The gene coding for β-galactosidase fromEscherichia coli was cloned into plasmid pACT71 containing the replicon from plasmid pAC1 fromAcetobacter pasteurianus. E. coli MC4100,E. coli JM105,E. coli LE392.23 andA. pasteurianus 3614 were transformed with the recombinant plasmid pACB815. Cells were cultivated in LB, YPG and M media supplemented with
glucose, glycerol, lactose or ethanol and β-galactosidase activity was detected in the cells and in the cultivation medium.
The best substrate for production of β-galactosidase was lactose. To release β-galactosidase fromA. pasteurianus cells amino acids were added to the cultivation medium. The highest secretory activity was achieved using 1.5% glycine after
36 h of cultivation in the M medium. 相似文献

We have used a recombinant adenovirus vector (E1−) expressing β-galactosidase to explore a novel mechanism with which to transfer
genes into cells of the central nervous system (CNS). The replication-deficient adenovirus vector expressing β-galactosidase
(RAd35) was propagated on a permissive helper cell line (293 cells). High level protein expression from the human cytomegalovirus
immediate early promoter (hCMV IE) was obtained in a target cell population of RAd35 infected cultured neuronal and glial
cell lines. Light microscopy showed that over 50% of the glial cells studied expressed β-galactosidase. Following retinoic
acid treatment, RAd35 infected cell lines ND7/23, NG108 and NTera2, showed β-galactosidase expression in up to 90% of the
cells. In addition, these cells showed morphological evidence of differentiation into neurons. This pattern of β-galactosidase
expression was also observed in primary rat cerebella granule neuron cultures. In vivo studies were performed in Balb/c mice
following direct intracranial injections of RAd35 into the brain. Cell sections showed a localised staining in the brain at
the site of injection of the virus. Non-replicating adenovirus vectors are therefore highly efficient systems for delivering
a transgene into brain cells. However, their broad cell tropism may limit their applications for genetic disorders in which
a specific cell type is to be targeted for gene therapy. To address this problem, we have constructed adenovirus vectors which
contain specific neuronal promoters and are currently assessing in vitro expression.

Summary The main purpose of this study was to examine, for the first time, the ability of recombinant adenovirus to mediate gene transfer
into cardiac myocytes derived from mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells differentiating in vitro. In addition, observations were made on the effect of adenovirus infection on cardiac myocyte differentiation and contractility
in this in vitro system of cardiogenesis. ES cell cultures were infected at various times of differentiation with a recombinant adenovirus
vector (AdCMVlacZ) containing the bacterial lacZ gene under the control of the cytomegalovirus (CMV) promoter. Expression of the lacZ reporter gene was determined by histochemical staining for β-galactosidase activity. LacZ expression was not detected in undifferentiated ES cells infected with AdCMVlacZ. In contrast, infection of differentiating
ES cell cultures showed increasing transgene expression with continued time in culture. Expression in ES-cell-derived cardiac
myocytes was demonstrated by codetection of β-galactosidase activity and troponin T with indirect immunofluorescence. At 24
h postinfection, approximately 27% of the cardiac myocytes were β-galactosidase positive, and lacZ gene expression appeared to be stable for up to 21 postinfection. Adenovirus infection had no apparent effect on the onset,
extent, or duration of spontaneously contracting ES-cell-derived cardiomyocytes, indicating that cardiac differentiation and
contractile function were not significantly altered in the infected cultures. The demonstration of adenovirus-mediated gene
transfer into ES-cell-derived cardiac myocytes will aid studies of gene expression with this in vitro model of cardiogenesis and may facilitate future studies involving the use of these myocytes for grafting experiments in vivo. 相似文献

