A lambda placMu1 insertion was made into araE, the gene for arabinose-proton symport in Escherichia coli. A phage containing an araE'-'lacZ fusion was recovered from the lysogen and its restriction map compared with that of the 61-min region of the E. coli genome to establish the gene order thyA araE orf lysR lysA galR; araE was transcribed toward orf. A 4.8-kilobase SalI-EcoRI DNA fragment containing araE was subcloned from the phage lambda d(lysA+ galR+ araE+) into the plasmid vector pBR322. From this plasmid a 2.8-kilobase HincII-PvuII DNA fragment including araE was sequenced and also subcloned into the expression vector pAD284. The araE gene was 1416-base pairs long, encoding a hydrophobic protein of 472 amino acids with a calculated Mr of 51,683. The amino acid sequence was homologous with the xylose-proton symporter of E. coli and the glucose transporters from a human hepatoma HepG2 cell line, human erythrocytes, and rat brain. The overexpressed araE gene product was identified in Coomassie-stained sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis gels of cell membranes as a protein of apparent Mr 35,000 +/- 1,150. Arabinose protected this protein against reaction with N-ethylmaleimide. 相似文献

Cloning of Bacillus subtilis DNA fragment with the lysA gene encoding diaminopimelatecarboxylase (EC 4.1.1.20) was done. The cloned gene in poorly expressed both in Escherichia coli and in Bacillus subtilis. Some DNA sequence distant from the lysA gene seems to be necessary for full gene expression, this sequence having been not cloned together with the lysA. The sequence in needed for regulation of the expression as well. 相似文献

Different strains of Corynebacterium glutamicum, Brevibacterium flavum, and Brevibacterium lactofermentum were analysed for restriction fragment length polymorphism using the homoserine dehydrogenase gene (hom) as a probe. The hybridization patterns obtained PvuII- or Asp700-restriction of chromosomal DNA were specific and distinguishable for each of the three species and identical for the different strains of each species. Thus, the method employed allows rapid distinction of Corynebacterium glutamicum, Brevibacterium flavum, and Brevibacterium lactofermentum. The former species could also be discriminated from the latter two by its resistance to 0.5 g/l of the methionine analog ethionine. 相似文献

The lysA gene of Bacillus methanolicus MGA3 was cloned by complementation of an auxotrophic Escherichia coli lysA22 mutant with a genomic library of B. methanolicus MGA3 chromosomal DNA. Subcloning localized the B. methanolicus MGA3 lysA gene into a 2.3-kb SmaI-SstI fragment. Sequence analysis of the 2.3-kb fragment indicated an open reading frame encoding a protein of 48,223 Da, which was similar to the meso-diaminopimelate (DAP) decarboxylase amino acid sequences of Bacillus subtilis (62%) and Corynebacterium glutamicum (40%). Amino acid sequence analysis indicated several regions of conservation among bacterial DAP decarboxylases, eukaryotic ornithine decarboxylases, and arginine decarboxylases, suggesting a common structural arrangement for positioning of substrate and the cofactor pyridoxal 5'-phosphate. The B. methanolicus MGA3 DAP decarboxylase was shown to be a dimer (M(r) 86,000) with a subunit molecular mass of approximately 50,000 Da. This decarboxylase is inhibited by lysine (Ki = 0.93 mM) with a Km of 0.8 mM for DAP. The inhibition pattern suggests that the activity of this enzyme in lysine-overproducing strains of B. methanolicus MGA3 may limit lysine synthesis. 相似文献

The dapA and dapB genes, encoding, respectively, dihydrodipicolinate synthase and dihydrodipicolinate reductase, the two first enzymes of the lysine branch of the aspartic amino acid family, were cloned from the DNA of the amino acid-producing bacterium Brevibacterium lactofermentum. The two genes were clustered in a 3.5-kb Sau3AI-BamHI fragment but were separated by an open reading frame of 750 nucleotides. The protein encoded by this open reading frame had little similarity to any protein in the data banks, and its function remains unknown. The three genes were translated in Escherichia coli, giving the corresponding polypeptides. 相似文献

The xylDEGF operon and the regulatory gene xylS of the TOL plasmid found in Pseudomonas putida mt-2 were cloned onto Escherichia coli vector plasmids. A 9.5-kilobase fragment, derived from the TOL segment of pTN2 deoxyribonucleic acid, carried the xyl genes D, E, G, and F, which encode toluate oxygenase, catechol 2,3-oxygenase, 2-hydroxymuconic semialdehyde dehydrogenase, and 2-hydroxymuconic semialdehyde hydrolase, respectively. The enzymes were noninducible unless a 3-kilobase PstI fragment, derived also from the TOL segment, was provided in either cis or trans. The PstI fragment appeared to contain the regulatory gene xylS, which produced a positive regulator. The regulator was activated by m-toluate or benzoate, but not by m-xylene or m-methylbenzyl alcohol. the map positions of xylG and xylF were also determined. 相似文献

The minimal region for autonomous replication of pBL1, a 4.5-kb cryptic plasmid of Brevibacterium lactofermentum ATCC 13869 that has been used to construct a variety of corynebacterium vectors, was shown to be contained on a 1.8-kb HindII-SphI DNA fragment. This region contains two open reading frames (ORFs) (ORF1 and ORF5) which are essential for pBL1 replication in B. lactofermentum. Accumulation of single-strand intermediates in some of the constructions indicates that plasmid pBL1 replicates via the rolling circle replication model; its plus strand and minus strand were identified by hybridization with two synthetic oligonucleotide probes complementary to each pBL1 strand. ORF1 seems to encode the Rep protein and showed partial homology with sequences for Rep proteins from Streptomyces plasmids which replicate via rolling circle replication such as pIJ101, pSB24, and pJV1. 相似文献

