萜类化合物种类繁多,生物活性多样,在食品、药品与化妆品等行业中具有广泛的应用。萜类化合物多来源于植物,然而随着合成生物学的快速发展,相较于传统的天然植物提取与化学合成方法,利用工程微生物进行萜类化合物异源合成的方法显得更为经济与环保。萜类合成酶的催化活性及合成产物的结构特性是萜类化合物异源合成的关键。通过蛋白定向进化与理性设计可以有针对性地优化萜类合成酶的催化性能及产物专一性,但该方案需要一个特异的筛选方法来实现蛋白突变体库的高通量筛选。近年来,一系列高通量筛选方法的建立使得萜类合成酶的筛选变得更加灵敏与高效。本文对近期建立的萜类合成酶高通量筛选方法进行了综述,简要概述了各种筛选方法的基本原理与优缺点,并对高通量筛选技术在萜类合成酶改造中的应用做出了展望。  相似文献

【目的】目前对于萜类合成酶(Terpenoid synthase,TPS)的研究主要集中在植物和真菌中,而对细菌TPS的系统研究尚少。建立在大量已经被测序的细菌基因组基础上,利用生物信息学方法,对细菌TPS在全基因组范围内进行识别、分类和功能分析。【方法】利用TPS的隐马尔科夫模型(Pfam编号为PF03936)搜索自建的细菌蛋白质组数据库,预测出细菌TPS。对这些候选TPS的蛋白序列用MAFFT 7.130b进行多序列比对,并利用MEGA 6.0对多序列比对结果进行进化分析。利用MEME和PredictProtein分别进行细菌TPS的基序(Motifs)和点突变分析。【结果】建立在生物信息学分析的基础上,1 423条细菌TPS被识别,它们分布在8个门中,即放线菌门(Actinobacteria)、变形菌门(Proteobacteria)、蓝藻门(Cyanobacteria)、拟杆菌门(Bacteroidetes)、厚壁菌门(Firmicutes)、绿弯菌门(Chloroflexi)、酸杆菌门(Acidobacteria)和衣原体门(Chlamydiae)。进化分析表明细菌TPS可分为4大类,Motifs分析表明除了各类之间保守的基序(Motifs)外,还有特异的Motifs,这暗示着细菌TPS在不同类别之间的功能分化。点突变分析表明,细菌TPS不同位点的氨基酸突变对TPS功能的影响不同。【结论】细菌TPS主要分布于8个门中,其中在2个门中细菌TPS尚未见报道,即厚壁菌门(Firmicutes)与酸杆菌门(Acidobacteria)。基于进化分析,可以把细菌TPS分为4类,各类之间的差异可能是由类特异的Motifs决定的,另外细菌TPS不同氨基酸位点的突变分析为今后验证TPS的功能提供了很好的理论基础。  相似文献

Quorum sensing is a common mechanism used by bacteria to coordinate population behavior, and is involved in a variety of biological processes, such as bioluminescence, virulence factor synthesis, antibiotic production, and biofilm formation. To engineer the LuxI enzyme of the LuxI-LuxR quorum-sensing system, we developed a high throughput genetic selection to identify LuxI mutants with improved OHHL (3-oxo-hexanoyl homoserine lactone) synthesis in E. coli. Using this genetic selection, we created LuxI mutants with improved OHHL synthesis rates and yields through directed evolution, identifying three LuxI mutants after two generations. An in vivo semi-quantitative method allowed for verification of the genetic screen and OHHL yields were quantified using HPLC-MS/MS, revealing an 80-fold increase in a mutant culture compared to the wildtype culture. In addition to OHHL, the yields of C6HSL (hexanoyl homoserine lactone) and C8HSL (octanoyl homoserine lactone) were also improved, and a slight change in substrate specificity towards C6HSL production was observed. Based on alignment with the crystal structure of EsaI, a homolog of LuxI, two mutations are most likely involved in enhancing the interactions between the enzyme and the substrates. The high throughput genetic selection and the semi-quantitative method can be conveniently modified for the directed evolution of LuxI homologs. The identification of these LuxI mutants has implications in synthetic biology, where they can be used for the construction of artificial genetic circuits. In addition, development of drugs that specifically target quorum sensing to attenuate the pathogenesis of gram-negative infectious bacteria might also benefit from the insights into the molecular mechanism of quorum sensing revealed by the amino acid substitutions.  相似文献