Summary Recombinant plasmid containing β-galactosidase gene fused to trp promoter (pMCT98) and that containing cloned trp repressor gene (pRLK13) were introduced into Escherichia coli C600. The bacterium was cultivated in a jar-fermetor equipped with a cross-flow filtration apparatus to attain the on-off
regulation of the gene expression by controlling tryptophan concentration in the medium. In logarithmic growth phase, the
cross-flow filtration was started. Tryptophan concentration dropped to a low level within 1 h and an efficient expression
of β-galactosidase gene was started. By this twostage cultivation, very high biomass was achieved (final OD570: 150) and the amount of produced β-galactosidase was about 10% of total cellular proteins. 相似文献

A genomic DNA library screen yielded the nucleotide sequence of a 12 kb fragment containing a gene (2067 bp) coding a thermostable
β-galactosidase from Alicyclobacillus acidocaldarius ATCC 27009. The β-galactosidase gene was expressed in Pichia pastoris, and up to 90 mg recombinant β-galactosidase/l accumulated in shake flask cultures. Using o-nitrophenyl-β-d-galactopyranoside as a substrate, the optimum pH and temperature of the purified recombinant β-galactosidase were 5.8–6.0
and 70°C, respectively. The enzyme retained 90% of its activity when heated at 70°C for 30 min. Approximately 48% of lactose
in milk was hydrolyzed following treatment with the recombinant enzyme over 60 min at 65°C. 相似文献

Recombinant Lactococcus lactis MG1363/pMG36e-lacZ exhibiting high β-galactosidase activities were constructed by us in the previous study. However, erythromycin
resistance present in these recombinants restricted their practical application in food preparation. This study was conducted
to delete the gene coding for erythromycin resistance present in recombinant L. lactis, as a result of which these bacteria express food-grade β-galactosidase. In this study, the recombinant plasmid pMG36e-lacZ
was digested with restriction enzymes BclI and HpaI and the food-grade plasmid FGZW was rebuilt. FGZW was transformed into Escherichia coli JM109 and L. lactis MG1363. Erythromycin resistance, enzyme activity determination, gene sequencing and SDS-PAGE analysis indicated that these
new recombinant bacteria lost erythromycin resistance and its relevant gene but still expressed β-galactosidase activities,
although a decrease in the expression of β-galactosidase of these new strains was observed. The β-galactosidase food-grade
expression system was successfully constructed and it could provide a new solution for the management of lactose intolerance.
These results might promote the usage of gene-modified microorganisms and related technology in the food sector, which has
the highest priority for food safety. 相似文献

The effects of medium composition, nutrient limitation and dilution rate on the loss of the recombinant plasmid pLG669-z
and plasmid-borne β -galactosidase expression were studied in batch and chemostat cultures of Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain CGpLG. The difference in growth rates between plasmid-free and plasmid-containing cells (Δμ) and the rate of segregation (R) were determined and some common factors resulting from the effect of medium composition
on plasmid loss were identified. Glucose-limited chemostat cultures of CGpLG grown on defined medium were more stable at
higher dilution rates and exhibited Δμ -dominated plasmid loss kinetics. Similar cultures grown on complex medium were more stable at lower dilution rates and
exhibited R-dominated plasmid loss kinetics. Overall plasmid stability was greatest in phosphate-limited chemostat cultures
grown on defined medium and was least stable in magnesium-limited cultures grown on defined medium. Δμ decreased and R increased with increased dilution rate, irrespective of medium composition. Increased plasmid loss rates
at high or low dilution rates would appear to be characteristic of loss kinetics dominated by R or Δμ, respectively. Growth of glucose-limited chemostat cultures on complex medium decreased Δμ values but increased R values, in comparison to those cultures grown on defined medium. Any increased stability that a complex
medium-induced reduction of Δμ may have conferred was counteracted by an increased R value. Increased β-galactosidase productivity was correlated with increased plasmid stability only in glucose-limited chemostat cultures grown
on defined medium and not in those grown on complex medium. Previous studies have yielded contrasting responses with regard
to the effect of dilution rate on recombinant plasmid loss from S. cerevisiae. Our findings can account for these differences and may be generally valid for the stability of similar yeast plasmid constructs.
This information would facilitate the design of bioprocesses, where recombinant plasmid instability results in reduced culture
productivity.