The genes encoding the two major Epstein-Barr virus glycoproteins (gp350/300 and gp220/200) have been mapped to a 5-kilobase fragment of the viral genome (BamHI-L). This fragment encodes 3.4- and 2.8-kilobase RNAs which translate proteins of 135 and 100 kilodaltons, respectively. Both proteins react with antiserum specific for gp350/300 and gp220/200. The 135-kilodalton protein is identical in size to the nascent polypeptide precursor to gp350/300, and the 100-kilodalton protein is the expected size of the polypeptide precursor to gp220/200. 相似文献

The nisin resistance determinant and an origin of replication on pNP40, a plasmid of about 60 kilobases that is present in Streptococcus lactis subsp. diacetylactis DRC3, was cloned on a 7.6-kilobase EcoRI fragment. When self-ligated, this fragment existed as an independent replicon (pFM011) and contained a 2.6-kilobase EcoRI-XbaI fragment encoding nisin resistance. 相似文献

Poly-beta-hydroxybutyrate biosynthesis in Alcaligenes eutrophus H16. Characterization of the genes encoding beta-ketothiolase and acetoacetyl-CoA reductase 总被引:24,自引:0,他引:24
The poly-beta-hydroxybutyrate biosynthetic thiolase gene from Zoogloea ramigera was used as a hybridization probe to screen restriction digests of Alcaligenes eutrophus H16 DNA. Specific hybridization signals were obtained and two fragments (a 2.3-kilobase PstI fragment and a 15-kilobase EcoRI fragment) cloned in the Escherichia coli vector pUC8 (plasmids pAeT3/pAeT10 and pAeT29, respectively). Biochemical analysis of lysates of E. coli cells containing each plasmid identified significant levels of beta-ketothiolase and acetoacetyl-CoA reductase enzyme activities in lysates of E. coli cells containing plasmids pAeT10 or pAeT29. Nucleotide sequence analysis of the pAeT10 insert identified two open reading frames which encode polypeptides of Mr = 40,500 and Mr = 26,300 corresponding to the structural genes for beta-ketothiolase (phbA) and acetoacetyl-CoA reductase (phbB), respectively. Amino acid sequence homologies between the two bacterial and two mammalian thiolases are discussed with respect to the chain length specificity exhibited by the different thiolase enzymes. 相似文献

The cis-acting elements for regulating gene expression of the tobacco pathogenesis-related 1a protein gene were analyzed in transgenic plants. The 5'-flanking 2.4-kilobase fragment from the pathogenesis-related 1a protein gene was joined to the bacterial beta-glucuronidase gene and introduced into tobacco cells by Agrobacterium-mediated gene transfer. Promoter activity was monitored by quantitative and histochemical assay of beta-glucuronidase activity in leaves of regenerated transgenic plants. The level of beta-glucuronidase activity was clearly increased by treatment with salicylic acid, by cutting stress, and by local lesion formation caused by tobacco mosaic virus infection. Cytochemical studies of the induced beta-glucuronidase activity revealed tissue-specific and developmentally regulated expression of the pathogenesis-related 1a gene after stress or chemical treatment and after pathogen attack. To identify the cis-acting element more precisely, a series of 5'-deleted chimeric genes was constructed and transformed into tobacco plants. Transgenic plants with a 0.3-kilobase fragment of the 5'-flanking region of the pathogenesis-related 1a gene had the same qualitative response as those with the 2.4-kilobase fragment upon treatment with salicylic acid or infection with TMV. Thus, the 0.3-kilobase DNA sequence fragment was sufficient to allow the regulated expression of the pathogenesis-related 1a gene. 相似文献

Novel cloning vectors for glutamic acid-producing bacteria have been constructed. Two cryptic plasmids, pAM330 from Brevibacterium lactofermentum and pHM1519 from Corynebacterium glutamicum, were used as precursors, and recombined with pBR325 or pUB110. Resultant composite plasmids were able to propagate and to express the CmR or KmR phenotype in B. lactofermentum and C. glutamicum. A smaller, high-copy-number plasmid, pAJ43, was also isolated following deletion of a part of the pAM330-pBR325 composite plasmid. Furthermore, a cosmid vector, which can be packaged and transduced through phage infection, has been developed using a cohesive-end fragment of the f1A phage and plasmid pAJ43. These plasmids are suitable for use as cloning vectors in the glutamic acid-producing bacteria. 相似文献

Isolation of ftsI and murE genes involved in peptidoglycan synthesis from Corynebacterium glutamicum
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

Twenty-two bald mutants of Streptomyces griseus were isolated and classified into four phenotypic groups, two of which showed conditional sporulation. A 3-kilobase fragment of DNA was cloned in a high-copy-number vector and detected by its ability to restore sporulation to one class of conditionally bald mutants. Analysis of subclones demonstrated that the sporulation property was contained within a 2.5-kilobase fragment. Hybridization studies and restriction analysis indicated that this DNA fragment was present in several Streptomyces species and was distinct from DNA that has been shown to complement afsA mutants of S. bikiniensis and bldA mutants of S. coelicolor. 相似文献
