Arginine deiminase (ADI), an arginine-degrading enzyme, has been studied as a potential anti-cancer agent in clinical trials
for the treatment of arginine-auxotrophic tumors, such as hepatocellular carcinomas (HCCs) and melanomas. The arcA gene encoding ADI was cloned from a recently isolated strain Pseudomonas plecoglossicida CGMCC2039. The nucleotide sequence of ADI comprises an ORF of 1,254 bp encoding 417 amino acids. The deduced ADI protein
sequence has a calculated molecular weight of 46.5 kDa and shows 97% and 85% identity to ADIs from P. putida and P. aeruginosa, respectively. The arcA from P. plecoglossicida CGMCC2039 was expressed in Escherichia coli BL21 with a N-terminal His6-tag, and purified to homogeneity. A molecular mass of approximate 49 kDa was confirmed by SDS-PAGE analysis and specific
activity was determined to be 4.76 U/mg (pH 6.0 and 37°C). In vivo activity study showed that the rADI could effectively inhibit
H22 tumor growth at a total dose of 5 U/mouse over a 2-week dosing period. 相似文献

Squamocin, an annonaceous acetogenin (ACG) extracted from Annona cherimolia (Annonaceae), has been shown to increase biofilm production of Pseudomonas plecoglossicida J26 (closely related to P. plecoglossicida), a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon degrading bacterium. PAHs have become priority pollutants for bioremediation due to their carcinogenicity and toxicity. The effect of various stressful stimuli (naphthalene, octanol, HCl, and NaCl) on cell growth, biofilm formation and autoinducer production of P. plecoglossicida were evaluated and compared with the effect of squamocin to establish its mode of action on biofilm formation. All stressors that inhibited growth stimulated autoinducer production while squamocin was growth stimulant at concentrations above 2.5 μg ml−1. Despite structural similarities, squamocin is not an autoinducer agonist. It indirectly stimulates autoinducer production and increases P. plecoglossicida J26 cell growth. This is the first report on an ACG mode of action in the formation of biofilm in a naphthalene-degrading strain. 相似文献

Summary Screening of strains isolated from red wine undergoing malolactic fermentation allowed the identification of lactic acid bacteria able to degrade arginine. A denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis approach, using the rpoB gene as the molecular target, was developed in order to characterize the isolated strains. Several strains were identified as Lactobacillus plantarum and were typed by RAPD-PCR with several randomly designed primers. Almost all of the␣L. plantarum strains identified were able to produce citrulline and ammonia, suggesting that the ability of␣L.␣plantarum to degrade arginine is a common feature in wine. During the characterization of the newly identified L.␣plantarum strains, the presence of genes coding for the arginine deiminase (ADI) pathway was observed in the strains able to produce citrulline, while the lack of this genes was observed in strain unable to produce citrulline. These results suggest that the degradation of arginine in L. plantarum is probably strain-dependent. 相似文献

Two hundred and eighty-eight arsenic-resistant bacteria were isolated by an enrichment culture method from a total of 69 arsenic-contaminated
soil-samples collected from Dantchaeng district in Suphanburi province (47 samples), and from Ron Phiboon district in Nakhon
Sri Thammarat province (22 samples), in Central and Southern Thailand, respectively. Twenty-four of the 288 isolated arsenic-resistant
bacteria were found to be arsenite-oxidizing bacteria. On the basis of their morphological, cultural, physiological, biochemical
and chemotaxonomic characteristics, and supported by phylogenetic analysis based upon their 16S rRNA gene sequences, they
were divided into five groups, within the genera Acinetobacter, Flavobacterium, Pseudomonas, Sinorhizobium and Sphingomonas, respectively. Within genera, phylogenetic analysis using the 16S rRNA gene sequences suggested that they were comprised
of at least ten species, five isolates being closely related to known bacteria (Acinetobacter calcoaceticus NCCB 22016T, Pseudomonas plecoglossicida FPC951T, Ps. knackmussii B13T, Sinorhizobium morelense Lc04T, and Sphingomonas subterranea IFO16086T). The other five proposed species are likely to be new species closely related to Flavobacterium johnsoniae, Sinorhizobium morelense, Acinetobacter calcoaceticus and Pseudomonas plecoglossicida, but this awaits further characterization for confirmation of the taxonomic status. No overlap in isolated species or strains
was observed between the two sites. The strain distribution and characterization are described. 相似文献

