Production of a heterologous nonheme catalase by Lactobacillus casei: an efficient tool for removal of H2O2 and protection of Lactobacillus bulgaricus from oxidative stress in milk

Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are generally sensitive to H2O2, a compound that they can paradoxically produce themselves, as is the case for Lactobacillus bulgaricus. Lactobacillus plantarum ATCC 14431 is one of the very few LAB strains able to degrade H2O2 through the action of a nonheme, manganese-dependent catalase (hereafter called MnKat). The MnKat gene was expressed in three catalase-deficient LAB species: L. bulgaricus ATCC 11842, Lactobacillus casei BL23, and Lactococcus lactis MG1363. While the protein could be detected in all heterologous hosts, enzyme activity was observed only in L. casei. This is probably due to the differences in the Mn contents of the cells, which are reportedly similar in L. plantarum and L. casei but at least 10- and 100-fold lower in Lactococcus lactis and L. bulgaricus, respectively. The expression of the MnKat gene in L. casei conferred enhanced oxidative stress resistance, as measured by an increase in the survival rate after exposure to H2O2, and improved long-term survival in aerated cultures. In mixtures of L. casei producing MnKat and L. bulgaricus, L. casei can eliminate H2O2 from the culture medium, thereby protecting both L. casei and L. bulgaricus from its deleterious effects.

Food-grade host/vector expression system for <Emphasis Type="Italic">Lactobacillus casei</Emphasis> based on complementation of plasmid-associated phospho-β-galactosidase gene <Emphasis Type="Italic">lacG</Emphasis>

A new food-grade host/vector system for Lactobacillus casei based on lactose selection was constructed. The wild-type non-starter host Lb. casei strain E utilizes lactose via a plasmid-encoded phosphotransferase system. For food-grade cloning, a stable lactose-deficient mutant was constructed by deleting a 141-bp fragment from the phospho-beta-galactosidase gene lacG via gene replacement. The deletion resulted in an inactive phospho-beta-galactosidase enzyme with an internal in-frame deletion of 47 amino acids. A complementation plasmid was constructed containing a replicon from Lactococcus lactis, the lacG gene from Lb. casei, and the constitutive promoter of pepR for lacG expression from Lb. rhamnosus. The expression of the lacG gene from the resulting food-grade plasmid pLEB600 restored the ability of the lactose-negative mutant strain to grow on lactose to the wild-type level. The vector pLEB600 was used for expression of the proline iminopeptidase gene pepI from Lb. helveticus in Lb. casei. The results show that the food-grade expression system reported in this paper can be used for expression of foreign genes in Lb. casei.     

Selective enumeration of Lactobacillus casei in yoghurt-type fermented milks based on a 15°C incubation temperature

A procedure was developed to enumerate selectively Lactobacillus casei populations in yoghurt-type fermented milks that can also contain strains of Streptococcus thermophilus, Lactobacillus delbrueckii ssp. bulgaricus, Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacterium infantis. Commercial LBS agar was acidified to pH 5.4, and the plates were incubated at 15°C for 14 days under anaerobic conditions. Acidification prevented the development of streptococci, and incubation at 15°C limited the development of the lactobacilli and the bifidobacteria. L. casei formed colonies on HHD medium which were different from those obtained with L. bulgaricus. Counts of L. casei on HHD confirmed results obtained on LBS - pH 5.4 medium and incubated at 15°C. L. casei did not form colonies on M17, nor did L. acidophilus or L. bulgaricus.     

应用双向荧光差异凝胶技术解析干酪乳杆菌Lactobacillus casei Zhang驯化菌株耐酸胁迫机制

以干酪乳杆菌Lactobacillus casei Zhang为出发菌株,通过适应性进化获得了干酪乳杆菌酸胁迫抗性驯化菌株.对细胞内微环境的检测发现,驯化菌株在酸胁迫过程中能够维持较高的磷酸烯醇式丙酮酸-糖转移酶系统活力,并具有较高的H+ -ATPase活性以及胞内ATP浓度.蛋白质组学分析结果表明,酸胁迫引发了细胞蛋白表达的变化,与原始菌株相比,驯化菌株保持了更高的代谢活性;同时,驯化菌株通过大量诱导应激蛋白如分子伴侣GroEL、GrpE,冷/热应激蛋白CspC、DnaK等维持了细胞的生理活性,有效提高了细胞对酸胁迫的抵御能力.本研究为进一步揭示酸胁迫下乳酸菌细胞的生理应答机制,探寻促进乳酸菌酸胁迫性能提升的最优策略,进而改善其在生产中的应用性能提供了可借鉴的思路.     