Cell transplantation has potential benefits for tissue replacement in the the enhancement of tissue regeneration and as cell-mediated gene therapy for systemic diseases. The transplantation of myoblasts into skeletal muscle also allows gene transfer into cells of the host since myoblasts fuse with host fibers thereby forming hybrid myofibers. The success of myoblast transplantation can be determined by a variety of measures, such as the percentage of myoblasts that fuse, the number of hybrid myofibers formed, or the level of transgene expression. Each measure is a reflection of the fate of the transplanted cells. In order to compare different measures of transplantation efficacy, we followed the fate of transplanted myoblasts expressing the marker enzyme β-galactosidase (β-gal) in two different assays. Two weeks after transplantation, the number of hybrid myofibers was determined histochemically, whereas transgene (β-gal) expression was measured biochemically. To control for variabilities of transplantation among different animals, we obtained both measurements from each muscle by using alternate cryosections in the two assays. Within each individual muscle, both hybrid fiber number and/β-gal expression were maximal at the site of implantation and diminished in parallel with distance from the site. However, for determining the success of transplantation among groups of muscles, these two measures of efficacy yielded discordant results: the transplants with the highest number of hybrid fibers were not the transplants with the greatest β-gal activity. Such discrepancies are likely due to regional variations at the transplantation site that arise when cells are introduced into a solid tissue. These results demonstrate the importance of multiple measures of cell fate and transplantation efficacy for studies of cell trans-plantation and for the application of such studies to cell therapy and cell-mediated gene therapy. 相似文献

The β-Galactosidase Activity in <Emphasis Type="Italic">Kluyveromyces marxianus</Emphasis> CBS6556 Decreases by High Concentrations of Galactose 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
In this paper we report on the effect of different concentrations of lactose and galactose in the production of β-galactosidase
by Kluyveromyces marxianus CBS6556. The results clearly demonstrate a decrease in enzyme specific activity during cultivation at high concentrations
of L-lactose or D-galactose, despite the fact that these carbohydrates are normally used for induction of the β-galactosidase
activity. Therefore, maximum induction of β-galactosidase in K. marxianus batch cultures was obtained at low concentrations of the inducer carbohydrates, in the range between 0.5 to 15 mM. Those
informations can help to design low cost medium with higher β-galactosidase productivity by K. marxianus cells.

The rpoS gene from Pseudomonas sp. M18, which encodes predicted protein (an alternative sigma factor s, σS, or σ38) with 99.5% sequence identity with RpoS from Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1, was first cloned. In order to investigate the mechanism of rpoS expression, an rpoS null mutant, named M18S, was constructed with insertion of aacC1 cassette bearing a gentamycin resistance gene. With introduction of a plasmid containing an rpoS′–′lacZ translational fusion (pMERS) to wild-type strain M18 or M18S, it was first found that β-galactosidase activity expressed
in strain M18S (pMERS) decreased to fourfold of that expressed in the strain M18 (pMERS). When strain M18S (pMERS) was introduced
with another plasmid pBBS containing the wild-type rpoS gene, its β-galactosidase expression level was enhanced and almost restored to that in strain M18 (pMERS). Similarly, expression
of β-galactosidase from a chromosomal fusion of the promoter of the wild-type rpoS gene with lacZ (rpoS–lacZ) was enhanced fivefold in the presence of a plasmid with the wild-type rpoS gene. With these findings, it is suggested that RpoS sigma factor may be involved in autoinducing its own gene expression
in Pseudomonas sp. M18. 相似文献

One way of improving heterologous protein production is to use high cell density systems, one of the most attractive being
the flocculating yeast production system. Also, lactose is available in large amounts as a waste product from cheese production
processes. The construction of flocculent and non-flocculent brewer's yeast strains secreting β-galactosidase and growing
on lactose is presented. A plasmid was constructed coding for an extracellular β-galactosidase of Aspergillus niger and having, as selective marker, the yeast CUP1 gene conferring resistance to copper. This selective marker allows for the transformation of wild-type yeasts. This work
represents an important step towards the study of heterologous protein secretion by flocculent cells.