A strain utilizing cyclohexylamine as the sole source of carbon and nitrogen, designated NyZ12, was isolated from soil and
identified by 16S rDNA sequencing as Pseudomonas plecoglossicida. This bacterium released ammonia into the medium when grown on cyclohexylamine, and also grows readily on cyclohexanone as
the sole carbon source, suggesting that degradation involves an initial deamination step. 相似文献

Arginine deiminase (ADI), an arginine-degrading enzyme, has been studied as a potential anti-cancer agent for inhibiting arginine-auxotrophic
tumors, such as melanomas and hepatocellular carcinomas. Based on our preliminary results, it was noticed that the optimum
pH of ADI from Pseudomonas plecoglossicida (PpADI) was 6.0, and less than 10% of the activity was retained at pH 7.4 (pH of human plasma). Additionally, the K
m value for wild-type ADI (WT-ADI) was 2.88 mM (pH 6.0), which is over 20 times of the serum arginine level (100–120 μM). These
are two major limitations for PpADI as a potential anti-cancer drug. A highly sensitive and efficient high-throughput screening
strategy based on a modified diacetylmonoxime–thiosemicarbazide method was established to isolate ADI mutants with higher
activity and lower K
m under physiological pH. Three improved mutants was selected from 650 variants after one round of ep-PCR, among which mutant
314 (M314: A128T, H404R, I410L) exhibiting the highest activity. Interestingly, sequence alignment shows that three amino
acid substitutes in M314 are coincident with corresponding residues in ADI from Mycoplasma arginini. The specific activity of M314 (9.02 U/mg) is over 20-fold higher than that of WT-ADI (0.44 U/mg) at pH 7.4, and the K
m value was reduced to 0.65 mM (pH 7.4). Noticeably, the pH optimum was shifted from 6.0 to 6.5 in M314. Homology model of
M314 was constructed to understand the molecular basis of the improved enzymatic properties. This work could provide promising
drug candidate for curing arginine-auxotrophic cancers. 相似文献

A bacterial strain has been isolated from soil contaminated by waste from petrochemical production. Based on its cultural-morphological, physiological-biochemical properties and an analysis of the nucleotide sequence of the 16S rRNA gene and phylogenetic analysis data, the strain was defined as Pseudomonas plecoglossicida 2.4-D. The unique ability of this bacterium to use perfluorooctanyl sulfonate (PFOS) as the only source of carbon and energy is shown. When cultivated in a liquid medium, the strain completely utilizes this substance in 6 days. It is proved that P. plecoglossicida 2.4-D transforms PFOS to perfluoroheptanoic (perfluoroenanthic) acid, while free fluorine ions are released into the medium. Upon introduction into the soil, the strain was capable of PFOS degradation by 75%. The strain P. plecoglossicida 2.4-D is recommended for environmental protection. It can be used in the development of biotechnologies for the transformation (utilization) of fluoroorganic compounds. 相似文献

Of 80 fluorescent pseudomonad strains screened for phosphate solubilization, three strains (BFPB9, FP12 and FP13) showed the
ability to solubilize tri-calcium phosphate (Ca3(PO4)2). During mineral phosphate solubilization, decrease of pH in the culture medium due to the production of organic acids by
the strains was observed. These phosphate solubilizing strains produced indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) and protease as well as
exhibited a broad-spectrum antifungal activity against phytopathogenic fungi. When tested in PCR using the gene-specific primers,
strain BFPB9 showed the presence of hcnBC genes that encode hydrogen cyanide. On the basis of phenotypic traits, 16S rRNA sequence homology and subsequent phylogenetic
analysis, strains BFPB9, FP12 and FP13 were designated as Pseudomonas aeruginosa, P. plecoglossicida and P. mosselii, respectively. Present investigation reports the phosphate solubilization potential and biocontrol ability of new strains
that belong to P. plecoglossicida and P. mosselii. Because of the innate potential of phosphate solubilization, production of siderophore, IAA, protease, cellulase and HCN
strains reported in this study can be used as biofertilizers as well as biocontrol agents. 相似文献

