubation at 37 °C for 60 min. Trypsin and proteinase K had no effect on MnCBS39. The enzyme showed ˃80% activity in up to 3 M urea. The N-terminal amino acid sequence, ALKGDGX, did not show identity with reported mannanases, which suggests the novelty of our enzyme. Activation energy for galactomannan hydrolysis was 26.85 kJmol−1 with a Kcat of 142.58 × 104 s−1. MnCSB39 had Km and Vmax values of 0.082 mg/mL and 1099 ± 1.0 Umg−1, respectively. Thermodynamic parameters such as ΔH, ΔG, ΔS, Q10, ΔGE-S, and ΔGE-T supported the spontaneous formation of products and the high hydrolytic efficiency and feasibility of the enzymatic reaction, which strengthen its novelty. MnCSB39 activity was affected by metal ions, modulators, chelators, and detergents. Mannobiose was the principal end-product of hydrolysis. Bacillus subtilis CSB39 produced a maximum of 1524.44 U mannanase from solid state fermentation of 1 g wheat bran. MnCSB39 was simple to purify, was active at a wide pH and temperature range, multi-stress tolerant and catalyzes a thermodynamically possible reaction, characteristics that suggests its suitability for application as an industrial biocatalyst. 相似文献

A β-glucosidase gene from Putranjiva roxburghii (PRGH1) was heterologously expressed in Saccharomyces cerevisiae to enable growth on cellobiose. The recombinant enzyme was secreted to the culture medium, purified and biochemically characterized. The enzyme is a glycoprotein with a molecular weight of ∼68 kDa and exhibited enzymatic activity with β‐linked aryl substrates like pNP-Fuc, pNP-Glc, pNP-Gal and pNP-Cel with catalytic efficiency in that order. Significant enzyme activity was observed for cellobiose, however the enzyme activity was decreased with increase in chain length of glycan substrates. Using cellobiose as substrate, the enzyme showed optimal activity at pH 5.0 and 65 °C. The enzyme was thermostable up to 75 °C for 60 min. The enzyme showed significant resistance towards both glucose and ethanol induced inhibition. The recombinant S. cerevisiae strain showed advantages in cell growth, glucose and bio-ethanol production over the native strain with cellobiose as sole carbon source. In simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) experiments, the recombinant strain was used for bio-ethanol production from two different cellulosic biomass sources. At the end of the SSF, we obtained 9.47 g L−1 and 14.32 g L−1 of bio-ethanol by using carboxymethyl cellulose and pre-treated rice straw respectively. This is first report where a β-glucosidase gene from plant origin has been expressed in S. cerevisiae and used in SSF. 相似文献

Amidase was a crucial enzyme responsible for the conversion of acrylamide to acrylic acid in Rhodococcus erythropolis. Its coding gene ami was amplified by PCR using the genomic DNA of R. erythropolis as template. Subsequently, it was ligated to expression plasmids and transformed in Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) analysis revealed that both recombinant E. coli BL21 (DE3) and B. subtilis generated amidase of 56 kDa. The expression mass and enzyme activity suggested that B. subtilis was more suitable as a host when ami gene was under the control of a powerful promoter. To further study the expression effect of different promoters in B. subtilis, five distinct promoters (sacB, amyE, p43, degQ, aprE) and their native signal peptide genes were employed to separately construct five different vectors harboring ami gene. Of the five novel vectors, the amyE promoter along with its native signal peptide gene was most effective. The maximum specific activity of amidase at pH 7.0 and 37 °C was about 8.7 U/mg and the conversion efficiency could approximately reach 90% within 6 h. This result indicated the expression difference of distinct promoters, which provided the basis for the forthcoming research. 相似文献

Low exoglucanase and endoglucanase activities of marine Aspergillus niger cellulase decreased the hydrolyzing ability of cellulase. To increase the activity of halostable cellulase obtained from a marine A. niger, a cellulase with endoglucanase and exoglucanase activity was efficiently expressed by constructing a vector with promoter glaA. Exoglucanase and endoglucanase activities increased from 0.21 and 4.51 U/ml of the original strain to 0.89 U/ml and 15.12 U/ml of the transformant, respectively. Filter paper activity (FPA) increased by 7.1 folds from 0.63 to 4.47 U/ml. The release of glucose by hydrolysis of wheat straw with cellulase from the transformant was 1.37 folds higher than that with cellulase from the original strain under high salinity condition. Cellulase with endoglucanase and exoglucanase activities could be well expressed in marine A. niger. The cellulase from the transformant not only showed higher activity, but also retained halostability. An appreciate proportion of β-glucosidase, exoglucanase, endgolucanasein cellulase was important for hydrolyzing cellulose. 相似文献

