A strong promoter P1 has been found in plasmid pUL340, a cloning vector used to transform corynebacteria. This promoter is also expressed efficiently in Escherichia coli. A gene (cat) for chloramphenicol acetyltransferase from Streptomyces acrimycini and a gene (hyg) for hygromycin phosphotransferase from Streptomyces hygroscopicus were subcloned in different positions of the Brevibacterium lactofermentum plasmid pUL340. Both resistance genes are expressed in B. lactofermentum from their own promoters or from the endogenous promoter in pUL340. These genes provide useful screening markers for selecting transformants of B. lactofermentum together with the kanamycin-resistance gene from the transposon Tn5.  相似文献

A gene bank from the amino acid producer Brevibacterium lactofermentum has been prepared in Escherichia coli using pBR322 as vector. Four clones containing genetic information needed to complement mutations in A,B,C and D genes from E. coli have been isolated. The cloned fragments range between 4.3 kb (pULT61) and 7.9 kb (pULT62). All the four clones contain genetic information that complements trpB gene from E. coli. The cloned trpB gene is very stable and is maintained extrachromosomally in E. coli. It is expressed very efficiently showing high levels of tryptophan synthetase activity.  相似文献

The xylanase ( xysA) and the cellulase ( celA1) genes from Streptomyces halstedii JM8 were cloned into Escherichia coli/ Brevibacterium lactofermentum shuttle vectors and successfully expressed in both hosts when placed downstream from the kanamycin resistance promoter (Pkan) from Tn 5 but not when under the control of their own promoters. Xylanase was secreted into the culture media of B. lactofermentum by removal of the same leader peptide as is removed in S. halstedii. The main difference between the production of xylanase by Streptomyces and corynebacteria was the low level of processing of the mature extracellular xylanase by B. lactofermentum, probably due to the lack of protease activity in this microorganism.  相似文献

The goal of this study was to investigate the likelihood of developing useful transformation systems for coryneform bacteria. Two species of coryneform bacteria, Brevibacterium lactofermentum and Corynebacterium lilium, were transformed with chimeras constructed from pUB110 and a cryptic coryneform plasmid (pGX1901). C. lilium protoplasts were also efficiently transfected with phage CS1 DNA. High transformation and transfection frequencies were obtained after only 2 min of lysozyme treatment of lysozyme-sensitive mutants. A series of experiments was also conducted to determine whether DNA from other species of important industrial microbes from the genus Bacillus could be expressed in coryneform bacteria. Evidence of restriction of Bacillus subtilis DNA by B. lactofermentum was observed but could be overcome. A Bacillus amyloliquefaciens alpha-amylase gene (amyEBamP) was subcloned onto a plasmid able to replicate in B. lactofermentum. B. lactofermentum transformants for this plasmid expressed amylase activity and produced material cross-reactive to amylase antibody.  相似文献

Endoglucanase C (CenC) from Cellulomonas fimi binds to cellulose and to Sephadex. The enzyme has two contiguous 150-amino-acid repeats (N1 and N2) at its N-terminus and two unrelated contiguous 100-amino-acid repeats (C1 and C2) at its C-terminus. Polypeptides corresponding to N1, N1N2, C1, and C1C2 were produced by expression of appropriate cenC gene fragments in Escherichia coli. N1N2, but not N1 alone, binds to Sephadex; both polypeptides bind to Avicel, (a heterogeneous cellulose preparation containing both crystalline and non-crystalline components). Neither C1 nor C1C2 binds to Avicel or Sephadex. N1N2 and N1 bind to regenerated ('amorphous') cellulose but not to bacterial crystalline cellulose; the cellulose-binding domain of C. fimi exoglucanase Cex binds to both of these forms of cellulose. Amino acid sequence comparison reveals that N1 and N2 are distantly related to the cellulose-binding domains of Cex and C. fimi endoglucanases A and B.  相似文献

以北京棒杆菌(Corynebacterium pekinense)野生株AS1.299和突变株PD-67的基因组为模板,用PCR方法扩增了邻氨基苯甲酸合成酶(AS)基因(trpEG)片段和前端控制序列。核酸序列分析结果表明,该片段全长3374bp,包含3个ORF,推测分别为前导肽基因trpL、AS componentⅠ基因trpE和AS componentⅡ基因trpG。C.pekinense野生株AS1.299与突变株PD-67相比较,trpL基因完全一样;trpE基因有6个碱基的突变,导致了5个氨基酸残基的改变;trpG基因有1个碱基的突变,导致了1个氨基酸残基的改变;同时它们在-35序列处还有一个A→G的突变。通过同源性比较发现,C.pekinense AS1.299与Corynebacterium glutamicum ATCC13032和Brevibacterium lactofermentum的亲缘关系是很近的。trpL基因上游存在启动子区域,并能被Escherichiacoli的RNA聚合酶所识别,实现异源互补。野生型和突变型AS基因在C.pekinense AS1.299和PD-67中都得到表达,并且重组菌相对于宿主菌的酶活都有了很大提高。摇瓶发酵实验结果表明,带有突变型AS基因的PD-67重组菌生长比较慢,稳定期比PD-67推迟24h,但产生的L-色氨酸比PD-67高22.39%。  相似文献