Summary The nucleotide sequence required for a fully functional promoter and operator of the Pseudomonas aeruginosa argF gene (argF
po), the arginine-repressible gene for anabolic ornithine carbamoyltransferase, was defined within a 160 by region. The streptomycin (Sm) resistance genes strAB of plasmid RSF1010 were fused to argF
po. This construct in P. aeruginosa strain PAO conferred resistance to Sm. Mutants of strain PAO were selected which were resistant to Sm in the presence of arginine due to constitutive expression of argF
po
—strAB. These mutants were designated argR. They were unable to grow or grew poorly on arginine or ornithine as the sole carbon and nitrogen source. This growth defect (Aru–/Oru– phenotype) was correlated with a reduced level of N-succinylornithine aminotransferase, an enzyme participating in the major aerobic pathway for arginine and ornithine catabolism in this organism. The argR mutants were classified into four groups by transduction analysis and three argR mutations were mapped on the PAO chromosome. argR9901 and argR9902 were co-transducible with car-9 (at 1 min) and thus close to the oru-310 locus; argR9906 was localized in the oruI (=aru) gene cluster (67 min). Some aru mutants, which have been isolated previously and which produce very low amounts of all enzymes in the arginine succinyltransferase pathway, were unable to repress the argF gene in an arginine medium. Thus, P. aeruginosa PAO appears to have multiple genes that are involved in the regulation of both the anabolic argF and the catabolic aru genes.Abbreviations Arg–

Aeromonas hydrophila CGMCC 0911 isolated from lake water was found to be able to synthesize a polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) copolymer (PHBHHx) consisting of 3-hydroxybutyrate (HB) and 4–6 mol% 3-hydroxyhexanoate (HHx). The wild-type bacterium accumulated 49% PHBHHx containing 6 mol% HHx in terms of cell dry weight (CDW) when grown on lauric acid for 48 h. When A. hydrophila CGMCC 0911 expressed the Acyl-CoA dehydrogenase gene (yafH) of Escherichia coli, the recombinant strain could accumulate 47% PHBHHx, while the HHx content reached 17.4 mol%. The presence of changing glucose concentration in the culture changed the HHx content both in wild type and recombinant A. hydrophila CGMCC 0911. When 5 g l–1 glucose was added to a culture containing 5 g l–1 lauric acid as co-substrate, 45% PHBHHx/CDW consisting of 8.8 mol% HHx was produced by wild-type A. hydrophila CGMCC 0911 compared with only 5% in the absence of glucose. When the recombinant A. hydrophila CGMCC 0911 was grown on a mixed substrate containing lauric acid and 8–10 g l–1 glucose, the HHx content could be further increased to 35.6 mol%. When the glucose concentration exceeded 10 g l–1, cell growth, PHA content and mole percentages of HHx in PHBHHx were significantly reduced. 相似文献

Fungi have been only rarely isolated from glacial ice in extremely cold polar regions and were in these cases considered as random, long-term preserved Aeolian deposits. Fungal presence has so far not been investigated in polar subglacial ice, a recently discovered extreme habitat reported to be inhabited exclusively by heterotrophic bacteria. In this study we report on the very high occurrence (up to 9000 CFU L−1) and diversity of filamentous Penicillium spp. in the sediment-rich subglacial ice of three different polythermal Arctic glaciers (Svalbard, Norway). The dominant species was P. crustosum, representing on the average half of all isolated strains from all three glaciers. The other most frequently isolated species were P. bialowiezense, P. chrysogenum, P. thomii, P. solitum, P. palitans, P. echinulatum, P. polonicum, P. commune, P. discolor, P. expansum, and new Penicillium species (sp. 1). Twelve more Penicillium species were occasionally isolated. The fungi isolated produced consistent profiles of secondary metabolites, not different from the same Penicillium species from other habitats. This is the first report on the presence of large populations of Penicillium spp. in subglacial sediment-rich ice. 相似文献