A combined promoter expression vector pBV–PAL for high-level expression of phenylalanine ammonia lyase gene of Rhodosporidium toruloides was constructed. Pal gene was cloned and inserted into the region between SalI and PstI restriction sites of expression vector pBV220 (containing PLPR promoter) to obtain recombinant expression vector pBV220–PAL. The tac promoter obtained from the plasmid pKtac was inserted into the expression vector pBV220–PAL to construct expression vector pBV–PAL. The recombinant plasmid pBV220–PAL and pBV–PAL were introduced into Escherichia coli JM109 by transformation. The result showed that the transformant E. coli JM109 (pBV–PAL) gave a much higher PAL activity than that transformant E. coli JM109 (pBV220–PAL). Recombinant PAL expression level of the transformant JM109 (pBV–PAL) was about 9.6% of total cellular protein, specific enzyme activity was 2.3-fold higher than that of the transformant JM109 (pBV220–PAL), reached 35 U/g (dry cells weight, DCW). PAL specific activity of 123 U/g (DCW) could be achieved in a 5-l fermentor. 80.5% conversion rate of trans-cinnamic acid to l-phenylalanine and 5.12 g/l l-phenylalanine were obtained after 3 h bioconversion using the transformant JM109 (pBV–PAL). The recombinant strain JM109 containing the combined promoter expression vector pBV–PAL was shown to be effective and practical to product l-phenylalanine. 相似文献

The lipase secreted by Burkholderia cepacia ATCC 25416 was particularly attractive in detergent and leather industry due to its specific characteristics of high alkaline and thermal stability. The lipase gene (lipA), lipase chaperone gene (lipB), and native promoter upstream of lipA were cloned. The lipA was composed of 1095 bp, corresponding to 364 amino acid residues. The lipB located immediately downstream of lipA was composed of 1035 bp, corresponding to 344 amino acid residues. The lipase operon was inserted into broad host vector pBBRMCS1 and electroporated into original strain. The homologous expression of recombinant strain showed a significant increase in the lipase activity. LipA was purified by three-step procedure of ammonium sulfate precipitation, phenyl-sepharose FF and DEAE-sepharose FF. SDS-PAGE showed the molecular mass of the lipase was 33 kDa. The enzyme optimal temperature and pH were 60 °C and 11.0, respectively. The enzyme was stable at 30–70 °C. After incubated in 70 °C for 1 h, enzyme remained 72% of its maximal activity. The enzyme exhibited a good stability at pH 9.0–11.5. The lipase preferentially hydrolyzed medium-chain fatty acid esters. The enzyme was strongly activated by Mg2+, Ca2+, Cu2+, Zn2+, Co2+, and apparently inhibited by PMSF, EDTA and also DTT with SDS. The enzyme was compatible with various ionic and non-ionic surfactants as well as oxidant H2O2. The enzyme had good stability in the low- and non-polar solvents. 相似文献

Numerous species of soil bacteria which flourish in the rhizosphere of plants or around plant tissues stimulate plant growth and reduce nematode population by antagonistic behavior. These bacteria are collectively known as PGPR (plant growth promoting rhizobacteria). The effects of six isolates of PGPR Pseudomonas putida, Pseudomonas fluorescens, Serratia marcescens, Bacillus amyloliquefaciens, Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus cereus, were studied on tomato plant growth and root knot nematode reproduction after 45 days from nematode infection. The highest number of shoot dry weight/g (43.00 g) was detected in the plant treated with S. marcescens; then P. putida (34.33 g), B. amyloliquefaciens (31.66 g), P. fluorescens (30.0 g), B. subtilis (29.0 g), B. cereus (27.0 g) and nematode alone (untreated) 20 g/plant. While the highest number of plant height was observed when plant was treated with S. marcescens, P. fluorescens, P. putida, B. amyloliquefaciens and P. putida 52.66, 50.66, 48 and 48 cm respectively. No significant differences were seen between previous treatments but only had significant differences compared with untreated plant. The highest number of fruit/plant was observed when plants were treated with S. marcescens (10.66), then B. amyloliquefaciens (8.66), P. putida (8), P. fluorescens (8) and B. cereus (7.66). No significant differences between the last 4 treatments, but all had significant differences compared with untreated plants. The highest weight of plant yield (g) was observed with S. marcescens (319.6 g/plant) and the lowest weight of plant yield was observed in plants treated with nematode alone (untreated). On the other hand, the lowest numbers of J2/10 g of soil (78), galls/root, (24.33) galls/root, egg masses/root (12.66) and egg/egg masses were observed in the plants treated with S. marcescens. 相似文献