交互保护对干酪乳杆菌ATCC 393~(TM)存活的影响

【目的】以干酪乳杆菌典型株ATCC 393TM(Lactobacillus casei ATCC 393TM)为实验菌株,研究其在多重胁迫环境下的交互保护应答机制。【方法】比较不同亚适应条件(热、H2O2、酸、胆盐)处理后菌体细胞在热致死条件(60℃)及氧致死条件H2O2(5mmol/L)下的存活率变化,并集中考察了最佳亚适应条件-酸适应的不同处理方式对细胞交互保护存活率、胞内pH以及脂肪酸含量的影响。【结果】交互保护对干酪乳杆菌ATCC393生理活性的影响因亚适应及致死条件而异:酸胁迫预适应能够显著提高细胞的交互胁迫抗性,其中,盐酸预适应的交互保护效果优于乳酸,其预适应引发的生理应答效应使细胞在应对热致死和氧致死胁迫时存活率分别提高了305倍和173倍;进一步的研究表明,酸预适应提高细胞存活率的作用机制可能与其能够显著改善胁迫环境下的胞内pH和细胞膜脂肪酸不饱和度相关。【结论】盐酸预适应对干酪乳杆菌典型株ATCC393的交互保护作用最为显著,并能够维持胁迫条件下细胞生理状态的相对稳定,本研究将有助于进一步解析干酪乳杆菌在对抗不同胁迫环境的过程中生理应答机制间的相互作用关系。     

低H~+_-ATPase活性植物乳杆菌突变菌筛选及基因表达的相对定量分析

【目的】筛选H~+_-ATPase活性降低的植物乳杆菌突变菌,比较其与亲本菌基因表达水平的差异,进一步探索H~+_-ATPase的调控机制。【方法】利用硫酸新霉素诱变、筛选突变菌,并对亲本菌(ZUST)和突变菌(ZUST-1、ZUST-2)进行生长、产酸能力及H~+_-ATPase活性的测定。分别提取亲本菌和突变菌的基因组DNA,扩增H~+_-ATPase全部编码基因并测序。通过荧光定量PCR对H~+_-ATPase全部编码基因进行相对定量分析。【结果】突变菌的生长和产酸能力均低于亲本菌,突变菌ZUST-1和ZUST-2的H~+_-ATPase活性比亲本菌分别降低了10.1%和28.8%。突变菌ZUST-1和ZUST-2的atp A基因均有22个位点发生突变,而ZUST-2的atp C基因有6个位点发生突变。突变菌ZUST-1和ZUST-2的atp A在对数期基因表达水平分别比亲本菌ZUST下调了41.1%和35.7%,在稳定期分别下调了43.6%和14.2%;ZUST-1的atp C基因在对数期的表达水平比ZUST略高,在稳定期比ZUST上调了30%,而ZUST-2的atp C基因未表达。【结论】突变菌H~+_-ATPase活性减弱会导致其全部编码基因在稳定期表达水平上调(除ZUST-2的atp C不表达外),而且atp A和atp C基因突变导致的基因表达水平的差异是影响H~+_-ATPase活性的主要因素,此研究结果为进一步研究植物乳杆菌中H~+_-ATPase的调控机制奠定了基础。     

Functional role of protein kinase B/Akt in gastric acid secretion

Epidermal growth factor (EGF) stimulates gastric acid secretion and H(+)/K(+)-ATPase alpha-subunit gene expression. Because EGF activates the serine-threonine protein kinase Akt, we explored the role of Akt in gastric acid secretion. Akt phosphorylation and activation were measured by kinase assays and by Western blots with an anti-phospho-Akt antibody, using lysates of purified (>95%) canine gastric parietal cells in primary culture. EGF induced Akt phosphorylation and activation, whereas carbachol had no effect. LY294002, an inhibitor of phosphoinositide 3-kinase, completely blocked EGF induction of Akt phosphorylation, whereas the MEK1 inhibitor PD98059 and the protein kinase C inhibitor GF109203X had no effect. We examined the role of Akt in H(+)/K(+)-ATPase gene expression by Northern blotting using a canine H(+)/K(+)-ATPase alpha-subunit cDNA probe. The parietal cells were transduced with a multiplicity of infection of 100 of the adenoviral vector Ad.Myr-Akt, which overexpresses a constitutively active Akt gene, or with the control vector Ad.CMV-beta-gal, which expresses beta-galactosidase. Ad.Myr-Akt induced H(+)/K(+)-ATPase alpha-subunit gene expression 3-fold, whereas it failed to stimulate the gene cyclooxygenase-2, which was potently induced by carbachol in the same parietal cells. Ad.Myr-Akt induced aminopyrine uptake 4-fold, and it potentiated the stimulatory action of carbachol 3-fold. In contrast, Ad.Myr-Akt failed to induce changes in either parietal cell actin content, measured by Western blots with an anti-actin antibody or in the organization of the actin cellular cytoskeleton, visualized by fluorescein phalloidin staining and confocal microscopy. Transduction of the parietal cells with a multiplicity of infection of 100 of the adenoviral vector Ad.dom.neg.Akt, which overexpresses an inhibitor of Akt, blocked the stimulatory effect of EGF on both aminopyrine uptake and H(+)/K(+)-ATPase production, measured by Western blots with an anti-H(+)/K(+)-ATPase alpha-subunit antibody. Thus, EGF induces a cascade of events in the parietal cells that results in the activation of Akt. The functional role of Akt appears to be stimulation of gastric acid secretion through induction of H(+)/K(+)-ATPase expression.