Aeromonas hydrophila CGMCC 0911 possessing type I polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) synthase (PhaC) produced only PHBHHx from lauric acid but not from
glucose. Medium-chain-length (mcl) PHA was produced from lauric acid or glucose only when PhaC of A. hydrophila was inactivated, indicating the existence of another PHA synthase in the wild type. Using PCR cloning strategy, the potential
PHA synthase gene (phaC
mcl) was obtained from genomic DNA of the wild type and exhibited strong homology to type II PHA synthase genes of Pseudomonas strains. The phaC
mcl gene was PCR subcloned into plasmid pBBR1MCS2 and expressed in a PHA-negative mutant of Pseudomonas putida. Recombinant P. putida synthesized mcl PHA from gluconate or octanoate. This result proved that wild type A. hydrophila possessed another type II PHA synthase, which was responsible for the synthesis of mcl PHA, besides type I PHA synthase. 相似文献

This study characterizes three bacterial strains isolated from plant rhizospheres and evaluates their performance as plant-growth-promoting rhizobacteria. Pseudomonas plecoglossicida strain Pp20 was isolated from the rhizosphere of a date palm in Bechar (Algerian Sahara), Bacillus spec. strain Bt04 isolated from the rhizosphere of pear in Ghardaia (Algerian Sahara) and Lysinibacillus fusiformis strain Lf89 was isolated from the rhizosphere of tomato in Ain Defla (northern Algeria). Their effects on plant growth and development were analyzed in different in vitro cultures: an Arabidopsis thaliana plate assay and two hydroponic systems for Datura stramonium and Datura tatula. Our results show that all strains significantly improve plant growth of the plant species tested and some strains produce a shift in the C/N ratio in A. thaliana. Inoculation had no effect on alkaloid production per gram leaf dry weight in D. stramonium, but specific plant-growth-promoting rhizobacteria interactions may alter the alkaloid composition in the shoot. 相似文献

Five strains (HYY0510-SK04, HYY0511-SK09, HYK0512-SK12, HYK0512-PK04 and HYY0512-PK05) of algicidal bacteria against the harmful
bloom forming diatom Stephanodiscus hantzschii and dinoflagellate Peridinium bipes, were isolated. Among these strains, HYY0510-SK04, HYY0511-SK09 and HYK0512-SK12 have an effective algicidal activity for
S. hantzschii, while HYK0512-PK04 and HYY0512-PK05 have an algicidal effect against P. bipes. Sequence analysis of 16S rDNA showed that HYY0510-SK04 and HYY0511-SK09 were closely related to Acidovorax delafieldii ATCC 17505T. HYK0512-SK12, HYK0512-PK04 and HYY0512-PK05 showed high homology with Variovorax paradoxus IAM 12373T (98.9%), Hydrogenophaga palleronii ATCC 49743T (98.8%) and Pseudomonas plecoglossicida ATCC 700383T (98.3%), respectively. HYY0510-SK04, HYY0511-SK09 and HYK0512-SK12 degraded S. hantzschii cells within two weeks when those bacteria were inoculated at densities of ≥107cells mL−1 to the lag or logarithmic growth phase of the algal culture. HYK0512-PK04 and HYY0512-PK05 degraded more than 90% of P. bipes cells within 14 and 8 days, respectively, when these bacteria were inoculated at densities of ≥107cells mL−1. Among the five bacterial strains, HYK0512-SK12 and HYY0512-PK05 showed the most effective growth inhibition of all the algae
and cyanobacteria tested. Biochemical assays revealed that the main algicidal substance from all isolates were likely to be
extracellular substances. These results indicate that the bacterial strains isolated for this study are potential agents for
the control of harmful algal blooms in eutrophic reservoirs. 相似文献