Nitric oxide synthases (NOS), the enzymes responsible for the NO synthesis, are present in all eukaryotes. Three isoforms (neuronal, inducible and endothelial), encoded by different loci, have been described in vertebrates, although the endothelial isoform seems to be restricted to tetrapods. In invertebrates, a variety of NOS isoforms have been variably annotated as "inducible" or "neuronal", while others lack precise annotation. We have performed an exhaustive collection of the available NOS amino-acid sequences in order to perform a phylogenetic analysis. We hypothesized that the NOS isoforms reported in vertebrates derive from 1) different invertebrate NOS, 2) a single invertebrate ancestral gene, through an event related to the double whole genomic duplication that occurred at the origin of vertebrates, and 3) the endothelial form of NOS appeared late in the evolution of vertebrates, after the split of tetrapods and fishes. Our molecular evolution analysis strongly supports the second scenario, the three vertebrate NOS isoforms derived from a single ancestral invertebrate gene. Thus, the diverse NOS isoforms in invertebrates can be explained by events of gene duplication, but their characterization as "inducible" or "neuronal" should only be justified by physiological features, since they are evolutionarily unrelated to the homonym isoforms of vertebrates.  相似文献

Selection of phenotypically distinct bacterial colonies on a Petri dish is typically performed by one of two methods: chemical or mechanical. Chemical methods (e.g., antibiotic selection) rely on inherent growth advantages of the unique phenotypes desired and thus have limited applicability. Mechanical methods are generally slow and require relatively large colonies (typically hundreds of colonies per plate). Here the use of imaged light to select bacterial colonies is explored, employing either photodynamic therapy agents or a ferrochelatase mutation in combination with porphyrin precursors to sensitize the bacteria to light and a computer-controlled light projection system to illuminate some bacterial colonies while leaving others in the dark. A CCD camera was used to distinguish between bacteria expressing green fluorescent protein (GFP) from nonfluorescent colonies. The fluorescence image from the camera was then used to create a virtual masking image for photoselection. Using a simple commercial projector it was possible to confer a 56-fold selective advantage to colonies expressing GFP. This represents a potentially powerful tool in directed evolution experiments using large libraries.  相似文献

-galactosidase AgaB of Bacillus stearothermophilus was subjected to directed evolution in an effort to modify its regioselectivity. The wild-type enzyme displays a major 1,6 and minor 1,3 regioselectivity. We used random mutagenesis and staggered extension process (StEP) to obtain mutant enzymes displaying modified regioselectivity. We developed a screening procedure allowing first the elimination of AgaB mutants bearing the 1,6 regioselectivity and secondly the selection of those retaining a 1,3 regioselectivity. Our results show that, among the evolved enzymes that have lost most of their activity towards the 1,6 linkage both in hydrolysis and in synthesis, one (E901) has retained its 1,3 activity. However the transglycosylation level reached by this mutant is quite low versus that of the native enzyme. This work constitutes the first example of modification of glycosylhydrolase regioselectivity by directed evolution.  相似文献

The potential use of proteins in device applications has advanced in large part due to significant advances in the methods and procedures of protein engineering, most notably, directed evolution. Directed evolution has been used to tailor a broad range of enzymatic proteins for pharmaceutical and industrial applications. Thermal stability, chemical stability, and substrate specificity are among the most common phenotypes targeted for optimization. However, in vivo screening systems for photoactive proteins have been slow in development. A high-throughput screening system for the photokinetic optimization of photoactive proteins would promote the development of protein-based field-effect transistors, artificial retinas, spatial light modulators, photovoltaic fuel cells, three-dimensional volumetric memories, and optical holographic processors. This investigation seeks to optimize the photoactive protein bacteriorhodopsin (BR) for volumetric optical and holographic memories. Semi-random mutagenesis and in vitro screening were used to create and analyze nearly 800 mutants spanning the entire length of the bacterio-opsin (bop) gene. To fully realize the potential of BR in optoelectronic environments, future investigations will utilize global mutagenesis and in vivo screening systems. The architecture for a potential in vivo screening system is explored in this study. We demonstrate the ability to measure the formation and decay of the red-shifted O-state within in vivo colonies of Halobacterium salinarum, and discuss the implications of this screening method to directed evolution. These authors contributed equally to this work.  相似文献

Synthetic biology is an engineering approach that seeks to design and construct new biological parts, devices and systems, as well as to re-design existing components. However, rationally designed synthetic circuits may not work as expected due to the context-dependence of biological parts. Darwinian selection, the main mechanism through which evolution works, is a major force in creating biodiversity and may be a powerful tool for synthetic biology. This article reviews selection-based techniques and proposes strict Darwinian selection as an alternative approach for the identification and characterization of parts. Additionally, a strategy for fine-tuning of relatively complex circuits by coupling them to a master standard circuit is discussed.  相似文献