Studies were conducted to characterize the effect of gene amplification and foreign gene expression on recombinant CHO cell
growth. Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells were transfected with an expression vector containing the gene for dihydrofolate
reductase (dhfr) and the gene for human β-interferon (β-IFN) or thelac Z gene which codes for β-galactosidase (β-gal). The recombinant genes in these CHO cells were amplified stepwise by growth
in 0, 10−7, and 10−6 M methotrexate (MTX), and the β-gal expressing cells were adapted to suspension culture. Flow cytometric methods (FCM) were
used to measure the distribution of amplifieddhfr gene content and foreign β-gal gene expression in the cell populations. A biochemical assay for β-gal was also used. Beta-gal
expression was found to increase with increasing gene amplification. The growth rate of recombinant CHO cells at 10−7 M MTX was found to be 20% lower than that of recombinant CHO cells in MTX-free medium, and the cell growth rate at 10−6 M MTX was 20% lower than that of recombinant CHO cells at 10−7 M MTX. There was no effect of 10−5 M MTX on the growth of CHO-DG44 (dhfr-) cells. The reduction of growth rate in recombinant CHO cells is therefore thought to be mainly due to the effect ofdhfr and foreign gene amplification and increased β-galactosidase expression. 相似文献

GM1-gangliosidosis is a progressive neurological disease in humans caused by deficiency of lysosomal acid β-galactosidase,
which hydrolyses the terminal β-galactosidic residue from ganglioside GM1 and other glycoconjugates. In this study, we generated
a mouse model for GM1-gangliosidosis by gene targeting in embryonic stem cells. The mouse homozygous for the disrupted β-galactosidase
gene showed β-galactosidase deficiency, presented with progressive spastic diplegia, and died of emaciation at 7–10 months
of age. Pathologically, PAS-positive intracytoplasmic storage was observed in neuronal cells of various areas in the brain.
Biochemical analysis revealed a marked accumulation of ganglioside GM1 and asialo GM1 in brain tissue. This animal model will
be useful for pathogenetic analysis and therapeutic trial of human GM1-gangliosidosis.

The Escherichia coli lacZ gene has frequently been used as a reporter in cell lineage analysis, in determining the elements regulating spatial and temporal gene expression, and in enhancer/gene trap detection of developmentally regulated genes. However, it is uncertain whether lacZ expression affects eukaryotic cell growth and development. By using a gene trap, we previously isolated the promoter, Ayu1, which is active in ES cells and in several tissues including the gonads. We used this promoter and the nuclear location signal of the SV40 large T gene to locate β-galactosidase either in the cytoplasm or the nucleus. Transgenic lines containing β-galactosidase in the cytoplasm of a wide variety of cell types did not transmit the transgene to their offspring. In contrast, transgenic mice, containing β-galactosidase in the nucleus, did transmit the transgene successfully. Interestingly, lacZ expression in the brain was more restricted when β-galactosidase activity was detected in the cytoplasm. These data suggested that cytoplasmic β-galactosidase affects certain developmental processes or gametogenesis resulting in transmission distortion of the transgene, and that this effect can be reduced by targeting β-galactosidase to the nucleus. We also found that Ayu1-driven lacZ expression in the duodenum of adult transgenic mice was sexually dimorphic, being positive in females and negative in males. 相似文献

Abstract The β-galactosidase (β-Gal) gene from Lactobacillus plantarum C3.8 was cloned and expressed in Lactococcus lactis and Escherichia coli . Hybridization experiments indicated that the gene is located on a plasmid and is present in other strains of Lactobacillus plantarum . Its sequence is very similar to a Leuconostoc lactis β-Gal gene. Expression of the gene, both in Lactobacillus plantarum and in Lactococcus lactis , was four-fold higher in cells grown in lactose compared to those grown in glucose. The presence of the β-Gal gene in Lactococcus lactis allowed this bacterium to be efficient in clotting milk. 相似文献