Structure of the gene encoding the exoglucanase of Cellulomonas fimi   总被引:29,自引:0,他引:29

In Cellulomonas fimi the cex gene encodes an exoglucanase (Exg) involved in the degradation of cellulose. The gene now has been sequenced as part of a 2.58-kb fragment of C. fimi DNA. The cex coding region of 1452 bp (484 codons) was identified by comparison of the DNA sequence to the N-terminal amino acid (aa) sequence of the Exg purified from C. fimi. The Exg sequence is preceded by a putative signal peptide of 41 aa, a translational initiation codon, and a sequence resembling a ribosome-binding site five nucleotides (nt) before the initiation codon. The nt sequence immediately following the translational stop codon contains four inverted repeats, two of which overlap, and which can be arranged in stable secondary structures. The codon usage in C. fimi appears to be quite different from that of Escherichia coli. A dramatic (98.5%) bias occurs for G or C in the third position for the 35 codons utilized in the cex gene.  相似文献

The Brevibacterium lactofermentum genes which complement Escherichia coli lysA and asd-1 mutants were identified, respectively, as a 1.9-kilobase PstI-ClaI fragment and a 2.5-kilobase PstI fragment by cloning into pBR325. Southern blot transfers show hybridization to chromosomal fragments of identical size. The putative B. lactofermentum asd and lysA products are 44 and 48 kilodaltons, respectively.  相似文献

The cenC gene of Cellulomonas fimi, encoding endoglucanase CenC, has an open reading frame of 1101 codons closely followed by a 9 bp inverted repeat. The predicted amino acid sequence of mature CenC, which is 1069 amino acids long, is very unusual in that it has a 150-amino-acid tandem repeat at the N-terminus and an unrelated 100-amino-acid tandem repeat at the C-terminus. CenC belongs to subfamily E1 of the beta-1,4-glycanases. High-level expression in Escherichia coli of cenC from a 3.6 kbp fragment of C. fimi DNA leads to levels of CenC which exceed 10% of total cell protein. Most of the CenC is in the cytoplasm in an inactive form. About 60% of the active fraction of CenC is in the periplasm. The catalytic properties of the active CenC are indistinguishable from those of native CenC from C. fimi. The Mr of CenC from E. coli and C. fimi is approximately 130 kDa. E. coli and C. fimi also produce an endoglucanase, CenC', of approximate Mr 120kDa and with the same N-terminal amino acid sequence and catalytic properties as CenC. CenC' appears to be a proteolytic product of CenC. CenC and CenC' can bind to cellulose and to Sephadex. CenC is the most active component of the C. fimi cellulase system isolated to date.  相似文献

Mannan-degrading enzymes from Cellulomonas fimi.   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
The genes man26a and man2A from Cellulomonas fimi encode mannanase 26A (Man26A) and beta-mannosidase 2A (Man2A), respectively. Mature Man26A is a secreted, modular protein of 951 amino acids, comprising a catalytic module in family 26 of glycosyl hydrolases, an S-layer homology module, and two modules of unknown function. Exposure of Man26A produced by Escherichia coli to C. fimi protease generates active fragments of the enzyme that correspond to polypeptides with mannanase activity produced by C. fimi during growth on mannans, indicating that it may be the only mannanase produced by the organism. A significant fraction of the Man26A produced by C. fimi remains cell associated. Man2A is an intracellular enzyme comprising a catalytic module in a subfamily of family 2 of the glycosyl hydrolases that at present contains only mammalian beta-mannosidases.  相似文献

Cellulomonas fimi genomic DNA encoding xylanase activity has been cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli. As judged by DNA hybridization and restriction analysis, twelve xylanase-positive clones carried a minimum of four different xylanase (xyn) genes. The encoded enzymes were devoid of cellulase activity but three of the four bound to Avicel.  相似文献

Corynebacterium glutamicum is known to excrete large amounts of L-glutamic acid upon treatment by penicillin. However, the mechanism of L-glutamate overproduction by penicillin treatment is still unknown. A 5.3-kb HindIII fragment was isolated by directly introducing the C. glutamicum (Brevibacterium lactofermentum) ATCC 13869 gene library into the temperature-sensitive Escherichia coli murE mutant and selecting temperature resistant clones. Two open reading frames (ORFs) were found in this fragment: (1) murE, encoding UDP-N-acetylmuramoyl-L-alanyl-D-glutamate:meso-diaminopimelate ligase, and (2)ftsI, encoding septum-peptidoglycan synthetase, one of the targets of penicillin (penicillin-binding protein 3). Both ORFs were involved in peptidoglycan synthesis. Proteins were synthesized from the C. glutamicum murE and ftsI genes, 55 kDa and 73 kDa respectively, in an in vitro protein synthesis system, using E. coli S30 extracts.  相似文献