A novel phytase gene appA, with upstream and downstream sequences from Citrobacter amalonaticus CGMCC 1696, was cloned by degenerate polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and thermal asymmetric interlaced (TAIL) PCR and was
overexpressed in Pichia pastoris. Sequence analysis revealed one open reading frame that consisted of 1311 bp encoding a 436–amino-acid protein, which had
a deduced molecular mass of 46.3 kDa. The phytase appA belongs to the histidine acid phosphatase family and exhibits the highest
identity (70.1%) with C. braakii phytase. The gene was overexpressed in P. pastoris. The secretion yield of recombinant appA protein was accumulated to approximately 4.2 mg·mL−1, and the enzyme activity level reached 15,000 U·mL−1, which is higher than any previous reports. r-appA was glycosylated, as shown by Endo H treatment. r-appA was purified and
characterized. The specific activity of r-appA for sodium phytate was 3548 U·mg−1. The optimum pH and temperature for enzyme activity were 4.5 and 55°C, respectively. r-appA was highly resistant to pepsin
or trypsin treatment. This enzyme could be an economic and efficient alternative to the phytases currently used in the feed
industry. 相似文献

Arginine deiminase (ADI) is a therapeutic protein for cancer therapy of arginine-auxotrophic tumors. However, its application as anticancer drug is hampered by its poor stability under physiological conditions in the bloodstream. Commonly, random PEGylation is being used for increasing the stability of ADI and in turn the improved half-life. However, the traditional random PEGylation usually leads to poor PEGylation efficiency due to the limited number of Lys on the protein surface. To boost the PEGylation efficiency and enhance the stability of ADI further, surface engineering of PpADI (an ADI from Pseudomonas plecoglossicida) to increase the suitable PEGylation sites was carried out. A new in silico approach for increasing the PEGylation sites was developed. The validation of this approach was performed on previously identified PpADI variant M31 to increase potential PEGylation sites. Four Arg residues on the surface of PpADI M31 were selected through three criteria and subsequently substituted to Lys, aiming for providing primary amines for PEGylation. Two out of the four substitutions (R299K and R382K) enhanced the stability of PEGylated PpADI in human serum. The average numbers of PEGylation sites were increased from ~12 (tetrameric PpADI M31, starting point) to ~20 (tetrameric PpADI M36, final variant). Importantly, the PEGylated PpADI M36 after PEGylation exhibited significantly improved Tm values (M31: 40°C; M36: 40°C; polyethylene glycol [PEG]-M31: 54°C; PEG-M36: 64°C) and half-life in human serum (M31: 1.9 days; M36: 2.0 days; PEG-M31: 3.2 days; PEG-M36: 4.8 days). These proved that surface engineering is an effective approach to increase the PEGylation efficiency which therefore enhances the stability of therapeutic enzymes. Furthermore, the PEGylated PpADI M36 represents a highly attractive candidate for the treatment of arginine-auxotrophic tumors. 相似文献

Trehalose synthase (TreS) is an intramolecular transglycosylase. It specially catalyzes the conversion of maltose and trehalose.
In this study, a novel treS gene, which had a length of 1,797 bp and encoded 598 amino acids, was cloned from Arthrobacter aurescens CGMCC 1.1892 and expressed in Escherichia coli. Thin layer chromatography results indicated that it could catalyze the conversion between maltose and trehalose in one step.
However, the ion chromatography results showed that, as a byproduct, about 13% glucose was also produced. The purified recombinant
enzyme had a molecular weight of 68 kDa and showed its optimal activity at 35 °C and pH 6.5. This enzyme was not thermostable,
and its activity was increased by 1 mM Mg2+, Mn2+, and Ca2+ while strongly inhibited by 5 mM Cu2+ and SDS. 相似文献