The expression of two temperature-sensitive reporter genes, hsp70 and an hsp70-LacZ fusion, in free-ranging adult Drosophila melanogaster indicates that natural thermal stress experienced by such small and mobile insects may be either infrequent or not severe.
Levels of the heat-shock protein Hsp70, the major inducible Hsp of Drosophila, were similar in most wild Droso- phila captured after warm days to levels previously reported for unstressed flies in the laboratory. In a transgenic strain transformed
with an hsp70-LacZ fusion (i.e., the structural gene encoding bacterial β-galactosidase under control of a heat shock promoter), exposure to
temperatures ≥32°C in the laboratory typically resulted in β-galactosidase activities exceeding 140 mOD450 h–1μg–1 soluble protein. Flies caged in sun frequently had β-galactosidase activities in excess of this level, whereas flies caged
in shade and flies released and recaptured on cool days did not. Most flies (>80%) released on warm, sunny days had low β-galactosidase
activities upon recapture. Although the balance of recaptured flies had elevated β-galactosidase activities on these days,
their β-galactosidase activities were <50% of levels for flies caged in direct sunlight or exposed to laboratory heat shock.
These data suggest that even on warm days most flies may avoid thermal stress, presumably through microhabitat selection,
but that a minority of adult D. melanogaster undergo mild thermal stress in nature. Both temperature-sensitive reporter genes, however, are limited in their ability to
infer thermal stress and demonstrate its absence.

Summary Cotton callus and suspension cultures developed from a cotton variety susceptible toXanthomonas malvacearum (E. F. Sm.) Dow, were grown on chemically defined media that contained one of the carbohydrate sources: 3% sucrose, 3% lactose,
3% maltose, 3% fructose, and 3% glucose. All cells were maintained on a medium with sucrose as the carbohydrate and subsequently
transferred to media containing the above carbohydrates. Sucrose was the best carbon source for a high growth rate; however,
cells growing on glucose, which was almost as good as sucrose, and cells growing on lactose did not turn brown when they reached
the stationary phase of growth. A crude extract from callus tissue growing on lactose has a fivefold increase in β-galactosidase
[EC 3.21.23] activity as compared with the extract from callus tissue growing on sucrose. When callus tissue growing on lactose
was transferred tomedium containing sucrose, β-galactosidase activity decreased to the level as measured in cells maintained
on sucrose. Callus cells growing on a lactose medium showed staining when treated with 5-bromo-4-chloro-3-indolyl β-D-galactopyranoside
in which very heavy granular stains appeared. Cells growing on sucrose did not show the histochemical staining. These observations
suggest that β-galactosidase is induced in cotton callus tissue that has been transferred from a medium containing sucrose
to a medium containing lactose.

Immune responses to vector-corrected cells have limited the application of gene therapy for treatment of chronic disorders such as inherited deficiency states. We have found that recombinant adeno-associated virus (AAV) efficiently transduces muscle fibers in vivo without activation of cellular and humoral immunity to neoantigenic transgene products such as β-galactosidase, which differs from the experience with recombinant adenovirus, where vibrant T-cell responses to the transgene product destroy the targeted muscle fibers. T cells activated following intramuscular administration of adenovirus expressing lacZ (AdlacZ) can destroy AAVlacZ-transduced muscle fibers, indicating a prior state of immunologic nonresponsiveness in the context of AAV gene therapy. Adoptive transfer of dendritic cells infected with AdlacZ leads to immune mediated elimination of AAVlacZ-transduced muscle fibers. AAVlacZ-transduced antigen-presenting cells fail to demonstrate β-galactosidase activity and are unable to elicit transgene immunity in adoptive transfer experiments. These studies indicate that vector-mediated transduction of dendritic cells is necessary for cellular immune responses to muscle gene therapy, a step which AAV avoids, providing a useful biological niche for its use in gene therapy. 相似文献
